Droid Razr; using MotoCast Wireless. XP computer is on all the time, no trouble connecting. Music, photos and documents all present and available all the time.But my iTunes playlists are not. Major bummer. MotoCast playback quality is far superior to G-music, but I really need my playlists!Itunes data folders are all in the normal places. The MotoCast docs clearly say that iTunes playlists are usable and in one place says expressly, "Note: Currently MotoCast Wireless supports playlists from iTunes only."

Now I'm trying to re-install it on my computer and all it's doing is going through the motions of repairing the file file. But I can't launch it.
I was trying to download and install MotoCast to my computer, but the installer doesn't seem to be able to make it through the second step all the way. Very close but not quite
View 8 Replies View RelatedI really like the idea of Motocast. I've installed it on my computer and have been able to see my files and music on my phone and also the Motocast web access. But today even though the computer is up and running the phone shows it as offline. Here's where it gets weird, if I use web acess from my PC I can see my files. After signing out if I log in using web access from my laptop or phone, it shows the PC offline.
View 15 Replies View RelatedMy wife and I both recently purchased Droid RAZRs and work off of one family desktop with a shared media library under Windows 7. We want to be able to load two seperate instances of MotoCast under our own user logins so that we can access two different folder sets. I know that this is currenly not possible due to software limitations. I have noticed others with similar issues. Is this something that is being considered for a future update?
Also, I have noticed that since installing MotoCast on my desktop, iTunes will spontaniously open under my wife's login in Windows 7. I suspect that MotoCast is doing this in order to verify my media's DMR. Am I correct? If so, this is causeing issues because iTunes can only be used under one account at a time in Windows 7. If she locks her account and iTunes opens in her account, I cannot use iTunes while in my account. Is this being fixed? I don't understand why, while I am limited to one MotoCast login running on my machine, that MotoCast runs under both of our Windows 7 accounts?
Is there any way to have two different phones access the same computer using Motocast? Each phone has its own ID. I don't see anything that will allow more than one ID on the computer.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI know the Droid RAZR has not been released on the Verizon network, but I already know that the staff at the local store will not be able to help on this question, I am not going to buy the device unless it will work for me as advertised.My question is simple - is the Motocast software compatible with Windows Home Server, specifically the O/S based upon Server 2003. The ability to pull music, video, and other files off of a computer at home makes the most sense when used with an always-on computer that also happens to hold all of the desired files. Advertisements have stated 'Windows' compatibility, but Home Server is not a common platform and it is based upon the kernel from Server 2003 which has been made obsolete by a newer Microsoft server OS.In addition, if it does run, can Motocast be installed to run as a service? This would allow it to always be running (in case of resets / power failures) and would be most helpful since Windows Home Server is designed to run 'headless' and unattended.

my iPhone 5s will not connect to the internet via data or wifi.

I have it set up on my PC where I have 3 folders shared. I have a Movies folder, I have a TV Shows folder, and I have a Mixsets folder. I like to listen to DJ mixsets that can be rather large, anywhere from 50MB to 150MB in size. I can access my movies/tv shows off my PC at home just fine when I'm on a wireless network. I just go into Gallery>MotoCast and there i have my TV shows in one folder and Movies in another folder. The folder I named Dj Mixsets does not show up in either Gallery or Music app.That's fine cause when I go to the Files app, I can see all three folders on my PC. From there, I can still access my TV Shows and Movies just fine. But when I try to listen to any of the mixsets, it says Cannot connect to network, please try again. This is weird cause the Droid shows my home PC as "Online". Is it because the music files are really large that it won't play? MotoCast can play larger size video files no problem.

I called tech suppoirt for email problem and was told to update my device to the latest OS. I did this and after rebooting device, there was no motocast app/logo and no USB selection window. I now can not download pics and can only upload files from my desktop and laptop.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter updating to ics motocast wants to install on my pc and does not give me an option to say no and not have it show again, like the vista start screen. I decided to install motocast and just ignore it but when I rebooted it started my browser with a video for backup assistant after looking thru msconfig and regedit I believe this program to be malware like microsoft security 2012 or many other softwares that use extortion to sell their product. I am not questioning the validity of the backup software but rather the way it like motocast doesn't give me an option. When I called Verizon they said it was a Motorola problem so can someone please tell me how to get this MALWARE from loading! I did get the browser to stop loading after removing all of motocast via add/remove.

We have installed the software on the computer (a Macbook Pro) and skipped the wireless setup (because we are only interested in USB syncing at this time). But when we connect the phone, all we get is a message, "Please wait while MotoCast USB loads your content."

View 2 Replies View Relatedi am stuck in a tricky situation and would things first i know this is quite a frequently asked question as i have done a bit of searching on the net about it however could not not find anything that totaly matches myproblem, i have recently purchased a brand new laptop which runs windows 7 compared to my old desktop which ran XP, i have tried syncing all of my iphone 4s contents onto my new laptop's itunes library including everything not just music or videos and i got the infamous pop up "The iphone is synced with another Itunes library. Do you want to erase this iphone and sync with this Itunes library" the problem is that my original itunes library does not exist no more as my desktop was completly wiped and had XP redownloaded onto it again because it had a virus, which also wiped all of my hard drive so i cant even get everything i backed up off of my phone from it, i have managed to sign in to the itunes store and allowed my laptop to work with itunes,i have also transferred my purchases from my phone to my new itunes library but this only includes my apps and obviously not my contacts and photos and everything, i still get the pop up if i go to sync my apps from my library anyway, is there any way i can delete my original itunes library without it even existing anymore so that i can just start afresh and sync everything i have on my phone now directly to my new itunes library? or do i need to purchase this iphone rip/backup/store software that everyone goes on about or something? to be honest its really annoying my now as i just want to be able to sync everything like how i used to,

I have tried syncing my phone to my computer before but it deleted any song and playlist that wasn't in the iTunes on my computer. I sometimes will buy a song on my phone and I don't want to have to look up every song I have bought on my phone to go through and download it on my computer. Also I would like to not have to recreate playlist on my computer.

I was looking at the "supported devices" page for the Motocast USB software and it does not include this tablet.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got my Droid Razr yesterday. I was able to connect it to my PC (windows XP) via USB and transfer some songs. But I cannot set up Motocast wireless, however. Every time I try, it checks for a wireless connection, then goes to a set up Motocast wireless screen. It sits there for a couple of seconds, then the programs just exits.
I have read through the forum, and based on some other recommendations I saw there, I unistalled Java, and went to java.com and downloaded the latest version. I have disabled my Windows Firewall, and stopped Real Time Protection on my Microsoft Security Essentials. I also unistalled the Motocast program, which had first loaded from my phone, and downloaded Motocast from [URL]
Ok, I have scoured the forums and tried everything, but cannot get my MOTOACTV or my BIONIC to be detected by my PC.
