You don't need to even have a program open to transfer but if you do,
you don't need to close it. On a Mac, drag the image of the card to
the trash or choose Eject from the File menu or click on the eject icon
in the finder window. On a Windows machine, there should be an icon at
the right side bottom of the screen that is for disconnecting hardware
or ejecting drives. Use that. The card reader can stay plugged in if
you are on a desktop machine. Do not unplug a USB reader while the
icon of the card is showing. After the card is ejected the USB card
reader will not show up on the desktop until you plug in another card.

(My parents always said that asking questions is how we learn!) :) ShyrellThere are many different card readers available. Most are about the size of a deck of cards or smaller and will read multiple types of cards. Usually, a simple USB hook up. When you insert your camera card into the reader it will appear like a drive on your desktop. Be sure to eject the drive from desktop before removing card. Don Shyrell Melara wrote:Thanks Don. My problem now is, what does the card reader look like and does it go inside the computer or hook up outside with a USB? I haven't had this problem before. Thanks, S. |
