One of my client’s today did not know how to transfer photos from her computer to a SD Card so she could utilize her digital picture frame she received at Christmas. She was amazed and relieved at how simple the steps were once I walked her through the process.
This method works for transferring any type of file from your computer to an external drive like a USB flash drive, external hard drive, or a memory card like shown here.
- Insert your memory card into the computer (or card reader…note too that newer digital cameras can act as a card reader as well)
- Click Start –> My Computer
- Double-click your memory card
- Click Start –> My Pictures (Pictures in Vista and Windows 7)
- Position the two windows side-by-side (see video below or click here for complete tutorial on using the title bar)
- Drag photos from your Pictures folders to external drive (Learn how to select multiple files here or here.)

Can you take the pictures off of an memory card in the same manner that you put them on? Or would you just delete them and add new ones?
Yes you can except that deleting the photos or any other file or files in the card is quicker specially if it some thing like puting pictures in a digital picture frame that you want put newer photos and delete the old ones
I know how to put photos on the memory card. When I put the memory card into the slot on the HP printer, it does not allow the icon to stay on the desktop. It flashes on then disappears? is there something I am doing wrong or is it the memory card or the HP Photosmart Printer?
