I purchased this photo frame and it appears it is just a reader of my pictures from a memory stick. Is there a way to download the pics to the frame?

There is no storage on this photo frame except for the SD / SDHC slot or USB connectivity. They do have other models with built-in flash memory but of course the cost goes up for them. SD cards are fairly inexpensive and easy to update periodically so I wasn't looking for built-in memory and at the price listed I wasn't expecting anything more. Personally bought this for my mother and loaded a bunch of pictures my father made back in the 50's, 60's, and 70's I had digitized and she has enjoyed seeing them again.

No, there isn't a way to dowwnload your pics to the frame directly it's not wireless, but you can download new photos to your USB/SD drive/card, periodically.

No, the pictures are stored external from the frame. The way to do it is to buy a memory card or small thumb drive that is dedicated to the frame and use it to download the new pictures onto. The only issue is that the thumb drive has to be small enough as not to be visible poking out from the back of the frame.

I use a memory card or flash drive. There is not a way to store photos without a memory card or flashdrive

The frame itself does not hold pictures you have to use a memory stick or a USB jump drive ect in order for the frame to work

I only have about 300 photos on mine and it seems to eventually get to all of them, sometimes repeating some of them. My only suggestion would be to put the photos in ascending order ( and moving some to mix it up) and put the frame on photo order. Sorry I can't think of anything else.

If your folks are not computer savvy, forget about transferring the pics to the frames internal memory. Keep it simple. Just place the camera's memory card in the frame and watch the slide show. BTW, my folks are in the same age bracket and tech skill level as yours. I bought the frame for them for Christmas. I've been playing with it and like it so much I'm going to get one for myself. I've looked and tried other brands but there is nothing that compares to the Philips.

Hmmmm, good question. To be honest, I don't know. I have never tried to do that. It is super simple with the memory stick.... but yes, i know what you mean, even my Mom would likely have trouble doing it herself. I don't have the box or directions anymore, so I can't even look at that. I have three of these, and have had them for years, and I love them...... I have never had a single issue with these frames, unlike others that I have in other locations, that freeze and fail over time. I leave mine on all the time, and they are worry free, running a slide show of pics 24/7 for me. They are great quality for the cost. Hmmmm, good question. To be honest, I don't know.

I put the card in my computer's card reader and upload the pics that way. I don't know about the memory stick, but it should work, you can upload through the USB port directly from the camera.

I loaded about 125 photos at full resolution(up to 20mb/picture) and the frame worked flawlessly. Then I repressed the same photos to reduce their size and to see if there would be any noticeable difference. There was no apparent difference. It continued to work flawlessly and it displayed all of the photos that I loaded. I expect it can (and will) store and display several thousand images with the 4GB thumb drive but I haven't load that much yet. I suggest that you try fewer images and/or reduce the resolution of the images. Consider the size of the library that you have loaded. Other than that I have no more suggestions.

The viewer is only to view whats on the SD's it does not store the pictures. The pictures are still on The SD's back at the camera. 2 SD's is what you need.

I have a 7FFICWO model. In addition to this information, I discovered that the only way that the picture frame would function properly from my 1G SD memeory card was to turn the frame on without the SD card plugged in; then plug the SD card in after it was on; then cycle to the 'slideshow' mode. Any other sequence resulted in the frame started out OK for several pictures and then freezing up.

When I got mine I got a program called "PhotofunStudio". I believe you go to the icon that says "acquire" to download photos from memory cards or internal memory. You just use the supplied cable to connect the camera to the usb on your computer. If I remember correct, after you connect the camera to your computer, on the screen of the camera will be a couple of options of what you want to do. Just click on the option you want and that should be about it. Wish I could help more, but I use photoshop. With that I pick my option and open photoshop then go to "bridge" or "mini bridge" (don't remember offhand which) and click on the icon that looks like a camera and select the pictures I want saved.

You simply need to use the USB or put the memory card in your computer to upload the photos to your computer. Then you can upload the photos to the internet once they're there!

The frame does not come with any built in memory. You have to plug in an SD memory card to the frame. You can plug in large capacity cards, my mother is using a 32gb card in hers so depending on the size of the pictures you can get quite a few pictures on a card.

This is probably a couple months late, but from the page, I can tell you they say: Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included). That is all I know. I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the mail.

Because we have many thousands of pictures for the frame, we only run it off of a thumb drive. Sorry, don't know

I agree it works well even with 4GB card. When I use external card reader to upload pics to the card and then I plug the card to the frame itself. Its weird that whan I use 2GB CF card I can upload pics via cable PC-FRAME but when I use SD card I have to use external reader.Anyway looks like it way to go by now. I also dont feel secure to update to the firmware that is older than what I curently have and hope that upcoming 10" model wont have such issues.Thanx for reply.
