So I just bought the bundle with the NN3ds and I can't get my pictures off other than using the image share which I can only get them off 1 at a time. Is there anyway to dump all the photos to my computer at once? I also tried to set up the wireless link for the micro SD managment but it shows no pictures in the folder :( I don't see why they made it this hard when it used to be so easy!

You can turn off your console and remove the SD card, then insert the SD card into your computer and remove them safely that way. I had to buy an adapter for this at best buy because my computer didn't have a SD card port. The adapter was $12

Do I have to unscrew the back to get to it? The old 3ds I could just pop the sd card out, this one isn't anywhere easy to access :(

Oh, i'm not sure how the SD cards are on new 3ds... sorry I thought it was still as easy as popping the side open.
 
I'd try to make the wireless thing work if you can. That's what I've been using and it works great for me at least. There must be some support articles for it on Nintendo's site if you want to check for that? Otherwise, you're gonna have to just unscrew the back aside from Miiverse/Image Share.
 
And yes, you have to unscrew the back of the system. Although, it is a micro SD and I have no idea how those relate to the regular SDs. Good luck
 
There is a Micro SD manager in the settings that allows your N3DS to connect to the internet, via the network, and there you can go through your files via a computer.
 
It's a bit more difficult than before, but just go to System Settings, Data Management, SD Card Management and the console should guide you through the rest of the process :)
 
Also, make sure your network sharing is turned on on your computer. If it's not, your 3DS won't show up on your computer. =)

Thanks everyone! I ended up getting it to work :) I guess I have to refresh the files sometimes for it to show up and I didn't have my network sharing on at first ;D
 
Yeah for my n3DS I just have it connected to my network so when I turn it on, I can just pull off the pictures via my PC. I highly recommend setting that up because it will make your life easier when it comes to organizing your pictures on your 3DS and taking them off to share them online via PC.

You can use Imgur- this post tells you how, http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/67262544. It's nifty :D
