  • Computer question, sorry!

    I know there's some computer buffs on here and hoping someone can help. I have a disc with almost 300 pics on it, I have tried to copy them to a card as my DVD reader is not working properly ( erratic opening, can't always get it to open) on my husbands laptop but although the pictures will open on the lap top the card appears blank when I try to open/read them through my camera.

    By card do you mean an SD card?

    Probably won't open them because the format is different once they have been through the laptop?

    I'd not trust an SD card personally; I have a hard drive that all mine are copied to.

      most camera memory cards store the pic files in a specified directory and I imagine if you want to view pics copied to the card from another source, they would need to be copied in to that directory.

        Oh ok, seemed like an easy thing to do. Yes I do mean an sd. Card, it just says its blank/ no files found . Thought it would be straightforward copy action. What is confusing is that the disc with the photos on is unreadable on my computer . The one time I did manage to open the DVD player it didn't read them straight from the disc.
        Getting very frustrated, need to do some printing!

          Snap! Formatting issues, but as Zaz says you really need a plug in hard drive. I also back up to cloud and store on two other devices. I'm paranoid about corruption of my memory books.

                Yes Taff, that thought came to me in the middle of the night. Don't think I have one with enough space it's a big file. Will investigate. Thanks.
