Is the USB for flashdrives and media only... or can i connect to the computer it is connected to through that USB?

As far as I know, the USM cannot process huge data. So, it is for flash drives only.

Used my old EX70 with laptop via USB for still photo projection (jpg) and for powerpoint. The 2000 should be able to do the same, although HDMI may be better depending on use.

No, that is for connecting things like Digital camera or smartphone, USB hard drive, Multimedia storage viewer, and USB memory card reader. I use the VGA (blue 15-pin) connection, and HDMI to connect to my computers.

It's for storage devices and smartphones only; it doesn't allow projection from a computer via USB.

I hooked my computer to it through hdmi and it worked fine. Don't know about USB.

Yes, there is a USB port on the unit, however I was not able to get the unit to recognize the flash drive was present. I ended up using a memory card. I had also hoped to have two or three slideshows on the flash drive and be able to show whichever one I selected. No go! It seems to only see one slideshow and play only that one. Directly connecting a USB cable from my computer to the Digital Frame didn't work either. I have a lot of experience in such things, but I felt like an idiot trying different things to accomplish a simple task.

the drive requires the usb cable only! power is provided by your computer through that cable.

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.

You just plug it and open the file explorer. In there you can access the flash drive.

You can also get flash drives with a micro usb port interface. I have one and it works perfectly with this unit.

Only for pictures...as long as the flash drive or memory card has a "DCIM" folder...you can transfer pictures too and from the media outlets...also majority of the time it's best to use the power supply included...

Yes - the drive connects to the computer with a usb cord. The computer just senses it as a usb device. It's basically the same as plugging a memory flash drive into a usb port on the computer.

Not unless you have IOMEGA zip disks you need to access. As others have said, it's old technology. You probably want a flash drive that is compatible with current computers.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: It's a very standardized interface supported in almost any operating system. You should expect this to work as well as a USB flash drive. There may be some slight differences between operating systems, such as whether it powers down when not in use and how long (within a narrow range) it takes to start transferring data. Otherwise you'll have no problems.

If it's a external hard drive, you cannot because there's not enough power running through the device. But thumb drives and flash drives work fine but beware that they transfer very slowly

No it's pcmcia not usb. And the stupid thing doesn't even work. It's just so cheap that it wasn't worth my time to return it

Is there any confirmation that the USB port can link to a computer or media player (NMT)?

You can attach a flash drive or anything with a USB plug, however I am not sure if the player will read all types of media. I have not tried to play anything a USB.

Simple usb connection is all it takes. Select the correct connection and open folders, Just about like using an external drive on your comp. Sorry I do not even know where i put it anymore.

No, it's USB only. Just FYI, I recently went ahead a bought another set after my first one quit working after a few months. I thought I would give it another try, because I liked it when it worked. My second set quit working on one side in about 6 weeks. So, I won't be giving it the third try!

yes, you can use the usb 2.0 flash drive, but only into the keyboard - not into the tablet portion.
