Kudzu9, You might try asking your question at DPReview. It is a forum for camera users. You will have to join but if anyone can give you an answer someone there can. After joining just select your camera type from the list of forums. Good Luck and I would like to know if you find an answer. This is a strange problem unless by some chance there was a check mark somewhere to "delete selected photos when done downloading"...........? Here is a link that might be useful: dpreview.com

Yes, the mom has paid support, not on time or in full most times but after they attached last years income tax, we are now up to date. It is a small amount, we pay for health insurance. She is responsible for very little. We had custody of the 3 children, 1 is moved out on her own, she is in her 20's, the other is going to college here but will transfer to the new state. So, the last one is the youngest minor. SD has not said alot about the move, it has been a well kept secret. She did say that she wants to experience life and see different places. SD is very well adjusted, well liked at school and a top honor student. But she is close to her mom and I would imagine that she feels very very torn about this. I would like DH to talk to her when it actually becomes a reality and tell her that 2 years will fly by and she can apply to colleges there. this may sound petty, but I hope their house doesn't sell before the fall so SD will not have to make a decision. She has made it very clear to us that if this does not happen in the next 5 months and the move happens during the summer, she will not move if she starts her junior year, she will finish her jr and sr year here. That would pretty much solve this whole mess. Bio's DH will not make more money, he will be closing the doors to his business and I guess find a job/business to go to. Bio mom will work 20 hrs a week I assume and attend this program. She has attended 3 schools in 5 years and has not gotten very far, she flunks many of her classes so I have no hopes that she will actually complete this process. I don't know, I am a rambling kind of mood today. I think this is a selfish decision to make at this point. This education could be attained here and she could wait until her youngest is 18 and go where ever she pleases, she is causing a tremendous amount of unhevel and there is no home, job, family she is going to... just the acceptance into a community college? Who does that? And don't drag your kids along, wait until you are settled yourself. Who is going to support them and my SD? Our child support? Beginning to look that way. We will subpeona her payroll records if this actually happens and our arguement will be that she is leaving a good paying job, so we should not have to pay more because of that.

I also have a cannon about that age and it clearly states it will not take anything over a 2 GB SD card. That would definitely be my guess as to why you get that error. I agree the point of the memory card is to use it to temporarily store the pictures on the camera till you can off load them to your pc and burn them to cd or whatever medium you choose, take the card in and have them printed out or what ever. Once you do that you have all the space on the card available again. I never use the cable to transfer pictures and never use any software from the camera it is just not needed when you can so easily use the memory card in a memory card reader.

OK, I'm about to share my top secret approach to doing things easily, Just between me and you, don't let anyone else know. I refuse to go hunting for downloads, so I designate where they go so I can find them immediately. This is done in the browser (if you're using that for downloads, better to use itunes but that will be next month). The following only needs to be done once-- have your son do it if necessary First we create a new folder (aka "directory") for downloads. Left Click on Start, then Left Click on Computer`. A Windows Explorer (not internet explorer) window will open. In the lefthand column, it will say Local Disk (C:). Right click on that, then left click on the choice New, then Folder. "New Folder" will appear in the column, but it's highlighted and it will change as you type. Type .....Download folder. We've now created a new folder at the location C:\Download folder Halfway done Open your browser, we need to redirect where downloads go. Firefox, click on Tools, Options, General, look for Downloads, Save Files to...type in C:\Download folder Or with Chrome - Click on Menu (Upper right 3 horizontal lines), Setting, Advanced Settings, Look for where it says Downloads, then for Download Location type in the same thing C:\Download folder Or with Internet Explorer - Click on Gear symbol (upper right) then View Downloads, then Options, then where it says Default Download Location, type in C:\Download folder Now, when in a browser and you click "Download" for anything, a photo or otherwise, it will go to C:\Download folder. Everything, not just podcast files. Done with onetime folder creation and browser setting change __________________________________________ OK, now that we know where they go, need to move them to the SD card. These two steps will be done every time you want to put something on the SD card Put in the SD card when the PC is running. A windows explorer window should open, the SD card should appear as another drive. Like E:\ or F:\ If WIndows Explorer doesn't open, left click as above on Start and then Computer. Step 1 - Find sound files in C and select ones to move In the lefthand column, Click on Local Disk (C:\), then the plus sign next to it, and then one click on Download Folder. In the righthand column will appear the files that have been downloaded. Highlight as many as you want (Hold down Ctrl key and then left click) to accumulate highlighted files. Then right click and choose "Copy" Step 2 - Copy to SD card Go back to the lefthand column, choose the SD card (E:\ or F:\ or G:\) and give it one left click to highlight it. Then right click, choose Copy. The files you chose in Step 1 are now copied to the SD card. Turn off the PC before removing the SD card (there's another way, but I want to keep it simple).
