I tried that with one I have but it won't show up do u have to have one specificand does it matter which slot u put it in.

hit the triangle button when you highlight the usb device under the picture section and your ps3 folder should pop up with your pics

JLaSoul · 01-31-2009, 01:09 AM

The light on the device doesn't even come on when connected and under photos it doesn't say there is a device connected. The description on the usb device says sd/mmc/rs-mmc usb 2.0. Ususally the light has to come one to show it is connected to the pc.

bandit29 · 01-31-2009, 01:12 AM

So the USB drive isn't powering at all? Hmm...sorry can't help ya

cdot2four · 01-31-2009, 01:15 AM

under the photos section mine has

search for media
usb (usb flash drive)
playlist.

are you saying when you have your usb hooked to the ps3 it doesnt have "usb (usb flash drive)" it just has search then playlist under the photo section????

JLaSoul · 01-31-2009, 01:18 AM

no that really sucks, but I appreciate your help man, any more suggestions.

JLaSoul · 01-31-2009, 01:19 AM

yeah it doesn't show usb(flashdrive) under there just search media which I did just in case and playlist.

JLaSoul · 01-31-2009, 01:20 AM

what kind of usb connecter do you have and is it cheap lol.

Shin-Ra · 01-31-2009, 01:20 AM

I don't think anything will show up in the XMB until you have a card inserted to the USB card reader.

Don't you have a regular USB flash drive?

cdot2four · 01-31-2009, 01:25 AM

i just bought a 2gb one for like $15. u can get some cheap ones for under $10 it just matters how many gb you want

Yeah I have my sd card in there and I don't know what kind of reader it is I got it free with my sd card from a seller on amazon it works when it's connected to my pc. I can take a pic of it if needed. And I put the device in the usb port where we connect our controllers to charge.

JonD7 · 01-31-2009, 02:09 AM

a PSP would work to.

brett_day · 01-31-2009, 02:14 AM

use a media extender like pms. install it on your pc and then just copy the pics across from your computer to the ps3, thats what i do! works like a charm

vektar · 01-31-2009, 02:18 AM

if you have a pic on your ps3 already just click copy and pick the usb thing, so if theres no option to save to the usb flash stick then its probably broken. If you dont have a pic on your ps3 just go to a website like yahoo pics and just save any pic to your ps3 that way then copy it to the flashdrive.

richieb1971 · 01-31-2009, 02:53 AM

If your techie then use PMS/Tversity/Windows media player to stream the pictures across your network. (Thats of course if you have a router). If you want to find out more about this option then just ask anyone.

If your not techie. Just buy a cheap USB stick from any PC store. Put a directory on it called "PICTURE" in upper case. Drag all the pictures to it via your PC and then copy them to your PS3.

With the new photo gallery, you should be able to access your pictures straight from the camera, although I have not tried it.

To do this, put the USB cable you got with your camera and put that into the USB slot of the PS3, put the other end in the camera and follow the prompts. See what happens. Photo gallery was on Firmware 2.6.

Danv1369 · 01-31-2009, 05:37 AM

If you use an online photo site (like Kodak Gallery or PhotoBucket) you can use the PS3 browser to go to the site, view your pics and save them to your PS3 HDD. Hit triangle and there is an option for saving the picture or file.

You can also burn the pics you want onto a CD and copy the to the HDD that way.

Pepelutivruski4 · 01-31-2009, 08:12 PM

yikes, no SD slots....?

umm you could do a USB jumpdrive but it takes 10x longer than an SD slot transfer would take.

These blueproton usb sleeves work great for SD cards. I see no reason to buy a dedicated USB stick when you can get an SD card and put it into one of these, or even buy a combo pack. I've been using one for a year and my mom has been using one for about 2 years. I personally have the second item there, that 4GB combo pack. My 8GB Transcend brand SD card works great in it as well. it allows my SD cards to work multiple duty in cameras, PS3, and PC.
