Cannot copy files direct from PC to DROID-Mini

Have direct connection to PC (Win7x64 OS) via USB data/charge cable. I am trying to copy MP3 files to the Music folder on phone but I get "Device might not be able to play this type of file", and then "Cannot copy file." I assume this phone can play MP3 files. I was able to create a subfolder in "Music", but cannot write to it or the main "Music" folder. The main reason I upgraded to this phone was bluetooth connectivity to my Sena motorcycle bluetooth wireless headset/intercom/phone system - mostly to play music. From what I can tell from the less than detailed manual, I should be able to copy files to the phone storage from a Win7 PC. Any help appreciated.

Easiest way I find to transfer photos/music is to use mass storage mode.
Plug in the device, it asked for mass storage mode permission..
Then it pretty much works for ur memory card in the device as an external harddrive/usb.
Get access direct to move things freely between memory card and pc.
Go to options> Media Card> Change Mass storage mode support to ON and Auto enable mass storage mode to prompt..
If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.

Cannot copy files to/from external drive

Hi All,
Bit of a cry for help. I run an iMac 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 10.7.3 and I'm having some serious problems with an external drive. Some history first - I have a large iTunes library (~3Tb) of everytype of media which I stored on an external NAS (iomega StorCenter) with no problems - then this NAS started to report a drive error with imminent failure. I purchased a new DAS (Western Digital) drive and moved all my content from the NAS to the DAS and everything was ok. Then I started to get errors through iTunes about cannot find the file and cannot read the files - and then I couldn't access anything on the drive. At this time I thought this was a different problem because I was running preview Mountain Lion, or there was an actual fault with the disk. After investigation, and coughing out for Data Rescue 3 I found that somehow the entire file structure had been corrupted and all my files had been orphaned. So at this point I had one dying NAS drive and one DAS which wasn't usable and no space to recover any files to.
So - next step was to purchase another external drive (and returned the WD) - this time I went for a G-Raid 4Tb (non-thunderbolt) drive and I've been in the process of recovering files from backups and iTunes. I've had no problems until today when yet again I've started getting errors and now I have problems copying files to/from this G-Raid drive.
Technical details - OS-X 10.7.3 - G-Raid 4Tb formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - currently showing 1,163 folders and 15,452 files.
Symptoms - using finder drag and drop copy a file from the g-Raid to desktop results in 'The operation can't be completed because the item 'xxx' is in use. - 'The operation can't be completed because one or more required items can't be found (error code -43).' and the copy fails.
Using the cp command I get a 'Resource Busy' error.
However, this is not for all files - I've managed to copy all my books back to the desktop ok, when a couple came up with the above error I tried again and it copied successfully.
I have run Disk Utility - here are the details :-

and it's just got worse - in getting the info for this post I no longer have access to the drive.
This is the second time this has now happened on two different directly connected drives (USB and Firewire) - which means the problem is elswhere. I've a stack of errors in the system.log file

I'm now out of ideas and when I got in touch with G-Tech support I got "Unfortunately the drive seems to have been corrupted. You can try to retrieve the data using third party data recovery software such as Data Rescue 3. You can find the software at a discounted rate at the following page:http://www.thedatarescuecenter.com/gtech-data-recovery-software.html If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask."
any help/advice/pointers very much appreciated as I really don't want to have to start recovering again :-(
Thanks all.

Hi Ncat,
I might have had similar problems with yours. Finder stuck at 'Not Responding' while I boot my Macbook Pro with external HDD plugged in, my macbook heats up considerably maybe because it keeps trying to access the external disk. And Finder can only proceed after I unplugged my external hard disk.
So what I did was:
I rebooted my macbook into recovery mode (by holding cmd+R before / during the booting chime
I used the Disk Utility from there (instead of from normal booting)
Then I proceed to with 'Repair Permissions' and 'Repair Disk' for each and every partition of the external harddisk, and also my internal hard disk.
Rebooted after everything's done, and now it seems to work.
I hope that it will work for you

I cannot open files directly from Lightroom 4 into Photoshop CS5.

I recently changed to new Macbook Pro and uploaded my Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5.
Now when I go to 'Photo - Edit in - Photoshop' in Lightroom 4. Photoshop opens. But no image appears.
I've updated the Camera Raw reader but this hasn't helped.
Anyone got a suggestion that might help?
I have been making attempts to download updates for my Photoshop PS5 but after 4 attempts I get the same failed window asking me to try later.
Anyone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

It is important to understand how Lr works.
Lr displays photos only when they are imported into Lr. A (seeming) exception is for a Raw image that is edited in Photoshop and <Saved> to the default settings that you selected in external editing of Preferences in Lr. So if the default setting is for PSD and you just hit <Save> in Photoshop, a PSD will be created and automatically imported back into Lr so that it will be displayed there. So, this is not really an exception from the rule that an image has to be imported into Lr - it is an automatic import. This automatic import works only for the <Save> to the default settings;it does not work when you do a <Save As> and select a different file format than the default setting. In your case you did a <Save as> to create a JPG. This JPG will not be automatically imported into Lr, you have to import it manually - either through the Import Dialog or by <Synchronize Folder>.
Apart from that, and as JimHess said, why do you create a JPG in Photoshop from the same file? If you need a JPG, in Lr just export your PSD as a JPG when you need it.
I often need JPGs from my file, but I create them only when needed by exporting them to a folder of my choice. Usually I delete them after a while. I don't see a reason why I should have JPGs sitting around on my hard drive(s). They can be created again (from the Raw files or from PSD's/Tiffs) if the need arises.

Directions on how to copy files directly from desktop to laptop

Just bought a new Mac Book Pro. I would like to copy only select files from my desktop to laptop. Can I hook the two together via firewire and just copy them or do I need to go the ethernet route and file sharing etc. If ethernet route, is it slow or fast?
Thanks.
P.S. I don't want to use migration assistant and copy all settings etc. The laptop is for son going off to college and he wants it "clean".

Data such as music will copy perfectly by Drag & Drop. Just slide the items onto the target, 'hover' over folders if you want them to open, and then 'drop', i.e. release the mouse button. If that 'spring open' action is new to you it might take a few goes to end up in the right place; at any time you can move the mouse cursor up into the menubar and release the button – nothing will be copied, and you can try again.
OR you can drop anywhere and tidy up afterwards.

How to download mp4 video files directly from camera to iPad mini?

Hi, You need to rename the file with only 8 letters/numbers in the name plus the prefix eg 12345678.mp4 same needed for photos 12345678.jpg :-) Good luck

Can't open files directly from file server (MAVERICKS)

since updating to Mavericks earlier today i have had the below problem
I use a file server at work to access all my work files. i have no problem accessing the servers but when i try and when I double click to open a file (excel, word, pdf, etc) it says "the application cant be found"
when Ihave the application open and i open the same file from within the application (file > open) it works fine. I just cannot open files directly from the file server by double clicking.
in previous versions there have been no problems with this,
any help would be great,

Same issue here; I hadn't related it to upgrading to the latest OS 10.9.2. I've shutdown and restared multiple times. I've also rebuilt permissions on my hard drive as I thought it was the Finder but files on my local HD open file. Off the server, I cannot double-click or even drag to the dock. Files open fine if I open the app first then browse to find the file.

Intermittently Text file cannot be opened directly from Finder

One day I would like to duplicate a text file by right click such file to select "Duplicate". However I accidentally pressed "Return" before right click selecting "Duplicate". It means that after pressing "Return", I entered the mode to rename this text file name, but then I continuously to right click selecting "Duplicate".
After that, I saw a duplicated text file with the same name plus "copy" after this name. The file was dim in color. I tried to delete it but Finder disallow me to delete it. Finder told me that it was occupied by other and ask me whether I would like to "Force Delete". Then I clicked yes. Deletion operation was successful.
After that, when I opened the same original text file by directly double click the text file. The operation was failed and Finder output two error window prompt with below two error messages:
"The application can't be found"
"The operation can't be completed
An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)"
After that, I tried to check the information by clicking "Ctrl-I" on this file. By default, I use TextEdit to open text file. I tried to select TextEdit as the default application for all text file in the information window. However, Finder still output above two windows prompt of error messages.
If I tried to open TextEdit or any other editor application first and then open such text file directly from its menu, the text file can then be opened.
Even for files within the same directory, I also cannot directly double click them from Finder to open it. Until I close the Finder window and reopen a new Finder window of such directory, then I can double click to open text file, where it would be opened by my default text editor "TextEdit".
After that, from time to time, such two error message windows will prompt out disallowing me to directly double click opening the text file. For example, originally a text file can be opened properly. After working on the file some time later and try to open the other text file in the same directory, such two message windows will prompt out. Or when I work such text file and the swap to other application, and then go back to Finder to double click such opened text file, such two error message windows will also prompt out. The only way to temporary fix it is to close the Finder window first and reopen it again.
In addition, after such accident, I also discovered that Finder cannot instantly update directory content anymore. For example, I setup FTP server and someone can upload files to my Public directory, and where my Public directory has been opened before anyone ftp files to me, the Public directory cannot update itself after someone uploaded files to me through ftp.
Or sometime I execute copy operation within VMware image to copy a file to shared directory, I also cannot see the directory in Finder update the content. I have to click to other directory and then go back to such shared directory so as to refresh the directory content list. Even I click "Ctrl-R", it cannot refresh the directory.
In the past before such accident, Finder works fine to update directory content promptly after any upload or copy operation.
In addition to bug fix patch, is there any workaround solution I can try to recover my Finder?

HI,
This is a shot in the dark but it can't hurt.
Locate these files.
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.textedit.plist
~/Library/Preferences
Move those files the Trash and restart your Mac.
If that doesn't do the job, boot from your install disk and check the startup disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
If the hard disk appears to be ok and you still can't launch Text Edit, back up all important data and perform an Archive & Install.

CPU Jul-09 Installation - Error Cannot copy file from 'libjox10.so' to

Hi All, I received this error while I was installing the last CPU on a 10.2.0.4 Oracle Instance running on a HP-UX Itanium System:
Patch 8568398:
Copy Action: Desctination File "/u02/app/oracle/product/10.2/Db_1/lib/libjox10.so" is not writeable.
'oracle.rdbms, 10.2.0.4.0': Cannot copy file from 'libjox10.so' to '/u02/app/oracle/product/10.2/Db_1/lib/libjox10.so'
I checked metalink' site with no similar results found.
Could anybody help me?
Should I run /usr/sbin/slibclean and remove the last patch (Patch 8568398) and then try again?
This is the complete log...

You were right. It was a permissions issue:

Cannot copy file (From external HD, DVD, server) - iTunes 6

Yesterday I've updated iTune to 6 and de facto Quicktime to 7.0.3.
Just after this upgrade, I remark that I cannot copy files, using the finder, from external hard disk, dvd drive and network drive. During the drag, I've got the circle indicating that I can't copy.
I can copy files only from my main hard disk to this one or others.
(Note: With terminal applications I can copy theses files).
Anyone else have this problems... or a explanation/solution.
Thanks

I reinstall iTune 6 and now everything is ok

Cannot copy files from CD or DVD using Finder.

Hi,
I cannot copy files and folders from a CD or DVD to my home folder or any folder therein using Finder. I just get the "Not Permitted" symbol next to the mouse pointer when I try to drag a folder out of the CD (or DVD) to my home folder.
I have checked that I have sufficient permissions to perform this operation and when I copy files from the CD or DVD using the command line, it works without any hassles.
This is extremely strange and I cannot think of why it should happen.
A solution would be most welcome as I would prefer not to have to drop into a command line when I have to copy files from CDs or DVDs.
Regards,
Apurva

I am experiencing the same problem: after undoing a copy in the Finder from my CD-drive to my Seagate 200GB FW-drive, I am no longer able to copy single files in the Finder from other drives than my harddisk. I can copy from my hard disk to my external harddisk, I can move and copy files within the harddisk, but I cannot copy from my external hard drive or my CD/DVD-drive to my harddisk or from my CD/DVD-drive to my external hard drive or the internal harddisk.
What is increasingly weird, is that I can easily copy two or more files using drag and drop! I also get a nice green + sometimes when trying to move the files, but there is just no response.
I have tried the following:
0) rebooted.
1) rm com.apple.finder.plist + killall -9 Finder
2) done that in the finder using cmd-alt-esc to kill the finder.
3) removed cache files using Yasu from http://jimmitchelldesigns.com/yasu.html, including rebooting
4) Doublechecked permissions, including locked bits
5) run periodic everything from the Terminal
6) repaired permissions
7) checked the hard disk using disk utility
8) Logged in as another admin user to no avail.
I can use the Terminal to copy the files without any problems, and I can open files in other applications and save them where ever from there, but the Finder refuses to let me.
May Gods wrath kill the Finder for good! I certainly hope 10.5 will show a new Finder!

Cannot copy files from my network using finder

If I try to copy files from my NAS or my PC to my Macmini running Leopard, I cannot copy files that are larger than 64kb. Otherwise I get an error message. Interestingly, if I use the cp command in the console instead, he can copy the file, but the file is corrupt in the sense that it is smaller than the original and not working. Weirdest thing is that I can access the same files from itunes or iphoto or vlc or whatever. Any ideas?

After the update I cannot connect to my router anymore

How to edit files directly from server?

I'm new to dreamweaver (CS5) and I'm really lost when it comes to editing files directly in remote servers.
When you add a new site, you have to select a Local Site Folder. I dont mind that html editor saves auto backups to my computer, but I really dont want to download files from the server, edit them and upload them back to the server. In my work I always edit files directly over SFTP servers.
After spending time configuring DW, I can now connect to the remote server, edit a file and save it to the server (I know that really the files are automatically downloaded to my pc and sent back when saved). The only problem with this is that everytime I open a file from server, I get this annoying prompt "Do you wish to overwrite your local copy of [FILE]?"
How can I disable this for good, or is the dreamweaver just not the right tool to edit files directly from servers?

Again, if you are doing it the easy way, you don't download files from the server to edit them.
Always edit local files. Then upload them.
When you open Dreamweaver, your Files panel should be showing Local View, NOT Remote View. That way you are working with local files.
The way you're doing it here's what happens:
1. You doubleclick a file in the Files panel (Remote View)
2. Dreamweaver connects to your server and MUST download the file and related content (because the software IS NOT installed on the server and you CANNOT edit there)
3. When the file is downloaded, Dreamweaver asks if you wish to overwrite the local file because when you save it before putting the file back, your OS will not allow two files of the same name in the same location and the file MUST be saved before you can put it back.
4. You then put the file to the server, overwriting the original file.
All of that can be avoided by simply opening THE LOCAL FILE and editing it. Then you put it to the server, and overwrite the original with the edited file.
"What if someone else modifies a file on the server after I saved it, when I open and edit a local file, wont I just replace it when I upload it?"
If multiple people have access to the same files on the server, you NEED to have collaboration software so that when a change is made it can be saved by EVERYONE who has access to the site. Something like LiveCycle.
Without that your site will be a mess in no time because six different people (or more) will have six different copies of six different sites locally and they will all be working on it at the same time and it will end up like a Three Stooges movie where Larry, Curly and Moe are all cooking dinner and each adds the same ingredients at different times.

Can anyone advice on this please?

Hi,
Please try to reset the Internet Explorer settings or open Internet Explorer in In-Private browsing and then check if this issue occurs.
If the issue persists, please try to access SharePoint in another computer with Office 2013 and then check if this issue occurs. Or repair Office and restart your server.
Here is a blog about the same issue for you to take a look at:

How do I move a file directly from the desktop to a folder in OX 10?

I am new to Mac and the Mountain Lion software. Having worked exclusively with PC operating systems, I am familiar with how to work with files in Windows, but am having trouble doing similar actions in OX 10. How do I move a file directly from the desktop to a folder in OX? Although this answer is likely in a video tutorioal (somewhere), I do not have the time to sit an arbitrarily watch generic OS videos that give a broad brush overview, without answering specific queries. Any help out there?

You might fun http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/ to be of help to get used to doing things the Mac way.
