Hey there! A few years ago, I backed up 14 completed songs from my 2488 to my pc. I had to have a new motherboard installed under warranty. The songs show up as a HAYES JT FAX file. Never heard of that. I followed the instructions on page 74 of the manual to a tee. After (drag and dropping) loading 5 songs into the partition I'm working in, the message came up on the screen that there was no more room. Great, I thought......so I closed out and unhooked the usb connection(step 4), dismissed the popup (step 5) pressed menu, DATA BACKUP and the USB RESTORE key. The message: IMPORT FILE NOT FOUND< USE USB OPEN TO IMPORT FILE.
I rehooked up and opened the USB connection, went to "My Computer", found the 2488 as the "G" drive and opened it. There were the 5 songs showing as the HAYES JT FAX files...song# so and so .....
So, then I remembered that the version of the machine that these song files were recorded on was version 1.01. The nice guys at the repair shop gave me an updated version 1.02 upgrade when they repaired it (the 3rd time it was in there).
Is that why the newer version isn't reading the songs?
Is there some download app available for me to get around this?
Or some sort of reader that is available?
AM I simply not doing something correct?
It would save a TON of work of re-recording the songs if there is something available. Thank you all, in advance!! Jim
