First...make sure the format of the photos is
compatible with the frame...JPG would be the best
choice.
I'm guessing the frame has an SD memory card?
Do you have an internal or external media reader?
If_Yes_try the following steps......
Insert the SD Card in your media reader and go to...
Start / Computer.
The media reader should be recognized as one or
more Removable Disks and each will have a drive
letter.
Example:
Removable Disk (F:)
Removable Disk (G:)
Removable Disk (H:)
Left click each Removable Disk until you reveal the
Root Directory of the SD Card.
(If not....the frame (connected by USB) may be listed
as a Removable Disk)
OK...now that you know the drive letter...if you right
click a selected group of photos or a complete folder
you should be able to choose...Send to / Removable
Disk (?:)...this should copy the photos to the SD Card.
Be sure the photos are in one or more folders because
the number of photos you can copy to the root directory
will be very limited. And you will receive the following error:
"Cannot copy XXXX: The directory or file cannot be created"
The Pandigital picture frame saves its image files on the memory card. You can put pictures in memory card by inserting it to a memory card reader on the computer and copying pictures to it. Tthe picture frame, then reads the files on the memory card.
Should you need further assistance, please let me know. Thank you for using FixYa.
You will need a card adapter for whatever card is in the digital frame. Then just use the adapter with the card and you can save the pictures onto your computer. Adapters are usually no more than 10 dollars and local stores.
1st) How did you put the photos on your stick? Did you load them from a computer, or did you load them off a camera?
If you loaded them off a camera, did you format the card before you took the pics, or before transferring them from the camera's internal memory? You have to do format the memory card from the camera menu before it will work properly.
If you used a computer, same thing, you need to format the stick before you transfer photo's to it. Try it and let me know.
Hi cathy,
First of all the memory storage what it shows of 117 mb is usual problem. its buffer storage which keeps consuming away the useful storage capacity.
take out your card,fix it to a card reader,it works as a flash drive then.
and then defrag your card once,it will defrag all the space and will increase your card storage.
Now about the pictures,see their are different formats and extensions of the pics,like gif,png,jpeg. Now may be your cam doesnt support the format of the foreign object what you copied from comp.
And also the pictures have diferent aspect ratios and Resolutions
like 640x480 or 800x600 or lower or higher.
Now the highest resolution that your camera has.,ay be lower than the resolution what your computer pic has..
So these may be what troubling you..
Hope this helps you out.. :)
Plug the frame into the usb slot on your computer. Open up the folder with your pictures on it. Then open up my computer and look for the drive that is the frame. Drag your pictures right to the frame,s drive.,
remove the memory card and see if the remote works wit hthe built in memory pics. if it doesnt pic up your card you will just have to try another card. The frames dont read cards larger than 1 Gb very well either - reguardless of how many pics are on the card.
You can change out your pictures by having an XD or SD Memory cards if you have a card reader for your computer plug in the memory card put the photos on to it that u want on ur pic frame and plug it in to the xd/sd card slot on the left hand side of the photo frame and there u go. If you want ur pics off the internal memory u can transfer them from the frame to the card via the options button or menu button that is.
Its easiest to transfer the pictures to a usb drive or sd card and insert them into frame and copy them to the internal hard drive. Using Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.2
