So the Eye-Fi card apparently needs a pretty strong signal from the wireless Access Point in order to work. The Mac itself showed five or five bars, and a neighboring PC showed connection strength as "very good".
The application loaded fine and found my wireless network, but at a signal strength of only two of five bars.

I first tried to install the Eye-Fi Manager into my iMac24.
If "upload to web" is turned off when the camera uploads to the computer, you then have to manually upload pictures to your web service.īelow is a screen that shows recent uploads both to the web and to the local computer. I turned "Upload to Web" back on, but now Eye-Fi Manager did not automatically upload the new pictures. Within half a minute or so, the new pictures were uploaded into my computer. As is, I took the camera and walked around my house, taking more pictures, then returned to the computer. That way you can wait and enable uploading for when it is convenient. You can also instruct the Eye-Fi Manager to not upload pictures to the computer. Under "Advanced" in Settings, you can click to add the tag "Eye-Fi" to photos for services that support tags. Now obviously you may not want all your pictures sent to a photo sharing service sight-unseen, and this can be done by changing the setting so that web upload is not automatic. On Eye-Fi Manager you can check your upload history, add more wireless network profiles to the Eye-Fi card in Settings where you can also add or remove online photo services, change camera power settings so it won't turn off before uploads are completed, and there's also a Help section. It shows image file number and upload progress in percent. The little window at the right bottom pops up when the Eye-Fi card uploads pictures into your computer. Below you can see the screen that instructs what to do after initial configuration.

I then proceeded to Eye-Fi Manager and found that the card and software had not only uploaded the four pictures I had taken to my computer, but also already to PhotoBucket (which I had authorized). Unfortunately, only a blank space followed, so the Eye-Fi software must not have the instructions for all cameras.

Eye-Fi Manager alerted that I should make sure my Casio (it figured that out by itself what camera I was using) should be set so it wouldn't turn off during long file transfers and offered a step-by-step procedure on how to change the settings on the camera. Amazingly, almost as soon as I'd taken them, they were automatically uploaded into my PC. So I placed the Eye-Fi card into one of my digital cameras and took a few sample pictures. Eye-Fi Manager then prompts you to remove the card from the reader and place it into your digital camera.īelow you can see the Eye-Fi configuration screen: That will be the one where pictures on the card will be uploaded to. The next step was to select a folder on the computer the Eye-Fi is connected to. I picked PhotoBucket, Eye-Fi Manager connected to it, I entered my login and password and saved the relevant information. You can then either connect to the service, skip that step, or select a different service. If you pick a service, the Eye-Fi Manager will display instructions on how to access that particular service. You are then prompted to select from a number of available web photo sites. You can then choose which of them to add to the Eye-Fi card (if you go elsewhere, you can easily add more networks).
The Eye-Fi Manager then checks your firewall and looks for available wireless networks. In each case you're asked to set up an account with your email, name and a chosen password. On a PC it creates the Eye-Fi application that uses Internet Explorer as its browser. After you start it, it will launch the browser (as of now, it doesn't like Safari and wants Firefox 2.x instead). On the Mac, it will be a dmg file that creates the Eye-Fi Manager application that you then drag into the applications folder. To get started, you simply plug the reader with the Eye-Fi card into a PC or Mac, and an Eye-Fi application will automatically load. The bright-orange Eye-Fi card comes with its own small USB card reader. And without being forced to use a specific photo sharing site. All without needing one of those special wireless-enabled cameras or even a special menu on the camera.

The idea here is to give you a storage card that can wirelessly upload your pictures from any camera that uses SD cards for storage to any Windows or Mac OSX computer. And it is just that, a standard, regular SD card, no longer or thicker than any other SD card.

They combined 2GB of storage and a full 802.11b/g wireless radio on a single SD card. Why hasn't anyone else ever thought of this? The folks at Eye-Fi Inc. 2GB of storage and WiFi in a standard SD Card!
