Mac compatible digital photo frames?

Hi
I am looking for a digital photo frame that is compatible with my Macbook. Does anyone know if they exist?
Please help.
Craig

I just found & purchased a Philips one on Amazon. I got the 6.5" version. The link below is for the 8" version. It got high marks from reviews and many mentioned that it was easy to use with a Mac. Plug and play. They hooked them up with the USB cable to their mac and copied over the files and it's done.

  • Compatible Digital Photo Frame?

    I'm trying to find a digital photo frame which is reliably compatible with Mac files (i.e. iPhoto), for both photos and video. I didn't think it would be such a big deal but now that I've started researching it, I'm finding all sorts of complaints about incompatibility, especially with, for example, .mov files.
    The product I'm seeking is intended to be a gift for my elderly grandmother (90 years old) so it has to be simple to use (in other words, I'm not going to get her an iPod touch-- just a simple frame, on which I can pre-load photos and videos, would be ideal.)
    Any ideas?
    Thank you so much in advance, and forgive me if this question should be posted elsewhere.

    Old Toad (love the name!)-- Thank you for the response, and the tip on converting the video files. I think I will try that out, and maybe take a card or thumb drive into Best Buy or Fry's and see if I can test it.
    Can anyone confirm success with putting short videos (created on an Apple device, such as an iPhone) on a digital photo frame? I spent hours Googling yesterday and could find no actual testimonials of such...
    Seems like a pretty basic thing that people would like to be able to do these days, with all the file/video sharing. I know most people just physically hand over a phone or other device and say, "here, look," but I'm sure I'm not the only one with elderly grandparents who never got much beyond using an electric typewriter, and when you can't be physically there to show them something on your own device or computer, there needs to be a simpler solution. I'm looking at frames because those seem to be the least intimidating for an elderly person, as they don't "feel" as much like space-age electronics.
    If anyone has any other options other than a digital frame (I was even considering a small, portable DVD player that would play photos & vids burned to a disc, but that's getting sort of ridiculous), I'm open to suggestions.
    Thanks so much.

  • Slightly OT: iPhoto-compatible digital photo frame?

    Does anyone make a digital photo frame that can wirelessly dip into your iPhoto stash via Bonjour, like AppleTV can?
    Thanks!

    Don't know of one.
    Try the iPhoto forum too, TD or Old Toad there might know.

  • Best mac compatible digital frame?

    What is the best mac compatible digital frame?

    For a high quality portable audio recorder, I've been very happy with the Olympus LS-10, but it is more expensive that the ordinary voice recorder, on the order of $250USD. If you want quality, this has it. I am disappointed at the sound quality of the voice recorders I have tried. It's stereo, about the size of a pack of cigarettes (if anybody remembers that). The built-in microphones are not perfect for music (reduced bass and boosted highs), but are excellent for voice. The device records about 10 hours continuously on 2 AA batteries. It has tiny speakers and earphone jack, and an iPod-easy menu system. It requires no software to transfer files. You connect the USB cable to the Mac, and the recorder shows up on the desktop for you to move whatever files you wish. You can record in WAV, MP3 or WMA formats at several bit depths and sample rates to balance quality with file size.
    There are many competing products (Sony, Tascam, Marantz, others) that have some similar characteristics, but I have no experience with them - except some Zoom products I tried were poor.

  • Does anyone own a  PhotoVu  digital photo frame?

    Sorry if this is not the appropriate discussion group for this topic, but I would really like to get in contact with someone who owns and uses a PhotoVu digital photo frame.
    I'd like to know how Mac friendly it is, as well as some how-to's in regard to its operation.
    My email is ***** <edited by host>
    Thank you

    Thank you for you reply Larry.
    Sorry, didn't know about the email rule.
    I have been emailing with a PhotoVu rep, but he generally directs me to
    faqs on the product website.
    I was hoping to contact someone who actually has and uses the PhotoVu frame, and their experience with it.
    For the same price I could plant an LCD monitor on the wall connected to a
    Mac mini - but instead of a mac mini would the lcd monitor(as a photo frame) idea work for showing iPhoto09 slideshow and iMovie clips that were saved to a multimedia hard drive ( instead of the mac mini)? Does the multimedia hard drive ( like LaCie's or LG's have to have some mac compatible software on it to access my files from the hard drive menu?

  • Digital Photo Frame with iPhoto

  • Using a Samsung Digital Photo Frame SPF-83H as USB monitor

    I have a Samsung Digital Photo Frame SPF-83H that I can use as a USB monitor in a PC but does'nt work in my Mac Mini.
    Any driver or adaptator?
    Thanks a lot!

    Did you ever get this working - the Samsung photo frame as a second monitor?
    DisplayLink released a Mac driver on 10/17. You can get it here:

  • I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my setting in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded the song but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? I would be very grateful!

    I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my settings in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded them but it did not work. What am I doing wrong? When I play the sd card in my mac or on a lenovo laptop it works but not in the photo frame. I would be grateful for any ideas as to what I am doing wrong.

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • Digital Photo Frame df1010v2 - how to download photos in the order they appear on USB?

    Photos installed nicely into my df1010v2 digital photo frame, but not in the order I wanted them. I had painstakingly named all of them by date, and they appeared chronologically on the USB drive I copied them from, but they downloaded in random bunches.<br><br>Does anyone know why this happened and whether there is a fix? Pictures are for my 90-year-old mother, and the weird order will confuse her. I do not have frame set to view in random sequence, but that's how they will appear to her<br><br>P.S. Many of the photos are scans of old photos, so setting them to appear by date taken will not work here.<br><br>Thank you for any help!

    Hi,
    If you are happy with PSE 6, why not continue to use it?
    PSE 13 can display the images in date/time order like PSE 6 does. The time doesn't appear when you hover over a thumbnail but can be displayed below the thumbnail. The best thing is for you to download the trial version (select version 13 from the following link) and try it for 30 days to see if you like it.
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    If you use the trial, to see the date and time under each thumbnail you need to go to the View menu in the organizer and ensure that Details is checked.

  • Export iPhoto slide show to Sony DPF-D70 digital photo frame?

    Can I export an iPhoto 08 slideshow to the memory of a Sony DPF-D70 7" digital photo frame? If so, how is it done?
    I would forever be grateful for any assistance.

    The only thing you can do is export the slideshow as a Quicktime movie. You can do this in the File -> Export dialogue. Can this device play a Quicktime movie?

  • Photos from computer to empty card for digital photo frame?

    I've downloaded 1,000 photos from my camera to the computer and want to empty the card and use it afresh. Is it possible to then load a selection of photos from iPhoto 6 onto an empty card so that I can play a short selection in a digital photo frame? and please how do I do it?
    Thanks,
    Elizabeth

    If you want to clear a card simply use your camera to Reformat the card. It takes a couple of seconds to do it. For specific details on doing it on your camera see your manual, or root around in the menus
    To put pics on a Card for a digital frame:
    Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export them to a Folder on the desktop. Then drag that folder of images to the Card.
    Most cameras will mount their cards on the Desktop. However some brands (not mentioning Canon and Kodak in particular, just in passing) don't. The only way around this is to pop the card in a USB Card Reader, and it will turn up on the desktop.

  • Best Resoltion for the 7" Digital Photo Frame

    Hello,
    I have got a
    *Digital Photo Frame II, 7"W, 720 x 480, Sensor Touch, MP3 Player-Funktion PA3637K-1ETC*
    The Manual doesn't tell me about the best Resolution for the Pictures to put on.
    on the Web you can Find: 800 x 480 Pixel WVGA-Screen (720 x 480 Pixel sichtbarer Bereich)
    The samples are 726x 480 pixel.
    Now my Problem:
    When you put Pictures on it - *It cropps a bit on the right and left side and much more on the top and bottom.*
    I have tried a lot of sizes. Even on 720 x 480 it cropps.
    So my question is : What is the best Resolution for the PICs ?
    Best Regards
    Markus

    Sorry,
    check your calculator: 800:533 is NOT 1.562... Mine Says : 800:533 = 1.5009380863039399624765478424015
    That is less wrong than it cut's off.
    Try it: take a white pic with 800x533 and draw a black frame of 10 pixels on the border. you won't see it on all sides !
    That makes 20 pixels (10 on each side) of 533 cut off ... that is more than 0.0009380863039399624765478424015 error.

  • Digital Photo Frames

    OK, how do I get photo's from iPhoto back onto my SD card in my camera?
    I've tried to drag and drop an image from the library into the camera source folder but that doesn't work.
    I've unmounted my camera while its still on hoping that I can find my camera in the finder but I can't see it.
    You see I'd like to use my SD card in a digital photo frame but I can't seem to get the photo's I want, contained in iPhoto, back onto the card.
    Can this be done or am I being really stupid?!
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers.

    Neil:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That camera do you have? Does it mount on the desktop as removable media? I found with the Canon cameras I have, they don't mount, I needed to use a card reader and make sure I had the same image name type that the camera used, i.e. IMG_xxxx, and put it in a correctly named folder. This was just so I could view it on the camera. Don't know if it would work in a photo frame on TV. Haven't tried it yet.
    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.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

  • Digital Photo Frame and Slideshows?

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a digital photo frame that could play a slideshow created with iPhoto (or iDVD), including transitions, Ken Burns effects and music.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Any photoframe that can play .mov files, because that's the only way to get a Slideshow out of iPhoto - by using the File -> Export command to make a Quicktime Movie.
