HELP ! Cannot copy and paste more than 2 photos at a time to my PC

mathisfield · 21 Jun 2013

Hello !

I have 120 photos on an SD class 10 card, photos taken with an SX10, and only 10 photos on the initial copy and paste transferred from the camera to my Windows 7 PC.

After that, I can only do two at a time. I pulled the SD card and placed it into another camera (Canon 780IS), and same issue.

This has not happened before and I wanted to ask the audience. Both camera appear to have good battery charges and are working fine.

All photos transferred successfully to my MacBook, but that is besides the point. I would like to get them onto my PC

Thank You !

Always same 2 fail?

If you right click or see the option to select all then copy and paste them or drag them from one to the other.

Well, "cannot copy and paste/drag and drop all photos on SD card" all the time. Partial, yes random.

No error, just stops the process of copying photos and nothing else.

Go into My Computer/ pictures and put mouse on one picture, should highlight the picture then hit shift key and use arrows to gather all picture to drag to SD card or send to the slot where your card is.
