When your player is connected to your computer with the USB connector, you can use your computer file browser software to view all files on your player. Your player will appear as Sansa m230 or m240. Follow these steps:
1. Use the USB connector cable provided with your player to connect the USB port on the top of your player to an open USB port on your computer. The player will appear as a Windows Portable Device on your computer.
2. Delete your music files to the player with software tools like Rhapsody, Windows Media Player or Napster Client.

To transfer music from your computer to your player:
1. Use the USB connector cable provided with your player to connect the USB port on your player to an open USB port on your computer. The player will appear as a Windows Portable Device on your computer. (Can't find the USB port on your player? See The Basic Controls section on page 3.)
2. Drag and drop music files to the player from any location on your hard-drive

Syncing refers to software a program you have installed on your computer to use with a device.Don't expect i tunes or other programs to sync with another device.Install the program from SanDisks web site.Another way to load MP3 files is to attach the unit to your computer and open the drive on the unit,Drag and Drop to Drive or folders on drive .

Hi,
The size of a song which plays for just one and a half minutes will be 2 MB, but the free size which you have is 700kb. That's why it says that there is no room for files.

Once you connect to your computer it should appear as another driver if you checked in my computer. Once you see that drive, which will appear under a different name, for example if your hard disk appears as C drive, your cd driver appears as D or E drive then the mp3 player will appear as one character up, either F and so on. Right click or double click on it and browse the files there, your recording should be somewhere there. You can then copy and paste it on your computer, depending on whichever you want it to go to, say on your desktop or any other folders. Hope this helps, if you have any question please feel free to ask.Good luck.

Hi,
Just turn off the player and remove battery. After minutes re-insert your battery and play.

Hi!

Run anti virus. Connect your device to your pc and scan for virus. This might recover affected files.

Most usual virus attached with downloaded files activate on mp3 and mp4 and will hide all your files. The files will still be in there if you look for it as removable drive on your pc. It seems that folder where it was saves was in hidden mode.

I do suggest you reformat your player and download safe music files.]

Hope it helps

Yes, it's suported but you will have to install Microsoft Windows Media Player 10, which will install the MTP drivers for your mp3 player.

http://mp3support.sandisk.com/downloads/um/sansa-m200-um.pdf

let me know if you have further questions. I will respond as soon as possible.

See this tip posted here about this problem. >>>

May be you need to restart it mostly that is the problem.

You can download the driver from
http://www.sandisk.com/sandisk-support/driver-download-wizard

First try and reset the player.
1. Press and hold the Power/Menu button for approximately 20 seconds.
2. Release the Power/Menu button.
3. Press the Power/Menu button again to turn on the player.
If that does not work try this,
Remove the battery - Power cycle the player
1. Connect the device to the PC.
2. Leave the device connected for about 2 minutes.
Turn on the device
1. Disconnect the player from the PC.
2. Insert a fresh AAA battery into the player.
3. Turn on the player.

STEP 1 - Connect the device to the computer
1. Remove the battery from the player's battery compartment.
2. Put the hold/lock switch to lock.
3. Plug in your device to the computer.

STEP 2 - Format the device
1. Double-click My Computer.
2. Right-click on the player, which might show up as a Removable Drive, select Format.
3. Click Start.
4. Click OK when a "Format Complete" dialog appears.
5. Click Close.

This is a known issue for this model. Apparently, there was a batch of this model that was sent out faulty. Apparently there is no fix for this issue. But you can try this:

• If your Sansa m240 is currently frozen, please remove the battery (to unfreeze it), then put it back in, and connect it to your Windows XP computer.
• To format the Sansa m240 on your PC, connect the Sansa m240 to your computer on an USB port preferably located near the power hub or to an external self powered USB hub, go to My Computer, single right click on the Removable Disk associated with your Sansa m240, and select Format. Make sure that, under FILE SYSTEM, change FAT to FAT32, and then single left click Start. This will erase all data off the Sansa m240 and correct errors on it, which should make the Sansa m240 usable again. Doing this will erase everything in the player.
  

If these fail, contact Sansa.
