5800 xpressmusic - transfering music files to pho...

I can transfer files from my phone to my PC, but whenever I try to transer files from my PC to my phone, or direct from CD to my phone, all I get from Nokia Music is an error message "Transfer completed with x errors", where x is the number of .mp3 tracks I was trying to transfer. I have updated the software versions.
Any tips please ?
*slowly pulling hair out*
[Edit] Does "Failed to get WPD parent object" mean anything to anyone?
When I'm in Media Transfer Mode, OVI wants me to change to PC Suite mode, but when I change to PC Suite mode, I have no connection to PC.[/Edit]

Solved!
Go to Solution.

if the software is causing you such pain, just copy the music files via USB, selecting Mass Storage mode when you connect the phone to your computer. All the ID3 tag information will be retained, all you have to do when finished transferring is go into the Music Player and select Refresh. Much easier, and much faster

Does 5800 Xpressmusic supports word files and acrobat reader files?One has to download the application manually to run these related files or these applications are already there in phone

You need Quickoffice to read MS Office files and Adobe Reader to read PDFs. Neither is preinstalled in the 5800XM, but you can download them from the phone's Download! application.

Zen Touch 40 GB: problems transferring music files and playli

Hi,
Creative Zen Touch 40 GB, one year old<
[color="#330000">PlaysForSure Firmware 2..0<
Creative MediaSource Organizer 5.0.38<
Creative?Sync Manager 5.0.9.0<
Windows XP Service Pack 2<
527?music (.wma) files on the player; 4205 MB of free space<
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to?transfer music files and playlists to my Zen Touch player now that the amount of free space on it has fallen below 5 GB. More often than not, it's necessary to put the player into Recovery mode, perform a clean-up, and then reboot and rebuild the library before Sync Manager works properly. I often need to repeat this process several times before I can transfer anything. Increasingly, too, Windows fails to detect the presence of the player when I connect it to my computer. Rebooting both the player and the computer usually fixes this issue. Transferring files by dragging and dropping in Windows Explorer is obviously much quicker than using Sync Manager, but here again I keep running into problems. It's as if the player freezes and refuses to take on-board any more files. Also, I can't find a way to transfer playlists except with Sync Manager. Are these known problems? I recalling running into similar issues with the Zen Touch 20 GB a few years ago. And could the fact that I'm doggedly using an old (998) and underpowered computer be an issue? I'm thinking of replacing the computer anyway, but is it likely that these synchronization problems would diminish or disappear altogether if I were to upgrade to something speedier?Thanks for any insights,Pete

I too have a simular problems! Managing music is the biggest problem with over 0 Gigs. Some artists songs sometimes change name titles, artists,?and etc. Win Explorer is most used by me now. Yes, I do lose sync from time to time! Especially when I open two windows on the portable zen. There are two tools that need. . Playlist management - it takes too long to do it on the player. I want to create "Gym Vibes" and had it on my old creative?Nomad player, but couldn't transfer. "Creative Sync Manager" doesn't do it!?Without all that sync stuff how can I create and edit creative's playlist on a PC?2. A method for detecting dupicates?This is my second creative portable and if I don't get the tools I won't buy another!

Transferring music/files from Iphone 3gs to new computer

Hi
I have previously transferred music form my ipod to an old laptop, both have since broken or been updated.... so lost the info for the website yamipod...I have had a look to help move everything but for some reason it doesn't work on my computer!! Wrong file and I tried installing two of three recommnded programs (FinalTorrent was one) it still wont let me do it....
I also checked out (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202) but it doesnt give me the options as shown on screen...
I don't know if I'm being thick (pregnancy brain!!) or not but i really need easy to follow help to save my music on my iphone!
Thanks Jules

Hi Jules,
You must use iTunes software only for syncing music to your iPhone. Yamipod is a third party iPod manager not supported by iTunes.
Since iTunes is dependent on your internet connection, I doubt that FinalTorrent will work.
Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements for an iPhone 3GS.
iPhone 3GS Tech Specs
Windows system requirements
PC with USB 2.0 port
Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

Transferring Music Files

I have been trying to transfer all my music files for the longest time. I have two mac's, Macbook Pro and the iMac. All my music is on my Macbook Pro and I want to get the same music on the iMac. I have tried a few things. Transferring all music to an external hard drive, connecting the Macbook pro to the iMac firewire, and the new home sharing. Each way I have tried is very much unsuccessful. Most of my music comes from CD's that I bought, and very little from the iTunes store. Every time I try to transfer the music only just over 500 will transfer, and I have 5,000. I've tried bulk and section and everything else. I haven't had a problem with transferring music until I put it on the Macbook pro.
What can I do?

Can you give a little more detail (step by step). I have done this a lot and have had very little problems.

N81 8Gb No memory when transferring music files

I have a new N81 8gb it shows the following in the memory details:
11 MB Memory in use

411 B Calendar
44 kb Contacts
10 kb Messages
2438 kb Images
0 B Sound files
677 kb Video Clips
0 B Documents
0 B MIDP apps
This phone is supposed to have 8Gb, how do I find out the available total memory and what is available, currently when I try to transfer a music file from my pc it says it doesn't have enough memory!!
Can you help.?
Cheers, The Beast.

ok........im having exactly the same problems except when plugging into the computer and being asked to 'select a mode'...i select data, and it says 'unable to activate data transfer mode. Mass memory is in use by another application'
now what to do......
is there not a simpler way of transfering files without using the computer?
feedback would be fab,
thanks

Need help transferring Music Files & Playlist from Mac Book to iMAC

I am having difficulty transferring my music files and playlists from my Macbook to my iMAC. All of the music goes over well but the playlists, comments and ratings do not. Any assistance in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Copy the entire \Music\iTunes\ folder from your MacBook to your iMac.
The link posted by WoggleDog deals only with moving the iTunes music folder on one computer to a different location to use on that same computer.

Help required - transfering music files

Can anyone help?
I had about 1000 songs on my laptop which I put onto my ipod - the transfer method was via real player. The transfer appeared succesful and the music is on my ipod.
However I cant play it - and now I've deleted it from my hard drive.....the music only exists in a kind of invisible iPOD file.
I need to take the music off my ipod (I can play it on my computer when my iPOD is connected) and put them back onto my hard drive and this time use iTUNES to transfer my music......*but is there anyway of putting my music back onto my hard drive?*

*is there anyway of putting my music back onto my hard drive?*
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

Transferring music files to a SD card for my Android

Need up transferring music files from windows phone

I have a zune as a MP3 player which my Mac reads as a windows phone via the windows phone app. There is an import button to import pictures and videos from it onto my computer (which hasn't worked anyway) however, I can't figure out how to transfer all of my music from my zune onto my Mac book. I realize there is the very long way of plugging the zune into a regular computer and transferring the data onto a USB/memory stick and then transferring onto my Mac. I'm just hoping that there is some possible way of just importing it straight from my zune onto my Mac if anyone can help.
Keep in mind, I know how to get music from my Mac onto my zune. It's the opposite that I'm having trouble with.
Thank you.

Hi John,
Welcome to the Mac Forums!
Sorry you are having problems. The "Priviliges" problem you are having has nothing to do with files being locked. It has to do with the way Mac OS tracks who is allowed to see what data on your computer. This way when you have multiple users logged onto your Mac, each user can only see what they are allowed to see and can't rummage through everyone elses files. Keeps things private from other users. Unfortunately, it can create complications when copying files.
I think the best solution for you is to set up your entire Windows iTunes library for "sharing." Then have your new Mac look for shared music on the wireless network. iTunes on the new Mac should then "see" all your Windows music. As long as you have the Mac set up as "authorized" in your iTunes account, you should be able to make copies or duplicates using iTunes of all the tracks in your library that are stored on your Mac hard drive.
Hopefully this will work for you. I have not tried it, but from my knowledge of iTunes, it should work. Keep us posted.
Cheers,

Help with transferring music files from my Maxtor external HD

Can anyone please help? I have been using Windows based PCs for a majority of my life. I recently purchased a Macbook. I have thousands of songs saved on a Maxtor external hard drive. I recently connected the HD to my Macbook and was able to successfully copy over all of the photos I have saved and only few of the audio files. I checked the audio files are saved in itunes format. Why can I not copy all of my music over? Please help!

You could try something like this, if you haven't thought of it already. On the PC side make a new folder, probably at the top level, or perhaps next to the one folder that you could see on the Mac side. Or maybe inside the one folder you can see on the Mac side. Maybe create a new file in it, such as a simple text file. Then see if the new folder and file can be seen on the Mac side. If so, go back to the PC side and try copying one of the mp3 files that couldn't be seen into that new folder. Also, move one mp3, as distinct from copying. Back to the Mac side, see if you can see them.
Now, if you could see the new text file, but can't see the copied mp3, that implies the problem is somehow with the mp3 files. Or the folders they are in.
If you couldn't see the new folder, then the problem isn't the files, but (I guess) something obscure and arcane about the filesystem.
Hopefully, the new folder and its contents will be visible on the Mac side, in which case the path forward should be clear.
Do you have an extremely large number of song files in a single folder? Grasping at straws, but maybe the Mac has some dumb limit that's smaller than the equivalent limit on the PC side. I've never heard of such a thing, but when things are weird, it's a good time to think of oddball possibilities...

Transfering Music Files From Internal Hard-drive to External Drive

Per the instructions in a Missing Manual Book, I copied my itunes music folder from my internal drive to my new, portable external drive. The files copied fine, but the book said all I needed to do to insure file recognition was to change the location in the itunes>preferences>advanced location, which I did. But the only way the files are recognized by itunes is to, song by song, direct itunes to the new file. Is this really the only way to have it recognize the files? Is there no automatic method? The book implies that all is needed is changing the preferences location.

I'd make sure that the 'Keep iTunes folder organised' setting is on. (Preferences>Advanced>general)
Failing that, make sure that the 'Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library' setting is also on.

Transferred music files to Mac from PC -- iTunes is still blank.

Hi. This is a transfer question. I just bought a new Mac and can't seem to transfer my iTunes from my old PC. The iTunes library was in an external hard drive.
I went to the HD on my new Mac and then into Music > iTunes. There were three files there:
1. iTunes library.itl
2. iTunes music library.xml
3. iTunes Music
I deleted the first two and replaced them with files of the same name from my PC's external drive.
My PC's external drive had a file called "iTunes" with all my music in it. I copied all this music into the Mac's "iTunes Music" folder (i.e. the #3 above).
When I turn on my Mac's iTunes, it shows nothing in the library -- i.e., no songs. Other posts I've read indicate that iTunes should automatically start updating and add all my songs to it. But nothing happens.
I've never used a mac before and maybe I'm missing something very simple. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Make sure "Copy files to iTunes Music folder" is not checked in iTunes->Preferences->Advanced->General, or you will end up with duplicate songs since they are already in your iTunes Music folder.
Then try either dragging & dropping the iTunes Music folder onto iTunes window or using File->Add to Library and navigating to the iTunes Music folder. One of these methods should work.
Perhaps you might read these documents for some good information:

What are the iTunes library files?

Transfered music files from windows XP to windows vista won't play

I recently bought a new Dell XPS 410 running Windows Vista Premium. I used a jump drive to transfer all my music from itunes to the new computer. The songs show up in my library, however when I click on it to play it comes up with a message that says "The song 'xxxx' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" This happens with songs that I purchased from itunes as well as songs that I downloaded from CDs. I have enabled the new computer to play purchased songs but this did not help. HELP!!! I know, I should have purchased an Apple.

Please read the appropriate support articles from http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/.
There is a procedure you need to follow for the iTunes library to be accessible from the external drive.
Get back here to report how you get on.

Problem With Transferred Music Files From External HD

I have two external drives, both of which have music stored on them. One I use as my library for iTunes, the other is basically just stored as a secondary because I didn't really listen to it much. I decided to move all of the music together on one drive, obviously as my iTunes library, but everything I moved over from the secondary drive doesn't show up in iTunes. It does, however, show in my iTunes Music folder with the rest of the music. Any ideas?

Figured it out.
