MuVo TX FM works on PC but won't start on it's

Hi Guys,
I have a Creative MuVo TX FM that works well when it's plugged in the PC but would not start on its own (as an MP3 player). So now it's demoted as a mere flash dri've.
So far here's what I've done:
. Upgraded the firmware (MuVoTXFM_PCFW_LF__23_03)
2. Tried doing the recovery mode but the "New Hardware Found" dialogue box would not appear (instead the taskbar baloon "This device can perform better" appears), also installed the "Mass Storage Device" drivers (MStorage_PCDRV_LB__07_00_250)
3. Cleaned the contact point / ports in the battery module and USB dri've
4. Used a spare batter module to check if it's the one failing (I have another TX FM that seems to have died already)
5. Batteries are new, been buying around 8 batteries already thinking that it's a power issue... using Panasonic's Digital AAA (LR03 (T))
Still no avail.
I really love the functionality of the TX FM (File organization is really nice and it looks really great!!!), but after 2 mishaps (less than 2 years, both we're purchased almost the same time, and failed almost the same time) it's really starting to bother me if I would choose Creative as the next MP3 player of choice.
Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks,

Hi Guys,
Still got the problem, just some minor updates.
Mananged to actually do "recovery mode" using Windows XP SP2... here's the procedure:
. Wait 'til taskbar baloon "This device can perform better" appears... if new "New Hardware Found" dialog box fails to appear.
2 Run the Firmware, it will prompt you that it recognizes a device under recover mode.
I was hoping that after sucessfully doing the recovery mode would resolve everything... but alas the Muvo Tx FM still fails to fire up on it's own. I tried probing the battery, the connectors inside (dismantling the battery module), and the battery module port / terminal (middle terminals?), I'm getting consistent .5V... that would scrap battery module problems right?
Any leads? Really desperate of getting this fixed...
Would really appreciate any help,

    If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
    Cheapest option:
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
    If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
    Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
    Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

  • My external hard drive works on PC but won't even show up on my mac?

    My external hard drive works on pc but won't even show up on my mac? What can I do?

    If it is in the wrong format it must probably still show up though, if your mac does detect it, go to disk utilities> choose the device from the left hand side > go to the "erase" tab and change format to "Mac OS extended (Journaled) then hit "erase".
    IMPRTANT! : this will erase ALL of the files on your external hard drive
    If this dosent work, make sure your external hard drive's USB port is compatibe with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 and also make sure your mac USB socket isnt damaged either.
    Hope this helped

    just hooked up airport extreme. works on mac but won't allow phone or iPad on. how do i get them to connect?

    How old are the various devices? It could be possible for you to have configured a very new AirPort Extreme in a way that older iPhones and iPads could not access. For example, could you have set up the Extreme to use only 801.11n and 5GHz?

    I have macbook air late 2010 model... it works fine otherwise but it has started being overheated in normal situations where normally it used to work fine and draining more battery....... battery time is almost half now.
    should i reset SMC... would it help?

    I'm doubtful it's a missing driver too, but I feel as though it's driver related. The first time XP was installed, after first boot without installing drivers, it was without sound etc, but fundamentally the system worked. Now after first boot, it's very buggy. Thanks for your suggestion Tonny. I ran the tool but it turns out the HDD is fine. Besides, everything runs fine in safe mode.
    Does anyone know if (generally speaking) there is any firmware on the graphics card that would get updated via a Windows update? i.e. is it possible that Windows update downloaded a driver for the graphics card that installed new firmware that wasn't all that compatable with XP?

  • DG4ODBC MSSQL query works in sql, but won't compile in PL/SQL.

    I'm using DG4ODBC from 11g to query a SQL Server database. The query I'm using works in a SQL DEveloper SQL worksheet and sqlplus, but won't compile in a PL/SQL procedure.
    The query is
      INSERT

          label_name,
          cir_labelcode,
          cir_knownasname,

    If I remove the dbo,
      FROM "Account"@crmsvcI get

    BANNER
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
    PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
    CORE 11.2.0.3.0 Production

    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
    DG4ODBC is also 11.2.0.3

    The gateway claims about this column "Address1_TimeZoneRuleVersionNu" which is not listed in your select list.
    When a gateway connection is established it first checks out all columns of the table you want to select to determine the data types and then it fetches the data for the columns you want to select. But there's also an exception - when you use functions the gateway is not able to translate into the syntax of the foreign database. in this case ALL columns will be fetched into the Oracle database and the result is processed locally (post processing).
    You're using replace function which won't be mapped to the foreign database equivalent using DG4ODBC so it will post process the result and fetch from all columns all the data into the Oracle database. Your table contains a column which exceeds the 30 character limitation of Oracle, hence the select will fail.
    The only work around is to create a view on the foreign database side which reduces the column name length to 30 characters or less.

  • Safari won't work (bookmarks select but won't unselect)

    My problem is that when I click on any bookmark in Safari, such as those in my Bookmarks Bar, the page stays blank/white, and the bookmark stays with a permanent grey oval around it, as thought it was selected, but won't unselect when you let go of the click. I can go through the menus and select any command, and can bring up the Downloads window for instance. So it is not completely unresponsive, but it won't actually browse the web. I can try to open a file, but when I get to the open dialog, it won't let me select anything. This happens in all users accounts, and was not corrected by resetting Safari, or by trashing the Safari cache, or trashing prefs, or repairing permissions, or even running single use mode to repair the directory. Firefox works fine, so it is not as network problem. Any ideas?

    Since this happens to all user accounts, there are two paths you can try.
    Path one - reapply the 10.4.8 combo update. "Repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder after the install/restart. I suggest not using the computer during the Install phase.
    Sometimes the reinstall corrects system files which may be corrupted and affecting Safari.
    If no go, then
    Path two - Reinstall Safari. Have a look at this Apple article for installing other software, including Safari, from the Tiger DVD - see the section titled More custom reinstallation options with Mac OS X 10.4.
    You'll need to move Safari.app in your applications folder to the trash. Also, in your HD>Library>Receipts folder, move the Safari.pkg file to the trash.
    As a precaution, prior to reinstalling Safari, move your Safari Folder, found in your User Library to the Desktop. It has your bookmarks, history etc. Once the reinstall is completed, move the folder back to its original location writing over the newly created folder.
    Remember too, the version of Safari you install will be specific to the Version on your installer DVD. Therefore, either run Software Update and see if Safari is updated. If not, you can reapply once again the 10.4.8 combined update. Repair permissions when you are finished.
    Post back.

    What installed iPhoto there in the first place?  Was it the same version of iPhoto that came with the Mac?  Was iLife added at a later time from a Mac Box Set?   You can selectively install iPhoto, and then apply the appropriate iLife update without taking it to the shop, after removing the application, or recover it from your backup.

    Any idea regarding what I am doing wrong? I have Eclipse on my comp, but I have installed the standalone version of FB 4 trial.

    > Even if the trial has expired shouldn't the screen with buy now appear?
    Yes, that's what I would expect too. Sometimes there are situations where previously installed Prerelease versions (beta versions from Adobe Labs) can interfere with that though, especially with multiple users on a given machine in a Lab setting.
    > I can requisition a full license from the sysadmin.
    Good idea - that's probably your best shot at getting FB4 activated on that machine, without needing to re-image it. After you obtain an FB4 serial number, you should be able to enter it at install-time to activate the license.

  • Internet won't connect. Works on iPhone but won't open on MacBook

    The internet won't connect, I get an exclamation point on my icon. My two iPhones connect ok but I can't get my Mac book to connect.
    How do I check, my diagnostics say I should call my provider but the other devices work great.

    The IP address starting with 169 is self-assigned and means that your router is not giving your iPod Touch an IP address via DHCP. In this condition you will not be able to access the Internet.
    You might try powering down and restarting your router and see if the problem is corrected (your IP address should be something like 192.168.1.x and you should see an address for the router, DNS, etc.). Reset the network settings on your iPod before attempting to connect.
    If this doesn't solve your problem test your iPod on another network (Starbucks, Borders, etc.). If it works there then you may need a new router. If it does not work on other networks your iPod may need repair.
    By the way, your problem is different from the OP.

  • DVD/CD Drive Problem: Works with DVDs, but won't Read CDs

    As the title states, my laptop's CD drive will not read CDs (it is a satellite A205 by the way).  The yellow light lights up, it makes noises as if it is trying to read the CD, but just doesn't do it.  It won't show up as a CD being there when I look it up on "computer".  On the other hand, when I put a DVD in, it works no problem.  Anyone have any idea of what I could do?  I've tried uninstalling the driver on device manager and restarting the computer, thus allowing it to reinstall it, and it didn't help.  Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Try cleaning out the drive with compressed air and/or a lens cleaning disk.  This often times helps. 
    Next try booting to a Linux Live CD or some other Self Booting CD like Memtest.  If it doesn't then you know for sure that the drive itself is defective as you are taking Windows out of the equation.  If it does, then you know it's a Windows problem which will more than likely require restoring the system to it's factory out of box state using the Recovery DIsks to fix.
    If the drive works with a Live CD then try going into device manager, uninstall the DVD drive, then reboot the system to have Windows automatically re-install it.  This sometimes helps as well.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • IPhone 4 connected to work's wifi, but won't connect to Internet

    Hi there
    We have multiple iPhones and an iPad at work, and I'm having a **** of a problem betting them to use the work's wifi connection. We have a Netgear DG834G Wireless Router, which is a 108g spec wireless. The wired network uses static IP addresses (for all the macs and PCs we have here), but the wireless appears to use DHPC (as the devices are allotted an IP address beginning with 169) and WPK-PSK security. The settings on the server suggest that the DHCP addresses are supplied by the ISP. The MAC addresses of the iPhones and iPad have been added to the router's 'allowed' list. The iPhones and iPad work fine on other wireless networks, suggesting an issue with either static IP systems, or WPK-PSK security.
    All the devices 'see' the wireless network, and appear to connect to it fine, but when I look at the displayed network icon, it is still using GPRS and not Wifi (we work out in the back of beyond, so no 3G).
    Any ideas?

    Hi Laurence
    Thanks for your help. The info that the IP address starting 169 were self assigned led me to re-look at the setting on the router. The DCHP wasn't set up properly, an now everything works as it should. Thanks!
