So I'm guessing you have to have photoshop to be able to resize the pictures to the correct size?

another option - free, and it has a lot of features photoshop has.

Potentially once, but they had crossed eyes so I wasn't sure who they were talking to.

Ok is been two days since I've been attempting to add a wallpaper to my imid.
Webby, I downloaded that software u had posted a link to earlier. I have sized all my pictures I want to 1920x936. These are the sizes for the pictures: first: 578 kb (1909x898), second: 420 kb (1920x936), third: 1.35 mb (1920x936), fourth: 200kb (1518x932), fifth: 347 Kb (1920x936)

To my understanding the file needs to be smaller than 2mg and no bigger than 1920x936. If I am wrong plase correct me.

I have a PYN flash drive and it's a 8gb. The file system is FAT32 (default) the allocation unit size is 4096 bytes. I have no idea what that is but that's what it's set up as right now.

I cannot get these pictures to download at all. It keeps saying unable to download on all of them. What else can I do? Much appreciated! I'm getting frustrated!

When you look at the images on the computer...what is the file extension at the end?

 

[Mayela Barron]

It's a jpeg

 

[webby]

should not need any special formatting to the usb drive -

skip forward to 1:40 seconds into the video ^^

see if that helps?

You watched this vid? ^. Still errors?

If so, can you post/upload the images here? "upload a file" button next to the "post reply" button.

 

[Mayela Barron]

Yea many times and still havent been able to figure it out. here are the pictures

 

[webby]

and you're saving the pics into the root of the usb drive - not putting the pics into a folder within the usb drive? When you hook the usb to the car, it does find the images, ..right? It just tries to import then fails?

 

[webby]

the only info on the right pertains to the image info - file type, size, and being in the root of the usb drive...

 

[Mayela Barron]

yeah there's nothing in the flash drive. it was brand new and bought it only for this purpose. as i load the pictures on the flash drive i take it to the car, plug in the flash drive to the USB, go to menu where i can upload a image under wallpaper, and i try every single one and it says unable to load. it does find the images then fails to download them. I am aware that it takes a little bit to download the picture as i seen in the how to video on youtube, so i wait and as it fails to accept the pictures i move on down the list to try to download the next one but no luck. Im doing everything correctly right? The files are the correct size?


I follow the directions to the T but still nothing. And I am aware that it does state that not available on all models. I know its available on mine because theres an option to do it.

for the others doing this by USB - is your thumb drive formatted to NTFS or Fat32? I can't imagine that causing it, but...?
