Using photo frame

Got this digital photo frame; plugged it into my PB and OS X said "Disk Insertion: the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer. Initialize... Ignore Eject". None of those options seems right; what to do?
I did try Initialize... and it brought up Disk Doctor and the device appeared there, but it did not appear on the desktop.
What to do?

Below is a step by step guide with pictures so keep scrolling. You'll have to figure out how to apply these steps with other software.
The easiet solution is offered by Ann Bens. Here is a screen shot of how I used the AME. Make sure you UNCHECK export sequence and format to jpg or tiff.
Its quicker to use the export frame button on the monitor but if your going to use the end product as a still then you have to spend the same or more time fixing it; the AME is the best solution. Here is how to fix a jpg using photoshop.
STEP 1 - you'll see this window upon opening the file exported from PPro in PS.
STEP 2 - You'll see a widescreen picture but ...
once you uncheck "pixel aspect ratio correction" you see it looks squished
STEP 3 you'll want to resize it in the following sequence
Change the pixels from 72 to 300
B. Change the width to either 10 or 5
C. UNCHECK "constrain proportions" and change the dimension to 1920 Wide and 1080 Height
Now save the file and its ready to use in most other software and for use with online services like Costco's photo books and printers.
CHEERS!

I don't have the option on Photoshop CC of using Photo Frames from the Fill Menu.

Is this a bug?
I have an Nvidia GTX 670 which is enabled in preferences.
I have noticed some reference to items like Photo Frame being greyed out - it just does not appear on my PC.

Thanks, That's where it was hiding.
I was looking at the tutorial

and it was under Edit/Fill/Scripted.
I presume they've moved it.
Thanks.

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:

HT3905 Do I still need to install the HD writer AE 4.0 software that came with my Panasonic HC-V500 video camera or can I just upload video directly to my MAC using i-frame and the i-photo program?

I purchased the Panasonic HC-V500 video camera and it came with the HD AE 4.0 software. Do I still need to install this disc on my MAC or can I upload video directly to my computer by using i-frame and the i-movie program?

Hi glhiker,
Your video clips will import directly into iMovie. It's a great video editing program. I'll include some quick video tutorials to get you started below:
Apple - Support - Videos
When you open the iMovie application, click HELP > iMOVIE HELP on the menu bar to access the manual for the program. One of the first topics is Importing Video.
Down the road, you may be interested in our professional video editing application, called Final Cut Pro X.
A quick overview of the application can be found here:

Have fun!

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 photos in FCEHD?

How can I use photos in FCEHD? (I'm new to the thing - done just one video project so far).
When I imported photos from Aperture (first into the folder on desktop, and then from desktop to the Browser in FCEHD3.5, the photos have a black bar/a gray space above and below, and they appear too wide a bit on the right side, as if coming out of the Canvas'frame.
Is it a way to fit them into the 4:3 format, so they fit the whole screen (BTW - what view I should have set for Viewer and Canvas? A 100% or "Fit The Screen" view?).
Also: Is there a way to enter the same Transition in between all of my photos in the Timeline? (if so - how?)

Re the Canvas window ... before exporting your sequence, rendering, etc it should be set to Fit to Window, this can avoid problems
In FCE you can't set your own default transition. It is always the Cross Dissolve. If that is the one you want to use, when you drop your pics onto the timeline you can drag them over to Overwrite with Transition or hit Shift-F10. If you want to use multiple occurances of another trans, apply it once, double click to put it in the Viewer then just drop that down onto your clips
I haven't used Aperture but I think that how they appear in the timeline depends upon the size they are created in. Search this forum, there is plenty of info about that. Generally Final Cut sizes the pics to fit into your video sequence. Put a pic in the timeline, click it, select Edit>Remove Attributes and from the submenu select Motion, see what happens

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.

Photo frame export from iphoto

i bourght a digital photo frame recently but am having trouble exportin from my iphoto library.
I need to export to the native resolution of the frame which is 480x234 to optimise the number of photos I can fit on the memory card (any larger is just a waste of memory because the frame shrinks the oversized picture to the frame resolution).
The problem is that when I uncheck the "full-size image box" I can't enter the desired size in the fields below, I get 480x380 as iphoto tried to preserve the 4:3 aspect ratio.
is there any way around this? can I change the aspect ratio to 16:9?
any help please?
cheers
Steve

Steve:
You can get exactly what you want by using Resize! as follows:
1- create a new folder on the desktop and drag your chosen photo into it.
2 - launch Resize! and under the Box resizing section put in your dimensions. You can also set the quality level for the files also in order to reduce the overall file size even more to what you want. I found that Decent (60) was plenty good enough for the digital frame that I have. It took my 2272 x 1704 files (at 1.7-2MB each) down to 480 x 234 and around 20KB each in size. That helps the frame read and transition the files much quicker.
The application creates a second folder with the resized images. So you can experiment with several settings to get what works best for you.
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 (requires Tiger), 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. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photo frames

Does anyone know of a photo frame compatible with TIFF? There are hundreds out there but the only one I have found which takes TIFF is the new Toshiba DMF102XKU. (mark that down in case ever needed). It's 10" and would have to do for home use (many frames go to 12, 15, and even 19) but is too small for an exhibition space (business use). [I know I can convert all to JPEG, or somehow batch process, but don't want the bother.]
Also, as alternative, could use a tv/dvd combo but would need to put photos into a slide show DVD using software like ProShow Gold. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks for help.

There are some techniques people are using in print templates to get frame effects. Try searching for "lightroom print templates frames" in your fave web browser.

Photo Frame Question

I know that this is not an Apple Question but I haven't found a forum for this and I was curios if anyone else had run into this issue:
I have a Sylvania 10" Digital photo frame (I do not recommend this frame to anyone. Support on it is lousy to non-existant and I am still waiting for a replacement remote control for it which I ordered in March. I am using my harmony remote to control it right now.) which displays photos pretty well. It's resolution is 1024 x 600. The issue that I am seeing that I wonder if anyone else has seen on their digital photo frame, is that when I transfer photos from the mac to the photo frame and then view them with the quick view progam, the images are corrupted. Even Disk Verify shows that the jpg images are corrupted yet the photo frame has no problem displaying them. They look normal with no corruption at all. The files on my hard drive are fine with no corruption at all. Since I won't be using the frame as a backup for my photos anyway, its not an end of the world issue but I am curious if this happens with other digital photo frames. Interestingly enough, the disk utility sees the frame as having an unknown or unspecified partition with an MS-DOS Fat 32 format on it.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hello tweetybird53,
Thanks very much for purchasing the HP Digital Photo Frame. I regret that you are having some product and support challenges. Please email me with your HP case number or your product number, serial number and contact information so that we can get your issue resolved quickly.
The answer to the question, "Is there an HP service depot near where you live that you can take it there?" is no. Currently, customers can not drop off products at an HP service center. There is a process to follow that entails mailing in the product if it is coded for repair. In some cases, the defective product is simply replaced.
I look forward to assisting tweetybird53.
Regards,

IOS 5 - Photo Frame

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue...
Since updating to iOS 5, I can no longer use the lock screen photo frame while streaming music/slideshow to the Apple TV2.
Is it because I need to change a setting I'm unaware of?

Wish I had an answer... I may be having the same problem. A few weeks after installing iOS 5, I started noticing that the pictures I was taking were looking really pixelated and bad. Thought something was wrong with the camera. Then some photos started disappearing, replaced with either blackness or a fuzzy-looking gray photo frame. Then the ap started to freeze while scrolling. Then my albums started to shuffle the order around. Now some albums just disappear temporarily. I'm still able to sync photos to my Mac, but I just erase them from my phone, because they're useless there now.
Is this similar to what you've been experiencing?

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.

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.

Wireless photo frame connection to a private ovi a...

Hi!
I'd like to get a wireless photo frame for home (currently considering Samsung SPF-105V), and give some to close relatives as well. I'd like to configure them so that I can upload a picture from my phone to a private family album in Share on Ovi, after which that picture should appear on all the wireless frames tracking my photo album.
Now the issues / problems:
1) I found http://share.ovi.com/feeds/ and was able to connect to RSS feeds on my public albums, private of course not. There's currently a mechanism to send an email link to a private album to a non-registered user, but I'm not aware of a way to construct an RSS or atom feed address in a same way?? I wouldn't need any tight security for this purpose, just keep the photos out of publically searchable indices would be fine. So, a similar solution as the mail-in "!passwd" postfix in the address and no appearance in the Share on Ovi public feeds or searches would be enough.
2) As alternative solutions, the Samsung frame seems to have special support for Microsoft Live Spaces. I'm not currently using that so no big interest to do so for this purpose. Frame channel (http://www.framechannel.com/) has mail-in support for adding pictures to the feed, but it seems that the incoming pictures must be separately approved by channel owner, which seems like unnecessary extra effort in this case.
Any creative solutions around?
Thanks!

After learning a bit more basics over the weekend, I can continue a bit on my earlier post (the problem is not solved yet, though):
1) Framechannel seems to offer light protection on their RSS-feeds: The feed address contains a username and a PIN-code. This kind of security would be enough for me: Use the mail-in password of a privat album as a password in the RSS-feed of a private album. As this doesn't give very good security, it should be selectable in the album parameters, whether an RSS-feed is created in the first place. Or maybe this is already possible, but I just don't know it?
2) Framechannel can sign into some accounts (e.g. Flickr, Facebook, the usual suspects) and pull out also non-public material. Having Share on Ovi support in framechannel would also solve my problem.
So, as a next step I'll probably try to address Share on Ovi support on 1) and Framechannel support on 2).
Still, if you know a good solution, which is already available, I'd be glad to know. :-)

Center images within a photo frame

I saw a friend's site where it used a pre-bought package. It
had nice photo frames and a sutle drop shadow.
The site I'm working on has a lot of photos and I would like
to set them off this way.
What I did was make the frame with a drop. Drop shadow isn't
looking good even though I did a .png Anyway, I made the frame the
background image-ok. Now I want to center the photo within the
frame. The photo info is in the page as the owner wants to change
it. Its a <img> tag. I tried doing a align center in the
<img> but that didn't do it.
Somehow that program did it. I believe it was done with CSS.
Anyone know?

Thats a complex piece of positioning using css. I'm pretty
sure youre
not going down that route as it would be beyond your
capabilities given
what you have said to date.
So I would forget that and show us the code you are using to
create YOUR
version of this. This effect can be achieved with a lot less
complexity
than the example you provide above.
Below is an example. You'd need to know something about css
to
understand it. Basically you would create a <div>
container and use a
background image for the drop shadow, then insert the main
image within
the container, style and position it with css.
At the moment in the example below the image appears to be
off-centre
but when the drop shadow background image is added it will be
centered
in the <div>
