Problem with Sansa m240 1GB

How to unblock the player? I have copied songs on this player, and when it was over, I disconnected the player from computer first and then from USB cable. I was waiting when it have shown me the sign "Rebuilding Library. Please wait", but it was too long, I think about 5 minutes, then I have replaced the battery from player and I can't restart it. When I switch it on, it shows me only SANSA m240 1.0GB and nothing else. When I plug it on my PC, writes me "initializing" but nothing happens. How to unblock the player or how to restore it? I've tried to upgrade firmware, but it doesn't communicate with PC, so FW update appl. doesn't see it. Please HELP. Thank you!

What does it mean when the player says bad track for your songs?

this means that the player cannot play the selected file or song. it might be due to a bad conversion or the player not being able to recognize your song's format.
also, it could be that you disconnected it from your pc before the file was completely copied and as a result the file was not properly copied and that makes it more of an invalid file.
you could try re-converting the file or downloading a fresh copy and see if it does the same thing for the song
hope this helped you? please rate

Empty Song Folder - I followed the instructions from the quick start guide to to load music onto my sansa clip 1gb mp3 player and it shows that it copied it to my player but once I disconnect the usb from...

The songs are in the wrong format. They probably have a restrictive DRM license that limits playback on mp3 players (although the songs may play fine on your computer). iTunes format will not work at all. The best way to avoid a problem like this is to only use songs that are in mp3 format.

Synchronize songs to Sansa c250

newtech -change the USB mode on the player away from where it is now. Turn on then press and hold the rewind button while plugging to the PC.

darama - you have to plug the mp3 player into the computer and refresh it through Bearshare. If you let your subscription lapse, you won't be able to use the songs naymore.

These are the most common methods for recovering Sandisk's Sansa Mp3 Players. I have been almost universally successful in recovering Sansa players using one or a combination of these methods. These methods do not work if you are having synchronization or music format issues - they are for recovering a player that will not power up, freezes, flashes, is not recognized by the computer, and a host of other issues.

Reset the Sansa Player first. On most models, restart is done by holding the power button in for 15 seconds or longer. Check your specific manual to be sure. The manuals are available from the Sansa website if they have been misplaced.
Download the Sansa Recovery Tool from the Sansa website.
Format - Erases Everything: Connect your Sansa player to the computer and open Windows Media Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "Sansa 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select "Format." - this should erase everything.
Firmware Upgrade- Erases Everything: Get the latest firmware upgrade from Sansa - it updates the firmware and erases every song in the player all at once. Note: this method doesn't work if already have the latest firmware. Go to this website and click "Firmware Updater" to find out: http://www.sandisk.com/DriverDownload/driverList.asp
If these fail, then:
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.
If you get the problem where MTP Device keeps popping up continuously, uninstall the “MTP Device” by going to Start à Control Panel àSystem à Hardware à Device Manager (you computer may vary slightly, depending on Windows Version).
You may have to restart your computer after each of these methods to get them to work properly. Disconnect your Sansa player BEFORE shutting down your computer.

Music not synchronized

Try going to the actual file the music is in on your computer, then right click Send To sansa 250. If that doesn't work look on the options menu for USB mode and change it, that works on my 280.

The media device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected

Make sure you're not using the media with another program while you attempt to copy/sync it to your device.

Pretty late response, but meh.

Sansa not saving songs?

If you are using Windows Media Player, or Rhapsody to manage your music. You need to have a copy on your PC in order to keep it on the device. If you want to manually manage your music thru My Computer ( like a removable disc ), you dont have to have a copy on your PC. Best of Luck.
