Check the Audio Sessions list to see if the audio file is there. I eventually found that if I wrote and recorded more on that particular page, it forced the pen to re-download (upload?) the page and it now had the audio attached (i.e., notes were green).</div><div><br></div><div>The other time, no audio had been transferred. I wrote to Livescribe and received instructions -- kind of tedious, but they worked. Our exchange is copied below. (In the second set of instructions, the Livescribe rep defaulted back to Windows nomenclature.)</div><div><br></div><div><div>Good luck!</div><div><br></div><div>- Shelley</div><div><br><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div><div><div><div>_____________________________</div><div>Shelley Haven ATP, RET</div><div>Assistive Technology Consultant</div><div><a href="http://www.TechPotential.net">www.TechPotential.net</a></div></div></div></div></span></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div></div><div><br></div><div>----excerpts from Livescribe emails------------</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>I can't find a solution to this issue in either the Knowledge Base or the forums, hence this letter.

(It shows 0 bytes for the audio file under Paper Replay Recordings.) However, the audio is clearly on the pen -- I can click anywhere on my paper notes and the pen plays properly and shows the correct time. Also, the pen reflects the correct amount of time remaining (that is, it indicates that I actually used 2+ hours of my remaining recording time).<br><br>Why is the audio file not downloading from the pen to my computer?
