All of my photos are on an independent hard drive . How would I use this product with a hard drive ,as I cannot direct the hard drive to do anything

That's a good question. I have never tried to capture any pics from an external hard drive. I wished I had an answer for you, but I don't.

I bought my PK from a catalog and not the directly from the company. Mine also did not work properly when I tried to use it. I called the company and they suggested that it was possibly because it had been on a shelf somewhere for awhile and the software was out of date. The company emailed me updated software and it worked perfectly. It was very simple to use and I had no further problems with it. I hope you get it working.

I have a desktop computer and an external hard drive. If that's your set up, plug the PK into the computer's USB port, and turn on the external hard drive. The PK will be listed with a unique name under devices and drives (such as E drive). Then copy from the external hard drive (which might be called F drive) to E drive. Hope that's pertinent to your question.

I don't actually know. What I use is a thumb drive with the photos on that and it allows me to load several gigabytes

Too bad :( You might want to try some of the utilities that can retrieve files. I used EaseUS free program to recover lost pics off of a hard drive and it worked.

Suppose to add itself. Because in order to make it work. You must power the hard drive.

Yes you can. Even though I do advice to use a dedicated usb drive with the pictures connected to frame for viewing. The internal memory of the frame does not fit many pictures

I bought this thinking the same thing. When I tried to do this, it did not recognize the files that were on the USB. So in my experience it did not work.

Use the USB and a USB external hard drive. WD has one with 2TB I picked up during Black Friday sales.

I appreciate this very much! One of the comments on this hard drive had me wondering if I could hook it in with what I have, so thank you.

I had the same "issue" and decided to install an updated version of office. At my office, I'm moving files onto a stand alone drive so that I don't lose any information and plan to transfer it when I reload "7". Safest thing I can come up with. Sorry, wish I could help more! DonDon

I've never used the disk, so I am unsure. If you are trying to download the photos, I use a memory card reader. Which is fast and easy to use.

I am not familiar with the drive you have but if the connections match, give it a go. In my situation, it was the PC that crashed with a healthy hard drive. All I had to do was remove the hard drive from the PC and hook it up to Apricorn and I was back in business. I wish you all the luck!

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

I use the USB cable that came with it. When I connect the camera to the computer, it automatically shows the camera like an external drive. I browse to the DICM directory and the folder with the pictures. Then I either copy or move the pictures to the directory where I want to store them. I usually create a new directory with a unique name so I know what the group of pictures are rather than try to rename each individual one. Hope this helps. RW

I COPY the pics I want into a separate file on my PC, then copy those files to whatever Storage card I'm going to use (it has a 5 in 1 Card Reader - SD/MS/MS-PRO/MMC/XD.) Set the DPF to read from the card instead of its storage system - you can watch them individually or set it up as a slideshow with enhancements. Or, use a usb cord and move your pics back and forth to/from your PC, yours might work with wifi...
