Tom,

No worries, I figured as much. That is why I included Mac OS and iOS. Hope you get some air time in soon. We are looking as some windy / stormy weather here later this week. Nothing like Sandy, man I feel for the northeast.

Re: Procedure for creating a back-up SD card for the 720

Thanks for all the info on the SD card. I have a couple of questions; hopefully someone has answers.

1) Can we use a 32GB SD card? This would hold so much more information, and leads to the second question.

2) Can we copy all the music files onto this larger SD card? This, obviously, eliminate needing the USB for the music files.

Thanks.

Charlie,

I've not tested with a 32gb card, but I have with a 16gb card. I've answered your questions below. Just know that for the 720 or 700 with iFly Streets, you cannot move iFly Streets as it is licensed to the SD card. Maybe keep it and label it iFly Streets.

There is no reason it shouldn't work. Just make sure that 32gb card is in Fat 32 format.
Yes, you can put the Music and Movies on the SD card. I would make a Folder on the Root of the SD card for Movies and Music. This way you don't mix up the iFly files.

Just be very careful when accessing files on the SD card. This is where all data that the iFly needs for run is housed. If you accidentally remove a file, the iFly will likely not work.
