SanDisk Sansa c150 MP3 Player - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Sounds like you formatted your MP3 using windows explorer....in that case you need to reinstall the firmware on the device and once you do that...you should be able to transfer the songs to the device...

In that case I would recommend you to upgrade the firmware on the device...usually that solve the problems you are having...if you still having the same problem, try to see if sandisk can send you a different device....

You have to make sure that you have service pack 2 install in your computer...and also i would recommend you to get the latest windows media player upgrade...The upgrade should contains the driver you need for your device...

First make sure your hold switch isn't on. It's on the top and slides back and forth. It needs to be switched to the left. If it is to the left, here's how you reset:

You can reset your ipod by holding down the menu and select (round button in the center) buttons down for at least 10 seconds. You'll see an apple logo flash, that's when you stop pressing the buttons. It will shut off, then back on.

I haven't run into this problem but try this, it might help...

First open your mp3 player and go to settings. Under the USB menu change it to MSC. Then plug in the mp3 player to the computer. Open the My Computer on your desktop, right click on the Sansa mp3 player and click Format. Make sure Fat32 is checked and Quick format is UNchecked. Then format the mp3 player. After that it should be clean and work just like a USB drive.

Hope this helps!

I have an easy and painless way to do this.

First open your mp3 player and go to settings. Under the USB menu change it to MSC. Then plug in the mp3 player to the computer. Open the My Computer on your desktop, right click on the Sansa mp3 player and click Format. Make sure Fat32 is checked and Quick format is UNchecked. Then format the mp3 player. After that it should be clean and work just like a USB drive.

Hope this helps.

You can start by opening My Computer and double clicking on your sansa player. From there you should be able to navigate through your mp3 player. Once you've found the video recording you can right-click on it and hit copy, then go to your desktop and right-click again and hit paste. Your audio-recording will then be on your desktop.

i have a problem that sounds similar to yours. i tried 2 things and it seemed to get better: 1) put the volume on 'loud' mode (under settings menu) 2) try using a higher bitrate for your mp3s. i changed from 128 to 192 and the sounds seemed to get better. let me know if that helps you or if you have anything else to try.

change your usb settings to MSC, perform the delete, and change back.

Key lock means the HOLD switch is on.

Slide it the other way.




Best of Luck.

Try updating the firmware;

Please RATE my solution BELOW.

Go to saidapet kothvalchetti road near the fish market, there is a right beside it take the first right then the first left and then agin the first right. Now you would have reached the same place where you started. Then you can go back home cause i am just joking.

Do you have a subscription with Rhapsody or Napster?

If so, you need to log in for them to update your account, which will solve it.

If not, did you use your own music from CD's? Did you use Windows Media Player to copy the music to the computer? Did you change the default settings in Windows Media Player?

If so, the default settings for WMP are to "copy protect my music", which will give you this error. You will need to change the RIP Music settings in WMP. Tools>Options> un-check the copy protect my music option. You will then need to delete all the music you previously copied to the device and ti your PC an copy them again with theis new setting in place.

Finally, if you have the "Rhapsody" version, there is pre-loaded music on it that if not deleted, will cause this problem. You can format the device to remove the pre-loaded music, or manually delete it from the System folder.

Please add to the question if that didnt work.

You can Right Click on the c150 in My Computer and select FORMAT.

This will erase all data on the device, but not the O/S.

I think you palyer is in "hold" mode. You could see a slide button at the bottom of the player which has hold option. You just need to keep it in "Mic" option. Hope this would work.

hi
    Are u able to see the Sansa player detected under mycomputer
or whether is it getting detected under device manager. once i tried connecting sansa device in msc mode it got detected under device manager so i was able to reinstall its driver u can also try that
also respond to my email address at [email protected]

• nevermind.
• i just figured out if you format the thing over and over it's good as new.!

Press and hold the volume up + key and the select button to perform a "hard reset" Best of Luck.

Try connecting it to the computer without the battery. If it shows up, format it. My Computer>Sansa c150>Right click and select format. If that doesnt work, you will need to call Technical Support for a firmware "rollback". SanDisk Technical Support 1-866-726-3475 Best of Luck.

You may need a recovery disk. Was there not one with the mp3 itself? Good luck anyway!
