My photobank will not charge at all. I've tried different wall chargers... nothing works!! It seems like it's dead. I have so many years of pictures on there! Are they retrievable?

My photobank had died due to lack of use and a friend's solution was to just take it apart and unsnap the hard drive from the USELESS mother board and find a hard drive enclosure with USB outs and boot it onto your desktop. My pictures were there and now I have 40 gigs of storage. The company should have gone out of business for all the grief they are still causing the buyers of this inconvience.

Have 40 gig photobank smartdisk, trying to download memory sticks,loaded with photos. but as i attempt on my macbook.......a download site called 'bounceback' pops up. can you tell me what i should do ?

For "bounceback", see: http://www.cmsproducts.com/products/backup_software/bounceback/bounceback_mac.html

BounceBack is software to simplify the process of making backup copies of your files.

Click "Cancel", and then use whatever software & methods of your choice, e.g., "drag-and-drop", to copy your files from your internal disk-drive to the external storage.

Lossing firmware.because i format.digitalphotobank model PB#40 smartdisk

The Photobank must be formatted in FAT32 to work. If you formatted in any other format, go to http://sdkbase.smartdisk.com/display/2n/index.asp?c=cpc=e72ylkXWR8u0YnrbMviY&cpc=&cid=1&r=0.8182337

You will see a file on the right hand side... It is a short program that will reformat the drive in FAT32. Just follow the directions on the page

Hope this works for you/

You cannot reformat using Windows or your card reader will not longer work. You need to use the Fat32 formatting tool. It's still available on the Verbatim website (They bought SmartDisk)
http://www.verbatim.com/support/support.cfm?open=Downloads
Select-Hardware Storage-Portable Drives. You should see a heading on the right for Downloads. Select the Verbatim Fat32 download tool. Download the tool. Connect your PhotoBank to your computer with the mini-USB cable and then run the Fat32 tool you just downloaded. Follow the prompts to reformat the PhotoBank. Your card reader and hard drive will be good as new.
