Pictures From My Kodak V550 To My C1000
« on: June 03, 2006, 09:46:05 am »
When I connect my Kodak V550 camera (great little camera BTW) to my C1000 via USB,  it is recognized as picked up in the system info information but I can't "see" the files anywhere.  How do I access pictures on the camera?  Is it possible to transfer them to the Z???

Do I have to "mount" the device?  If so,  what would be the command line I would put in the console (I'm not a Linux person).

Thanks.

Just type this in the console: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstorage

I have noticed sometimes when you first connect a device and run the above command it might give you an error that it was unable to mount but if you look it should be mounted.

A great source for related info is meanies doc he put together on his web site check out: http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/

Heh,  thanks,  I just noticed the other thread on this subject.

I typed that line in and checked under mnt.  The usbstorage folder appears there but inside the folder it says "notAvailable".  I have a picture on the camera;  how do I access it?  Shouldn't the picture show up in the usbstorage folder?

Thanks.

It should show your pics...

try umount /mnt/usbstorage, remove/ remount the camera, then run the mount again and see if it changes anything.
I have a V760 that works great with my C1000.

When I tried the umount,  I get Invalid argument. Then a remount doesn't fix it.

It's possible I am not following proper directions for the camera since I usually use the sd card to transfer pictures or the cradle so I'll check my Kodak camera instructions...when all else fails.  
Still getting a notAvailable in the usbstorage folder though.
