Computer say's its not connected

My computer say's it's not connected but it is and it still charges but when it is connected the screen freaks out now i can't add or delete music

    I have the same problem. When I plug the player in, I see it pops up
    and asks me if I wan't to look inside. I can't add or delete anything
    as it says it's not working or is unplugged. I had the player for a
    month and then it just started doing this. I can't use Windows Media
    Player because of my "ungenuine" windows software, so this seems to be
    a problem. I've uninstalled the software trough the Device Manager, but
    I couldn't find that USB tag described in the help post.

    Sorry for double-posting, but I forgot to add:



    I uninstalled the software, and then plugged the player in and it
    installed the needed software. Still it doesn't let me delete or add
    anything.

What i would recommend you to do is to uninstall the device and reinstall it back...tou uninstall it...assuming that you are running windows xpcomputer say's its not connected - 1.gif...click on start, right click on my computer and go to properties..you should have your system properties open then click under hardware1.gif then device manager...look for the sansa device..it usually located under portable device..if its not showing there i would recommend you to look for under disk drives1.gif and see if its there..right click on the device and click on uninstall...after you unintall it unplug your device from the computer and check to usb mode..it has to be under MTP mode or auto....after you check the mode open upcomputer say's its not connected - 1.gif windows media1.gif player click on tools, options and click under privacy...clear the history and caches...after you finish you can plug the device on the back of the computer not the front then windows should recongnize it and it should work properly..if that doesnt solve the problems upgrade your windows media player to 11 even though you have done that already..let me know the outcome...

Hope t

I just bought the camera and am trying to charge it. I am not getting an LED light but instead a blue screen that says "MSDC" in white letters. I have checked the battery and storage disk...

Are you charging it by plugging it into a computer? The "MSDC" you see usually means "Mass Storage Device Class", which basically means the computer is using the storage on the camera as a removable drive. This would usually happen when plugging a camera into the computer via USB. There is usually an AC adapter that comes with a camera, or a separate charger for just the battery. If there was no charger that came with it, the camera is probably still charging. If the camera is on, try turning it off and plugging it in. Remember, even if it shows "MSDC", it is probably still charging. Hope this helps!

IT DIDNT WORK N IM FREAKED OUT BECAUSE MY MOM JUST GOT IT FOR ME AND NOW I DNT KNOW WHAT TO DO.....PLEAS HELP ME!!!

If the player is new out of the box, it may need charging first. Connect the supplied USB cabe to the player and then connect the cable into the computer's USB port (boot up the computer first) and let it charge for approx. 6 hours.
The player should now work.

Zune Auto Reboot

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.

Wont go past starting screen PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Run the recovery tool from the SanDisk website. Make sure you select "format" when prompted. http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/Downloads/firmware/e200fw01.00.12.exe You need to put the device into "recovery mode" before you run the tool. - Turn the device off (hold power for 20 seconds) - Slide the hold switch into "hold" position. - Press and hold the "record" button while connecting it to your computer. Keep holding the "record" button until you see the "new hardware found" on your computer. Then run the recovery tool. Select format when prompted. FYI, if you are using music from Limewire or other P2P sites, they are to blame. They are usually poorly encoded and cause the device to freak out. Best of Luck.
