Pono player not recognized
cristofer:
Actually, no...when I hover the mouse over one of the files, it displays a directory that says /Volumes/PONOPLAYER/Music/*filename (the name of the playlist)* So it appears that the files have been moved to the player.
But no such playlist exists on the PonoPlayer. All the tracks are there, under the tab for Songs, but they are not grouped together as a coherent playlist.

Try this:
1. create a playlist in PMW (right click on "Playlists" in left-hand tree view, select New Playlist, and give it a name)
2. drag and drop music tracks from the PMW "Music Library" view (NOT from tracks on the PonoPlayer listed under "PonoPlayer, Drive & Devices".
3. double click the playlist to listen to it in PMW
4. connect your PonoPlayer device and press "Yes" for the Load Music? question
5. select "Sync Handheld" in the lower left "action window"
6. drag and drop the playlist onto the PonoPlayer device
7. after the transfer, disconnect the device and test playing the playlist on it
Now try playing t

I suspect some occurrences of the "not recognized" issue is a pono firmware 1.04 problem since even windows can't recognize the pono when the problem occurs, even if set to Transfer Mode, even if reconnect. Sometimes you just keep restarting, reconnecting until it works. Sometimes pmw recognizes the drive but doesn't show any files on it even though it's loaded.
The_Traced:
Hello, I had recently purchased a Pono player on eBay advertised as brand new, unopened and in working condition and it appears to be so.
Everything is functional except for my ability to sync music to it through Pono music world due to the lack of connectivity with the computer. Upon connecting the device it will charge, but will not prompt me with a "load music" option or even be picked up as a device on windows (using windows 8 by the way). I was reading around here prior to posting and noticed others were also having this issue so I'm left wondering, is there is a firmware bug? Also considering PMW is in the beta phase, may this just be a waiting situation or am I dealing with a damaged/defective device? Or better yet has anyone in a similar situation found a fix?
Thanks.
JimH:
When you connect, don't press "Done" on the device.
Updating the firmware should improve the process. This should happen automatically, but you may need to leave it connected for a while, then restart the device.
