Muvo slim connection proble

Hello,
I bought a Creative Muvo Slim MP3 Player.
I can't see my player at my computer. I have installed/reinstalled drivers and software many times, but it didn't help. When I plug it, player shows that it is connected, but windows don't see it.. I have Windows XP.
I have updated all my motherboard drivers.
Help me out, please.

Open your device manager and check under 'Uni'versal Serial Bus controllers'. Do you have a Mass Storage Device listing there or you have some listing with unknown or an exclamation.
If the MuVo Slim is listed as Mass Storage Device under device manager then you may need to manually map your disk dri'ves, especially if your computer is connected to a network or if you have multiple dri'ves. We have an article on Knowledgebase on this.

Muvo Slim Battery probl

I have the Muvo Slim 256MB model no DAP-TD0008 with firmwire drivers ..03
The problem i'm having is the battery refuses to recharge. My initial thought was that the battery died completely from being drained and just simply wouldnt recharge, so I bought another one from the Creative website. I've had the new battery in my possesion for day, and it too, refuses to charge.
I have used multiple usb ports on multiple pc's (with the firmwire installed on each machine) and the battery never recharges, no matter how long I leave the player charging. I am also certain that it is not the chord itself. This is because I can still format, add, remove, and edit the playlist and software on the player through my pc's. It connects just fine and the pc's in my home recognize it just fine. Even the "charging" symbol on the top right corner is displayed while it's plugged in. But anytime I unplug it, the player immediately says that the battery is empty, and then shuts off.
I've been digging through the forums and have not seen another post describing this same problem.
ANY help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

If the player are showing the charging symbol then it should be charging. Remember that transferring files drain lots of battery. Perhaps you should let the player charge for a little longer -2 hours without doing any thing on the player like playback/transfer/etc..... and see if it get charged.

MuVo Slim transfer er

Hi. I'm frustrated with the tech support I'm getting in email, so hopefully somebody here can help me. I had songs on my slim and everything was working fine until all of a sudden, I started getting this error message. It says: error tranferring file. There is an option at the bottom not to show this message for all other transfers, and a countdown at the top that automatically closes the window in a few seconds.
Tech support said to d/l the new firmware, so I saved all my songs (I'm in Creative media source, by the way), and did the firmware. Now I get the same error when I try to put all the old songs back on there. Tech's next email gave instuctions on how to reformat, but I got stuck in the middle because they gave me instructions for the wrong player! Next email said: "Here are the steps to format your player. It is not necessary to do the format now yet." Huh? Since I didn't know what else to do, I went ahead and tried to follow these steps:
- remove the battery from muvo slim- connect the player via the cable to the usb port of system.- Open the device manager- Is there a recovery device class appearing in device manager?- Next update the latest firmware and follow onscreen instructions. (Ensure format data area is checked)
What is a device manager? Does any of this make sense? I'm running Windows 98.

Yes, I tried reformatting. That's where I got stuck on where the device manager is. The last person told me how to find it (thank you, by the way), but the next step said "is there a recovery device class appearing in device manager?" And there's not.
I asked tech support the same questions I posted here, and more, but they are giving me really confusing and garbled up info. Yes, I know they're trying their best, but I'm still frustrated. This is how they answered the same questions I posted here:
The other Options listed are Firmware update.Up-to-date firmware are equipped with fixes or additional features and we can also determine whether there is any problem with the current firmware on playerAnd the Setup of the Creative Player Bundled Software Creative MediaSource. For Transferring and Playback and Ripping of Song Tracks.Please also note that for any drm protected files, they have to be transferred over using theMediaSource program, due to the license issue.Your valuable feedback and understanding have been highly appreciated.
That did not answer one of my questions, and didn't make much sense. I know what I need to do is call and speak to a human being, but their hours are inconvenient with my work schedule.

Muvo slim probl

I've had my Muvo Slim 256mb MP3 player for 3 months now, and all of a sudden i realized that it wasnt recognized by my computer(XP)
I have tried reinstalling it again and again, i have also tried to change the letter dri've of the device to fix it but it doesnt show.
-the connection is secure
-all of the USB ports are working
-the player works on my other computer(windows 2000) but that computer is a piece of crap, and doesnt have any of my files.
-"there are no drivers installed for this device" appears in the device manager properties
-my computer is a fairly new, with Windows XP on it.

iwantanimac,
You are being so exaggerated about 0000 post regarding this player. Anyway back to your problem. Check in device manager when the player is connected and see if it's properly identify with no error under USB controller. If there's no problem shown in device manager then probably you will need to reassign a driver letter to the player. You can see the steps here to reassign the dri've letter.

MuVo Slim 1GB - Mass Storage Device probl

I have MuVo Slim GB and I copied there a 55 MB large file (not mp3, but .avi). Now I cannot get it out, the error message is "Cannot read". I can copy any of smaller files, I can move this large file to different folder (of the same mp3 player space). Any help, please?

"Can you play the file directly from the player (when it's connected and shows up as a memory stick)?"
-- No, I can't.
"It's possible the file was corrupted during transfer, can you delete it and copy it again?"
-- Well, that's the problem. I was hoping not to do that, because the original file I can get just tommorrow.
"Did you put it in a folder originally?"
-- Yes.

USB connect from MuVo Slim locks

Can anybody help as this is v frustrating espeshially as this is new purchase and can't get going
Have installed CD from MuVo slim BUT as soon as I connect device to PC (WinXP, Pent4) to any USB port via supplied cable the PC just locks and have to reboot hence I haven't got anywhere.
Doesn't show as ext storage device or anything
Any clues
Thks

That's weird. Are you able to try the player on another computer to determine where the fault could lie.

Does your Muvo Slim have this probl

When I have finished file transfer with my Muvo Slim, and disconnect the USB cable, sometimes ( out of every 3 times) the Slim will turn itself OFF (blank screen) and SOMETIMES it will turn itself on (the Creative logo displays, and then it starts to play a track.)
Has anybody else experienced any this erratic behavior?
Or, when you disconnect the USB cable, does your Slim always turn itself off, OR always turn itself on?
I contacted Tech Support, and they said I may have a faulty unit, and I am curious to see if this is happening with anyone else.
Incidentally, I am using the latest firmware version ..03.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

You didn't wait very long for any responses!
Did you try a full reformat and firmware update? Have you spoken to Customer Support yet to see if they can help?
Did you try creating a folder on the player, and copying some MP3 files into it's

[MuVo Slim] Charging from USB p

Hi
Over on the Nomadness MuVo forum someone asked about how to charge a MuVo Slim when away from their PC as it charges via the USB port.
I answered that if all they needed was a powered USB hub then they could buy an external, self-powered hub and then connect the player to it, without it being connected to a PC.
Would this work or does the player need to be connected to the PC for the charging cycle to begin? Or does it just need the power that the port supplies?
PB

Yes, I also tried this with a CyberPower 420 MP USB hub that is battery powered with an on/off switch http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/CPH420MP.asp But even with that hub turned on, it would not charge the Slim unless I connected the hub to a PC.
I use the Zen Micro charger to charge my Slim when I'm not near a PC. I had read an SSR post on this board where he recalled that someone had said that combo (Slim and Micro charger) would work. The Zen Micro charger provides 000mA, which is high for a flash MP3 device (higher is good) from 5V. So I tried it and it has worked fine. (I had a Zen Micro as well as the Slim, so it cost me nothing extra.)

MuVo Slim works perfect except Recovery Device Mode. H

Hello,
Recently my MuVo Slim has started to be recognized by my PC as a STMP3500 device and so I have run the "Mass Storage Drivers" programm to make it a Player Recovery Device to handle it.
Currently everything about the device works perfect except causing extra work while connecting to the PC: I have to run the Firmware update program each time I want to browse the files in MuVo Slim.
Only after the message "A device has been detected in recovery mode and is being initialized. Please wait..." is seen, recognizes the PC the MuVo as an external storage device. (Thereafter I simply close the window of firmware update program)
Btw, at that point if I click 'start' and upgrade the firmware of MuVo (or downgrade, that makes no difference) it is then again not recognized by PC! In this case, I have to go through the step I've described again: Run the Firmware update program , see the "A device has been detected in recovery mode and is being initialized. Please wait..." message and close the firmware update window, and so on...
Now what I'd like to learn is if there 's a way to skip this step of making the PC recognize the MuVo Slim? Please remember that my MuVo Slim works perfectly except that.
Thanks

Does anybody have solution? I still have to run Firmware Update program
"MuVoSlim_PCFW_LF__3_02.exe" each time I want to browse files within my MuVo Slim.
Please help!

Can I use MusicMatch w/ my MuVo Slim instead of Creative MediaSource Softwa

I would like to use MusicMatch with my new Slim MuVo instead of the MediaSource software that came with it, but I can't find my player in Match's list. I think I need a MuVo Slim plug-in for it. Where can I get this... IF I can get this? HELP!!
Beth

I am almost sure that the MuVo Slim will not need a plug in for MMJB. My MuVo?4 appears as a removeable dri've under Windows and also as a library location in MMJB (or MediaMonkey as well ... shameless plug for a great alternati've music manager!).
If you have a look at the MMJB Plugins page you will see on the right hand side that the MuVo and MuVo NX are listed as not needing a plug in. I would just give it a try with the Slim connected ... I bet it will work just fine!
good luck with it,
jake

MuVo Slim 128M, cannot transfer files to PC but being asked to format: Please kindly h

After getting connected to PC and trying to browse the files in my MuVo Slim 28M, I was asked to format the dri've before. I asked someone at the shop and he told me to install the firmware. But there is no way to get the files stored. I bought it about a year and 4 months ago and have been using it properly, i.e., always remove hardware in Window before unplugging.
Could you please kindly advise if there is any method to get the files? They are important recorded files that I don't want to lose.
Thank you so much for your time and assistance,
Sumet

It doesn't sound good if you're getting this message. About all you can do is test on another PC to see if you have the same problem.

Muvo Slim Format Er

Hello,
I'm am having some trouble with my Muvo Slim Mp3 Player. I got it a while ago and it was working fine until one day, all the music was erased and it stopped working. I tried to get it to work myself, having some knowledge on these kinds of things and all I could get was this error. When I was opening the Removable Disk folder it said "Disk J: is not formatted, would you like to format now?", I chose yes, and it would bring up a window. The program would run until the end, and then an error message would come up saying "Cannot format Disk J:". I don't know what else to do, and I've called up your support lines and they don't know what to do either. Maybe you have some ideas?

Please remove the battery and connect the unit to a PC.
Any data and/or music on the unit is to be lost. Do not continue unless you can accept that the unit will be erased.
Download the following firmware file:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=23&Product=0052&dlcentr ic=9425&Product_Name=MuVo+Slim&OSName=Windows+XP
Be sure to select "Format Data Area" before you start the upgrade process. Once the Close button becomes acti've, click it. Now, go into My Computer, right click on the MuVo 'removable dri've' and select Format.
Format the dri've in the FAT32 file system.
Use the safe hardware removal icon (green arrow near the clock). Once unplugged, you can replace the battery. The player should now operate normally.
If this is not the case, please contact customer support and request an RMA. Note that this only applies if the player is under 2 months old.

Muvo Slim Question's

Hi dear's,
I use Iri'ver IFP-890 and 880 before.
But, i buy a Muvo Slim/256, now.Battery life is good, Earphones sound quality is good. Menu system/button design and computer communications is extreme good Sound level is normal. Sound quality is good.Radio is very good for a mp3 player.Firmware quality is very good.But i dont find answer for this questions...Plug USB, starting charge... dont empty, plug reply USB, starting charge.. ...... recharge, dont empty, recharge, dont empty, rechargeis this a problem for Battery
Is there a option for dont charge request with per plug... ?If answer is a passi've USB, i can !And my firmware version is ..03
is there a possibility for increase the sound level ? ( Maybe a firmware ? )
I like Creative Bye from Turkey.

The Slim charges off USB, so there's no way to prevent this from happening when you connect it to the USB.
This isn't a bad thing though as the Slim uses a Lithium Ion battery which prefers to be top-up charged.
