15 years ago

I work with a really nice woman whose computer crashed and she cannot put pics from her camara to a disc now. I have the same camara that she does and offered to do it for her but now MY program to transfer the pics to the disc won't work.

Is there anything on the internet that I can download that will allow me to do this?? I feel bad because she had her hopes up..

Please help..

Did her camera not come with a cord that plugs into a USB port? If so all she has to do is plug it in and go to windows explorer and then go to the camera and select the pictures and then transfer them over to her computer or write them to a CD. Her camera has to be turned on in order for the computer to read her picture files.

Heather, that USB port is how I downloaded her pics to my computer.. so right now, I have her pics on my computer, but no camara. I know this probably sounds dumb, but can I still send the pics to a disc via the way you just said if they are just stored in a file?

I donÂt know how much help you need. If this is too simple I apologize. Go back to the Seed Exchange main page. Go to the bottom on the page and click on the Member Pages in the green menu bar. Scroll down to Edit Your Exchange Lists Click on this then Scroll down the page a little until you see the heading Seeds I have to trade: Type you list in the box Then go down one line to Seeds I am looking for Type you list in the box If you want plants or have plants to trade fill out those boxes Below the last box is When you have everything just right, click on the Submit button: Click on submit button and your trade page will be updated. You can change it any time by repeating these steps.

Ok- I'm ignorant about lilies and I need help before I order...
Q
Comments (4)
In my garden: 1. Yes. 2. Different types of Lilies come in turk cap shape. I have one turk cap Aisiatic, a few species and tiger that are turk caps. Here's the order of bloom in my garden, overlapping somewhat: Asiatic - longiforumasiatic- species - trumpet - oriental - orientpet - orange tigers - species. This year everything was out of sync. The asiatics & longiforum bloomed almost at the same time as well as the orientals & orientpets & species. Weird. 3. Trumpets, orientals, orientpets and many species are fragrant. I heard some new asiatics smell good, but I don't know which. 4. Yes. 5. Darker trumpets (Golden Splendor & African Queen) fare better in afternoon shade. Full sun bleaches them. The orientals are OK in fulll sun...could be because a lot of them are white or have white bands to reflect light. Orange tigers do well both in full sun & part shade. They grow the tallest in full sun. 6. Tigers carry virus, so say various sources. I had tigers in separate beds from my other Lilies for many years with no ill effect. This year, many of my Lilies fell victims to virus. The culprits were the newly planted lilies, not from the tigers. 7. My orange tigers face down, therefore turk caps. 8. 6"- 8"-10" depending on the types. Some species come in tiny bulbs. Brilliant yellows I have are asiatics and trumpets. There are yellow orientals-longiforum/asiatics, but mine are not as brilliant as asiatics. same with orange. Golden Stargazer & auratum are yellow and not asiatics. There are other yellow orientals & orientpets as well. Orientpets are fragrant, the blossoms are large, the plants are very tall and bloom later than orientals, thus extending the blooming season. Never tried van Bourgondien, but am tempted, because I had a very bad experience with B&B this spring, besides the bulbs were much smaller than before.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, could you help?

Bri, if I am understanding you correctly, I wouldn't worry about the bit of slant you are getting with the cluster stitches. They do sort of lean to the left. It might help if the loop you pull through the last bunch of loops to make the cluster come together is a little loose - make it a teensy bit larger than you usually do. When you come back on the next row it will be easier to make your stitch into it. If this is not what your problem is, can you be more specific?

You can use a burning program to burn them onto a DVD (holds more) or CD...

Do you have a flash drive or something like that? Otherwise you could email them too.

My way is a little longer than some folks, but it works for me ...

If the pictures are on your computer, create a new folder on your desktop and put them all in the folder.

If your computer supports writing to a CD, then insert a new CD in the drive.

Open up My Computer and click on the 'drive' where the CD is. Re-size the box that opens, so it's a bit smaller, and move it around on your desktop until you can see the folder where you put the pictures.

You can either drag the whole folder onto the box that shows what's stored on the CD (easiest)

Or you can open the folder and drag the pictures individually to the box that shows what's stored on the CD

When you're ifnished, there should be a command to 'write files to the CD' or something like that ... mine appears at the top menu under File I believe. Click on that, and the computer will finish it up.

If you close all the windows, take out the CD ... then put it back in, you should be able to see the pictures you jsut stored there. That's what you can give your friend, then.

And when you know she's got it and can see her pictures, you can delete the folder from your desktop and empty the recycle bin so it isn't taking up space.
