Media Sync and windows 7

Hello,
Apparently windows 7 and media sync do not currently work together. What I mean by this is that when installing Blackberry Media Sync I receive a message explaining to me that "an unsupported operating system was detected. The following operating systems are supported: Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista." After this, the installation explains that it will now exit without setting up. Is there something that I can do to get around this. I mean obviously I can just remove the SD Card and insert it into my laptop that way to make change but I would much rather be able to make changes to my media through the Desktop Manager.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
You can use a PC to transfer info between the PC and the media card.
Basically you will attach the USB to the BB and the PC. Don't use desktop
manager. Go to "My Computer" on the PC and the BB will show as a flash drive.
Then you can "drag and drop" files to the BB.
Use the following settings in the memory option of the Storm:
Media card support ON
Encryption mode NONE
Media transfer protocol ON (Storm and Bold only)
Mass storage support ON
Auto enable Mass storage support when connected ON

Media Sync and Windows 2000

Hello,
I'm using for few days a BlackBerry Curve 8900 with a PC under Windows 2000.
Did anybody kept the installation package for Media Sync V2, which seems to be compatible with Windows 2000 ?
Only the V3 is available on the BlackBerry site.
Thanks !

Blackberry Media Sync and Windows 7 Beta

I recently downloaded the new Windows 7 Beta from Microsoft and set my computer up as a dual boot system (along side Vista) just to check it out and experiment. One of the issues i've noticed is that some installation programs do not recognize Windows 7 as a supported OS (no surprise here since it is just a Beta) even though it is more or less, Vista. One of these installation programs is the installer for Blackberry Media Sync. Was just wondering if anyone might have information on how to get around this, or, if RIM is working on updates to support the new OS. I know this is more an issue with Windows than it is with RIM, but it would be nice if RIM included the OS as an option. Thanks for your time, cheers to all.

OK guys I am not a geek I have no idea how to do this stuff. But it is Jan 2011 and I could not get my new laptop to recognize the Blackberry Curve 9700 so I could sync it up. What I did to solve this is I synced up the device with my old desktop, which I had not done in over 6 months after I had a hard drive crash on a laptop. Whatever happened, the device ended up with a bunch of new software on it and when I put it on the new laptop it synced up just fine. I don't know if this will help anybody but I hope so.

8520 media sync and windows 7 issues

I have a 16GB microSD card in my 8520. When I try to sync music via itunes playlists and the BB Desktop manager, evry few minutes (or less!) a box pops up from Windows 7 asking if I want to scan and repair the F drive (SD card in the BB), or continue without scanning. Whichever option I choose it seems to come back after a few minutes again, and every time it does it interrupts the sync process and I have to start again. Any ideas?
ta
dq

thanx for your reply. The card is FAT32, and files transfer with no problems if I just drag and drop on Windows Explorer, even when the card is still physically inside the phone. just did 4GB of music folders to check. It seems to be an issue with the Desktop software "losing touch" with the MC during transfers. Is it possible just to copy the m3u playlist over and the BB will pick it up?

Blackberry Media Sync causes Windows "Blue Screen of Death"

I recently suffered a very inconvenient (and costly) "Blue Screen of Death" just after disconnecting my Pearl 8110 (using Media Sync. I run Windows XP).
I was wondering whether the Blackberry hardware or software had in some way caused this - and whether I should be concerned about using Media Sync in the future.
Any thoughts?

Who knows? It is possible. There are a couple of threads on here about this (although not Media Sync, just DTM). Check out this thread: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Desktop-Software/Upgrade-of-Desktop-software-resul...
They mention they found a fix for the problem they were seeing on XP (SP2, not SP3).
I consistently get a system crash immediately on plugging in my BB. I am running 64-bit Vista SP2. I haven't found a solution, yet. And, I have a RAID drive, and have to suffer through a several hour image rebuild after the crash, so I understand "costly." At least I can still use the machine while it rebuilds.

"Media Sync" and "Home Media" on the Nseries - how...

I've set up Home Media on the N79, and right now, if I try to browse to it from Windows, I get nothing. As far as Windows is concerned, there's no files being shared from it, I guess. It just loads up WMP and shows me my local library.
Now, there's also Media Sync. I've got that set up to manually sync my Captured Photos and Captured Videos to my home network, and it'll happily scan what files are available, but then when I get it to Sync, it does nothing. If I get it to show me what files are synced to the network, there's obviously nothing there, because it's not syncing anything. It thinks that syncing is disabled for all available sync-to-network file types, regardless of my settings.
So my question is, has anyone got playing to/from devices over the network with Home Media to work, or Media Sync to the network to work? Ever? I can't find any examples online of somebody who's actually used either of these features successfully. How did you do it?
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, but I've got it all configured right, it just doesn't do anything on "Sync To". After running the wizard, my N79's still sent to "synching off" for all items in the "to home" section, and the only options outside of the wizard are:
Target devices: This just shows a box marked "synchronisation off" with a check-box which can't be cleared
Keep on phone: This just sets file size for after syncing.
"Sync From" works fine but being able to automatically back up my pics over the WLAN is more useful to me than being able to grab music automatically over the same.
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

Problems with BB Media Sync and Curve 8330

I having problems getting BB Media Sync to work with my curve 8330. Some background info:
I am using Windows 7 (I have also tried connecting it on a PC running XP to no avail).
I have an 8 GB microsd card in my curve.
BB Desktop software recognizes my BB.
Windows Explorer does however does not (no removable storage shows up in My Computer (this is true on both my PC running 7 and the one running XP).
I have already checked that mass storage is enabled.
The error message that I get is "Your device is not recognized by Blackberry Media Sync...".
My BB flashes the connecting screen for about a second and then says "Connected to Desktop" when I open BB Media Sync but to no avail.
I have also already tried formatting the microsd card in the blackberry "Media" menu.
I have tested to make sure that its not a USB connection problem and that is not the issue.
I'm at a loss of what else there is to do, can anyone help please?
Thank you in advance.

I am having a similar problem with my Curve 8330, though I use a Mac and have tried connecting to a PC to only get the same results.
I have a 4GB Micro SDHC
My BB will connect with BB Desktop Manager to sync calendars, contacts, etc. but no media
Although the computer and the Phone communicate via Desktop Manager, my BB device does not show up in finder
I get an error message that says mass media storage mode must be activated
I have activated these features under Options/Media Card: Media Card Support - On; Encryption Mode - None; Mass Storage Mode Support - On; Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected - Yes
I have reformatted my Micro SDHC card

Media manager and windows media center

How do I set the Fios Media manager to stream content from the Windows media center to the TV? I was able to set up media manager on a Vista desktop. Would like to set it up on 64 bit new laptop that can be upgraded to windows 7. Please provide step by step instructions.

I do not think you can do this unless you can convert the Windows Media Center recording to a type of file which is supported by Verizon Media Manager. Media Center files have an extension of *.dvr-ms. Verizon Media Manager ONLY supports .avi, .wmv, .flv, 3gp/3g2, .mpg(non-mpeg 2 videos) and .mp4/m4v files. I have been meaning to try this as well, but have not yet.
Can anyone recommend a good and free video converter for this?
Blame MS for this... that is using a propriety video format...
Let us know if successful.

Problems with Ipod and Windows Media Player PLEASE HELP

Ok i am not sure if this is the correct forum or not but i am having a problem. I have a Windows computer (Yes a windows computer please dont everyone yell at me) and i have a new ipod 30 gig video. Ok well when i put itunes on it changes all my music on my computer gets changed to AAC format and i cannot play music in windows media player. Ok well that is not my big issue. I make videos for church using windows movie maker and i cannot import music because nothing windows can recognize Itunes format which is AAC. well is there anyway so i can use itunes and still use WIndows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker... Any info will be greatly appreciated. THANKS ALL

I believe Quicktime Pro (which is available for Windoze) is capable of opening any WMP files and then you just export it as iPod format. That is how I get video onto the iPod. The Music and Videos all can be placed onto your iPod through iTunes.
So, if you are creating videos in your program, and want them on your iPod, then that is how you can do it.
Videos on your iPod have nothing to do with the formatting of your music. But, as the earlier post stated, change your prefs in iTunes to import as MP3. But, your videos HAVE to be in MP4 or M4V format to work on the iPod.
Good luck... and I'm a j3susfreak too
