I have no short cut icon to use all my Kodak easyshare pictures stored on my hard drive

It may be time to buy a card reader for your computer. You can get one at a department or electronics store for not much more than a cup of coffee.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

use a card reader & put in the SD card,then copy from there in My Computer or if window pops up choose there.

sheri359,



If you are using Kodaks easyshare program then you can simply "drag & drop" the pictures onto your flash drive. You can also trying looking on your "C: drive" (hard drive) for your pictures. Normally Kodak Easyshare stores pictures at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Shared Pictures\Kodak Pictures. Once you find your pictures all you need to do is select all the pictures you want to copy and paste them into your flash drive.

If the pictures are on your camera then connect your camera to the computer and then click on "My Computer" on your desktop or under the start menu (if you are using Windows). Then if a few seconds you should see a drive pop up that will say "Kodak*****", proceed to double click on that and keep clicking into the folders until you see your pictures. Once you see your pictures copy all of them. Once copied open up "My Computer" again and select your flash drive. Once inside your flash drive then right click in the window and select "paste". Your pictures should start copying over to your flash drive. Once the copying it complete you are the safe to remove your flash drive.

Note: I am assuming that you are using a Microsoft Windows operating system. If you are using MAC OS X then it is slightly different but similar.
I hope this helps! Good luck!

When you plug-in the camera, the missing icon may be in the [My Computer] list.
Open [My Computer]
The memory card in the camera may be listed as
"Removeable Drive" - Probably "Drive E:"

Did you move the pics to another location on hard drive? The Easy Share program is just tool to view the pics that are stored on the hard drive. It uses "Albums" to view these pics. The Album is still there but it sounds like the pictures got moved.

Copying pictures from EasyShare software:

1. Install EasyShare software (free download at www.kodak.com/go/sw)

2. Connect the USB cable.

3. On your computer, open EasyShare software. Select the pictures in My Collection and drag them into the Picture tray.

4. In the menu bar, select File and then Copy to the Kodak Drive letter.

The picture frame appears as removable drives—one drive for each connected picture source in the frame, in this order: internal memory, memory cards, and USB devices.

5. Select the frame source to which you are copying.

6. Select Best for Digital Picture Frame to reduce the resolution of the pictures you are copying. Full resolution is unnecessary and quickly fills up the frame's memory.

7. Click Copy. Pictures are copied to your frame.

8. Unplug the USB cable and on the frame check the pictures that were just copied.

Greetings,

This issue sounds more like a software concern. If you are working with EasyShare, please know that the images are not being stored in EasyShare itself. Rather, the images stay in their current location on your hard drive. If you remove them then EasyShare will not know what happened to them and will place a strike across that image.

There are a lot of programs that use this kind of reference. EasyShare creates a log file that is stored on your system so it can be called up when needed. You can store images on a CD or DVD then use them when needed. But, to have them in the main collection, the images need to be on your hard drive.

Talk to you soon,

Though I'm not sure how to solve this problem, I don't recommend using the program for downloading pictures at all, it's unecessary and slower. Without it, you can treat your camera the same as any other USB drive - open the camera drive as you do any other folder, and drag/drop or copy/paste picture files off of it.
