Motorola Motocast :: Says Computer Is Offline When It Is Online
Nov 13, 2011
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.
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 MotoCast installed on my computer. I didn't have any problems with it after I upgraded. I even reinstalled the program. However, my phone can no longer see that my PC is online. Even the MotoCast website says my laptop is offline. The only change I made was installing Windows 8. Any ideas how to get my laptop to show online?
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
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.
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 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.
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 have iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.2. It worked fine but a few days ago it suddenly started work strange. Let me explain.Â
The first problem is video. I can't watch either online or offline videos. When I try to watch a video it looks like a slideshow. It just shows one frame per 2-3 seconds. The strange thing that audio in video keep works fine.Â
The second problem is applications. They suddenly became crashing in various places and times where they didn't crash before. Instgram, YouTube, some games are crashing.Â
I'm not able to search the places in the offline search; although in online search it finds the places around the city. I saw a thread in forum which says, the new search is dosent go outside the city, but with 3.01 search was able to find anything which is available in the offline download.If that is the case, if u have older version..
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.
Motocast app was preloaded on new razr. I manually loaded motocast software on desktop and laptop. Motocast working great for getting pictures to and from desktop & laptop. 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.
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."
I have just notice tonight that when I was talk to people through the text/messaging app and then suddenly everyone would be offline then after going offline then online it would fix it for a second then do the same thing.
After 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.
A family member has a new Motorola Droid Razr, and we are trying to get MotoCast USB to work. 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."
Is it possible to rent & download a movie from google movies on my wifi-only xoom and then watch it later when offline? I assumed this was how it worked but found out the hard way shortly into a 9 hour drive that you have to be online to watch movies you've rented.
If you can't do this with google movies is there another option for the occasional movie watcher? I don't want a monthly subscription since we don't watch enough movies to make that worthwhile.
Whether I'm on my mobile device or on another computer (web interface), I can't browse anything from my PC with Zumocast from the Internet. When I am in my house and on my home network I have no issues, the PC shows as online and I can use whatever device I want to browse music, videos, files, etc. I am using McAfee AV and tried disabling the firewall but this didn't make a difference. Zumocast is permissioned in the program anyway for Internet access. This is actually a recent phenomenon, I used to have no issues with accessing Zumocast from outside my home network and over the Internet before, but at some point (not sure why) it started giving my the "PC Offline" message.
There is a lot to like about the tablet, but some features I'm disappointed in. I was looking at the "supported devices" page for the Motocast USB software and it does not include this tablet. At the bottom of the page, it also says "MotoCast USB software works with most but not all of Motorola's Android devices." Is it possible to use it on the FE?
I 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. I'd like to update the MOTOACTV, Steps taken so far:Unistall MOTOCAST ( ver 2.0.23), shut down PC, re-installfactory reset on MOTOACTV Unistall MOTOCAST ( ver 2.0.23), shut down PC, re-install as administratorMOTOACTV is basically factory except for some golf course downloads.I dont show any MOTO devices under mt device manager network connecttions.Also, I have confirmed that the Motorola device manager service is running and evan restarted it.
I have connected my razr maxx and successfully transferred tunes. I am presented with options to sync music, photos, videos and podcasts. I am not presented with contacts.I wish to sync with Outlook. I have installed MotoCast USB and it states, when I click it that Contacts sync account for Windows is active.
