Hi Guy`s ,

Yes , I am putting the 6 upgrade files onto a blank USB drive that I know works with my T-3 , NO folder just the 6 files , that is it .

Last night I formated my USB drive on my T-3 , and today returned to my library , and using a "PC" downloaded the files . extracted them from the folder and installed them to my USB drive.

Still nothing , I install the USB drive into the T-3 , I press and hold the clear "Stop/Start" button and then an error message comes on the T-3 screen stating that the "installer was not found , please eject media" .

I then have to power down the KB , remove the USB drive with the 6 files , and then restart the T-3 and after it boots turn it off , if I don`t do that the HD heads will not lock , ( the clicking sound you get when you turn off the KB , I don`t get when trying to perform the upgrade.

Guy`s I have got to tell you , I`m starting to get really tired of this.

Still left for me to try is , removal of ALL my files from the T-3 ( midi /.txt /Custom Organ sounds ( that I downloaded and installed , using the same USB drive).

If that doesn`t work, then I must try a full system wide reset , I don`t really want to , but it will probly come to that , I just hope the "Music Finder" remains un crypted.

Ian , KF , anyone with a T-3 and a Mac , or just a T-3 , please help if possible , many thanks.

O__also well try another USB drive before the reset.

Steve Deming suggested that I try another USB drive , so that will be my next step.

I received my " new" .mfd file from James over at PK Owners Club , when I first got the T-3 and that worked fine and it looked like the 6 update files.

I wish I could figure this out ( must have fish for dinner !! )

Thanks again , you guy`s are great !!

Take care and I will keep you informed ( I was going to say updated , but that is to much like UPGRADE !! > LOL )

Me again !!

Just for the heck of it , where USB devices are "hot" plug in plug out , I also tried the following with no results either.

Press and hold the clear Start/Stop button , then turn on the T-3 and then a message comes on the screen " please insert media"

So I did and still nothing

Hi Gary,

I have "walked" several clients through the upgrade by phone, and not one experienced the issues that you are having, but then again, none were using Macs either.

I see you have posted this topic on YPKO as well..hopefully somebody with a Mac will be able to help you, or at the very least, identify the problem.


Ian

Gary, I'm not sure what you mean by the "clear" start Stop Button.
Presumably you're pressing the correct one ie. the Style stop/start button while you turn the power on.

If you have unzipped the download (I recall it was zipped up) and transferred the bare files to the stick, (not in a folder on the stick) that seems to be covered.

Another thing the instructions say is make sure there is no other USB equipment plugged into Tyros3 at the time - (and presumably don't have Ty3 connected to the Mac at the time.)

Just another thought, someone else has reminded me- where did you format the USB stick? Sometimes even with a PC you're better off formatting on the keyboard to get some to recognise files properly.
May be worth trying as Keith on YPKO has suggested along with a new stick perhaps.

Hi John,

I have formated the USB drive on the T-3 , and also tried using (MS-Dos - Fat 16).

Neither method has worked.

Just don`t get it , I have used that same drive for so many uses with my T-3 , and all worked fine , even if the drive was formated in Mac HFS,

But , I still am going to try another drive , but I don`t think it will work.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Ian ,

If you do find a Mac user that was able to upgrade , please post , many thanks.

Later guy`s , and thanks again !

Yeah I realized I did not need it for the Tyros (or even the PC) There is a way to uninstall The remove the rest manually.

For the MAc user. Buy a NEW blank flash drive. Load the unzipped files in the root Directory (It doesn;t matter how many other folders are on the drive as long as the files are the only files in the root dir.

Eliminaye the MAC from the process. Us a PC to load the files on tje drive then follow the rest of the install instructions.

I think the MAC is putting some unrecognizable files on your flash drive...

IMPORTANT UPDATE !!

Hi Guy`s ,

My Tyros 3 is now Version 1.02 !! It is upgraded.

Here is what took place:

I picked up a new USB drive { PNY - 4 Gig "Attache" }.

Plugged it into my Mac.

Opened my browser ( Safari ) opened preference and chose the download location to be the new unnamed device.

Closed preference window and went to the download web site at Yamaha.

Downloaded the upgrade , after downloading Mac`s do there auto-unzip thing.

Opened the drive , opened the folder within the drive.

Copied the 6 files to the root of the USB drive and trashed the empty folder.

Unmounted the PNY drive and plugged it into my T-3 ( front port ) pressed and held "Start/Stop" while turning on the power.

A message came on the T-3 screen asking if I wanted to upgrade , if so push start , I pushed start !!

It began to load and took about 2 min. after I turned the power off , unplugged the USB drive and turned on my T-3 for verification that the upgrade was successful , it was.

Now to load the new voices , the Tyros is ready for them !

Thank you all for your continued help and support over the past few days , I really and truly appreciate it.

Take care , and if there are Mac users out there that need my help , just post , YOU CAN do the upgrade with a Mac!
