Plug into our Dell Inspiron, recognizes but then says "can't start device." Any ideas, help? i have the same exact problem, and i am practically in tears, cause mine was full of songs (550) and it took about 10 hours to get those songs on there... now, i have no way of remembering which songs i had on there and no way to start it (i tried the "back button" thing and my finger slipped off, and now doing that doesn't work every time i try... someone please help me! my mp3 player meant a lot to me and i hope i can get fix it without losing everything!

Copy the songs from their location and paste them in your MP3s drive.
Or better yet use the windows media player/winamp to sync.
you can delete them the same way you add them.
use the windows explorer or windows media player/winamp

send back if you still have guarantee

I have a magnavox mp3 player and it turns on and shows just the magnavox sign then shuts off what should i do

I just had the same problem. Here's what I did. Un-install the Device manger and then go to this websight:

Now download Device/Firmware Manager, Version: 0101001006 English (US) and instill it. Then download Firmware Upgrade - Software, Version: 002.022.005 English (US) and run it. Now open the Device manger and click the repair tab. Now hold the back button on the mp3 player and plug it in to the computer until the computer screen says that it has reported an error. Now click repare. This worked for mine I hope it works for yours.

The MSA2025 is a neat little player - you just pop off the cap, and the usb connecter is directly attached to the device. So, no more cords.   The reset is simply to remove and reinsert the batteries.  It can work with Windows XP or Vista, and it is compatible with Windows Media Player 11. I would go ahead and upgrade the firmware at the first sign of trouble, because my friend, who is a Magnavox tech, had her share of problems with this one before upgrading the firmware. The only drawback of this player is that it is not compatible with DRM-protected WMA files - so it won't be compatible with Napster, Bearshare, Leap Frog, and many others. It is not compatible with iTunes.  Rhapsody's Mp3-Only service will work, as will Mp3's from Limewire, Morpheus, etc. I would only use mp3 files with this device.
I would reccomend using Windows Media Player 11 to Sync songs to your Mp3 player, but you can also drag and drop using Windows Explorer - just drop  the files in the Music folder of the Magnavox.

The manual can be found at: http://www.m4c.magnavox.com/files/m/msa2025_37/msa2025_37_dfu_aen.pdf

The Magnavox website also has the "Magnavox Device Manager" - which is the same as a Philips Device Manager but with a different logo.

mp3 player wont recognize videos....jus mp4 will do it if the video is in mp4 format

Just to follow up on the post by Blu2aRox If you don't have the software you can download it here: http://www.m4c.magnavox.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?scy=US&slg=AEN&cat=MP3_PLAYERS_CA&sct=FLASH_AUDIO_PLAYERS_SU&grp=PORTABLE_ENTERTAINMENT_GR&session=20081017190716_24.225.21.9&ctn=MSA2025/37&mid=Link_Software&hlt=Link_Software The "Back" button is the arrow button next to the volume control (took me a while to figure that out). You hold down the back button when you plug it into the pc, and windows will recognize it, and the magnavox software will ask if you want to repair it. I had to do it twice - the first time the software said it failed to repair. But I think that was because Windows was still installing the device - if I had waited for that to finish it might have worked the first time. Thanks Blu2aRox! Works great again.

Mine froze on the blue screen when turned on. BSOD???
Plugged it into the USB on computer and it all came good.
