how can i fix my Flip video camera if its displaying an incorrect "time remaining"?

i use an imac, (the big sliver one) my flip is the first version, model F260W. i have sent it in to the company once before to get it fixed but the problem has come back and I'm not interested in sending it off for 2 months again. when i turn on the device, it says, no time remaining. but when i try to watch the video supposedly on the device, it says, camcorder empty.

I found this information regarding your problem on amazon-

Connect your camcorder to your computer and open your DCIM/100VIDEO folder. This folder contains the videos from your Flip Video camcorder. When your videos are manually renamed within this folder, they are no longer recognized by the Flip Video program. Please ensure that all videos in this folder are carrying their original name. For example, VID#####.AVI where ##### is any number between 00001 and 99998. Then, delete all videos you have previously saved from this folder. Your videos cannot be retrieved once they are deleted, so please make sure you have the videos you wish to keep saved into another folder before doing this.

Also make sure you have deleted any videos that reside outside of the DCIM/100VIDEO folder within your camcorder's root directory.

After you have deleted all videos, disconnect your camcorder and check on your record time. If you have still not regained your full record time, please reconnect your camcorder and empty your "trash can". Then, power your camcorder on and off 8 times.
