The mac and the mp3 player

I have a mac and I was given an ilo mp3 player. No icon shows up on my desktop when I hook up the USB cable. The mp3 player tells me that the USB cable is connected. Where am I going wrong?

Try plugging the USB cable into the port on the back of the computer, not on the keyboard USB. I had the same problem until I switched plugs

When i turn it on it just shows the ILO symbal and flashes

Hello.

In order to fix Your iLO Mp3 Player please follow these steps:

  1. Please connect the player to a rear USB port on the computer. The display should show “USB Connected”. (If not, please press the power button.)
  2. Please make sure that all unused programs and applications are closed. You can close the applications by closing as many of the icons in the lower right hand corner (by the clock) as possible.
    Download the Firmware.
  3. Click Open to initiate the download.
  4. Double click on the ILO or Siren folder icon. There will be 14 icons.
  5. There will be a Setup icon that looks like a box with a blue line on it; please double click on this.
    Then click Run - this will open the Install Wizard.
  6. The Install Wizard has the instructions on the screen as you go through it.
    Once the firmware has installed, please click the Start menu, then Programs.
  7. Look for the icon that says ILO or Siren, and then double click the Firmware Update to install to the player. Depending on how severe the corruption to the firmware on the player is, you might have to do this step 2 or 3 times in order for it to completely repair the firmware.

Additional Tip: The player itself requires a lot of power while flashing the firmware. We suggest disconnecting all USB devices from the computer except the MP3 player and mouse; you can reconnect your keyboard once the firmware has been flashed.

Good Luck.

If the program fails to find the ilo and gives you an error like, "Device Timeout" or something similar, you need to reinstall the ilo drivers.

(Remove it, restart the computer, and then install it again). 
Although, plugging it into a new USB port is the fastest and easiest option.
If your player won't even turn on, follow these instructions first and then those above:
First, remove the battery. While this isn't necessary to get the player into recovery mode, it insures the unit will not power on before the cable is inserted. 
On the ilo, hold the "Power" button down while inserting the USB cable. Continue holding the power button down for 5 seconds more after the cable is inserted. The backlight on the ilo will remain off during this time, making the screen appear to be blank.
