Wireless Transmitting Photos

[ominblue]

I'm using WT-4A to transmit images to my Mac. The setup cannot transmit to Win 7 and some intermitten problems with Vista. XP SP2 32bit works best.

Setting is easy and almost idiot proof.

You must share how you set it up for your comp? What is the OS you are using? Which version? Without more detailed info nobody can offer a solution to your problem.

Hi, Lucky got you to advice. I am using a 13" mac aluminium late 2008 series. Mac OS snow leopard 10.6.4
So can you advice how? I need it in restaurant and probably the rest is w/o any wifi..

Used the WT-4A before at my church event to do instant photo printout. This is what the company (LiveStudios) who sponsored did for us.

1. Setup wireless router (reason because computer / lappy intermittently will drop if you wanna utilize the share wireless connectivity function aka fake router
2. Have lappy setup to received FTP connections
3. Attach your WT-4A and power on, and setup your wireless connection, setup your ftp connection (userid/password)
4. Shoot away
5. After each shot, you should have the preview on your LCD press "OK" and you will see a Green Flash Icon, press again to see BLUE that
would indicate your file is transferring. (Can't remember the response for transfer OK or FAIL, maybe can check manual)

I shot RAW at the event itself and it took less than 3sec to successfully transfer the file over (FTP connections usually uses max bandwidth available fyi)

You should try it. It's fun!
