Archos forum / Computer Connection

« on: July 02, 2006, 08:43:16 pm »

I have had my archos for about 2 months now and it has worked fine until now.  Well i just got back from vacation for a week and now it now longer connects to my computer.  I have it set on hard drive.  I used to just go to My Computer and then the AV500 would be an option.   It does not show up there any more.

My computer does recognize its attached though.  When I click on safely remove the device the Archos AV500 is an option.  

Someone please help me, I can't download anything until i get this fixed.

My battery came like that too and with that version of firmware.  

About the buttons you might want to be careful.  After only one day with mine the buttons failed, but i was able to get it exchanged for no cost.

Although I am not positive, I could have sworn that some review I read about it said it was not possible.  Hopefully a future firmware will allow this.

Archos forum / Help On Volume Level Please On Av500

When you are recording from the tv look at the bottom a little to the right and you will see the sound level.  If you press right on the keypad it should increase the level.  If you have it on the highest then I dont think there is anything you can do.

As for the screen, a lense cleaning cloth should work alright.  The screen on the AV500 does not scratch too easily.  I used to own a Mpack p800 and that scratched all the time but so far the av500 has not scratched for me.

Archos forum / A Few Problems

« on: May 27, 2006, 07:59:38 pm »

Well I have 100gb Archos AV500.  I really like it but there are a few questions I have about it.

The first problem is about downloading from a digital camera.  I have two cameras.  A casio ex-z50 and a Casio s500.  They have almost identicle features except that the s500 is smaller and newer.  I can download pics from my z50 but not my s500.  Both are on mass storage so I can not see why one works but not the other.  Its a problem for me because I usually carry the s500.

The next problem is with music.  I want to delete a few artists but can not figure out how to from the device.  I can delete individual songs from playlists but not from the main music archive.  I could do it from the computer but it would take longer to find the files since you can not browse by author when using the computer with the av500.  

Finally, who has the expierence with the triple battery pack.  Does it actually give about 15 hours with video?  About how much bigger is the triple battery than the standard one?

So if anyone knows an answer to my problems please help.

Thanks,
Taylor
