My met400 initially boots with the gigabeat screen and the loading bar completes its journey. Then this screen remains and I can do anything else but use the reset button to turn it off.

The term is Gigabyte. I suggest you rephrase the question and resubmit it with more details as to the problem you're experiencing.
List the Computer in use. The Operating system Windows? Make and Mod. of the computer, approximate age when purchased, what changes you made or added hardware to the computer. What is your current experience and how has the system changes recently.

SOURCE: Computer does not recognize Gigabeat Device

http://www.toshiba.co.th/download/support.html

I came across this link, its a firmware / software update.

Install this and vista should recognize gigabeat.

Vista does not recognize ANYTHING, if you have XP then KEEP IT.

I have learned about vista's compatibility issues the hard way,

and now im stuck with Vista and lovely payments from Dell.

You've either got the wrong battery or did something wrong when you installed it. You must make sure that the main power switch at the bottom is turned off.

SOURCE: My toshiba MES60VK wont turn ON

I have a mes 60 gb Gigabeat and I've had the same problem. There is a very small slide switch on the bottom if the gigabeat. Use a pen or the end of a paper clip to slide it to the left (off) wait a few seconds and slide it back to the right (on). It should allow you to turn it back on with the power button. You may have to repeat the procedure leaving it off a little longer each time.

Gigabeat S Series firmware restore

I just solved the same problem yesterday. When you download the firmware, save it to yur desktop and burn a CD because the gigabeat won't get it unless there is an actual CD in the rom.

Now, connect the gigabeat to the computer and let the firmware install. The unit will automatically restart twice. Here's the tricky part. You have to hold down the start button on the device until you see the start screen. (It took awhile for me to figure that out!)

After I saw the start screen, I saw that all my files were there! YAY

Froozen

do a hard reset.
1. Turn the G1 off. If it’s frozen on, take the battery out and put it back in the unit.
2. Hold the Home and Power keys down at same time for about 25 seconds. You will see a yellow triangle screen with exclamation point in the middle.
Now to wipe the device clean:
3. Press Alt+L.
4. Press Alt+W for a factory reset.
5. Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds.
The device should then reset again and the hard reset is complete.

I can't unlock my Gigabeat.

Betcha something's rattling in there. Open it up (or have the local shop do it to keep the warrantee) and set it right so it registers that the lock switch is moved. Spring things back into shape to the lock/unlock switch works. Then close it back up and be careful, maybe putting a case on it.

Toshiba gigabeat

gosh! where did you drop the gigabeat?? It must have been a hard fall, or in an awkward position, because I have dropped mine on cement so many times, but it has a tiny scratch on the back and nothing else.

I once had to send my gigabeat in to the company for repairs. They did a pretty good job, fixed it, and sent it back. I would recommend sending it in, because your problem seems out of your control.

Computer does not recognize Gigabeat Device

the solution is simple. Simply Run both Gigabeat watcher and giga-room programs as administrator if u have windows vista.
How to do this :

Click on start in the taskbar at the bottom right of your screen,
then click on all programs,
then click on the Toshiba Gigaroom Folder,
then right click Gigabeat watcher and click on "Run as Administrator"
then right click "Gigaroom" and click on Run as Administrator

and then look in the bottom right of the taskbar, the little Gigabeat watcher symbol should be there with a green square instead of grey. If its green then it means Vista has recognised your gigabeat and u can now transfer music to it via gigaroom. i hope this helps people as i was on the verge of buying XP myself again... Peace all and HAPPY GIGABEATIN!
