PS Vita Content Manager Assistant problems

[Snakenator1]

So Sony released the new update for the PS Vita and its royally screwed me over now :mad:

I use my Vita a lot as a camera for field coursework in my A level subjects, the fact I can use the USB charging cable to transfer images and videos to my laptop ready to use in my work is of a enormous benefit since I don't own a conventional camera.

But since the new update just recently, my Vita can no longer connect to my Laptop and its really infuriating. In fact I don't think my manager will run anymore as I try to open it and nothing happens anymore :?
I've tried the three suggested actions (Run manager, use the USB cable, turn off USB charging) and nothing has worked. I even un-installed the app and re-installed it and to no avail.
Anyone else got this problem or any ideas on what I can do???

Win XP is no longer supported.

You may be able to bypass things by setting up a wireless local area network. I have mine setup where I can move file via a wireless connection. If nothing else, you could email your files or use dropbox from your Vita.

You might want to try a CMA alternative like QCMA, it's a cross platform, open source CMA. It has lots of nice features such as offline mode.

Just make sure you uninstall sony's CMA and vita drivers since it uses its own ones. It should work it 3.30 but I haven't tested it since I'm still on 3.18.

Although i am running Mac OSX ML, i also got the update and it still works fine for me Snake. I am connecting over wifi though, but USB connection should be more reliable, have you tried manually removing the registry entries for content manager? (assuming you run windows), if you run mac try trashing the files in ~/user/library/application support/sony corporation/content manager assistant

Windows also has the Application Support folder (called Application Data), but i forgot where exactly, should be the same directory i suppose ;)

That just reminded me of something you haven't mentioned trying, Snake. Try uninstalling, then re-installing the drivers for the vita on your laptop, maybe it's causing issues with the updated vita OS and the CMA
