Sync with windows media player

try to connect it to another computer see wat happens if it recognises it format it

Vista = not compatible with this player

right click your playlist, add to sync list.

Error C00D1236 virtually always indicates one of two things:

1) The device is trying to sync hidden files--are there any?
2) There is licensed media that is being synced, and the license is either corrupt or has expired. If you have any licensed media, then try going back to where you purchased it (in an iTunes-like music management program? In WMP?) and refresh/renew the license.

The bad news is that until C00D1236 is resolved, you can't sync your device.

You can bypass syncing, and directly transfer files, In my computer, the mp3 plaer will be shown as a drive.

Now if one of the two solutions above is not feasible for u, try this:

In case you have a problem to connect your Samsung YP-U2J Mp3 player, you should update Firmware to get it working. The new Firmware may be downloaded from Samsung.com.

CLICK Here to Download : Firmware Update

This error is common with Windows Media Player

Here is the instruction:

1. Download the YP-U2J Updater
   
2. Remove Mp3 player if you already connected to the USB port
   
3. Run the program (You should see something like: Please connect the device)
4. Hold down the Play button and connect the Mp3 Player to USB port (Hold down the play button while you connect the device, you should see a message (normally after 8 seconds) like: Initializing on YP-U2J Updater program screen)
   
5. After you hear the Windows chime "new device found" or the message "Initializing" on YP-U2J Updater, you can now remove your hand from play button.
6. Check the Format Data Area checkbox (By clicking the yes button, you will lose all of your data in your Mp3 player)
   
7. Click the "yes" button
   
8. Finally, click on the Start button (takes less than a minute). DO NOT REMOVE YOUR DEVICE
   
9. IMPORTANT: After updating the firmware, you MUST disconnect the Mp3 player and turn it on. You will see a 20% message for about 50 seconds and it will be restarted automatically.

Update: Please keep in mind that if you sync your Mp3 player with a computer that has a Windows Media Player 9 or 10, you should do these steps again

Try formatting the device

Once the device is connected to your computer, you can view . manage the music thru My Computer. Just click on the device name and you will see the contents and you can delete or add them thru there. Please add to the question if you need further assistance. Best of Luck.

push the reset button

Here is the user manual for your player if you need it; http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200601/20060124115711375_YPZ5-USA-ENGLISH-0.0.pdf Page 18 states that you can only sync with wmp 10, there is no alternative software that will do the job. Hope this helps :)

Try installing the Samsung Media package supplied with the player. Then restart your PC - all programs should then recognise the YP-Z5
