Can I safely change N95 8GB Mass Storage's name?

I have many software installed on my N95 8GB. I have an option to change the Mass Storage's name.
Is it safe to change the name from "Mass Storage" to something else?
Thanks.

Yes, the name of the mass storage can be changed with no ill effects.
Software always accesses the mass storage by "drive letter", pretty much the same way Windows does. To see this in action, create a playlist containing a few music files that are on your memory card and then open the resulting playlist file in a text editor. You'll see that all the tracks are referred to as E:\whatever_path\music_file.mp3
Interestingly enough, from a technical point of view, the name assigned to the mass storage is in fact a special kind of file called a "volume identifier". By changing the volume name you're merely renaming this special file.

ICS - Live With Walkman - Can't connect USB in MSC (Mass Storage) mode

Hi Guys n Girls,
I recently updated my LWW to ICS and I can't for the life of me get the phone connect to my PC in MSC, mass storage mode.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.

This question seems "answered" without an answer actually being there? I see the same problem - connecting the phone to my (Ubuntu/Linux) machine before (running GB) ended up in the phone (SD card) being mounted as external USB storage device just as one would except. With ICS, this doesn't seem to work out of the box anymore, but unfortunately so far I also didn't manage to change this behaviour. Any hints on that?
TIA and all the best,
Kristian

Can I use iCloud like a mass storage device - pc free

I am living on a boat and I am using my iPad w a camera connector kit. Can I back up photos that won't all fit on my iPads internal memory(16G), using iCloud like an external hard drive? I don't have a pc w me and don't want one.

With iCloud and photo stream your photos are automatically syced to the cloud, but the photos will only stay in the cloud for 30 days which is enough time by Apple's standards to download them from the cloud to a mac or pc so I guess the answer to your question would be no, you cant use iCloud as a mass storage device.

N81 8GB - Mass Storage

Hi,
How do you make the mass storage the default storage instead of the phone memory? For instance, if I use bluetooth it tries to save to the phone memory.
Regards
Raj

The mass storage mode only works via the USB cable where you can set it to be the default connection mode upon inserting the cable.
If you are using a bluetooth connection you will need to select the memory you want to use in the PC Suite application. This is usually a setting found in the program you are using itself.

Aperture: How can I batch change one part of a file name

I have a file name format for my motor sport pictures
EventNameYear_CarNumber_ImageNumber
I have just named 600+ images but after publishing the images, I spotted I put the event year as 2014 instead of 2015.
How can I batch change the year but leave everything else the same? I've been through the batch change options but cannot work it out
I am on Aperture 3.6, MacBook Pro on Yosemite 10.10.2
Thanks

So you renamed the versions in Aperture, the rename was not just done on the export?
The names could be changed either in Aperture or on the exported files but as was noted it would require a script to do it. Doing the rename on the exported files would be the easiest, Applescript or possibly even Automator or any number of 3rd party apps could handle this rather easily. Name Mangler comes to mind as possibly being able to handle this.

Why Can't iPhone 4S With 8GB of Storage Not Be Able To Upgrade to iOs 8.x?

Got a refurbished 4S from VZ for my wife. Settings icon showed one alert, and saw it was to upgrade the software to iOs 8.x. But the phone says there is not enough memory. Right out of the package, I cannot upgrade the operating system. Is there a problem with this phone?

So, I would have to find some way to eliminate some of the Apple-supplied applications to free up storage. Is the upgrade to iOs 8.x really worth the effort?

Can i use e60 as a usb mass storage device over bl...

no you cannot, mass storage is a USB device class like you said yourself.

Nano doesnt charge, registers as mass storage device

Okay, i bought a Nano a few days ago, filled it with music, and played and played it. The battery was low, so i hooked it back up to my computer, using the supplied usb 2.0 cable, only to find out it does not seem to charge my ipod. Yes i have usb 2.0, its an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, months old. And yes i have done everything Apple Recommends, as have others. But doing some supersleuthing i did discover this.
My computer is only recognizing my ipod as a "USB mass storage device" BUT when i first plug it in and it says "DO NOT DISCONNECT" it DOES charge. And my computer reads it as
USB Mass Storage Device
-Apple Ipod USB Device
-Generic Volume I:
But once that DND screen goes away it goes back to USB Mass and only that, no way to expand it. THis i believe is the bulk of the problem....why it is causing it i dont know?
Is it a Drive issue based with the ipod? The computer? IS there a USB driver mucking it up? Anything i can try that anyone has come across?
Any help is MUCH appreciated...i only ask so i dont have to shell out another 30 dollars for a wall jack....accessory my ***!

In the left hand panel of iTunes, click the eject icon next to your nano. This should remove the Do not disconnect message.
If that doesn't work then also try this.
I don't have iTunes at work. When I plug my nano in to charge there, I get the Do Not Disconnect message on the screen. Go into My Computer, find your device (removable drive) right-click on it and Eject. The main menu should display on the screen. Turn off the iPod to get the full screen battery icon.
Your iPod will not charge if you use the Safely Remove Hardware (Stop Mass Storage device). So only stop it once it is done charging.

N95 8GB v20.0.016 - mass memory failure #3

For the third time my N95 8GB has managed to corrupt its mass memory ("mass memory corrupted") - only this time, I am unable to reformat it at all!
The problem behaviour is as follows:
Used the phone last night to take several pictures, accessing the Gallery at one stage to find and delete one picture. This afternoon I look for the photos to review, and the '200902' folder (images for February) on the mass memory has no subfolder and is empty. However, I DO have a video saved on the phone from the 7th of February!
This afternoon I am able to take as many pictures as I like and they are saved correctly in the gallery and the 200902 folder. I had used about 5.2GB of the mass memory at this point. (It may be worth noting that I would occasionally get the message 'Gallery: Memory full' whilst browsing the gallery, but never at any other time).
At this stage, the mass memory is still fully populated, so I thought it would be best to cut my losses and take a full phone backup. The backup process fails, with an error along the lines of having lost connection with the phone.
I check file manager to see what's going on, and the following message appears on the memory card page: "(no data)".
All previous times the handset corrupted its memory, the trigger seemed to be a reboot of the handset. (Contents were lost upon returning to File Manager after a reboot). Having not rebooted the phone at all in the last 24 hours, I was surprised that the memory card contents had apparently disappeared without any application being launched and apparently no new data writing attempts being made. Perhaps the read operation for the backup caused the failure? But this still does not explain how all my February photos were deleted.
Without any obvious way of getting to my files, I rebooted the phone, returned to file manager and was greeted by the familiar: "(mass memory corrupted)".
As mentioned previously, when this happened before I was able to format the memory via Menu -> Tools -> Utilities -> Memory -> Format. This time, I receive the message: "Mass memory is in use by other application. Continue anyway?". I select 'Yes' - but the handset simply returns to the memory screen and "(mass memory corrupted)". This still happens even after a reboot.
I have performed 'Factory settings' reset via the phone menus, a 'hard reset' via code *#7370#, a format by holding *, 3 and the call answer button whilst powering on the phone - none of these prevent the 'Mass memory is in use' error from occurring. I have also attempted to format drive E (mass memory) but this just returns an error code. When I attempt to upgrade the firmware, the process fails every time after ~3 minutes saying that the connection with the phone has been lost (the warnings about upgrading do state that the mass memory should NOT be encrypted, so I presume that it being inaccessible is equivalent to this).
I cannot see any way to format the 8gb memory so that I can make it usable once more! The phone was not dropped or damaged in any way in the last 24 hours, yet it seems that something must have physically changed inside it?
The only parallel I can draw between this incident and the previous one is that both times, the memory was around 2/3rds full (around 5.5GB). I am wondering if perhaps the FAT table outgrows itself and dies?
My 1 year warranty expired 3 weeks ago - I am hopeful my network operator will be able to provide a replacement and that this phone just has a 'bad' memory chip - it really is a superb phone barring this infuriating corruption problem mine seems to have!
If anyone could shed any light on a solution it would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Alex

In the end my operator agreed to replace the handset for me after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing. In my opinion the problem was caused by a faulty memory chip.
Alex
p.s. - the old handset was sent to the operator for repair and they were unable to repair it, only offer a refurbished replacement. With the greatest of respect, it's good to know my case is not unique!
