My Philips GoGear SA3015 can not works with Microsoft Vista Home.
I have already tried the supplied CD, and download from their support web, but no good. It works on XP at the first time installation, though, but not on my vista laptop.
I assume it should works with vista since it is written on its box "compatible with Vista", but it doesn't in my case.
Is it a vista problem, or gogear problem?
thanks..

This player has an issue that the latest firmware fixes, re: constant freezing during updating. If you can just get the computer to recognize the player, and load the firmware update then you should be fine. The firmware update should load when you go to the "Update" button on the latest Device Manager (the version of the Device Manager from Philips' website, not from the install CD).
If the computer is not recognizing the player, then try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it 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.

You have to convert the file from an aspple/aac audio file to an mp3 file. The easiest way to do this is to download a free audio/video converter like format factory from download.com, and you can easily convert the files to mp3's very quickly. You also have to be sure that your apple tracks are DRM free.

there should be a small pinhole on the back of the device push it in and that should reset your device

try putting it into recovery mode by holding the volume up while plugging it into the pc this might at least get the pc to see it also try it with a diffrent cable
