Some WMA files returning "invalid file" error when I try to transfer them to my MP3 pla

Hello! I'm having a new problem with my Zen Micro this week. I have been using Walmart.com's music download service for a year or so now and have never had a problem with their files. All of a sudden this week, 2/3rds of the files I have downloaded will not transfer to my MP3 player. When I try to import them, the Zen Micro returns an error saying they are "invalid" files. Some files transfer fine -- others give me this error. I talked to Walmart about this and they said it's a problem with my MP3 player. Does anybody know what might be causing this? Should I be trying an upgrade to my Media Explorer program, or something like that?
Thanks for any advice you can offer (and yes, I know Walmart is run by *******s, but at least they don't make me download a huge application before I can buy online music from them!).

I had similar problems with downloads before I upgraded to PlaysForSure. Even though in theory you don't need PlaysForSure for pay as you go downloads, in practice the complex rights built into the music mean that it is the only guarantee that downloaded music will play for sure and correctly on your player. I would recommend upgrading to PlaysForSure firmware from the 'downloads' section of this website (you need windows xp service pack 2 and windows media player 0 first). Make sure you back up your music if possible first as all content will be erased when you upgrade firmware. You will then need to download the software suite for PlaysForSure zen micros to get MediaSource and MediaExplorer.

  • Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac.  When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

    Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel.  The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files.  The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

    If one drive works and the other doesn't that points the finger at the errant drive. They are cheap, replace it. To check formatting right click it in Finder and choose Get Info and look for Format type. Finally do you eject it when removing it or do you just pull it out of the USB connection?

  • My audiobooks say "original file can not be located" when I try to play them. Why?

    All of my previously purchased audiobooks say "original file can not be located" when I try to play them. Why? They do not appear under the "purchased" area of the itunes store. Why? How do I fix this?

    I just posted a similar question -- five months later.  Did you ever find a solution?

  • My iPhoto pictures show an error when i try to view them

    my pics in iphots show a grey and black triangel with exclamation when i try to view them. its not all photos either

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to repair the library:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
    iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
    File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
    or
    Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
    menu option to rebuild the library.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • MasterThemeSchema.xml file has invalid data error when customizing layout

    Whenever I try to customize my layout for Responsive HTML5 I get an error "MasterThemeSchema.xml file has invalid data". I've tried creating new layouts and editing existing layouts. The first time I click Customize Selected Layout it works. But any attempt after that produces the error. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks.

    Has not working over the network fixed the problem? If it has, check both ways again to establish beyond doubt that it is a problem with working on the network. If it does prove to be that, please file a bug but also post back here.

  • Why won't my nano accept alac or wav files when I try to transfer them from my itunes library?

    I've ripped my cd collection into itunes in either alac or wav format. Now when I try to add some of these music files to my ipod nano 3rd. gen., they always transfer to the ipod as a aac file. I know that I have to go to preferences and adjust the settings in the pop ups to whichever format I want to make the music files in, and I've done all of this. I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, or if my computer or my 2 ipods are broken somehow. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Check that you don't have this setting checked in the Summary section of iTunes for your iPod:
    Otherwise you should be OK - AFAIK all iPod nano models support WAV and Apple Lossless, and a quick test with a 7g nano suggests that syncing a WAV file creates a WAV file on the iPod.  If you're seeing something different then some deeper digging may be required ...

  • Invalid Cursor error when modifying Assignment details - Transfer workflow

    Hi,
    We're trying to submit a Transfer transaction but if we try to modify any field in the Assignment details screen, we're getting a system error, and sometimes we see ORA-01001: invalid cursor error. We have already checked the database objects (procedures, packages, triggers) and we don't see any code which has an invalid use of a cursor. Does anyone have a clue on the cause of this error?

    This is just a guess,
    all you cursors are being opened regardless of any condition, for example;
    OPEN CUT(:NEW.LAYOUT_NO);
    OPEN DET(:NEW.LAYOUT_NO);
    OPEN ITM(:NEW.LAYOUT_NO);
    OPEN LOT(:NEW.LAYOUT_NO);
    OPEN DTN(:NEW.LAYOUT_NO, :NEW.CUT_NO, :NEW.NOTE);UNA however is opened after a condition;
    IF DTN%NOTFOUND THEN
      /** start --added for cha 2011-3172 6/14/2011 **/
          OPEN UNA(:NEW.LAYOUT_NO, :NEW.ACCOUNT_NO);All cursors arel however closed regardless, i.e. they are all assumes to be open;
      CLOSE CUT;
      CLOSE DET;
      CLOSE DTN;
      CLOSE ITM;
      CLOSE LOT;
      CLOSE STAT;
      CLOSE UNA;So I think you are closing the UNA cursors wen it is in fact not open.
    So, move the "CLOSE UNA;" line of code to before the END IF; on line 278, since that is when it will definitely be open.

  • How do I download OS 10.6.7 to an external drive? For some reason it gives me an error when I try to download and install directly to my MacBook Pro.

    How do I download OS 10.6.7 to an external drive?  For some reason I get an error message when I try to download directly to my MacBook Pro from Software Update or from the Apple Downloads site.

    I just had this issue as well.  A work around is to manually install all of the updates, one-by-one.  This may take a while and be a pain, but after this it's freesailing for future updates.  Not sure what the issue is but don't worry, that will fix it.

    Instead of downloading one by one simply download the 10.6.7 'combo' update from Apples support site, it contains all previous updates in one package.

  • I am getting "invalid signature" error when i try updating itunes. How do I fix?

    because of an invalid signature I tried doing this again only manual this time and the same thing happened.
