  • Why won’t the Eye-Fi Manager stay open on Windows Vista?

    If after logging into your Eye-Fi Manager account you see the following message you may be running an anti-virus application that is not compatible with the Eye-Fi Manager because it prevents the Eye-Fi Manager from accessing the computer hard drive.

    To remedy this, disable the anti-virus software application or enable it to “allow” the Eye-Fi Manager access to your hard drive.

    At the time of writing the following anti-virus software applications are known to be incompatible with the Eye-Fi Manager software.


    Because you cannot change the settings on these free anti-virus software applications, you cannot enable the Eye-Fi Manager to access your hard drive. Uninstalling the anti-virus software is the only known resolution. In order to use the Eye-Fi manager software these application must be removed from a computer running Microsoft Vista.

  • According to the Eye-Fi Manager website, some of my photo uploads are incomplete. What do I do?

    A: If your camera powers OFF or moves out of range before a photo upload is completed, the upload will be reported as incomplete. Incomplete photo uploads will resume (right where they left off) when the camera is next in-range and powered ON. In addition, if you delete a photo while it is being uploaded, it will continue to appear as an incomplete upload on the Manager website.

    Note: We recommend that you check the power setting on your camera to give your Lexar Shoot-n-Sync Card enough time to upload your photos. For instructions on changing your camera power setting, please click on the link below.
