Help! My MP3 player Died and I'm trying to recover my song

Hi Guys, I don't know if you'll be able to help me but I thought it was worth a shot.
I had a pretty ancient MP3 player (The creative Nomad Jukebox Zen USB 2.0). It basically stopped working (it wouldn't switch on or charge). However it had all my songs on it which i'm trying to gett off the hard drive and put onto my computer.
I've taken out the hard drive and I've put it in a little hard drive case that i bought off Ebay which i connected to my PC via USB. It seems to be recognising it as a USB mass storage device but when i go into My computer there is no additional drive. Below are the details of what I am using

Any help is much appreciated

your best option would be to find a replacement player, and swap the hardri'ves.
One of the things i've seen countless times on here and other forums are people desparatly trying to find a way to rescue their music as they only have it stored on thier mp3 player/portable device.
With hard dri'ves being relativly cheap, as well as other storage methods it seem odd that people rely on portable devices as their only storage for their digital files.
It doesnt matter how well you may 'look after' yourt mp3 player, at the end of the day ts a portable devices, and will be subjected to some knocks and bumps along the way as well as a multitude of other risks ( ie accidentaly dropping it down the toilet, spilling beer in/on it and so on)
All of my Music is backed up on my P.Cs main hard dri've, and everything on my P.Cs hard dri've ( including the music) is all backed up onto an external USB hard dri've that is stored in another location to my P., also i have another back up on DVD RW of my music files.
Hard disks are cheap, as are adaptors/caddys to plug them into a USB socket, DVD RW media is cheap, your data files are irreplacebale, make sure that you have a back up[ of your stuff.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer

  • Can I transfer music from an iPod to a computer? I lost music on my computer, and I'm trying to recover what is on my iPod.

    I have a 60 GB iPod that has over 2000 songs on it. Somehow I lost a number of songs on my iMac. I am trying to recover the songs from my iPod and reload them in my itunes library. The Library now has 1600 songs so I'm down by at least 400 songs. Does anyone know how to move the song from an iPod to an IMac running OS X 10.9.2 Maverick?

    The songs on the iPod will not copy over to the new/different iTunes library.  The sync process is only one way and that is from iTunes to the iPod.  The only exception to this are iTunes purchases which can be transferred from the iPod to iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases with the iPod plugged in and appearing in iTunes.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • My iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

    You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
    To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
    Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    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?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?

  • IRiver mp3 player H10 and H320 x Creative Micro Ph

    Hi!
    What is the best mp3 player?
    ) Anybody knows if the sound quality of Iri'ver is better than the Ipod?s and Creative?s?
    2) I read in a forum that is possible to upgrade the H320 by a firmware and watch movies in it...is it true?!If it is what kind of movie formats would be compatible?
    3) I also read that the FM turner is better than the Creative?s...is it true?
    4) The micro photo mp3 player is best than the ipod nano 4gb? (have the same price)
    Thanks!Message Edited by Netto8 on -7-2005 07:29 AM

    There is no best mp3 player, it all depends on what you need.
    ) Can't really say about the iRi'ver's or Creative's sound quality. There's hardly any difference. I just did a test with the same music and no EQ setting, and I didn't find any difference. Sound quality mainly depends on your headphones/earphones, then the bitrate, and the usage of the EQ. iPod does not have a customizable EQ. iRi'ver H320 has SRS and Wow effect but those settings drain your battery life like crazy.
    2) It is true, but it takes awhile to learn. Took my brother about 30 minutes to figure everything out. Check out www.misticri'ver.net for more information.
    3) FM Tuner depends on your headphones since that is your reception. I don't see much difference between my brother's H320 and my Zen Micro.
    4) What the ZMP has over the iPod Nano is the 8GB hard dri've space. OLED screen. But it isn't able to play music and photos at the same time. The iPod Nano has a 4GB flash dri've which doesn't have any moving parts, that means it can be shaken, bumped, take it with you during exercising, and the flash dri've won't get damaged easily. The ZMP has a mini hard dri've which has moving parts, the ZMP is not made to be used for running especially.
    Here's something you should know about the iRi'ver H320.
    -It is discontinued. I don't know if another version will come out. The H320 was supposely the successor of the iHP 20.
    -The h0 cannot do what the H320 can. Not even the 20GB version. A lot of people on the misticri'ver forums would say it's just a dumb down version of the H320.
    -In order to get the H320 to view movies. You have to flash the firmware to the international one. You don't have to do this if you buy an international H320. You will lose DRM management or pretty much you can't used any MTP or playsforsure services if you flash your U.S H320 to the international one. You cannot get this service back even if you managed to flash the U.S one back.
    -It can only read Xvid encoded movies. They have to encoded a certain way at a certain bitrate. Reading the mistic ri'ver forums will help you out more on this since people have made programs that does everything for you automatically. The file size is usually small, a 20-30 minute video is around 60-80MB, possibly less. The movie may skip or lose it's sync with the audio, check the forums for more information. The H320 wasn't made to play movies in the first place. Also the average battery life for playing movies is around 4 hours which is similar to most PMPs out there. A guy managed to get 6 hours by playing the same movie in a loop.
    -It beats any mp3 player I know in features. It can be used as a removable dri've. Has Line Out and Line In jack. Optional remote control. Built in Mic that records the format in .MP3 while Creative usually has it at .WAV. Supports Ogg Vorbis. And the international H320 (not the firmware) is able to support USB to Go and is able to power on the device. The U.S H320 can't power on the device, but it can still read some devices.
    -You cannot play music and view pictures at the same time. I tried it, it won't let me.Message Edited by Shinryuu on -7-2005 0:44 AMMessage Edited by Shinryuu on -7-2005 0:45 AM

  • Is there a way to transfer songs from a Sony 16GB MP3 player to an iPod Classic? Tried dragging the songs to iTunes,only accepted 1400 of the songs. MP3 player was full.  I also had compiled the songs in a specific order and iTunes changed order.

    The songs from the Sony MP3 player need to be imported into your iTunes library first before they can be synced or added to your iPod Classic. 
    Regarding the songs that didn't import into iTunes, what format are they in and what seems to be different from them compared with the tracks that did import?
