Micro muvo n200 prob

i have had ny n200 about 6 weeks and everything seemed fine until about a week ago when it would just shut-off all of a sudden.
it seems to turn off when it switches from one song to the next.
sometimes it plays song and shuts down other times 5-5 before it shuts down.
any idea what is wrong?

tneffy:
Unusual problems like this on the N200 can almost always be cured by re-loading the firmware. Download the latest version from

Make sure you follow the instructions exactly on that page.

  • Muvo N200 prob

    I have a muvo n200 which for the past few days has turned itself off when ever i tried to increase up the volume. I tried to resintall the latest firmware upgrade but now my player has stopped working. When I turn on the player all i get is dots on the lcd screen with the backlight on. I tried to reinstall the firmware again and the firmware cant find the player connected to the computer, although windows explorer detects the device. Please can you help. Thanks in advance.
    Model muvo n200 GB
    Computer dell optiplex gx270
    windows 2000 service pack 4

    If it's recognised on the PC, try formatting it first and then try updating the firmware again. If you can try the player on another PC, try updating the firmware there to see if it works.
    Otherwise it would be best to contact Customer Support for assistance, the player could be faulty.

  • Micro Muvo not detected on comuter.

    Can anyone please help. I bought my Micro muvo N200 back in late October. I am a novice computer user. I had finally downloaded music onto it after tries from "musicmatch". For some reason now, I want to delete songs from my MP3 and add new one's but now my MP3 is not "detected". I've tried everything to the best of my knowledge and nothing..
    Please help.
    Albert

    Thanks for the response... well the actual mp3 works great. the problem is that my computer or music match do not detect it even after downloading the disc again. I was told to go to control panel, systems, hardware, then to usb... to see if the computer detects it, when i did that there were several usb ports... but there was a particular one where the USB symbol actually had a red "X" going through it as if to say that it's not working. I also tried to download the firmware on the creative website and the response i got was " This device not connected to the USB port" I tried to download unplugged and plugged (the mp3) Thanks for your response and hope to hear from you VERY soon. (tired of dealing with this.. very frustrating )

  • Music Balance Problem -MuVo N200 Micro

    I've had my MuVo N200 Micro (GB) for about a year now and its been fine all this time. But recently is had a problem where certain tracks will only play in the right earphone. I've change earphones, unloaded and reloaded all my music and its still the same. Some tracks are OK, but most of them play on right phone at reduced sound level. I don't think anything is physically wrong with it. Can anyone help me out here?
    Many thanks

    To put the player in recovery mode, you first need to have the driver installed on your pc. Use the link I gave to download the driver. Next you need to remove the battery from the player, and hold down the start button while connecting the player to the pc. Don't let go of the start button until the player is recognized by the pc.

  • Muvo N200, 1GB installation prob

    I made the mistake of connecting the Muvo to my computer before
    installing the software. Not a good idea. Even after installing
    the software the device manager keeps on indentifying the Muvo
    as an "Unknown device". I then tried installing it on my wife's
    computer in the proper order and the Muvo was recognized properly.
    But I want to install it on my computer. Unfortunately all my
    system restore points were overwritten by my many install attempts,
    so now I am sunk. I've got to figure out how to fix the damage
    manually. Even removing the device using the device manager,
    uninstalling the software, reinstalling in the proper order,
    and finally connecting the MP3 player doesn't work. When I plug
    in the MP3 player itstill recognizes it only as an unknwown
    device.

    It did work on other computers, so as you pointed out, it was
    clear the problem was not with the Muvo N200. I tried updating
    the BIOS and all the MotherBoard related drivers. Then I removed
    all USB stuff via the Device Manager and let XP put it all back.
    ... Plugged the muvo back in ...
    Drat. It just says "Unknown Device" and does not show another
    disk dri've.
    > and you could try creating another user account ...
    Tried that too. Same problem
    > Try using other available USB port ...
    The four main USB ports on the MBD back panel were all
    in use so I had been using one of the four USB ports on
    a PCI add-in card I installed to give me more ports.
    I tried switching to the USB ports on the front of the
    computer (which are cabled to an aux USB connector on
    the motherboard). Same deal - unknown device. (This is
    getting old).
    Finally I tried unplugging my digital camera base unit
    from on the the four main USB ports on the MBD back panel
    and I plugged my Muvo N200 into that. Instant Recognition!!!
    A new disk dri've appears, and it even knows that it is a
    Create Muvo. So then I plugged my digital camera base unit
    into the USB add-in card and it works just fine too. (It
    also shows up as a disk dri've).
    So now all is well except for my fragile understanding.
    Here I thought all USB ports were created equal (well except
    for the ver verses ver 2 thing). But clearly on my computer
    they are not. Perhaps there is someting wrong with my MBD
    or its setup that causes this.
    Anyway, thanks for all your suggestions, especially since
    I don't think I would have figured it out on my own.

  • Muvo N200 freezing & sounds prob

    I've had the Muvo N200 for three weeks now without a problem until the past three days. At first, when I'd turn it off, the screen would freeze and there would be an annoying sound that wouldn't stop. The problem would be temporarily solved when I removed and re-inserted battery or inserted a new one. The player turns on fine, but the same thing would happen again if I tried to turn it off again. But after a while, the thing would freeze and the sound would come back when I try to go to the menu or turn it off. When I turn it on, the player starts playing a random song at a random volume number.

    Did you install the new firmware?

  • Muvo N200 - What is it called

    Was going to update my MUVO N200 on the firmware, and am unable to find it. I see that Creative renamed everything (lovely), so I can't find my player on that list of drivers anymore. Anyone know what they renamed it to?
    And why do they pull this kind of stuff? Really, it just makes it more confusing for me as a consumer to figure out what I need.

    On the downloads page it may be called the MuVo Micro - it's full title is MuVo Micro N200 but that seems to get shortened to either MuVo Micro or N200 depending on which region you are in.
    It has been superceded by the Zen Nano Plus but don't use any downloads specifically for that player.

  • 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.

  • Recharge batteries with MuVo N200 Mi

    hy guys,
    i'm a new subscriber of this forum. I have a Creative MuVo N200 micro and i haven't yet understand if i can recharge my batteries connecting my MuVo to pc with usb.
    Can you reply to my question.....
    Thank you all

    BognorRocks wrote:You could always take the battery out and connect it up to the USB and see if it works.
    It does. It runs off the USB power while connected, so there's no need to worry about battery power loss.
    I've got rechargeables for my N200, 800mAh ones, though I'm not sure how long they last in one go, last me about a week listening for a few hours a day

  • Muvo N200 support playlis

    I am seriously considering purchasing a muvo n200 GB, however I would like to know if there is anyway to organize the songs e.g through playlists , or is it just one big space to dump all your songs, and you'd have to scroll through every song just to find one that you want to hear.
    thank you for reading my post, any input is greatly appreciated.

    There seems to be some confusion on this topic. Hopefully this post will help clear the matter up.
    I just bought the MuVo n200 and I really like it (256mb model). I had the same question you did about playlists. You can create playlists on your computer with the software provided but the player itself does not support playlists. The player does support the use of folders, so essentially you can accomplish the same task as a playlist by creating folders and storing them on your player. Once the folders have been stored on your player, you simply skip to the folder you want to listen to. When a folder is transferred to the player the songs in the folder will be arranged alphabetically. I have not figured a way around this but it is no big deal if you keep your folders reasonably small.
    Also I have noticed that you cannot put a folder in a folder (like you can in Windows directories). You can do this on the computer with the software provide but you cannot transfer the embedded folders. For example, if you create a folder named Rock and put several folders in that folder named Boston, REM, Dire Straits, etc and then transfer this data to your player, the player will not recognized the folder. All this means is that if you create a folder you must put songs in it, not other folders. Again, no big deal as long as you know this.
    I like this product. The only shortcoming I have seen is the documentation is lacking. This is somewhat made up for by the quick and accurate response I got from Tech Support though. They got back to me in about 5 minutes. I have pasted the response from Tech Support below.
    Thank You for being Creative Customer.
    For using the muvo micro to store playlists, I'm afraid this is not
    supported by the player. It can store folders instead.
    Thus in place of playlists, you may wish to create folders at the ROOT
    directory and store the files you want, into each folder instead.
    And to playback the songs in a particular folder, you may skip to that
    folder directly.
    I apologise for any inconveniences caused to you.
    We look forward to serving you again.
    Thank You for contacting Creative technical support.
    Last but not least, thank you for your interest and continuing support
    for Creative products. Feel free to contact us again if you require

  • Muvo N200, songs do not fully downl

    hi,
    i've had this thing for over a month and this isn't the first problem i've had with it.
    i deleted certain folders from my mp3 player and attempted to transfer new files over. but, at certain songs the transfer will freeze. i have to unplug the player and it crashes.
    plugging the player back in, i check the file that made the transfer crash. most of the song is there, but then it turns into a song that i have long deleted from the player.
    the problem persists after multiple reformats and reinstallation of firmware.
    these mp3s are not corrupt. wouldn't a reformat remove these fragments?
    i'll try to scan the player for errors.
    thanks in the meantime.

    Hello
    I am not sure if i am having the same/similar problem. I just bought a Muvo Micro GB N200 recently and seem to only be able to load about 700 mb. When i try to add more I get the "error message". If I delete some then add it levels off at 700 mb again. I tried to find out on the creative website to see if this 300 mb is reserved for something but can't seem to find out. Any help would be appreciated. As right now, I feel kind of annoyed paying for GB and only getting 700mb.
    Thanks

  • Muvo n200-not find by

    hello
    I got a big problem with my muvo N200. When I connect it through usb to pc it's not recognized.the picture which shows that player is connected to pc is not appearing. I can't upgrade the firmware and do anything with usb. I tried this on other pc's and different usb cables....where's the problem?

    Try this:?http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=23264?Read posts 3 and 4. Several N200 owners have gotten satisfaction from this, e.g.,?http://forums.creative.com/creativel...d=00348#M62247?I occasionally come back here to check on N200 failures, because Creative just won't put this in their FAQ, I guess they feel they have to see it work for themselves. Even the uber-posters won't acknowledge this fix discovered by AB84. Hope it works for you, as it has for several of us.

  • 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).
