Picasa importing

Anonymous — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 18:38:15 GMT

Apologies, but I'm going to hijack the forum to ask an unrelated question! Does anyone know how the hell I get Picasa to import from my phone's SD card? By default it goes to phone memory, where there are no photos. If I 'import from folder' and navigate the DCIM folder on my SD card, it tells me there are no files - there are hundreds! Picasa is quite annoying 😞

I've asked for your un related post to be placed on the forum in its own thread, so this one remains on topic. It them keeps everything simple.

I don't use picasa ......sorry ~ have you tried Google ?

I've asked for this to be made into a new thread.

Sorry, yes, I shouldn't have posted that. Shall I move it? I'm still working on isolating the problem to a specific number or specific network, and I'm also waiting for my contact to delete my details. I'll let you know the outcome of both 🙂

No need to move it, the mods will do that for you.

Many thanks for the Picasa link, will check that later. Back to the main problem. Three things ... first, I have successfully exchanged texts with someone on the T mobile network, so the network-specific theory is dead! Second, the business of not being able to call the specific number is also a red herring - it seems that my friend was in a poor signal area for an extended period earlier today, so that probably explains the straight to voicemail response I got. Third, my friend deleted my contact details and I then sent a text message, which has not been received. Her phone is a Galaxy S4 Mini - does anyone have any thoughts on things to check on that phone? Are there block/spam settings that could somehow persist, even after my contact details were deleted from her phone?

This is becoming frustrating! Would appreciate any advice

They need to open the text message app and look in the settings there for the blocked list of numbers.

Phones with blocking features have separate settings to block calls and block texts.

Perform what MI5 has suggested.

If both blocking features are clear of your number then please let us know so we can help you look in to other avenues.

Morning all, I'm afraid I've been wasting the forum's time - somehow my friend's phone had assigned my number to a spam list! Not sure how it happened, and we thought we'd checked that possibility, but a second check revealed the problem. That's a good result really, as I wasn't sure where to go next with the investigation! Thanks for your help folks

regards

Glad you got there in the end. There is usually a simple resolution but none are a waste of time
