how do i use my sony memory stick duo adapter?
I got a new digital camera - a Sony cybershot - for Christmas. I assumed the memory stick duo adapter was to fit the memory stick into a USB port, but the adapter is also too wide for my USB ports. Is it instead for using in a photo printer? How do I use said adapter?
Adapters are used to connect memory sticks/cards for other applications such as USB memory stick/card readers. The following information describes the use of adapters to move/copy photos to and from a computer.
Just received some pictures in an e-mail which I moved to the computer. Then moved these pictures to a memory card and could view them on my camera or show on TV.
If your computer has memory card slots, find the correct slot and copy pictures from the memory card to the computer.
If there are no memory card slots on your computer, purchase a Targus card reader at Walmart for $8.88 or another brand for less at Ritz/Wolf/Kit camera. Also, they do 4 x 6 digital prints for 5ยข each on Tuesday and Wednesday.
CAUTION To prevent memory card corruption, keep batteries charged and don't delete photos. Wait for lights to stop flashing then turn camera off before removing memory. For card readers, double click Safely Remove Hardware. Then click Stop, and OK.
After you have the memory card plugged in, go to My Computer and open the memory card, select the picture you want to copy, and then copy to the My Pictures folder under My Documents under Documents and Settings. You may only be able to copy one picture at a time.
If you have trouble with this, it may be easier to right click on Start and then left click Explore. Find and select the pictures you want to copy and then at top left click the X next to Folders to see a place to select Copy Files. Now select the My Picture folder and make and select a sub folder then click Copy. You can select pictures easier with this method.

You can also copy from the computer to an SD card.
Have just been playing with this and found that it works really well, but you should first format the SD card in the camera because it adds some files to the card that you will need.
Next, take a picture of something with the camera.
Place the SD card in the card reader and go to My Computer.
Open the SD card and you should see a folder on the left that has your picture.
Double Click on that folder and you should see another folder which includes the name of your camera. Double Click on that folder and you should see the picture you just took.
When you copy from the computer to the SD card, that is the folder where your pictures must be copied. You may only be able to copy one picture at a time from My Computer.
One last thing, the file names of your pictures must not have any additional letters or those pictures will not be seen by the camera. Also, the file name format must match the file name of the picture you took e.g., HPIM1903. Rename photos to look like your camera files.
If you have trouble with this, it may be easier to right click on Start and then left click Explore. Find and select the pictures you want to copy and then the near top left click the X next to Folders to see a place to choose Copy files. You can then select the SD card folder that you clicked to see the picture you took and click Copy. You can copy pictures easier with this method.
