Rio 258 cannot connect to computer

Are you sure that isn't "internal" memory card is full message?

Sometimes, when "internal memory card is full" there is no more space in the camera's internal memory. Your camera has 16 MB of internal memory. The number of pictures you can store depends on the picture size setting you have selected on your camera. Keep in mind that the camera always uses internal memory, even if a card is installed (auto default).

If really, the problem is in the "SD memory card", I suggest make some backup all files and reformat the SD. Try formatting it in the camera, there should be a process in your owners manual for doing this; donw formatted SD in your computer, isn't good.

Hope helps.

was there any cd given along with the purchase of this player???????

The Opal has a reset hole on the back of the unit in which a toothpick (non metallic) can be inserted to reboot the player. If this does not work, I suggest that you reformat the player by using the Windows format command on the unit. To reformat the memory:
Right click on the device within the Explorer or My Computer window
Select the format command (full format) to reformat the internal memory of the device.
Reinstall the firmware from http://download.rcaaudiovideo.com/downloads/opal_fwutility_v2.3.0.exe
-tHA mP3 dOCTOR

Press the MENU and turn it on, as soon as the word RIO shows on the screen release the power button but do not release the MENU button until it says upgrading
Plug the USB cord to it and install Rio Forge Firmware_120
Turn the mp3 off then on normally
Put the music back on your mp3 and it SHOULD be fixed. but your music will be gone..

hope this helps,

1. Right click on the device within the Explorer or My Computer window

You need to connect the Rio to a PC and then use the Windows Explorer format disk feature to reformat the Forge's flash memory as a FAT32 partition.

I had the same problem and, after scouring the internet in search of a solution, found nothing. So I started messing around with things. About 5 minutes ago I came up with something that worked for me! I'm still in 'testing' mode but it's playing some ACDC now so I'm happy. ;-)

My first step was to download a firmware 'update'. I'm not sure if it's newer or older than the firmware that I already had in there, but it works so what the heck. It's version 1.16 and is available for download here:

http://www.opendrivers.com/downloaddriverlink.php

Filename is 'RioForgeFlash_116.exe'

To update the firmware, I connected the player via the USB cable. It will power itself up automatically - make sure you have a fresh set of batteries in it. Once it powers up, turn it off but leave it plugged in via USB. Then, power it up again but press and hold the mode button (the small button on the face, to the left of the main navigation buttons. It's the one you use to select different play modes etc.). It will power up and display 'UPGRADER'. From this mode, run the udate file (RioForgeFlash_116.exe); it will update the firmware in the Forge.

Once completed, my Forge interacted normally with the Rio Music Manager and I was able to upload music to it again. I did lose all the music that was in there and on the storage card, but that's better than having a useless MP3 player!

Best of luck!

Turn it on holding the MENU button, connect the usb cable and update the firmware that u can download from www.rioaudio.com, that will fix it.

1. go to http://www.digitalnetworksna.com/support/r....asp?prodID=213 and download update 1.33 2. install update in C:\RioForge\Flash133 3. run RioForgeFlash_133.exe from C:\RioForge\Flash133 4. press Rio Forge menu button and turn the unit on. "upgrader" will appear on screen. 5. plug USB cable to RioForge. 6. click "next" on Rio Upgrade Wizard. Wizard will detect your player. Select and click "next". Upgrade will take place. 7. Unplug Rio Forge from USB and turn it on. Voil?!

what is the meaning of "not play"? In general please verify that: Channel selectors matched up on the transmitter and receiver? Audio jacks tightly connected? If the audio jack is not COMPLETELY seated in the socket at the rear of the Lyra Wireless receiver, you will not hear audio. Audio jacks connected to appropriate input on audio equipment? Source selector on audio equipment set appropriately? Volume levels set on MusicMatch software and audio equipment? Batteries in the remote control? The Remote Control has a Red Light that should turn on whenever a button is pressed. If the unit locks up and will not respond: Remove and re-install the batteries. Using Explorer or My Computer, locate the recent files transferred and delete them. Make sure that the original audio files are valid (not corrupt) by playing them back through MusicMatch Jukebox before retransferring them to the device. If the problem still persists, reformat the memory. To reformat the memory, right click on the device within the Explorer or My Computer window, select the format command (full format) to reformat the internal memory of the device. Ensure that FAT is selected if you are using Windows 2000 or XP. if the display shows "00" tracks in the display: You may need to re-format the unit's internal memory. Good luck!
