When I load pictures on the drives, will i see Icon images/previews of the pictures or will there be a generic icon with a file name (like my Qnap)?

I have a mac so I can only answer to that. I do see thumbnails for my icons when browsing a folder with pics.

You can choose to generate thumbnails and what quality they will be. If you upload photos, be sure to use the Photo Uploader in Synology Assistant. Otherwise it can take a very long time (days to weeks) to generate thumbnails for even a modest photo collection. If your photos are already organized, be aware that that organization will not survive the upload process. If you have a Mac, be aware that iPhoto Libraries must be stored on a HFS+ formatted disk or disk image or the library will be corrupted.

There is software that comes with the device. But... I never took the time to install it and I just scan and then open up the jpegs in a folder that get generated when you do an initial scan. I hope to get around to installing the software one of these days... ;-)

I'm honestly not sure, as I immediately formatted the drive when I got it. Sorry!

can you please view on Windows Device Manager in the Hard Drive section for your hdd model?

Yes it does. I have problems getting it to load. When I click on the regular icon it just wants to install the program over and over. I have to go into Finder and Applications to find the right icon to get the games started. (Maybe that is my ignorance?) Once I have it loaded, the games play with no problem.

I haven't used it for awhile, so my memory is a little hazy. I plugged it in to a port on the front of my computer. I was scanning slides. I chose "USB Connect" from the start menu. The Omni saved the images (I think it has the capacity to save some images without a card) and it was transferred directly to my computer with a message that said "open folder to view files." I clicked on that to open the file and there was another file in it that said "DCIM" which I opened and there was my image. I copied it to a file in "my Pictures." Using a Memory Card in the Omni Scan is good because it allows more images to be saved and then transferred to the computer. I then printed out the images I wanted. Hope this helps.

When I'm within my network it looks like it is listed as a drive. When I click it it brings up the folders so you can modify the files within windows explorer.

I want to scan old pictures to my computer. If logos and graphics don't come as expected I am skeptical about photos. Has anybody attempted pictures?

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

Regarding the "blanks": these are the resource forks the Mac uses to store the icons etc. It is inexcusable that Philips (and nearly everyone else) doesn't handle this. If you get the excellent "Graphic Converter" shareware you can (among other things) automatically remove these from all of your pictures (go to file->"convert and modify" and select "remove resource fork". Then highlight all of the pictures you want to modify). This software can also convert resolutions etc in batch mode. Well worth the shareware cost, but you can use it in trial mode too.This is also an issue if you take pictures to be printed on a USB drive etc. Regarding the "blanks": these are the resource forks the Mac uses to store the icons etc. It is inexcusable that Philips (and nearly everyone else) doesn't handle this.

It will show them as you load them. When we saved the portrait pictures to the drive, the windows viewer allowed us to save them properly (left click on picture and click rotate clockwise). Then all saved pictures show properly.

When you connect to your computer, your computer should recognize the device as a "USB Device." In Windows, look in "My Computer." Once you connect, you should be able to explore the device/drive. DO NOT DELETE any of the files you find. If you are successful connecting, there will be a folder that contains .mp3 files - I was successful with adding files to that folder that were then usable. However, with all that said, the device itself is very difficult to use, especially if you are expecting it to function like an "iPod." I hope this helps.

Hi Lori,You say you're unable to view anything on the drive but its recognized. Could you explain this more fully? Do any folders show up on the drive or anything?

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.

Good Question, I haven't had the opportunity to test it out. I'm not sure if the file type will be support. I'll test it and send out an update. Bobby

Yea just copy them onto the drive and plug it in, you'll have to leave the drive in since it has no internal storage.
