Sandisk e260 is frozen

Just close it if you dont want WMP. IF what you mean is i dont know how to download songs then go to The SYNC tab on WMP but first make sure you are using WMP11 or Higher. After clicking the SYnc tab then Drag the song files to the empty spot below the playyers picture and clik The Load Songs button or Synchronize button. Hope this helpsl

Try using WMP or explorer to transfer songs

The sansa e260 seems to have a hell of alot of faults. If SanDisk brings out a firmware upgrade definately take it, also I would strongly suggest that you write a letter to ScanDisk letting them know the grief it has caused you. I have an e260 and it has not had any problems so far, so I guess theres a little give or take sorta thing happening here.

you may be able to pull the battery which will reset it. It does require disassembly of the device to do and you should be able to google search it to find disassembly help. Check the users guide for help too it cant hurt

You must use windows media player10 or newer. Add music to your library, plug in your sansa then go to sync tab in media player, there will be a button saying sync list. select all music.
And away you go..........

Did you use Windows Media Player to format?

WMP never does a thorough format.

If so, try formatting thru My Computer. Right Click on the Device (e260) and select FORMAT.

Then try transferring your music again.



Best of Luck.

hold down the on button on the bottom left hand side, keep holding it till the sansa turns itself off.  After its turned off switch it back on, ive had the same message up many times 

Try holding the power button for 20 seconds to hard reset the device. Then try turning it back on. If that doesnt solve it, youll need to do the following. Run the recovery tool from the SanDisk website. Make sure you select "format" when prompted. http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/Downloads/firmware/e200fw01.00.12.exe You need to put the device into "recovery mode" before you run the tool. - Turn the device off (hold power for 20 seconds) - Slide the hold switch into "hold" position. - Press and hold the "record" button while connecting it to your computer. Keep holding the "record" button until you see the "new hardware found" on your computer. Then run the recovery tool. Select format when prompted. Best of Luck.

To reset the player hold in the power button for at least 20 seconds, when you release the button the player should restart on it's own. If it doesn't then try again holding the power button for a little longer. If for some reason the player becomes unstable and resetting doesn?t resolve the issue, then try the Sansa Connect Recovery Tool which will clean up your player and restore it to factory settings. You can download this tool & get instructions on it's use on the following link: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1532 Please update the question & let us know if the information given was useful to you - Good Luck!
