Get media content now

Received my Lumia 920 a week ago, I have been fighting with Vodacom in South Africa for 5 days now around getting MMS working. Vodacom say its Nokia who have to provide me with the MMS settings but I cannot find any solution to getting MMS working on the Vodacom network. If I try send a MMS, I get an error saying my message cannot be sent and when I receive a message it says "Get media content now", if I click on the message, the phone reports "getting media content" it plays a sound but nothing further happens, I then receive repeated notifications saying "Get media content now" about 10 or 15 times over a period of an hour, any help would be appreciated

Did you check the Settings>access point? In many cases the correct settings are in the app database an will setup automatically. You might want to do a search on these forums as this has been covered many times before. If this app is missing scan the QR code below on your phone to get it.
On the vodacom site they only offer sending a settings SMS or using USSD, both are not supported by WIndows phone (you could try the SMS option though). These setting are carrier dependent and so should be provided by the carrier.
A quick look at settings for the Nokia C7 I found this and that should translate pretty well to settings for Lumia:
Connection name: Vodacom
Internet APN
Accesspoint name: internet
Proxy address: 169.006.128.012
Proxy port: 8080
Username: [blank]
Password: [blank]
MMS APN
MMS Access point name: mms.vodacom.net
Proxy address: 169.006.128.013
Proxy port: 8080
Username: [blank]
Password: [blank]
MMSC address: mmsc.vodacom4me.co.za
They should have the settings available for manual entry just like any other carrier has. If the above does not work contact them again and demand to speak to a manger as they should have these settings and it seems you ran into a clueless agent here. As this is basically Vodafone you might try and shoot their HQ a message to complain on this.
And lastly remember; Google is your best friend in these matters..

"Get media content now" without data connection?

Hi all.
I have a prepaid sim in my Lumia because I use it very little. When I got my Lumia charged and running 2 weeks ago, I had the equivalent of over $240 credit on my SIM card, "Data connection" was switched on and once the Lumia was running, I sent one single text message with the word "testing" to my daughter. Next day I was horrified when my provider sent me a message "you have less than 10 Francs credit". I called Swisscom and they told me that the day before, my Lumia had gobbled up more than the equivalent of $150 and that THAT day so far it had used up over $80. I felt absolutely sick. Normally 100 Swiss Francs lasts me for a year.
They told me to switch off the Data connection and just use wifi. But now, when my daughter sends me a picture, I just get that blasted "Get media content now" message.
I simply cannot afford the data connection. I could get images and multimedia content messages fine with my late departed and much-missed E7 and even my old Communicator could pick up multi-media via wifi. so why the step back with the Lumia ??? And is there any way I can get e.g. multimedia images without a data connection (I already tried the aircraft mode on/off trick with no luck).
Our entire family have been Nokia customers since they first made mobile phones but by now I am the only one of us who has persevered (thanks to the Communicator then the E7) but I hate this bloody Lumia 900 thing which I received as a replacement for my non-charging E7. I swear I am going to put it on ebay and get myself an Iphone and will never buy a Nokia again.

The 150+ SFr was presumably from a phone software update. I didn't send an MMS message but an SMS = one word only.
I checked that the wifi icon was on at all times but the Nokia seems to look first for G3. Because Nokia didn't even have the courtesy of sending me a manual or user instructions of any kind (or charger or SIM removal pin or headphones) when they sent me this phone, I didn't think of checking the data connection setting to be honest.
Last night I wasted a further 7 hours trying to install Zune on my XP PC.. It said it couldn't install because Media Centre needed updating to Rollup 2 or later. I already HAVE all the Media Centre updates, went to Microsoft, wanted to download it again, they wanted verification but when I ran their verification tool I was told that the verification tool was outdated and to use the later version - yes, and that on the Microsoft website..
After 7 hrs of going round in circles, I went to bed at 5 a.m. and today went to Swisscom and got myself an Iphone 4. I have better things to do than to spend 7 hours trying to install software..
OK, it's another rant but I am mightily dissatisfied with Nokia - even the keypad keeps rolling itself up when I try to enter something. so to enter a 10 digit phone number takes a total of about 30+ taps because the damn keypad disappears before I can tap on a number. Incredible.

Having issues receiving MMS and/or media content. I have visited several forums and did successfully receive at least one photo and sent one photo sucessfully. However, I am now unable to receive media via MMS. Phone displays message: "Get Media Content Now 30KB", but it only emits a tone after pressing. I have add a MMS VPN already. Any suggestions??? Thanks!

Cannot get media content in text

I received a few texts that contained media content. When i clicked on "Get media content now", it said that it was getting media content but it never downloaded it. Is there some setting I need to change or something?

hi mate, this is a case of you needing to activate MMS with your network carrier. they should also be able to send u the settings via SMS of which you open them and tap Save. also ensure that you are up to date with the latest version of Nokia system apps, namely Access Point and Network+.

Get Media Content Message

Hi I have the HTC Trophy and I was texting someone and they sent me a message and it came up as Get Media Content. I clicked on it and it said "getting media content" but then a few seconds later, it was back to the original message. Does anybody know how to fix this or why it is doing that? Thanks!

First, use the search bar and type Flash in. You'll see thousands on this subject. You can download apps from the App Store, such as iSwifter or Puffin, which work with some degree of success, but not always 100%.

When I load cds i get a message that states, "User not registered for online use." This problem has only begun since the new itunes update and is only a problem on my pc laptop. Media content (track names, etc.) do not load. Thanks

I recently had my hard drive replaced and now iTunes won't allow me sync my iPhone without deleting all the media contents and replacing it with the existing library. Is there another way without erasing everything?

I have already backed up my iPhone, yet it still will not allow me to move the contents of my phone onto my computer. Rather, it wants to delete everything off of my phone and replace it with the contents on my iTunes. Is there a way I can integrate both my iTunes and iPhone? There used to be autofill on iTunes, but I can no longer find it.

Hello there, DollyVong.
The following Knowledge Base article has great information and steps to follow on getting purchased content from your iOS device to your computer:

IPhoto crashed and all content is now missing, how do I restore/get all content back?

My iPhoto crashed as I was trying to export a selected number of photos (to send to colleagues with Windows PC) and all content is missing. How do I restore/get all content back and in the same formet ie in their original events that I set up?

Hi Terence, here goes:-
iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2 (424)
Snow Leopard Mac OS X (latest update)
I had selected about 7 photos to export into 'pictures' so that I could send them by email to colleagues who don't have Apple. On returning to iPhoto all the content had disappeared and the photos I had selected did not export.
It happened on Thursday 21st Feb, nothing had been installed or deleted but I did update the latest software fairly recently (usual automated update etc). I am able to still use iPhoto but when I click the red button to close the application, it closes completely from my machine - the blue highlight button underneath the icon disappears and it does not remain in the background where I would usually have to click on 'iPhoto' in the top left hand corner.
No error messages
Attempted to restore by accessing Time Capsule - that's another matter/problem I will need to address separately (user error I reckon on this aspect!).
As far as I know I use iPhoto as it should be ie I have all my photos in Events (not albums)
Thanks

I downloaded iTunes 11.1 and when I went to open iTunes after the download, all of my music, podcasts, playlists, etc were missing. The only thing in my iTunes now is my purchased items. Does anyone know how to get my content back in my iTunes?

I did a backup from my 3G and want to get the backup now on my iPhone 4, but the backup from the old 3G is not shown as an option to configurate. How do I get the information on my new phone?

I did a backup from my 3G and want to get the backup now on my iPhone 4, but the backup from the old 3G is not shown as an option to configurate. How do I get the information on my new phone?

First, back up your old iphone manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your old phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

How to download apps for free again:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
After that, connect your new phone and let iTunes set it up. iTunes will detect the old 3G backup and ask you, if you want to use it to restore the info on your new iphone. If you agree, all settings and data will be present after the process is finished.
This is also explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137

Media content ?

i have a nokia lumia 710 , i was recieving pictures from other people absolutely fine , now all of a sudden everytime
somebody sends me a pic it comes up with MEDIA CONTENT IN THIS MESSAGE . Everytime i try to open it , it just keeps repeating the same message . It was working fine , anyone have any ideas why this has happened . thank you

@jitterbug58 please, post the model name of your phone again. To get MMS working, we need the name of your network operator, and the country you are in. By the way, do you face exactly the same error message? If not, please, provide the error message word for word.

How to get Media File in Context

Hello Everyone,
I have an application on which i need to store and manage millions of media content (can be audio/visual). As i cannot maintain that much content in the WebContext, so i put the content on the different server.
Now the problem is when someone need to play the media content than that content need to be with in the WebContext other wise the Media Player does not get the URL/Content.
Now As i have put the data on different server, how i get the files in the Cureent Applications web context????
I am out of ideas at the moment. Please suggest something. I am using Struts1.3,JSP,JSTL for the presentation layer and Hibernate for the DB Layer.

You just need a servlet to access the place where the media content is, and stream it back to the client.
http://balusc.blogspot.com/2009/02/fileservlet-supporting-resume-and.html has an example (and links) for a File/Image servlet that does something similar.
You may need to adapt it if you are streaming stuff, but it the theory remains the same.
cheers,

Prepositioning windows media content with centrally managed CDM and CEs

We have recently installed a configuration of Cisco CEs and one CDM (model 566) to support windows media streaming from our intranet IIS/Windows Media servers. We have configured routers in area locations to transparently re-route WMT requests to a locall CE. We are trying to preposition windows media content from our web servers to the CEs. We have configured a device group for a channel associated with each web/windows media server but are UNABLE to get any content replicated down to the CEs. The failure begins with the root CE. I have tried content channels requests by IP number and specific wmv references within the WIndows Media publishing point, using mms protocol, by FQDN with publishing points and specific single file references and by FQDN crawl jobs. Nothing is working. I am able to open up specific wmv files using the same paths within a windows media client or IE browser with no problem.
IS there something special to be done here? The configuration is for on-demand--not multicast access--and I have only tried using the CDM's gui interface to set up the job--no manifest file.
This should be easy but it is proving to be very frustrating and Cisco CE support has not id'd the issue. Is it an authentication issue between the root CE and web/WM server? something else?

thanks, believe or not, I'm just now getting back to this issue due to a prolonger issue affecting all of our Content Devices that I won't bore you with....anyway, do you know whether the newer versions of ACNS, spec. 5.5.5 fix this issue...currently running 5.3.5

Get all content from iTouch to a new computer.

My problem is very simple to explain, but I find no solution.
My old computer is damaged and I cant use it anymore. So I bought a new one and I want to get all my stuff from the iTouch to iTunes on me new computer. After installing iTunes I actived in iTunes my iTouch for iTunes. In iTunes I get the massage that now two computers are actived (5 are possible).
So I connect my iTouch with the wire to my computer and I get the massage that my iTouch is logical connected with an other iTunes libary. I get the only possibility to delete my iTouch and syncronize it with the content of the new iTunes libary.
*My question is how can I get my content from the iPod touch to iTunes on my new computer?*

Hi,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
So, in a perfect world, you would restore your library of valuable music from *your backed up files* to the library on your new PC, you know, the ones burnt to DVD/CD or on an external HD.
This is the way iTunes works, it makes it perfectly clear and actively encourages users to *back up your music*.
The iPod touch is not a back up device (nor is it advertised as one) it is a music player with a volatile memory that could actually disappear at anytime so it should not be trusted as a store for valuable files.
To salvage your music you will have to use some 3rd party application on your PC/Mac (you fail to say) such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.html], Google for other options. This is not guaranteed to work but hopefully you will get your music back.
Then back up.
Good luck,
Dud.
