My Sirius Studio Is Not Recognizing A S50 To Transfer Music

Listen to music or programs on the Sirius XM Satellite Radio Network on the Sirius S50. This portable device allows you to listen to either Sirius radio or your favorite mp3 files while in the car, on the go or at work. Transfer music to the S50 through the Sirius Studio program on your computer. If Sirius Studio does not recognize the S50 when transferring music, there may be a problem with the program. This will require updating the S50 onto an alternative Sirius network. Sirius recommends fully charging the S50 before attempting to complete any update.


Instructions


1. Install the S50 driver on to your computer, and follow all prompts to download and install it.


2. Download the S50main and gen3fw files to your computer. You can find the downloads at www.sirius.com.


3. Connect the S50 to your computer using the Sirius USB data cable. Once the two are connected, your computer should recognize the connection.


4. Copy both files to the S50 folder on the computer. This can only happen if the portable device is still connected to your computer.


5. Click "File" and then "Eject" the S50 removable drive. At this point, you can remove the S50 USB cable from the computer. A message will display saying "Restart to Update," and the S50 will turn off.


6. Hold down both the "Playlist" and "Power" buttons on the S50 portable device at the same time. While you do this, the S50 will update. Once the update is done, the S50 will automatically turn off.
