[stevemiller]

ive got both psp units, the big heavy black one and the new white one with darth on back, im using max media pro manager to load pics, music, and whatever on the older one with no problems at all, problem is when i connect the new psp, (2001) to my laptop, the max program wont recognize it, computer says its there but cant get the max program to work with it, i know its most likely something im doing (im no einstien) and would like to fix the problem, any help would be most appreciated, also, its been doing this since day i got it

Hmm...I haven't heard of this problem before. You might want to check if there is an update to Max Media Pro Manager that fixes your problem. Check their website or call the company if you payed for this program.

Also, in reality, if you're just using it to load pics and music, you don't need any kind of program, you can just copy and paste your files into the appropriate folders.

Vamp, the max i got, i purchased, also, i did an update recently and tried to connect after the update and still the same thing, as for the coping and pasting the files, ive never done that, like i said before, im green when it comes to the psp, so green i smell of pine, lol, anyway, seems as if i remember right, i had the same problem with the older psp at one time and i worked it out, one of them, dont know what i done, but it done it, i do at times listen to radio and surf net on both of them, think is ide like both to operate the same to make it easier on me, im an old man

Well, since you bought the program, you should look for a way to contact the company that made it and they should be able to offer you support.

As far as just dragging and dropping files, it's really simple. After you plug your PSP into your PC and enter USB mode on the PSP, it will show up on your computer as an external drive. To find it just go into the Start menu > My Computer > PSP (it should be either D:, E:, or F: drive).

Open it up and you should see all the folders on your memory stick. Then all you have to do is open the folder with the media you want to put on your PSP and right click the file you want to copy and select copy. Go back to the PSP Window, find the folder that corresponds to your file (MUSIC for music etc.) and right click in the Window again and select paste. After you eject your PSP your files should be on your PSP.

i did what you were saying about the copy and paste, course i was dragging, 6 one way half dozen the other, anyway, it worked fine for the pictures and music, couldnt get the video files to load right, think its the way my videos are formatted, answer me this, some videos i copy and paste, i cant find on any of the psp files but when i hook the psp back up to the computer, it shows they are there, like i said earlier, i know its prob something im doing, thanks for the help so far, steve

for videos you have to create a second folder inside the music folder and also name the movie files with a different name cant remember off the top of my head. Hope this helps and someone else can fill in the gaps i left.:P

Use PSP Video 9 to convert your files into PSP format. Just do a google search. The program will even place your videos into the correct folder for you. It's really simple and free. Make sure you follow the directions as most problems I've seen are caused by people just not following directions properly.

ill give what you are saying a try and let you know how it works out, as for following instructions, 5 years military school and 6 years as army ranger, bout all i can do is follow instructions, married for 10 years helps too, lol, do this, do that, life story......
