Since every camera is different, my onlly suggestion would be to read the directions as you try it...When I tried with my new camera the other day I had a problem too...all i needed to do was to clear the monitor...good luck!

Jitterbug, you know what I did? I bought a little camera card/disk/stick reader so I don't have to hook my camera up to the computer, I just take the little card out and put it in my reader. My all-in-one printer (printer, scanner and fax combined) has slots for camera cards too. It was so much easier for me to do that than goof around with the camera. You just access the cards like you would a CD or DVD you put in your hard drive.

Here's another thought ... did you download the software for your camera onto your computer? Every camera needs specific software downloaded from the manufacturer's site. It helps your computer read your camera and will provide you with step-by-step commands for transferring the pictures onto your computer. You can download the software for your computer at the link below.

Once you download the pictures to your computer, you should be able to upload them to Photobucket.

I hope this helps!

Roto-Hoe Shredder
Q
Comments (67)
Hello - happy there is some interest in Roto-Hoe's -- Picked up a 500 yesterday and am having problems removing the three shredder knives that attach to the rotating drum (reel). There are two bolts holding each knife - one of which (the one closest to the axle) that match the hole in the side of the enclosure - easy to extract this one. The second bolt does not have a matching hole for extraction and I see no way to pull it out. I'll add that for all three knives, both bolt heads are inserted from the enclosure side, and the nut is attached from the cutting reel side. I've looked over the schematic in the PDF of the Roto-Hoe Repair Parts Instruction Manual, but don't see details on removal or specifics on the bolt orientation. I was wondering, could it be that the upper bolt should be inserted opposite the lower bolt? Meaning that the head of the upper bolt should go through the reel toward the outer enclosure? I'm at the point where it looks to me like drilling a second hole through the outer enclosure to match the upper bolt location would be a practical approach as I don't fancy pulling out the entire reel to access the upper bolt. Any suggestions welcome - maybe I'm missing something obvious! Bill

Hi Claire and Jud, Yeah, you both are right about the redpolls being around a lot- been having a flock of about 20 come by frequently everyday. I have to give an update now because I've uploaded some videos on youtube since the last time I posted here. Can you believe I'm having problems once again now with this Sony camera. Like the other two cameras, the focus has issues, it wants to work when it wants to. Here is a recent video i did on the redpolls and you wil see what I'm talking about (otherwise it's a good camera)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Klb44uKe6Z0 Here is two redpolls that stay together all the time, away from the flock, I named them 'Sue and 'Lou'. They are a funny pair- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UelrTOoY0U Here is the red breasted nuthatch, I named him 'Zippy" ÃÂª - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVYPQ5FpBDw Remember I mentioned about the flock of dark birds with the long beak coming around a whole bunch? Well, I found out they are European Starlings. I have one in particular that comes by many times a day and talks- I named it 'Centra'- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-j6gXSQ9FM I still see the ones with the black top and black going down the chest, just haven't caught a clear photo on camera yet. I ended up naming the raven too- I named him 'Rav'. He comes by too and talks a lot. He is one cool raven and funny too- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyyaWHIN_lM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2R7k7tjle0. I'll be posting a short video of Crooked Beak, Squeaker and baby soon. Ed

How to fix a rattling door & cold showers from oil furnace/heater
Q
Comments (43)
So the service company came. They did many things to address the rattling door which had no effect: - changed the filter - changed the strainer in the pump - adjusted the air flow next to the pump - blew air through the fuel line back to the oil tank (the burner whined loudly after this then quieted down) - bled oil from the burner - started to remove the flow control from the system then decided it was working fine and put it back Finally they changed the nozzle. They stepped the nozzle down to .75 by 70 degrees and wouldn't you know the furnace is back to its quiet happy self. What a relief! I can sleep again at night. (They did not clean/vacuum the furnace.) The showers have been consistently hot, set at 170, 190, and 15 differential. The tech did not have a tool to test the water temperature. Still need to retest the circulator but much progress!

Where do you put your cookbooks and recipes?
Q
Comments (59)
CeltinNE, I have both shared and private Google Docs. We have a shared doc for family recipes. This is so handy when we're at Mom's and she can't find her beautifully handwritten recipe card, but we can find it on one of our devices and finish making it by the time she finds her card. You can set the sharing settings for each document individually. If you have handwritten recipes you'd rather scan than type, you can upload them as PDFs. Another option I've just started using is Evernote. It has an awesome web clipper browser extension that will copy the meaningful part of a web page, minus the ads, into a note in your Evernote account. Evernote will also do OCR on scanned handwriting I believe, so that it is searchable. I like Google Docs or Evernote, because I don't want to be tied into a proprietary technology that could disappear. Google supports common standards that will not be disappearing; it will export to PDF, text, Word, etc. Evernote supports PDF. Evernote is committed to the portability of your data and supports every device platform out there. I would not to get a lot of recipe content locked up in some app that's not supported a few years from now. A lot of these apps are going to fall by the wayside. Also, I want my recipes in files so I can have them on any device. And yes, there are cabinet mounts for iPad. Any kind of mount or case you can imagine, they're out there. Check out ilounge.com for a dizzying array. If you are thinking about remodeling a kitchen, and thinking about an iPad, the iPad suddenly seems cheap if you figure you can use it instead of a bunch of shelves for books, binders, or files. I have several pieces of furniture full of music in my office and realized that another piece of furniture to store music is so many hundred dollars. I am scanning and getting rid of many originals, so just in furniture storage space, the iPad is helping pay for itself. Just think about how much that shelf space in your kitchen or den is going to cost you. Now granted, this is not going to help the avid cookbook collectors, but that's not me.

It is better to have friends help you than to flounder around trying to figure out how to do it yourself! I think we have all done the same thing.

It reminded me of a friend at work. She was so upset because she said her cell phone broke. I asked her what happened and she said the battery went dead and it wouldn't work any more, even after recharging. I asked her if she turned it back on. She looked at me weird. I said when the battery goes completely dead, the phone automatically turns off. I looked at it, turned it back on and it worked fine. lol!

I won't tell you how many times I have tried using something and eventually found out it wasn't plugged in. he-he

I'm just glad you got it working and we can start seeing your pictures!
