[Hidden-tech] uncool 3GS

[David Korpiewski]

Hi Stacy,
   Generally when you are importing and it fails on one of the pictures, 
that means that picture or video is corrupted.  If you can slowly import 
until you find the one that quits, delete it, and then the rest should 
continue successfully.  I had the same problem.   Generally these 
corrupted pictures are caused when the phone is really really low on 
battery and you take that last shot and it turns off at exactly the same 
time its writing, it will write this half-picture-corrupted file that 
will lead to import errors.

Good luck
David
