argh!

okay well for all my experiences I have avoided most of the SS hassle over the years, until now.

i had to do a re-format due to a failing hard drive and backed up my files (36 GBs in about 800 Albums) using the methods listed here on teh forums, to a tee. have them on my Lacie USB drive. I re-installed all my software and re-upped s.s. 3.4 (from my MZ-RH1)and I am able to rip and encode new material and transfer to my rh1 & nh600d...however -

I can not re-uplaod the database from the USB drive using the Backup Library option. It tries to authenticate it online and tells me it fails verification and closes.

So I re-imported the folders one at a time (only about 20 to test) and they all play fine. the titling is still there. no issues. until i tried to transfer them. I get an an error saying "Unable to transfer tracks"

is there anyone out there witha quick suggestion? I know this has come up millions of times, and have searched the forums and tried other ways of doing things. no luck.

thanks in advance

BUMP

I thought I had this solved, but yet SS beats me again!

I tried to recently transfer some of the same albums that had no problems 2 days ago, earlier today. I got an error saying tracks that are not atrac format or purchased from the connect store can not be transferred, or something to that effect.

it is weird. cos if i delete the album and re-import it (as a folder) i can play it, transfer it, convert to wav, no restrictions. but every now and then when i re-open ss it won't let me do anything excpet play it. and if i check the properties for that song, it tells me i can't transfer it.

what could be wrong here? this is a fresh install of xp and ss, and i never had this problem ever...

bum again

well now i ahve re-installed ss according to the foumn's guidelines and used the MDAC tool and what not. still no luck. now when ever i try and convert a track to ANY format from WAV, i get a warning stating that the files contain SDMI content and that OpenMG needs to ve updated and to visit their website.

WTF? never seen that ONE before...

any one?

so i guess since no one has had any answer for me in almost a week, that i guess i should just wipe my hard drive, yet again ,and reformat...correct?

I would have assumed someone here would have been able to help....

I haven't been able to access my library or do any transfers in a week.....ARGH!
