I have problem with media sync.  It keeps saying that it can't connect to my device.  Has anyone figured out this problem?  Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forums,
Device OS version can be found in OPTIONS/STATUS version is 4.x.x.xxx.
Try this:
Bring up media sync with USB connected to PC:
No data will be lost when doing the following: pull the battery while the device is ON. Replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min,.
Connect USB cable to BB and try to sync.

  • Are you having problems syncing with Pocketmac, Missing Sync or Media Sync? Here's what I did...

    Just throwing this out there as a solution that worked for my situation. It may not work for everyone's needs.
    After NUMEROUS emails back and forth with Pocketmac support I was finally told that Pocketmac will not work if Media Sync is also installed. It causes the "Error 1 Skipping" problem due to a USB driver conflict. So I tried Missing Sync's free trial. No good. It would not sync either, so paying money for the non trial version wasn't going to happen.
    So, I ended up keeping Media Sync to keep my iTunes library synced and I started to use a wonderful little free app called "Google Sync". It works beautifully for my needs. It runs in the background (with no negative effect to the BB's performance or battery life) and automatically syncs your gmail contacts and google calendar to your BB device. If you change something on either the BB itself or online, google sync catches it and updates the other accordingly. 
    So if your sick and tired of messing around with Pocketmac and Missing Sync, give Google Sync a try. I love it! 

    it was only burning at 4x even though 47x was requested.
    That's a issue discussed in the past.
    It turns out that 8X DVD burning means about 47X CD burning - you were requesting 8X DVD but only got 4X DVD burning.
    I haven't seen it discussed anymore so maybe Apple got around to eliminating that 'quirk' in terminology.
    I suspect some of the early 8x DVD burners didn't perform as advertised. I'm glad your new 16X burner is working for you.

  • Can't get itunes onto my Pre with Media Sync

    I've been trying to use the Media Sync to get some of my itunes onto my Pre for ringtones, but I just can't do it.  I went though all the steps listed in the Palm Support section titled: "Use Media sync mode to synchronize photos, music, and videos through iTunes".  I got all the way to step 7 and was right on par with the directions.  I plugged in the phone to the USB, itunes opened up, but the screen did not look like the one in the directions at all.  It was the normal screen for my itunes.  When I got to step 7, my itunes never recognized my Pre as a device, and  I couldn't go any further.  Palm says:
    Follow the steps in iTunes to synchronize files to your phone. Visit Apple’s website to learn how to sync:
    Music and podcasts: support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    Photos: support.apple.com/kb/HT1678
    Videos: support.apple.com/kb/HT1333
    I tried the link Palm provided to Apple support, but Apple doesn't tell you how to work with anything other than a genuine ipod or iphone, so that was no help at all.  Does anyone know how to do this?  I'm just trying to get some **bleep** ringtones!!!!  I can't even buy any through verizon because for some reason that service isn't available for Palm Pre's yet!!!!

    It's really easy to manually move stuff from iTunes to your phone using it as a USB drive. Open iTunes and plug in your Palm and choose USB drive when it pops up. When the window for the phone opens, you can drag and drop songs/podcasts from your iTunes library directly to your phone. After you eject your phone from the computer you will be able open the music player and you will see the files to play..... Haven't tried ringtones (I make my own) but I'm assuming its the same.....

  • 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.

  • BB 8330 Media Manager, Media Sync hanging - not connecting...

    (I just know this is treated in depth somewhere but after a couple of hours of searching, I can't find it so appologies in advance...)
    I have a BB 8330 from Verizon running v4.5.0.77 - no media card.
    Using Device Manager, the:
    Driver version is: 4.1.0.4
    Driver Node Strong Name is: oem25.inf:RIM:RimUsb.Device.NT:4.1.0.4:usb\vid_0fca&pid_8004&mi_00
    Windows thinks the driver is up to date.
    I am running  Desktop Manager v4.7.0.32[Nov 4 2008]
    When I launch DM, I can successfully Back up my BB.
    On my Vista PC - When I attempt to launch  Media Manager 9, it has found the files in the Library but it goes into a wierd loop where it keeps seeing the F: drive and then removes it and then resets and then sees it again - forever (or at least for the day that I left it in that loop)
    I loaded the DM on another PC running XP and observe a similar behavior - it's not quite as zippy so it just looks more like a hang
    To try something different, I downloaded Media Sync v2.0.0.22 and, when the BB is connected, I get the error: "BlackBerry Media Sync failed to connect to your BlackBerry device. Click Retry to try again or Cancel to disconnect." - I get the same error with and without the DM running.
    Something seems sort of hinky in that, while my BB is plugged in on my Vista system, occassionall I get the lights flashing on my keyboard like someting is resetting the USB every few minutes (unrelated Vista crap?).
    Please help...

    You are going to want to get a media card if planning to add music-ringtones-pictures-videos.  Don't want to use up device memory.  It'll go fast.

  • Media Sync Doesn't Work for Mac

    "Whether it's a specific iTunes® playlist or a random mix of tunes, it's easy to sync the music from your Mac computer to your BlackBerry smartphone."
    That's how Blackberry describes Media Sync. Unfortunately, it doesn't see any of my iTunes playlists and always gives me the error "Exceeded Memory Limit" regardless of the free space available.
    My Mac OS is 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard) and I have the latest version of BB Desktop Manager which has Media Sync integrated.  I've seen this complaint on virtually every BB forum - has anyone managed to make it work?
    I really think that this is a serious misrepresentation of the software's capabilities and I shouldn't have to resort to third-party apps after what I'm paying for the phone and the service contract.

    Hey ARM77,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    There is a few things I will suggest to hopefully fix this issue for you.
    1. Is mass storage mode currently enabled when you hook your BlackBerry to the Mac?  If not please read KB13564.
    2. Is your iTunes updated to the very latest version?
    3. Verify that your media card has a sufficient amount of memory available for the playlists. To check this, perform the following:
    In BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, click Device Options. On the Media tab, decrease the amount of memory that is kept free for files other than your music files.
    than your music files.

  • "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.

    I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
    Thanks very much for your feedback.

  • Media Sync Connection Problems

    I've recently purchased a Storm (9530) and have installed DM 4.7 and Media Sync (1.1.0.24) directly from the blackberry site including a clean uninstall of all RIM software.  Media Sync installs, but everytime I connect my 9530 I can see my PIN but can not do anything else.  The 'Options' tab is grayed out and no playlists from iTunes show up.
    After scouring this site I've attempted about every remedy shown thus far.  Here are some details:
    - Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
    - 9530 OS .75
    - Run Media Sync as administrator & have compatability mode set to XP Service Pack 2
    - Have wiped handheld already
    - Have reformatted the media card already (both in 9530 and also on my computer in a card reader)
    - Both the 9530 and the Media card do show up via Windows Explorer
    - Mass Media Storage set to 'On'
    - Launch Media Sync by desktop icon
    - iTunes 8.0.2.20 (problem also with iTunes 7.7)
    - Music is DRM-free MP3 (it does sync via WMP)
    - iTunes library and music are in default locations(...user\music\iTunes)
    What else could be causing this problem? Thanks in advance.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    If you have a media card plug the BB in and see if you can find it as a removable drive, this will test the cable.
    Try using these USB drivers:

    Your device is not recognized by Bb media sync. Please check that:
    A media card is installed correctly in your BB device. ( I know it is because my BB now states 7.3 MB available).
    Mass storage mode is turned on for your BB device. ( I have changed the settings to media card support as per the FAQ (it is ON).
    So I cannot  Sync my itunes songs to my BB is the bottom line.
    I have BB v4.2.2.180( platform 2.5.0.36).
    I have done the following actions to fix this problem:
    Deleted media sync, then reinstalled it again.

    You're out of space.   Do you sync music to your phone?   If so, try syncing it over in 128kb which will save a lot of room.   Option is right in front of you in iTunes when you plug phone in.

  • What is the max song limit for wifi media sync? Getting spinning clock and device acts locked up...

    Okay,
    So my device has been working fine for quite a while and I moved over OS6 when it was made available to the beta testing group about a month ago.
    So I decided to try out the wifi media sync last night and it took Desktop Manager about an hour to even come up with the list of music.  After I saw all my songs listed I synced over a few songs via USB to get the wireless sync portion all setup and make sure it was working.
    After I unplugged my device from USB and let it do it's thing over wifi it started up with the spinning clock and became VERY unresponsive.  Now everytime I start it up, it is somewhat workable for 1 minute or so and then the spinning clock comes back. (Even though I have shut off Wifi so it won't continue to attempt syncing)  I actually let it sit and run overnight but the device had a 601 error when I woke up and it needed a reset.  When it came back up it resumed with the spinning clock again.
    I'm thinking it's the number of files I have in my library, about 45,000...
    What's the most you've ever tried to use with media sync???  There is no provision inside the desktop manager as far as selecting which library you would like to sync or a way to reduce the number of songs it sees.  Only way to do this appears to be changing media player's libraries so that it doesn't see all the files.
    Really, I would like to be able to sync some of those files, but all of them are not needed.  And the fact that it basically makes my device unusable is the biggest problem.  I'm in the process of trying to disable it completely via desktop manager so I can have my device back....
    I looked around at various forums and can't seem to find anyone else running into this.  Anyone here had a similar or related problem?  What did you do to get around it?

    One other thing I found... It was still doing the spinning clock and locking up, but it took a while after boot for the problem to crop up.
    I pulled the media card and found that there was a media sync folder under Blackberry\System that had some files in there that were pretty big.  The artwork file was over 150MB and some other files were largish.
    I deleted the entire media sync folder and now it seems to be behaving itself.  No more spinning clock and it seems to be slowly returning to normal.  (Besides all the messages it deleted during the whole process)
    If anyone else runs into this I would say you should clean the folder off the media card along with disabling the sync.  Seems the BB still reads that folder and processes it if present.

  • 8120 Media Sync - "Your device is not recognized by Blackberry Media Sync"

    I got a new (refurbished from ebay) Pearl 8120.  I just downloaded the newest Desktop Manager and Media Sync software.  The Desktop Manager  works fine with the Pearl.  The 8GB microSDHC card was formatted and has worked fine in the phone so far.  However, when I try to use the Media Sync software, I get this error:
    "Your device is not recognized by Blackberry Media Sync.  Please check that
    (1) a memory card is installed correctly in your Blackberry device
    (2) mass storage mode is turned on for your blackberry device."
    I have checked both these things.  I have tried running the program in XP compatibility mode and as administrator.  Also, my computer doesn't recognize the phone as a mass storage device (is it supposed to?).  I can always use my card reader to put files on my card, but I'd like to be able to use the Media Sync software.
    My OS is version 4.5.0.124
    edit: Now it sometimes tells me "You need to turn on mass storage mode from the connected Blackberry Device and click Retry.  This may require you to reconnect your device."
    In my settings I have Mass Storage Mode Support: On.  Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected: Yes.
    I've reconnected the device and everything.  I've reloaded the card and restarted the phone.  Media Sync still gives me errors and Windows still doesn't see the phone as a mass storage device.

    Hi, a simple solution is to take out humbly your previous phone from the closet (or thrashbin), put the microSD card into it and connect it to PC again. And you thought you would never use it again once you have that "awesome" Blackberry... :-)
    I did this with my Nokia 6120. Also works with any standard microSD reader.

  • 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 !

    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
