[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1640518, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Bob[/B] - I've had over a half dozen digital cameras and all had standard size SD cards - all of my laptops had/have SD card slots - I have never used the software that came w/ these various brand cameras and have never attached a camera to my laptop via a cable. My preference is to simply remove the camera's SD card, stick it into the laptop's card slot, and then transfer the images to my pictures folder in Finder - these can be easily put into other folders - see a screen capture below of a portion of my 'Pictures' folder. And I would strongly encourage you not to delete the images from your SD card(s) (bring along ones of high capacity or several - just a means of having a backup). Since you are not planning to edit these images on your laptop, then the Pictures folder is a quick and useful location; of course, you could do the same w/ the SD card(s) once home on your iMac if you still have all of them on the camera's card(s). BUT, if you want to transfer them from your laptop to the iMac, then just a few suggestions: 1) Use your home network if 'file sharing' is setup; 2) Use AirDrop if it is working between your computers; 3) Use another cloud service, whether Apple or something like Dropbox; 4) Use a USB flash drive; or 5) Use an external HD.
