MuVo N200 Shuts

Once i hold down the power button, the power kicks on for about 3-5 seconds then the power automatically goes out, i cant even get to the menu or anything at all it just totally dies. I changed the battery, let it sit for a while with no battery, nothing has seemed to work. Maybe i was the lucky one to get the special one of the batch? Help please...work sucks with no music. Thanks.

ok i tried updating the firmware and no luck with that...so i tried to reformat it. that worked so i thought. i deleted everything off my player and reloaded only a few songs to see if it worked, and it did. Then i decided to put a few more songs on my player and.....it went right back to shutting off again. and yes im loading my songs into folders and all that good stuff.....i read the instructions.
madtazz...idk what the help center told u to do, as the link u shot me was expired and i couldnt access anything but if ur still having probs definately try to reformat it maybe u'll have some luck...or for that matter anyone else out there try this if u havent already cuz i know how difficult it can be to try and get help from tech support...
to reformat, open "my computer" and find the "removable storage dri've" and right click on it, select format and select the dropdown box option of "FAT" click start and it will reformat. It only took a few seconds for me. and once again, suprisingly enough it worked for me.
but i would still like to know what causes this to happen.....there has to be a reason it does this unless its possessed.....and thats highly doubtful.
thanks everyone for ur help....circut city here i come! >: 0

MuVo N200 Shuts Off After Each S

Hi there. I recently purchased my N200 and it worked perfectly. Now, however it seems to power off after each song ends. It is very frustrating and I don't know where to begin. I downloaded songs from the Internet as well as from my personal collection. It worked fine for the first couple of days and this problem just started. Please help me and thanks in advance for your assistance.

Load the new firmware. Did you remember to "stop" the player each time before disconnecting it from the pc(see the instruction manual on the CD for information about this)? If not, then you should try deleting the songs on the player, and reloading them from your pc.

MuVo n200 is stuck in radio m

My MuVo n200 shuts off whenever i try to access the menu so i can switch to other music. Its stuck in the fm tuner mode and i cant switch out. Does anyone know what the problem is or how i can fix it.

Tried a firmware upgrade?

MuVo N200 auto-shut d

I bought my MuVo N200 player 2 or 3 months ago. Recently, I found that it would auto shut down when it try to jump to next track. And when I try to skp to next track, the same problem occurred.
I actually formated the player and reload music tracks. Unfortunately, the prolem is still there. What should I do to correct this?

I wonder what is happened as I just use it as normal, voice record & play loaded soundtracks. The problem simply came up so suddenly.
sasalove,
You got the same problem before?

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...

N200 shuts down when attempting to encode tra

I've got a Muvo N200 with which I have a problem.
When I try to encode tracks using the line-in it just shuts down when I try to choose that option. I go into the menu, use the jog wheel to scroll to the encoding option and the I press the jog wheel. Result: the player shuts off. I tried just scrolling to the option and pressing the play/pause button, but then it just exits the menu.
I have not upgraded the firmware on the player since I bought it, so it's fresh out of the box.
Anyone who's got a solution? Will upgrading the firmware do the trick?

Where can I find that firmware version? I can only find .6.02. And also, I tried updating to that firmware, but I don't know if it actually had any effect. When I ran that firmware update, the only way I got the New Hardware Guide-dialog to come up was if I removed the battery from the unit before I did the hold-play-button-and-then-connect-to-PC routine. Then it ran the Player Recovery stuff and then I unplugged it and it turned on just fine. However none of the tracks I had on it previously were delted. They were all intact after the upgrade. So the question is if the upgrade actually took effect.
Anyway, the encode option doesn't work now either. The reason I want to use this option is I want to be able to use the player for recording interviews using an external mic.
Also, in Explorer in WinXP the Creative Media Explorer says that the player isn't connected, while it obviously is as it shows up as a removable disk.
Dodgy player, this.

Muvo n200 HEL

my n200 wont turn on anymore i updated the firmware because i kept getting the error when i turned it on. but now it wont turn on anymore and when i plug it in my computer doesnt even recognise it. i've looked at other threads with the same problem and i've done everything that it says to do but still doesnt work.

I was having the same problem as C-rad after following instructions from a customer support email to update the firmware. I apparently had missed the part in the instructions to "Make sure that format data Area is selected".
Next my MuVo N200 wouldnt turn on. I finally got it to go in Recovery Mode.... Something happened like the computer restarted or shut down or something...and now my computer wont even recognize the player in recovery mode. I deleted the original creative thigns and reinstalled it....and it still doesnt recognize anything.
When I go to Device Manager and Hidden Devices when it is plugged in, I cant find anything that I would think is the player?
What do I do next? I would really appreciate any help I could get.

MuVo N200 Powering off when I press either volume but

Hello,
I'm having a problem with my MuVo N200 while listening to music tracks and radio. When
I press either the volume up or volume down button the device shuts itself off. I had been
using the device for a few weeks with no issues before this morining. I do have the old
firmware .0.02 and will upgrade to the latest when I get home tonight. However, I'd
like to know if anyone else had this issue and if they were able to get volume to work
again.
Thanks,
Troy

Starting a couple days ago, I have the same problem. I bought the N200 less than week ago. It's running firmware ..0
The volume control no longer works. It's stuck at level 40 and the controls do not respond. After trying to press the volume controls a few times it shuts down. When restarted, it starts playing from the beginning of the play list order.
Anyone have any ideas?

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

Muvo N200 reformat didn't w

Hi,
I just bought the Muvo N200 and my computer froze in the middle of downloading songs. I had to disconnect, which froze my player. I followed the instructions on how to remormat the player to FAT, but this still didn't work. The player just turns on for a second and then shuts down. Is there any other way of reformatting the dri've to do a cold boot?
I have also tried to unistall all of my software and re-install and reformat the player at the same time, but the same problem continues. Any ideas?

I had the same problem with my muvo n200, but it stoped playing all of a sudden. I realized that it was playing only wma files and when it was trying to read an mp3 it turned off.
I have reinstalled the firmware provided by Creative on the site and all went well. I hope you solve your problems. Creative are good products, just some models have little problems

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).

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.
