- Easy to use...but doesn't work!!
- Innovage Digital Photo Keychain Bought as a "Stocking Filler" Christmas present to send back to UK. Installed on PC Windows XP with no problems at all. The interface to add pictures was also very easy to do. Unfortunately, although it has been on charge for the recommended 7 hours and the green light is on to state fully charged, it only works when plugged into PC!! It is supposed to power up after holdong on/off switch for three seconds. Not a handy keychain really if the PC has to be attached permanantly! Disappointed.

- Very disappointing
- It gets one star for the idea....After I purchased 2 keychains for parents, I decided to load pics for them. Good thing. After much difficulty, I searched for this brand online and found people having multiple problems. After reading and researching, I was able to load it on my Mac. I had difficulty opening photo viewer, but not knowing what I did different, finally got it to work. I downloaded photos, tried to transfer them, again problems. I never got the pics onto the keychain, so I returned them. After the hours of trying to figure it out, I will buy a different brand AFTER I search to make sure it doesn't have as many problems.

- Very Happy Customer.
- I bought this item on line,I am sorry that I only got one,because of the deal that I got on a on-line door buster. I did not have trouble with the instalation of the software on my Dell. I found the software easy to use and the keychain very neat!! I will look for a deal on this item again so that I can get it for some gifts.

- program not found
- I bought one of these just to try it out, before I bought 3 or 4 for gifts. I was going to preload photos, but when I try to open the program, it gives me a "program not found". I've tried multiple times unistalling & installing, even tried other peoples "tricks" by hooking up the key chain to the USB before opening program... to no avail...am continuing to have the same problems. Any body have any other advice before I return this.

- Not bad, once you figure it out
- I decided to review this because I had a hard time figuring out how to use this, and I basically pieced it together based on other reviews. Consider this a "how to" for those PC owners who are frustrated and don't want to take it back:
1) Go to mscustomercare.com, click on "Innovage Digital Photo Keychain," then download the "Photo Viewer Install." Try to save the .zip file to your desktop for easy finding/access.
2) Once it is downloaded, open the .zip file, click on "photo viewer" folder, then click "setup." Let the program run. It will put an icon on your desktop called "Photoviewer." Don't bother clicking on that right now.
3) Plug in the USB cord, then plug in the device. A blue screen will pop up on the device. (If it doesn't, then click the power button first). Choose the "USB Charge" option. Allow the device to charge for at least an hour. [The booklet says to let it charge up to 7 hours first, but I found that this isn't necessary].
4) After an hour (or longer), click the power button on the device. Another blue screen will pop up, along with some options. At this point, you can program the date and time.
5) Next, unplug the USB from the device, then from the computer. Then re-plug in the USB cord into your computer, and then into the device. Then turn on the device. Choose the "USB Update" option. At this point, your computer should automatically detect the device as storage hardware, and will automatically configure itself. (I have Windows XP, btw.)
6) After the computer finishes configuring itself, you will be able to open the Photoviewer program. (As you probably know, most people say that trying to open the program before doing this will result in a "no program detected, will terminate" or similar message.) Anyway, if all goes well--which it should--the program will open and you can then upload your pictures onto the device. It's really quite easy and self-explanatory.
7) A good rule of thumb is to save all of your pictures in a folder, in the order you want them to be on the device. Perhaps even better would be to resize or photoshop them before hand for maximum viewing quality. For example, the pictures I have that are close-up headshots look really great and fit nicely/clearly, while the ones I have of lots of people are not so clear. In fact, you can barely see some people's faces.
8) Once you are done cropping and adding your pictures, hit "synchronize" and it will put them on the device. Once it finishes, it will tell you. Just close the program then, and safely remove the hardware from your computer (click on the icon on your computer tray). Once you safely remove it, I prefer to just plug it in again, and choose "USB Charge," until the battery is fully charged and the light is green.
So, with some planning and patience, this device can work out pretty well. It took some time to figure this out, but I am happy to pass it on, as knowing this would have saved me some serious time. I am quite happy with it, and will be sending it to my cousin who is serving in the Marines in Iraq. :) - 2007-12-04, 26 of 26 people found this review helpful, Rated:
