Hi.

You need to connect the player to a computer using an USB cable. The player will be seen by the computer as an external hard drive. Use the operative system features (e.g. file copy and paste) to transfer multimedia files onto your player.

• Charge your Philips GoGear ViBE for at least three hours before turning it on.

Your going to need to download and install the GOGEAR files from the gogear.com homepage under support. Once you do this, you will need to leave the files on your computer and then move the files onto the GOGEAR player. Keep ind mind that if you had music or data on the player before, that information will now be lost and not recoverable.

What I would do is open your mp3 player through my computer and copy all your music, photos, and viideos onto your computer. Then I would go and download the firmwear from the manufacture and reflash your player. That will set it back to the factory settings.

use some softwares like partition manager and format the player and freshly install this...

Subscribe to an online music service that is compatible with your GoGear, such as Rhapsody's Mp3-Only service - I repeat MP3 ONLY - no other Rhapsody service will work.

Use Windows Media Player to transfer songs to your GoGear, or Rip CD's into Mp3 format - I repeat MP3 FORMAT - using Windows Media Player.

Videos must be transferred using the Philips (Arcsoft) Media Converter that came on the installation CD. You can also get this program from Philips website.

You will only be able to transfer photos to your GoGear if you have used the installation CD that came with the player. It contains a critical file that Philips has never posted to their website called the Philips Device Plug-In.

Use a download program or rip media to your computer, use the music converter included or drag your media files to your mp3 player folder found in My Computer.
this should all be in the manual though.
