We are fogged in here at the lake again this morning. I did enjoy a glorious full moon over the lake last night-very bright.
I did get my new camera in the mail on Tuesday, took a few photos. Yesterday got the booklet out on how to download the photos. I am not a tech person at all. When I plug the camera into the computer it brings up a screen of three choices-I need to select the middle one to download. How do I do that, as of course it is not clickable. So amazon had a chat help for my camera. He could not help me so he sent my issue to the seller. Early this morning all I get is a photo of the page in the booklet. Frustrating for sure I was told I would get a video and tutorial. I wrote back and told them if they can't help me will be sending the camera back.
Life as a senior with no tech knowledge can be quite frustrating. I have never had this kind of issue with a camera before. Usually you just plug it in and the photos download.
End of gripe
Yesterday I worked on cleaning the fronts of all the wood kitchen cabinets with a wood cleaner-and I got the window clean that is in front of the sink with the help of one of Larry's workers. That window gets so dirty for some reason. Next up will be to clear off the coffee area and clean and put back. Scour the sink, clean the floor and the kitchen will be clean going into winter. Oh one more thing I need to do is empty the frig and clean that too. Hope to finish up the kitchen today.
Next up will be to clean the rest of the wood in the house and do the floors, wash rugs. I only have rubber backed rugs now in the kitchen, and in front of the two doors-can't risk falls with my handwoven rugs any more.
With cleaning I have not gotten back to my sewing my little bag together. Hope to this weekend.
I made a pork loin roast in the oven yesterday. I used one of my cast iron skillets This was so delicious. I rubbed rosemary all over the roast and then added Mrs Dash garlic and herbs. I used this recipe as a guide
Happy Friday
Update: Larry played around with the camera, the computer won't recognize it, after a half an hour or more-I said enough is enough I am sending it back to Amazon. That is a good thing with Amazon very easy to return items with a free shipping label. I do have to drive in to our bank where they have a UPS and Fedex drop off
We searched for a different camera and went on Walmart.com They had a Kodak digital that uses regular batteries and got good reviews-they were a lot cheaper too than what Amazon was selling this one for-pays to take the time to shop around online. We did also see a Minolta digital that was very impressive for just a little bit more money. Could not find what the battery was though. Had Japanese lens and a big upgrade overall. I went on Amazon they had the same camera again for more money, but in reviews one said this was not a point and shoot camera needed to set dials-not for me. so ordered the Kodak
Kathy the last time i used a camera instead of my phone i had to take the chip out of the camera and put it in an exterior port that i plugged into the computer... I don't know.. i sure hope they can help you... I can send you a pic of the port if your interested... Luckily i have a built in computer guru.... :) Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, this camera doesn't have a chip like that but I know what you mean though I had one of those in the past hugs
DeleteHey that looks like a nice camera! Hope it works for you!!!
DeleteGood morning thank you-it is more the style I am used to as well. I just got a response back this morning from the other camera-he is telling me something wrong with my computer-haha don't think so
DeleteThat is so frustrating about the camera Kathy. And it would be nice is companies had decent customer service, wouldn't it? And good for you for doing all that cleaning. I really need to get someone to come in and wash windows because although I can do the inside, standing on a ladder to do second floor windows is kind of scary. Congrats on the cleaning. Good luck with the camera and have a great weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt is frustrating, if the seller doesn't come back and help me I will give him a bad review and return the camera. too stressful for me and aggravating
DeleteI am really careful with ladders too. Especially now after Larry's bad accident
I may just hire our two helpers next spring to clean all of our windows. there are some since we are on a hill that need a very tall ladder to clean.
It will feel good to get the house really clean before winter.
thanks happy Friday
Amazon has easy returns, a good thing
ReplyDeletethey do really appreciate that
DeleteI hear you on the tech thing. I am always completely flummoxed. Good luck with the replacement.
ReplyDeletethe one I am sending back is an off brand I never heard of before-this new one is the style I am used to and it's a Kodak although probably made in china
DeleteI have a hard time reading instruction manuals and learning technical things. I tend to search YouTube videos and watch them. So much easier for me to absorb.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree visual is much better and I watch a lot on you tube more since we have streaming on our tvs. Happy weekend
DeleteToo bad the first camera did not work out for you, Kathy, and I was wondering what brand and type it was. I know what you mean about the frustrations of trying to connect with a PC, which my camera will do, but I just take out the memory card and put that in.Hope the replacement works out much better and do share about it. The pork loin sounded delicious just reading about it.
ReplyDeleteIt was an off brand but it had gotten mostly good reviews. I liked that it came with 2 batteries and a charger which I had need seen before for those flat batteries.
DeleteThis is the first time we had ever had difficulty connecting to the pc when the seller told me I needed a new computer-ah nope this one is less than a year old.
The pork recipe was very delicious I saved it to my meat board on pinterest
I am not tech saavy either. So glad you were able to find a camera that would work for you. Roast with rosemary sounds yummy. I made jambalaya tonight. Janice
ReplyDeleteGood evening, that sounds delicious. Have not make a jambalaya in a long time. I really like the rosemary on the pork loin. would make this again.
DeleteHappy new week
Oh that sounds so darn frustrating!!!!! With mine I have to be superquick, other it loads some folders, I have no idea how to stop that. Obviously no tech, either! Hope all works out with the new camera and we get some pics from your lake! Hugs to you!
