Coby MP3 Player not recognized on laptop Windows 7

I got a Coby MP3 player a few months ago, and managed to install the software and put music on it with no problems. This morning I plugged it in to the USB port and left it to charge with the laptop open all afternoon. Tonight, I came back hoping to add some music to it, but when I oped Coby Media Manager, it is telling me the device is not plugged in. I have unplugged it and replugged it, unplugged it and rebooted the computer, plugged it into different USB ports, but nothing changes. It charged fully, so I know the USB cord is working. And I plugged in my camera, and that worked fine, so I know the USB port is working. So now I'm at a loss. If anyone can help, I could really appreciate it!

Hi. Please confirm that the device shows up under 'Computer' as a Removable Disk drive (disregard CMM) for the time being. If it doesn't and it still does not recognize, most like it is indeed the cable. Yes, the cable could function other devices but that usually is the issue, it doesnt give a good enough connect to our MP3 players. Also, laptops have an option to disable the USB power to conserve battery, so that also seems to interfere.

SOURCE: 2nd Gen IPOD nano dead batt.,not recogn.by computer or itunes

dont bother replacing the battery on your own or through a 3rd party because it most likely is the firm ware and apple will charge you a flat fee regardless of the issue. i have the same issue with my ipod, except that it would hold a charge for days before i tried to update it and had my computer die before it finished. now it tries to boot up over and over.

SOURCE: Computer does not recognize Coby MP822 4G MP3 player

The actual MP3 player should display a USB connection on the screen, if not, I would say its a connection issue (bad USB cable), my guess is your using a laptop, a lot of laptops disable their USB power options, you probably need to re-enable your USB ports, if desktop, it should show a USB connection on MP3, if not, battery or cable issue.

Windows 7 will not recognize my COBY 705 4-G.

For every thing you want to connect to an USB connector, you FIRST have to install the software. Most of the time the software comes on a disk in the package or there is a link on paper, you have to use to get the software.
In the software is a driver, so the device is recognised by the computer (drivers for different computers must be included) and then there is software so you can manage the device from your computer.
Please read the manual before you start installing. And check what computer is needed.

I can not get the media manager for it to bring up music. Also, should I download a WMA for it to convert. Mine says on the packaging to download the Coby Media Manager but it came with no software. Not...

Coby Media Manager is embedded on the MP3 player. When the MP3 player is connected to your PC, that is all it will say is 'USB Connected'. To access the coby media manager, go to Start > Computer > It will be a 'Removable Disk' drive, double click it, inside of there will be a coby-mediamanager.exe file, this is the software, double click it to install it. It will put an ICON on your desktop, this software is what you use to sync music, photo or video to your MP3 player. If you need the Coby Media Manager - you can downlod from here: http://www.cobyusa.com/files/software/MP707_Media_Manager.zip
