It does not seem necessary to resort to the Targus adapter to ‘export’ to each subsequent card (i.e., ones that have been through the process previously) to get them to synch directly via the reader.Īn addendum (and reply to Joe’s question) - I think of these threads as a message in a bottle. The only thing I can see tying all this saga together is I loaded firmware to the new cards before exporting the project to get all this started.Įxporting the project a 2nd time (albeit with an assist from the Targus adapter) without loading firmware first corrected everything including the ability read directly via the built-in card reader. Now…I tried to synch each card without the adapter and …everything is back to normal. Both SD cards (4GB and 32GB) worked the same. Synch was no longer greyed out and BBM said no synch necessary. I exported the project again using the Targus adapter since the built-in reader wouldn’t work (gave a ‘can’t erase existing’ error) then as soon as it completed attempted a synch.

I reinstalled BBM 1.6.4.1 over the existing which had no effect. Sadly I can’t claim anything that follows will make the reader more knowledgeable but…problem seems to be gone. Just ran a number of things following on JoeinOttawa’s thinking. Is it possible something is adding extra crap to your card? Or do you really have that much material on it?ĭATA POINT: I’m using 8GB and 16GB cards at the moment in addition to the 4GB cards that came with my Beat Buddies (I keep a spare as a backup). Interesting question: How have you outgrown a 4GB card? I have over 400 songs in my current Project and I’m only at 1.3GB. So it is very likely (not 100%, perhaps, but very likely) the problems you are experiencing are not about BBM, but about either hardware (most likely) or operating systems.īonus question: Can you read and synch to your 4GB card through the Targus reader? Plus, software doesn’t (theoretically) deteriorate.

I don’t use my old Mac for BeatBuddying, I’m on the PC, but this seems like it should be resolveable. If all else fails, could you possibly resolve the issue by reinstalling the BBM?.Could this be related to the driver for your Targus card reader?.Am I incorrect in remembering that someone once said there was a limit to the supported size of SD card?.Could it be a formatting issue (I seem to recall Macs will read certain formats but not write to them).
