HTC One M7 :: Transferring Music (MP3 Files) To Win 7 Desktop
Jun 15, 2013
I am trying to transfer my .mp3 files to my computer running win7 just to have my music backed up. I do not want to use a cloud service or anything just my computer. they seem to transfer fine to my older laptop running windows vista, but using win7 only the first 127kb of the file transfer over. I even tried transferring my pics over to my win7 computer to back them up and they all appeared grayed out. but I transferred my pics to my windows vista computer and they were fine, so it seems to be a win7 issue. I do not understand what it could be. but I really want to transfer my stuff to my win7 desktop computer and not my old win vista laptop.
I am happy to report success in copying music files to my LG enV3 (VX9200)! I have now loaded 2000 music files onto a 16Gb Micro SD card and gotten the phone to properly read <title>, <artist>, <track>, <album>, and <genre> for all of these files. Unfortunately, this was only after much trial, error, pain, and suffering.Here's what I have deduced about how the enV 3 wants to see music files organized:
1. To avoid silly mistakes, do use the phone to format your Micro SD card.
2. But to save time and achieve reliable transfers, move your music onto the formatted card using a USB card reader, plugged directly into your computer. Putting the phone into USB Mass Transfer mode, or trying to use the 'Sync' routine, is slow at best and ends up in failure more times than not.
3. Music files go into the "my_music" folder on the card.
4. Within "my_music", what works well is the following directory structure: my_ music /<artist>/<album> /<track>_ <title>But you have to follow some special rules:
5. The enV 3 doesn't seem to like like spaces or special characters in directory or file names, and I think it wants only one period (the one before the .mp3 extension). Special characters include the 'usual suspects': . ^ $ | ? * + [ ] ( ) { } /
6. The enV 3 doesn't seem to like directories or file names to be longer than 32 characters
7. Finally, to have album art displayed, it wants to see the file "AlbumArt.jpg" in each <album> folder.
I may be wrong about some of the rules -- but I can report that when I followed the rules, things worked as they never had before.My guess is that other Verizon LG phones work the same way. (You'd think that Verizon or LG would document this somewhere, but NO!)
Now -- you'd better believe I wasn't going to manually edit the directories and filenames to meet the enV 3's picky requirements -- not for 2000 files!Instead, I worked with the freeware program Mp3tag (available here) and wrote an Mp3tag script (available here) to do the dirty work. Step 1 was to 'clone' my music files by copying my entire music library -- all of the mp3 files, which had been organized by iTunes -- into a new directory which I labeled 'Music_Backup'. Step 2 was to read this cloned library into Mp3tag. Step 3 was to run my Mp3tag script, which parsed/renamed/moved all the music files under a new directory on my computer (called 'Ready-For-LG-Phone') Step 4 was to copy this new directory structure onto the Micro SD card
From there I popped the card into the phone, and at long last it has become a usable music player.(The one thing I haven't figured out is how to get playlists into the phone.)To use this process, you're going to have to get familiar with Mp3tag, or come up with a way using the tagger of your choice to meet the requirements I've listed above.But I can tell you that there's light at the end of the tunnel. Best wishes and good luck!
Is this possible on the N900? I was trying to do it yesterday and couldn't see how to do it either from within the file manager or the media player, not a huge problem but if there's an easy work around/solution it would be good to know.
I will be setting up my new Icon this evening. I will need to transfer music and a few text files. Will I be able to plug the Icon into my computer and transfer the the directories that contain my music and text files.
I just got my Blackberry 9700 replacing my previous Palm 755. When I first used the Device Switch Wizard form the Blackberry Desktop Manager I was able to transfer all the data from my Palm Desktop to my Blackberry. I performed this for about four times as I modified my contact list. Now it aborts the transfer and receive a message saying:
"Desktop organizer data was not imported successfully. Errors occurred during the process"
I have since removed the Blackberry Desktop Manager software completely and reloaded - no result. I upgraded the Desktop Manager with automatic update - no result.
I've just purchased a BlackBerry Torch. How can I go about transfering contacts from my old BlackBerry Bold to my new one? I can't download desktop manager as I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11. Is there a way of doing it without the use of deskop manager?
While phone numbers, email addresses, and random notes seem to have made the crossing from my old Palm Centro to my new Atrix the address fields did not. I still have the data in a desktop application and it would be fantastic if I could copy and paste them on my desktop and then sync them to my phone? Can I connect with the USB cable that came with the phone? I spent way to long doing it on the phone and I am only up to the Gs.
I have a MacBook Air running Lion and an iPhone 4s with latest OS. I'm planning a trip to an area where I won't have access to the interenet but should have some cell coverage (my plan is with AT&T). I'd like to use my MacBook Air to create and edit documents, send them to my iPhone and then use the iPhone to email them over the cellular network.Is there any way to do this? I know I can create my own WiFi network using the MacBook but don't know of a way to use it to transfer files to the iPhone.
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1, MacBook Air running Lion
Error transferring files from pc to blackberry using my usb cable. Whilst copying it always stops and cancels, saying there's an error and files cannot be copied. and its as though it autorun's the phone again. The autorun menu pops back up. I am getting frustrated because everytime i'm backing up, it does this. It is often with the bigger files or copying many files at once?
Prelims:I am part of a Enterprise account (old phone and new phone)Old Phone = Tour 9630 with 2gb mSD card. New Phone = Torch 9850 with a 16gb mSD card. I have the 'raw' .jpg.rem files from my old phones mSD card on my computer I have access to the old 2gb mSD card but the images were deleted. I have access to the old phone but it isnt enabled on the enterprise account..I know the pwd used on the old phone and the one on the new phone I cannot connect the phones to my computer as a storage device.
How can i get these pictures from my desktop computer to the new phone?
My employer has just upgraded my phone from Blackberry Bold to an iPhone.Now, I want to transfer all my pictures and files from my old BB to the Iphone, however I am being thwarted because the BB has a security policy enforced which is encrypting all the files, so when I try to copy them over using a USB cable all I get is .REM files.
have an xperia x10 and there is an update ready. the problem is it says all info saved on phone would be removed. how do i get all my contacts and files safe before doing this and also how/were can i put all this info so i always have a back up. i tried folowing the backup bit on the sony ericson companian software bit but it wouldnt work etc.
i realy need to update my phone asap as it hasnt been working very well n only just realised it needed updating but im scared of losing all my stuff on it esp when it says on the update part that all data and files etc will be lost
I'm trying to pull photos from my phone to PC for editing, storage, etc. Z5 Compact running 5.1.1, and Windows 7 Pro.
Drag-and-drop or copy-paste actions from the DCIM folder to the PC will crash Explorer very reliably : I get a standard 'Windows Explorere has stopped working' message with a restart option. The error details are these :
Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BEX64 Application Name: explorer.exe Application Version: 6.1.7601.17567 Application Timestamp: 4d672ee4 Fault Module Name: wzshlx64.dll
Ok so everytime I move files over from my internal storage to my sd card on my galaxy s5 they become corruped. This is my 3rd memory card I have purchased so it's not that. I am even using an official samsung 64gb micro sd card uhs-1 class 10. When the video clips are saved on the device they play fine. So I copied them over to my sd card using the my files folder on the phone and "moved" them and "copied" them over. At first the files play fine but then when I go back later to play them some of them pop up as unable to play video and are corrupted. I googled the issue and I'm not the only one having this problem but I haven't found a resolution either.
I have a bunch of pictures and videos that I'm trying to transfer to this S5 and it's just giving me errors whatever way I try. I've tried moving all of them from my pc to the phone through usb and it will transfer some of them and then just stop partially through like it's frozen. I've tried sending them straight to the microsd card in the phone, and also tried transferring them to the internal storage and both methods had the same result. Then I tried instead to compress all the files into a .rar and then transfer but that method hasn't worked either.
The loading bar will appear as usual and when it gets almost completed it gives an error saying something along the lines of "cannot copy file because device has been disconnected or stopped responding". I used to be able to transfer files to this phone all the time until just yesterday so what can be causing this problem. This is the same phone, and pc that I've been using for a while now, the only thing different is now there's a different sims card and microsd card in the phone, but I don't figure that has anything to do with the connection problem it seems to be having?
Is there any way of transfering files to the phone thru bluetooth. What program do i need. I can connect to the phone with bluetooth but can't do anything else.
I am using Office Suite Pro, great program. I am having a problem transferring back onto my Mac the Word files. They transfer ok but they do not open and show as possible corrupt files.
Is motocast a option? I see it will allow access to your PC files from your phone....but i want a true transfer from phone to PC not access from PC to phone.

I recently bought an Xperia Mini Pro. I have one issue with this phone...The memory card that comes with the phone is almost three-quarter filled.....so I am not able to transfer most of my songs and pictures to it...I am thinking of buying a new micro sdhc card....But I have some confusion...Should I go for a class 6 or a class 10? And what about transferring the files from my old card to the new one?? I have enough internal memory left....so I can easily transfer the apps present in my memory card to the internal storage...
One of the first thing I did when I got my Atrix was enable phone and storage encryption from the settings menu. I recently downloaded and installed Motorola Media Link and got it to work with my phone. When content comes from the phone to the computer, the name and file type are correct, but it doesn't open or play (if a pic or video).
If I navigate to My Computer and open the SD card directly, I can see all the files and copy them over (like pics and vids) but I cannot see the pictures and the videos do not work.
Is encryption causing the problem? Is there any way to utilize motorola software (like Media Link) if encryption is enabled?
If I can't use conventional methods to transfer data from my phone to my computer, are there other options?

I have had the SGS S2 for almost two months now, whenever I transfer pictures and music between folders with my external SD Card or to my Phone Storage, they disappear.I can't remember how exactly I moved them, but I remember the last time I cut the files from one folder and pasted to another, and they all just disappeared.
#1-i have ringtones and test music files that appear in my music files and i dont know where they come from. #2-I also have voice files for maps in my music files. ironically though, the voice files are not working with maps....i want to remove them from my playlist but they are not showing up in the ovi suite?
