Can't copy files to ppc with ActiveSync DrGandalf 12-10-2007

 For some reason I no longer can't copy music files to my ppc. I've even
tried a copy to a reader for my SD card, but when loaded in the PPC the files
are not there. What can I use to copy files from my PC to my PPC?
ActiveSync denies with it must a read file, I don't have permission, etc.
Anyone else having this problem. Thanks.

 The most-likely cause is that a program on the device already has the file
open for writing. And the typical base cause of this is that you think that
the X button on the window for that application closes it, as is the case on
the desktop. Not so on Windows Mobile. It just minimizes the application.
Use the Memory applet on the device's Control Panel to see what applications
are running and, if there is one running with the file open, Stop it. Now
try copying the file with ActiveSync...
