My computer wont recognize the coby MP820-4G - Coby Audio Players & Recorders

Coby only claims the CXR-190 is compatible with Windows Vista/XP/2000. I'm afraid your best solution is to use a Mac-compatible voice recorder.
If you need the recordings currently on the machine, copy them onto a PC and then transfer them to your Mac.

you probablyhad a different coby mp3 player and its using an out dated version of Coby Media Manager, download the updated version from here: http://www.cobyusa.com/files/software/MP707_Media_Manager.zip

how do I transfer avi videos to mtv format and sync them to my MP3 player??

Following these instructions for fixing your Coby Mp-610 MP3 Player will replace the internal programming of your mp3 player, and allow your computer to recognize it.

I had the same problem with my Coby MP822-4G when plugged into the USB2 hub on my monitor. Coby tech support suggested using one of the USB2 ports at the rear of my computer. I had to explore the USB2 ports to find one that allowed the computer to recognize the drive. I suggest plugging your cable directly into the computer and not use a USB hub at first.

Easiest solution that comes to mind is find someone with the same player. see if you load the drivers on your pc in a file if the you can load it as a new device and open it using drivers on your pc. Just a thought. then load the files back on the unit once you get access.

If the unit is not being recognized by your computer, try using one of the USB ports on the rear of your computer tower. If it still isn't recognized by your computer, unfortunately, it needs to be replaced. The unit can not be fixed. The warranty is 90 days from the date of purchase. You would need the receipt in order to receive a warranty replacement.

If you feel this solution doesn't deserve a good rating, please let me know why so that I may better assist you. If there is anything more I can do to help, I will!

I didn't have a problem accessing the flash memory of my Coby mp4 until I upgraded to Media Player 11. Now it recognizes the coby for what it is, but I can't explore the flash memory like I used to. It used to recognize it as another drive, now it shows up as a portable media device. Do I have to go back to MP10 to get it back or is there another way?

have you checked in "my computer"?
if you have then try resetting it in the back
hopefully that works

I lost the instructions and now I can record music in my 853.
