Media Manager is faded out

I just installed the new 4.6 desktop software w/ Media Manager, but when i hook my phone up to my computer, open up desktop manager, and click on the Media Manager icon, the (left) "Media Manager" side is faded out and i cant click on the START button. What did i do wrong this time?? lol

Did you establish a usb connection to the BlackBerry first? Try hitting the word 'Options' in the upper right hand corner and choosing Connection Options. In the Connection Type change it to 'usb <pin>', then hit OK. A lot of the options will be grayed out unless you establish this connection first.

  • Media Manager does not work

    I have an 8700C.  I installed Blackberry Desktop Manager V4.6.0.12 and I have V4.2.1.96 (Platform 2.3.0.79) OS installed on my device.  When I go into the Media icon in Desktop Manager I have a split screen with Media Manager on the left and Blackberry Media Sync on the right.  The Start button for Media Manager is grayed out.  I installed Media Sync, was told to install iTunes, and then told my device is not supported for Media Sync.  I have not been able to get Media manager to work since Desktop Manager version 4.1 or 4.2. 

    Hi and welcome to the forums,
    I would recommend doing a clean uninstall of the DN v.6 with Media Manager,using the following:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
     Reboot the PC, and download and install  DM 4.6 without the media manager. If you search the forums you will see that media manager is not very stable. Personally I use the drag and drop method through Windows (must have media card installed,) very quick and efficient.
    Media sync is compatible with your phone and can be downloaded as a separate program here:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/features/media/mediasync.jsp
    Media sync does work well with your music management. However, Itunes with DRM are not able to be transferred to the Blackberry.
    Please let me know if you need any assistance!

  • Media Manager SUCKS! Help

    Ok so i've had my 8300 Curve for sometime now. I have a Windows xp 2gig ram and a P3 processer. I have a really decent computer that does pretty much everything.
    HOWEVER! When i load up my Desktop Manager and click on Media Manager.... Media Manager runs EXTREMELY SLOW often freezing and i have to pull up task manager to exit it. Sometimes i get lucky and i'm able to throw some music or pictures on my phone before it goes retarded. I new as soon as i bought the phone and installed the software and saw the name Roxio i was in for it. I hate Roxio everything. 
    Does anyone have any tips on improving performance with Media Manager?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What version of the Desktop Manager are you using? If not using 4.6, uninstall of the version you have currently installed using this prodedure: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206. Afterwards download 4.6 from here: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    There's two options to choose from, with or without Media Manager. If you choose to try media manager again you may run into the same problem (can do a search on the boards for media manager to find out more infomation about that if you choose)
    Regardless of which version of the Desktop Manager you choose it's recommended to buy a microSD card to store your media files on, so you don't run out of memory on your device.
    Depending on what OS your BlackBerry is tells you what size microSD card you can buy. You can check under Options | About (will be listed as v4.xx.xxx). Look at the chart at the following link to see what size you can obtain - http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05461
    On the BlackBerry go into Options | Media Card. Recommended media settings are as follows:
    Media Card support : ON
    Encryption Mode : NONE
    Mass Storage Support : ON
    Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected : YES
    Mass Storage mode allows your BlackBerry to act as an extra drive when connected to your PC. So it will show up as an extra drive letter in Windows Explorer. So you don't need the Desktop Manager media manager version if you choose to go with this method because you can just drag/drop media files onto your media card
    Hope this helps

  • Problems launching media manager

    I want to transfer pictures from my BB to PC and vice versa.  When I click on 'Launch' Media Manager, nothing happens.  Did I not install this properly?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Quite possibly. Is the Media Manager button greyed out? If so, then you did not install the version of DTM that includes MM (there are multiple versions). However, to move pictures, MM is not really necessary IMHO (for video files, yes, but not for stills). Rather, you could simply configure your BB as a USB drive(s) and just use Windows Explorer to do that. See this article:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/mess​age?board.id=BlackBerryDesktopSoftware&thread.id=3​...
    Otherwise, if you want to restart the DTM install completely, see this process:
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/dow​nload_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Music drop outs / stutter when listening to MP3s or Internet Radio with Verizon Media Manager

    Does anybody know when I play MP3s or listen to Internet Radio I'm getting slight drop out or stutter?
    I just downloaded and installed the Verizon Media Manager on a machine running Windows 7.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Found this answer on DSLReports...
    "This problem has reported before. It's a problem with the audio driver for 7XXX boxes that was introduced with IMG 1.9a. It also impacts iHeart radio and Pandora streaming. It is supposed to be fixed in 1.9.1, which is due sometime in the next decade."

  • When I use media manager to upres clip audio goes out of sync

    I captured a clip and put it in DVNTSC 48kHz timeline at OfflineRT NTSC (Photo JPEG) then used the media manager to create a new sequence at full DV NTSC 48kHz res. I choose "Create offline", "set sequences to DV NTSC 48 kHz", and check all the boxes. I save a new project, open the new timeline and recapture the clip. The video looks great--it recaptures in full DVNTSC 48kHz res. But the audio is out of sync (by about 28 frames it looks like). What am I doing wrong? (This is the first time I'm trying this offline-then-online-process.) thanks.

    Try exporting the iMovie project as a single full quality dv format quicktime file.
    I use iMovie6 HD and this is my usual procedure that works well.
    Make the movie in iMovie, will involve many separate clips. When finished, export (share) as a single full quality dv format quick time file. When I have an hours worth of smaller projects, I create a new iMovie project and import all of the quicktime .dv files for each separate short project. I add chapter markers in this project, then share with iDVD. I then burn an hours worth of stuff at best quality and distribute to family and friends.
    iDVD seems to work better with iMovie source that has fewer clips.
    BTW: Are you having problems with standard def or hi def iMovie source. Another part of my procedure is that I take the raw tapes and download the entire thing into one iMovie project. I don't edit or change the footage at all, just want to archive to DVD for posterity. In this case, I want to share the iMovie project with iDVD directly. This has worked OK for standard def projects, but my first hi def project (1080i) that I tried, the sound was out of sync. To fix this, I had to create a regular DV widescreen iMovie project, and drag all the clips into it from the HD project. It took over an hour for my humble mac mini to convert the files, but I was then able to share with iDVD and the finished DVD worked ok.
    Hope this helps.

  • Media Manager GRAYED OUT in Desktop Manager 4.6

    I bought my first Blackberry, an 8320 Curve, a few weeks ago.  It came with Desktop Mgr 4.3 which didn't include Media Manager.  So when I bought and installed a 4 Gb expansion card in my Curve, I downloaded the 4.6 Desk Mgr update WITH Media Manager.
    But when I click on Media Manager on the main screen,  I get a page divided in half, with Blackberry Media Sync on the righ, usable, and Media Manager on the left, all grayed out including its start button.
    I installed the Blackberry Media sync, thinking this would give me access to Media Manager, but it didn't.  I've found a number of posts reporting this problem on the net, but no proper solution to it posted yet.
    What am I doing wrong?  Thanks!!

    I understand your frustration as I spent hours on this already.  I installed and uninstalled at least 5 times.  The solution is quite simple.  Once I got this working I didn't try the sequence in a different order which likely doesn't make a difference however this is what I did.
    1.  Uninstall the device software
    2.  Uninstall the desktop software
    3.  Log into the administrator account (not an account with admininstrator rights)
    4.  Install the device software (ensuring you have the media manager version which can be found on the blackberry.com website)
    5.  Install the desktop software and suddenly the media manager starts loading
    I certainly hope this helps.  I'm certain the order of the installation is irrelevant and that the account being used to install the product is the issue.
    Good luck!

  • Audio out of sync after media managing?

    Hey! I have an interesting blip in the software found after I media managed a project of mine. Here is how I media managed the program:
    Copy media referenced by duplicated items
    Include render files
    Include master clips outide selectin
    Delete unused media from duplicated items
    Use handles of 1 sec.
    Include afiliate clips outside selection
    Base media file names on exisiting names
    Duplicate selected items and place in a new project but not including nonactive multiclip angles.
    and I ended up getting something really interesting.
    On some of my media clips, the audio associated with it had small blue bars across the top of each of the two audio channels. When an audio clip had one of these bars more often than not it only started halfway down the clip. At that point, when playing the clip from the beginning the audio would restart from the beginning of the clip again. It looks scary at first, but all that I did was control click (right click) on the clip and "remove attributes." We don't have any affects associated with these clips so nothing under the Remove Attributes box was checked, but I just clicked "OK" which seemed to effectivly refresh the clip and the audio was perfect again.
    So, I'm wondering why it did this, and what I can do to avoid it doing this in the future. I'm about ready to move on to a new job and would like to figure out how to avoid it or know if I need to write up a little something for the next person in this position to know how to deal with it and not to freak out!
    Thanks!

  • Media Manager Grayed out in Desktop manager 4.7

    Hi,
    I have downloaded Desktop manager 4.7 with media manager and tried using it still i am getting inactiveed media manager.
    please help

    Just to make sure, did you all download the Desktop Manager that came with media manager?
    Try going through the installation again but this time instead of choose the "Typical"  option choose the "Custom" one. When you get to the screen with the dropdown arrows in the middle make sure the Media Manager doesn't have an X next to it. Choose the option to run it from the computer.
    Also if you're downloading the desktop software instead of double clicking on the EXE file, right click it and choose to "Extract To" to extract all the files to a folder. After this go into the folder the you extracted the files to and look for a folder called "SR_MM" and run the "Setup.exe" file - It will take approximately 15 minutes to install the media manager software.

  • Audio/Video Out of Sync While Using Media Manager

    While viewing most video files through Media Manager, the audio is a fraction behind the video. It is not significant but it is noticeable. I have looked at the Media Manager sticky but the posts are on all different areas where the Media Manager is flawed.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this issue? I may just go back to using my original set-up. It's very surprising how bad this application is. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi mhiggins8450, I just read your post about the trouble you're having with the Media Manager.  Have you had this problem since installing the software or has this issue just started recently?  If it's been a problem since the beginning, you may want to look at removing the software and reinstalling a fresh copy.  The newest version can be found at:
    http://www.verizon.com/mediamanager
    If it's a problem that just started happening, you may want to try and reset the units.  The best way to do this would be to power down your PC, unplug the router and unplug your STB.  Leave everything unplugged for five minutes.  From this point, plug the router back in and wait for it to boot up (the Internet light will go GREEN when it's complete).  Now plug the STB back in and wait for the time to display on the front of the box.  Now turn your PC back on.  Test the Media Manager and see what happens.
    If you're still having troubles, please don't hesitate to re-post or send me a direct message.
    Thanks!

  • Suggestion - media manager to stream video out to the internet

    I have heard and seen posting about upcoming beta where one would be able to use media manager to stream video from their PC to the STB in their houses. Cool, needed but sort of expected ....
    what I am really interested is to actually be able to view the content of my DVR when I am remote from home. I would like with a browser to connect home and be able to view the show I missed.
    Now that will be cool .... (its kind of Slinbox service)

    It'll happen, I'm sure. Eventually, we'll be able to even watch Video On Demand on Verizon Wireless cell phones, and when we get home we can seamlessly transfer the streaming video from the phone to the STB/TV thanks to the Verizon One.
    Thank you,

  • Looping photo slide show in media manager

    I want to use the media manager to loop a presentation of photos from my PC. they only run through one time and then I need to hit ok on the remote to restart. Is there a repeat or continuous loop option? I want to run them throughout the day at a party
    Thanks

    What is not smooth about the transition from faded out to 100% opacity?  Is this a timeline-based animation where you have timeline tweens for the fading images?  How does the first image transition in when it first starts (visually)? How does the first image transition to the second image (visually)?  How should the last image transition to the first image (visually)?

  • Creating a new project with media manager

    This one should be obvious but I can't quite figure it out: I used media manager to recompress my project into a smaller one. Media manager did a nice job with that and placed all the files into a new folder BUT - where is the actual project file?? If I use the actual fcp project file from the original- the settings are all different and it told me that some media files are missing or too short. Doesn't media manager create a new project file that works with the new recompressed files that it just created??

    BUT - where is the actual project file??
    When you have decided on the settings in Media Manager and then tell it to do the job, the first thing you see is a dialog asking where to save the project file. Use Spotlight to search for it.
    If that doesn't turn anything up, start MM again, it might have remembered the last Save location.
