I also bought this frame and now experience the same 14/14/1914 date problem! IS there an firmware update available to fix this problem – very annoying!

I was given this frame as a gift. The picture part is great, but the frame havc a real problem. The first frame after I load the pictures it never turn on again. Then I exchange it and now I have the same problem as Tyler it reset the date to 14/14/1914 I ask the same question what is the 14 month?? but mine I can’t change the time not even for a second. Very disappointed.

I was given this frame as a gift. I love the picture part internal and external both have worked fine. But the clock is another issue must have set it 20 times in the last 2 weeks. Some times it works for 24 hours and will turn on and off. Other times it won’t even change a minute, have given up. Think that there needs to be an on and off on the remote. Bought this frame for the clock feature so am very disappointed.

I bought one and it did not work – displayed negatives. Exchanged it for another and it did work showing pictures from external sources, but it would not copy from my PC. HP customer suport even sent me a file with firmware to reload, but after I did that, the frame stopped working completely. There are clearly software issues with this device, in addition to difficult controls.

Mine is even weirder, it resets the date to 14/14/1914 at 2:14PM (also 14:14) – why it cooked up a 14th month, I don’t know. Now it won’t ever shut off automatically because it is alway 2:14 PM! Sounds like this thing sucks all around.

When I connect the unit to my computer, a new drive letter is added with the description HP DF 1000. I was able to copy 50 images on it then it freezed. Since then I cannot copy a single file on it. I even tried on 3 other different computer.

I can see the drive, I calick on it I can see the files but when I try to copy or delete a file I always get the error unable to find the file …
I not 100% sure if this is the message because Im using a french version Windows. Thanks

Reply to George Melnikoff: All of my images are edited in PS. (I’m a professional photographer; I shoot everything in RAW, and then process in PS.) I usually save in TIFF, and so I ran a few batch conversions to produce 800×600 JPGs from my images to load on this frame. They all work fine. By the way, by my calcuations, you can get about 4,000 800×600 JPGs onto the internal memory of this 512MB unit.

I just bought one of these for my wife for Christmas. We’ve had a problem with the clock/calender settings changing on their own, to weird times like a date in 1912. More importantly, we’ve mounted it to the wall, and it appears to be impossible to power the unit on/off when so mounted: the power and other buttons on the back of the unit are impossible to reach when wall-mounted, and there appears to be no power on/off function on the remote. I’ve just sent an inquiry to HP tech support to see what they have to say about this; if they have a solution, I’ll come back and post it here.

Does the HPdf1000 accept PS edited jpeg images? If not, do you know of any digital picture frames that does so?

Thanks
