Somehow the MP3 player is unable to play the music. This may be because the format of the music is not in the MP3 format, so therefore in fact it is there, but is unreadable by the MP3 player. Make sure the music files are .mp3 format.

The I river supports MPEG4 video format. You can download the software for free from the link below.

MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format. You need to convert your CDs to mp3 music files onto yourcomputer or download them from the Internet and then copy them to your MP3player.
You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player willcreate a MP3 music file for each music track.

i think you could be trying to play the wrong format of video, i really need more information but for now my suggestion is to use a program like "Handbrake" its free off the internet and convert your movies to mp4 or mp4v handbrake will do this conversion for you then its just a matter of transfering them to your device.
hope this helps thank you.

Hi, I had the same problem with my Iriver E200. The cause is firmware corruption.

I solved this problem using this method:

1) connect your Iriver device to pc and open the disc of your player;
2) you can see various folders: open the folder named "system";
3) this folder contain a *sys file;
4) open this file using notepad;
5) go to the row "version = ...";
6) you have to modify this row by inserting an older version of firmware. For example if you have "version = 1.11", insert a smaller number, for example 1.07. Save the *.sys file edited. In this way you can force iplus3 to reinstall an uncorrupted version of firmware;
7) now open iplus3, go to Tools -> Portable device -> update firmware. You should be able to reinstall firmware.

It is circa 2007 so probably looking Windows XP and Windows Media Player 11. Not compatible with your computer Operating System is the most likely reason. You may be able to force the computer to look for drivers. https://www.google.com/search?q=Iriver+clix ..

Hi there! Well it sounds like the flash memory in your device has failed. This may not be the case. There is no way to say without testing and diagnostics, however if you can not access the files saved to the memory via the device(Playing the files) and the computer can not access that memory when connected, there is a strong possibility that your memory has failed. I am not sure the age of the device but it is well documented that all flash memory will at some point fail because it can only be read and re/written X amount of times(this is normal). Typically most devices will reach "EOL"(End Of Life), or end of use before the memory fails. The likely hood of recovering the files located within the inaccessible memory is very unlikely but may be possible. Replacing the memory chip in the device is possible but not feasible. I hope I have been able to help you today. Please if I misunderstood your question let me know so I can get you the appropriate help. Thank's Mr.Mike

Apparently it is not compatible with newer versions of Windows, but there may be a workaround solution. Which version of Windows are you trying to install a driver for?

reached it's used by date and now has failed replace the hdd

Remove the screws, locate and mark all connectors and remove.

i just googled your device and plenty of options came up on-screen, it seems there is a website that shows you in great detail, it's called "Youtube" and it's a video streaming website popular with music bands and other musicians, but also has instructional video's on just about anything you wish to learn.

convert avi files to mp4

If it is an older model like H10, it used a a micro hard drive which may have failed mechanically. Those old hard drive devices were susceptible to shock failure due to drops. In some cases you may be able to replace the failed hard drive with a compact flash card - I believe they used the same connectors and pin outs. If it is not a hard drive model, can you get it recognized by windows drive manager to try to reformat it. There's a linux based program G-Part Ed. It's an ISO file, burn to cd or put on USB and boot pc to the cd or usb to launch linux and the software then see if it will recognize and format it as an external drive. Gibson research used to make spin rite that was able to fix some hard drive problems, might work on flash memory too.
