Motorola Motocast :: Move One Picture From Computer To Razr
Nov 12, 2011
I have been trying to move one picture from my computer to my Razr. I have had only one little bit of luck with a data file to the Internal Storage. I have been trying to get the pic to the SD card.
I recently got a new computer and trashed the old one. My phone says the old computer is offline...true. But the new computer name doesn't show up on my phone. Motocast web access says the new computer is working fine. How do I add the new computer to my phone ?
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
I 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.
My 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.
And my only problem so far, is my motocast says that the computer is offline. It is not, motocast is running on the computer, accounts are all synced, but i can not upload, or access the files on my computer.
I have a couple of problems with My Music. When connecting to my computer (iMac) over wi-fi or 3g I can access the files and stream without a problem but recently I decided to download an album to my phone and although it showed all 10 songs downloaded in the notifications bar, only 2 songs appeared in the app. I tried repeating the process, again it was downloading for a while and showed all as done, but nothing new appeared in the album. I checked the location of the files and they're there - really no idea what the problem could be. I rebooted the phone - nothing.
I noticed that some of the files are mp3 and some m4a but in both types there's more than 2 files so compatibility rather unlikely. The music app is incredibly slow, even when playing files from the phone, not over the internet. I posted a separate discussion on the phone being really slow in comparison with iOS5, but I notice it especially with My Music. Does anyone else have the same problem and is there a solution? Something in settings maybe? I'm new to Android so it's likely no answer will be to basic.
Every time I connect my phone to the original USB cable the Motocast USB program starts running and then it says please wait while Motocast USB loads your content, and finally the MML has stopped working window pops up with the only option to close the program. I have uninstalled the program and re-installed a new version of it, but that doesn't seem to work. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have downloaded a patch that I replaced, even though when I tried to replace it the computer told me I required administrator authorization. However when I proceeded with this action it seems to have replaced the old one with the new one.I have no idea what to do, nor know where to find the problem in writing to post somewhere. My computer knowledge is very limited.
I would like to expand the storage in my Razr HD (Australia - using Telstra 4G Network).I am looking to buy a Sandisk 32Gb class 10 microSD card - just wondering if this is known to work with these phones? If not, which make/models do work? Does the speed of the microSD card make much difference when used with the Razr HD's? I see Sandisk also have a 16Gb 95Mbps microSD card which is quite a bit more expensive, but is it worth it?
I am using a Razr Maxx (VZW) and am having the following issue with Motocast:When I attempt to download (or "download and open") certain pdf files from my remote computer, although it says "Starting to download (file name)" on my status bar at top of screen, then says "Motocast :: Download completed" on my notification screen, the files dont appear to be anywhere on my device. They should be going to My Files> Internal Phone Storage> download> Motocast> "Computer name"> "Documents" (which is name of folder synced with motocast). The files are all on my MacBook Pro's Documents folderEverything including music, pictures and all other file types seem download to the phone perfectly. There is one folder where several pdf's in that folder, and certain subfolders only (not all subfolders) just dont download. The download status seems to appear and disappear very quickly on these files that dont work, compared with the files that do work where the download status appears quickly (not as quick) and shows the download status bar reach completion.The files download to: /mnt /sdcard /Download /motocast /computer name / folder name / file nameI have tried to remove the folder in question from motocast then re add it with no luck. There are just some pdf files (and of course the most important files to me) from one folder that wont download to the phone
I just purchased a DROID RAZR. I have installed the desktop client on two different machines. I can view pictures and listen to music but when I try to play any video format I receive the following error:
Error during video playback
MotoCast was not able to playback this file; it might not be in a supported format.
I tried to download several files to test them on the phone's storage, but I am also unable to download any video using MotoCast. I can download pictures and documents. I have tried doing these operations through the Gallery app, as well as just browsing using the directory structure.
Can this app sync between the computer folder and the phone and vice versa? When using the phone, is there a way to seee thumbnails of the images? I just see a generic icons with names like DSC123.JPG
I had to get a new DSL router with security and motocast stopped working on my desktop. It still works on my wireless laptop. I uninstalled the motocast application on the desktop and re-installed it and it fried my internet connection settings on the desktop. I can get them back using a windows restore point but each time I try to reinstall Motocast it kills my internet connection settings again. It was working great before the new modem was setup. I don't understand why installing Motocast would alter my computers internet connection?
Using win7. Downloaded Motocast from website. When it is opened the motocast icon appears in taskbar but no program. When I open my music and try to configure set up motocast on phone it does not recognize my computer. It keeps saying that I must download motocast to computer.
I was looking through the Play Store and noticed something odd - it's showing me that MotoCast is "unsupported" for my Droid Razr Maxx running ICS 4.0.4 even though I have the app on my phone already and it is CLEARLY working fine.
Is there a way to reorganize photos in albums after downloading to my Razr Maxx with MotoCast? For some reason, some albums get all out of order, although they are in order by name, on my computer.
It looks like when I logged on using my motocast id, I lost all of my old settings and statistics. I had to resign up for everything including giving my meid number again. I lost my 5 posts, 69 comments and 2way pager stats. Did I do something wrong when I logged on using the motocast id and password or did everyone lose their old stats after the new logon id?
How to move pictures from the 'my library' section to the camera roll part of the gallery app that comes with the d3? The pictures I am taking with hdr+ app default to the library, but when I try to download onto my pc it only sees what is in the camera roll and not the library.
Wasnt just a mere week ago, I had un installed and re installed the Motocast Software; all was fine til about a day or two ago when I noticed that my Shortcut icon of Motocast is no more; want a pic? I'll upload it in a min.
Well once again this is my weekend and again I usually use Motocast on my days off and lol once again I'm having issues. Tried playing back a video file but alas stops within 30seconds. I play again and it stops within 30seconds. Or Ill start to play a file and it takes seconds upon seconds upon seconds just to play the video file.
I do enable Wifi prior to using Motocast so I wouldnt think it has to do with that; but I am pretty sure that when my graphic shortcut icon goes corrupt so does my actual application for it to work properly.
Question is, why does it keep happening? Is it because my Windows Operating System performs some sort of update and causes it go haywire?
Starting yesterday I have seen the above message 3 times. The only thing I have changed on the phone was to enable Motocast yesterday. Also, I replaced the 16GB SD card with a 32GB SD card, early last week. I've only had the phone for about a month. I have been able to power the phone off and reboot and get the phone functioning again. Last night it took 2 reboots before the phone became functional again. What can I look for to determine whats causing the error?
Some of my apps have the ability to be moved to the SD card and when I do, they function fine.But if they are on my home (or secondary) screen the icons show up as generic when the phone is started.Sometimes the clear but most of the time they don't.
