Brainbug1977 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I upgraded my german SS, (www.connect-europe.com download) from 3.1 to 3.2, using it to connect to my NW-407. But now, SS offers everytime I connect my device to authorize it. When I agree, SS seems to connect to the Connect shop but aborts a few seconds later with an error message like "It seems like you are outside U.S. bla bla bla".So SS refuses to transfer ATRAC tracks to my player.How can I tell my german SS to connect to the european Connect shop for authorizing?

kilgore Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 does anyone have any ideas on how to remedy the situation?kil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainbug1977 Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 I completely uninstalled SonicStage (registry keys too), re-installed SS 3.2, initialized my device and then authoring was not a problem. I believe, I got this problem when upgrading my SS 3.1 to 3.2, at first, I installed the US version before the European version. Maybe that was the mistake...

kilgore Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 (edited) well, i followed your advice, and i am happy that what you did worked for you. it didn't work for me. may i ask which sonicstage version you downloaded (european or us) and how did you actually go about authorizing the device? i don't even have the options to authorize my device anymore. is it now hidden away in sonicstage? it used to be in the tools menu and in the device/info button. but it's not there anymore.i am no longer able to transfer my songs from my device to my pc. i've been downloading every version of sonicstage available, but i've had no luck what-so-ever. before i tried going through brainbug's procedure, i was able to transfer my songs back to my pc unlimited times (even though it was only to one pc). now i'm not even able to do that?CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE?!

Ryzir Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 You don't really have to authorize the device unless you want to purchase tracks from Connect or use multiple computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peare Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 You don't really have to authorize the device unless you want to purchase tracks from Connect or use multiple computers.←Many people use multiple computers nowadays.All you have to do is to convince SS that you are coming from within the US. To do this go to the following page and chose a US transparent proxy and copy/paste it to your IE connection LAN settings with port values of course. SS will work slower but at least you will be able to authorize your device and computer.http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.htmlhope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
