Sansa Updater for Sansa Express - can we trust?

Last October, I found myself "bricking" my Sansa Express while trying to update its firmware.  Fortunately I got it back working, but it took several hours of poring over forums and trying different things.  Today, while a few new songs to the Sync feature, a window appears telling me that there is an update available.  Can I trust him and how do I know what are the potential benefits of the update?

Let me rephrase my question, then - that the installation of the latest version of the firmware has improved...

and what are the benefits/bug fixed in the latest version of the firmware?

As I suggested before, read the Release Notes in the post that I linked to.

If I have the same problem of upgrade in October for no real benefit, I stick wth the current versison.

It is very possible that you already have the latest version, see how the latest updated for this model is 4 years old now. If you are less than a year ago, you have already installed this version. Check f/w on your Player version to confirm.

    Greetz

    If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

    • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
    • Install the new version you downloaded

    Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

  • Sansa Express 1 GB is not using MTP

    A few years back my Sansa Express 1 GB worked as a MTP device.  Then, last year, my PC died and I replaced it.  Then, this year I had to reinstall my Windows XP Pro SP3 and my Sansa Express 1 GB now appears as a USB key instead.

    I can't the Sansa of new MTP device?

    I found the solution to my problem!  To get any MP3 player to work as a device MTP of Windows XP, you MUST install Windows Media Player 10 before the update for Windows Media Player 11.  If you do not, MTP Protocol will not install and the MTP Protocol is not available as a separate download.

  • Sansa Express: FM Radio Tuner

    Hello

    I bought 2 Sansa Express 2 GB MP3 players.  I can't find the voice recorder Radio to a player, only music, FM tuner and parameters.

    Could someone help me please?

    Kind regards

    I managed to get a player with the correct firmware update and now the FM radio works fine.  However the player SE which was originally the FM radio is not recognized by my computer.  Turn on the player, only one answer is the construction of data base until it stops.  No luck by applying one of the suggestions in this forum.  Think it must be returned or hammered unrecognizable. :-(

  • MicroSD - "Drive is not formatted" after taking on sansa express

    Here's my problem.

    I have a kingston 1gig microSD card.

    I use a card reader and add songs to the card.

    I insert the card into the sansa express. Sansa reads the card very well, the songs are there.

    But when I remove the microSD card and plug my card to the reader to add more songs it says that "the drive is not formatted" and I need to format it in until I can use it!

    http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/1629/formez4.jpg

    This means that I have to erase everything that card and readd all the songs.

    The sansa express did something to the microSD card. It makes it unreadable when I connect it to my pc?

    Any fix for that?

    I found the problem.

    It was the * beep * kingston brand.

    Looks like sansa dislikes the kingstons.

    I bought a transcend 4 GB sdhc micro, and the problem disappeared.

    In fact, when I insert the chip in the sansa and plug the sansa I also get a drive for the micro sd card (it didn't happen with the kingston), in other words this thing doubles as a sdhc reader.

    But I had to format the chip with my other player sdhc first.

  • How can I remove application Mega backup that I installed when I thought I was the update for adobe flash download. I've got El Capitan.

    How can I remove app Mega backup of my desktop computer. He got installed when I thought I was downloading an update for adobe flash.  I closed the application them tp mpved ot trash, but he would not accept it stating still open app.

    "MegaBackup" is an application of unworthy of trust-storage cloud or perhaps real malware. I have not tried to make this distinction. To remove it, please start back up all the data (not with the MegaBackup himself, of course). Then take the steps below.

    1 Select the elements of the connection tab in the users pane and groups of system preferences. Remove all elements with a name starting in 'MegaBackup '.

    2 log off or restart the computer.

    3. slide the MegaBackup application in the Applications to the trash and empty folder.

    Note that you cannot delete any application trying to drag its icon from the LaunchPad or the Dock. You must open the Applications folder in the Finder.

    You may have installed ad-injection with MegaBackup malware. If you don't see unaccustomed pop-up in a web browser, ask for additional instructions.
