hello please check the key lock status of your mp3 player make sure that you select the unlock mode.also try to remove the battery and power on the unit press and hold the button atleast 30 seconds until the stored energy is discharge then return the battery and power on again..post back and let me know how it goes.
thank you and good luck!

The best way to figure it out is take a very small file, like a video sample and then convert it into a bunch of different formats there are basically 100's of different "types" of video files. Within .AVI you can encode it a 100 different ways of AVI. so you should run through and test which ones will work. I can be pretty sure it will be a pretty small resolution that will work. 320x something or to that effect.
Thanks,

if you have windows media player then you can drag the songs you downloaded on frostwire to windows media player sync list then you press sync

there aren't on the internet, try using the converter right off the disk you were provided

Try to reformat it. It might be a virus or a bug.

I don't know your mp3 player specifically, but it's a common issue with the cheaper players that they only display music in alphabetical order of the filename; and to make matters worse, the filename used is the "8.3 filename" (see wikipedia) rather than the long filename.

To establish if this is the case with your player, get a small selection of tracks and name them 001, 002, etc. (preserve the extension, whatever it is), copy them to the player and see if they play in the order of the numbers.

If you find that this technique works to allow you to control the order of play, you will want a more convenient way to manage a larger number of songs. I suggest using a free program called "MRename" by rajko (google for "rajko mrename"). Install this program.

1. To simplify things, copy the songs you want to a special folder for the purpose, because you're going to mess with the filenames.

2. Select all the songs, right click, and choose "MRename --recursion:OFF".

3. Use a select mask of *1 which will select all of them.

4. Use a rename mask of \N301.mp3 (replace 'mp3' if appropriate). This creates names of "N"umbers, "3" digits, with leading "0"s, starting from "1", and adds ".mp3" at the end as a literal.

5. At this point, you can actually move your tracks around in the renaming program... this is where you choose your play order! When you're happy, click "rename all" and it will be done.

6. Copy the tracks to the player, ensuring that they're the only ones on there, and they should play in the order you wanted.

format it

Mine did that. Let the battery die, then recharge it. It should work after that.

Leave it for a while, the battery will die, then recharge it and it should work. :)

Let it sit until the battery dies, then recharge it. It should work after that. Mine was frozen on one screen so I just let the battery die and it worked fine after that. :)

on the rightside,you will see a 'button' just push it up and hold for a few seconds then let go, it will go off eventually and to restart it you do the same

Go to Staples or any electronics store and tell them you want a SD card - you have to state what size (they come in various storage capacity depending on how much you want). Ask for their recommendation - the higher the more expensive they get. A 2 Gig is what I recommend to start.

it is supposed to load automatically but try changing the usb port you are using. use the internal usb ports in order to be sure that the required voltage is being supplied.

You should run the driver that came with the player in computer first ..and after that the connection will be possible ...If on the disk that came with it the driver is not present ..and only some software ..try to see if there is a file manager on it ...Usually the managers have a built in driver ..and use it ..
There is a possibility that the player was made do work auto..without driver ..in this case..connect it ..let the windows install it by running add new hardware ..and after that take a look in My computer folder and see if ti is present as a drive ..To load files copy them on this drive folder(removable storage device)

Ummmmm this calls for replacement or if you wanna spend the $$$$$$ to replace the screen. Tis so proprietary this screen. Sorry:(
