SD card not recognized

There could be several reasons why you are unable to select the SD/MMC card for photos on your Philips photo frame. Here are a few possibilities:

1. Make sure that the card is properly inserted into the card slot.
2. Check the format of the SD/MMC card. The photo frame may only support certain types of card formats.
3. Make sure that the SD/MMC card is not full or damaged. If the card is full or damaged, it may not be recognized by the photo frame.
4. Try a different SD/MMC card to see if the issue is with the card itself or with the photo frame.
5. Reset the photo frame to its default settings and try again. To reset the photo frame, remove the card and unplug the power cord. Press and hold the "Reset" button (usually located on the back or bottom of the frame) for 10 seconds, then release it. Reconnect the power cord and insert the card.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, there may be a problem with the photo frame itself. In this case, you may need to contact Philips customer support for further assistance.

The new card is not compatible with your photo frame. Only thing you can do is to make sure that what you use is compatible. Your manual or website will tell you the largest memory card you can use.

Pandigital photo frames are an ideal way to display your collection of digital photos. You can view photos with or without a computer using just a memory card, but it's always a good idea to transfer the photos you'll want to view frequently to the internal memory of your frame. This is also a handy way to back up your favorite images.

1. Transferring Photos from a Memory Card
   • Your digital photo frame's built-in software will recognize six types of memory card: CF I/II, SD, MS Pro, MMC and XD. Locate the slot on the back of the frame (to the left of the stand) that corresponds with your type of memory card. These are labeled as follows: SD/MMC/MSPro/XD, CF I/II, USB and mini USB. Insert your memory card into the appropriate slot, power on your digital frame, and it will automatically begin a slideshow using every available image on your memory card. Note that only JPEG formats under 16 megapixels are compatible.
     
   Transferring Photos from a PC
   • Use the USB cable that came with your frame. Connect the mini USB end to the mini USB port on the back of your frame; connect the large USB end to your computer's USB port. Double-click the "My Computer" icon on your desktop or in your Windows "Start" menu. You'll see that your computer has automatically assigned a drive to your digital frame---look for a device called "Removable Disk" followed by a letter (Removable Disk E:, for example). This is the folder that represents the internal memory of your digital photo frame; you will be dragging your photos into this folder.
     Next, open the folder in which you store your photos ("My Pictures," for example). Select the photos you want to transfer to your frame. Drag them to the drive associated with your digital photo frame---this is the "Removable Disk" drive you located within the "My Computer" folder. Every photo you selected will then be copied onto your digital frame.
     After the files are copied, disconnect your digital frame properly. If you don't, your frame's internal memory could be damaged. Look for the system tray in your desktop's lower right-hand corner. Left-click the icon that shows a gray box with a green arrow on top of it. Select "Safely Disconnect Hardware." A dialog box will appear, asking you to select the device to disconnect. Select the digital frame and click "OK." When the dialog box appears, click "Close." You'll see a message in the lower right hand portion of your desktop telling you it's safe to disconnect your frame.
     
   Copying Photos to Your Frame's Internal Memory
   • You can use your frame's remote control to copy photos from your memory card or computer to the photo frame's internal memory. Connect your photo source (computer or memory card) and have your frame's remote control handy. Access the "Home" screen on your frame using the "Home" button on your remote control or by pressing the "Home" button on top of the frame. Next, choose "Photos" and press "Enter." You'll see all your photos in thumbnail form. Scroll through them with the up and down arrows. Press the "+" key to mark photos you want to copy (use "-" to de-select a photo). When you've selected all the photos you want to copy, press "Set Up," then "Copy Photo," "Enter," "Selected" and "Enter." A dialog box will ask you to confirm your selection; with the cursor on "Yes," press "Enter." The photos you selected will be copied to the frame's internal memory.
     

Keep in mind that Digital Photo Frame can display the same photo continuously for 1000 hours without any damage to the LCD screen.
If you can enter to the settitgn menu, first make sure the system is properly powered. Then use a pin to trigger the reset button located on the side of the power button on the back to restore the system...



If this isnt work try...

1. Load all the photos you want to upload to the Photo Frame in the root directory of your memory card.
2. Power off your Photo Frame by pressing the Power button.
3. Insert the memory card into the slot in the frame.
   A For a Compact Flash card, firmly slide card in the larger slot end first and face down.
   B For an xD, SD, MMC, or Memory Stick card slide card in the smaller slot end first and face up until it locks into place.

1. Restart Photo Frame by pressing the Power button.
2. After a few seconds, all photos in the root directory of the memory card will be automatically added to Photo Frame. The root directory on memory card will not be emptied after this operation.
   
   Please do not remove the memory card just after inserting it in Photo Frame or when Photo Frame is counting the Photo.
   Wait until the screen is stable.
   
   NOTE: This operation does not apply to photos in sub-directories.

If anyone of this procedures work fine, I suggest contact your local service (check if even is underwarranty).

Good luck.

Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card, not an SD card. While SDHC cards will fit into SD slots, they are electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use an SD (or MMC or xD or MS), 2GB and smaller.

The above link goes to a site that describes how SD or SDHC cards can be used in newer C cameras such as yours.

Also, the following should be noted regarding sd cards:

Question : Why doesn't my camera recognize the SECURE DIGITAL (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory card that is in the camera? Answer : Your camera may not recognize the memory card inside for one of the following reasons:

• The card is not fully inserted in the camera. Turn off the camera, insert a card into the slot, then push to seat it.
• The card may be corrupted. Reformat the memory card.
  CAUTION: Formatting deletes all pictures and videos, including those that are protected. Removing a card during formatting may damage the card.
• The card may not be a certified SD or MMC card. Purchase a certified SD or MMC memory card.

See your camera's user manuals for more information. Go to KODAK Product Manuals, and select the manuals you need.

Compatible Card-Slots : SD/MMC; xD; CF;Memory Stick; Microdrive; USB

You might have too much data on the SD card. Try with less pics onto the card.
