Where is it hanging up at? I'm thinking its a computer problem not a PSP problem. Sounds like it has some communication issues.

ive tried it on my pc my laptop and my mates and its like its breaking the connection somehow it gives the error that it cant file the location to where its sending the file

Find out the exact error. What operating system are you using?

bigcmck · 03-15-2005, 05:45 PM

it comes up

error copying file

cannot copy "filename" : cannot find the specified file

make sure you specify the correct path and filename.

im running Windows XP SP2

any ideas

ive actually managed to get one mp3 across and the funny thing is it lets me play it thru windows media player from the psp but wont let me go from the pc to psp

Is this happening on one specific file or all files? I'd try to get ahold of Norton Utilities and run Windows Doctor to clean up any deleted or wrong file paths. try making a copy of the file and dragging it into the portable drive for PSP

its a fresh install of xp pro sp2 ive made a shortcut and tried cutting and pasting and dragging and dropping its the same with all files once i format that seems to be the only time i can get a file on it im just wonderingif the cables faulty

No...the error its giving, is basically telling you "I don't know where that file is to copy it" Which is wierd cuz you can play it from that file on the PC. I don't think its the cable.
