Not sure where this goes so I am putting it here :D

[Breezy]

I am looking at doing one of those digital frames for grandparents for Christmas, How do I put photos back onto a memory card?
TIA

[Daniel Bates]

If you have a card reader, just treat it like a floppy or hard drive (copy and paste them on). If you have a camera connected via USB, same thing... look in My Computer for the camera.

OK now I feel Dumb. I use a card reader to download the pics. So you lost me lol.

[Breezy]

OK let me see if I get this right.
I take the folder in my computer under pics and I tell it to move to, send to what ever the option would be and I select the drive that the Card reader is in and it puts them on the card?
I hope this is right if not I will feel even more stupid lol

[Daniel Bates]

Yep, that's right.

My card reader typically shows up as the F: drive (it could be any letter). So when I put files back on the card, I put them in the F: drive.

when you put the card into the reader, whether it be thethered with USB or built in the "autorun" feature should pop up and ask if you want to view the files on the card, or open various programs etc. Select one that opens the card for viewing.

Then open a Windows Explorer window and find the files you want and you can do a copy/paste job on the pics and the card will save them.

[Breezy]

OK thanks.
I don't feel as dumb now lol.
What am I going to do while you are at boot Daniel? lol

You will have to wait a few more seconds before someone else on the site posts the answer. Daniel is just like the guy who is best with the buzzer on Jeapordy. It doesn't mean that he knows more than the guy on his left, but he's always quicker to the buzzer.

What frame are you going to buy?

Duffy

[Breezy]

Thanks Duffy. I know everyone here has been great.
It is just in the past 2 days or so Daniels has been right there within minutes of posting :D
I am looking at the one a Sams. I was in there this morning getting a stool and it looks really elegant.
10.5 inches. Gotta be pretty big since their eyes are pretty bad. That is even if my grandpa makes it to Christmas. Everyone thinks he won't make it through the summer :( So it looks like we will be making a trip home a year earlier than planned.

[Duffy Pratt]

I got one lase Christmas and it had one really big problem. If you put in a file that was the wrong aspect ratio, it would stretch the picture to fit the frame. This was really awful, and the thing is sitting in a box unused. I won't even give it to someone because I think its so bad.

So when you decide to buy one of these, you should make sure that it handles odd sized pictures correctly. Also make sure that it will do what you want with an image you send it that is bigger or smaller than the frames native resolution.

Oh, and Daniels post count shows that he has been posting about once an hour every hour since he joined last May.

Duffy

[Breezy]

Thanks Duffy I will keep that in mind. I didn't even think about that.
Yeah Daniel posts alot lol

[KeithAlanK]

Make sure you have a card reader/WRITER, otherwise it won't work.
Some card readers only read.

[Breezy]

ok thanks Keith mine just says card reader.
Guess I will need to look into another one.

[Daniel Bates]

Which model do you have?

[Breezy]

no clue it came with my camera
but this is what it says
CF Card Reader
USB 2.0
It is cream
the back says HY-01001
I can probably search the seller if that doesn't help.
