I can't seem to upload pictures from a dvd or cd. I keep getting "bad or corrupted cd or dvd". Anyone else had a problem or even tried to do this.

 

Change the file format on your CD.

I'd have to go look it up, But most CD have more than one file format. The first time I tried to upload it didn't work, After reading the manual and changing the format that my PC wrote the file in, Everything worked fine.

 

How do you change the format the computer writes it in.

 

I think he's referring to formatting the CDRW before using it. You can only format rewritable CD media, not single use stuff. If you're using a RW disc, format it as FAT32 and see if that works for you. You also need to be sure that you have finalized or closed the session on the CD before trying to load it. Based on that info I'd recommend using non-rewritable media

Uploading pics to SYNC can be done and the pics can be viewed onscreen (of course otherwise what's the point?) and can be added to the home screen.

This information is detailed in the SYNC manual (page 23-24)

* You need to burn the pictures to a CD or DVD - the USB apparently won't do it.

* File size must be no larger than 1.5MB for each picture

* The file format must be .jpe, .jpg or .jpeg

* Make sure the CD or DVD has been finalized - it should not be pending to add more files.

* Load the CD or DVD into Microsoft SYNC and let it do its thing for a few seconds.

* Go to your main page where it shows the Ford logo. Touch the Ford logo.

* Press "add" to add the new pictures.

* You will see a screen pop up confirming you understand the requirements of the photos. If any of your pics on the disc do not meet this criteria they will not show up on the next screen. Touch "OK" and your pictures should show up on the list.

* You can select which pictures you want to add or select - you can press "add all"

* Your pics will appear on the right side and you can select a pic and delete it or edit it.

* If you press "Edit" you will be able to zom in and out, rotate and move up or down and more.
