Open a command window at the source folder
try a DOS command like this,
long line may wrap
replace the [usb*] with the spec for your system,, filespec can be anything, *.jpg *.raw that your camera requires

for %f in (*.*) do if not exist [usbdrive]:\[usbfolder]\%f copy %f [usbdrive]:\[usbfolder]

or you can make a batch file to do the same thing as this is likely to be a repeated task

@echo off
cls
echo Copying New Files
for %%f in (*.*) do if not exist [usbdrive]:\[usbfolder]\%%f copy %%f [usbdrive]:\[usbfolder]
echo New files Copied

    better batch file takes source & destination as arguments for multiple uses



    @echo off
    cls
    If not exist %1 goto error

    if not exist %2 goto error

    echo Copying New Files from %1 to %2
    cd %1

    for %%f in (*.*) do if not exist %1\%%f copy %%f %2

    echo New files Copied
    goto done

    :error

    echo Copy batch file requires two parameters

    echo %0 [source] [destination]

    :done





    I had nothing else to do

    Thought everyone has played with command prompts at some stage

    the command prompt is available from the right click menu in windows at most folders

    its a black boring window like the screen on a 1980s pc

    and you can use it as one

    if your USB pictures are in G:\PICTURES



    for %f in (*.*) do if not exist g:\pictures\%f copy %f g:\pictures



    will look at each file in the folder you start in one at a time, compare it with the folder you are aiming for, and only copy the file if it does not already exist.

How do i download photos onto a usb

Not sure what the problem is here, but if the laptop recognises the USB drive and it is formatted as a FAT device, you should see the device icon in "My computer". If you are downloading from your hard drive to the device, simply highlighting all the files by SHIFT and RIGHT mouseclick and dragging them onto the device will copy them.
If downloading from the internet, right mouse click and save target or picture as and point to the USB device as the place to save to

How do I download all my stuff from my current computer to a new computer?

You can easily and safely use a USB pen drive with a large capacity to transfer all the files one by one , folder by folder with special markings to note the copy into the respective drives. You can also segregate the new drives to your need with personal files, general files and public files. Also picture and video downloads also can be listed and saved.Connect the USB to the old PC and transfer by copy or cut , then connect the usb after safe removal to the new PC and pasting to the new location.

Hi, i am trying to upload the picture on my camera (finepix S5700) unto my computer but it is not working, do i need to download the software first or what should i do.

Downloading the software shouldn't be necessary to download the pictures to your computer Hard Drive. Depending on your computer operating system be it PC or Mac it should handle your download as if it was an external hard drive or device. Saying this there are still a lot of "old" Windows program still in operation but if you have Windows XP home edition or newer then no problem. Mac's have a mind of their own and will look at the link as an external Hard Drive.
Maybe what the problem is the sequence in which you are attempting to download. Fist make sure the camera has sufficient power for the transfer of data, then turn it off connect the mini USB cable to the camera and the USB cable end to a computer USB port (nothing will happen at this point.) What I then do is make a folder in My Documents or (Finder) if you are a Mac, and title it with something that relates to the images which will be inside I generally use a month, day and date. At the end of the year (coming soon) I'll make a folder with the year and all the 2010 Months folders will be placed in there. Okay once you have a place to put the picture files turn on the camera in a few seconds the PC may say found a new device and then may put the external device icon on the desk top if not you need to go fetch it from system preferences. Open the file highlight the files and copy them click on the new folder you just made and past them in there. Check see if the picture files are there and then eject the external device/hard drive remember to turn off the device before shutting off the camera and disconnecting the USB cable. If it's a Mac once you turn your camera on the external Hard Drive Icon will appear on the desk top follow the same thing as with the PC. Then once you have "ejected the Hard Drive and the icon has closed shut the camera off and remove the USB cable. Wait you aren't done yet, now you need to format your memory card. Formatting the Memory card cleans the card of the old pictures and provides and clean medium to load new picture files to. Have fun Robert from Canada

Having downloaded the file you'd need to extract the files from inside the archive to a folder and then point windows at the folder with the extracted files in it.

You can download software from the link below to do the extraction:
http://www.win-rar.com/download.html

Once installed just double click the .RAR file and drag the files within out to a new folder. Follow the instructions above pointing windows to look for files in your new folder.

You have to specify the path to download the pictures.
Make a folder on your new disk then select that folder like default to download all your pics.

If you want only to pass all your old pic to a new disk, simply select the folder, >> then (right click) select COPY >> then Open the folder (already created) in your new hard drive and with a mouse cursor inside the folder (right click) and hit PASTE ---------All your files will start to copying
