MP3 player not recognized in OSX 10.4.x

I just bought a new mp3 player and it's not being recognized by my mac. What can I do? The specs of the mp3 player are here: http://oracom.co.kr/english/product_870.html
Is there any way to have OSX recognize the device? It says that it's good for OSX up to 10.3.5. Would that be because of the FAT/FAT32 file structure?

Does it not show on the desktop at all? Are you connecting it to USB2 on your Mac or by any chance by a USB1 socket for a mouse?
Actually searching through Google I've found a way to hook it up, and I can transfer my files. Thank you. My only issue now is that all of my songs come up with mirrored .files. I have files like "songname.mp3" and then a second one called ".songname.mp3" that show up on the mp3 player, but not in finder. Is this a result of copying my music over from the iTunes folder via finder? Is there any way to automatically have the songs copied over with iTunes similar to using an iPod? Or is that just an iPod-only feature?

Mp3 player not recognized. (Vision: M 60

Hello.
I am using Win XP MCE. I just installed all the drivers that came with the CD. I had the MP3 player unplugged as instructed, and connected it at the point it asked me to. It is plugged into a port I know works, because it is the one I used for my old MP3 player.
Anyone know how to solve this issue?

Are you getting the following error message?
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
I've been getting this message for months and nothing seems to fix the issue.
I even tried
http://mycreativefansite.googlepages.com/myzenchecker_home.html
And their program said I was running the latest version of XP, but for some reason the drivers won't recognize.

Can you download the music to any mp3 player (not an ipod)? If yes, how?

Can you download the music to any mp3 player (not an ipod)? If yes, how?

Not using itunes.
You can use the music on other music players that support the format that itunes uses.
Consult the manual for instructions on how to put music on the player.

Mp3 Player not showing?

I have a cheap mp3 player (not iPod) that is not showing anywhere when I plug it in. Prior to installing Lion, it showed up no problem (on desktop, in disk utility etc) even when using the keyboard usb port.
Any suggestions please?

It may not be compatible with Lion.
Check the manufacture website for Lion compatible updates.

2ndd gen Shuffle not recognized in OSX/iTunes after OSX/Itunes update

After updating two iMacs to 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 my 2nd gen Shuffle isn't recognized on either.
1. It still plays music so I know it's not dead
2. It stopped syncing after updating but not sure which update could be the cause.
3. I've tried rebooting the computer(s)
4. I've tried the iPod restore utility and it doesn't recognize the iPod at all.
Is there anything else I've missed?

I've had this exact issue for a couple of weeks. I finally managed to drive the hour+ to our nearest Apple store. To my great frustration they were able to have my Shuffle connect perfectly to their machine, yet it still is not recognized by my Intel Mini or my hubby's PC. It sits in the cradle and flashes yellow like it's charging, but is otherwise unrecognized by my computer. When I try the reset utility it is "aware" that my Shuffle is there, but cannot retrieve serial # data or disk spaced used...the iPod is never ready for reset.
At this point I don't know what to do...buy a new 4th gen. Shuffle in the hopes that it works? I'm not sure if the issue is with my iPod or my computer or iTunes.... I'm contemplating switching to another player entirely, even if it means having to burn all my music to CDs and reimport as Mp3s.
Adding to my frustration, I purchased my Shuffle only in April from SmallDog.com. I purchased what was SUPPOSED to be a brand new, with full warranty Shuffle. I found out today that the iPod was registered almost 2 years ago when Small Dog received it and stocked it in their warehouse, so I essentially paid full price for a shuffle sans warranty. Apparently Small Dog is not the only company that pulls this BS. A purchase may not be warrantied for a full year (or for any time) from anyone other than Apple.

Windows media player not recognized as a valid plug-in in safari?

on this PB 15 1.67/OS 10.4.3 I experienced some difficult in installing a piece of software, here's the thread....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1360929#1360929
prior to this difficulty, I had installed windows media player to access video clips embedded on news web sites etc, and everything worked fine, video usually streamed right into the media player, not saving a file to the desktop, but merely playing in a window....
to solve the software install problem above, I returned to the apple store & they suggested and helped me accomplish an archive & re-install of the OS, and afterwards, the problem software installed properly...
since the archive & re-install of OS 10.4.3, my windows media player is not recognized as a valid plug-in by safari.
when I click on a video link (embedded), a seperate window appears that describes my need to install windows media player 9 for mac (and it's already in my app's folder), when I download the file to attempt re-installing media player, stuffit doesn't seem to un zip the file after double clicking on it, no app file appears on the desktop to mount in the apps dierctory?
if the video link is not embedded, I can cntrl-click and save the file to the desktop and it will play normally, but if the file is embedded I have no means to see the news clip etc?
also, for those video files that are not embedded, instead of playing directly via streaming, when a link is clicked, the file downloads to the desktop before playing?
these aren't huge problems (well when trying to view an embedded news clip it is!) but any help in trying to return to normal behaviour would help!
thanks again,
dave
powerbook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

thanks for the link, but I wa really looking into making the win media player function as it had before I had to archive & re-load OS 10.4.3
I use the player infrequently, but it drives me crazy when I'm looking @ a news page w/an embedded video and can't merely click it's link & see the clip!
any thoughts on why I can't get the win media player sitx file to un-stuff and possibly re-install win media player to allow safari to recognize it as a valid plug-in?
thanks again....

5530 music player not recognizing new songs

hi all,
new problem for me. the nokia music player is not recognizing new music. it just files them under unknown. the files are properly tagged. the only way to get it to recognize the files is to format the sd card and put the music back on the card.
also after deleting music, the player still has the files in its unknown folder, even after updating the music library.
very frustrating as i use the phone everyday as my main music player. this problem has only turned up in the past couple of weeks, with me changing nothing else on the phone.
any advise?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, just try up this found somewhere-
You can do this to rebuild the library as it is corrupted.
Restart your device and then refresh your library. If this doesn't help then;
Connect the phone to your pc/lappy and put in 'Data transfer' mode.
To delete the library files:
- Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
Select "Show hidden files and folders"
- Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
- Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
(assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E)
Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd. Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
Now just refresh the Music Player library and the job is done.
This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.
Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.

Why is my replacement SSD not recognized by OSX?

I purchased the OSX Server, not realizing how slow the 5400 RPM hard drives are for running programs. I have a mac book air with a similar processor and SSD, and it flys! So I figured if I took one of my SSD's out of a PC that it would work. Well, I took out one of the two 1TB OSX hard drives out and replaced it with the SSD. And so far no matter what I cant get OSX to recognize it durring recovery as a drive, or have it recognized in OSX once booted using the hard drive cable that was attached to the 1TB drive and the mother board connector.
So I put the computer back together, feeling defeated, then remembered that I might be able to plug in a sata to USB 3.0 converter and voila I'm now booting off of an external SSD drive for the last few days.
My question is why wont it work using the internal connectors?

Mp3 Player not detected in Vista ,I need drivers for Creative Zen Micro in Windows Vista 32-b

Hi ,?Im trying to install my Creative Zen Micro in windows Vista , But A Compatibility Problem appear and i can't install it .Windows Show me that a new hardware is found? and what i have to do , i Install it with the CD , but The installation can't be successful and a message saying me i have to contact Creative Support for the dirvers appear and the installation can't be completed. I've tryied to contact creative suport , but they don't find solution . I've searched the drivers but they wasn't found in creative site web . If anybody Have a solution for install my zen micro or can help me , please ... I have to buy another Mp3 Player ? This have a solution ?Thanks ,i hope that you can help me. Regards

I updated my Firmware as stated by Creative Labs support team. I downloaded on my son's PC which has Window's XP Pro edition. Again, on his PC there is no problem with recognition of the device and/or player. However, when I plug my player into my PC which has Vista, the device manager has a "!" next to ZEN Micro Photo. So my PC "See's" the player. However, when you right click and then go to "Properties" it states that "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)" Then it states to "reinstall the drivers" But when I tried to install or reinstall the "Driver" using the install wizard, I get an error message... "An error occurred during the installation of the device" and " A service installation section in this INF is invalid" Then a pop bubble appears and says "Found new hardware" You may have a problem with your device. It may not be working properly" So what do I do at this point. The only way for me currently to download music is to use my son's PC. At least I have another option... I feel sorry for the rest of you. When will creative wake up and smell the Vista!!

FM Radio in MP3 Player Not Work

The FM Radio Autoscan function of my newly bought 256MB MuVo TX FM MP3 player does not seem to be functioning properly.
During the st time I performed autoscanning, the player was only able to register a few radio channels. Channels like 93.3FM and 92.4FM were missing. Hence, I tried a second time. Again, some of the channels were missing after autoscanning was completed.
I brought the MP3 player with me while I travelled on the bus and tried listening to the few channels and realised that the channels which I could receive on my player depended on the region the bus was in. At some places, all the preset channels were available for listening. At certain areas, only 2 preset channels could be heard.
After I went back home, I decided to try my luck at the autoscanning again. This time, I was not able to get ANY channels registered on my player. I have tried umpteen times but to no avail.
Are the radio and autoscan functions of my player faulty?

fischeri,
That is normal for auto-scanning. Auto scanning depend greatly on the reciption of the radio signal. If the signal is not strong enough, the auto scanning will not lock and register the station and will continue to scroll to the next strongest available signal. Can you manually lock the preset station?

Simple mp3 player not working :( action script error

Hi Everyone!
I'm wondering if anyone can help with this problem:
I am currently designing a website and creating a simple mp3 player with an on / off function but doesn't appear to be working. I am getting this error:

1083: Syntax error: end of program is unexpected.

Thanks

Hi Davies,
On line 19 don't break the line, Flash will do it for you... other aspect that I would recomend is to not put the '$' on the variables. In AS2 variables don't need to be declared as such (although it's a good policy), instead of the '$' put the 'var' word, as you already have in those variables.

MP3 player not playing as music is marked as 'Protected conte

Hi.
I am the happy owner of a Creative MuVo player. I have copied some music to the player, but not all tracks are played.
I believe its because some tracks have been marked as protected content (can be viewed by selecting properties).
All tracks have been ripped from my own (original) CD, so I should have the legal rights to copy to my MP3.
Some time ago a got a new laptop and copied my entire music library from the old one to the new one. It seems as though I only have troubles with tracks ripped on the old one.
Could someone please advise my how to remove the protection flag so I can use my MP3 player instead of ripping all my CD's again?
Thanks in advance.

allander,
The protection license might not have been transfer over to your new pc from the old one and unfortunately the protection can't be removed. Did you try transferring those audio files through Mediasource or Windows Media Player to the player as these protected files need such application for transfer.

Mp3 player not work

My son got his mp3 player for christmas and has been very pleased with it. However it is now coming up with the words ' file system error ' on the display. I have tried to format it but it is just not being recognised on my computer. When I plug it into the usb hub it says it has found a high speed usb device plugged into a non hi speed system device so it has obviously found it but then when I go into windows explorer to try and format it , I get the message please insert a disc into dri've F. I have been onto your website and looked into uninstalling the drivers and then trying to install them again, I get as far as device manager but then am not sure which usb hub relates to the player , Any ideas ?

Hi,
Are you using the Creative Formatter program? The original TX did not support formatting directly from Windows Explorer and you need to use this program. Upgrading the firmware adds this support (for FAT 6/FAT 32) but I'd take this one step at a time and get the unit working using this utility first.
