I have the exact same problem. Apple says it's because the Mac is still trying to read the device. Not compatible and told me to just get an Ipod. When I do disconnect the Sony, sometimes it wipes out my entire library of songs already on the device. I'm to the point that I won't even connect it to my mac because I am afraid of losing all my songs. Any advice would be appreciated.

2. Restart the computer.
3. Connect the iPod to the computer.
4. Select Install Drivers Later on the dialog that appears.
5. Hold down the Windows Key and press R.
6. Type devmgmt.msc and click OK.
7. Right-click Apple Mobile Device listed under Other Devices and then select Properties.
8. Select Browse...
9. Point it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support and click OK.
The install should finish and your iPhone should now be all good.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, try this:
Open iTunes and connect the iPod to your PC or Mac.
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake
button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a

If you're trying to connect your device to your system, please be advised that Philips GoGear HDD6330 MP3 Player is not compatible with Mac systems. The disk utility will not see it as a mountable driver.
from what ive found a lot of mac users have problems using that player with mac so more than likely no its not compatable they might make an update for it later but not as of yet sorry
Your was Creative brought with its own software, wasn't it? Well, this software isn't compatible with Mac. However, you can use a free app so you can still use your creative. http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/
The HDD1830 is not Mac compatible. The database file has probably been deleted or corrupted. The player doesn't scan the hard disk on start-up, it only read the database file. Anything it doesn't read from the database file is ignored.
You will need to restore the player with the Philips Device Manager, and re-load your tracks.
Not MAC compatible - you can try plugging the player in, and see if it shows up as "internal," but it's not guaranteed to work, and the software is definitely NOT compatible.
Either the device is bad, the pc port is bad, or the software is faulty. Try connecting to different usb port, then a usb port on a different pc with a compatible os. If still not recognized, then there is physical damage to player.
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware. Wizard.
