Transfering digital copy's to Galaxy Tab

I've tried everything I can think of including just drag and drop to the SD card to transfer digital copys to my tab and every time it gives me a license error...from what I have seen galaxy tab's have an issue with DRM anyway but kies wont connect because I cant enable the correct mode because I dont see the option for it on my tab and a PC studio option doesnt exist on my tab...
What software are you guys using to transfer digital copys...? I could always rip the DRM out but i'd like to be able to just transfer a legit copy in a legit way...
thanks in advance

Try syncing with Windows Media Player. This method definitely works for DRM'd movies downloaded from Samsung Movies.

[Q] Ford Escape 2011 SYNC Version Gen1 - V3.2 and the Cappy in USB

I am running Mosaic IV (2.3) on my Captivate. So far the SYNC picks up my phone, grabs the phonebook, can dial and play media through bluetooth. Really don't care about text messages coming through.
The thing I'd love to know is how to get it to be recognized and play the media through USB connection so it will index the music, etc.
I did read a ford post that the person put it into media player mode and connected and it worked but it doesn't even find the device when I do that (can't get it to install a proper driver in my Win 7 either). It does find it when I put it into Mass Storage and hit the connect button but sits at initializing for a long long time then pops up as unsupported device.
I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with this? I'm also wondering if it has something to do with the Media player mode not working on my Win 7 either.
Thanks in advance

You will have to download an app called Sync My Ride made by Ford and run that to change the tags on your music files so that sync can recognize them. Keep your phone in USB Storage mode. Also, try moving your music files from the SD card to the internal card or vise versa. Not sure how sync handles the two different drives that come up if you have a SD card in. I use my Captivate in my Ford Focus with no problem. It does take a while to index my music files (about 30 mins for all my music) using the usb connection, so I prefer to use the Bluetooth media option through sync now.

Thanks for the info. Can't find it in the market or by Google. Any ideas? Have the apk handy?

Hunting through their software I see sync my phone which would help with my phonebook but i'm not having a problem with that. I took the music folder off my phone and put it on a simple 2gb usb memory stick and it picked it all up and indexed no problem so i don't think it's an issue with the tags otherwise they wouldn't have read.
It didn't pick it up when the music was on my internal sd just sat at initializing then eventually timed out and said not supported. Did the same thing when ONLY my music was on the external sd card and formatted at FAT. Saw someone say to use FAT32 (which is what the USB is formatted at and it works), so I did just that and put it at FAT32 and with only my music folder on there it still had no love.. didn't even try to initialize just said USB Empty.. so it thought it was supported, just nothing on there.
Well I think it is just going to be easier to have a basic usb drive in there with the music. I can 'sync' my music folder to the USB at anytime.. and as I won't have playlists i'll just make album tags since that works just fine.
If anyone else has any ideas toss em in.
Thx!

[Q] How to run SmartShare?

Hello everyone! I have a question for you.. Today i tried to use SmartShare. As to my knowledge, the app i used for transfering files from my mobile phone to my computer. I installed Plex Media Server and Nero MediaHome 4 and i dont know how to start it up. When I open SmartShare on my phone, It recognizes my phone but doesnt recognize my computer. Maybe I got this app all wrong, but i hope someone can help me...

Smartshare is to tranfer files using wifi. You can use bluetooth. Better check using user guide.

No no no, smart share is clasic DLNA app...so basically you can use DLNA capable device TV, PC, notebook...that share same WIFI network (some old routers are not capable to stream DLNA). On PC zou need to enable sharing and media streming, no need for PLEX etc.

And how do I enable that?

Im using with my tv LG LV5500. There already a smartshare on LG tv`s. I dont know if it works with other tv`s. But w/ LG TV`s you just have to be on the same router using wifi, then your lg tv will apear in your 4x smartshare appand you can start using it.

The problem is not on TV's, is on computers but, I didn't try it...
If the computer have shared media it should appear in the phone list of Smart Share.
I'll check how it works...

Question is not clear, but I guess you ask how to enable PC to receive media from phone.
Open Windows Media Player click on stream tab and check allow remote control, leave it open and scan again for players on phones Smart Share app...
Next time be more clear...

Admitting that the windows you use is illegal(is is,right?) requires great courage. You should be proud...
However, using ingenuine software(hacked, cracked, illegal) is not really smart, as far as i know you windows is not capable of recieving updates. (I have checked, and tyere seems to be illegal versions of win7 out there that can take updates, with the risk of beeing detected and sued by MS)
So be careful when downloading whatever you find, even here on xda.
Buy win8, it isnt that expensive...

Windows pre-activated or "activated" with windows loader, are able to update and they give no problems. Same with office. We just need to download official trial and convert it into pro.
Windows 8 it's the 2nd Vista. Fiasco. I will never use it!

Cant sync movie to my LG optimus 4X

Hi XDA forums,
Ive bought my LG for quite some time now and I've finally stopped worrying about battery life and started to want to watch movies on my device.
However this all came down crashing onto me when I tried to transfer a movie file (705mb) onto my phone.
I get this specific message when I try View attachment 2143251
The same thing happens when i use PC suite, View attachment 2143252
It seems like it doesn't matter what file it is, I've split the file in 2, 375Mb and 325mb and transfered that way but still no use.
In the past i have however successfully transfer photos and videos OUT of my phone onto my computer to free up space on the phone.
I have no sd card, using internal memory 16gb.
I am with Wind.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Photos, Music, Videos on SDcard by default?

I haven't had a phone with an SDcard for quite awhile now and on my wife's old Razr i there was no way to get pictures/music/videos to be saved on the SDcard by default, moving them for storage space became a hassle. Does the Z3c have a way to set Pictures/Music/Videos to be saved onto the SDcard by default?

I believe most camera apps have the option now to store the files on an external card. I guess that would go for pictures and videos.
I'm not sure what you mean by music.
There is no default music on the phone, so anything you put on the phone will probably come from yourself (And you can choose where to store it soooo )

Do you have a Z3c to check the camera has a setting to store to the SDcard? As far as music I'm referring to things like Play Music, Slacker/Beats/Spotify/etc music subscriptions that allow you to cache songs to storage for offline playback when you have a subscription.

Thanks appreciate it, I know it's painfully slow to transfer large amounts of pictures/music files from internal to SDcard so hoping you get to choose the location first.
Can you please check the camera settings also.

Both play music and the camera app have options to set the default location as the SD card.

Give Spotify a chance all the music you want for sonly some bucks a month and you can even download it to your computer/tablet/mobile so you can listen to it even when you are offline (all with one account).. so good.

I like it because of the playlists and that I have the same songs on all my devices without having to sync them - that's all
Also,the music is (kinda) already there, you don't have to download it

Yeah if you have multiple devices then I can understand it.
I only have my phone as a portable device.
I've got all of my songs on my phone and pc, so that if one fails I still have a back up.

Thanks for confirming that.

Can Apps be installed in the SD card? Seems Sony only has this feature for lower end phones. I have not seen evidence the Z3c allows to move apps to the SD. I am guessing that will be under Settings-->Apps-->(select an app?)
Thanks
***Update***
So it seems the answer is NO.
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...rage-to-SD-card/td-p/841605?sl=y&sso_no_log=y

I read yesterday that Google is bringing back more "open" access to the SD card again via Lollipop. Finally!

not sure if this was resolved, but you can transfer all photos, video s and music to the SD card via Settings > Storage > Transfer Data to SD card.
Not sure if this means all future music will automatically go there. Can anyone confirm?

There is a periodic check to see if your internal memory is over 75% full. When it is, you get prompted to use this Sony Utility. Unfortunately for me my picture transfer fails (even though I have my camera app set to save it to SD Card). Which is how I ended up in this thread.
I'm living with this only because i know it will change once we get Lollipop.

Photos on the SD card
The problem I'm having is I accidently clicked my SD card for my photo storage and then I realized what happened and changed it back to internal memory storage but now all the photos I took while it was set to the SD option I can't find them now. I'm fairly certain I checked all the folders and the 10 or so photos I took are nowhere to be found.
