Empty folder "Music" SOLVED!

Greetings!

I, like a lot of Sansa Clip 2 GB owners, took the music files in my folder 'music' disappear (even if my reported clip 1.9 GB of files were still there!). I tried to switch modes USB, firmware, etc, without success (very frustrating) updates. Anyway, here's what FINALLY worked for me today:

In Windows XP (SP3):

(a) make right click 'my computer' / 'properties '.
(b) click on the tab "hardware".
"(c) click on Device Manager.
(d) expand the 'USB Bus controllers' tree
(e) right click on the USB controller that has the marking "yellow" (no driver)
(f) 'Update Driver' right-click option
(g) wait a few moments while it searches for the driver...

BOOM! At this point, I received the message:

"Windows Portable device MTP update". So now I have a new tree in my called Device Manager:

> Devices Windows Mobile
-SanDisk Sansa Clip

And now I see ALL my files in the 'Music' folder in any (auto-detect/MTP/MSC) USB mode!

I hope it works for you all too!

See you soon!

  • Empty folder "back" after that I erase it

    A few months ago, a friend downloaded some pictures on my laptop via bluetooth and saved in a regular folder in my documents. I tried to remove this folder several times but he returns. I also tried to empty the folder, and then delete it, but keeps the empty folder. I also tried to cut and paste the folder and remove it to a new location, but the folder still reappears in its original location. I even emptied the Recycle Bin, but no luck. I don't know what to do! As it comes to my laptop I'm the admin and I 'permission' to do something.

    Try using the free product to remove the folder.  Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml.  Sometimes this program of work where the normal Vista programs is not.  It's worth a shot.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    I'm under XP_SP3 with Firefox 8.0.1. I had an empty folder on my desktop called "D E M O" I used to use for downloads. I moved to another HD on my system and removed from the desktop computer.
    Now, any moment I DL EVERYTHING type of file with Firefox, the folder reappears on the desktop as soon as I hit him file, save as. I tested this out with IE6. IE6 does not re-create the folder.

  • Hello. I created a folder music on my external hard drive connected to my asus router.  I can now access the music through my media library.  How can I change the folder when I make new purchases to iTunes easily without doing it one by one

    I created a folder music on an external hard drive connected to my asus router.  I copied my music from my iTunes library in this folder access and can now my kodi media network.  How I updated the folder when I do new iTunes purchase without having to do it one by one thanks

    You can use a backup tool that updates only modified files.  You don't say what kind of computer you use.

    ITunes is actively using media on the external hard drive so you can replace it. Simply copy the media to one other player does not have iTunes it use it.  iTunes is probably still using media to your internal drive.

  • Help: I can remove bookmarks using 'Organize Favorites', but cannot get rid of the empty folder.

    Using 'Organize bookmarks' I can delete individual bookmarks, but when I try to remove the empty folder, the "Delete" option is grayed out.

    The folder in which you are trying to delete?

    In the left pane of the library (bookmarks > organize bookmarks) there are three main files in the folder "All bookmarks" ("Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu", "Unsorted Bookmarks").
    You cannot delete these main folders.

    * The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
    * The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
    * The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores that bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.

  • Can I delete my folder "music" once that my music has been added to iTunes?

    I just make the switch from a PC to a Mac and I'm currently putting all upward. As someone who has never used iTunes before that I have a simple question:

    I had a music collection of reasonable size on my PC in a folder called "music". I copied this entire folder on a hard drive external and then pasted on my new iMac tab music in the finder. Then I started iTunes and added the majority (but not all) of the music in the folder "music" from my iTunes library. Am I right in thinking that iTunes actually another copy of all my music in the iTunes folder, which means that I now duplicated a lot of music? If he made a copy, can I now delete the folder "music" original? I took care until I copied it all from my PC that all of my pieces is in MP3 format only, not WMA at all.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Am I right in thinking that iTunes actually another copy of all my music in the iTunes folder, which means that I now duplicated a lot of music?

    If you have the default settings, the answer is probably yes.  To be sure, right-click any track in iTunes, choose 'Show in Finder', and you will see what copy of a song file iTunes uses.

    If you have another copy of the song file, iTunes didn't need, and you can remove at your discretion.

  • Adding folder music iTunes

    I created a folder of compilation of songs of Christmas favorite on my pc, the problem I have is that when I try to drag the folder in my folder music in itunes so I can sync with my Iphone 4 it copies all of the individual tracks and not the actual file. I even tried to add folder via the drop down file menu.

    Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm tired of having to remove tracks whenever I try to add the folder!

    Hello UKmexicano,

    Looks like you have a folder with the music that you want to add to your iTunes library to sync to your iPhone, but follows the individual rather than the folder with the added titles. This is expected behavior since the only folders in iTunes can contain playlists. However, you can create a playlist on your iTunes library with the following article, to which you can add the contents of your folder:

    12 iTunes for Windows: create a playlist

    When that is created, open the playlist in iTunes and do slide the pieces inside while they are all grouped together in a single playlist which you can then sync on your iPhone.

    Keep this in mind though:

    Windows: default, adding items to your iTunes library places a pointer for each file in the iTunes folder. the original file remains in its current location. For more information about copying files in the iTunes folder instead of creating pointers to them, see change where your iTunes files are stored. If the file is a non-protected WMA file and you have the Windows Media Player 9 series or later installed, iTunes performs a copy of the file and adds it to your iTunes library. The original WMA file remains unchanged. You can't add protected WMA files or WMV files to iTunes.

  • The Windows 7 Explorer displays the file as empty but empty folder properties is not

    Hello, I'm trying to delete empty folders from my computer. I am running Windows 7 Professional, and my user account is an administrator and the user account only on the computer.

    When I use Windows Exlporer to navigate to the folder, it seems empty: "this folder is empty". But if I navigate back to the parent and then right-click on the folder and select properties it shows: "contains: 1 file, 0 folders" or for some records: "Contains: 2 files, 0 folders. Even when I run on the DIR of CMD file.

    I have hidden files and folders checked to display and I have checked that I am the owner of the folder.

    Any ideas?

    One more step. I found another option in Windows Explorer: "Hide protected files of the operating system (recommended)". Just in case where you need help to find this option:

    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. If not display the menu (file, edition, view, tools, help) options, click ALT
    3. Click on tools
    4. Select folder options...
    5. Click the view tab
    6. Untick: Hide the protected files (recommended) operating system

    You can now see and search for files hidden, protected from the operating systems such as Thumbs.db.

    I use fast empty folder of http://listeningpc.com Finder to find and remove empty folders.

    Hope this helps someone else.
