My internal storage device is unavailable, can not play movies, music etc. I have an archos 70.

maybe you did not properly select the right application in your tv... example if you play movies go to movies menu and if thats music go to music menu and also for pictures go to picture menu......or the format of you data is not supported of you TV..

Give up mate,
This MP3 player is total garbage, many MP3 just wont play and the Archos Service can\'t help.
Archos does not provide an firmware update for this device, even if is poorly working.
So, this product is useless as the Archos service.
Don\'t buy any Archos products or you will regret.

unable to upload movies to archos 7

And you tried formatting? Try sending it back for a warranty replacement if it is still under warranty.

go for www.downloadfreemovies.com.............

Once you connect your archos 5 to the computer, it will ask you whether u want to "enable USB' or "charge only"....select enable USB (OK). then go to "My Computer", and you will see a graphical image of the archos 5, under the name "portable devices"..
Double click on it, until you get to the "music" folder..and once you open this folder, you cn start copy-paste....- where you copy the music file from a folder in your computer, then paste it to the 'music ' folder on your archos..and you're done!!!!
peace..!

The Archos 5g should have 3g access to get on the internet as long as you get the Archos through a service provider. Where are you located?

Archos.com information:
The ARCHOS 5g does even better. Not only do you have an uncompromised web experience, but you can have it all-day, everyday. Surfing the web is now completely seamless.
You can watch online video or download movies or music albums from the Media Club even when you’re in the train. With its high storage capacity, you surely can download a lot ! And since the 3.5G network provides the same navigation comfort as your home broadband connection, you will hardly notice any difference.
All of this without compromising the essential features of the ARCHOS Internet Media Tablet.
You can store and play all your digital library in high definition quality. And since it is an ARCHOS 5, you can connect it to a DVR Station, and record TV. Just like that.

connect the usb cable for your archos to a computer. it then should auto connect on your computer. from there, just copy paste anything you want to watch/listen to the appropriate folders. example: video (for tv & movies), music, etc

how do i down load pictures ,music

1. Connect the archos to the TV ( using the 3 leads red/yellow/white into the TV or DVD player) and the other end of the lad, a single jack into the back of the archos mini set-top box. Plug the single jack into the "RV Output". 2. Then start playing a movie on the archos. 3. Then press down on the flat silver button on the top of the archos device. Your screen should turn black/blank. This means your sending your movie to your TV. 4. Tune your TV to find the Archos movie in the same way you would tune your TV to find another pay TV set-top box ( like cable TV or Satelite). Problem solved. 
You can use the same steps to send archos music to your steroe. Just plug the audio leads (white & red) into your stereo instead of your TV.
