I have the CC and I just tried to update from V39 on the original card from the CC on my mac to V40 and now all I get is a flashing white screen on the commander, any help would be appreciated. Unzipped the file transferred it to the card and now it wont work :cry:

In my experience, a flashing white screen means the card is not inserted properly/fully.

Check that it is fully seated, also try the process over from the beginning. You will at least need to clear that card, and reload the PCBUFF folder.

Thank you for your quick response, I reinserted the card and it seats just great, so my next step was to transfer the PCBUFF folder from my mac desktop onto the card still no luck, flashing white screen. Formatted the card thru image rescue, dropped Pauls folder back onto the card, inserted it back in the CC now it won't turn on :(

I finally got it fixed on my friends PC, but it wouldn't let me do FAT16 never the less it now works. Now if there where a tutorial on how the flash meter yellow dots worked I would be a very happy camper, understand the rest of it, but the yellow dots have me confused.

FAT on a PC is FAT16. FAT on a MAC is FAT32. FAT32 on a PC is labeled as such.

When you meter one channel, a yellow dash appears in that channel. Since the reading is not directly related to the relatiive power of the light, it can be anywhere on the collumn, without regard to the blue bar. Where it appears is related to the yellow numbers on the left. If the meter reading is f/11 at the top, then the yellow dash appears even with the "11" on the side. If you raise or lower the flash power, the yellow dash changes as well. If you move to a different channel, the dash remains as reference since the meter readingat the top would be for a different light. Dashes are not affected by metering in ALL or GRP settings. However, if a group of lights is changed, the affected yellow dashes wil increase or decrease as appropriate. Metering one light at a time is for ratios. For the camera setting, you would meter ALL. Once all lights are metered, you can adjust power globally, and in ratio.
