I got my gift for taking part in the google books program. I work for a publishing firm in Buenos Aires.
I got some “file error” messages. Tried downsizing the images with photoshop. But the error continued. Then I found out surfing the net that I should open the images in MS Paintbrush, and re save them. It have no idea why, but it worked perfectly!
It showed a couple errors when I disconnected the usb cable, but it went away after turning it off and on.

Well. strange but cool gift.

I got a Google photo frame, and am having similar issues with the photo compatability. I’m assuming I need to go get my own card locally, correct? Or did any of you get an external card with the frame?

At my “real job” some of the people are taking up a collection to buy one of these for one of the managers. The one they want is $150. I’d say you got a nice gift!

I spent quite a bit this year in adwords, but I didn’t make the cut I guess.

I had any issue with photos to the internal memory. I have same camera (great on BTW). I need to use the software that came with the frame to recode it, but before that i had to resize it to a smaller image like 800×600 recode with software then upload it. but even then sometimes i had issues.(MAKE SURE after you upload pic you turn it off then back on) The easy fix was putting an SD card in and trasnfering to it. Has worked like a charm with files on the SD card.

Anyone else have a problem displaying JPEG’s created from Photoshop or Picasa?

I can transfer an image from my Canon XT (8mp), but I can’t seem to resize in Photoshop, save and then transfer. I just get “FILE ERROR”. I’ve tried all sorts of different JPEG formats!

I did find some software called TVwriter that would fix this problem… but its over US$50!

It came from Google adwords as i use adwords for advertising my sites. I have no idea as to what you have to spend with them to receive the gift but it looks like i spent enough.

Why is Google sending you a free gift? Do you earn a lot from Adsense, and that’s why they’re sending you a free gift? Or is it because you spend a lot with Adwords?
