Mac Media Transfer Error 208

Hello,
I just got an N95 which I have updated to the latest firmware. I have a 2GB SanDisk card inside.
I've used the Mac Media Transfer software to browse my device and copy to iPhoto.
Things get strange when using the music sync. It's worked on only a couple of occassions. Most of the time it thinks about it 'preparing to transfer' and then stops with an error 208!!
I was wondering what this meant?
If there is no memory card it will sync fine so I think it may be the card.
I've formated the memory card and Nokia Maps runs fine from it.
I keep all my media on an external hard disk but iTunes has no problem playing from here and the n95 transfers to iPhoto fine through this.
I've got an iBook G4 Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218)
N95-1 firmware 12.0.013
Any ideas??

Sounds like a bad file that's being hit by the transcoding process, but not without the memory card because the file wouldn't fit on the device in that case.
I can suggest you to upgrade to NMT 1.3 Beta(if you are using old version) otherwise you have to try finding the bad file.
Start tranfer with 1 file, then add more and more until it breaks again.

i dont have a solution, but i have a path for you to follow. this is not a simple fix, but rather a place to look for ways to fix it. it is similar in nature to modifying an iSync plugin in order to make iSync work (back before nokia did this for you)
1. right-click (or ctrl-click) the Nokia Multimedia Transfer.app package (the application icon itself)
2. choose 'Show Contents'
3. Contents->Resources->Profiles
4. open up the file n95.profile in 'Property List Editor'
note: i think this came with the developer tools? i'm sure you can find it somewhere, it's an apple app
in my version of this file i see Root->profiles->0->profileName = n95_v1
in your shoes i'd try modifying this file. you likely can create an copy of Root->profiles->0 and call it Root->profiles->1
then just change the version to n95_v2 or v3 or whatever.
you may have to change more in this file, or more files. i dont have an n95_v2 or v3 to play with.
do this and succeed, and you'll have made quite a few ppl happy, including yourself
good luck and happy hacking!
N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

Wireless file/media transfer to/from Xperia Z3 to/from PC/Mac

What is the easiest way you would recommend for file/media transfer to/from Xperia Z3 to/from PC/Mac wirelessly?

Perhaps bluetooth

Appropriate media transfer for mac app wont open o...

Nokia media transfer application for "mac osx 10.4.11 and later" cannot be opened. My OSX 10.4.11 will not allow me to open the downloaded app. claiming I "cannot use this application with this version of MAC OS X" although it is supposedly adequate. Please help! My phone is a N85

I now have the 1.3 version, for some reason the USB connection cant find the device which is strange as it is a new cable, and it does charge my phone.
Anyway I am trying to transfer my photos using bluetooth, but i-photo says the files on my mobile are unreadable.
Any ideas as to what is going on?

Mac OS error -208 when opening MIDI files in Quicktime Pro

Quicktime no longer plays MIDI files. it used to. now i get the Mac OS error -208 claiming the file is corrupted. but i can play the file on a PC, and other people receiving the files by email can open them (though a few other Mac owners are now also having trouble for the first time).
this problem started about two weeks ago. i did nothing different to my machine (MacBook pro), and wonder if a background system update is to blame.
i uninstalled Quicktime and reinstalled it. no luck. any ideas?

here's some further clarification, provided by John Hetland, who worked out the fix:
1. The MIDI analyzer I used is a cool freeware program midi2txt.exe from
http://www.gnmidi.com/
2. When I ran midi2txt with the -error switch and the name of the MIDI file,
it said something like "Warning: 21 bytes of garbage at end of file." It
turned out that the MIDI file was made in fixed-length records, and there
was space left over in the last record. This situation is simply ignored by
most players, but the current version of QuickTime apparently doesn't know
what to do if the file is not EXACTLY the length needed for the MIDI codes.
3. I can't give instructions for fixing the error because what I fixed was
not any MIDI file; I fixed the program I wrote that generated the flawed
MIDIs. But if someone should encounter this very problem in a MIDI from some
other source, and that someone has expertise in file manipulation, one
should look for hex 'FF2F00' in the last record and delete everything that
follows it.

Error: NFS3ERR_NOENT -   This is by design of OneFS, we coalesce files and then flush them out to disk which is why the commit time is accurate but the file is not immediately available. however when an async option is used within the mount options this should be avoided if writing asynchronously to the cluster. Has anyone else seen this behavior lately? (current workaround is to store locally and transfer to the cluster via Finder)

That error can happen for many reasons...one of the reasons that I occassionaly get it is because I try exporting a movie to an external drive that has been formated in the old FAT32 instead of the NTSF standard. FAT32 only allows for file sizes up to 2 gigs. And as soon as it reaches that...I would get that error. I don't know if that is why you are getting that error...but it would be easy to check. 1) are you generating a file that is over 2 gigs? 2) is your drive that you are exporting to FAT 32 (just right click the drive in My Computer and select "properties" then just look for what it says next to "file system".

Error (-208) occurs when I try to sync photos to my iPod

Whenever I try to update photos on my iPod (30GB 5.5G) I keep receiving error -208. I have tried restoring, and resting my iPod, but noting has solved this problem. However, I can transfer music, videos, and podcasts just fine. I am only having trouble transferring my photos over.

No Mass Storage/Media Transfer for OS X users...

Yesterday i purchased Nokia 808 PureView
I'm really happy to have this piece of pure technology everyday ( from now on) with me
But i am OS X user. And guess what? My 808 with Belle FP1 won't connect to my mac mini in mass storage or media transfer modes.
When i try to connect in mass storage phone becomes unresponsive ( removing battery is the only fix i know at the moment to reboot it ) Is there any other way i can reboot Nokia 808?
in media transfer nothing happens..
In windows 7 i did not experience this issues even though i launch it on the same mac
Screenshot with info about my system is attached.
P.S. I hope Media Transfer will work again on OS X soon
With Nokia N8, X7, 700 or 603 on Belle i did not have any troubles with mass storage mode on my mac mini.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

10.7.4
will definetely try this
if any additional info is needed i will post it here asap
UPDATE:
After installing double twist... i did exactly as described in those steps to get playlists synced.
Opened Itunes + Doubletwist and then connected in mass storage. And disks immediately appeared.
Then i tried to connect the phone without Doubletwist + itunes launched.
Each time It tooks 10 to 15 seconds for disks to appear in the system. Phone laggs while connecting to mac. But disks do appear after some time.
Now from 5 attempts i have mass storage 5 times.
Thank you for your time For me issue is solved.
I hope that this topic will be useful for someone.

File Transfer Error Between Ichat 2.1 and Ichat 3

I am trying to send my brother some files. He has an Ibook G4 and so do I. He is running Ichat 3 on Tiger and I am running Ichat 2.1. Both of us are using a wireless connection through our own personal cable modems. He can send me files and I can accept them and get them without problems. Every time I try to send him a file, before it starts, we get an error 'File Transfer Error' file name not transferred.
He says he has no problems receiving files from other buddies of all different types of operating systems.
I don't recall having any problems sending or receiving from any of my other buddies either.
Is this just an OS X.3 vs OS X.4 issue? Or is there something weird with my Ibook?
Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks,
-Chris

Hi cjmagnuss,
Can your brother send files to other people.
It sounds like it might be his end.
File Transfers happen on Port 5190 on the UDP protocol.
Some modems and router have problems if they have to list Protocols when Port Forwading.
Is this the case for him ?

Error -208 : There was an error in the music store

This is truly getting old. I made the jump from 5.0.1 (which had sound problems) to 6 last night. I can play my music I imported from CD just fine (skips every now and then). But, when I try to play any of the music I paid handsomely for through iTunes, I first got other errors. Now, this morning, it's Error -208: There was an error in the music store.
What is the problem here?
Is the problem with the music store or with iTunes 6?
When can a truly working fix be expected?
Whatever happened to Apple's QA? Every upgrade of iTunes since 4.7 causes more and more problems. I'm embarassed because I recommended a friend buy the new iPod two weeks ago. He's probably cussing me out left and right at the moment. And, these problems aren't just relegated to us Window's folk - the Mac folks are having their share of problem as well.
I am running on Windows 2000 SP 4 on an ASUS motherboard with 1GB RAM. I meet the minimum recommended requirements.
When can I expect the situation to be remedied?

Ok. I read just about everything on in this discussion group and Apple notes.
I then declared all out war on this this evening. I won.
Here's what I did:
1. Assumption - you have Norton AV or Norton System Works installed. I suppose it will work if you have NIS installed.
2. Removed ALL my anti-spyware programs (i.e. Spybot 1.3 and Microsoft's Anti-Spyware).
3. Rebooted.
4. Opened up Norton AV settings in Norton System Works and selected Internet Worm Protection.
5. Under Applications - Added iTunes and iTunes Helper. Set operation to PERMIT ALL.
6. Under "General Rules", I added a new rule named "iTunes".
7. Under the "Communications Tab", I added a rule to allow UDP traffic to both local and remote ports 5353.
8. Rebooted.
9. This time, when the system started, I got a message indicating that "application iTunes is trying to access the internet." Clicked on "Remember and allowed the operation.
At this point, things started working.
The removal of the Anti-spyware programs MAY or MAY NOT be necessary. I will add them back in to see if they make any difference or not.
Now - Apple, my suggestion to you is to PUBLISH the ports and protocols and network targets. I was only able to gleam the ports used because Sygate indicated that iTunes was using UDP port 5353 to communicate.
Anyway, for those of you with this problem and are running ANY of the programs mentioned here, try my recommended course of action.
Charles
P.S. Now, I need to figure out what causes the occassional skip/stutter. But, my iTunes is working.

Unknown error (-208) iPod won't update in iTunes, HELP!

Yeah, that error comes up when ever I try to update my iPod. It only started hapening today and I need to update because I'm going somewhere boaring and I need my new videos/music!
Can some one please tell me why this is happening and how to fix it!?
I still have plenty of room and I am running new versions of Mac OS X, iTunes and my iPod is up to date.

The error code could mean that you 'iTunes Library' file is corrupted.
I haven't heard about this error code in conjunction with the iPod, only know this article:
iTunes: "Error -208 Cannot Open iTunes Music Library" Alert
Try the 5 R's first.
If that leads to nothing, you may have to rebuild your library as mentioned in this article:
How to recreate your iTunes Library
Hope this helps.

Unknown Error -208 when syncing ipod

Hey Folks having some massive problems with my new ipod. A couple days ago the ipod froze when i was on the bus, after that every time i hooked my ipod into my mac i got the error -208 can not sync ipod. The thing is the ipod was updating.
While trying to Trouble shot this i did the restore ipod with itunes 7.0.2, and guess what i am still getting the error. Even more annoying since i restored i can no longer sync my contacts and calendar. when i check the sync contacts box it tells me i have no contacts.
I have looked through the different solutions in the forums and none of them have worked for me.
Any Help much appreciated.

Thanks Kylene that solved the error message and the photo's not updating. For some Reason it even solved the calender's syncing problem.
I am still having the problem of itunes not liking my contacts though. Every time i try to check the sync contacts i keep getting that my address book has no contacts.
I have deleted the application support files, as some one suggestd in another thread, and that didn't work.
But at least 2/3 of the problems are solved.
