Media Cat Chain Letter

[PogoInTheWoods]

Here are the examples for the "Where Used" and "Find Items" search results...​

And here's where you can get rid of any annoying "update" stuff that may pop up every time you open the program. Go to Settings ->System Settings -> Update Notes, Select "Manual". Then go back to Settings, then down to "Update Notes", and the Tech Notes that reside in a repository folder for occasional "updating" will be indexed for permanent availability relative the the existing version of the catalog. Clear as mud, eh?



Lastly, the Tech Notes and Service Manuals are all individually available as PDF files, but you need to sorta dig for em and they're listed by system filenames, not conventional names for their associated application. The IPL's are not PDF's and not available is individual files.

You can find all this under Users -> Public -> Public Documents -> MediaCAT Data -> Stihl -> SCS-XX.XXXX (the particular version of your catalog) -> Resources.

The PDF's don't start until about 2/3 of the way down the page. RA prefixes designate Shop Manuals, and TI designates Technical Information. Everything above is disc image stuff for compiling the IPL's in a proprietary way for integration and cross-indexing by the application itself. Same for all the BMP's at the bottom.

So, Scouts...., I hope you've found all of this helpful. I'm sure there's gonna be a few tl;dr folks out there. Oh well.

For everyone else, happy wrenchin' and parts scroungin'.​

Okay, I got the full version..took the DVD out of the computer and it showed the same as when it was in. The pages still don't look exactly like those but I think the information is there, just located a bit differently. I'll work with it awhile and see what all is in it. Thanks!

pm your email

I'm new to the forum, and just bought a Stihl 041 AV Super and would like to be able check for parts. I've quickly been realizing how hard they are to find online. I also have a MS250 my old man gave me that I believe has a compression problem.
I've been an occcasional user of saws for a long time, but have not had much idea about what I was actually doing with maintenance, tuning, how treat them properly. So far this forum has been a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for pass it on & being so generous.

How old of a version are we talking about?

As for downloadable distribution, Stihl seriously frowns on that type of activity, though there isn't any reason not to come up with some way to make it accessible on a limited "link to user only" basis. Hard copy is the most reliable and keeps the "chain" alive in the true spirit of what was originally intended..., if you care about stuff like that.

How about Drop Box? You can create a link that only people with the link can access and then give the link to people who ask for it. Doesn't have to be public. I haven't yet read to then, so if this problem has already been solved or determined to not be possible, forgive me!

Update, Up and running.
I copied the folder to my C drive.
Opened the folder and clicked on Setup.
Did the usual windows install. Then Adobe tried to install and said newer version available. Closed the Adobe installer.
Saw MediaCat icon on Desktop and clicked on it. It opened up and I did the registration thing. Then clicked on Documents Tab and it wanted to download some updates. So I let it update.
Then l searched for info on my MS361.
Success.
Works perfect.
Thanks Amp and others.

PS: I did not run as administrator.

Ready to pass on my copy of the dvd.
Sorry, no dvd burner.
Post here then pm me your address(US or Canada only please).

I'd l Iike a copy if you haven't filled your 2nd order yet. I will also look at putting the file up in a private part of a file sharing website (Drop Box) where a link can be provided to a prospective recipient and only person with that link can access it. I think the file/ folder that the file is in on the Drop Box website can even be password protected.

Thanks a lot.

I'm in Western US. Did I see correctly that you're in the UK? If so, and it would be expensive, I can get it from someone closer.

Jim,
Send me a private message (PM) by creating a new thread and give me your snail mail address and I will send you a copy. I have sent out one and as required by the original agreement with the website: I send two to new members to satisfy my commitment. I just finished rebuilding an MS 250 and traded it for two Echo's that I now have both running - got boot on top of the two saws, so I'm happy.

Awesome. I thought I was sending a PM to Peter when I wrote the message, my mistake. I'll do that.
My pops actually replaced the MS250 with an Echo with an 18" bar. Surprisingly nice saw. Easy to adjust chain and lots of power for the weight.

Jim,
As noted in the previous thread (where I received your mailing address), I am sending the DVD to you via snail mail today. This will satisfy my obligation for sending out two to replace the one I received. Enjoy the information and this forum and watch for someone looking for the DVD such that you can fill your obligation.

Jim,
The information on the DVD is a great asset if you do any repairs on a Stihl machine. Enjoy
