Question about SanDisk Sansa View 8GB MP3 Player - Black

1 Answer

Not recognizing device

I read your other responses and although mine is similar I have an additional issue. When I plug in my SanDisk, it will charge, but isn't recognized by my computer. I went to uninstall it, but it doesn't even show up in the Device Manager. Any suggestions?

    I use Vusta & Windows Media Player(WMP) 11. Sometimes the computer makes a sound and the system tray shows that a device search is happening. But neither the windows explorer or WMP recognize the mp3.

    What version of windows do you have? What version of windows media player? When you plug in your device, does your computer make any sounds like something is connected?

I bought a 4 gig SanDisk Adapter micro SD, micro SDHC. my Acer Aspire will not recognize the card, i've tried the switch both ways multiple times. how can i get my PC to recognize the card?
My reader will not read mine either. I use a usb key card reader. It used to read the regular old SD cards but the new HC card format wont work. This is due to UDF differences. You can try to reformat the card but then your camera or device may not recognize it anymore. good luck

Hello - computer recognizes the Cruzer sandisk however it won't open or run LaunchU3.
If you are using Windows.
Open the Windows explorer.
Plug the device in a USB port and wait for the computer to recognize it. After it is recognized the Windows Explorer will show two additional icons, one of them a CD-ROM.

Click the icon with the CD-ROM, and it will execute the U3 operating system. A small yellow icon with a U3 label will appear on the task bar. Right-click the icon on task bar and select the "Open U3 Launchpad". Point to the Settings button on the right side.
Right click that button and select the U3 LaunchPad settings

In the window that pop up point to "Autorun" button and click it.

Click the button that will say Enable.
After that it will launch automatically whenever the device is recognized by a computer.

If the U3 launchPad is missing from the device you can download it from the SanDisk site. Here is the link. Download it and install it on your computer. Note:It does not launch on MacProducts or Linux.

I have a sansa e260 and it connects and charges on computer and program can be located but computer is not reading that it is connected so can't sync it. Can you help? Thanks. Michele
I found another complaint similar to mine and someone had posted a solution, which also worked on my daughter's Sansa e 260.
I went to settings, then usb mode and selected MSC instead of MTP and computer instantly recognized the hardware and I could sync her music for her! Can't remember name of person who'd posted solution, but thanks heaps!

My sandisk c240 charges when plugged in but fails to be recognized on the computer
There is quite possibly a problem with the USB cable or the USB port on the computer, but try this shortcut force to force the computer to recognize the Mp3 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

Selection/Volume Wheel won't select anything when turning, how to clean or repair? Selection/Volume wheel turns and pressing in 4 quadrants stops, starts, advances as it's supposed to but turning it doesn't control volume or select files to play. Will cleaning the contact(s) on this wheel solve the problem and if so, how is the back of the player safely removed to access the control?
