My philips gogear 4 gb mp3 player is frozen on one screen and wont turn off. I was adding a song to a playlist on it and listening to music and it suddenly froze. I cant turn it off or any thing. What...

Just simply take a thin-leaded pencil or the end of a paperclip and hit the small reset button on the device. The player should turn off.

My GoGear MP3 from Philips is frozen on Ok To Disconnect.

You will need to grab the updated version of the Philips Device Manager from Philips website and update the firmware to resolve your issue.

My philips gogear 8gb has froze and has been frozen for 4 hours now. what can i do?

There is a slot next to the lock button on the bottom of the device.
Use the point of a safety pin or paper clip, and insert it into that slot. This will reset the device.

Frozen

ok.
all you need to do is push and hold the ^ (up) key on the front and the Volume + key on the side for a few seconds. This will force the hddto reset and turn off. Now you can turn it back on and continue using it. Please note this doesn’t erase the data or music off the MP3 player.

After listening to the first song, i flipped to the next and it froze!

There should be a reset button at the back try this, or hold the power button for several seconds and see if it does anything.

If it's just frozen in on mode you can also wait for the battery to die and then try again.

Good luck.

Phillips GoGear 4Gb - Can't sync songs onto player anymore.

Software can be found by going to:
www.usasupport.philips.com
Enter your model number
On the next page, click on your exact model number without the "B" on the end
On the next page, click on "software and drivers"

Make sure you back up all songs on the GoGear before attempting this solution.

1) Back up all files on the GoGear
2) Open up Philips Device Manager (Start --> All Programs --> Philips)
3) Click on the Repair Tab, and look for a msg that says connect the player while holding the volume + button
4) Disconnect the GoGear from the computer and turn the GoGear off - hold in the volume + button and continue to hold it as you reconnect the GoGear to the computer; after holding the volume + button for up to 20 or 30 seconds, a window will open up saying that your device is being repaired (now you can let go of the volume + button); after the repair is successfully complete, your GoGear will be good as new

Now you can do the firmware upgrade that will prevent this problem from occuring in the future. Open up Philips Device Manager and click the Update tab. This problem was caused because most GoGear's were designed for Windows XP with Media Player 10 (which is no longer the latest standard).

Try doing a soft reset. 1. Press and hold the Power on/off key and the volume + key for a couple of seconds. 2. Then switch on the GoGear using the Power on/off key. Note: Your songs and data will not be lost or corrupted by a soft reset. Update your players firmware to the latest version to reduce the chance of future hang-ups.
