Not able to write files bigger than 40kb on MacOS
 

I bought a Lenan PMP-2900 2Gb.

Although macosx recognizes the player, i am not able to write files bigger than 40kb. In Windows XP I don't have this problem :( .

Any suggestion? Does anybody has the same problem?

Hello.
Resident Apple Geek here.

I found the cable that came with my rockchip player was not up to snuff. It worked well enough with my work laptop, but my mIni? Nope. Nor did it like being plugged into an unpowered USB hub.

My first advice, then is to try it with a cable you know works with your Mac, preferably plugged straight into your computer. Also, my port is/was a bit loose (until I opened the thing and crimped the holder in a bit). I could start a transfer, then a slight touch could be enough to break the connection. So make sure it is connected and resting comfortable out of harm's way.

Can you copy off the device to the Mac? If so, do it (or do it to a PC) then use Disk Utility to format it. I did it with no ill effect, and mine worked like a charm after that under both OS.

If you are having issues still. Or if in the system profiler the device is not listed properly in the USB section, then you may want to do a quick Google for a developer's app called USB Prober. This will help identify exactly what the computer thinks is connected. But that's a last resort. Let's do everything else first. ;-)

Re: macosx support question
 

Also ensure you use USB 2.0 compliant cable if your player is USB 2.0 capable.

Hi, instead your suggestions i continue with the same problem.

both my powerbook and powermac, with MAC OSX 10.4.9, are not able to write or copy files bigger than 40kb. I have tried to format in FAT32 on windows xp, but the problem continued. Disk utility didn't work, the mac hangs with. The device is mounted properly automaticaly, and in system profile it apears with the name "rock mp3" with the follow information:
ROCK MP3:

Capacity: 1.94 GB
Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: Yes
BSD Name: disk1
Version: 1.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: RockChip
OS9 Drivers: No
Product ID: 0x3203
Serial Number: USBV1.00
S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported
Vendor ID: 0x071b
.
I'll apreciate some suggestion... i hate windows, i run out from any pc, so this player will be...
Thanks for all.

"Disk utility didn't work, the mac hangs with"

That can't be good. Does it recognize the disk at all? When it hangs, are you formatting the disk or the volume?

It hangs when i am formating the volume. I have permissions to read and write and it mounts and unmounts easily. I can remove files too, i just can move files from/to the player. None of this things happens in windows xp. Nobody had this problem before?

There is one thing: i check when i remove the device in windows xp, the image of a usb cable desapears and a charging device image appears. On mac osx, when i unmount the device... the usb image continues... what do you thing about? Thanks for all

Might not be the answer you're looking for, but if you hate windows and have
a pc, the Rockchip works great on Linux!.
