GRRR - MuVo won't play songs after it's removed from USB P

:robotmad:Just bought a Nomad MuVo for a X-mas gift for my daughter, and I can't get the songs to play after I've removed the player from the USB Port. WMA songs seem to download to player OK, as I can play them from the MuVo through the jukebox software that was included with the MuVo. However, as soon as I take it out of the computer and turn it on, the light quickly goes from green to red as if there are no files there. Windows Explorer shows that they ARE. I always use the "safely remove hardware" function. I've tried to solve this by:
Reformatting the player</LI>
Removing the "settings.dat" file from the player</LI>
Downloading/installing latest firmware</LI>
Downloading/installing latest driver</LI>
None of the above has changed anything.
If it matters, the WMA files I'm trying to download were purchased from WalMart online.
<PLEASE HELP!

Jason - I could kiss you!!! The Windows Media software worked!!!!
Call yourself Santa because the only thing my daughter wanted for X-mas was an MP3 player and gift cards for music to download online. The MuVo was the 2nd player I bought -first one was an unnamed cool-looking (but so far entirely useless and supportless) one from EBay. I've been wasting endless hours since November trying to get one or the other to work with downloaded DRM-protected WMA files. I don't know what I would've done without you!!!
However, I'm irritated that the Creative website inferred that if I downloaded the latest software/firmware, it would allow me to use DRM songs with their software. I would think that a ton of people are going to have this issue, and the Creative info tells you that you have to use the enclosed software. This issue should really be prominently posted in the troubleshooting section.

ITunes won't play songs after update

I updated to 11.1.4 today. I had to restart Apple Mobile Devices and Bonjour to get my pc to see my iPhone and my Time Capsule respectively. However, if I open iTunes and click on a song to play, it stays stuck at 0:00 and won't play. If I move the slide bar to jump in the middle of a song, it stays stuck where I moved it to without playing. Any ideas?

It may pay to tear down and reinstall iTunes in the following manner...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Macbook Pro won't turn on after trying to boot from USB

Hi guys,
My MBP wasn't getting past the grey logon screen with the Apple logo and the spinning loading gif.
I used Liondisk Maker to boot my copy OSX from a USB and his option when i turned it on again, which eventually loaded to the optional disks, so I clicked on the USB, after a minute or so nothing had happened and my screen just went blank, and the computer turned off.
Now it won't even turn on. It is plugged into the AC aswell.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

It is now turning on but none of the commands for any boot menus will work?

There is 3 of the same app on my dock that won't go away after trying to remove from dock, close app and even delete the app. I can't restart my mac either because it says that the app won't close. Please help!

The application by the way is a game called Max Payne 3 which I downloaded from Steam by the way.

Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time.
Wait.
When Force Quit window appears, select the application if not already.
Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.
Wait.
Application will quit.
If this does not help, press the power button for 7 or more seconds.
Computer will shut down.
Restart.

Imac won't play songs from my iPhone after I have authorised the computer

Imac won't play songs from my iPhone after I have authorised it

My solution was restoring my iPhone. Techs at Apple couldn't figure out why so I had to do a restore and worked after that. I know it's a pain and you have to reinstall all you stuff, but it worked for me. Hope this helps.

Video clips won't play back after capture

I am a long-time user of Premiere Elements, currently using version 9.0. I am capturing video clips from the same videocamera that I've used in previous versions of PE. My video clips won't play back after I capture them. The clip is in my "media" area, but when I try to play it back, the audio plays but the picture remains frozen on the starting image. What is happening?

It is a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28, mini DV, using a firewire connection.
Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. As far as how fast my processor is, I looked on my invoice and it says, "Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
I defragmented my hard drive before beginning and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space on hard drive.
I have not placed my video clips on the timeline yet so don't know if there is a red line on top, indicating it hasn't been rendered. I merely wanted to play back my clip to set "in" and "out" points. This has never happened before in my long history of using Premiere Elements. Would prefer not to have to go back to PE 8, as that was a disaster.

ITunes 7.7.1 won't play songs anymore.

Hi, I recently upgraded to iTunes version 7.7.1, and since the upgrade, iTunes
won't play songs anymore. If I select on a song in my library, the diamond stays
at the 0:00 mark. I have tried re-installing iTunes, with no luck. I am running
the software on a Mac Book Pro with the latest version of OS X (10.5.4).
thank you.

Just start with a standard procedure: Run Disk Utility and fix permissions/repair disk

I get "computer is not authorized to play songs" after I have authorized it

I get "computer is not authorized to play songs" after I have authorized it many times and every time I try to play one I get the same authorization window. All of the songs were bought a while ago under my old aol email which I have now updated to a new yahoo one. I have repaired disk permissions, authorized over and over as well as reinstalled itunes 7. The songs remain locked and I am not able to even burn a cd. I cant seem to find out a way to unlock those songs to play...Help

My hunch is that you accidentally have two accounts and they both must be authorized on your computer. Fire up iTunes. Go to the Store menu and "Sign Out." Try to play one of the problem songs. A popup window with the account name will appear, asking you to authorize that account.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Are any fo the unsyning songs DRM protected?
What is the detail format of the non-syncing songs?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

After Yosemite update, iTunes recognizes but won't play songs

Hey guys,
I updated to Yosemite today. Things are still groggy but generally good...except for iTunes 12.0.1.26
The library loads and can find my songs but they won't play. I've tried several different methods to play tracks but nothing appears to happening. It goes into a play state at 0:00 in the song but won't advance.
I don't see mention so far of other users struggling, but I hope you can help.
iMac 24-inch Early 2009 model.

I called Apple Care. The tech said the problem was not common and the symptoms seemed to require a PRAM reset. So that's what we did.
To do the PRAM Rest, on reboot, hold:
⌘ + ⌥ + P + R
The computer will do its startup chime twice...like its rebooting each time. After that, it took a little extra time to reboot and then worked smoothly.
I did still have a few weird anomalies...
1 - Airplay in iTunes defaulted on...I had to turn it back off
2 - Airplay was selected as the default in System Settings too...
I had to turn off Airplay in iTunes and select Headphone out in System Settings > Sound but now everything seems to be in order.

Often songs won't play again after pausing.

I have a black, 30GB video iPod I got back in October just a little bit after it came out. Up until about a little over a month ago, I had no problems with it. But lately, after I pause a song and turn off the iPod, and when I try to play it again, the song won't play! The "play" icon appears, but there is no progress. I can use all of the other functions, so it doesn't freeze, but the only way to fix it is to restart it, which I am doing most of the time now. According to other posts I've read, a lot of other people have had this problem. Does anybody have any information about this? Any way to fix it? Or does it need to be replaced? Any help at all would be appreciated!

I am having the same problem. What seems to happen randomly, then I wake my iPod it sometimes does not play. I have the time in the title and it reads 12:00AM when the problem occurs. If I return to the main menu and then enter a different playlist the list is empty! Almost as if the iPod is not reading the HD or something. This can happen a dozen times a day or not at all. They only way to get things working again is to reset the iPod. I tried resorting the iPod but the problem continued.
I made a visit to my local Apple Store and got my iPod replaced. I loaded all my content back (which includes music and video from all sources). To my dismay the problem continues. It is my conclusion that is not the iPod hardware (as I first thought). I am now thinking it may be some of the media on the iPod. When I get time I am going to restore the iPod and load it with only a few songs and no video (my music library is over 3,000 songs).
Try putting the time in the title and see if it reads 12:00AM when the problem occurs.
Although the iPod plays great (when it plays!) having to reset the iPod so often is annoying.

IPod Won't Play Songs, Videos Reset it, and it's Quite Sluggish

I have a 30GB video iPod (the old version). Everything was working fine until a few days ago, when the power on my iPod ran out because I fell asleep while listening to it. The next day when I turned it on, it said "Connect to your Computer, Use iTunes to restore" So I promptly did that, and it worked fine until I tried to play a video on it. It showed a blank screen, so I reset it by pressing the Menu and Center buttons. Then it showed the "Connect to your computer" screen again. So I restored it, and it would be fine until it locked up again and showed the "Connect to your computer screen" again. I left it alone for about eight hours, and when I tried turning it back on again, it was back to normal.I've seen that screen probably 10 times in the past 4 days, and I've restored it, just as many times.
Here's the list of problems I'm having:
- the iPod won't play some songs when I click on them. It will show the Playing triangle in the upper left corner, but I hear no sound and the seeking bar doesn't move. I'll often have to click the Pause button, then hit it again to Play it, and then it will play the song.
- The iPod is extremely slow. When dealing with songs or videos, it often takes a minute or more for the iPod to respond to my button clicks. Its hard drive isn't full, though; in fact I'm only using about 2 GB.
- Videos lock up the iPod. Just about any time I want to play I video on it, it will show a blank screen and won't respond. Then I have to reset it and I get the "Connect to your computer" screen again. These aren't videos in the wrong format or anything, these are the same videos I've been playing on my iPod before with no problems, until recently.
- Battery life is horrible. Although it hasn't been fully drained yet, judging from the power meter and how long I've been using it after it's fully charged, I'd guess it would only last about 2-3 hours. I would think it should last considerably longer, as the iPod is only about 3 months old.
Has anybody been experiencing similar problems, or know what I can do to fix it?

I've still had the same problems, but now when I try and turn on my ipod, it tells me to restore. When I do go to restore, itunes says that it cannot find the file needed to restore my ipod. The ipod itself also tried resetting itself, I guess, made it to the menu that asked what language I wanted it in, and then restarted again. This went on for an hour and a half, and I could't do anything. Is my ipod a lost cause?

Upgraded to 8.02, many songs in library won't play: "Song could not be used

A few days ago, I took the 8.02.20 update to iTUNES on my PC with Windows XP, I have latest service pack, yada yada.
After the iTunes upgrade, I noticed that many of my songs in my itunes library won't play when I click on them.
I get the icon of the exclamation point in a circle to the left of the song name, and the message says:
"song XXX could not be used because the original file could not be found." Would you like to locate it?"
I never moved any of my songs, and the songs that it says could not be found ARE indeed on my computer, and I can use the Windows file explorer to find the song and play it.
Back to iTunes, I decide to answer yes to the error, and "find the song" by manually meandering over to the song through the file browser window which iTunes pops up, I get to the file, and it then plays in iTunes.
My question is, how did iTunes "forget" where the songs are, and why did it forget most of them, but yet leave many others ok. I never moved nay files or anything.
Is there a way to make it recompile the library?

Probably not every one, but you will have to do it several times. Right click on the name of the song, show in window's explorer and when it can't it should give you a dialogue to find the song.
Once it finds one it'll offer to find more and you can locate stuff that way.

IPod won't play songs that were lost on my PC from drive crash

In January my hard drive crashed (Win2000) and I lost all the music on my PC. NO big deal, replaced the hard drive and restored my CD's, figured I could just play my purchased music from my iPod.
the problem is that SOME (not all) of my purchased music now won't play on my iPod even though the songs are physically there ... this started after iTunes 6 came out ... but different songs seem to play on different dates ... it is very weird. Today I sorted by "date added" and discovered that anything purchased between 6/22/05 (my birthday, coincidentally or not?) and 12/31/05 will not play on the iPod ... UNLESS I had copied the song to a CD and restored to my hard drive from the CD.
Songs that I have purchased since replacing the hard drive worked for a while, then wouldnt' work, but I could delete the song from my iPod and re-copy from my PC. Obviously this won't work for all the music that I lost though!
Music from this account is authorized for 4 devices so that isn't the problem, any suggestions?
Thanks!

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

Not sure what you mean by "devices". It's computers that are authorized for purchased music not iPods/
