Zen micro - "unable to copy protected track" when i try to copy music back to

I've had a zen micro for a couple of years. love it, and have spent hours copying my cds across to it; making playlists etc?just recently the player has started going wrong; not working; freezing. Am getting scared and thinking about getting a newer model. problem is that I have got all my music on the player now and have got a new pc since I loaded most of the tracks. I have tried to copy the music back from the player to my pc but I always get the message "unable to copy protected track". Is there anyway round it's? what does this mean?I don't want to have to start again loading all the music up from cds - it's already taken bloody hours, esp putting the playlists together.

markpilks,
Those audio tracks are protected with DRM protection. The protection disallow them from syncing back to a computer. Did you rip those audio tracks from Windows Media Player? If you did, you probably didn't disable the Copy Protect Music option and thus all WMA audio tracks you ripped will have this DRM protection.

    Go to the songs view sorted as Album by Artist. Select, for example, the songs of artists whose names begin A-E. Right-click and click consolidate files. Assuming this group consolidate without error move on to another group, say F-J. If there is an error divide the original group into smaller chunks until you can isolate which tracks are causing a problem.

  • Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?

    Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?

    I've been struggling with a similar issue myself and just figured it out.  Some of my content had been purchased with an older Apple ID that I don't use any more.  When I authorized my second computer, I only authorized it for my new Apple ID, not my old one.  When I tried to copy my library to the new computer, many songs, apps, etc. reported the error "could not be copied because this computer is not authorized".  It drove me crazy because I knew the computer was authorized and much of my library came over just fine.
    Finally I selected some of the problem items, selected "Get Info" from the menus, and saw that they were all purchased by my old Apple ID.  I then authorized my old Apple ID on my new computer, and all of my files are copying correctly now.
    Would be great if the message said something like "...because this computer is not authorized for Apple ID [email protected]"

  • Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

    Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
    I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
    I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
    However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
    I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
    Who can help me??
    Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
    My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
    - make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
    - do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
    - perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
    - make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
    - after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
    So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
    Still, I will go through the other tips too.
    (will post progress)

  • Error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card

    I am recieving an error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card. The message is saying "operation cannot be completed because an item already exists with that name." They are brand new therefore not the same name? I cannot even put them in a brand new folder...  How can I fix this?
    Please help me!

    You don't need to recover the system.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
    dot_clean -m
    Switch to the Finder and drag the icon of the flash drive into the Terminal window. Some text will appear after what you entered. Press return.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. Then quit Terminal and try the copy again.

  • When I try to copy files from my computer (just pics) to my iPhone's media folder via Finder under 10.7, I get this error...

    I'm using MacFuse to connect via Finder. It worked before, even on 10.7. But since I cannected th eiPhone to my Windows 7 dual boot partition, now it won't work! Maybe it was just a coincidence, not sure. Just returns this error:
    "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)."
    I get this one when I try to copy files OFF of the iPhone:
    "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8072)."
    Sounds like a permissions error to me. So I fixed permissions on my Mac with disc utility, but same problem. Then chmod with terminal the media folder. Did nothing. So I can't change permissions, and they're not broken. What could've happened? I'm like, locked out of my device!

    Repair Apple Application Support.
    START/CONTROL PANEL/PROGRAMS N FEATURES/highlight APPLE APPLICATION SUPPORT, then click the REPAIR button

    I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
    Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
    You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
    A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
    If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

  • HP 5510,windows 7, new setup of printer, "unable to communicate with printer" when i try to print

    HP 5510, Windows 7, new printer, just picked it up!, "unable to communicate with printer" when I try to print a page, all network conections check out OK with Print Diagnostic Utility.

    Are you receiving any error messages when you print from the desktop? Its possible the print spooler is having issues which is not pushing the jobs to the printer. Lets restart the print spooler to get any old jobs that could be stuck in the queue removed.
    1. Press the start orb in the bottom left on the screen.
    2. Click on "Run"
    3. Type "services.msc" (without the quotes)
    4. Locate the Print Spooler service in the right column
    5. Click restart on the service link on the left
    After it restarts the spooler go ahead and retry printing. Let me know if this works.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    I had recently updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 and thus had to re download Adobe Digital Editions. I downloaded Version 4.0 but the problem seemed to be with the authorization between the e-reader and the computer. While in ADE click the help button and click erase authorization then re do your user id and password. It worked for me.

  • Am getting this message when i try to play music " unable to configure network stream"

    am getting this message when i try to play music " unable to configure network stream"

    Hold on... advice to someone downloading from 1337x !!!
    Until I saw your comment and googled the term, I had no idea that this was a "downloaded" file. I assumed the "1337x" reference was to dimensions/resolution and Noir referred to genre. (I.e., I use similar notations the differentiate files compressed for TV playback comparisons.) In any case, the advice is the same irrespective of the source.
    er, isn't it illegal to download movies ?
    Not necessarily. Thousands of movies are probably downloaded daily as legal purchases from such vendors as iTunes. Thousands more are available for free in the public domain, open source/community videos listings, and under Creative Commons Licensing. In short, there are many legal sources of downloadable content and you should not automatically jump to the conclusion that everyone is a crook.

  • I have a 50.00 itunes balance and I am unable to use it.  Why is it requesting credit card info when I try abd purchase music?

    I have a 50.00 itunes balance and I am unable to use it.  Why is it requesting credit card info when I try to purchase music?  I've already redeemed my gift card onto my itunes account, so I no longer have a code. 

    Because your credit card info is how itunes verifies your account.

  • InDesign CS6 crashes when I try to copy a graphic

    I am working in CS6 with a document that was converted from CS4. I want to move a graphic from one spot in the document to another, but when I try to copy it, InDesign immediately crashes. Has anyone else had this problem?
    I am working on a PC, and I believe the original file was created on a Mac.

    It turns out the culprit was a bad font in the image. I opened the image in Illustrator and converted the font to outlines. That solved the problem! Incidentally, this one image/font problem (this image is used in a couple different manuals) also was causing InDesign to crash when I exported to PDF.
    Adobe people, if you read this, it would be great if problematic fonts in images were detected by InDesign, like an error in the preflight panel similar to the linking and font errors currently there. I can't see a way to detect this easily now (how to narrow down which image is a problem when working with 50+ images in a document?) Is there a way that I don't know about?

    I keep getting this message the past week when I try to copy/paste text to Pages or upload a picture to a website chat forum. I don't know what it means, or how to correct it. I'm running a 2009 iMac desktop with OSX Lion 10.7.3  with 2 GB  Any help appreciated.
    Angie

    Running the Lion Os requires a MINIMUM of 2 GB of RAM, as you have.  However, with that little RAM the computer will have trouble with many memory based tasks, such as copying and pasting.  You really need to increase the amount of RAM your computer has in order to increase its speed and performance.  Now, when a task requires more RAM than your system has available then the OS will use some harddrive space temporarily instead.  This is called "Virtual Memory."  Is it possible that at this time that your harddrive is very full relative to its stated capacity, so that even "virtual memory" is not really available?  If that is the case, you really need to cleanup your harddrive by deleting a fair number of less used files.
    Hope this helps
