N97 Corrupted Media

Hey ya all, I got my N97 3 weeks ago and it was a kinda big upgrade to me since i`m using 7610 previously. I'm already a 8 years Nokia user including models like 8850, 8910 and also 8810.
Since 7610 is the last multimedia phone i`m using, I just drag and drop my music files into my memory card (simple and easy) not realizing that N97 is already in another world.
So the first day, i did the same thing, drag and drop my musics into my mass memory in the MUSIC folder if i`m not mistaken. I have categorised the songs by singer name in different folder but the file itself doesnt have a standard naming convention. Here is where my disappointment comes. It all went into a mess when i view using my N97.
I then access my mass memory using PC and delete all the songs I have dragged in earlier. The problem arised when I view it on my N97. It auto created many album name, singers name even I have deleted the physical file earlier using PC.
Now when I open them in my N97, or even delete, It prompts file corrupted. I cant do anything with it. Please help. Anyway I can clean up this mess?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

First of all connect the phone in the Mass Storage mode if the files are on the 32GB inbuilt hard disk. Then delete them if they exist through My Computer.
If you had put them on a memory card, then get it out of the phone and get rid of the files from your PC. Then, reinsert the card.
Once you makie sure that the files are indeed not present anymore on your device, refresh your music library. Menu->Music->Music Library->Refresh library.
Once you do this, the phone will work for sometime and then the list of non-existing albums would have gone. 
If you want to store songs on to the device, Either
1. Connect the phone in the Mass Storage Mode and copy the files you want to some place. The Music Player would list them sorted with respect to Artist, Album etc.
2. Connect the phone in Media Transfer Mode and transfer your favourite songs from the media player library to your phone..
3. Connect the phone in PC Suite Mode and use Nokia Music (comes with the N97 CD) to get the job done.
If you still experience problems, let me know. I'd be only too happy to help. I have used the N97 for 3 weeks now and I now do not have any significant problem with it.

  • Can't open certain mp3's or thumbnails on 9300, corrupt media card??

    I am also having issues with the phone! Since I updated my software 2 weeks ago my app world stopped working and now I cannot download it after deleting it. About a month ago when downloading mp3's it all of a sudden started having format issues even though the music is in the supported format. My photos that were taken with the camera turned to thumbnails that cannot be opened and that is why I decided to update the software in the first place. Since the new software update I now also have a java.lang.error when ever I reboot the phone. I'm frustrated! Anybody with tips as to how I can get these problems sorted please help! I have deleted all third party apps and the error persists. Is any of this indicative of a corrupt media card??

    Please don't poly-post...it takes time away from other equally deserving kind souls. Please work only in one of your threads for this topic...I recommend this one:

  • How to find corrupt media...Need Level 4 helpers Please!

    Thanks for reading. There's alot of info here so thanks ahead of time!
    I am at a post facility and don't have authorization to do some of the things mentioned in other posts so I need some expert recommendations (You all) in order to convince the "Post Production Facility Manager" to fix this.
    I'm working on a project that, once I quit at night and re-open in the morning...Final Cut crashes/quits at about 22% on the progress bar.
    My best workaround so far has been exporting the timeline/sequence as an XML and then re-importing into a NEW project. I do this because I usually have to go back 2 to 3 hours in the Auto Save Vault to find a project that WILL open.
    I've also deleted all the renders, removed my Boris 4.2 transitions, deleted preferences...except that I hop from bay to bay as I also get shuffled around this facility too (which adds extra fun to try to get autosaves)
    BACKGROUND: There are two systems that are intels and 2 that are G5s and we're all sharing an XSAN. Plus the "Facility Manager" also 'shares' the Raid (mounts the raid through one of the computers) while doing After Effects work from time to time (he renders on a system with the fiber card though).
    Anyhow...in AVID MC land...if you watched at the point the progress bar stops...that gives you a better indication which/where you corrupted media file is.
    There's more but I get back to it. Any ammo to use on the "Facility Manager" would be greatly appreciated as he is insistent on NEVER restarting the XSAN as it takes a half hour to restart...apparently....and he says that's not the problem.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    <<Can you not navigate to the capture scratch folder on the x-san and re name it?>>
    No, because there are 4 other editors using the Xsan and I don't/wouldn't get permission. What if I just 'Select All' on the timeline and Shift + D-it, take it offline, leave on the drive, and then reconnect?
    Plus, when I reconnect in sections, what do I do to check for corrupted media? Would I find it by playing the timeline or am I opening and closing the project each time I do a new section
    <<I will be willing to guess that the corrupt file is one of the following: a cmyk photoshop file, an imported stock shot or some other graphic file.>>
    There are only five RGB 8-bit png's in the timeline. No CMYKs. No imported QTs. No stock footage. No mixed formats. Everything is DVCPRO HD 720p60 footage digitized through the KONA 3 card.

  • MacBook Pro is corrupting media cards - any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Memory cards become corrupted when inserted into the card reader slot. When I put the card back in the camera, the camera malfunctions (Error 99 message). I have had the camera cleaned and sent in for repairs, but there in nothing wrong with it. New media cards work until they are inserted into the Mac. Now the Mac is telling me some file formats can't be read, but the format has not changed from previous images it reads off the same card, taken during the same sessions. Images I was able to see on the camera become unreadable after trying to download in the Mac. The Mac is messing up the cards -- corrupting them, so they aren't usable in the camera anymore. I have been told to try using a media card reader, but that is just a band-aid fix. Does anyone know of a real fix that could remedy this problem?

    Make sure that you haven't disable background images.

  • Corrupted media fil

    so ive just downloaded this war series, and half way through the downloading of 1 episode it says some files were corrupted. so i deleted it from itunes and click itunes downloads available and it started right where it left off. does this mean the file is still on my computer?

    I'm having the same issue. I can tell you where to find the temporary file but haven't figured out a fix yet. If you look in the Itunes folder/Itunes Media/Downloads, the temporary files should be there. I'm not sure if the path would be different for a Mac though. I've tried deleting the temp files but haven't had any luck yet...

  • Corrupted media card

    I have updated the software on my 9105 and it has corrupted my memory card, I have lost all my pics and music that was on it. Can anyone help 

    Hello miss-dusty12 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    If you connect your BlackBerry as Mass Storage to your computer (KB13564) are you able to see your pictures and music?
    Remove your battery followed by the media card. Reinsert the battery first and wait for the reboot to complete. Once done, insert the media card - is any message displayed when it is inserted? Are you now able to see the data on it?

  • Corrupted Media Player

    Whenever I attempt to play a wmv file on Media Player I get the round spinning beachball for about 2 minutes and then Media Player pops up and there is a lot of weird Chinese looking writing in the play window and the video does not play. This began happening after I watched a PBS documentary online.
    I believe that somehow either a weird plugin was put into my system, or Media Player was corrupted somehow.
    I have tried to delete my current Media Player and download a new copy to no avail. It keeps happening. This is driving me crazy and I don't know what to do. Please help!!!!!!

    I can't get any .wmv files to run on anything.
    QT 7.0.4; WMP 9, Real Player, or MPlayer for OSX.
    I've tried older .wmv file created before WMP 10 was released and still no luck.
    Being on a new Intel iMac I can't really go back to QT 6 or earlier versions of the other players.
    While I do prefer QT mpeg & .mov files for the quality, there are too many news videos that just won't play.

  • Error 1335: file corrupted Media.cab (CS3 Web Premium)

    ING
    Hello,
    I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and am having trouble reinstalling the applications.
    I had to remove them from my switch and when I reinstall the error 1335 appears corrupted file, in case Media.cab, I saw my media and is a risk with it, but do not know whether this risk is due. I wonder if someone had the same problem, it failed to respond or if you can put the Media.cab of CS3 Web Premium for me to download.
    Have I contacted the media in Brazil, but the clerk informed me that they do not give more support for this product and that I should contact the forum to try to solve.
    (Note: Sorry my English, translated on the Web)
    PT_BR
    Olá,
    Tenho o Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium e estou tendo problemas em reinstalar os aplicativos.
    Tive que remover eles do meu comutador e quando fui reinstalar aparece o Erro 1335 de arquivo corrompido, no caso Media.cab, estive vendo minha mídia e está com um risco nela, porém não sei se é decorrente deste risco. Gostaria de saber se alguém teve o mesmo problema, se conseguiu responder ou se consegue colocar o Media.cab do CS3 Web Premium para eu baixar.
    Já entrei em contato com o suporte no Brasil, porém a atendente me informou que não dão mais suporte a este produto e que eu deveria entrar em contato pelo fórum para tentar resolver.

    I am installing a brand new MacPro with OS X 10.5.2. It is a machine upgrade for the user so all of her previous user files were also transferred during the setup. Two days ago we got our new CS3 site license upgrade discs and I was using it to install a fresh copy of CS3 Standard. We had a 5 user license disc that we were using to test before deploying CS3 to the users so we know that we can install from that disc, unfortunately it is a CS3 Premium disc and a different serial number.
    Also of note, once the setup.app crashes (actually it never really launches) other apps, like Safari also will no longer launch. I have repaired disk permissions and the next thing I will try is installing as another user, but it looks like you guys have already tried that.
    Any help would be wonderful, this user returns from vacation on Monday!
    Thanks,

  • Corrupt media causing dropped frames? FCP shuts down without warning.

    Hello,
    I have a project that was working fine, then one day we started getting numerous dropped frame warnings during playback on the timeline (specifically during sequences that have multiclips); then two days later, playback causes the entire project to freeze and FCP shuts down.
    We are on 17" MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 667
    Mac OS X 10.4.9
    External drive: Western Digital 1 TB, My Book Pro Edition, FW 800, 7200rmp, 650GB used
    FCP 5.1.4, DV-NTSC project, source media captured from DVCam
    I have tried all the normal adjustments for dropped frames issues including boosting the ram allocated to FCP, closing additional sequences and applications, hard drive is formatted OS X Extended, etc. Multiclip squences have only 2 video/audio streams at a time, so I can't imagine that its bottle necking here.
    One thing to note is that the second external drive, which has duplicates of all the same media and copy of the most recent project is working fine. The only difference is that the problem drive also has media that was ripped from DVDs using Mac The Ripper, and then compressed using MPeg Streamclip into .dv (then changed to .mov before importing into FCP). We are using the DVD material as scratch until we can obtain the original footage as we get closer to going online. We are in the process of obtaining permissions from directors/distributors/studios, but this obviously takes time.
    DVD material is totaling close to 55GB. Also, even though the clips are .mov, we are still getting a red bar and having to render the media. Audio is at 48hz so no problem there. Not sure why it still requires us to render.
    Is it possible that the project is somehow corrupt? Is all the rendered material too taxing for FCP? Am I handling this extra footage inefficiently?
    I have spent hours on this forum looking for the answer, but haven't come across a solution yet. Thank you for your help.

    I'm not sure I understand. You have duplicate media on another drive? You're having problems playing back the media from one drive but NOT the other? Sounds like your drive might be failing. Try running Diskwarrior (to repair any possible directory structure problems) and techtoolpro (to see if there's any physical problem).
    I have had problems with multiple firewire drives from different manufacturers connected at the same time. Try disconnecting everything BUT the problem drive.
    You shouldn't need to do any rendering if the clip settings exactly match the sequence settings. Try this: select one clip, control click and choose make multiclip sequence. Is there a red bar in the sequence? If not, your clip settings to not match your sequence settings in the problem sequence.
    Good luck

  • N97 Corrupt Face Book App - Will Not Delete

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with my facebook app from ovi store. It corrupted somehow, ie, it woudlnt load. So when I went into the apps manager and uninstalled it uninstalled fine, and so I went to ovi to download it again. Great, works fine.
    Now however I'm left with 2 facebook icons in my applications folder. Even when I try and uninstall the programme, only one icon is removed. The other remains. When I try and delete it via the organise option, it says file corrupt, and will not delete. Is there a way to delete this defunct icon by any chance? Please help me if you know.
    Regards

    @kavi - you actually NEED TO LEARN how to read user posts. that is not the case for this user. 
    there are things you can try to do but they are rather 'drastic' and make sure you have a back up. you can reinstall firmware or you can try these codes start with number one, tho it will not do much in your case i am afraid.
    i would go with reinstalling the firmware, something did get corrupted to the point of not responding to the commands.
     With all these operations I recommend you TAKE OUT MEMORY CARD and DO A BACK UP OF YOUR STUFF!!!
    1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

  • Corrupted Media Files?

    Whenever I try to watch a video that I downloaded, it either plays for about five seconds, then says that there was an error or that the format isn't supported or else it won't start  at all and it flickers between saying it's paused and saying it's playing.  It plays videos fine if they're the movies I'd already recorded, though.
     . . . so what's happening with all of that?  Is there a way to fix it?  I'd try and re-install it and hope for the best, but I dont think that I have the discs and cords and such to connect to a computer and reformat.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Yes, all media files are not created equal. I found that simply watching media files that I obtained and did not convert often resulted in bad things -- including rebooting my BB. I have shifted to DLing my media content to my PC and then using DTM/MM to move/convert the media files to my BB. The result has been perfect stability of playback.
    Good luck!

  • 10.0.1 update corrupted media

    After updating to 10.0.1 any footage has, what I can only explain as highlight or blacks warning flashes in green, white and red? Its affecting existing projects plus any new media imported into FCPX....
    I've updated to Lion just in case that was the problem but still the flashing effects!! I'm fast running out of ideas on how to solve the issue?
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Hello Adrian 
    You can send Apple a bug report here
    https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn . I
    sent them lovely screen shots and my System Profile report (just open up
    your System Profile App and do a save....it will crank out a fancy file
    giving the fullness of what  your Mac is....being, doing and not)
    Also there is a way to get back to v10. Obviously you need a copy of 10.0
    (which one would hope one has) and a little name renaming. So, when V10.0.1
    jumped into action it took the previous version of each project added a long
    stream of numbers on the end of the file name and plonked it into a folder
    named 'old version'. All that you need to do is remove the stream of numbers
    and replace the newly created file that v10.0.1 created with this re-renamed
    one.......you also have to revert to version 10.0. Worked for me. I seem to have the same machine, or at least the same video
    card......hmmmmm? Maybe a test video card is in order.

  • E63 Media Database corruption

    On opening Media->Gallery, I always get a annoying message that "Database corrupted: Some data might have been lost".
    I don't store any songs/video there. Only once used camera.
    Will camera corrupts media database while storing images ? 
    I use latest firmware 200.21.012. I have installed following applications Nokia maps, Google Search and Google maps. When those applications where installed in memory card, I used to get error like "Memory card corrupted". Now, I reinstalled them into phone memory.
    Anyone knows solution for this ? I am planning to try soft reset after backing data.

    Just don't install programs or applications on the memorycard. Insert the card IN the phone and NOT on a PC or Mac to format. Remove the card by pressing the red button and choose remove card from the dialog option. If you insert the card later you should hear a short bleep.
    ‡Thank you for hitting the Blue/Green Star button‡

  • Jet Engine 4 needed for Creative Media Source Corrupt Libr

    I have seen this asked before but not answered well.
    I just installed Creative Media source for Zen Touch. When I bring up Creative Media source it says that I have a corrupt media library and need to download current Jet Engine 4 from Microsoft. I do that but when I try to upgrade it get the message that I already have a newer version on my computer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with same result.
    Is this bad software (Creative Media Source) or screwed registry or whatever on my computer.
    Better yet can I remove Creative Media Source and just use Microsoft Media 0, i.e. will the necessary drivers be available?
    Creative Nomad Explorer seems to be working ok?

    Dusty,
    Have you also installed the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 available from Microsoft?
    You can find the MDAC here - MDAC_TYP.EXE
    If the difficulty persists, you can uninstall MediaSource via Add/Remove Programs Wizard in Control Panel, delete the MediaSource folder in n C:\Program Files\Creative and reinstall it.

  • Are there any recovery tools for optical media?

    I've had a couple of DVD's  turned in to coasters recently and I was hoping that Linux could come to my rescue with some awesome 'raw-read' / recovery tools for optical media?
    I burnt the discs in Windows 7 using InfraRecorder on a brand new Plextor drive (a 'PX-891SA') and these are my first attempts to burn discs with it so I'm a bit worried it could be a hardware fault!
    I started off trying to back up some files to clear some space on my hard-drive, burning them to a dual-layer dvd, but the software kept failing to even start the burn process -- that was until I realised that I needed to run the program "as Administrator" (in Windows). It did then manage to burn the disc (I was using "Session-at-Once" mode) however when it came to the end of the burn process / the start of the 'verify data' phase it threw an error saying the write process had failed! Windows couldn't access the disc / data and (I think) still thought the disk was empty. So I restarted the burning application and used a function to just 'close' the whole disc. This seemed to work because Windows was then able to recognise the disc and read the data, although accessing the disc was slow and sounded 'stutter' ish.
    I then tried to write a single layer dvd to finish off the last couple of gig I had to back up, but again the software completed the burn phase only to report a 'fail' error right at the end (I'm assuming) before finalising the disc. Although this time I'd tried to create a multi-session disc by using the '2XXA' (or something) 'Multi-Session' iso9660 format. The result was that Windows couldn't read the disc and still thought it was empty, even after trying a forced 'close disc' operation! -- Linux however could read the disc and see that the data had in fact been burnt to the disc (although I've not yet tried copying it in Linux!).
    Finally I needed to burn a load of archives to a couple of discs (totaling ~9GiB) -- starting with a dual-layer dvd first everything seemed to be working fine, the burn process started okay and the write buffer was full etc., until at what I assume was the layer change-over it all came to a grinding halt and threw another 'write operation failed' error, only this time I can't even mount the disk in Linux....see 'dmesg | tail' output below:
    [ 5758.353005] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
    [ 5758.353015] ISOFS: Interleaved files not (yet) supported.

    [ 5758.353037] isofs_fill_super: root inode is not a directory. Corrupted media?
    Does anyone have any thought or suggestions that might help?
    - Is it likely to be a hardware fault? (I bought a Plextor because I thought they were one of the best!)
    Maybe even if I could just close the session all would not be lost?

    @chris_l -- yeah I was worried that might be the case, still I'm not sure if that explains why it keeps failing the burn process part way through?
    I've tried this and that in Linux but without much luck. I'm still quite a noob with a lot of Linux things and this is the first time I'm trying anything to do with optical disks/drives etc. so I'm learning as I go...
    The disk that failed in Windows but was 'readable' in Linux did just pass a run through ddrescue -- i.e. it created an output file okay and did not report any errors in the process.
    However when I mounted the resulting image and tried to copy the files across the first folder reported an "input/ouput error" (just using gui copy+paste in Thunar file manager)
    ...the other folders did copy okay though!
    It seems as though it's the lead-in / lead-out and disc finalizing process that are the main fail points with the burn operation. I don't know if InfraRecorder is any good or likely to be the problem? Anyway the drive cam with Nero (inc. Linux version) so might give either or both of these a go too, if they don't work either then at least I wont be short of something to rest a mug o' tea on
    @ chris_l (again) -- the Plextor drives do have a "Vari-Rec" feature which allows a user to 'tweak' the laser power / output level so I might try this too.
    @alphaniner -- thanks I've not seen this package before, I'm guessing it's a bit like cdparanoia but for dvds?!
    Thanks for the help!
    (pre-post) UPDATE >>> I've just mounted my Windows partition  in Linux so I'll have a crack at burning the files using cdrtools before I resort to throwing the dvd drive out of the window and chasing it around the yard with a lump hammer
