Pandigital - File Incompatibility

[blumga]

I've just received this digital frame as a gift, and I've been trying unsuccessfully to get my JPG images to display. I've moved several images from my hard drive to a compact flash card, and inserted the card into the frame. Rather than seeing the images, I'm getting a message "Incompatible Format" displayed for each picture. These images are of varying sizes, none of which are extremely large. I've tried moving BMP files instead, but these won't display either. I don't believe it should make a difference but I'm using an Apple iMAC computer. Does anyone have any idea why I'm having difficulties? Thanks.

The files have previews. The previews are resource-fork files. The resource-fork files are ordinarily invisible to you when you mount the frame's flash-drive on your desktop, but the frame's OS "sees" them and tries to load them as if they were jpeg images.

You need to make sure that there are no resource-fork files on the flash drive.

Digital frames have a very simple FAT16 file system - designed to read files created with digital camera's. Check you filenames - make sure there are no special characters. Also, make make sure the first 8 characters of the filenames are unique. If you're still having problems - reformat the card in FAT16 format and recopy the pictures to the card.
