My Sansa Clip won't work. When I turn it on it says: Not enough space for music DB Please free 30 MB. But when i connect it to my computer it doesn't register. PLEASE HELP ME

Because you drag 7 drop songs or files too much into the sansa clip in MSC mode, it causes like that.
Turn it on, it will show " Not enough.....free 30 MB", and then automatically turn off. Plug it into pc, open my computer, it will be under name "Sansa clip..." or "removable disk ". If your pc does not recognize it, unplug again and replug it.
Open Sansa Clip..., or removable disk, and delete some songs.
Good luck

My computer does not recognize my sansa clip

font.f1 {font: 12.0px Times} Hello and thanks for contacting FixYa Technical Support.

Anytime there is an issue where your Sansa clip is not recognized by your computer, run the firmware update for your version of Operating system (Windows, Mac or Linux)

Firmware is software for the hardware itself, so if there is a case, where the hardware connecting via a USB port like your Sansa clip is not recognizing, going to the manufacturer's website and updating the firmware for their specific product you purchased, is a step in the right direction.

For your benefit, I have provided the link to the Sansa Support page, where you can download and install the most current firmware update for your Sansa Clip.
Download Sansa Firmware Updater

Also, for regular operation of your Sansa clip, make sure you are following these steps for use of this device:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turn on the Clip
Put the device in Hold (move Hold button until orange is showing)
Press and hold the Center Button
Plug the mini-USB connector into the device (be sure the USB is plugged into the computer)
Wait for the Clip drive to mount
Follow instructions below and drag files to the Clip drive

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me know if this helps.

Regards,

-Mactechtrainer

I left my Sansa Clip MP3 Player plugged in while putting my laptop into hibernation. Now player does not response, I can't turn it on, and laptop doesn't recognize it at all.

Step 1 Turn Sansa Clip on. Press the "Menu" (Home) button on the Sansa Clip.
Step 2 Press the bottom of the scroll wheel until you reach the "Settings" screen. Push the center button to choose "Settings."
Step 3 Scroll down to "Reset All," and select. You will be asked to confirm the reset. Select "Yes." This option will simply allow you to reset the language and location settings on your Sansa Clip. It will not erase data from the clip. To do a complete factory restore, follow steps 4 and 5.
Step 4 In the "Settings" menu, scroll down until you reach "Format" and then select. You will be asked to confirm if you wish to format. Select "Yes."
Step 5 Wait for the screen to say "Formatting Complete." You have now cleared all the files from your Sansa Clip and reset it to factory settings.
Step 1 Unfreeze a frozen Sansa Clip by pushing the power button up and holding it for 20 seconds. Release it, and then turn it on again.
Step 2 Go to the Sansa website and download the "Sansa Firmware Updater."
Step 3 Select "Run" when the updater installs. (Installation will take less than two minutes.)
Step 4 Wait for the Sansa Firmware Updater to run through its system test. It will ask you to connect the Sansa Clip to the computer to update your Sansa's software.
Step 5 Connect the Sansa Clip and then remove it from the computer when instructed. If this process does not unfreeze your Sansa Clip, contact Sansa support at the Sansa Firmware Updater website.

MY SANSA CLIP MP3 PLAYER 2 GB

please check on the backlight settings on the "system set" in the Menu, make sure you have a value in there, but if in case the Sansa itself does not seem to be turning on, the check on the battry if it is charged / overcharged. if you have checked on this area and you had the same issue, then you may want to check on the Backlight or the LEDs of your player, better if you consult the warranty of the player before opting to open theunit up by yourself.

hope this helps.

Sansa Clip does not show up on computer

I had the same problem all you've got to do is first turn on the sansa clip.Then go to settings. After that scroll down to USB mode (second from bottom) then it woul probably say auto detect. Scroll down to MSC then hit enter. If that doesn't work try MTP mode.
