The file not formatted message is not an error that a repair will fix.
The songs that you have loaded onto the player are in a format that the player does not support. Do yourself a favor, and only download files that rae in mp3 format - they will never give you problems, error messages, require long explanations, etc.

The "File System Error" message is bad - it means that, rather than deleting just music files, you have accidentally deleted a key system file required for the Go Gear to operate properly. If you are still under warranty, call Philips and get a replacement GoGear, because they do not provide replacement files.

Make sure the hold/lock is not engaged. If not:
Triple Reset for Philips’ GoGear:

Disconnect the Go Gear from computer. Press the reset pinhole until the player turns off. Hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard. If this pop-up does not appear, reset the player again WHILE connected to the computer. Open the Philips Device Manager, and go to Repair Tab. Reset the player one more time while connected to computer. Follow the repair instructions.

After repair is complete, upgrade the firmware for this player. Will erase all the songs, but you should be good to go again.

This is an "Mp3-CD player," which is not the same as an "Mp3 player." This device will only play mp3 songs that are recorded onto a CD in audio format. It will not take songs from iTunes, etc. By the way, iTunes songs are AAC format, rather than Mp3 format, so you can't just burn iTunes songs onto a CD and expect it to work with this player either. Sorry.

The manual is available from Philips website. I can't give you an exact link, because there are dozens of 1GB GoGear's.

i can't download music

My phillips Sa411x won't read on my computer

CD players can not play videos

go to your playlists and over playlist on the go press the menu button and it says clear playlist on the go then just push that and you'll be set

Some items require it's own battery power to be read by a computer. Try to replace the battery.

That looks like a part # rather than a model #
here is a link where you can select your player or enter the model # and get the manual download in PDF Format.

i can't download music to my phillips gear mp3 player

what brand of MP3 player do you have?

You usually have to use the left and right arrows to advance to the next screen or go back. If that doesn't work then it's probably broken... :(

You may not have the same computer applications as I do, but I just open Windows Media Player and then plug the mp3 player in with the usb cord and click on the "sync" tab and there's a window that appears on the left where you can drag the songs you want then click "start sync" at the bottom of the window and wait...

I recently answerd a similar question. Just try googling the mp3 players model number and brandname followed by 'utilities' or' drivers.

I read this on a nother site and it worked. Right click your start menu, then EXPLORE. you will then see a list with your MP3 player name. click on it and the list of songs will appear. you can then right click and delete. hope it works for you.
