Please help a Mac user! I have heard people moved songs "manually" - but how?

To resolve this issue, complete the following steps: Open the Extensions folder by navigating to HD &gt; System &gt; Library &gt; Extensions. Delete the following files: BlackBerryUSB.kext BlackBerryUSBDev.kext Restart the computer. Install the PocketMac 4.1.25 for BlackBerry smartphones driver update.

The download is a preview, so I wouldn't touch it. They should have something soon. Just search iTunes or mediasync on the blackberry site. Hope that helps!

I use WAV. One I record the song and use the Xitel "de-clicker" to get rid of the typical album clicks, I use Audacity to dig the song from my C drive, I then expert it via WAV, and then move it from my C drive to the I Tunes Purchased folder via drag and drop. It's really very easy, and it has saved me a good amount of money that I would have spent buying each song for $1.29 from I Tunes.

I figured out how to remove the pre-loaded songs. Connect your player to the computer and through Windows Media Player, under sync, it will list the songs you have currently in there. Click on the ones you don't want and delete! Voila. It really was racking my brain as well.

Normally you would select them by pressing the control key and clicking on each song you want to transfer. If you want to transfer ALL, select the first in the list and hold the shift key while using the Down Arrow or End key to highlight the entire list. Right click on a selected title and select "Copy" or Drag & Drop the list into the desired folder. Much easier said than done! :-) Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. - Mike

Where their is a will, there is a way. However, I find that support for iTune or any other playlists to be troublesome at best across all players with the exception of iTunes across apple products. To get the same effect trouble free, I simply create folders by the name of the playlists and copy those songs to those folders and chose folders like playlists. This system will work great with any player that supports files which is pretty much all of them. Assuming that you have high quality files and good headphones, the increased sound quality over apple products or any other player in its price range will make the trouble well worth the effort. The X5 is uniquely good in terms of SQ. Where their is a will, there is a way.

I haven't tried that feature. We are having a difficult time to get it to shuffle in a playlist so I would think if you assigned it all to the playlist it will play it. To be honest, this wasn't a good purchase...freezes up quite a bit when trying maneuver from folder to folder.

That's all I do is burn from my MAC using iTunes. Burn it at a slower speed like 16x. I have had 100% success and the sound quality is phenomenal. I won't buy anything else but these anymore.

JW485, I tried what you are describing and everything in my existing music library played fine. I streamed over my 2006 Macbook Pro(802.11g). To set it up in Itunes go under edit &gt; preferences&gt; advanced and change the location to your external HD. The problem I had was with downloading new music. Itunes failed to authorize and completely download any newly purchased music, and it took a day of email exchanges with the Apple support to redownload the music. Ultimately, I changed the library location back to default to my local laptop HD so that I could purchase new music without the headache. I was a bit disappointed in the process considering the cost of the router and Apple's reputation.

What I did was to create a single folder called MusicMix, and dumped almost 500 of my favorite tunes into it. I would think that if you created a complex directory structure, it might be fairly difficult to negotiate. Also, another consideration would be the class of Micro SD card you are using, the faster the read and write might be problematic. Please note that the inability to shuffling music is a huge disappointment.

Well, there won't be problems, you will just have to sync your ipods manually. That will allow you to have all of your songs on itunes, but only pick and choose which ones go onto the ipod. This is if you have itunes 7.... when you plug your ipod in that little ipod page will pop up. click the box that says "manually manage ipod". With that you will have to click and drag songs you want on your ipod.... yes yes its annoying, but it works. For any other version of itunes, go to "edit" then "preferences". You should see a tab that says "ipod". Click that then there should be something that says "manually manage ipod". Ive got itunes 7... but i think that should be where it is for any other version. What might make it easier is if you create separate playlists for you and your sister. Then you could just drag the whole playlist onto your ipod. Hope this helped!

Just use Windows "drag and drop" feature as if you were moving files between any other folders. No special software such as iTunes needed to place mp3 files on the device.

Yes, when you insert CF and an SD card each shows up in the file explored as a separate drive, you can move files between the drives. I am not sure about MAC, I use PC with Windows 7 and 8

It works like a basic USB thumb drive, just drag and drop files. You could easily just 'add folder' and name it "So-and-so's playlist" and add all of the songs you want on there. No software needed

Yeah, probably... 2 different file systems, but there is a way. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518

I don't have experience with MAC. However, I am having issues currently with the system. A cloud change was made and all my records are missing. Not very excited about it at this time.

you just have to load indiviual songs on in the order you want. The shuffle is a very simple device: play/pause, volume, and skip/reverse

For Mac users, if you are iTunes users, you have to convert your music files into MP3 & WMA format songs, and then put them into the drive. （it won't sync to your itunes）
