The advent of the digital picture frame has brought about a revolution in sharing photographs that sends the old laminar-style photo albums the way of the proverbial dinosaur. With the wide range of sizes and styles also come a wide range of methods for loading or reloading your images onto the frames. The three most-used methods of data transfer to these digital picture frames are: PC-to-USB, SD or MICROSD media card to frame and USB thumb-drive to frame.
Instructions
PC to Frame USB
1. Turn on both digital photo frame and the PC computer.
2. Connect a USB cable to the computer's USB port and then connect the other end to the digital photo frame.
3. Watch your computer screen for notification that your operating system has found, and recognized, your digital frame device. Most digital frames will cause an icon to appear on the computer's screen desktop.
4. Go to the location on your computer where you have your digital photographs installed. Select the photographs you desire to transfer and then, using your mouse, drag the photos onto the digital picture frame icon on your computer's screen desktop and drop them onto the icon.
5. Right-click on the digital picture frame's icon on your computer's screen desktop and select "Safely Remove" or "Safely Disconnect" to disengage your digital frame from the computer after your photos have been transferred. Unplug the cable from both devices and store until the next use.
SD or MICROSD Card to Frame
6. Locate the media card insertion slot on your digital photo frame, if it has this type of slot, and note the label next to, or under, the slot. The labeling will describe the type of media card slot your digital frame accepts. If your frame's slot is SD but you have a MICRO-SD card, install your MICRO-SD card into the SD card adapter.
7. Turn the digital photo frame off and gently insert the media card into the card slot until you feel it "click" into place.
8. Turn your digital photo frame on and consult with your digital frame owner's manual for instructions in transfer photos from your media card to your type of frame.
9. Turn the device off before removing the media card after the photos have been transferred from your media card into the frame.
USB Thumb Drive to Frame
10. Turn your digital photo frame off and insert your USB thumb-drive into the USB socket until seated firmly in place.
11. Turn the frame on and consult with your frame's owner's manual for instructions on transferring photos from your USB thumb drive to your type of digital photo frame.
12. Turn the frame off and unplug the drive from the frame once you have transferred your photos from the thumb-drive into the frame.
