  • Help, creative muvo N200 turns off automatica

    hi users,
    i've just bought the n200 last 2 days. the first problem is given. the player turns off himself, i change the best batteries (4 times), no function. i can't use it more than 5 minutes.
    please help me.

    As SSR mentions, you could try the firmware update first to see if that improves things (the update on the site is the N200 Audible Firmware Upgrade .2.0). If that doesn't help, it would be best to speak to Customer Support directly:

  • I really need help with my creative MuVo N200 mp3 pla

    i got my MuVo N200 mp3 player for chirtmas of last year, and it stopped working in 3 months. it used to shut off every few minutes and the mic doesnt work any more and i cant record music from the radio. right now it doesnt even work for a minute, it shuts off as soon as i try and turn it on. i emailed creative when it first started happening and they sent me a email saying what to do on there website, something about downloading something. i tryed it and it didnt work, im not sure if i didnt do it right. And right now i have no idea what to do. and creative won't help me unless i pay them money to fix it for me which im not about to do. has anyone have the same problem with the MuVo N200 mp3 player? what am i suppose to do to fix it's I still have there email telling me what to do, but i just dont get how to do it and if it will work. It only worked for me 3 months, and now im mad and thinking about buying a new one thats not from creative but i really want to try fixing it again to see if it will work. please help me.

    Good question, unfortunately I have absolutely no idea. Reflashing/-formatting generally takes care of the usual cases of wonkyness this player develops, and there isn't anything more drastic you as a user could do.
    Do you have a directory named "Recorded Tracks" on your player? Should be created automatically, but if it isn't you could try creating it manually...

  • PLEASE HELP MUVO N200 ERROR EVERY TIME I TRY AND DOWNLOAD A SONG

    hi every time i try and download a song it says error. i put it into recovery mode and it fixes it but i have to unload all the songs off and then start again but the same thing happens again and sometimes i don't even know if my player goes into recovery mode because my computer doesn't detect it. is there anything i can do about the error every time i try an ddownload a song? please help i am relly frustrated!!

    "Download" as in from LimeWire or some such program? Or loading your player with songs.
    If it's from LimeWire, the song file is probably corrupted.
    If it's loading your player with songs, either you haven't installed the player's corresponding driver correctly, or something's happened to corrupt your firmware.
    Try downloading the firmware from Creative and re-loading it onto your player. Very easy to do.
    If that doesn't fix anything, try uninstalling and then re-installing the Creative MuVo N200 driver onto your computer. Get somebody that <EM>really</EM> knows what they're doing to help you.

  • MuVo N200 - help me, its de

    I have a MuVo N200 player (28) and I used it for 6 months with no problem. Then my PC was formatted and before I reinstalled the software, I connected the player. After that it stopped working and when I connect it to the USB port, it just shows some display that it is connected.
    Net I tried re-installing the software, but strangely the driver is not getting installed and now the device is also not gettign detected on the PC.
    Even tried Device Manager but it shows no driver installed. I downloaded the following drivers from the internet but nothing happens as the player is not getting detected:
    MuVoN200_PCFW_LF__20_04.exe
    MuVoN200_PCFW_L4__5_0.exe
    MuVoN200_PCFW_LB___0.exe
    What do I do? Pls help!

    Please download the recovery mode driver and install it first:
    http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=23&Product=0&dlcentric= 7954&Product_Name=MuVo+Micro+N200&OSName=Windows+X P
    Now, remove the battery from your player. With the battery removed, hold down the Play button and connect the USB cable. Wait for Windows XP to detect your unit. It will take longer then usual, and the device will most likely have a STMP or STAC name right now. Let go of the Play button.
    Install the firmware update:
    http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=23&Product=0737&dlcentr ic=947&Product_Name=MuVo+Micro+N200&OSName=Windows +XP
    Be sure to tick "Format Data Area". Due to flash memory corruption, your music was already lost before you started. It is likely that you will receive a warning that the flash memory is not initialised. Accept it and continue.
    Once this process completes (the Close button will become acti've), you still need to format your MuVo dri've in FAT32.
    If you receive any error messages, be sure to write them down.
    If this procedure does not make the N200 usable, you will need to contact customer support and ask for an RMA. Feel free to describe that you have tried a firmware upgrade in recovery mode. They will want to know what error messages you received in this process.
    Note that the RMA procedure only applies if the unit is less then 2 months old.

    I have only heard of one person in here who managed to get an earlier firmware back on once they had gone to .5.0 or beyond. They put on .0.02 - get the link to it from this excellent post by dingens.
    I have tried to go to .2.0 and couldn't get it to work - haven't tried .0.02 yet - I'm not feeling brave enough!

    My MuVo is not working properly, what can I do?
    The first thing to try with a misbehaving MuVo is to update the firmware. Get the latest version from Nomadworld.com downloads and make sure to follow the instructions exactly that are accessed from <EM>show details </EM>at the download page.

    Install the drivers on the CD that came with your player.
    Connect the player in Recovery Mode by pressing and holding the Play button while you connect it to your PC. The New Hardware Wizard should start - follow its instructions.
    Then try to load the firmware again.
    En Francais:
    Installez les conducteurs sur le CD qui est venu avec votre joueur. Reliez le joueur en mode de r?tablissement en appuyant sur et en tenant le bouton de Play tandis que vous le reliez ? votre PC.

    AB84 discovered a trick that he shared in this thread. It's for really sick N200s, and I wish it could be stickied, because some N200s won't accept firmware using Creative's instructions. Essentially, his two tricks are to
    ) reinstall the driver, which PB has stated above, and which can be done by just double-clicking, as that will result in a dialogue where it tells you it already has that driver, and asks if you want to overwrite it--you want to overwrite it, and
    2) Instead of waiting for a "find new hardware" dialog box, he double-clicked to open the new firmware file. This resulted in a search for the player and two popup dialogue boxes, one that said something like "Media not initialized", to which you acknowledge by hitting the OK button, and a second that asks to upgrade your firmware. MAKE SURE TO SELECT THE BOX THAT SAYS "FORMAT DATA AREA", then OK.
    Sorry, my two years of French were too long ago to be useful now.

  • MuVo N200 Screen Too Small To Re

    Hi,
    I just bought the MuVo N200 (52MB using Win XPHome) and trying to figure it out. Now that I got the software up (w latest the firmware installed), I'm challenged by the tiny screen area.
    Dunno if I'll rue this purchase therefore!
    Getting out by sunlight or holding it under a bright light helps (The backlight goes off before I've begun to make things out). A magnifying glass helps a bit too.
    How have others of you managed with this (I can't be the only one!)
    Thanks
    Chet

    I would like a larger display, although that would probably mean that player needs to be larger. That would be okay though, since I also want the player to use a AA battery and have an AM and FM tuner. Having models with 52 meg, gig, and 2 gigs to start(with higher capacity models coming later as flash memory prices drop). I would also like to see a deluxe model with a much higher quality mic(so students can adequately record lectures given in large lecture halls, or businessmen could record meetings) and a high quality line in(then the mic and line in could be omitted on the standard model).

  • Muvo N200 FM Radio - no stereo so

    I have a Muvo N200 52GB with latest firmware (.2.0).
    The only problem I have with it is that the FM Radio sound output is mono even if the display indicates stereo reception.
    I can achieve stereo sound if I pull out the headphone jack a little way but the connection is not secure if I do this and I don't have to do this to listen to WMA/MP3 music.
    This could be down to firmware but I have only seen one other post with this problem.
    I will try to reflash just in case but would appreciate any other suggestions.
    In my opinion, even if FM reception is mono, sound output should still be directed to both right and left channels and not just one (left channel in my case).

    Obviously the player is faulty as even if it's in mono you will get output from both channel. You can try reinstalling the firmware on the player and see if that helps just in case. If not, you should return to creative and get it repair.

  • Muvo N200 switching o

    Hi, My Muvo n200 switches off when I scroll through my music folders. I have had the player for 3 days and it was ok at first.
    Now when I switch it on, go to skip folder and scroll through the folders it just switches its self off.
    It is not the battery. Also some times I switch on and light comes on , I get the CREATIVE logo followed by muvo n200 logo then it switches off .
    Is there a fix for this problem or do I have a dud ?
    I can scroll through the options menu ok.
    Thank you for any help.
    Mike

    Mike,
    Try formatting it and loading the new firmware onto it. If it's still the same, you should contact Customer Support as there could be a problem with your player.

  • MuVo N200 and Mac

    Hi, hopefully someone can help me?!
    I've recently got a MuVo N200. I'm having a bit of trouble adding songs to it though, and am wondering whether it's because I have a Mac instead of a PC. It does seem to work with iTunes, as I have managed to add some songs, but for some reason, it won't let me fill the memory. It gets so far, and then won't add anymore. It tells me 'there is not enough room on media module "built-in" to copy all of the requested files', and refuses to add anymore, yet the display shows that the memory is nowhere near full.
    It was suggested to me that perhaps certain files were corrupt, as some songs could be added, while others not. However, after deleting all tracks and trying again (on several different occasions), songs which hadn't previously worked, did, while others which had, didn't. All very confusing.
    If anybody knows of what I'm talking about, and might be able to tell me what the problem could be I'd be really grateful.
    Thanks.

    I am not a Mac user, but I had a similar problem when I first started transferring files to my MuVo N200. I was only able to store up to around 450 MB to 460 MB of music files out of 52 MB. When I used the customized "Explorer" program that Creative offers for Windows, the problem was resolved. Does the MuVo N200 include any Mac software? Anyways, hope someone can help you get around this.
