Disk full requires 50mb free space

I have an 8g opal, every time I turn it on it says "disk full requires 50mb free space" then it just shuts off. I tried reformating and resetting the device which as you know deletes everyting off it, it is still reading the same thing on the screen. I went into my windows media player and tried to delete songs this way, no luck. Now my computer is not even recognizing the device at all. HELP I'M READY TO THROW IT AWAY AND GIVE UP ON MP3 PLAYERS ALL TOGETHER.

Hi, you can try to upgrade the player's firmware, you can download it from the RCA Website (http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/downloads.aspx?product=187), the firmware it's the second app listed.
If your computer doesn't recognize the player, you'll have to turn it off and keep "PLAY" pressed for 10 seconds while connecting it to the USB port, then update the firmware.

When i power on my rca opal it says it is building database

The device requires 50MB of free space to build the internal database. Make sure you have at least that much space before trying to power on again. If you do have that much space, there is likely an issue with the firmware and will require a firmware reload.

You can download the update from here:
http://voxrightnow.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2558

Follow the installation instructions provided. (You may need to backup the media on your device if you don't have it already on your computer)

Profiling requires 4mb free space

Straiten the end of a paperclip and push it into the reset hole on the back. When you turn it on, it should operate as normal without any data loss.

Resettingmy mp3

I had the same EXACT problem as this and I fixed it but in order to fix it you lose all your songs :( Any way heres how)...Go into 'My Computer' and right click on device (my device showed up as a removable disk) select 'format' and follow steps... it took a few seconds. Then when you turn on your Opal it should work but wont have any songs on it.

Opal mp3 1g

Sorry I don't know where the "Profiling requires 4mg of free space" came from. But one thing I do know is that one GB of space should hold up to approx 600-650 songs unless they are WAV files then they take up 30 megabytes per song.

Hope this helps

New RCA mp3 8GB not working

My only thought is to format it. There may be a song or some file you placed on it that is causing a glitch.

What does it mean???

The Opal has a reset hole on the back of the unit in which a toothpick (non metallic) can be inserted to reboot the player.
If this does not work, I suggest that you reformat the player by using the WindowsTM format command on the unit. To reformat the memory
  1. Right click on the device within the Explorer or My Computer window
  2. Select the format command (full format) to reformat the internal memory of the device.
  3. Reinstall the firmware from http://download.rcaaudiovideo.com/downloads/opal_fwutility_v2.3.0.exe

RCA Opal troubleshooting

Make sure the Hold Button - it's on the side of the Opal - is off.  When the hold button is on, it makes the Opal think the Flash disk is full, and you get all kinds of wacky reactions.
