Rsync/unison to/with mp3-player, problem with permissions

Hi,
I'm trying to sync my music database with my mp3-player via rsync or unison, but both complain about the mp3 being a read-only device (It's detected as a FAT32 harddrive, btw.).
The interesting thing is: It is not mounted read-only. I can copy music onto it just fine via e.g. thunar, only the two sync programs complain.
What could be the problem?

The error messages are variations of:
rsync: chgrp "/media/path/to/file/on/mp3" failed: Read-only file system (30)
Seems like it's permissions-related, so maybe I should get rid of the "keep permissions" option implied in rsync -a. I'll try that and the udev rule, thanks.
Another thing: Unison takes AGES to check for changes (and I do mean ages, ~10s per file). Is that normal?
[edit:]
Another error:
rsync: mkstemp "/media/path/to/file/on/mp3/*.ogg.w7qqip" failed: Read-only file system (30)
I haven't played around with the rsync-options yet. I tried the udev rule though, didn't help. One thing is strange: the rule sets gid=100(=users), but all the dirs/files on the device are <mylogin>:root owned. Shouldn't that be <mylogin>:users?

Creative mp3 player compatibility with PFS car au

I was wondering if the "Plays For Sure" compatible Creative Players will work with the PFS compatible car audio receivers from Kenwood and Alpine. I'm mostly wondering about my Zen Xtra, but I'm sure others would like to know if their players would work also. Is Creative pursuing testing this, or should I just assume that all PFS works with all other PFS?

I purchased music from iTunes, but there is one
problem, I can't play it on my Creative Zen Vision
MP3 player.
Yes, you are right.
I even burned a CD with
the music, and it won't play on my car stereo??
You must burn a CD-Audio to play it in your home/car stereo.
If you also want to play those songs on your Creative player, once you've done the CD-Audio you can rip it again in MP3.

Video full screen Widget is uncompatible with MP3 player Widget

Hi
Has anyone come accross this problem?
As soon as you have the MP3 Player in place, the Full Screen video Widget goes mental.
Not a biggy but, still, anoying

Hi,
The site you have shared also has the bottom part of the background image/slideshow hidden behind the footer bar - and that is the behavior that Muse fullscreen slideshow exhibits.
You can use a standard slideshow at 100% flexible width with a fixed height but then it won't stretch or contract vertically in response to browser.
Thanks,

My Sony mp3 player synced with my iphoto. How do I unsync it? It no longer shows up as a device in my Finder window.

I plugged my Sony mp3 player into my mac mini, Snow Leopard, and it synced with my iphoto. Now it does not show up as a device anywhere, not even iphoto. When I plug in the mp3 via its usb, it opens iphoto. How do I stop this and get it back as a device in my Finder window so I can load songs on it again.

Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

Need help embedding a mp3 player swf with xml playlist

Im a noob to Flash (started tuesday, haha) and so far everything is coming along just fine, but i need to put music in the swf. I have a button set up that slides a swf mp3 player in from the side but i dont know how to make the playlist work with it.
The player is from this site:
http://www.bezzmedia.com/swfspot/samples/flash8/Mp3_Player_with_XML_Playlist
Using the xml playlist with html is simple enough, but im not sure how to use it with Flash Catalyst. Is there an easy way to do this?
My original plan was to have a text list of the songs with a play button next to each one, then when you click on the play button it would set the state of any other songs to Stopped so you can just pick what song to play and if another song was playing it would stop. Im not sure how to do this either (like i said, i started learning this week), so i just tried embedding someone else's (ugly) mp3 player.
Anyway, if anyone knows a relatively easy way to have a playlist in my swf please let me know. Thanks!

If I understand you correctly, you've imported a SWF into Catalyst using Import Artwork on the File menu. When your app runs, you want to pass that swf a parameter that tells it what URL to read a data file from. The SWF is not one that you've created, rather, you got it from some web site.
This is not something that you can do in Catalyst. However it should be possible to do in Flash Builder. I found an article discussing several ways to do it, at http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=175951. One idea is the following code snippet
<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    import flash.events.*;
    private function setVars(event):void
        event.target.content.yyyyyy = "zzzzzz";
    ]]>
</fx:Script>
<mx:Image source="xxxxx" complete="setVars(event)" />
where "xxxxx" is the path of the SWF (you can put it somewhere in your Flash Builder project, or reference it via an URL), and yyyyy is the name of the parameter that the SWF expects, and zzzzzz is the path to the data file. The <Image> tag is what Catalyst created when you imported the SWF. (btw.the Image and SWFLoader tags are almost identical).
I hope this gives you enough info to make progress.

Adobe Flash Player Problem with Safari

Hello,
I've just installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on Safari. I can watch videos on all websites except for one, namely NovaTv Play. Whatever I do, I cannot open any of the videos. Therefore, I have to use a different browser like Google Chrome. I'd like to continue using one web browser but cannot resolve this problem myself. I've checked the FAQ of the aforementioned website and it is stated that if the videos cannot be loaded, the proper installation of Adobe Flash Player should be checked. This is something I did, and as stated, there are no problems with other websites. Can somebody help me with this issue?
I am using OS X 10.9.5 (13F34) and the latest version of Safari.
Thank you for your attention to the problem!
Best wishes,
Mariyan

so, if anyone else is having the same problem....My flash is working properly now. You have to delete every trace of the old adobe flash player and then reinstall the latest version!

Mp3 player compatible with mac

I was looking for a non ipod that is compatible with the
mac 10.4 os.
i want the fm radio option and disposible battery option .
i want to be able to use itunes to transfer songs.
any recommended models
thanks

As iTunes is basically an iPod only affair here are some thoughts.
FM Radio is an option on the iPod by using the Apple Radio Remote.
Replacement iPod batteries are widely available (I just Googled for 'iPod Batteries').
But if you're sure...
This application allows you to sync iTunes playlists with an mp3 player that mounts as a volume on the desktop (I'm using it with my PDA Phone (with a 512Mb MMC card) - but it's a poor, poor relation to my wife's Nano with proper iTunes integration). So this application will work with any mobile Phone/PDA or mp3 player with removable media and a card reader.

Mp3 player works with snow leopard but not with lion

hallo i have a mp3 player trekstor i.beat move s 2.0 lion dose not recognise it . but sl dose. is there any thing that i can do to change this? pat10

And update alone is not recommended or enough, which - sorry for short answers - is why PC users uninstall and do all the rest, EVEN if they are just updating or testing new drivers.
Ideal is to uninstall the device for vendor A before switching and installing device vendor B, with uninstall and delete old drivers in Safe Mode. Less trouble, games etc run better, and your fps etc will reflect such.
Using 3DMark06 and Vantage are two good tests to insure all is working.

IPod compatibility- VW Jetta equipped with MP3 player

I recently bought a new (2007) VW Jetta with an MP3 player factory installed. Does anyone know what I need to do or what accessories I need to buy to get my iPod to work with the MP3 player?

You need to read the manual and see if the stereo plays MP3 CDs or if you can connect an MP3 player up to it (or both).
There is a spot in the glove compartment for what I thought was the MP3 player and I just assumed I'd plug something into that?
Possibly. What kind of a connection is it?
If it's for the stereo, it should have a USB jack to plug into.

MP3 player just with Spotify for running / gym

Bring spotify to the gym or running!!!!
It would be great if there was a mp3 player like the Ipod shuffle but just for spotify. You connect the mp3 player with the computer or via Wi-fi and get your favorite playlist on the device.
All mp3 players on the market that can do that and have those features are too expensive or too big .
We NEED a spotify mp3 player ASAP. I need to work out with my spotify playlist!! :)

I've just thought of the same thing (thought I was being original! :P)! Having to carry a heavy and expensive phone around on a run made me think of a longing for a smaller and simpler device which just did music. I don't want to call or play angry birds on the go!
Would be good if there was an option for mobile connectivity (3G/4G), that way it wouldn't have to be linked to a computer to have access to playlist - and would be open to spotify free customers too. The way of this working would be to have it included on existing phone tariffs. You just pay for the device and it can be included on your plan. Would obviously need cooperation of mobile service providers.
Maybe there could be variants also, some that stream music and some which store music in the device- in keeping with the philosophy of spotify.
it would be cool to have a device that is spotify only (with branding on it etc). ..
i envisaged a circular device which had the play/pause button on the main face of the device (indented slightly so it's easy to distinguish and use) and the volume adjuster working as the bezel (like a watch chronograph adjuster) - you could be very precise with adjustment and would fit seamlessly in with the design.
I would have it in matte black so it's discreet with the spotify logo on the front main face (acting like the play/pause button).
It would be important to make sure it's simple and intuitive to use so you don't have to look at it to use it. It would also be able to be priced competitively.
BUT, the fact that an iPod shuffle can be used to sync with spotify sorta covers this issue.... Just... However, My issue with the shuffle is the fact that you have to use controls on earphones to use it that is frustrating at times (if you don't have earphones which have that capability!). Having the button on the device opens up the options to everyone.
ive even thought of a name for the thing: Spotifygo (or SpotifyGo)
:)

Mp3 player connectivity with Gigaworks G500

Hello which cable do I need to connect my mp3 player to all the speakers. Thanks

Sounds like you have a bad or weak battery in your player. How are you playing your music? Are you using wins Media player or another player to play your music? Do you have the orginal Creative Zen V Plus CD Installation Driver? You might try and uninstall the drivers and reinstall them again. Just some things to think about. I am having a problem w/ my Zen V plus. Read my Post about my problems. (Help w/ Zen V +) Keep posting here for help. ODIE

How should I fix this one Flash mp3 player problem?

First of all, I'm just learning Flash, so bear with me. To deliver music content on a little website, I'm using the original Fabricio Zuard XSPF_player from Sourceforge.net. The version of the player that plays more than one song is supposed to also display the relevant album cover on the left. This works fine with FireFox 3.6, IE 8, and Opera 11 (all on Windows XP Pro sp3).
But on Google Chrome, the song links go all the way to the left including the space where the cover image should be. Can someone more experienced help me diagnose this? One person has suggested a Javascript problem, but the only Javascript I'm using is SWFObject, which appears to have a good reputation, and doesn't have anything to do with the player's internal appearance.
http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/bruce.htm

As you suggested, I used Flash (CS5) to publish an html. Tested in Firefox the cover is shown, but tested in Google I still get only the links to the songs. Can you suggest my next step?

Ipad 2 with IOS 6 problems with apps and battery

Ok, I had updated my iPad the day of or day after the IOS 6 came out and at first I had no problems with it. Except now, for some reason I am starting to have problems with different apps and with the battery life. First off within 15 minutes, it went down to almost 90% charge with it being a full charge and me hardly using any apps and closing the ones I wasn't using (which was just safari and Facebook open). But the problem I have been having is that I cannot chat with my friends on the Facebook app now because it will show its loading the chat box and then freeze up. With pages and numbers, they seem to take longer than usual to load up which is around 10 seconds or so before I can do anything. I had uninstalled and reinstalled the apps with no effect and tried restarting my iPad. It also seems like my iPad is taking longer to shut down and turn on than usual even though i make sure all the apps are closed before turning it off. (the location services, bluetooth, notifications, FaceTime, messages, and limit ad tracking is all turned off to help with battery life and i don't use them.)Is there any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Windows 7 Home Premium with 802.1x problems with the Authentication

We have problems with OS Windows 7 Home Premium 802.1x, the message in ACS:
EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed during SSL handshake
ACS v4.1
We have OS Windows 7 Professional and doesn´t have problems with the authentication.
I hope that you can help me
Regards

We were investigated with specialist people of OS Windows and the conclusion was that the Home Premium Version has restrictions about authentication and domain (Active Directory). So we need change the version of OS (Proffessional for example).
If you had another tip, please tell me and I try it for resolve this issue, if not we have to change the OS.
