I've never had a problem transferring digital photos from my camera (Canon Ixus) to my laptop, to do this I use a USB cable connection rather than taking out the SD card from the camera.

However, I'm having no joy trying to do the reverse. First of all I tried the USB cable connection but no option came up in the menu box to transfer photos back onto the card. So I removed the SD card from my camera, stuck it in the SD port on my laptop, and drag and dropped a photo onto the SD card. But when I put the SD card back into my camera, there's no sign of it. Any ideas?...

Yes there is a reason why you will have great difficulty in doing what you want. Metadata (Exif) is written to the card by the camera. This is done differently by various camera manufacturers.


Image editors have to interpet this info to create the image on your computer, during this process the image editor damages/alters or even removes the metadata. Without this data being present in it's original form the camera cannot read the file.

out of curiosity, why do this?

The mother in law requested the same with similar results, but there's so many ways to store, host and view images these days I can't see why you'd want to get it back on a camera when getting people to get them off the damn camera is usually the hard part ;)

You can download Opanda IExif from here.

It displays the image taken from digital camera and every item of EXIF data in the image from beginning to end.


Even down to the number of the picture that your camera has ever taken.

Thanks KK and Foxy.

EP...this came about as I wanted to print off photos using one of those machines in Boots/Snappy Snaps, which you can do via an SD card, CD, USB stick etc. I was just curious why it wouldn't appear back on my camera. I thought it would be quite a simple task...obviously not! :)

If your PC can read them back, it is likely the Snappy Snap machine will be able to read them..

Do you get a chance to see the pics before you have to pay. ?


Foxy.

No idea Ian. It's not a dealbreaker for me that I can't get them back onto the camera, I was just curious why they wouldn't go back.

I haven't been to Boots yet Foxy, but like you say, I'm sure their machine will be able to read the SD card, and I presume I'll be able to choose which photo to print off. I shall take a USB stick as back-up just in case...

It's probably too late for you now, but Snapfish often have offers on (30% off at the moment).


It's very easy to upload pix to their website, and they have very speedy delivery (mine arrived in two days.) I got 100 6X4 prints for just over six pounds, with free delivery.


Saves you a trip to Boots and all the hassle you seem to have had. And the quality of the prints is very good, in my opinion.


They're always having offers, though their half price 7X5 prints one has just finished.


ETA: I can't find a way to link to the Snapfish page without it coming up as my account, probably because I'm permanently logged in or something, but if you google Snapfish it should come up first.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
