I just recently put some music onto my nokia n96 phone and took some new photos but when i went to play the music on the music player it would not open, the same problem with the image viewer? I'm stuck really, do i have to reinstall the firmware or something, i'm not that knowledgable really. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Can't open image viewer or music player in gallery?
Did you try to play the items from : Menu > Office > Filemanager ?
The simple way to overcome bugs , corrupted software and memory (full ?) issues is reboot or reset . For hard reset have a Backup of all your personal data (on e.g. PC : Contacts , Calendar , Bookmarks , etc) .
See my post about reset here :

Default Nokia Code after Hard Reset : 12345
Check Nokia Support for Firmwareupdate , when you didn't yet . A Firmware update works also like a hard reset , but will bring ironed software instead of the old .

yes, i can open the image files but i can,t open the music files , i get the message "unable to open file"
Check the Codec of your music files . Filemanager > Highlight the Item > Options > (Check data/info) > Type .
Here is Nokia compatibility list :

When the file is not compatible , it won't play . Then you have to convert the files first to .mp3 , AAC , or etc .
There might also a security issue , like DRM (digital rights management)

i've checked all my music files, they are all mp3, they work on another app called 'power mp3', i just can't open the music player or image viewer in the gallery. I would imaging the best thing to do would be a hard reset??
I just updated fw to 30.033 and everything went fine besides that my image browser stopped working.
I reformatted mass storage, did soft en hard reset but problem stayes the same.
I didn't experience any problems with music player. Picture viewer is the only item in gallery that doesn't work. Any clues?
Edit: mrspongey solved his problem by reformatting his mass memory. It doesn't solve my problem...
