Muvo n200 1gb probl

I have a new, less than two week old, Muvo 200n gb player that just started giving me problems today.
I was running with it this morning and it just died halfway through my run. I assumed that the battery had run out so I put a new one in when I got home. That wasn't the problem as it powers up and then shuts down after about 3 seconds.
So far I have tried reformatting it- which didn't work.
I put one folder's worth of music back on and it still shuts down as soon as it powers up. The funny thing is that if I hook it up to my computer I can access those music files and play them back. If try to play the music through my player it just goes right to it's auto shut-down mode and doesn't even give me the chance to access any other parts of the player- like the radio.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem with my player. It started the second day I had it. I seem to be able to get it working by reinstalling the firmware each time. When it stops working it will turn on temporarily and then shut down. I can access it as a removable dri've but it will not run under it's own power. After I reinstall the firmware it runs for a few hours and then the problem starts all over again. This is a serious problem for me as I intend to use this on a three week vacation traveling without a computer to reinstall the firmware each day. I had hoped there would be a solution on Creative's website but all I've seen mentioned about this problem is in these forums with no reply from Creative. Come on Creative..what's the deal?

MuVo N200 1gb turns off....

I recently bought a Muvo N200 gb and when I try changing folder it turns off.....
When I want do skip folder, i click on the scroll, i select from the menu " Skip Folder" and then I confirm the folder clicking on the scroll again, and then it turns off!!!!
I have already tried to format, but the problem is still there...
excuse for my not perfect english, i'm italian!

Oh, i have the same problem, my MuVo turns off. :angry: Now I'm really happy to hear that i can solve it! But there is another problem. A week ago I've had already brought it back to the store, in order it would be checked. And i'm still waitining for an answer what is really happened to my muvo. What should i do now? They (technical support) will be looking for the problem inside of my player, when i could solve this problem simply with the installing of ware. Help me! Schould i call them? Or the repair service should know about this ware and installs it without me?

Muvo n200 recognize probl

i have muvo n200 256mb. i try it on friends comp, it wasnt recognized first,but in other usb port worked fine...
when i came home my computer didnt recognized it.. in every usb port.. it says
`one of the USB devices attached on copmuter has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it `
i even try on 3 computers with win xp and got same message and when try to open recovery mode again same message.
there is no problem with listening music
firmware is .6.02,

Try this:
Disconnect the player and then open Device Manager.
Select View Devices by Connection and Show Hidden Devices.
Under your USB connection find all entries for your player including ones for Player Recovery Device and remove them all.
Close Device Manager, restart PC?and then connect your player.
Try this and let us know what happens.

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 BIG PROBL

Hello, I have this mp3 player almost 2 years, i had some problems wih him in the past, but none of them was so big as this. I was trying to reload newest firmware .20.04, everything seems to work properly, i did it step by step as they adviced on Creative pages, but after finishing reloading the firmware, i shut down?updating application and since then does the mp3 player no response. I can't turn it on, Pc don?t recognize him. So if anyone knows what to do (beyond throwing it into the basket), i?ll be very glad for any advice. Thanks a lot. Del

MuVo N200 1GB - he

Hi?Before I send it back I just wanted to check if I've managed to break my MuVo! OK, I have only ever recorded tracks directly from my CDs to my MP3 using the line in. All's been fine until today when I've been listening to my MP3 pretty much constantly all day. Battery?got v.low and it started to whine and make 'tinking' noises in the background. Changed batteries and all seemed fine - but then it started again and won't stop! Display also keeps flicking from one time to another when playing a track and, when I switch it off the display fragments. However, radio is working fine except, again, when I switch it off the display fragments. Has some kind of unrepairable fault occured? Is it possible to 'overheat' these things and it just needs a bit of a rest... !

I'd like to do that, but the only thing I'm capable of finding is a download in .exe format, and that won't work with the OSX on my Mac.
Perhaps I should go bother a friend with a pc to get him to download the fw-update. It disappoints me, though, that the support for the Macintosh platform is so poor.
Anyone who knows if a player will work if formatted in, say, 'Mac OS Journaled'?

The second problem is just started the day before yesterday. The sound (not because of the headphone) was not right. It sound metalic and have heavy metal econ. However it only happen when I start up it for the first time in a day. After that it will be fine. I really don't know why. Should I recovery the whole system? Or I have to download something to replace it's
Thank you very much.

Tried reloading/updating the firmware?

MuVo N200 File Transfer Probl

So, I just got a new MuVo N200. After installing the MuVo Drivers, I tried to drag and drop .mp3 files to the dri've in Windows Explorer. After a couple of files transfer, the transfer hangs, and then a windows error pops up from the system tray saying that a USB device has become unresponsi've/unrecognizable, and click here to troubleshoot (which is of course worthless). The MuVo is now locked up at this point, and removing the battery is the only way to get it out of 'USB mode'. I have tried wiping everything Creative from my computer and reinstalling the software (short of running regedit and deleting all creative regkeys), I have flashed to the newest firmware .2.0, both with and without the 'Format Data Area' option, I have also formatted the MuVo as FAT32 through windows explorer, however this problem still persists. I'm going to finally upgrade my computer to WinXP SP2 (only have SP now), but I don't think this will solve my problem, as it seems to be the MuVo that is at fault (all my other USB devices, including other mp3 players work fine). Does anyone have any ideas as to other fixes I might try, or am I looking at an RMA?
Also, I purchased this through amazon.com, so I'm assuming I need to handle this as an RMA through creative, not through a return process with amazon.com, correct?Message Edited by SLOROJO on 06-3-2005 0:6 PM

I have been through some USB woes' (as SSR is aware) and don't dispair yet. What does worry me is that other MP3 players work. Make sure that is the case even after your last set of changes. Drag an equivlant amount of files to the other MP3 players. Be equal in your testing. I was able to drag a 20K file to my N200 .. but a 2MB file would get hosed.
Having said that, for me, the N200 works without instaling any of the drivers or Media explorer. I agree, go to another W2k or XP machine, plug it in and drag about 00MB of files to the N200 when it shows up on the explorer. If that works fine, then there are many ways to clean up your USB stack. Not sure if it's a USB2 issue .. and SSR has dealt with that.
I had a situation where another USB driver was interfereing with my USB phone sync program. Cleaned up all USB device drivers, and it worked fine. With W2k SP4 or XP2, have not had too many issues.

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).

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 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 Ease of U

I am considering the purchase of either the MuVo N200 or TX FM (52MB). I have a portable CD player I use at the gym but have never used a flash memory player.
. How easy is it to switch between stored music and the preset FM tuner?
2. Can toggling between encoded music and FM be done while on a treadmill?
3. Compare the sound quality of MP3 music (28kbs), FM tuner, and portable CD player?
Any insight you have would be helpfull.

i like all of the muvos, because they are so simple. Before you work out, just go into music mode then into FM mode. After that, all you need to do is press the toggle wheel in twice (you don't even need to look at the screen).
That might not be the exact procedure, but it's something like that
