Need directions for a SanDisk

Chrome book and Linux do not generally support MTP mode used by MP3 players. You need to switch to MSC mode using the m240 settings menu, See:
http://mp3support.sandisk.com/downloads/um/sansa-m200-um.pdf
on page 30.

Put the book in the music folder. It is Mp3 same as any music and the player should pick it up.

Hello,

Tranferring songs from iTunes to the m240 needs to be done in mp3 format. iTunes music in aac format should be converted to mp3.

Hello,
Here's a page showing links how to reconnect the player to the MAC Operating System and how to use iTunes for the e200 series:

When the firmware on the player has been erased, a download and reinstallation of the firmware has to be performed.

The Sansa Firmware Updater can only be used on Windows based systems: So get the firmware directly from this site : http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board?board.id=e200
Check the version of your player to get the matching download.

e.g. selecting e200 v2 there's one download for America; 2 downloads for Europe, one without FM (radio) and one with FM.
Read the instructions on the sandisk forums site for the players recovery.

Go to Sandisk's website and get a clean version of the software - the player will not work properly without it.

There isn't software, because the software is not Mac-compatible. Sorry.

Change the usb mode to AUTO, and all will be visible again (unless your songs are in the wrong format)

when using a mac, u have to make sure the player is in msc. then you can drag music directly to it.

Hello ROBRICH28,

There are at two ways to have this resolved, one may sound a bit extreme. If you can it may help to dual boot your mac with a windows operating system as the Sansu units do not have native Mac support.

Otherwise Sandisk has a forum set up for their customers to assist with technical problems. You should be able to find a solution if you search for "Mac" at http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/

I hope this helps

Go Ahead. Use Us.

The installation disk works only with PCs. The Mac is not supported by Sandisk. The e280 will work with some Macs though and only in the MSC mode. My e280v1 works with my Powerbook and my e280v2 works with my wife's I-Book. Both are running OS 10.4.11
