So my code currently looks like this, as I took the sample code from Adafruit and made minor modifications.
I'm currently trying to get it to work with the Arduino GSM shield, but it doesn't seem to be letting me import both the Adafruit and the GSM libraries.
// This is a motion-detect camera sketch using the Adafruit VC0706 library.
// On start, the Arduino will find the camera and SD card and turn
// on motion detection. If motion is detected, the camera will
// snap a photo, saving it to the SD card.
// Public domain.
// If using an Arduino Mega (1280, 2560 or ADK) in conjunction
// with an SD card shield designed for conventional Arduinos
// (Uno, etc.), it's necessary to edit the library file:
// libraries/SD/utility/Sd2Card.h
// Look for this line:
// #define MEGA_SOFT_SPI 0
// change to:
// #define MEGA_SOFT_SPI 1
// This is NOT required if using an SD card breakout interfaced
// directly to the SPI bus of the Mega (pins 50-53), or if using
// a non-Mega, Uno-style board.
#include <Adafruit_VC0706.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <GSM.h>
// comment out this line if using Arduino V23 or earlier
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
// uncomment this line if using Arduino V23 or earlier
// #include <NewSoftSerial.h>
// SD card chip select line varies among boards/shields:
// Adafruit SD shields and modules: pin 10
// Arduino Ethernet shield: pin 4
// Sparkfun SD shield: pin 8
// Arduino Mega w/hardware SPI: pin 53
// Teensy 2.0: pin 0
// Teensy++ 2.0: pin 20
#define chipSelect 10
// Pins for camera connection are configurable.
// With the Arduino Uno, etc., most pins can be used, except for
// those already in use for the SD card (10 through 13 plus
// chipSelect, if other than pin 10).
// With the Arduino Mega, the choices are a bit more involved:
// 1) You can still use SoftwareSerial and connect the camera to
// a variety of pins...BUT the selection is limited. The TX
// pin from the camera (RX on the Arduino, and the first
// argument to SoftwareSerial()) MUST be one of: 62, 63, 64,
// 65, 66, 67, 68, or 69. If MEGA_SOFT_SPI is set (and using
// a conventional Arduino SD shield), pins 50, 51, 52 and 53
// are also available. The RX pin from the camera (TX on
// Arduino, second argument to SoftwareSerial()) can be any
// pin, again excepting those used by the SD card.
// 2) You can use any of the additional three hardware UARTs on
// the Mega board (labeled as RX1/TX1, RX2/TX2, RX3,TX3),
// but must specifically use the two pins defined by that
// UART; they are not configurable. In this case, pass the
// desired Serial object (rather than a SoftwareSerial
// object) to the Adafruit_VC0706 constructor.
// Using SoftwareSerial (Arduino 1.0+) or NewSoftSerial (Arduino 0023 & prior):
#if ARDUINO >= 100
// On Uno: camera TX connected to pin 2, camera RX to pin 3:
SoftwareSerial cameraconnection = SoftwareSerial(4, 5);
// On Mega: camera TX connected to pin 69 (A15), camera RX to pin 3:
//SoftwareSerial cameraconnection = SoftwareSerial(69, 3);
#else
NewSoftSerial cameraconnection = NewSoftSerial(4, 5);
#endif
Adafruit_VC0706 cam = Adafruit_VC0706(&cameraconnection);
// Using hardware serial on Mega: camera TX conn. to RX1,
// camera RX to TX1, no SoftwareSerial object is required:
//Adafruit_VC0706 cam = Adafruit_VC0706(&Serial1);
void setup() {

char filename[13];

}

uint16_t jpglen = cam.frameLength();
Serial.print(jpglen, DEC);

Serial.print("Writing image to ");
Serial.print(filename);
while (jpglen > 0) {
// read 32 bytes at a time;
uint8_t *buffer;
uint8_t bytesToRead = min(32, jpglen); // change 32 to 64 for a speedup but may not work with all setups!
buffer = cam.readPicture(bytesToRead);
imgFile.write(buffer, bytesToRead);

And it gives me these error messages:

I'm not sure what they mean or how I can fix it, but I do know that the program runs perfectly fine until I add the line
"#include <GSM.h>"
but I need to have that library as well. I feel like there's something conflicting, but I'm not sure what and I don't know how to fix it.
Thanks again in advance.
