How to recover hidden video files on Zen X-Fi

Hi all,
The screen cracked on my Zen X-Fi, so nothing is visible. I think it also may somehow be out of power and not rechargable.
What I need to do is recover some of the videos I had on there, but I had them as "hidden" video files.
Is there some way to hook the X-Fi up to my computer, use it as an external disk, find the hidden files, and copy them? I can't even get it to look like an external disk in Windows Explorer.
Any ideas? I'd be grateful. Thank you.

How long do you have it plugged in to charge? Leave it plugged in for an hour to see if there is any response.
If it's completely dead then I am afraid you won't be able to transfer the files back to your computer. There are third-party vendors that offer data recovery services for a fee, you might want to do a google search for them.

  • How to recover lost video files after iOS 5 upgrade?

    I upgraded iTunes today to iOS 5, and lost all my video files from my iPod touch.  When I checked iTune on my laptop, I could still see some of the video file listed under the device name and library.  However, I see nothing on my iPOD.  when I tried to sync them back to iPod, I got nothing either.  when I tried to reload some of the video files, I could see the number of video files (movies) added up.  However, I still cannot find any of the files from my iPod touch.  it's very frustrating just to go through with all the attempts.  please help.  thanks.

    If their on your iTunes on your computer, try plugging in your iPod and dragging the files from the iTunes Library on your computer to the library on your iPod.  Hope it helps(:

  • How to recover lost video files after restoring from back up

    I recently had to restore my ipad completely one day in order to update it and I was in a rush. So I took my iPad before I could restore it from a back up. So I set up the iPad as a "new" iPad and just started using it. I bought iMovie with my iTunes account on the "new" iPad and started filming from the iPad for a school project. So I edited the footage in iMovie and had a finished project. Then I went home that night and decided to just upload my most recent back up from my old iPad. In doing so I lost ALL my footage. iMovie still has everything in the correct place and says that my project is just missing some files. Is there ANYWAY I can get this footage back? Isn't it still on the iPad somewhere? Please someone help me out!

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

  • How can I transfer videos to my ZEN VISION

    Hello, I want to know how I can transfer videos to my ZEN. If I put a DVD in my DVD-Reader and try to open it with the Windows Media Player 0, then occured an error, that says there is no codec installed, so I cant get the Videos to my Hard Disk.
    I syncronisate all my music with the WMP 0, so I want to do this also with the Videos.
    I use Windows XP with SP3.
    Could you please help me? Thank You!

    That is true you need to convert the files before you can load to player. But you will also need a dvd ripper to get onto the harddri've. I use this to rip Clone DVD+AnyDVD both have free 30 day trialshttp://www.slysoft.com/en/? & anyvideo converter free to convert to AVIhttp://www.download.com/Any-Video-Co..._4-066456.html

  • How to recover Excel lost file?

    I mistakenly deleted an Excel 2013 work file.
    Any suggestions for recovering this file?
    I would be appreciated.

    How to Recover an Excel File for Free
    Check the Recycle Bin--if you've accidentally deleted the file, it should still be there unless you've emptied the bin, and you can click on the file and
    recover it.
    Use the Auto Recovery Pane when you open Excel. Review the document recovery pane. If Excel has managed to recover your file, it will show in a separate
    pane on the left-hand side. Identify your document in the pane, then click on it and choose "Open" to open the recovered file.
    Try manually repairing the file. Click on "File" in Excel 2003 or the "Office" button in
    Excel 2007, then select "Open" and click on the arrow next to the "Open" button. Click on
    "Open and Repair" and choose from two options: click on "Repair" if you want to try to completely recover the file, or click on "Extract
    Data" if you previously tried Step 1 and it did not work.
    Search for the file manually on your computer. When performing a system search (click "Start" and select "Search" in Windows XP and
    Windows 2000, or press the "Windows" button and "F" key in Windows 7 and Vista), make sure you choose "Advanced Search Options" and then check the "System and hidden files" check box. You may be able to find your missing
    or corrupted file using this search: double-click on the file name in the search results to open it.

    how can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?

    Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
    The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert.  If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here.  Google.

  • How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?

    How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?  Each time I try, the video will not play from the external hard drive.

    Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original.  That should get the original video file exported.  Try to export one to the Desktop first and open it with Quicktime Player.  If all goes well export the rest to a folder on the EHD. How is the EHD formatted?  It should be OS X Extended (journaled).

  • Questions on how to utilize still/ Video files from 3Gs using iLife 09?

    Hi,
    Just got back from a trip where I took a bunch of stills and videos using the my 3Gs. I just downloaded them onto my Mac using iPhoto.
    1. How do get the video files from iPhoto into iMovie as it seems that iPhoto imported it all.
    2. How do I get the images that were taken with Location services turned "ON" to display the location they were taken?
    3. Will location mapping also work with iPhone video files?

    Maybe someone in the iMovie discussion forum would know some of the specifics from iPhoto to iMovie. I thought I remember seeing a way to import straight from my iMove.
    Here is the discussions link

  • How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    Your iPad 2 will see the video if:
    It's in a DCIM folder on the top level of the card (which is how most cameras do it)
    It's name is 8 characters, no more, no less (CKDI9483 for example)
    It's a format that the iPad will play
    I've made mp4's of things, folderized them right and named them 'right' and can transfer them to my iPad, so you can use a computer to make the files conform to what the iPad will see.

  • How do you transfer video files from the iPad to a separate device?

    How do I transfer video files from my iPad Air to a separate device or storage device so that I free up memory on my iPad

    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.
