8520 media sync and windows 7 issues

I have a 16GB microSD card in my 8520. When I try to sync music via itunes playlists and the BB Desktop manager, evry few minutes (or less!) a box pops up from Windows 7 asking if I want to scan and repair the F drive (SD card in the BB), or continue without scanning. Whichever option I choose it seems to come back after a few minutes again, and every time it does it interrupts the sync process and I have to start again. Any ideas?

thanx for your reply. The card is FAT32, and files transfer with no problems if I just drag and drop on Windows Explorer, even when the card is still physically inside the phone. just did 4GB of music folders to check. It seems to be an issue with the Desktop software "losing touch" with the MC during transfers. Is it possible just to copy the m3u playlist over and the BB will pick it up?

  • Media Sync and Windows 2000

    Hello,
    I'm using for few days a BlackBerry Curve 8900 with a PC under Windows 2000.
    Did anybody kept the installation package for Media Sync V2, which seems to be compatible with Windows 2000 ?
    Only the V3 is available on the BlackBerry site.
    Thanks !

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    You can use a PC to transfer info between the PC and the media card.
    Basically you will attach the USB to the BB and the PC. Don't use desktop
    manager. Go to "My Computer" on the PC and the BB will show as a flash drive.
    Then you can "drag and drop" files to the BB.
    Use the following settings in the memory option of the Storm:
    Media card support ON
    Encryption mode NONE
    Media transfer protocol ON (Storm and Bold only)
    Mass storage support ON
    Auto enable Mass storage support when connected ON

  • Blackberry Media Sync and Windows 7 Beta

    I recently downloaded the new Windows 7 Beta from Microsoft and set my computer up as a dual boot system (along side Vista) just to check it out and experiment. One of the issues i've noticed is that some installation programs do not recognize Windows 7 as a supported OS (no surprise here since it is just a Beta) even though it is more or less, Vista. One of these installation programs is the installer for Blackberry Media Sync. Was just wondering if anyone might have information on how to get around this, or, if RIM is working on updates to support the new OS. I know this is more an issue with Windows than it is with RIM, but it would be nice if RIM included the OS as an option. Thanks for your time, cheers to all.

    OK guys I am not a geek I have no idea how to do this stuff.  But it is Jan 2011 and I could not get my new laptop to recognize the Blackberry Curve 9700 so I could sync it up.   What I did to solve this is I synced up the device with my old desktop, which I had not done in over 6 months after I had a hard drive crash on a laptop.  Whatever happened, the device ended up with  a bunch of new software on it and when I put it on the new laptop it synced up just fine.  I don't know if this will help anybody but I hope so.

  • Problems with BB Media Sync and Curve 8330

    I having problems getting BB Media Sync to work with my curve 8330.  Some background info:
    I am using Windows 7 (I have also tried connecting it on a PC running XP to no avail).
    I have an 8 GB microsd card in my curve.
    BB Desktop software recognizes my BB.
    Windows Explorer does however does not (no removable storage shows up in My Computer (this is true on both my PC running 7 and the one running XP).
    I have already checked that mass storage is enabled.
    The error message that I get is "Your device is not recognized by Blackberry Media Sync...".
    My BB flashes the connecting screen for about a second and then says "Connected to Desktop" when I open BB Media Sync but to no avail.
    I have also already tried formatting the microsd card in the blackberry "Media" menu.
    I have tested to make sure that its not a USB connection problem and that is not the issue.
    I'm at a loss of what else there is to do, can anyone help please?
    Thank you in advance.

    I am having a similar problem with my Curve 8330, though I use a Mac and have tried connecting to a PC to only get the same results.
    I have a 4GB Micro SDHC
    My BB will connect with BB Desktop Manager to sync calendars, contacts, etc. but no media
    Although the computer and the Phone communicate via Desktop Manager, my BB device does not show up in finder
    I get an error message that says mass media storage mode must be activated
    I have activated these features under Options/Media Card: Media Card Support - On; Encryption Mode - None; Mass Storage Mode Support - On; Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected - Yes
    I have reformatted my Micro SDHC card

  • Blackberry Media Sync causes Windows "Blue Screen of Death"

    I recently suffered a very inconvenient (and costly) "Blue Screen of Death" just after  disconnecting my Pearl 8110 (using Media Sync. I run Windows XP).
    I was wondering whether the Blackberry hardware or software had in some way caused this - and whether I should be concerned about using Media Sync in the future.
    Any thoughts?

    Who knows? It is possible. There are a couple of threads on here about this (although not Media Sync, just DTM). Check out this thread: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Desktop-Software/Upgrade-of-Desktop-software-resul...
    They mention they found a fix for the problem they were seeing on XP (SP2, not SP3).
    I consistently get a system crash immediately on plugging in my BB. I am running 64-bit Vista SP2. I haven't found a solution, yet. And, I have a RAID drive, and have to suffer through a several hour image rebuild after the crash, so I understand "costly." At least I can still use the machine while it rebuilds.

  • "Media Sync" and "Home Media" on the Nseries - how...

    I've set up Home Media on the N79, and right now, if I try to browse to it from Windows, I get nothing. As far as Windows is concerned, there's no files being shared from it, I guess. It just loads up WMP and shows me my local library.
    Now, there's also Media Sync. I've got that set up to manually sync my Captured Photos and Captured Videos to my home network, and it'll happily scan what files are available, but then when I get it to Sync, it does nothing. If I get it to show me what files are synced to the network, there's obviously nothing there, because it's not syncing anything. It thinks that syncing is disabled for all available sync-to-network file types, regardless of my settings.
    So my question is, has anyone got playing to/from devices over the network with Home Media to work, or Media Sync to the network to work? Ever? I can't find any examples online of somebody who's actually used either of these features successfully. How did you do it?
    Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

    Hi,
    Sorry for the late reply, but I've got it all configured right, it just doesn't do anything on "Sync To". After running the wizard, my N79's still sent to "synching off" for all items in the "to home" section, and the only options outside of the wizard are:
    Target devices: This just shows a box marked "synchronisation off" with a check-box which can't be cleared
    Keep on phone: This just sets file size for after syncing. 
    "Sync From" works fine but being able to automatically back up my pics over the WLAN is more useful to me than being able to grab music automatically over the same. 
    Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

  • Serious 2.x media sync / ID3 indexing issue

    I've found a serious issue with the media indexer, I don't know if this has been reported before. Right now, my Pre 2 with webOS 2.1 is unusable as a mp3-player.
    First I've tried to sync music with iTunes on my Mac with "The Missing Sync". Everything was copied over, but I only had very few songs properly viewable in the music app. The rest was tagged as "unknown": artist, album, everything, even though the music is properly tagged.
    Then I tried to use "Salling Media Sync", the free version. After a restart it worked, I could see all my music with there proper tags, no "unknown" mess anymore. I then tried to copy music again manually, simple drag&drop. The new music was not recognized again! "Unknown" artist, album etc.
    I then deleted everything again, used a custom script for Apple iTunes to sync. Everything unkown again..
    Right now, only Salling Media Sync seems to work.. I'm not the only one experiencing this, I already asked in a German forum and there are more.
    Any idea? This is extremely annoing..
    Post relates to: Pre 2 p102ueu (Unlocked EU)

    was this a result of updating my iphone to ios 4.2?
    Yes. iOS 4.2.1 requires iTunes 10.1 or greater, which requires OS X 10.5.8 or greater.

  • Dual boot with archlinux and windows issue

    Hi again!
    This is what i did from the beginning :
    windows was already installed and then i installed archlinux after shrinking the windows partition . I made a partition for boot , one for swap and one for root(i wanted to do for home too , but only 4 primary partitions are allowed) . I made the boot partition bootable , and so was windows bootable and i got the message that there are two bootable partitions so it couldn't write the partition table . So removed the bootable tag from windows and left only the boot partition bootable . I then installed the grubloader to boot partition and then i edited that grubmenu and uncomment the part where windows was like it says in wiki. After restarting i could see the menu to choose between archlinux and windows , i chose windows , i succesfully logged in and after restarting again i couldn't see the grubloader and i automatically logged in windows .
    Does anyone know what might be the issue ??
    Thanks !

    yes i only have one hard rive , i managed to find a solution not that elegant though , i 've installed acronis os selector from windows and i can choose between windows and linux with acronis on boot . If i choose linux i get to the grub menu and i can choose between arch linux and windows . So it seems that the grub menu is still there but it doesn't appear when i boot for some reason .

  • Iphone 4 sync and backup issues

    Hi, i have been reading the questions on this community and would like further assistance on syncing and backing up.
    Story is i had issues with my iphone and wen to Apple Store and they restored to original factory settings.  Lady said easier for me to setup new iphone which i have now done.  i have deleted all my backups from my computer and in preferences.  i am now in the process of syncing my iphone and it has taken me over 10 minutes and still syncing.  how long does it normally take?
    Is it easier for me to uninstall and reinstall itunes and quicktime?
    Please help.   i have been trying to do this for a while now and getting frustrated!!!

    Depends on how much you're trying to sync over.

  • Bold Sync and Update Issues With DTM For Mac

    First problem: I cannot update software on my Bold. Once I click on "Start Update", the process starts, but stops at "Downloading 5... Files". It then stops, and a dialog box with the following message pops up
    <Blackberry Desktop Manager could not download the required files. There may be a problem with your network connection or the server is not responding. Please try again later> This is followed by:
    < Blackberry Desktop Manager failed to update your Blackberry device> 
    Second problem: Syncing will not work as well. Upon syncing Calendar (iCal), I get the error message <A sync error has occured. Please retry the sync.> 
    Phone Data
    Make: Bold 9000 
    Software: 4.6.0
    Mac
    Make: White Macbook 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    OS: 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard)
    DTM was latest version (1.0) of DTM for Mac
    I had PocketMac, Missing sync and the Beta of DTM for Mac installed. I have tried removing ALL components of these 3 apps, from all libraries and restarted my Mac ~6-7 times, but to no avail. It's getting very frustrating. Can anyone help?
    PS I wish RIM would dedicate more resources to making it work between our Macs and our Berries. It's like having a pet that can't get along with your wife, one's gotta go!

    Update: I've managed to get around the sync problems, have synced add book and iCal. Haven't tried notes and tasks, am hopeful it will work. However, updates still don't work! It goes to download 600+ files, and then the same error message still appears. Can anyone help? Hopefully someone from RIM! 
    As well, when un-installing BDTM-Mac, does anyone else get the same problem of getting a dialog box that says that uninstall was unsuccessful and that certain components could not be deleted?  
    As a sidenote, just to give your (emilianne) idea a shot, I re-installed missing sync and pocket mac, then used app zapper. Seems like I'm more thorough than the app. =\ Now I still get that dialog box from BDTM-Mac installer that says prior versions of syncing software were found. Geez. Previously when I did a manual wipe, didn't have that problem. Oh well... not a BB issue so not important.

  • Creative media centre and windows 7

The installation was no problem but now when i click on the desktop icon then click browse media it opens windows media player instead of the creative media centre. The whole interface has changed and i cant find how to add media at all now, with the old creative centre it was simple you just clicked add media. Not being well up on this stuff i was wondering why i cant accsess the media centre i had with xp, any advice would be most welcome. Thanks very much.
