Disney Mix Stick Help
Here’s a link to a past post about the Disney Mix Stick that I wrote in the last year, with the advent of having one in our home Christmas 2005 that gave us problems, problems, problems. I’m making this new post about it due to the new influx of “Disney Mix Stick” problem searches coming…

Birding Up
I’ve seen birds on our property of late, just the last week or so, which I’ve never seen IRL before, but know about, being a “birding” person. In the front we have ‘wild’ things growing where we used to have planted things before. I then put “wild flower” seed there some years ago and we…

Christmas Day 2006
Ah, Christmas is over … well, not over, but it’s the inevitable “let-down” already, not that it’s just now started … it’s been so for awhile. What is the “Christmas Let-down”? It is: After opening presents, spirits eventually fall to a lower level. It’s different depending on the year, who’s there, what was gotten under…

We are back from our Christmas Day 2006 movie. A Night in the Museum in Imax. It was the first showing for today, and packed, and when we left the next group of people was already gathering thickly for the second showing.
The movie itself was great, and it was greater in Imax, I’d bet. We really enjoyed it. Family Fun with capital F’s. It was clean mostly, and full of laugh out loud times, and that was for Adults and Children both. I read a small review earlier and it mentioned that is the one Stiller movie that you can call “sweet” –you really can, it has that about it, it’s not gooey, it’s real sweetness, as a Dad who makes his 10 year old son proud of him, believe in him as a great Dad, Dad proves himself to his son, and to himself. That’s the basic stuffing that it’s about, but HOW that happens is what all the FUN is about.
At the end, during the credits there are two things to stay for that run first on the top left, then on the bottom right. Mr. Van Dyke is funny, funny, funny.
In the audience it was obvious that children (younger ones) thought the three old men very funny during the movie, especially Mr. Rooney, most especially him. FWIW
I can’t say more, I don’t want to give the movie away, it’s just such a miss-mash of natural history mixing away in a museum and it is something that works, for fun, it is eye popping cool, and Stiller just does what he needs to to make it all work. It’s said he’s not a good actor in this (or anything) but I disagree about this movie, he really has to pull something out of his hat to make it work, and work he does.

May you all have a very Merry Christmas! I still have to put decorations on the tree, my husband got the lights on it yesterday late afternoon. A lot of the presents are wrapped, but not all as of yet. I’d like to make some more cookies this afternoon, and hope I can. I had…

Early Christmas Present
[NEW: Picture added to post December 23, 2006] Hubby brought me a Christmas present yesterday. He couldn’t hold it over … why? It’s a Betta (fish) and a really cool glass “bowl” that is blue and shaped like a big fish with a wide open mouth at the end, which is the “top” of the…

Your betta fish looks pretty. Thadddeus is a neat name. Are bettas supposed to be alone or can you have others with him? Is he a he? That is a pretty neat present. Take care, and have a wonderful Christmas.
-
Becky, Thanks for noticing my fishy! Yes, he is a he. Betta’s usually live alone, they are “fighting” fish, and do well alone in small spaces.
Male Bettas are pretty, females don’t have the nice tail and fins like the males have. The betta I have is fancier that most bettas, being a “crowntail”.
Have a wonderful Christmas too!

Weather Dull Gray
Ah, weather. It’s not “cold” but it feels a tad chilly in the house, with the weather the way it is. Currently it’s overcast and usually raining –drippy or steady or pouring (since sometime in the middle of the night.) I’d love to have a fire in the fireplace, not a huge hot one, but…

We had a surprise snowy landscape to wake up to this morning on Dec 23 in the Puget Sound area of Washington. This evening it is still there in most grassy areas and some frozen slushy stuff on parts of roads and our porch and steps. It will probably still be there in the morning as it is freezing, but I don’t know if it will be there till the 25th. It would be neat if it did, but around here, a white Christmas is rather rare. The temps are nearing the 40s during the day but mostly hovering in the 30s, so there is a chance of it. That is a nice touch and makes it seem more like Christmas, and makes the inside more cozy.

Your “weather” conditions sound so nice for Christmas! We are staying warm here, outside. The chill has vacated and don’t know if we will even want to try a fire on Christmas morn.
Often for us it is nice and chilly or frosty for Christmas, snow on Christmas is always unlikely, it does snow in this area, usually in January or February, and if it does snow it doesn’t last long most times be it December, January, or any other month.
We get cold snaps that are deep and last three or more days, sometimes two or so days. Those are either dry, or ice storms. I’d love an ice storm for Christmas. It’s a bad thing for power lines and trees, but looks as Wintry Wonderland as one could wish for, and everything shuts down as if it was a holiday. As I said about the snow, this ususally only occurs in Jan. or Feb.
We are supposed to have rain tonight, and lows will be in the mid-40’s, so no ice overnight for Christmas. It’ll be sunny with clouds thickening today, and up to 64, so quite warm. Christmas Day they are promising some rain, at least cloudy and cooler, just looking for a high of 50. At least it’s cooler and sort of “Christmas-like” –a change from warm, warm, rain, cloudy, some sun. FWIW

At Costco this end of the year holiday season they had/have in their “toy” section the newer Leap Pad thingie called “Fly Pentop Computer” –I was aware of this product since it came on the market, but wasn’t sure about it at first, and then learned it was a Leap Pad product, and then finally…

Gardening 2007
My hubby is gung-ho to work with me to make a very large garden this (coming soon) year. Hurray! I was talking about broccoli when this subject was being spoken of between us. I said it would be good to be able to grow our own, as one bag of frozen florets wasn’t enough, and…

I have a Mac and I’m having trouble downloading songs from itune to the Mix stick.
Macs can not use the Windows Media Player that came with the mix stick. How do we make this happen? It shows all the songs on the mix stick of you open it up on the computer (ma4 or a mpeg4) – nothing plays. Help…
Use iTunes to create an audio CD of the tracks you want. You can then use Windows media player to rip the audio CD tracks to MP3
How do you get this to work for macs i can’t get anything to work? can you just drag a song in to the icon on the desktop and it be on the mix stick or no? completely lost??????
I have a mac also and tried to download music through I tunes. Some how I have downloaded my entire library! Can it be erased or written over? And how do I download selected songs only?
I just bought the Disney Mix Stick for my daughters Birthday and I am having no luck with hearing the music I think I have downloaded. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong.
You must let us know what platform of computer (Win XP, Vista, Mac, etc.) you are using with the Mix Stick ; What sort of music files (.wma, .mp3, etc.) are you using …
hey how do u get songs on to ur disney mix stick i have had it for months and still cant get songs on it i only went to WAL-MART!!!! so then i just got a chip so wat ever i just need help on trying to get songs onto it okay know so who ever knows how please leave a comment saying how to do it thnk u so much!!! wait i am only [i]##[/i] [young] years old […. ] [ edited by blog owner (commenter’s personal information) ]
If you have a Mix Stick you need to have a PC, maybe a MAC (I don’t use one, just know that some people have reported sucess using one.) You need to have the songs in .mp3 format, or .wma format.
Either use something like Windows Media Player to Sync with your Mix Stick
or just use the Mix Stick as a USB drive (find it in My Computer) and then drag and drop the songs onto it.
If you have a memory card (SD) you can do either of the above if your Mix Stick recognizes it … you can access that card on the computer in MY COMPUTER if using Windows XP, for instance.
Also if you have a Card Reader attached to your PC you can put the SD card into that and drag/drop the songs directly onto the card, then put it into the Mix Stick.
I admit that I can’t help you with the SD card, since my daughters Mix Stick won’t recognize SD cards at all. There are replies on another thread on my blog here, with more information you might like to read for additional help.
My daugher has mix stick, are you able to get songs from itunes transferred to the mix. If so could you write very detailed info on how to do this. thanks
You can drag .mp3 or .wma files directly onto the mix stick (when connected to computer usb port, by viewing the mix stick as a window) or it’s SD card as well. It won’t play any other format than .mp3 or .wma. You can also use Windows Media Player to sync music to the mix stick, but not i-tunes.
Hi. Im having problems with my Disney Mix Stick Media Player. The screen just stopped working. The screen is shaking blue and I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks. Everything else still works, even the music. What do or should I do?
Hello
I need help I got on songsto th mix stick but it wont play for some reason it did when i first bought it but n ow it doesnt any help.
SD Card Recognition
I had a really hard time getting the file open and after a lot of trial and error, realized that the card wasn’t working with the mix stick. I’ve since learned that it’s because it’s a 4 gig card and the mix stick only supports up to 1 gig. If you’re struggling to get songs on the mix stick, try removing the SD card and insert the stick by itself. Hope this helps.
