    took some pictures on my new camera, downloaded them onto pc into kodakshare album file, they deleted automatically off the camera.
    went into photobucket to transfer and upload the pics and they are not in my pictures.
    does anyone know how i can transfer them from that kodak file to my pictures so that i can copy them over to gc.
    help help help anyone.

    Without knowing how Kodakshare organises the files and folders it's difficult to advise you Rosa. I would have thought that the application would copy each set of photos from your camera into a new folder in Kodakshare. If this is the case you oought to be able to locate the folder and simply copy it into 'My Pictures'. If as you say you can copy them across one at a time, you can presumably see more than one in the source folder, in which case you'll probably be able to either use 'Ctrl+A' to select 'all' or use 'shift + click' to select a group one by one and then drag and drop, or use 'Ctrl+C (copy) and then 'Ctrl+V' to paste into the new (My Pictures) folder.
    Personally I don't like using the applications like Easyshare that come with cameras and I just treat the camera like an additional drive and just drag and drop from the camera into a folder I've created on my desktop which once the photos have been copied across, I then drop into 'My Pictures'.

    I have uninstalled kodak share software, took a picture with the new camera and downloaded a picture and it has come straight up into my pictures, so that problem is solved.

    I think we've had this discussion before about using third party software. I've tried Kodak software and find it very intrusive and not very user friendly. When in Windows, use the software Windows provides, it's simple and it works.

    terrier yes we have had this conversation before in the past, but as time goes on we have a tendancy to forget especially myself when buying a new camera.
    I had problems a while ago when i bought my fuji, the only software i have installed is my sony and its not intrusive, however my fuji software used to fight with the sony software so i uninstalled that, the kodak software didnt fight with others but it had its own way and it went on my pc were it wanted to upload and didnt put my pictures in my picture album aswell as kodak album.

    Having prevoiusly had a Kodak 6440 (a good little camera) and now the Panasonic FZ7 I gave up with the software provided and use Windows own programme to upload. Inhouse Advisor had a Cybershot but needeD a bigger screen so now has a Samsung, she also only uses the Windows software and we never have the trouble we had from provided ones.
