Where exactly are you stuck? Have you loaded the Livewire software? Are your tunes downloaded? What are you clicking to to load the tunes?

Then select the device, then device drivers. If the drivers aren't installed other SCT software packages will not see the device.

Sorry... can't today... between being hunkered down in the basement with a tornado warning, and waiting to get out so the family can have dinner, the phone isn't something I'm really going to get near tonight. Have you called your SCT dealer.... they should support their product.

hmm...sounds right. move the tunes to your desktop or "my documents" then click the browse link at the top of liveload and see if that works. that's what i would do. when you click browse, then select the file what is it saying? is there a pop up?

Do you have Windows Vista? You have to go to device drivers and somehow manually make SCT the driver for that device (Xcal3) when it is plugged into the CPU.

If this makes no sense, call or write to SCT, they will probably be able to explain it to you better than I can.


Hope this helps!
