Muvo N200 doesn't st

I have my mp3-player about 6 months.
Now the mp3-player won't switch on. There appears no logo or light.
I have used full different batteries.
There are no problems when i connect my mp3-player to the pc.
I have updated the firmware of the player (_2_0). I also used the option "Format Data Area"
Does anybody knows a solution for this problem, or is my player defect?
Martin

If you're absolutely sure you've tried working batteries, then the player is faulty. You need to contact Creative Support.

Now the same problem, today i loaded some mp3 and the same problem, i dont know what to do, it only play correctly files loaded as wma, but i want to play my mp3 files, please tell me what to do, is this a firmware problem? what can i do? im new into this.

Yes. Reload the firmware.

Muvo N200 doesn't seem to ex

My N200 had the latest updates on it, everything was fine. Then today I decided to put some more music on it, which it was doing fine until the next to the last track, when it gave me an error message (this was in mediasource organizer). So I unplugged it, noticed that it was saying on the LCD screen, "CREATIVE" and not doing anything, so took the battery out. Plugged it in again, and the computer recognized it, but said it needed to be formated. I made the decision to do this, even after not being able to back up the music on it because the computer couldn't read it. Cool, it reformated fine, and it's being recognized by the computer. Then I reinstalled the latest firmware and all that just to be sure. But--what's this--it's not being recognized by the computer again. And it won't power on (and yes, with different batteries). Strange thing is, Windows sort of recognizes it--it goes "ba-bum" (the "I recognize you just stuck a USB in me" perfect fifth) noise but no USB icon or anything shows up on the system tray and there's nothing on the LCD screen at all, battery or no battery in it. Recovery mode will not start; it's like it's dead.

You could also try reinstalling the mass storage driver on your pc. That might solve the problem. I had a similar problem with an old pc and a USB card reader years ago. The card reader would usually be recognized though if I rebooted the pc, then connected the card reader before launching any software. I know that rebooting the pc would be annoying, but it might let your player be recognized.

MuVo N200-No Free Space--Doesn't play eit

Had the Muvo N200 for about 2 months and it worked great. Changed the battery the last time then all of a sudden the thing tells me there's no music! Plug it into the computer and it looked fine...all the folders and files were still there and it was only half full. Unpluged it and nothing! On the info section it says TOTAL

Try to update the firmware and format the dri've and see if it recovers.
If all else fails, contact the creative support.

Creative MuVo N2000 doesn't play MP3 files anymore?! HE

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me out. Here's the problem.
My MuVo N200 player doesn't play mp3 files anymore.. there's only a strange noise comming from the player if i attempt to play mp3's...he only plays the wma files?! I gave my player to my flatmate so she could here music on her vacation to the US, and that's when the problem started. I never had this problem before, and i wonder if she acidently pushed a buttom she shouldn't. I can't figure out how to fix it. Anyone has a clue what has happend, or if the player is "lost" :-( ?! PS: The player is brand new.
Help is appriciated
Thx Lizzy ;-)Message Edited by lizzard on 08-23-2005 03:45 AM

Unfortunately, NONE of my friends use Windows anymore , even at work we use Linux for security reasons. So what am i supposed to do now... They have a link at Creative that makes you belei've that they support Linux and offer you the possibility to choose the operating system, in other words=Linux. When i told in a mail to Creative Norway that they offer Linux support at their download-site, they actualy had the nerve to tell me that they don't do that!! I told them to remove the choice if they don't offer it, and don't try to tell people that they are eighter blind or stupid, and i pasted the Link + added a Screenshot of the page into the mail!! I realy got upset. It is the last time i by something from Creative. My first player from Creative lasted exactly 2 weeks, after that he stopped working for one odd reason, so i paid a little more in order to get a better one in exchange, and that device didn't li've longer than month eighter?
Not exactly QUALITY we are talking about..aren't we?
What to do, what to do?
Anyone has a clue?

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 random shutd

Hi all.
i bought myself a great new muvo n200 last week.
it was great till yesterday. i was walking to take the bus and my headphones fell off and when i put em back on, there was no music playing. so i checked and it was off... so i turned it back on and the radio started (i was listening to mp3s.) so anyways, it was allright for a few more hours and then today, it didnt turn on (just saw the intro screen)
so i got on the bus again and i played with it in the afternooon... it kept shutting down.
it's not a battery problem cuz i had 6 diffrent batteries in there to test it.
i did the format and that just allows me to open it. but i cant select anything in the menu cuz that just kicks me out.
now is there a way to fix this? i mean i can't even get to the menu half the time.
is this just a manifacture defect or something that i coulda did?
if anyone has info, plz let me know before 5pm tomorrow cuz i'm about to return it!!!

Ok my MuVo n200 (52) doesn't shutdown, sorta, if I push the scroll wheel to access the menu options the screen clears but the music continues to play, i can turn the volume up and down, but there are no graphics. When it's in this "mode " I am unable to turn it off. I can take the battery out and and turn it back on and the music starts, and then the whole process repeats itself If I try to access the menu again.
I'm guessing you'll say to reformat, and firmware update.
Also I only have one folder, i recently deleted my other folders on the n200 and I'm wondering if that might be an issue as well.
Thanks for your help,
Victimiza

kungfookiller,
Try downloading the latest firmware update from website and use it to update and format the player. Remember to check the option 'Format Data Area'. Backup your player data first though.

Muvo N200 shows 0 free sp

Just got the N200, tuner is amazing. Decided to hook it to my PC, figure just drag and drop MP3 files...NOT....
Shows up as Creative Muvo N200 in device manager, but shows as 0 free and used space. Doesn't seem to read the GB. Running WinXP...
Tried upgrading firmware but all it does is search..
Any ideas?

Can you test on another PC? It could be a USB compatibility problem with yours.

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-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...

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
