Sony Walkman vs iPhoto

I have an old Sony Walkman NWZ-E series. Although not supported on the Mac, it works basically like any other MSC player. But, when I connect it, iPhoto automatically launches. Now, this is not a phone and it has no camera, it's just a dumb MP3 player, yet something in the system thinks it's a camera. This could be connected to another peculiarity, ie, that as soon as I eject it in Finder, it is immediately re-mounted, so I have to unmount it in Terminal.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to persuade Mac OS X that this device is not a camera? (I know I can stop iPhoto from launching automatically when a camera is attached, but that's not what I want.)
TIA

Walkman is my favorite music player app. I never install any other app to play music. Unfortunatly, this app isn't working properly after Lollipop update. I'm experiencing the following issues:
1. Sometimes volume up/ down doesn't work
2. Equalizer and other sound effect don't work
3. Sometimes, it play music without any bass
4. For 1/ 2 mp3 file the above mentioned issues are permanent.
When I face any of these issues, I restart the app/ reinsert my headphone. Sometimes, the problem is solved and sometimes not. Do you have any explanation sbout the issues? Please don't ask me to repair Lollipop. I have already done it. Should I try kitkat again?

  • How do i import movies from my sony camera into iphoto?

    When I imported my photos from my sony cybershot into iphoto my videos did not come along with them. I've been using a canon with canon image browser until now and never had this problem. HELP!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Launch Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, connect the camera and manually upload the movie files to a folder on the desktop. Then import into iPhoto.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    All music downloads from the iTunes Store come in AAC format.  There is no choice.
    You can do either of the following:
    Buy the AAC and convert it per these instructions: 
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
    OR
    Purchase your songs from a retailer who sells MP3s, such as Amazon MP3.

  • Transfer from a Sony Walkman

    Hi everybody.
    I would like to tranfer the files I loaded on a Sony Walkman (Atrac AD format or OMA) that I was using on a PC to my MAC and/or my iPod. Does anyone know how to do?
    Thanks.

    You'll have to convert them to a real format, not the
    unusable sony proprietary formats nothing else
    reads.
    You could always convert them to an unusable Apple proprietary format nothing else can read.
    If you use the unbelievably awful soul-destroying Sonic Stage program, it should let you convert your OMA files to WAV files. You can then import them to iTunes and convert them to whatever format you like (well, from the few that iTunes plays).

  • How do I transfer an audiobook from iTunes (purchased from the iTunes Store) to a Sony Walkman MP3 player so I can listen to it?

    I purchased two audiobooks form the iTunes store. They both have DRM.
    I have used 2 out of 5 of my downloads on a personal computer and an iPod. I tried to use 2 more of my downloads on a second computer to transfer the books to a Sony Walkman, but was unable. How can I do this?

    rip to itunes, put it in a playlist that you usually sync to your phone and then sync.

  • Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto

    Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto.  with rx1002 no problem! any suggestions?

    Every model of a manufacture's camera have a different  RAW format and, therefore, you'll have to wait until Apple receives the necessary information from Sony so they can create a RAW Compatibility Updater that includes that model.
    In the meantime you can try the Adobe RAW converter with might support that camera model to create a dmg file that iPhoto will recognize and begging shooting the highest resolution jpegs until the updater is released.

  • Moving sony walkman content onto my ipod

    Hi
    I have a Sony ATRACs walkman and now bought the new 30gb ipod - for films and music on the plane - my question is....is it possible to move the music from my sony to the apple? I've tried treating the sony as a hard drive and dragging it across but that doesnt work...any ideas??
    thanks in advance

    Are the songs on the Sony walkman on your computer?
    Can you drag the songs from the sony to the computer and then import those songs into iTunes?? (Drag them on to your harddrive, and then go to file-->add file to library in iTunes and add those tracks)

  • Error in Songs grouping in Sony Walkman software in Xperia Z

    In Sony Walkman ssoftware, there is differnt option available like "Artists", "Albums", "Songs" etc...
    Problem is that If you select the "Albums" option, it shows the diffrent Albums, but if any album is containing songs by diffrent "Album Artist", then there shows multiple album for the same Album name...
    Although there is Artists group for grouping the songs by their "Artist", but Album should consider the distinct Album names, not the Album and Album Artist combination as unique... which creates the same album coming multiple times...
    It should be rectified asap...

    It'll be wise to contact Sony directly

  • Vintage (1985 / 1986) James Bond Sony Walkman

    Vintage (1985 / 1986) James Bond Sony Walkman
    Hi. I am researching for the Sony walkman that the Necros the henchman in the Bond movie “the living daylight” uses to kill (garrotte) people.
    Anybody who can identify the walkman (look at screen shot) – it is on Necros (man with hat)
    http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab32 ... alkman.jpg

    It's difficult to to see what model it could be as the still is rather indistinct. Is the item in question in the hand of the man with the hat or is it connected to the front of the other man's shirt? The device on the shirt looks too small to be a cassette Walkman - perhaps it's a radio Walkman?

  • Sony walkman not detecting

  • Are Sony Walkmans compatible with itunes?

    I have recently turned to itunes, but I have a sony walkman player, are they compatible with itunes?

    You can, however, use tracks you import into iTunes or purchase from the iTunes Store on your Walkman. You will have to use whatever method Sony provides for loading tracks onto the Walkman, and may have to convert the tracks to a format the Walkman can accept (tracks from the iTunes Store are 256 kbps AAC, which is the default setting for importing from CDs as well).
    Regards.

  • Sony Walkman and Android Wear

    Hello,
    I am using a Xperia Z3 with the latest firmware together with a LG G Watch. There is a bug with the Sony Walkman app on the watch when the phone is connected via bluetooth to the watch. If I turn off the bluetooth connection (when I turn off the phone for example) the watch will pop up a Sony Walkman message saying that it can not find any music to play. If I sync a play list to the watch, when I turn off the bluetooth connection the watch launches the Sony Walkman app. 
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    There are two options, one lets you choose which music player to launch on the phone and this works fine when you set it to Walkman. The other is an app that is listed in the watches app collection and lets you play music straight from the watch over bluetooth headsets. Its this app that trys to launch every time I disconnect the watch from the phone.
    In any case I just blocked the Walkman notifications on the watch as I don't use it to play music directly from the watch and that basically solves the problem. But if I did want to play music from the watch and not just control the phone's Walkman app it would be annoying to have this notification pop up all the time.  

  • SONY WALKMAN - NWA608

    Any idea how to use a sony walkman nwa 608 with a Macbook?
    Thanks

    Since it has a USB interface, I would check with Sony for Mac drivers if it does not work out of the box. Since it's primarily a PC device, be sure to backup the memory before experimenting with it on a Mac, since it's no doubt a FAT32 file system.

    Not really. Last I checked, all Sonly players required musicmatch. Its proprietary and windows only.
