Any simple way to import pictures to pc? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I connect the device to my computer and then right click on the device and select to import pictures, it starts looking for literally everything. Thumbnails, cache files, etc. Or I have to manually go in and copy pictures from the camera folder and others like whatsapp folder.
Previously I used an iPhone for a while and on that if u right clicked and pressed import, it would only import pictures, not cache files and thumbnails.
Is there any software that people are using that recognizes new pictures and imports only those?

Have you had a look at sony pc companion.
If this doesnt do your job then you will have to manualy find the folders
Its not too hard, usualy its the name of the app or its in images or photos or pictures

Select the DCIM folder on your device, and hopefully right clicking on that should import your pictures (can't be 100‰ certain as I don't use windoze)

Thanks guys. The pc companion program has an app in it called media go which did the job.

Otherwise you can use AIRDROID from the market. It's fast (connection speed depended, of course), reliable and cable free.

Pictures – Music – Sync Kies ???

Hi All,
I have a few questions about pictures and music
Pictures
I use Kies and have selected some pictures to sync to my device from the PC. Nice and easy it upload the pictures stored on the computer.
However when viewing on the handheld the pictures are not in the folders that where on my PC. They are all together or separated by date. Is there a way that I can keep all the pictures in the separate folders just like on my PC. For example Xmas 2009 – Peters Birthday 2010 which contain the relevant pictures?
If I then change my mind and I don’t want those pictures on my device I could remove via Kies. I selected the folders on the Kies menu and removed the check box. Let the computer sync but found that the pictures where still on my device. Does Kies not work like this? In the end I had to go onto my phone via the PC sync cable and manually remove the pictures.
I take pictures with my phone all the time and like to locally store a copy. I used the Kies export method but that removes all the pictures you but on the phone from the PC as well!!!!
Is there a way to export the pictures from your device that are not on your computer already?
Google + / Picaso
Is it possible to also store a local copy of pictures taken to the external SD card and upload to google +?
Music
This one is a bit of a mind blower for me.
So I sync music via Kies onto my phone which is set up to store to the external memory first. The songs find their way onto the SD card but not in the album folders! And the phone does not see the music folders on the SD card.
So what I have to do it manually drag and drop the folders / Albums onto the internal memory of the phone and all is fine.
Do I have something set up wrong?
Thanks
Mat
Something else to add to my list of questions in my contacts each contact has a face picture (which I know you can customise). However they are all different colours is there any reason for this?

[Q] Saving Contact info

On every "page" of my CONTACTS list, I have not only Contacts name, but their phone numbers, e-mail addresses, home addresses AND their photos.
How can I save ALL this info to my computer? I may need this info if my phone gets totally formatted again.
I used to use KIES to connect my pone to my home computer. But since I an now using Windows 8, it only enables me to see pictures, media only, not my phone or external CD card. To do this I now use the built-in USB Storage function to connect and see both phone AND SD card's folder (which I can then save to my computer's hard disk).
Which folder contains ALL the info of my contacts AND their photo link?

Export to sdcard. This will create a svc or cvs, something like that, file. That's enough i think

[Q] HTC Sync Manager - proper way to import photos into HTC gallery

I have several folders with photos from previous cell phones. (not in iPhoto, iTunes).
I have installed the Sync Manager on the MacBook Pro and it is working fine. Questions I have:
1. What is the right way to import those folders of photos into the Gallery using Sync Manager?
2. when I was experimenting, I also "transferred" those folders as "Files" to the HTC One. But now I can not find it? Where does Sync Manager store transferred files?
Thanks!
I have then read the manual for the Sync Manager.
According to that, you have to drag your folder into the Sync Manager for it to 'become its library". Then I synced to the phone.
HOWEVER, when I open the Gallery on the phone, the photos ARE NOT organized by the folder. They are grouped randomly and all over the place. The only thing that seemed still in the same group was an import from iPhoto album.
Any one else tried to import a picture folder to the one?

Hi there, noob posting.
I had the same issue with importing photos from Iphtoto to HTC one... Instead of maintaining the folders I had in iphoto, it randomly assigned them to 1photo/album on my phone.
Any ideas how to delete the now ~4200 "albums" on my phone other than one at a time through the phone?
HTC sync manager says I dont have any pics on there at all. So I dont seem to be able to delete from my mac end
Cheers

Could it be trying to automatically sort them by "Event" (by time or location(within 3km)). I think this is how it auto-magically makes the videos that you can HTC Share. I was reading one review of The One, and HTC told him that he can create separate folders under Events to create separate mini-movies.
Just a guess. . . .

Help importing photos into Lightroom

I have the AT&T HTC One and I'm trying to import my photos and videos into Lightroom. I have Lightroom on my PC (Windows 8) and on my Mac (Mountain Lion). If I plug my photo into my PC, Lightroom sees all of the photos, but it also sees all of the artwork, widget png's, and every other image on the phone so it's very tedious having to deselect hundreds of photos that I don't want to import.
On my Mac, when I plug in the phone, it does not show up in Lightroom's import dialog. I do see the entire phone contents in Finder, but it doesn't have a source listed in Lightroom. Also, an app called "HTC Sync Manager" pops up on both computers. I assume this is some HTC software, but I don't know if I need it or not, or if it will help? I don't really want to have to copy the photos to the computer first and then import again through Lightroom.
On my previous phones (and on the iPhone), I just plug the phone in and it shows just my photos from the camera roll or photo gallery, which is what I want.
Can anyone help? This is my first HTC phone, so I'm not sure how to properly import photos and videos into Lightroom. Thanks!

[Q] New google photo

I can't get my head around the new google photo.
I have always used quickpic so I have always organized pic locally by folder.
In google photo I can choose which folder to sync but in the app pics are organized by date, no way to organise them by folder.
If I delete a pic from the google photo app, it is also deleted from the synced local folder (I check with solid explorer), but if I delete a pic from the synced local folder (with solid explorer) it is not delete from the google photo app. I understand this pic (the one I deleted from local folder) is still stored only online, so if I am not online (on the plane, for example) can I view this photo? I'd say no, since it is online only.
If it is so, when I open the google photo app, how do I know which pics are also phisically present on which synced local folders?
If instead of deleting the pic from the synced local folder I move them to a non synced local folder, does it mean I will have a copy online and a copy offline not in sync?
Thanks

If you organize by "album", it pretty much puts in in standard view like the gallery where they are grouped by location (DCIM, Download, etc)
If I delete a pic from the google photo app, it is also deleted from the synced local folder (I check with solid explorer), but if I delete a pic from the synced local folder (with solid explorer) it is not delete from the google photo app. I understand this pic (the one I deleted from local folder) is still stored only online, so if I am not online (on the plane, for example) can I view this photo?

You may be able to if it is cached on the device. That one I'm not to sure about that one.

Try testing by viewing a photo and seeing if you can download it. If you can, then it probably isn't on the phone, or at least not in the original backup location
If instead of deleting the pic from the synced local folder I move them to a non synced local folder, does it mean I will have a copy online and a copy offline not in sync?
Good Question! If you get a result from experimentation, please post it. I'm curuios to know.
Thanks

Also, does anyone know how the 'unlimited storage" thing will work with photos already backed up? It still shows my library as taking up 10 GB on drive when they were backed up to G+. They are definitely all 16 MP or less, so do I have to do anything to change this over to the "new" setting? Or will it automatically apply after Google works the kinks out?
