Can't take a still shot with flash.

You are not doing anything wrong. For some reason, Aiptek doesn't give you this option on the camera. You have to insert you SD card into a reader and delete it that way. Ya, I know, doesn't make sense. Also, a feature I hate is it does place your videos into one continuous file. Only video clips, so each time you stop then start recording, it creates a new file. Anyway, I've had my Aiptek since 10/2008 and no problems so far. Great indoor videos. Not too crazy about the still pictures though.

digital zoom is different from optical zoom. when using digital zoom, you have to keep the camera very, very, very still. may even have to use a tripod.

it use to on and off

what version of Player use the 11 and make sure the music is not right protected from the optins in media player chack for required plugins as well

Shouldn't you have investigated the file transfer abilities of the equipment before you purchased the camcorder ?

I am not a Mac expert, but usually the software that comes with electronic devices is designed to be Windows compatible.

This may be due to the fact that the Aiptek A-HD records to a quicktime format. There is a copy of quicktime in the disk that came with the camcorder. Now I don't know if this is quicktime Pro or not (I work on a mac, so quicktime is already installed, but the comps at my school are vista based) but if you don't have quicktime pro (you can check by right clicking on a video in quictime and if some of the options are unusable because they say "pro" next to them, you don't have quicktime PRO. It's $20 for quicktime pro, and it's very well worth the money. You can change format without losing quality, and so much more! Also WMM is not very HD compatible, you should put it in DVD format :) Hope this helped- (youtube user) animation508

Do what I do- take out the SD card and transfer files directly to the computer without the camera.

the light is a flash and not meant for constant lighting. night shot is an inhanced mode for low light condition and has nothing to do with the flash

I think I may have a soltion. But what I need to know, is if you're plugging the cords directly to the TV, if you have cable, an RF Modulator, etc.

I can help.

I have found that you almost have to download your pictures directly from the camera with the SD chip still in it. Don't know why you can't take the chip out, like with other media. As I recall, the manual says to download from your camera. Sorry.
