I have a mac, I erased my flipvideo images via the mac trash can (oh what a mistake) after transferring them to the mac.
Now
I get the stupid message that the camcorder is empty, and when Itry and
shoot anything, I get a message its full. Did you ever find theanswer?
I found the solution!
Just put the Flip camera back into any computer on which you deleted files — then, with the Flip camera still attached, empty your trash bin.
All of the time comes right back. The only catch is if you have deleted files on many different computers. At some point, you will have to go back to those computers, insert the Flip, empty the trash and then you'll get your minutes back.
It's awesome. I am back in love with the Flip.
GERSH

after charging all night when I turn it on it says batteries are low and then shuts off right away
If you look on the bottom of the camera there is a button that slides from a locked to an unlocked position. Slide it to unlocked and then slide down the back of the camera (the side with the lens) there is a removeable rechargeable battery pack. Remove it for a moment and then put it back in. Try plugging back into the USB port. This should work.

after recording something we pressed stop recording but the red light did not go away we freaked out and tried to turn it off but it wouldn't go we just let it sit there in the morning it was off. i tried to turn on but it didn;t turn on so i plugged it in to my computer and it didn't regester it and nothing happened it wont turn on!!!! help!!!
Have you tried resetting the camera? Hold down the power button and the red button simultaneously until the camera shuts off (takes about 10 seconds). Then, just press the power button again and the camera should turn back on. I had the same problem; when I pressed the red button to stop recording, the camera froze, and the red light remained on. I tried resetting it like this, and it seemed to work.

Have got Flip mino that Iused today to video the kids enjoying the snow. When I got home and tried to down load it to laptop it would not turn on.
Not sureif it wasleft on after filming and battery ran down???? If this was the case, how long does it need to charge before it will switch on again???? Thanks
I had the same problem. Here are the steps I took to fix it.
1. Adjust the power options on your laptop to ensure it does not sleep/hiberate ever.
2. Reset the camcorder by inserting a paperclip into the hole in the
tripod mount. Hold the paperclip in there for about seven seconds.
3. Then immediately plug the flip into the cpu.
4. You may not see anything besides the little blinking white light on
the USB arm for a while (about 30 minutes maybe) but leave it in.
5. Eventually it should spring to life and show the recharging battery
on the little screen (the Flip Share program may start too.)
6. Leave it charging until the little white light stops flashing - full charge about 3 hours.
7. You can then remove the flip and change the power settings back to normal.

Flip Video not working. Tried to turn on and thought batteries were dead - replaced with new and still not turning on. Plugged into computer via USB and it was not recognised. Plugged into TV to play videos and also not recognised.
For the Flip Ultra - Take out batteries you should see a flat somewhat square piece of metal with a small black piece sticking up from it. Take a pencil and push the black piece down wait a few minutes then try turning your flip back on.

my flip hd ultra (brand new) wont charge...usb from my mac or from a ipod charger.
I had the same problem, but it seemed to be a bit more sporadic. I'd occasionally get the "Charging Paused - Check Battery Pack" error. The battery pack itself looks a bit strange, since the white plastic covers the bottom, right side and it seems that there is no possible way for the battery to make contact with the camera. However, I saw the following suggestion on another site (which the poster claimed came from Flip technical support), and this technique worked for me:
1) remove the battery pack from the camcorder
2) connect the camcorder to a powered USB port on your computer
3) when the "Connected" indicator comes on, insert the battery pack into the camcorder
4) safe eject your camcorder from your computer
5) reconnect your camcorder to your computer
6) the battery pack should now begin to charge within the camcorder

Brand new Flip Ultra HD. Giving error "Check Battery Pack Charging paused" after 30 seconds of plugging into the USB port of my computer. This USB port DOES support high power.
check the contacts on the bottom of the pack. for some reason, the plastic sheathing covers the positve contact of one of the batteries. i took an xacto knife and cut a small hole to expose that end. after that, voila, no more charging problem. i woke up to a full charge this morning!!!

I am charging my new Flip Ultra HD battery pak for the first time. The charging light is flashing, non-stop. I thought the light was supposed to NOT flash while charging. Also, should the camera screen be lit up while charging? If I need to charge the battery pak for 7 hours (as per the instructions), won't this be bad for my camera screen to be lit up for so long?
1) remove the battery pack from the camcorder
2) connect the camcorder to a powered USB port on your computer
3) when the "Connected" indicator comes on, insert the battery pack into the camcorder
4) safe eject your camcorder from your computer
5) reconnect your camcorder to your computer
6) the battery pack should now begin to charge within the camcorder
