Hi Nanuq
"Obviously only applies to iPhone users."Then presumably it doesn't apply to
ME! I ventured into unknown territory yesterday, borrowed Barbara's phone to take some photos of my new drive. It took several attempts, returning to Barbara's "sick chair" after each attempt, for her to reset her phone. It's a different world
out there in here.
Eventually, I used my camera to take some pics, so she could see what had been going on outside.
It then came to pass, that I had to take Wilkie to my daughter's house (about three miles), so my grandson could take him for his daily walk (and earn some pocket money .. £5 per "sortie").
On my return, I found Barbara had sneaked into
my study indoor man cave, and had found my "one legged spider", for down-loading my camera to my lap-top., similar to devices already pictured on this thread. It appears to be called a MAXELL USB COMBO (last two words not easy to read, despite being in circa 16 point). It been several years and probably two house moves, since I last saw this device. I've forgotten how to use it.
OK, it's obvious how to plug it into my lap-top, and then insert the camera's memory "chip" thingy into this thingy. I will let you know how I get on ... assuming my PC survives my fumblings.
OT, but related by photos (I hope). Our builder has lifted the drive by several inches, outside our front door, so in theory, Barbara can now exit the house. I have been "advised" that
SHE will be driving me into Whaddon, to collect my Freelander. This will be the first time since the day before Lock Down was introduced, that she will venture forth, which will include the transfer from her wheel-chair into her car. Probably best if we take a traditional wheel chair with us. Watch this space! She'll be demanding to come to pub-meets, next.
OT2, I'll mention in it's correct thread too ... New clutch fitted to Freelander, plus removal of nasty noise from transmission ... a smidgen over £1,500. Barbara paid that too (again while I was out - I know my place), by credit card over the phone.
OT3. I recently mentioned that LV agreed a reduction in our insurance premiums, due to lock-down. Statement arrived, from a CC company (that we stopped using over a year ago) showing a debit of £35.
Investigation revealed that it was a DEBIT against a DEBIT, and therefore a CREDIT.
Problem. We don't have that card anymore. We requested this CC, as all other accounts are in Barbara's name, and if she "popped her clogs", I would be left without any plastic. In the event, Barbara is still with me, the card was never used, and I couldn't find a MK branch of that bank, so we zero'd the balance, and chopped the card. Doh! I'm guessing that £35 will just sit there.
For our foreign readers, and possibly some young UK readers, during the Great Depression, if a man died, his wife would grab his now redundant boots, and dash down to the local pawn shop, and borrow money against them, before the news spread. Becoming "deceased" became known as "popping your clogs".
I plugged my camera's thingy into the SDHC card holder slot, the plugged everything into my lap-top.
"No answer!" was the stern reply. Ziltch!
Unplug, and wait for another day. "LMF", as they say in the Militatry,
