Nokia N900 Hangs

Bijiont · Newbie Joined: 24 Dec 2009 Posts: 18

Hello everyone,

I am using my MacBook Pro (10.6.2) and Salling 1.1.5 (225) paid version and while syncing my music it always stops at 512 items. All the items I am syncing are the same bitrate.

I have tried several times to delete all the items including the MediaSyncDeviceID.txt to allow for a clean new sync however it still hangs at 512 items.

Is there something wrong with the salling sync software or something which I am not seeing wrong with the .MP3?

What do you mean by "stops at 512 items"?

The sync will start and once it has reached 512 items out of 2000 the application will not sync or copy any information. There is plently of free space on the device (Nokia N900) so it's not a space issue.

I have left it in this state for 9+ hours without any progress (checked via terminal for the copied bytes of the file it was on). It will remain at 512 items of 2000 until I quit the application.

Could you please check the system Console log, to see if there are any messages there?

system console error shows a bunch of "CANNOT PARSE ARTWORK IN /var/folders/FH/FH2CgAxUF304upkw3Q9ooE++TI/-Tmp-/Random String here.mp3

I couldn't find anything else which refeered to Salling software unless you have certain actions running under something else. I have already copied my Music over manually and am going to try and have the software just check the media as I used the same file structure as what you did. I will see what happens. If that fails I will start a new console log and try another fresh sync to see what errors appear.

Just removed all Music from my N900 and tried another sync.

Once again it has stopped. Here is the status this time.
512 of 3757 - copying "Angel Night ～天使のいる場所～ (instrumental).mp3"

After about 10 minutes I do get the following in the console log.
fsHandler
setupReparseTimer
onReparse

Any update(s) on this yet?

You can ignore this error message. It just means that one of your tracks has corrupt artwork in it. The error does not indicate that the sync will stop.

These log messages do not pertain to the transfer of files, and just indicate that one of the media libraries on the computer got updated.

I think you're seeing a phone-related malfunction. Did you try a different SD-card? Reformat the card?

This is not an issue with the card if you actually took the time to read my posts. I was able to manually copy and use the music with no problem. This memory card has also been used with other Nokia brand phones with no issues.

I am seriously regretting purchasing this software which is obviously not working and only given the explination of "it must be your memory card".

For now I have created my own script which will sync my music when launched until you fix the issues with your software.

Okay. Sorry.

The forums is not a great place to do difficult debugging of an issue you're having.

If you want real support, you should send a support email. I'll pick it up from there and try to figure out what's going on.

Will do.

E-mail should arrive in the next 5~30 minutes.

In the event any other N900 owners are seeing this issue I wanted to update with what I know so far.

Recently ran a debug item per salling which failed as well. Same results, 512 items copied and it dies.

This is starting to look to me anyways a possible compatibility issue with Mac 10.6.2 however nothing in the console log shows an error.

I will try and post what I find out to keep people in the loop :D
It's always nice to find out what the fix is rather than just fixing it. At least for me anyways.

Just to clarify. We've established that the problem has nothing to do with the N900. I also know that there's obviously no general problem occurring for everyone at 512 tracks. Same thing with Mac OS X 10.6.2 (most people are using it).
