Copying audio files to SD memory card

I have a 1GB Secure Digital card connected with a card reader. I converted an audio book CD to mp3 files using iPhoto. When I try to copy the mp3 files to the empty SD card, after 75 files and 342 MB, this message appears: "The item cannot be copied because there is not enough free space."
I can fill this card to capacity with JPEG files.

I also have this same problem on multiple SD cards and readers, although there is no such problem when I transfer the files on to the same cards with a Windows PC! I've also noticed that my Powerbook G4 puts an additional file for each audio track that uses no data, but just lists the file name again. It would be GREAT if someone could figure this out!!! Thanks!

How can I import or download AVCHD files on a memory card to FCE?

How can I import or download AVCHD files on a memory card to FCE?

What camera is this from? Make sure it is actual AVCHD and not some variant such as AVCHD Lite which is not supported.
Also, try this: In the Log and Transfer Pane, click on the Gear icon do set the preferences and set the Import
Preferences > AVCHD Plugin > AC3 Audio to Plain Stereo.
You can also download a trial version of Clipwrap and see if by converting the files to AIC with that software, then importing the files to FCE you have better luck.

When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.

When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images. Have tried new card and card-reader to no avail. Have done this many times on other macs with no problems.
Can edit files off the card, in CameraRaw, prior to 'copying' them, ie can 'save as' to the hard drive, so files seem okay on card, before I try to copy them using copy and paste.
Running OS 10.8.3 on a new macbook pro.

Rita,
The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
Hope this helps.

Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
Instructive documentation - not very good.
Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
Could use timer tracking of the record process.
Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

C5-03; how to view music files in the memory card ...

Is it possible to view the files in the memory card (using the File Manager) folder-wise? I have some music files in the memory card; in a folder named 'Music'. When I go to Menu - Applications- Office- File mgr - E:Memory car-Music , I see the files in different collections corresponding to the artist/ genre names. I don't see the folders I had created. The artist/ genre (meta) data is not accurate and so the listing based on that is not useful.
This is related to the problem with Palylists I had posted earlier.

go to music player select options and refresh player this will pick up all the music
you will get a message on screen for example 40 songs added the go to music player select all songs
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Files deleted on memory card

Hi,
I just got a Nokia N73 and a 2GB memory card. One day i took the sim card out and put it in another phone and then back into my N73. First the phone asked for time and date information and then i saw that all my files on the memory card was gone? I repeated the operation again later, but it did not happen again. Is this a problem with this phone? I had y-browser installed...is this application known to cause problems like this?

Yes, the memory card seemed to be the problem. It's a TwinMOS card which is a brand that I have used many times before, so it was just bad luck. I traded in my card for a new one that seems to be working better. Things that seemed to slow down when i used the previous card suddenly works great Never owned a Symbian phone before so didn't know how good i was supposed to work

Internet temp files/cache on memory card

To remove encryption from the files in the memory card

Hello,
Yesterda I checked the opcion of encryption on my BB. Today I had problems when synchronizing the data between the PC and the BB, all my data was deleted from the phone (not from the memory card) and I now I have deactivated the encryption check on the BB settings.
The problem is that when I start my BB the BB asks me for the encryption key which was used to encrypt the data in the memory card, and therefore I want to get removed from the need of this encryption key, therefore I need to desencrypt all the files from the memory card.
how can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Monica

You can drag them out of dock, at least 2 inches or so up and then hold until there is a puff of smoke - they'll be gone.

That's working as intended. To delete it from the original location when done, press the Command key while dragging.

"Copying audio files"

So why is that sometimes, when I'm working with software synths, logic will decide that in order to save, it must copy audio files from the samples?

I just posted this answer in another thread:
There is a little box at the bottom of the Save menue called "include assets", tick that and a dropdown menue opens giving you various possibilities which assets to save with your project.

How to Transfer Audio Files to microSD Media Card???

I purchased music online and dowlnloaded them, then created a playlist within Roxio Media Manager. I first tried transferring them to my phone (device), but there wasn't enough disc space. So I bought a microsd media card and have been trying to save the music to the card with no luck.
When I view my devices it show the phone with the folders: Music, Pictures, Ringtones, and Videos and then it show a seperate "drive" that says media card. However i have tried copying the music to that drive, but am told it can't transfer files as it's a read only drive!
I've looked all through the help pages and basically did what it told me to do, but it's just not working. Should the media card being showing in the list itself?????
I'm going crazy!!!
Don't know if it matters, but I'm running firefox and windows 2000.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
please try to connect the device with the usb cable to the PC.
then go to "My Computer" and select the drive for the memory card. then you see the folders that are currently on the microsd-card.
then select the audio folder and copy the songs in there.
then disconnect the device from your pc and to go media -> audio. there you will find the files.
If your question was answered, please accept it as a sollution and / or give Kudos ;-)

How do I specify folder and file options for memory cards in LR4?

Hello!
I have read the sections Set import and file-handling preferences and Specify Auto Import settings in the manual. But they don't seem to answer my question. The other stuff that's written about importing files in Lightroom seem to only cover the import of photos to the Lightroom catalog, which is not my primary concern, although I do want them imported to the catalog as well. But before the photos can go to the Lightroom catalog they need to be improted, in other words copied over from the memory card to the local disk drive. Simply put, all I want is for Lightroom to take over the responsibility from Canon EOS Utility and behave the same way when importing/copying files to the local disk drive. How do I set up Lightroom to do just that?
I just want this type of folder and file structure:
J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0037.JPG
J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0039.JPG
J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.CR2
J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.JPG
J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.CR2
J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.JPG
J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.CR2
J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.JPG
... etc!
1. First things first, where the heck do I specify the destination folder for new photos?
There is an option titled Show import dialog when a memory card is detected under the General tab in Preferences, but there is no folder destination option associated with this.
2. How do I tell Lightroom to leave original file names as they are (i.e. IMG_2887.CR2) and place them in a new sub-folder (i.e. 2011_06_17) of the destination folder (J:\) named after the capture date of the photo (July 17, 2011)?
There are a few options under the File Handling tab in the Preferences, but they don't seem to concern the importation of files to the local disk drive.
3. This maybe should have been the first question really; is Lightroom capable of importing files from the camera or a card reader to the local disk drive at all?
I sure would expect it to be able to do that, but from the looks of it I am not too confident about that.
For starters I would like it to just copy my photo files, either directly from camera or from a card reader to a destination folder of my choice, in the same fashion that Canon EOS Utility does it. I don't wat to just import the files to the Lightroom catalog and start working with the files directly from camera or memory card. Hell no! It's not an external disk drive for God's sake!
Please advise!

I'm not sure how it is now, but there used to be a dedicated "photo downloader" in Adobe Photoshop Elements at least up to version 6. Is this still part of Photoshop Elements? Or is it just available in Adobe Bridge? I don't remember though if it only imported files to the local disk drive or if it also added them to the library/catalog.
I've tested Downloader Pro and Lightroom 4 now for importing the photos to local disk drive. I also tested one application called Cam2PC Image Downloader.
The latter is actually called Cam2PC Image Browser and as its name suggests it's a software for browsing and doing basic changes to the photos, an image organizer. But it has a dedicated downlaoder called Cam2PC Image Downloader that can be very useful for importing photos. It comes either as a payed version or a freeware version.
I also tested one called Smart Photo Import. This one could be a good alternative to Downloader Pro, but I think it still needs many improvements, and it lacks a lot of the functionality of Downloader Pro. But to be fair, this does cost half as much as Downloader Pro (13 EUR or 17 USD compared to 30 USD).
I am most impressed by Downloader Pro. It has everything I could ask for really. But I was most impressed by its speed. I've done a simple speed test to see which one is faster and here are the results.
Downloader Pro
324 files (162 JPG & 162 CR2)
Max speed: 21,25 MB/s
Time: 02:58.6
Lightroom 4
Set to render "Standard" previews
324 files (162 JPG & 162 CR2)
Max speed: N/A
Time: 03:41.7
Compared to Downloader Pro: 78% done at 02:58.6
Rendering time: 04:35.5
Total: 08:16.12
Cam2PC Image Downloader
324 files (162 JPG & 162 CR2)
Max speed: N/A
Time: 03:30.6
The max speed is the maximum transfer speed that ever occured during the transfer, and this is not something that the application is showing on it's own, it's the highest speed that I have seen with my own eyes. Unfortunately the other applications had no way of showing the speed, only Downloader Pro could show the speed. That's why it says N/A (as in not available).
As you can see Downloader Pro did the same job in shortest amount of time. Note that I could be transfering 2 or 3 cards worth of photos for the time it takes Lightroom to transfer just one.
The memory card was full when I started the test. It was a 4 GB Sandisk Ultra 30 MB/s card. The card reader was a Lexar USB 3.0 Professional. Although it was connected to a USB 2.0 port on Intel chipset motherboard (Intel X38, ICH9R). The destination folder was set to Desktop\(name of the application) on a Seagate 500 GB SATA (ST3500320AS) disk. All done on a Windows Vista PC with SP2.
One way to make Lightroom do this job more quickly is to choose "minimum" as previews rendering option. This way it doesn't spend as much time rendering the photos after being copied to the disk drive. Now, I have not tested this but I believe that Lightroom can start a second import of a second memory card whilst the first one is being copied. I'm not sure how it would affect the speed though, and you would need two card readers for this.
I wish I could skip rendering previews alltogether. I like to leave adding photos to the catalog and rendering previews for the last step. This is because it takes so long time and I like to use 1:1 previews, so I like leaving Lightroom to do this job in the morning or over the night.
I have learned to use prests now in the import dialog of Lightroom. So now it should not be a problem if I always want to copy new photos to the same location. If this location is changed I can recall it simply by choosing my preset. This is very handy.
All in all, Lightroom is very good at importing photos from camera or from a memory card reader to the local disk drive. But it's now my preferred way of importing photos to the computer. Which is why I have decided to purchase Downloader Pro. Thanks all for your help. I appreciate it!

Files missing after memory card switch

I recently bought a new memory card, and it seems that a number of files that came installed on my Nokia E52 have disappeared. Can anyone tell me how I can get them again? They are:
1. The "Grey" personal and business themes
2. The OEM version of Advanced Call Manager
I have tried copying various files backfrom the old memory card, but with no luck. The reason I was unable to make a proper backup is there is no backup function in the application for Mac as there is with PC Suite for Windows.
Thanks.

I've gotten two memory cards 2GB then 8GB and the same thing happened. Also, the backup in 'PC Suite' mode misses some files. So what I did was connect my phone in 'Data Transfer' (USB connection) and physically copy those files that I wanted to my pc then back to the new memory card. Should sort out most of your troubles.
Symbian connected me to the world, to my dreams.. Thank-you Nokia

Transfering recieved files to the memory-card!!!!

Hi,
I transfer files/pictures to my E71 via the Bluetooth but have a couple of problems!
1- If the file is bigger then the available phone memory (max 110 meg!) then i can't transfer! That i understand but does it exist any way to configure the phone to save the recieved files directly to the memory-card?
2- Those files that do get transfered to the phone, you have to open first before being able to transfer it ti the memory-card! Problem is some times the phone memory is not enough to even open it so you can't open it nor save it on the memory-card!
3- There seem to be NO "transfer file" option between the phone memory and the card memory!
Anyone knows something?
Cheer's

If you go into Messaging, hit Options, choose Settings and then Other, then you can change the "Memory in use" from phone memory to the memory card. After that all incoming messages will be stored on the memory card.
You can also use Nokia PC Suite and use its Windows Explorer extension (Nokia Phone Browser) to copy files directly to the memory card also over Bluetooth (without going through Messaging at all).
