MP4 PLAYER HELP PLZ!

here you go

This guide is for you if:



You bought a player larger than 2 GigaBytes capacity from eBay.

You just bought a new player.

You are experiencing Format Errors on newly added music/videos.

You are experiencing frequent Player Restarts (hourglass) when playing certain songs.

Your player duplicates music/video files that you add in.

Your player does not allow you to move/delete files that you have copied in.

If you fit any one of the above (or even all), then this guide is for you.

Why you should format:



Not formatting will only cause you ALOT of trouble in the future.

Not formatting increases the chance of killing your player in future, and you will need to perform Dead Player Recovery

Ensure that what you have bought, is of the actual memory capacity.

If it is a gift for someone, you don't want them to come back to you with the above mentioned problems.


Common Myths regarding this formatting procedure:



You will not lose any firmware/theme related files.

You will not accidentally kill your player whilst doing so.



STEP 1
Back Up All Your Data Before Proceeding! This Guide Will Clear Everything In Your Player's Memory Chip.

Install MP3 Utilities, any version will do. It usually comes on the CD with the player, or you can download version 3.68
Here, or version 4.03 Here, or version 4.05 Here. Any one of these will do. The Disk Tool Utility is the same.


STEP 2
Start up MP3 Utilities Disk Tool.
You will be shown a screen like this:

Ensure that you select LOW Format Type.

Next, go to the Partition and Encrypt tab as shown below.

Now, slide the Partition Slider all the way to the Right.
You will notice the "Setting encrypted disk capacity" increases, it is normal.

*NOTE* Ensure That You Do Not Click The "Set Username And Password", Leave It UNTICKED.

Next, click on Start to begin the format and partition process. You will be presented with a dialog box like below, click on Yes to proceed.

It will take a few moments for the process to complete. You will notice that your player would disconnect from the computer, and then re-connect back again.

You will be presented with the "Complete setting disk partition!" dialog box like below.



STEP 3
Go to My Computer and check that now you will two memory drives for your player.


One of which would be small (about 17MB), and the other would be the remaining memory capacity.

Now, go back to the Partition and Encrypt tab.
Slide the Partition slider to the Left, and click on Start.


You will repeat the process and the "Complete setting disk partition!" dialog box would appear.


Check in My Computer that now you will only have One single memory drive for your player. Right click on it and select Properties, this is your actual real memory capacity.


Now check your player's Memory Info for the correct memory display.
To access this, go to your player's SYS TOOL >> MEMORY INFO.
Your player should display the actual memory size that you have just checked.
Check if the percentage is at 0%. If it is, you can skip Step 4 below, and continue to Step 5.


STEP 4
If your player's Memory Info does not show 0%, you will need to complete the below procedure.

Right click on your player's memory drive, and select Format.



Now a new windows format screen would appear.

Select FAT in the File System dropdown menu.
Click on Start to begin on the format process.

A warning will appear for the format, click on OK to continue.

Wait for a few moments while Windows formats your player.
When completed, check your player's Memory Info again, it should display 0% now.


STEP 5
Once completed, sit back and start copying music/video files to your player and enjoy your stuff!

If your system can take it, i would install windows xp. That should solve your problem.

 

Hiya Can anyone help me? when i put pictures or music on my mp4 it works fine, but when i put movie an stuff on it doesnt show up on my mp4 player but still shows up as a file when i plug it in on the pc . what format do movies have to be for them to play on the mp4 ?

 

AMV is the format. You should have got a disc with your player and install the mp4 player tools,. If you got it from e-bay dont use the update or upgrade tool. Also if you have trouble when you put a movie on, e.g audio not right with movie change the settings in your programs look at earlier post. cheers have to say this good win Rovers 3 Wigan 0.

Hello people,I've just joined up.I had bought a mp4 player before christmas. I thought great I can download music etc etc.After reading the manual,I came across a part where it said they have a website to upgrade the firmware for this player,but there was no actual name of the of the website in the manual. Oh,I forgot to tell you the brand 'SKY'. So I rang the retailer and they said there is no website yet,I was a bit dissapointed.Then over the holidays I searched the net and found this site.I also lost the Tom & Jerry video.After reading these messages I found a site that solved my problem.Thanx People,this site is great. Also Can anyone tell what site is the firmware upgade for these Mp4s.

 

I am considering formatting my player because I have been experiencing the 'frequent restarts [hourglass] when trying to play certain songs.'
but i'm worried that if i do, my 4gb player will become a 1gb player like this...
Anyone have any other solutions I may try first, or any comments about this [did you lose memory space, did it work fine, etc]?

 

I don't know the answer but , can you tell me where you took this programme and (if you want) can you give me it? Because I search it for longtime ago.

Hi, long shot but here goes.

I bought one of these 4Gb MP3/MP4 players for my son's Christmas, and copied a lot of his music onto it b4 I gave it to him.

Problem is that the divot deleted ALL the files from it so that he could add new folders with music onto it. Now we cant get any music files onto it.

Any chance that one of you kind people could get in touch regarding either sending them to me, or telling me whereI can download them.

Or even tell me how to do a Firmware Upgrade.
