PocketMac Sync iTunes Question

[PerryNY]

I am trying to sync my iTunes playlist onto my Bold and the option to check the box is grey. Any advice will appreciated.

I think for this you have to turn Mass Storage on. I hope someone will be along in a minute to confirm that for you.

I tried that and it still says that my media card is not detected. What's next, should I uninstall and then reinstall the software?

[smileycamper]

hmmm i am not sure then, hopefully someone with more of an idea will be along soon for you.

I am getting the same thing, but then again I only have a 1 gb card in there, and my itunes library is 12.75gb. Stupid guess, but perhaps you need a card big enough to house the library for it to detect?

You can load songs by turning on mass storage. You will then get a blackberry icon on the Mac. Click on it, find the music folder, and just drag and drop songs into that music folder from itunes. It worked for me. Now I just need a 8gb card! Or perhaps 16gb...

you need a micro SD card that can support that much information. I know...it happened to me once so know I have a 4g micro SD card and my mass storage is always on.......

I can only drag and drop around 10 songs(1 album) at a time, or else it just wouldn't do it. Anyone else have this problem? It'll take a long time to drop 10 songs at a time...

Thanks

Nevermind, I booted into Windows, loaded the songs all at once and worked great.

Do you know that for sure, that I need my library to be smaller than my microSD?
My library is about 56 GB ±300mb
I've heard there are 16 GB cards, when do they launch 57 GB ?

What about iPhoto then? Have the same issue. The box is not active, can't mark it, but my iPhoto library is quite small

Do you have the device attached via USB when you are looking at your options? Or do you have PocketMac opened and just poking around? I found if the device isn't attached, those options are grayed out and not changeable. Kinda silly I think but I didn't program PocketMac

I just used a card reader!

PocketMac fails on this, and evidently it's a known problem with no estimated fix date:

I have been able todo this on my storm, first I enabled the mass storage support on my device so everytime I plug it in it automatically pops up as if it were 2 flash drives. I ejected the main device which is 1 gig but left the 8 gig connected. I personally created playlists and have just syncd the playlists and have had no issues.

One main issue that I have noticed is the Protected Itunes content. It syncs fine but when it comes down to playing i get the licensing error. Hope this helps!

In case anybody's still wondering on this, I've noticed that if i run PocketMac before i plug in my Storm that it won't see it. If i let the volumes mount on the desktop first and then open PocketMac, everything works fine.
