Hi Frodo,
Sorry but Bilbo's still the man ? Hobbit?
I can fix this, but it really will take a chat.
Down load all your favorites, format your card.
We can make that camera like brand new,
You will have to start all over, with all settings.
Let me know,
Regards, Paul

We have a TI-89 and it is froze on the home page. we tried holding the 2nd button , left arrow , rigth arrow and pressing the on button. it comes up with installation in progress , but when that is done it...

Hello.

Here is a procedure to reset the TI-89 to factory settings (found online):

  • Press the "Snd Mem" key to display the memory screen.
  • Press the "F1" key.
  • Press the navigation key to select the "RAM" icon, then select "1: All RAM" to erase all data and programs from the random access memory and press the "Enter" key, or select "2: Default" and press the "Enter" key to reset all system variables to original factory settings. This preserves any user-defined variables, functions and folders.
  • Press the navigation key to select the "Flash ROM" icon, then select "1: Archive" and press the "Enter" key to erase all data and programs from the read-only memory or select "2: Flash Apps," then press the "Enter" key to erase all applications from the Flash ROM. Select the "All Memory" icon and press the "Enter" key to erase all data, programs and flash applications from the RAM and Flash ROM.

  • Hope this helps.

    I HAVE A NEW POWER SHOT SX130 IS (CANNON0 I DO NOT KNOW HOW TODELETE THE DOWNLOADED PICTURES FROM THE MEMORY CARD

    You can delete photos from your SX130 IS in two ways:
    To Delete Photos Individually:
    1. Press Playback Mode button (looks like a play button and is located on the top right on the LCD-side of your camera)
    2. The last image you took will appear on the LCD screen.
    3. Use the Left & Right arrow keys or turn scroll wheel to cycle through your images
    4. Once you find an image you want to delete, press the Trash button. The image will be erased.
    5. Press the Playback Mode button or the FUNC/SET buttons to exit when done
    To Delete ALL Photos
    1. Press the MENU button (bottom right button on LCD-side of camera) to bring up the Menu screen
    2. On the Playback tab (Looks like a Play button icon), use the arrow buttons or turn scroll wheel to scroll down to Erase. Press the FUNC/SET button.
    3. You now have three options Select, Select Range, and All images. Select will allow you to delete individual images, Select Range will allow you to select a series of images, and All images will delete all images from memory. This last one is the option we are looking for.
    4. Use the arrow keys or scroll wheel to choose All images
    5. Use the arrow key or scroll wheel to select OK when the Erase confirmation screen pops up.
    6. Your images will be erased!

    How to unlock a picture

    Go to the playback menu and select it (you may have to adjust the circular option know to get to the playback menu). Once there, scroll to the picture(s) that are locked by using the sideways selection arrow buttons. Then select the up or down arrows, which will lock or unlock your picture. You can also erase any locked pictures, in case you want to, by formatting the xD card. Hope this helps.

    Picture lock

    Protected pictures cannot be erased using [ERASE],
    [SEL. IMAGE] or [ALL ERASE], but they are all erased by
    formatting.
    • Go to Playback mode in the camera. Select the picture to be unlocked with the left or right arrow buttons, and to remove the protection select OFF with the up or down arrow button.

    Picture has a sideways "key" on it and won't erase. I have an Olympus FE-210, how do I get rid of the "key" and am then able to erase the picture?

    On page 22 of your user manual it talks about protecting images. Looks like you go to playback menu use the arrow keys to select the locked image - then press up or down arrow to remove the key symbol fromt he image by selecting ON or OFF.

    Canon Rebel XT EOS won't erase pics

    If the image has a small icon of a skeleton key along the bottom when viewing it, it means the image has been protected. You have to un-protect the image to erase it. This is done from the Playback Menu (the one with the arrow on the tab). Specific instructions are on page 115 in the manual. (Manual is available here if you don't have it.)
