Kodak EasyShare SV811 (8858946) Digital Picture Frame - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I had this problem - The problem is the way that the file was encoded after editing in photoshop. When saving it as a JPEG you must make sure that the format options are set to either Baseline "standard" or Baseline "Optimized". If the format settings are set as Progressive you will get the error "current file is bad blah blah blah"
Hope this helps.

Make sure that you have the correct video format and compression. Video:
File Format: MOV
Video Compression: MPEG-4 ASP, MJPEG
Audio Compression: MP3, G.711, PCM, ADPCM, 8-bit linear

File Format: AVI
Video Compression: MPEG-4 ASP, MJPEG
Audio Compression: MP3, G.711, PCM, ADPCM, 8-bit linear

File Format: MPG / MPEG
Video Compression: MPEG-1
Audio Compression: MPEG audio Picture:
File Format: JPG / JPEG
Video Compression: Baseline JPEG

Music:
File Format: MP3
Video Compression: PCM, ADPCM, MPEG 1 layer 1,2,3
You will need to re-edit the video files you have for the frame to recognize it.

You can start copying pictures to SV811 digital picture frame if you get the message “Use PC interface to copy files.” Here are the steps:

Copy pictures, videos, and music between your frame and computer, using your computer's normal file copying tools:

1. Connect the USB cable from the frame to your computer
2. On your computer, open My Computer or Windows Explorer.

The picture frame appears as removable drives—one drive for each connected picture source in the frame, in this order: internal memory, memory cards, and USB devices.

3. Navigate to the pictures you want to copy. Then drag and drop them to the new location.
4. Unplug the USB cable to view your copied pictures.

Copying pictures from EasyShare software:

1. Install EasyShare software (free download at www.kodak.com/go/sw )
2. Connect the USB cable.
3. On your computer, open EasyShare software. Select the pictures in My Collection and drag them into the Picture tray.
4. In the menu bar, select File and then Copy to the Kodak Drive letter.

The picture frame appears as removable drives—one drive for each connected picture source in the frame, in this order: internal memory, memory cards, and USB devices.

5. Select the frame source to which you are copying.
6. Select Best for Digital Picture Frame to reduce the resolution of the pictures you are copying. Full resolution is unnecessary and quickly fills up the frame's memory.
7. Click Copy. Pictures are copied to your frame.
8. Unplug the USB cable and press “Home” icon to navigate to your copied pictures.

you will need to know the name that was given to that pic / video for you to find it. ask the people that saw it, if they don' t know, well good luck !! ps; they also may be pulling your leg and there really is no pic.

Connect ipod to your computer and copy pictures to an sd card. Place card in photo frame

On one side of the frame there should be memory card slots and a usb slot.
two ways to do it, take the memory card from the camera and put it in the frame.
Or down load the camera to tyour computer and then with a usb cable upload the picture fram with the pictures you want
Or from your computer load a memory card and then stick it in the frame

transfer the image from PC to memory card ( JPEG Format) and then insert the card in the photo frame. Then turn on and play.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa.

place images etc in any of the following formats

Supporting formats: jpeg,exif, mov,avi,mpeg1,mpeg4.

on one of the following cards,
Supporting cards: SD,MMC, MS,xD, CF,MD.Remote control. USB, 128Mb integrated memory.

move pictures to this drive and they will be on frame internal memory.

or move images etc to sd card or usb stick,

insert card or stick into relevent slot or port on frame and switch on

I hope this was useful.

if you have tweezer you can remove the said memory card but be carefull to the pin inside of the cardslot.if you cant do that bring service center

you probably have 2 possibilities..
1st ) is to insert the stick ..(card with the picture on ...and choose to play the slide show from it )
2nd) is to connect it to the computer ...and after that the computer will recognize it ..and you will find it in my computer folder by its name or as a removable device (this mostly in case it has a card attached)
Open the folder and inside you will be able to see the pictures that are already there ...top Load pictures just drag and drop pictures in this folder or copy and paste them..after that you will be able to see them on the frame ...make some slide shows with different folders ..or just play all..and it will change them on a preset time ..
Same thing for Mac..bu the frame will be visible on desktop..and same just copy pictures into it(be sure you do not cut them cause you will loose from computer this way ..so ..just copy ..and paste into the frame's folder

Sounds like the memory installed in the frame is full. Try a different memory card or USB stick to see if the various ports are working. Be sure and try a full power off, batteries removed, reset. On the menu, is there a "format" function? if you reformat the memory, you will lose all of the pictures, make sure you have other copies, but that should return it to factory condition.

Make sure your songs are in MP3 format and have file extension .mp3 as it is the only supported music format by the frame.

You would need to correct the orintation using a computer then reload the pictures in the frame. The frame is reading those pictures as how they were originally created.
