Just thought I'd return some feedback to the community for anyone having the same problem I had. Seems I and others have noticed that since the November update, all TiVo transfers have been failing. It appears after a few seconds, the transfer just quits! Yes, we've got the latest Toast upgrade, TiVo Transfer upgrade, latest Mac OX upgrade and of course, the TiVo service update in November.

I discovered that all we had to do was delete what pre-existing downloaded TiVo files were in our download directory. It seems the TiVo transfers app looks in this directory (obviously) before transferring and if it encounters files that were downloaded previous to the upgrade, the transfer just quits.

Anyhow, that's my fix. Just wanted to share it for the rest of you.

You're welcome to correct me on my assumptions WHY it works. But it sure does work now. I'm a happy camper now. Only reason why I bought Toast 8 in the first place.

Thanks all

I apologize for being ignorant, but could you explain exactly how we do this? I don't understand what/where a download directory is, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Your post has given me hope that this issue might finally be resolved for me!

I too have been having the same troubles in the tivo transfers. My transfers either work for a while, Several shows, and then stop or come up in waiting.


All updates ect... Running Lepord ect...


Restarting the tivo will sometimes let it work for a time, sometimes days sometimes only minutes. I moved all the tivo transfers from the download directory to another dir and it did not work..

When I ask Roxio I get a canned message on how to completely remove toast from the computer Go Figure
