PRS-350 clearing memory?

I got the PRS-350 for Christmas and have been pretty happy with it except for one thing... it periodically clears the memory of all my notes/bookmarks, etc. The books I have downloaded onto it themselves stay there, but all the settings and notes are lost. I'm not doing anything silly with the reader (dropping it, keeping it in a place where it's knocked about) or anything like that... I'll just turn it on and everything is gone. This is really frustrating, as I have a couple texts that i was taking diligent notes on that are now lost. What's the deal? What ciould be causing this? And is there any way to get my notes back?

Hi,
Have you tried to store your books and associated notes on the SD card rather than using the Sony internal memory for storage ?
I did experienced some funny things using the internal memory, especially at the boot time.
So ...

    prs-350 reader, finally ready to download a book from kobo, but my reader keeps saying it is full, i had 182 books and deleted about 40, so I should have room.  can you please help me?

    Hi
    Control the amount of memory free on your PRS-350 info menu, I think on:
    [Home]-->[Settings]-->[About] (Total memory approx 1,4GB)
    (Perhaps you deleted ebooks only  from PRS-350’s database, but ebook’s file still exist on reader or file deleted were too small and new one is too big (containing images, for example))

  • Sony PRS-350, Reader, ADE, PDF, EPUB, HELP

    Don't want to say how many hours I've spent trying to download two books from my local digital library to my new Sony PRS-350 e-reader.
    My setup:
    Windows XP Svc Pk 3, IE 8
    Sony PRS-350 e-reader, listed as a compatible device with my area's digital library
    Authorized my computer and device on both Adobe Digital Editions and Sony Reader sites
    I bought the Sony for borrowing from the library, rather than having to buy.
    Downloaded a PDF book from the digital library to ADE but was unable to send it to the e-reader
    Downloaded an EPUB book that is nowhere to be found on my PC and also not on ADE [and obviously not on the e-reader]
    When downloading/attempting to download, the Sony Reader window opens up telling me "this computer is not authorized to preview this book".
    I am not trying to buy a book from the Sony Store, only trying to download what I have borrowed from my library.
    I've sent emails to the local library which supports the digital library, but it is too early to expect to hear back from anyone and I also hope that someone here will have some thoughts based on the information I have provided. I must be missing a step but after reading the instructions on the e-reader and online [and some posts here], I am no closer to figuring out what I am doing wrong.
    Thanks to all for any information. I am bleary-eyed and need to get away from the screen. Will definitely check back later.

    It may be useful to mention this (the need to install the Sony library software and the no-function on Mac)  in the help for moving books from ADE to supported e-readers (the PRS-350 is on the list of supported devices), since it clearly states that ADE will recognize e-readers when you connect them to an authorized PC and will prompt you to authorize the ereader. I have been trying for two days to get it to work and authorize my e-reader...
    Grateul for your post, though, so I can stop my attempts.

  • Trying to download book from kobo to library then to PRS-350 reader

    I am trying to download some books that I have purchased at the Kobo site into my Sony PRS-350 library so that I can drag them onto my Sony reader device. I have contacted Sony who couldn't help so they passed me along to Kobo, who also couldn't help, so they have sent me along to get help from Adobe.
    I am really hoping that you are able to help me so I can get reading on my Sony reader device.
    I keep getting a 'download failed' error message when I hit the download prompt on the Kobo site. I have installed all the new software with Sony and Adobe and still no luck.
    Please help me!! I look forward to hearing from you soon
    Thank you so much!!

  • IPAD 16 GB HOW TO CLEAR MEMORY

    IPAD 16 GB HOW TO CLEAR MEMORY ios7

    What do you mean by 'clear memory' ?
    You can close apps via the iPad's taskbar (a lot of the apps that show on the taskbar will just be 'recently used', they won't be using resources) : from the home screen (if you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't show on the taskbar for closing) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the iPad's screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If you want to delete content from your iPad to free up storage then you can see how much space each app is taking up via Settings > General > Usage. To delete an app (and therefore its content) press and hold any of the apps on your iPad’s homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
    To do a soft-reset (i.e. a reboot) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear.

  • Clearing memory in ActionScript 3.0

    Does anyone know how to clear memory in AS3.0. My app loads a lot of SWF and the memory usage keep accumulate and does not go down untill the app crash. I've tried flash.system.System.gc(); , set movie clip to null,and removeChild but seems no luck for me.
    This is how i trace the memory usage:
    var mem:String = Number( System.totalMemory / 1024 / 1024 ).toFixed( 2 );
    trace( "RAM Usage: "+mem+"MB" ); // eg traces “24.94Mb”
    Any help means a lot to me. Appreciate in advance.

    This article should give you more insight:

    It`s also memorable that manually calling the GarbageCollector only works in AIR and the Debug-Version of the Flash Player.

  • Type "purge" in Terminal and get:   -bash: purge: command not found   Is there another built-in command to clear memory leaks?   want to clear memory periodically

    I have 10.6.8.  When I type "purge" in Terminal I get:   -bash: purge: command not found   Is there another built-in command to clear memory leaks?   I have FreeMemory (works well) and considering FreeMemory Pro, to clear memory periodically, say every 20 minutes, or preferably when a threshold is reached, say when only 100MB is available.

    To get purge to work you need to install Xcode from Optional Installs on the 10.6 install DVD. Also be sure you install CHUD Tools with it.
    But running purge or anything like it is pointless if within a short period of time the VM just grows back again. Sounds like you need more RAM.
    Where are the memory leaks? Just because the VM reaches a certain size doesn't necessarily mean it's from a memory leak.

    If you deleted photos from the Camera Roll album they may still be on your iPad. Check the Photos app and look for the Recently Deleted album. Photos reside there for 30 days in case you want them back. If you are sure that you want to delete the photos deleted them from the Recently Deleted album.

  • Why does ADE 4.0 not recognize my Sony PRS-350?

    Why does ADE 4.0 not recognize my Sony PRS-350?

    Hi olvaso
    I have the exact same problem and needless to say, I am really pissed off!!!
    Such technology should not have compatibility problems, either your reader can download ebooks or else it should not be sold as an ebook reader.
    I've had to download a DRM removal tool in order to read ebooks that I PAID FOR on a regular e-reader that I REGULARLY BOUGHT!!!
    The problem is, not all e-books can get unlocked so I already have 4 books I can't read except on my PC.

  • Sony reader PRS-350 - Problems still unsolved?

    iMac does not recognize Sony PRS-350 Reader when USB connected. This problem was first described in 2009. In the Reader Library software, Error is displayed where it should be Reader. Moving downloaded books is impossible. Could it be true that Sony still has done nothing to repair this? Any advice is welcome, thanks!

    The way you describe your problem tells me that it may be because of the
    digital rights assigned to the ebook.  Publishers and resellers have the
    ability to restrict downloads to your PC.
    With ADE in Library mode, put your cursor on the title of the ebook.  A
    small arrow will appear.  Put your cursor on that arrow, and a drop-down
    menu will appear.  In the middle, you'll see the digital permissions
    embedded in the ebook, and I'd bet that the one about copying says
    'no'....  If this is the case, you can go back to the source and complain.
    They might - or might not - be able/willing to do anything about it.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to clear memory in java on the fly?

    i want to clear memory that use by Jpanel,how do i clear that memory? it's becouse i use that panel for add many images, and i want use the same panel to add others images.
    i has use panel.removeAll(), but it is not remove the memory that use by the panel.
    so how can i remove the memory that use by the panel?

    remove the references to the objects that you removed from the JPannel... when it needs it, then Garbage Collector will allow them to be disposed, but it will dispose of them when it needs to, so you may not see the memory ever returned to your system while your app is running.

  • Trouble with Sony PRS 350

    I have had a Sony PRS 350 ebook for a couple of months, and regularly plugged it into my ordinary MacBook to recharge it. It made no difference whether the lid on the MacBook was open or shut.
    A week ago, my MacBook Air arrived I now plug the ebook into one of the USB-ports on the MacBook Air to re-charge the ebook. All goes well, unless I shut the lid on the Air. When I re-open the lid, I am told -- wrongly -- that I have disconnected a device without first ejecting it. I then find that the ebook has frozen, and must use a straightened paper-clip to restore it to life.
    Any suggestions, other than to take the MacBook back under the guarantee ?

    What I assume is happening is that you MBA is going to sleep when you close the lid, terminating the charge. One the charge stops, the PRS-350 puts itself into standby after 10 minutes and is unavailable to reconnect when the MBA comes out of sleep.
    I recommend that you simply buy a cheap Blackberry charger with a micro USB connector and use that to charge you reader. The reader will charge more quickly and you will be able to use it while it is charging. For more info, go to http://www.mobileread.com.

  • PRS 350 Stylus

    I'm curious how many other owners of the Reader PRS 350 have had the stylus break apart. The top of mine simply fell off recently while it was properly stowed in the device. I had perhaps used it on one or two occasions since the device was purchased.
    I have contacted Sony support and have been told I can purchase a new one for US$ 62.91 plus tax and shipping; however, I think that is an exorbitant cost for such a tiny piece of plastic.
    Has anyone had luck in obtaining a free or reasonably priced replacement stylus from Sony, or from another source? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The part numbers for the stylus are:
    A1786740A Silver
    A1799066A Pink
    A1799099A Blue
    I would recommend that you call Sony customer relations team on the pricing:
