Can't use Philips Electronic Photo Frame

I've just been given a new Philips electronic photo frame and have plugged it in to my Mac via the USB cable. The instruction book says it will be recognised as a mass storage device. However, it appears in my iPhoto window as a camera ("NO NAME") and I cannot see a way to transfer photos to it. The instruction book that came with the photo frame says:
"Connect Photo Frame to PC and put photos directly under the root directory of the Photo Frame drive.
Disconnect the USB cable. After a few seconds, all photos in the root directory will be automatically added to Photo Frame and the directory will be emptied.
Note : This operation does not apply to photos in sub-directories."
This means nothing to me (eg 'put photos directly under the root directory'). Can anyone help? I wish this thing was as intuitive as a Mac!

Does it show up on the desktop? If so, select your pics and go File -> Export and export them to the desktop, then drag them to the gadget. The Root Directory means "don't put them in Folders".
Afterwards, you can trash the files from the desktop, as they are copies. The Originals are safe in iPhoto.

  • How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac

    How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac, I have tons of ink and don't want to buy a new printer right now.

    People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan ( ).
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
    Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .

  • What device can I use to transfer photos from Iphone5s. Don't want to use my computer.

    What external device besides my computer can I use to transfer photos from
    my Iphone 5s.  Do I have to transfer to my computer and then external device?

    Normally the transfer is to your computer, treating the phone as a digital camera. However, you can also enable Photo Sharing. Or use Box.com or Dropbox. Or a 3rd party app such as MyPics that can save them to a Google Picasa site, or Shutterfly that can save them to Shutterfly albums.

  • What software can be used to manipulate photos on original ipad

    what software can be used to manipulate photos on original ipad

    There are a number of photo apps available in the iTunes app store e.g. the free Adobe Photoshop Express can do some basic editing (you won't get anything as sophisticated as Photoshop on a Mac/PC), and with iOS 5 the Photos app will allow you to :
    Crop, rotate, enhance, and remove red-eye without leaving the Photos app
    Though I'm not entirely sure whether that will apply just to photos taken with the iPad or all photos in the Photos app.

  • If I have a list of Vimeo videos on a webpage, how can I use just one video frame and have all videos play in that one frame?

    I am creating a page with a list of Vimeo video links. I want to have only one video frame on the page. So no matter which video link a user clicks on, the chosen video needs to play in that one video frame on the page. How do I do this in Muse?
    Thanks.

    You can use composition widget for this. Insert the video details in trigger container and then insert that corresponding vimeo video widget in that specific target container. So It would work like, users will click on different video buttons but the actual video will play on same frame which is actually a target container of composition.
    The ID that we use for vimeo widget cannot be used for different videos on same time , because every video shares its own ID and url. But you can surely try the above.
    Thanks,

  • Can PQA use a single reference frame against a test video stream?

    For R&D testing of video "set-top" devices I want to initiate some internal processing on our UUT, then using a PXI-1491 analyze the digital (HDMI) video output of the UUT for some large number of seconds (180 seconds or more for example).
    The video that is being analyzed will have static image content. The amount of time I want to analyze the test stream after doing some stuff on the UUT is variable, but I always anticipate it being fairly long.
    It currently appears that I have to have a reference stream that contains exactly the same number of frames as the test stream.
    This makes the reference vbf files very large. My test requirements include a large number of resolutions that must be tested through the UUT. Having an extensive library of very large vbf files is logistically difficult, it would much easier to maintain such a library made up of single "golden" frame reference files instead.  Additionally, since my analyze time needs to be variable depending on test setup and UUT processing options, it would be better for me to have a single golden reference frame and validate alot of test frames against it.
    Since the analyzed video will have static images, is it possible to run a test video stream against a single reference frame (reduced reference) instead of having a full reference stream frame by frame?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Doing exactly what you are asking is not within the design of PQA.  Of course, the best option that we would recommend when working with video test is a large capacity hard drive, probably in a RAID configuration for more space and better performance, and then just taking a golden reference with 10k frames, and doing what you originally suggested.  
    One method of achieving what you are looking for without using a large reference file is through offline processing.  This would allow you to acquire 10,000 consecutive frames, which I understand is one of your concerns, and then after the fact run them back through the analyzer.  You would still be performing a looping type of action in TestStand or LabVIEW.  The process would be:
    1) Acquire your source from your 1491 provider with no processors, and saving the media stream to disk.
    Loop:
    2) Load PQA with the disk buffer provider instead of the 1491, the disk buffer file will be the acquisition from above
    3) Point the start frame to your current location.
    4) Perform your processor with the results.
    5) Repeat and iterate to a new start frame location
    This process is going to be much slower as you load and unload resources every time.  If you choose to go this way, a better implementation would be to maybe consider doing 100 frames at a time, or some number larger than 1, because the processing time of handling the extra frames is going to be less than loading/unloading PQA.
    Your second option is going to require more work outside of PQA to implement custom functionality through a Custom User Processor.  Effectively this allows you to come up with a way to process incoming data in ways that you'd like.  To do this you will need:
    1) LabVIEW 2011 - Custom User Processors for PQA can only be developed in LabVIEW 2011.  If you are under a SSP agreement with NI and only have LabVIEW 2012 currently, you still have access to older versions.
    2) Vision Development Module - To perform your image processing
    3) An unencrypted video source - Due to limitations of HDCP we can not expose the raw video feed to user processors.
    In this user processor you would:
    1) Load your static image/frame in directly, you wouldn't need to use the Media Ref input
    Loop
    2) Load the current frame from the incoming video array
    3) Perform your video measurement with the Vision function, likely PNSR or SSIM since these are currently the only 2 referenced measurements in PQA.
    To learn more about Custom User Proessor's, in the PQA help check out: NI PQA Executive and the NI PQA Configuration Panel>NI PQA Tabs>Processors tab>Customizable Output Processors>User Processor  as well as: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/514058CC830D86EE86257881004CB45F

  • Can I use Visa Electron to rent a movie in iTunes?

    Hi, I want to rent a movie in iTunes, but can I pay with my Visa electron card? (I'm from Finland, if that has any significance)

    Have a look at this page:
    http://www.apple.com/fi/legal/terms/
    There should be a link to iTunes Store Terms And Conditions and that will specify forms of payment accepted in Finland.  Sorry but I can't understand a word of it!
    It appears the Visa Electron is a debit card, so unless you can use debit vards (vs. credit card) then no.

  • IPad Photo App that can be used to display photos

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a iPad Photo Application that will allow me to show pictures of my products to a customer instead of using a big bulky workbook. The products would be listed in different categories. Has anyone seen something like this?
    Thanks!

    Are you brand new to the iPad? The Photos App that comes on the iPad will do that for you. That is exactly what it is - a photo viewing app.
    However, you will have to import photos from your computer to your iPad when you sync via iTunes. If you are a new Mac user, you can import photos onto your Mac in iPhoto. You can create albums or events in order to organize the photos before you sync to your computer. The iPad Photos app will not allow you to organize directly on the iPad so that's why you need to organize and categorize the photos before you sync. You can copy the photos to your computer from a flash drive, external hard drive or from your camera with a USB connection that virtually all point and shoot cameras come with when you buy them.
    If you are a PC user, there are applications that will do the same thing as iPhoto ... Picasa? I don't know much about PC software but you can do a search and see what's out there.
    There are any number of apps in the app store for use with photos, so you can go there and do a search as well and see if there is an app that let's you organize right on the iPad.
    I apologize if I am talking down to you and you are aware of this. I merely interpreted your question as a beginner's query. Maybe I am missing your point ...?

  • Can I use the new Photos app with Lightroom?

    I have been a user of Aperture but with the new Photos app I can no longer do that.  Will Lightroom work with the new Photos app?  I want better editing tools than Photos offers.

    No, Lightroom and Photos cannot share a Library. They are both Photo Managers (neither is actually an editor) with non-destructive processing. The only way to get from one to another is to export to the Finder then import to the second app. It's hard to see a workflow that encompasses both apps.
    Really you need to decide which app you want to use to manage your Photos: Photos is a free app geared at the consumer with a phone or point and shoot. Lightroom is geared for the serious hobbyist or Pro with a DSLR, Which photographer are you? Best to pick one horse and ride it.   

  • Can not use my backup photos, what am I doing wrong?

    I am having problems using the photos from my external hard drive. I switch library, and get all the thumbs up in iphoto. When I try to edit them or export in any way, I am not allowed to. This is very frustrating, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    n555:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The "!" in the edit window indicates that iPhoto has lost the link to the original file in the Originals folder. Check in the Originals folder to make sure you have the full sized image files in there.
    Did you rename or move any files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder? That's one way to get the situation you're experiencing but it would be only for those you tampered with. Since it's the entire library then you've probably fallen victim to the damaged database file problem that hit a lot of users.
    If the full sized image files are there you can try to rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options. I'm not optimistic that the rebuild will recover your library but it's worth a try.
    If the rebuild does not work you'll have to start a new library and import the image files from the damaged one as follows:
    1 - rename the iPhoto Library folder that's on the external HD.
    2 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select Create a new library, navigate to the external HD and do so.
    3 - with the new library open, drag the Originals folder from the old library into the open iPhoto window.
    This will give you a new library with the same rolls as the old one. However you'll lose your albums, slideshows, keywords, etc.
    To help protect from this type of problem in the future check out the tip at the end of my signature.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • How can I use an Aperture photo as wallpaper?

    I'd like to use a few of my photos in Aperture 3 as wallpaper for my 2010 MacBook Pro (Mac OS 10.6.8), but I'm not sure how to do it.  There doesn't seem to be any option for this within Aperture, and I can't see the Aperture library in Desktop/Screen Saver Preferences.  Any suggestions would be very helpful.

    When you're in the System Prefs > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop, have you tried hitting the plus button and scrolling down to Photos in the Media section of the sidebar of the browser window that comes up? You should be able to select photos from Aperture there.

  • How can I use the bridge photos that are thumbnail size and place in Photoshop to edit, etc?  The size is too small, - how to enlarge without blur?

    When I use Bridge to transfer a photo into Photoshop, the size is thumbnail.  It is too tiny to edit into Photoshop.  How to enlarge without blur?

    That is the actual size of your image file. 48 x 38 is very small.
    That is not a Bridge or Photoshop problem.
    It is a very small image and you cannot enlarge it more than x 1.5.
    If you want a large photo you must ask for it from whoever gave it to you, or take a bigger photo if it is yours.

  • What can i use to post photos to the internet?

    I tried Picassa and didn't particularly care for it.  The Apple Mobile Gallery is gone.  Should I be using some function of iCloud to make a photo album to share over the internet?

    Don't use Apple "web" anything, they tend to change things and pull the plug.
    Here is a whole bunch of sites, enjoy.
