Sansa E280 going to update the database when it is connected to the computer

Hello

Just at the moment where I was getting things straightened on my drive and everything was working fine, I plugged my E280 on my computer and it says "Refresh database" on the player and my computer does not see the E280.

I've been looking around on the forum, and there are so many different options to try (of: delete the SYSTEM folder, which I was told not; to turn off the drive and engaging the hold button and the button to rewind when connecting to the computer, etc., which I tried ~ nothing; take off Firmware and put one on; do something in Recovery Mode) , which I have no idea how do; etc.).  Sorry, but I hope you get my point... What do I do?

Thanks for any help once more.

Thank you clu31355.  I tried the very first thing that you said ' put in operation and allow it to update the database (if desired) before you connect. "and voila - it worked.

These Sansas seem to be quite ticklish - who knows what will happen?

  • Sansa e280 v2 dilemma - have the last firmware update

    Here's something I didn't know.  I use the USB - MSC mode and try to sync to the computer - I no longer receive a screen that gives me the possibility of "non-action" with the red circle and line through it.  I used to be able to copy / paste of my C drive on drive E to download music.  Now, I get a screen that gives me the option to open with Explorer, win media, acrobat from adobe, wordpad, etc., which none do let me open the Sansa to copy and paste as I used to do.

    I tried the trick of the hold and touch start up rew button.  The computer recognizes the sansa as drive E and F as a flash drive (even if it is that nothing installed as a reader of F).  Quite confusing.  Most would appreciate some tricks of the trade...

    Tapeworm... it was the auto run after all settings.  Problem solved.  MUCHAS gracias!

  • Sansa e280: multiple paths to the devices during the synchronization and no MUSIC file

    Feature: Sandisk Sansa e280 8G

    version: 01.02.24A

    I had a problem with my e280. A month ago, I started getting an error message during playback of my music files. The error says "Syncronize to continue music subscription" I have synced to my computer, nothing helps. Soon ALL my music files were giving me this error message. I went on the Sansa website, where I was directed to download and run the device Sansa Recovery Console. I did as instructed, and now when I join my e280, I get TWO paths of devices (E: / and F: /). I am only able to access one of them (E: /). F: / is noted as removable drive and not going anywhere. When I enter in E: / I can not find my music files. When I remove my camera, he did a restart of automatic system, as soon as the restart was successful, it updates the database for about 10 minutes. I synced the device and my computer prompted me to format the device. I formatted and I still no MUSIC file. The device has been wiped and I thought it would be best to seek professional help until I made the situation worse.

    If there is any other information needed to tell me what it is and, in the worst case scenario, how to find and I'll post it as soon as POSSIBLE. I know it's a lot of problems for a single device, but any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you for your time,

    Unless you are dealing with the Rhapsody subscription service, the error message "sync" is probably due to problems, DRM , Windows Media Player created without your knowledge. It is turned on by default in WMP, & unless you know about it from the start, you can do it yourself untold headaches.

    If you are ripping from CD to the .wma format, uncheck the option 'Copy protect' in the rip settings tab. It's the guy causing the problem. If you do not rip your own CD and downloading these songs instead, they have a DRM encryption. Try a different and/or source format. MP3 files don't have any crippling DRM.

    You must delete the files on the drive and start over with new, best non - DRM. If RIP you to .mp3 format, it won't be a problem, more there are other benefits on the Microsoft/WMP .wma format.

    When connected in MSC mode, your computer will detect your drive as just another flash storage device; actually 2 separate devices. 1 will be your drive (internal memory). In your case, E:. F: received the external memory card slot, if there is a card in it or not. If you have no card in the slot, that's why he 'not going anywhere '. Perfectly natural and nothing bad here.

    The MUSIC folder (and others) are hidden by default. You have to display .

    Formatting will erase all content, so this is only necessary performed as a last resort. It's a PITA to re - load it all so that you do not want to unless it is absolutely necessary. But now that yours is formatted, you can start over w/o of the DRM BS and your problems should go away.

    I had your exact the same problem. You can read in the thread I started. I pasted the answer that worked for me here.

    c1u31355

    Download Windows Media Player 10 or 11 from www.microsoft.com and reinstall it. This usually fixes things. Next step, but only if this does not work, is to get the "MTP Porting Kit" from Microsoft and install it.

    Let us know if those who help or not.

    Method 1

    I suggest that reset you the default Windows Update components and later try to install updates.

    Also check out the article below and try the steps

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest you temporary disable the security software installed on the computer and install 5 updates at a time, to check if it helps.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    The battery is dead. Free of charge.

    Leave the appliance to charge 2-3 hours and then, always toujours relie connected to the USB cable, remove the battery from the camera a few seconds and plug it back. If it starts - let - the charges to 100% (check the Options > status for the percentage).

    If it does not start - try using a wall charger if you're not. If you are connected via USB to the computer, make sure that you have Desktop Manager (or USB device drivers), you can download it below.

    Make sure that your USB cable is connected to one of the main rear USB ports of the PC. A USB hub, or USB Monitor port not a USB port on the front of the PC.

    Here's some good advice from loading, please read and you will see that many of them will be applicable to you.
