    Ok so I recently got a Mac book and haven't really got around to organizing my 2014 season trail cam photos. Ive been playing around with it and I just can't seem to figure this out. I need help with taking pictures from the SD card, putting the good pics into folders, and then deleting all the photos off the SD card and deleting the bad photos off of iPhoto. Any help Will be great! I posted similar thing in trail cam section but I feel I will get more help here!

    You can't plug a SD chip into a Mac Book.

    Dumb question has you put the card in? Have you tried plugging the camera into the book with a cord rather than the SD card? Is there any indication of action or a message when you put the chip in?

    I have had the best luck with running the cord from the camera to the book rather than the chip, the camera will give you an indication if the info is being sent.

    Hey Wisco, what settings did he have you change? Ever since I did the update for my Macbook it stopped reading the SD card

    Try plugging in your cam via USB cord while keeping the SD card in the cam ,your Mac should automatically open a new file and you can delete/organize photos on their.Hope this helps

    What seems to be the most time efficient for me on my mac is. I have the viewing program that automatically opens when I plug my sd card it. It is set to automatically upload all pictures to my trail cam folder Into a numbered folder, and then clear my sd card. The. When that's all done. I just open all my pictures in the default views. And just go down the list and hit delete on the pics I dot want. Super easy

    Don't use iPhoto, its garbage. Just use normal folders.
