Here's a good one for you, Richard.

My new little Canon camera has wifi built in so you can send your
snaps
to your desktop or laptop computer, or to many off-site storage and
display sites. A number of newer cameras have this feature.

Well, I had no problems sending a few sample photos to my laptop, but
the connection between my camera and my desktop was sporadic and
flaky.

I had wifi on both computers turned on. It suddenly occurred to me
that
my desktop computer was also hardwired to my home network, so just
for
grins, I unplugged the cable between the computer and my router.

WiFi problem went away.

Now, I have other devices that connect via wifi and they work
properly
for communication whether my desktop is plugged in or not, so long as
wifi is on.

I'm still experimenting with this issue, but I think I have solved
it.
But...why it exists, I cannot figure. I wonder if it is a DHCP issue.


I was researching some color laser printers last night and saw a
review
in which the new owner experienced somewhat of a similar problem.
The printer was detected via the home wi-fi network on his computer
but
printing was sporadic. He ended up hard-wiring the printer to the
computer (USB) to get a printing job done, then tried the wi-fi
network
connection again. He reported it now worked like a charm and has
had no
difficulties since.

I am trying to find out why I can't download pictures or movies
from an
SD card to my iPad. I bought the "camera kit" adapters for it ...
one
is a USB to 30 pin (iPad) and the other is the SD card to 30 pin
connector that plugs into the iPad. I've followed all the
directions,
made sure I have the pics in a folder called "DCMI", made sure they
have
eight character names and the .jpg or .mp4 extension and I'll be
dipped
if the iPad will read them. Keeps saying "No Photos to Import". It
knows something is plugged into the connector because it adds the
"import" icon which goes away when I unplug the SD card.

I've shut the thing down, rebooted, made sure the SD card type is
compatible, made sure the iPad is supposed to be able to read a 16Gb
card, .... tried everything I can think of or have read on the Apple
forums. I even put some pictures on a USB memory stick and used the
other USB adapter that came with the camera kit. Just won't work.

I have imported to my iPad with the camera kit. I think you can
look at
the card with the ipad and find pictures then. I know I have loaded
videos
from MIT open courseware to SD cards and can access them.


I know it's supposed to work. It just doesn't on mine. Still trying to
figure out what the problem is.


Get rid of Mozilla Firefox and check all your add-ons and plug-ins in
Internet explorer. Download
and install Adobe Flashdrive and Splash (or whatever), Be damn sure
you have the version with ends
in .43 or .48, something like that. Then, make sure you have the most
recent version of IE. Then
download and install Google Chrome. Then come back and we'll give you
more ideas!

What's wrong with Firefox?

Nothing. He's being a smart ass. Nothing he said has anything to do
with importing pictures from an SD card to an iPad.
