MP3 Player not detected by Macbook

I have an Archos Gmini XS202s mp3 player, which I've been quite happily using on my PC for a while now, but when I plug it into my Mac, the player says it's connected, but the Mac doesn't show anything on the desktop, and the Finder doesn't show anything either.
If I go into 'About this Mac', and then 'More Info', it shows the Gmini connected to the Hi-speed USB, but I can't access it.
The mp3 player doesn't need any software.
I'm a new Mac User, so I could just be doing something really stupid, but I would appreciate any help.
elmo

This is from the Archos site:
Macintosh™ OS X
If you have OS X, you must update to version 10.3.9 or newer. You must also change the Gmini™’s USB Port setting to ‘Hard Disk’. From the main menu, go to Setup>System>USB Port and change it to ‘Hard Disk’.
You will now simply plug the Gmini™ into your Macintosh® as enumerated above, and
within a few seconds, the Gmini™ will be recognized as a mass storage device (Hard Disk)and mount on the desktop. You can now use the hard drive called Gmini XS202 like any other external hard drive.

Mp3 Player not detected in Vista ,I need drivers for Creative Zen Micro in Windows Vista 32-b

Hi ,?Im trying to install my Creative Zen Micro in windows Vista , But A Compatibility Problem appear and i can't install it .Windows Show me that a new hardware is found? and what i have to do , i Install it with the CD , but The installation can't be successful and a message saying me i have to contact Creative Support for the dirvers appear and the installation can't be completed. I've tryied to contact creative suport , but they don't find solution . I've searched the drivers but they wasn't found in creative site web . If anybody Have a solution for install my zen micro or can help me , please ... I have to buy another Mp3 Player ? This have a solution ?Thanks ,i hope that you can help me. Regards

I updated my Firmware as stated by Creative Labs support team. I downloaded on my son's PC which has Window's XP Pro edition. Again, on his PC there is no problem with recognition of the device and/or player. However, when I plug my player into my PC which has Vista, the device manager has a "!" next to ZEN Micro Photo. So my PC "See's" the player. However, when you right click and then go to "Properties" it states that "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)" Then it states to "reinstall the drivers" But when I tried to install or reinstall the "Driver" using the install wizard, I get an error message... "An error occurred during the installation of the device" and " A service installation section in this INF is invalid" Then a pop bubble appears and says "Found new hardware" You may have a problem with your device. It may not be working properly" So what do I do at this point. The only way for me currently to download music is to use my son's PC. At least I have another option... I feel sorry for the rest of you. When will creative wake up and smell the Vista!!

Having problems connecting a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz i7 to a Sony KDL-32L5000 using a display miniport to DVI adapter (DVI to VGA cord). The TV is not detecting the macbook. Anyone have this problem?

You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked.

Can you download the music to any mp3 player (not an ipod)? If yes, how?

Not using itunes.
You can use the music on other music players that support the format that itunes uses.
Consult the manual for instructions on how to put music on the player.

Mp3 Player not showing?

I have a cheap mp3 player (not iPod) that is not showing anywhere when I plug it in. Prior to installing Lion, it showed up no problem (on desktop, in disk utility etc) even when using the keyboard usb port.
Any suggestions please?

It may not be compatible with Lion.
Check the manufacture website for Lion compatible updates.

External HD not detected in MacBook but iBook

Hi All:
I have below systems with me >
* iBook G4 running Tiger with 1GB memory
* Previous MacBook running Tiger with 2GB memory
* New MacBook running Leopard with 4GB memory
* New iMac running Leopard with 4GB memory
I have a 100GB external HD connected to my iBook for 2 years now, via USB. And my Previous MacBook used to read and access data from the same HD too. I dunno if I have changed any setting or any software update technically forbid the access from any other Mac systems except iBook, which I bought with.
In iBook, the external HD works perfectly. I eject it, connect it to any of my MacBook now, the light on the device is turned on but nothing moves in Finder. There's no icon, unlike in iBook where a USB HD icon appears below Macintosh HD. I tried to partition and erase everything, remain Mac OS (Journaled) format, but no luck. It's properly detected and accessible by iBook but not any others.
Have I possible changed anything without knowing it ? Can someone share with me what to do next ? The external HD works well but I dun understand why none of other Mac systems recognise it, except the original iBook. Thank you.

Hi:
I am using a 100GB from Samsung. Should have mentioned earlier. It's USB-powered. I never use it with any adapter. I just plug it into iBook G4 and in less than 2 seconds time, drive pops up in Finder perfectly.
However with MacBook running either Leopard or Tiger, the light will be on and you hear it spinning. I tried to plug in adapter last night, still no luck.
I re-partitioned to GUID or Master Boot or Apple, either Mac Extended (Journaled) or MS-DOS, none of them works.
Then, last night I tried to boot-camp Windows XP and to my surprise, it was detected without any problem ! Oh...... So now I think the problem is not in USB port, not in the power adapter (which I never use), not in the format, it's in Tiger or Leopard for MacBook.
Tiger I use on iBook G4 is 10.4.11 (no problem at all)
Tiger I use on MacBook is also 10.4.11 (not detected but light is on)
Leopard I use on MacBook is 10.5.2 (not detected but light is on)
I spent so much time transfer data from external HD to iBook then to iPod then to MacBook. I just dun understand. Thank you for all your posts. ^_^

Benq MP771 projector does not detect my Macbook???

hello,
i recently purchased a benq mp771 short throw projector to use with my Macbook (2007). I had been told by the manufacturers that it is not compatible with macbook pros but works with macbooks. I was using osx 10.4 and had no problems using the projector. My hard drive crashed and after replacement it came with osx 10.5. I'm now running with 10.5.8. I have recently tried using the projector with my macbook but it seems unable to detect the laptop. My computer detects the projector no problem. I'm running a DVI to VGA input. It appears that the system upgrade may have made my computer undetectable. I wondered if anyone could offer any possible solutions other than downgrading the osx.
cheers

SBH9150 philips bluetooth headphone not detected in macbook pro retina 13"

I just purchased an SBH9150 philips bluetooth headphone. But my macbook pro retina 13" could not detect it. Anybody can help? It is perfectly working with my iphone 5.

Unpair it from your phone and then try pairing it to your Mac.
Does the Mac see any BT devices like KB or mouse?

FM Radio in MP3 Player Not Work

The FM Radio Autoscan function of my newly bought 256MB MuVo TX FM MP3 player does not seem to be functioning properly.
During the st time I performed autoscanning, the player was only able to register a few radio channels. Channels like 93.3FM and 92.4FM were missing. Hence, I tried a second time. Again, some of the channels were missing after autoscanning was completed.
I brought the MP3 player with me while I travelled on the bus and tried listening to the few channels and realised that the channels which I could receive on my player depended on the region the bus was in. At some places, all the preset channels were available for listening. At certain areas, only 2 preset channels could be heard.
After I went back home, I decided to try my luck at the autoscanning again. This time, I was not able to get ANY channels registered on my player. I have tried umpteen times but to no avail.
Are the radio and autoscan functions of my player faulty?

fischeri,
That is normal for auto-scanning. Auto scanning depend greatly on the reciption of the radio signal. If the signal is not strong enough, the auto scanning will not lock and register the station and will continue to scroll to the next strongest available signal. Can you manually lock the preset station?

Simple mp3 player not working :( action script error

Hi Everyone!
I'm wondering if anyone can help with this problem:
I am currently designing a website and creating a simple mp3 player with an on / off function but doesn't appear to be working. I am getting this error:

1083: Syntax error: end of program is unexpected.

I have uploaded a zip file containing the images and FLA file. I'm wondering if someone wouldn't mind taking a look for me and telling me how to fix this problem:

Thanks

Hi Davies,
On line 19 don't break the line, Flash will do it for you... other aspect that I would recomend is to not put the '$' on the variables. In AS2 variables don't need to be declared as such (although it's a good policy), instead of the '$' put the 'var' word, as you already have in those variables.

MP3 player not playing as music is marked as 'Protected conte

Hi.
I am the happy owner of a Creative MuVo player. I have copied some music to the player, but not all tracks are played.
I believe its because some tracks have been marked as protected content (can be viewed by selecting properties).
All tracks have been ripped from my own (original) CD, so I should have the legal rights to copy to my MP3.
Some time ago a got a new laptop and copied my entire music library from the old one to the new one. It seems as though I only have troubles with tracks ripped on the old one.
Could someone please advise my how to remove the protection flag so I can use my MP3 player instead of ripping all my CD's again?
Thanks in advance.

allander,
The protection license might not have been transfer over to your new pc from the old one and unfortunately the protection can't be removed. Did you try transferring those audio files through Mediasource or Windows Media Player to the player as these protected files need such application for transfer.

Flash player not detected since latest update?

This morning when I logged onto my machine, I was notified
that there was an update to the Adobe Flash Player. I went ahead
and let it install. Afterward, I went to a website to do some work,
but found when I got there that the site's flash player detection
code was failing, and I was provided with a link to download the
latest version. So, I went to Adobe's site and ran the install
again, and it went to the screen where the little flash movie pops
up to show that the install was successful. However, upon returning
to the website I originally came from, it was still not detecting
the Flash Player!
I went directly to Adobe's website, and even their front page
isn't detecting the flash player, as it put me at an static version
of the site. I tried going into the control panel page for the
Flash Player, due to reading a forum post here saying there was som
cab file thing I might need to mess with to fix this problem, but
the control panel page just notifies me that I need to download the
player.
When even the creator's home page doesn't recognize that I've
installed its product, that seems like a serious problem to me.
I've gone to a number of other sites with heavy flash content, and
95% of them told me to download the latest version of the Flash
Player. I think something about the player's detection process is
broken. I even completely uninstalled the player and reinstalled it
from scratch, and it's still not working.
Any ideas?
ADDENDUM: This appears to be an IE 7 issue, as Firefox is
having no trouble getting the player detected.

After JUST posting the above message i found another thread
on this site that is focusing on the same problem. I found a
solution in that thread that worked with a few mods for XP. Again I
am running XP SP2 and IE6.
Here's the solution as posted, I think for a Vista user that
was experiencing the same behavior from Flash:
1. Go to WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash and find uninstaller
2. After you run uninstaller the "Flash" folder should
disappear itself...if not, you manually delete it
3. Install the flash player again with the file you download
from adobe
http://www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_msi
I followed step 1, but the only uninstaller i could find in
the Flash folder was an unistaller for the Flash9.ocx, so i ran it.
It however did NOT delete the Flash folder itself, so i did what
step 2 recommended and deleted the Flash folder altogether. Then I
went to Adobe's site at
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
and downloaded the Flash9 installer, ran it, and bingo! Flash works
again.

MP3 player not recognized in OSX 10.4.x

I just bought a new mp3 player and it's not being recognized by my mac. What can I do? The specs of the mp3 player are here: http://oracom.co.kr/english/product_870.html
Is there any way to have OSX recognize the device? It says that it's good for OSX up to 10.3.5. Would that be because of the FAT/FAT32 file structure?

Does it not show on the desktop at all? Are you connecting it to USB2 on your Mac or by any chance by a USB1 socket for a mouse?
Actually searching through Google I've found a way to hook it up, and I can transfer my files. Thank you. My only issue now is that all of my songs come up with mirrored .files. I have files like "songname.mp3" and then a second one called ".songname.mp3" that show up on the mp3 player, but not in finder. Is this a result of copying my music over from the iTunes folder via finder? Is there any way to automatically have the songs copied over with iTunes similar to using an iPod? Or is that just an iPod-only feature?
