New PC for Digital Photo stuff - Advice please :)
A USB number keypad will work with a mac :-)the lack of a number pad keeps macbooks small, light and compact. I was very anti mac and hesitantly bought one, for me it was a large financial outlay, particularly after just buying a Toshiba Ultrabook just three months before but I just couldn't carr...

New PC for Digital Photo stuff - Advice please :)
We have to upgrade, otherwise eventually we can't use what we want to use. We've found Windows 7 very stable and unobtrusive, as an operating system should be. We don't waste our time with computing, being photographers first and foremost, so we appreciate something that's trouble free. I agree. Alt...

THAT‘s why I said that you need to run the various repair tools manually and select the deletions yourself, and why I do!!!!!![/quote] Just failed to follow my own advice and System Mechanic deleted all my network printers & drivers because I asked it to delete all "unnecessary start-up items"! ...

No repair today
I had to send my Canon mount 50-500mm OS back to Sigma last week as the focus was way off, got a email the other day to say they had sent it to Japan ... 6 to 8 week turnaround. It was fine with +10 correction on the camera but I wanted it sorted before the warranty was up ... wish I had just left i...

No repair today
I had the same problem with Sigma, Mike. When I got the lens (10-20) back, it lasted less than 100 shots and the same fault came back. Of course, they had to send it back to Japan again. Having said that, I asked for a lens replacement given that the same fault had reappeared, and they obliged. No p...

Firmware updates!
First check the firmware of the camera. Do this by switching on the camera while holding down the menu button and the version will be displayed on the rear LCD. Then either connect your camera to the PC with a USB cable (if you have one) or insert the SD card into a card reader that is connected to ...

Firmware updates!
Steve, Thanks for the info but either I'm going completely mad or something is badly wrong! I've sat here now for over an hour at my PC following the various instructions and I cannot get anything to work! I managed to get the "read me" file onto my desk top but when I opened it there are numerous r...

Try this page and see if it helps: http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/digital/k10d_s.html It has the download link and instructions. The main thing is copy the downloaded fwdc162.bin file to the route directory of the SD card, but the text file with the download should give full...

Firmware updates!
Weird....I have just formatted two cards and copied the firmware update to the root directory in both. Holding down the Menu button and switching on the camera with this two card setup started the firmware upgrade! Checked via the menu and the new version is now showing. Both cards formatted an...

I started with the cd/dvd backup method, then the external hard drive method, I'm currently using a 6tb Nas along with the other 2. The Nas is proving to be pretty reliable and my plan is to just swap out one of the hard drives when its full. The point of it all, well I'm trying preserve my stuff as...

Storage
The only thing I'd be worried about losing is my data base, duplicated on other computers and hard copied, it has the Birthday, Christmas and Holiday postcard lists on it. Other than that I'd be a bit sad to lose my photos but as my "best" ones are on the ppg I'm hoping they are relatively "safe". O...

Storage
As well as desktop usb drives I also keep a DVD backup using a mixture of normal and double layer DVDs . These double one give 8.5gb per disc which makes it a fairly practical option even for quite large collections. But I am planning on moving to BlueRay discs as soon as the costs come down more...

I used to back up to DVDs Yes, me too - until I discovered that even when the burn is verified, it's a toss up whether the DVD will be readable a few years down the line. I now use an external USB drive but must buy another soon and also start to backup (presumably full-size JPEGs) to Flickr. ...

iPad or other tablet for viewing and storage
Feeling as I do that I am the last person left on earth without an iPad or other tablet, I have been thinking that this might be the time to join the 'club' so to speak. I envy those who can so easily view and show their photos on these portable devices. So much more convenient than on my laptop...

iPad or other tablet for viewing and storage
Another non tablet owner here. I guess it depends on what you really want the tablet for. My photos are on my PC and a couple of hard drives. I only shoot RAW so a tablet is not a lot of use to me when travelling. I have a small hard drive I take with my netbook. It is powered by the netbo...

iPad or other tablet for viewing and storage
I use both Apple IOS and Android (and my wife's windows phone from time to time…). A while back I walked into a shop selling mobile devices and asked them about differences. Their short reply was "if you like to customise your device and are more technical, buy an Android, if you don't and just want...

iPad or other tablet for viewing and storage
Can't get excited over tablets. Bought the grand-daughter an ipad a couple of years back, and just bought myself a Galaxy Tab 3. They both do a job.

iPad or other tablet for viewing and storage
I bought a Samsung tablet because I didn't have the dosh at time for an Apple. I liked it so much that when my Blackberry phone died I got a Samsung phone, it seemed to make sense. I hate the phone and I thinking of going back to a Blackberry. Go figure... For Heaven's sake folks, it's a bit o...

iPad or other tablet for viewing and storage
In an attempt to get this thread slightly back on track, I have a question. Why would you choose a tablet device to store your images? I'm currently looking at a Nexus 7" mark 2 with 32Gb memory. I've not found any tablet yet that has more. For me, shooting raw, that's less than 2 x 16Gb cards...
