What a soothing experience listening to your video. I have been going NUTS trying to import from the SD card to PC Windows 10. Now I understand, BIG thanks. However, I do not want to use the Windows Photo app to edit or store my photos. If I install another simple photo editor, will it bypass the Windows app, or should I delete the Windows Photo app first. Thanks so much.
First, thanks for your very nice comment about your listening experience. I appreciate that. As for Windows Photo app, you would need to use the PowerShell to remove the photo app. Instead, I would recommend that you just change the default app for Photos. Simply search Default Apps and then click on Photo. A least of other apps will appear and you choose the one you want. (Naturally, this would be after you install the app you want to use if it's not on your machine already.) Any questions, feel free to get back to me. ~John
Finally a video that I can clearly understand in English!!! thank you very much for making this video. But I know this will sound sort of stupid, but my laptop does not have a port where I can insert the sd card. Is there another thing that I need to get? If you can answer this question I would greatly appreciated!!!
Hi, Rosa! Thanks for your kind words. Yes, when your laptop doesn't have an SD card reader, you can plug in a hub with one. Your laptop will have USB ports and, if it's a new laptop, it probably has a USB-C port. You can get hubs for either of those types of ports. Here's an example: amzn.to/3vWmxCU. Hope this helps. ~John

Hi this a great video. I changed the auto play setting but still does not work. When I insert my sd card my computer does nothing.

As much as I love computers, they can be frustrating, can't they? Grrrr Sometimes, there are conflicts between the card and the computer.

Hi 4KCC I found this very interesting and will take note and try, on my windows 7, I had an import program of which I have now lost on windows 10 from recent updates, now I have lost my original import camera import, it was so simple, but I have no idea what it was for it being such a long time in the past, a camera picture came upon the bottom, clicking this opened a panel on the top of the screen which said import photos and videos, also a panel on the bottom right came up were I could type in the days shoot, loading up my photos in Elements folder, Have you heard of this program. these updates from Microsoft keep changing My youtube, this tutorial of yours will it put my photos by date, etc to my ongoing file system, all I get when I click on my Canon camera they don't go to the bottom of my present list, I apologize for all my writings, it's just so annoying loosing my original program, I did enjoy your tutorial and will try it out. Many Thanks, welshman 2081
Yes, I understand completely the frustration of losing a program that worked the way you wanted it. Unfortunately, this happens often in the computing world. Sometimes, though, the changes happen for security reasons. Many program which relied on Adobe Flash have disappeared as Adobe Flash itself will at the end of the year. The best I can say is keeping moving forward. I'm confident you'll find a way to make it work in a way you are comfortable. Thanks so much for your comment, by the way. ~John
Fine.... But it is not possible to import to folder based on date- month and year . This ceased to exist thanks to the latest update. I thougt updating should make things work better ???
Tore...It is true that, sometimes, updates take away features that we like and that's a real pain for us. Usually, software companies, like Microsoft, take away features for one of two reasons: a) there's a security risk that's been uncovered; b) research shows that the feature is being used by few people. As for importing based on date-month-year, I haven't tried it recently but now that you have mentioned it, I will try it this week & see if there's an option. ~John
@@4Keystone Have you found any solutions yet? I import pics from my SD card about once per month, and all the pics get imported as individual files, and not put into days that I take them on. I have hundreds of them, and it is very difficult to go through all of that and do it manually.
Help!!! I’m back again. :( In Windows 7 I could do the following: (1) insert my sd card (2) choose to use either autoplay or to view in windows. (3) if I choose autoplay windows would then ask me what I wanted to name the file to which it would download the file. If I did not input a name, it defaulted to the date. (4) I could then go to my picture folder and find the newly created file and view all of the sd pictures in that one file. Why can I not do the same in windows 11? Maybe I can and I simply do not know how to do it properly. There has to be a better way than what I am having to do today which is: (1) set windows to automatically autoplay. (2) this then loads each of the individual pictures from my sd card into my picture folder. (3) then I create a new file folder within my picture folder. (4) then I drag all of my individual pictures into my newly created/named picture folder file. (5) now I can go to this single picture folder and view all of the sd pictures in one file folder. I could easily do all of the above in Windows 7 by simply: choosing autoplay…..and Windows 7 would automatically load all of the pictures into a “single” picture folder (using either the name that I assigned it or the present day’s date) Basically I am trying to figure out how to have windows11 automatically load all the pictures from my sd card into a “single” file under my picture folder. Help!!!!!!
Jerry...I understand your pain! This is just a quick response to tell you I'll give you a full reply within 48 hours. We had a death in the family last week and that has put me a bit behind on fully answering comments/questions. Thanks for your patience. ~John
@@4Keystone John, I am so sorry to hear of the death in your family. Your family is much, much more important than my issue. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Thank you I have so much problem as My SDHC card will not bring up my photo program , unless I restart my machine a few times, nor D L from my camera, it drives me nuts, once it decide to work there is no problems , I can save to folder or email picture, just getting it to DL from the card or camera has always been the problem,
This is an excellent video. My computer used to do all this but for some reason has stopped doing so. It now continues to search and that is all. How can I get it to give me a choice to download to my pictures folder as it used to.
@@4Keystone I have tried that to no avail, it seems there are lots of people with the same problem, google is littered with people trying to find an answer. Thank you for trying.
An error message comes up I've scanned for errors as prompted and no error is found but it still says error when I try again to import! Help me! Please.
Have you tried the SD card in another computer? In the computer you are using, does the SD card plug in directly to a port on the computer or are you using an adapter? ~John
Jack...I'm sorry for the late reply. Are you still having the issue? If so, can you give me the info from the SD card? (The numbers on the card itself.) Thanks. ~John
My SanDisk SD Card isn't anywhere to be found. it isn't in the Windows Explorer. It's as if it doesn't exist at all. I've searched for the past 6 hours and I can't find it. All my photos are on it!
I've recently had an issue once my pictures are uploaded.. they used to all go into a folder in my pictures "tab" (I know thats not the right name for it) . (usually named the date I uploaded) now the individual pictures all go into the pictures tab itself. is there any solution to this?
The last time I inserted my SD card and photos opened up I noticed that import settings is no longer in the top right corner. UI also notice that my files are dumped into the pictures folder. Is there something wrong with my system or is this just another example of a Microsoft downgrade claiming to be an upgrade?
I haven't personally tried that but I suppose it would depend on the capabilities of the TV. Is there an option to insert an SD card and then is there an option to select the card? ~John
Brad...If you mean am I using a desktop or a laptop, it doesn't matter as long as the computer has an SD card reader and is running Windows 10. If you meant something else, let me know and I'll try to address your revised question. ~John
I don't have any machines still running Win 7 but I'll be happy to set up a virtual machine and see what I can do for you. It will be next year (2022)! ~John
I have Windows 11 instead of windows 10. I followed the instructions for autoplay and saved the setting; however, when I re-insert the sd card, nothing happens….it does not automatically display the photos and ask the loading questions as defined in the video.
Got that figured out but wish I were still on Windows 7. Much easier for an old guy. Now I am trying to figure out how to give all of the pictures on an sd card the same name . Windows 7 would ask me before it started autoplay, then it would load then into my picture folder under that folder name. Oops…I see, on a Microsoft forum, that another guy has the same problem. Apparently, viewing all the responses, my only option is to manually rename every picture on the sd card, and then drag them all into a new folder under my picture folder…..assuming that I can still create additional folders.
Hi, Jerry! I'm glad you figured out how to make it work. As for renaming pictures, you could wait until you put them all into a new folder under your pictures and then rename rather than do that on the SD card. I do it that way because I always erase the pictures from the SD card after I've moved them to the computer. Plus, once they are often moved, I often find pictures that need deleted. I do that before renaming thus, hopefully, saving myself some work. Just an idea! ~John
@@4Keystone Thank you for your response. Actually I tried what you are suggesting but I am having a problem creating a new folder under my picture folder. It was very simple in Windows 7, but Windows 11 is difficult for me. I’ll try again. By the way, in Windows 7, I could create the new folder and simply “drag” the pictures to the new folder. I can’t figure out how to “drag and drop” on Windows 11. :( Thanks again, very much, for your assistance. I’m afraid that at 78, my ability to “learn” quickly is failing me. Lol I never try to rename files on my sd card. Even though Windows 7 did have a function that allowed one to delete the sd card pictures, I never used it because it was so slow. I found that once I had saved the pictures on my laptop, it was much quicker just to format the card.
@@jerrywhite506 Have no fear, Jerry, I'm here to help. When you right-click on the Pictures folder in Windows 11, you get a slightly different menu than what was in Windows 7 & 10. However, if you click at the bottom of the menu where it says "Show more options" you'll get the Windows 10 right-click menu which includes "New" and you create a new folder just like you did before. As for dragging and dropping, that isn't any different in Windows 11. Just left-click and hold on to whatever you want to move, hold down the left button, and drag it. Let me know if you have any other issues. ~John
@@4Keystone Thanks John….but I have a pad and not a mouse. :) Luckily I checked CZcams and learned how to do right click on a pad. I greatly appreciate your help!
didnt work i put in the sd card in my laptop and it didnt do anything, i dont see anything in this pc i see just all the regular stuff that used to be there
Hi, Debbie! Can you let me know which version of Windows 10 you have? I'm happy to help you but I need a little more info. (Need to find the version? Right-click on the Start Menu and choose RUN. Type "winver" (without the quotes) and then click OK. In the window that pops up, you should see the version. (Please forgive me if you already know how to find the version. Since I don't know you personally, I have no idea of your level of computer knowledge.) ~John
Are you using Windows 10? If so, search "Autoplay" - without the quotations marks - and autoplay settings should come up at the top of the search results. ~John
Actually, I'll be creating a new video in the next week showing how to import photos from an SD card to Windows 11. Yes, it's a little different. ~John

As for renaming pictures, you could wait until you put them all into a new folder under your pictures and then rename rather than do that on the SD card. I do it that way because I always erase the pictures from the SD card after I've moved them to the computer. Plus, once they are often moved, I often find pictures that need deleted. I do that before renaming thus, hopefully, saving myself some work. Just an idea! ~John
@@4Keystone Thank you for your response. Actually I tried what you are suggesting but I am having a problem creating a new folder under my picture folder. It was very simple in Windows 7, but Windows 11 is difficult for me. I’ll try again. By the way, in Windows 7, I could create the new folder and simply “drag” the pictures to the new folder. I can’t figure out how to “drag and drop” on Windows 11. :(
Thanks again, very much, for your assistance. I’m afraid that at 78, my ability to “learn” quickly is failing me. Lol
I never try to rename files on my sd card. Even though Windows 7 did have a function that allowed one to delete the sd card pictures, I never used it because it was so slow. I found that once I had saved the pictures on my laptop, it was much quicker just to format the card.
@@jerrywhite506 Have no fear, Jerry, I'm here to help. When you right-click on the Pictures folder in Windows 11, you get a slightly different menu than what was in Windows 7 & 10. However, if you click at the bottom of the menu where it says "Show more options" you'll get the Windows 10 right-click menu which includes "New" and you create a new folder just like you did before. As for dragging and dropping, that isn't any different in Windows 11. Just left-click and hold on to whatever you want to move, hold down the left button, and drag it.
Let me know if you have any other issues. ~John
@@4Keystone Thanks John….but I have a pad and not a mouse. :) Luckily I checked CZcams and learned how to do right click on a pad. I greatly appreciate your help!
didnt work
i put in the sd card in my laptop and it didnt do anything, i dont see anything in this pc i see just all the regular stuff that used to be there
Did you try more than one SD card? ~John
I have Windows 10. I have none of the screens you show. I have screens that are kind of like that, but they don't take me to those places/choices.
Hi, Debbie! Can you let me know which version of Windows 10 you have? I'm happy to help you but I need a little more info. (Need to find the version? Right-click on the Start Menu and choose RUN. Type "winver" (without the quotes) and then click OK. In the window that pops up, you should see the version. (Please forgive me if you already know how to find the version. Since I don't know you personally, I have no idea of your level of computer knowledge.) ~John
what if i dont have in autoplay?
Are you using Windows 10? If so, search "Autoplay" - without the quotations marks - and autoplay settings should come up at the top of the search results. ~John
These options are not working for me in Windows 11 i HATE IT. How can we fix this
Actually, I'll be creating a new video in the next week showing how to import photos from an SD card to Windows 11. Yes, it's a little different. ~John
how sir this do please tell sir
I'm not sure I understand your question. If you care to explain further, I'll try to answer. Thanks. ~ John

Hi! Can you tell me what happens, if anything? Error message? No pop-up? Thanks. ~John

Well, that's not good! If you want to email me at: tech@4kcc.com and give me some information such as what computer you're using, etc., I will try to help you resolve this issue! ~ John

Yes, amazingly, you're the first person to mention that after 52K views. I was aware of the slip-up but didn't want to remake the video. I figured most people would understand and, apparently, they have. ~John
Way over my head ,now i am confused.
Sorry to hear that. But, that's the beauty of a video here - you can replay, stop, study and replay again as often as you like. If you have a specific question, feel free to comment here and ask. I'll do my best to "unconfuse" you! ~John
Thanks!!
Welcome! ~John
