  • Cannot sync to the device via the serial port

    I have to read the data with a DSP associated with an EKG. For this I need 5 bytes (0x00 0x80 0x00 0x80 0x00) in a specific order that are sent through the port every second. I followed the data sent via the port and these 5 bytes are actually get received, however I havnt managed to find with my VI. I tried many different ideas without success and maybe Im doing something wrong. My latest attempt uses a waiting on event so I won't miss all the data. Ideas? See what I'm missing?
    I'd appreciate any help!

    I think you are using the wrong function.  You use Match true/false String.  Said context-sensitive help "examine beginning of string to see if it matches the true or false string. This function returns a Boolean TRUE or FALSE value in the selection, depending on whether the string is true or false string. "Well, suppose that the string isn't everything at the beginning, but as another byte in front of her?  It will not find the search for string.  And the wiring of the same search in True and False are strange because if it is found, then it is both true and false at the same time.

    You should use search and replace or search/Split string to determine if and where the search string is inside the largest chain.  (I would take research/Split).  If the string is not found it returns-1, otherwise it returns the location of the string.  And it has the advantage of any return after the game you could feed in the shift register for a search on the next iteration.

  • WMP does not recognize the 3 different portable devices

    I have a new PC Win 7 with WMP. My PC DID recognize 3 different portable devices, when I connect (an iphone a plane mp3 iriver and Sandisk fuze mp3 player.) But WMP does not recognize everything, even if the PC is. I've tried different USB ports on the PC, makes no difference, other than that, all works fine USB ports. And I didn't look at using WMP, which does not seem to realize that this problem can exist, no info at all.

    How to make WMP to recognize so I can sync? And BTW, I'd like to go back to WMP in Vista, I'm bored of advanced tag editor.

    Thank you.

    When you write that the PC recognizes your devices, you got the popup that says that each device has its driver installed and it was ready for use or that you just want to say that you get another indication that the device is connected?

    What WMP version you have (click Help > about Windows Media Player; if you do not see the menu file/View/Play/tools/help, right-click at the top of WMP)?

  • iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone, which has the latest operating system running

    iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone running. I downloaded the latest OS for the phone and the latest version of iTunes on my PC and have tried all USB ports several times. I also reinstalled drivers USB to the PC.  The phone is recognized on the computer of a friend under Win 7. All shows when I plug it on mine is a page showing the 'Apple iPhone' folder display of storage internal (2.18 GB free of 14.7 GB). Troubleshooting in devices and printers, where the phone displays as "Not specified Apple iPhone" generates a message saying that "Apple iPhone is an older USB device and may not work with USB 3.0 and plug it into a USB 2.0 port." But when I use USB 2.0 (I tried several times using each of the three USB ports on my PC), troubleshooting the error message says "Apple iPhone won't work correctly with USB 3.0." This seems to be a recent problem, since in March 2016, I could spend a few songs from my PC to my phone using iTunes.

    I wish I had some ideas of people who have experienced this problem, I find to be a more frustrating one.

    Well, you aren't the only one. This just freakin happened to me. I spent the last three hours with apple and Windows supports. Now I'm reinstalling Windows 10 by last resort of Windows support councils. I got the same message USB. In iTunes, under devices something removed my 5s and the iPad. But it remains 6 s wife. I tried my computers 2-(SS) 3.0 ports and 1 port 2.0 ordinary. I tried all four thinners cables I have. I will let you know the result of the Windows reinstall.

    We bought 2 of these porteges. Previously, we used older models.

    With the Z30 - A L19 we can't sync via iTunes iPhone6 more, message "can not correct' identify the iPhone.
    With the two different iPhone and Z30 6!

    Same problem both of the porteges. With the help of these iPhones on our former Z930 works without any problem.
    Also as a test on another PC game.

    So it seems that the poblem is jst with iTunes (12.2.1), iPhone 6 and this special seres portege Z30 - has L19.

    Can someone help or if you have an idea?

    • go to your control panel
    • then Device Manager
    • Expand "portable devices".
    • You should see the generic 'apple iPhone '.
    • Right-click on this device
    • Click on update driver software
    • Select search automatically
    • It should take a few minutes, it you disconnect/reconnect etc.
  • Cannot sync my movie rented to my Ipod Nano

    I rented a movie on my Mac today, but it cannot sync with my Ipod Nano. It says I have to connect to the internet, but I know I can't do it on an Ipod Nano. Someone please help!

    Here is the info on iTunes Store movie rentals

    About rent movies on the iTunes Store - Apple Support

    If a movie is in HD (high definition), you can play it on an iPod nano, because the resolution is too high for the screen of the nano.  For a movie purchase, if you pay for the HD version, you can also download the SD (standard definition) version free of charge.  But for a rental, I don't think you can do this...  Rent you as HD or SD, because download you only once.

    Also, the linked document says this... "Watching movies on the following devices...".  An iPod classic or iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation). "6th generation iPod nano can not play videos, but can't 7th gen.  However, it is not mentioned in that sentence, then you if your iPod nano is the 7th generation, you may not be able to watch rented movies about it, even if you have hired the SD version.

  • Synchronize music on a portable device.

    When I sync my music library with a mobile device, it keeps the album order of the music, even when I mix the playlist.

    Is it possible to do so that I can have a mix of music, instead of a series of albums?

    Hello

    The storage sync to the portable device must be the same as existing on the computer
    which was written by Album. But many mobile devices have an option to play
    "Random" or "Shuffle", and even create the set lists.

    Check with the support of your portable device.

    I hope this helps.

  • Sansa 280 not recognized as a Portable device

    General information: Sansa 280th with firmware version 01.024.24A; Operating system Windows Vista, service pack 2; MSC mode; Windows Media Player version 11.0.6002.18111.

    My computer only recognizes the Sansa player when it is connected in MSC mode.  When it is connected to the MTP device does not appear in the computer widow.  However, when connected in MSC , an icon labeled mass storage mode removable disk (F soon will appear next to DVD RW drive (E labeled and a few seconds later a removable disk (G labeled icon appears next to the removable disk (F labeled icon.))))  An AutoPlay window appears followed by a popup indicating that "it is not children in the drive...". ».  I tested other portable devices and all appear as a portable device.  It seems to me that my Sansa player has lost its identity.

    When I drag a playlist to sync pane in Windows Media Player (WMP) and click on the button synchronize the files copy to the device.  Everything looks normal on the player.  The music seems like songs, but nothing appears in the list of reading as the list go.  I formatted the device, both on the computer window and using the method of hold/record , after which I reinstalled the firmware.

    I would appreciate help anyone can provide in resolving this issue.

    This morning I took a glance at the problem again. I went into the Device Manager and uninstalled the driver in MTP mode. I then reinstalled it manually with the driver selected in a list. Driver selection was easy because there was only one on the list. It is installed successfully! When you try to update the driver automatically, Vista kept saying that the driver was updated. What I think happened is that the driver has become corrupted and the only way to replace it was to force Vista to reinstall, which then solved the problem. Just my guess. Sorry, but I know just enough about dangerous software systems. But I learned a lot during this experience.

    In any case, under the MPT mode the computer recognizes the Sansa player as a portable device! However, in WMP it has no music file recognized. I think that WMP table should update since I Sync playlists and he did return to his table where that data is stored. It comes to decide whether or not to reformat the device in MSC mode and start again, then switch to the PSG and synchronize albums, playlist, etc., in WMP. And then there are worries that something can go wrong, since OMP recognizes two Sansa e280 players. We're working and the other is a mannequin. Additionally, this strange thing of two in MSC mode mass storage devices is always displayed in the window of the computer (aka My in Win XP) (see the original post). So not all of my fears are unfounded, while other strange things continue. For now, I'll leave the single unit and reformat and start over when I feel compelled to do.

    I appreciate the assistance. He made me started lookng in the right direction. Thanks again!

  • The disk ripped files do not playback on portable devices

    Files ripped with media player won't read in portable devices, how to check if they are mp3s?

    My LG rumor and my Blackberry play mp3s, but will not play the music files I have copy on the microdisc in each device. A mistake on the Blackberry indicates its a format not supported, but I don't know how to determine the format. How can I check this, and how can I convert these?

    Hi bcrich58,

    The default format in Windows Media Player is Windows Media Audio.

    When you rip MP3 files in Windows Media Player, if the format is not changed to .wmv in mp3, files will be torn in .wmv format. After extraction, it is not possible to use the player to change the format (for example, from WMA to MP3) or the bitrate of the ripped files previously.

    To read this file in other devices, you may need to convert it to MP3 again and try to play.

    You can use your favorite search engine to download a third-party codec and check if you can play the file in other devices

    Note:  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • How can I disable WPDBusEnum aka Portable Device Enumerator Service? __ __

    I were quick around more than a week with a synchronization with a SanDisk "memory sticks WMP problem".  I came on what could be a possible solution, IE cut the WPDBusEnum aka Portable Device Enumerator Service.
    Anyone know how to disable?

    Since I never want to synchronize anything, I never tried to synchronize the WMP with SanDisk.
    However it is 'uncontrolled mode' WMP sync once to the Sandisk.
    The problem I had was trying to No SYNCHRONIZATION.

  • Suddenly cannot sync albums of additional Photos from Mac to iPhone!

    Hi and thanks for reading!

    I use OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan on Macbook Pro with iTunes version 12.5.1 and just upgraded to iOS on iPhone 10.0.2 SE. There are 40 GB of storage available on the iPhone.

    All my photos are stored on my Mac and I always synchronize the albums selected using iTunes. Until today, I had nine albums (about 2000 pictures) synced to my phone. Just upgraded yesterday to iOS 10 and... cannot sync any additional album for my iPhone!   Do not help disable iTunes, Photos or even the iPhone and sync again. New pics added today to the former synchronized albums synchronizes all right.

    Is there a trick?  Or a problem of incompatibility between iOS 10 and iTunes 12.5.1?

    Good news!  Problem solved!

    First of all, I noticed that on my iPhone, WeChat (a good Chinese software equivalent to Facebook x WhatsAp) saw my fine albums, while the pictures couldn't!

    So weird, that I was convinced to try once more to bring my old file Photos Cache in my photo library, even if a new cache file is supposed to be created whenever iTunes syncs photos.

    For some reason, the last time I tried it did not work, but this time he did: my old cache file was now in my photo library!  I don't know what I did differently.  In any case, I sync my photos once more with iTune then open the pictures on my iPhone, half hoping to find my old nine albums back... and here they were!  Even my two additional albums were there, with all the photos inside!

    Problem solved, even though I still don't know what it was. Looking at other positions in the community in respect of 'Synchronization of Photos with iOS10', it seems that iOS10 there a problem that requires a sort of library discount at zero.  Thank you Leonie bear with me and try to reproduce the problem on your computer!  Information guide me to the solution. And I'm very happy that I can wait a few months before moving to the Sierra...
