Music Player continuously searching for songs and ...

I have a N97 running firmware v.21.0.045 and about a week or so ago I was forced to do the hard reset because the phone became so unstable. I left my E: drive (the mass storage) intact including all of my songs, videos and pictures I had stored.
Everything seems to be okay apart from the Music Player which everytime I use it it starts to search for songs and podcasts continuously. I can stop that and it lists all of my music and can play them but the volume control does not work, either from the telephone or the earpiece supplied.
I have tried leaving it searching for hours but nothing changes - it just keeps on searching. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this please or does it mean I have to do another reset of the telephone? It all worked before.
I have tried taking the battery out but this makes no difference.

This is the solution
ok i found the solution here by deleting the corrupted library
http://portablevideo.blogspot.com/2008/12/music-player-database-problems.html 
now one of these below is for the music and one for the photos and i didnt have a problem with the photos but did it anyways and now the player can see my music:
these are the files that need deleting in order to get rid of the corrupted library.
Storage Drives: (Mass storage E, Memory Card F)
\private\101ffca9\harvesterdbvx_x.dat
\private\10281e17\[string]mpxvx_x.db
\private\10281e17\[string]pcvx_x.db 
TIP: Connect the device in USB mass storage mode (File Transfer), to locate the private folder from the PC.
TIP: STRING and x_x will change depending on your phone. (my files had slightly different names than above on the n97
Kudos to diginoise and Google, I've used it and it works, so have many others, as I've poted this a few times

  • How do I search for songs and artists within playlists?

    In the Itunes music app on the Ipod touch there are several views (Songs, Playlists, Genius, Artists, etc.) In song view if you swipe down it reveals the search bar. However when you go to Playlist view and choose a specific playlist there is no search bar or option anywhere to search for a specific song, artist, genre etc.
    So how the heck do we search within playlists, where is the search bar or where is the option to search in a specific playlist?

    Top right hand corner of the store is the search bar. Just type it in, and it shows up.

  • I cannot get my iPhone 5s to Bluetooth pair with any device - it is continually searching for devices

    I want to pair my iPhone 5s with the Mini Boombox I was using with my iPhone 3Gs.
    Once the iPhone Bluetooth setting has been switched on the 5s just continually searches for devices and finds nothing - although the Boombox is beside it on my table (yes, and switched on).

    Hello Ken,

  • Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

    Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

    Does the device get any signal? 
    Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure.  If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
    AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

  • Searching for song in library and getting a runtime error...?

    So, right after downloading the new iTunes... I had no problems at all.
    I would go through, search for songs in the search bar for my library, and again, no problems.
    No matter what I searched for it worked... Unless I searched for a song with the letter A.
    Every other letter works no problem.
    I put the first letter in the search bar, no matter the letter, and immediately start getting results.
    ... The second I put the letter A in the search bar... it freezes for a sec, then gives me a runtime error and closes.
    I would really super appreciate any help with this. Or atleast to know I'm not the only one with this problem or similar problem(s)...

    Okay... Are they still working on this new iTunes...?
    Because now I have a new problem.
    In the library, only purchased songs are showing up. And other songs I have, like say the ones I have on my ipod now that I got from my cds, aren't showing up in the library at all.
    They're on my ipod... When you go under the ipod and go under 'On this ipod', they're all there...
    But they only show up there.
    I can't listen to em' on itunes. And I can't seem to get them over into my library...
    Is there anyway to fix this, without having to manually go through and add them all over again...
    I REALLY could use the help with this...

  • Default Nokia Music Player is not refreshing songs...

    HI,
    I'm using Nokia C5-05.... Default Nokia Music Player is not refreshing songs from Memory Card... I tried removing the memory card and inserting again... Wen I click Refresh Library, its refreshing and showing as "0 files(s) added".... I don't understand why???  Pls help me....
    Please check and update me regarding the necessary actions to be taken as soon as possible.....
    Thanks.

    hae you checked via Nokia Suite on your PC if there are any firmware updates available for your handset? if there are any, please update to the latest version offered. failing that, can try re-installing the current firmware thru Nokia Suite.
    might also pay to check the memory card via a memory card reader, to see if it is working fine or not.

  • Nokia N96 Music Player DO NOT UPDATE Song's Cover ...

    Hi,
    I use Windows Media Player added a cover picture (a.jpg) to a song (abc.mp3), then transfer this song to N96 use PCSuit Mode, 
    After the transfer completed, open the Music Player in N96 and play that song (abc.mp3), the Music Player can show the cover picture (a.jpg) normally, 
    Then, exit the Music Player.
    And again, use Windows Media Player to modify the cover picture of abc.mp3, this time, just change the cover picture to (b.jpg), then, retransfer the song (abc.mp3) to N96 in the same way.
    After the second transfer completed, reopen the Music Player and play the abc.mp3, and found that Music Player still shows the a.jpg as the cover picture, 
    In the right way, Music Player should shows the b.jpg as the cover picture, I think Music Player may have cache the song's cover picture when it plays the song.
    How to solve this problem? Where is the Music Player to cache the song's cover pictures in?
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    There is a folder called 'private' which contains settings for various phone apps and their databases, but it's best not to play in there because you could damage any number of other elements of your phone.
    If it is a bug, then check if you have already the latest software for your phone, as it may already be cured. If not, as a workaround, try deleting the track from the phone, updating the library and then retransferring the track.
    There are also other ways to deal with album art which don't have this issue with teh N96 music player (I tested them all myself):

  • Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2 never finishes searching for updates and use 100% of CPU.

    Hi everyone, I am having issues updating a clean Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2, so any help with be appreciated cause I've already tried all my cards for the past 5 days in this particular issue without success.
    All I did so far is installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Service Pack 2, open IE to update, it keeps searching for updates and never stop, after 20mn to 30mn the process svchost.exe start using 100% of my CPU.
    I already tried the following scenarios:
    1-  Install IE8, install the update KB927891 and the Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I already had this one installed). Reboot and run windows update trough IE8 and the problem did not solved.
    2- Install those 2 software "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run" and "MicrosoftFixit50777", open IE to update, it still hangs and continues eating my CPU. This is the output of "MicrosoftFixit".
    Windows Update error 0x8007000D(2014-01-06-T-06_06_34A) --> Not Fixed
    Cryptographic service components are not registered (This service is actually running successfully) --> Not Fixed
    3- I found the following script that would register some DLL, deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" and forcing windows update to solve the problem and nothing happened either.
    Link to script:

    Herein is the root cause of your issue. A topic that's been discussed in several blogs, forums, and even in the media since September regards a known issue with attempting to patch IE6 RTM via Windows Update.
    Aside from that particular issue... browsing the Internet with an unpatched instance of IE6, especially from a Windows Server system, is also asking for a world of hurt.
    Might I suggest the following:
    Download the IE8 for Windows Server 2003 installer to a thumb drive.
    Download the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Windows Server 2003 to a thumb drive.
    Reinstall Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
    Upgrade to IE8 from the thumb drive installer and apply the
    Cumulative Security Update.
    Now your machine is capable of safely browsing to Windows Update to install the rest of the updates (well, maybe, there's also all those other Security Updates from the past seven years that your machine still has vulnerabilites for -- even those seven
    years of updates are going to take a Very Long Time to scan for, download, and install).
    Why don't you have a WSUS server? -- noting, wryly, that you've posted in the *WSUS* forum.

    Last time I did an update...I lost most of my music...thousands of songs and had to reinstall them!!!!  I am scared as **** to do another update!!  I have radio shows to do and can't afford to spend the time with this.  Help anyone?

    A bit late for this advice now, but hopefully you'll know what to do next time.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast.  If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used.  The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID .  Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network.  A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default.  Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in.  HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you.  You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files.  Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

  • My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?  Read more: My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list

    My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?

    Yes, that kind of tallies with my experience ... after 3 days of useless iPhone 3G (BTW, killing 3G on the phone and relying on acquiring AT&T 2G didn't help, it still locked onto T-Mobile with the result that it was draining battery and rebooting frequently!), I ended up visiting the local Apple Store.
    Although the visit was not to resolve the iPhone problem, whilst there I happened to cycle the phone and due to the store having a local AT&T cell, the strength of the local signal meant that I finally re-acquired a AT&T 3G signal ... once locked on again the phone was fine for the next day.
    Nett outcome of this is that I would prefer to lay most of the blame for this debacle on the poor state of 3G support both by AT&T (and US carriers in general), maybe exacerbated in my case by two related events (the local DNC in Denver, which saturated local AT&T cells including 3G and a proliferation of v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 firmwares on iPhones in town, which dragged cell coverage into the weeds).
    It would be nice for future sanity if AT&T and T-Mobile could at least resolve the ability to acquire/release the iPhone gracefully, otherwise I'll be very sceptical of travelling back to the US with only my iPhone, as a self-employeed consultant I can't afford to be out of touch for three days again!
