Sansa won't work in MSC mode at all

My sansa worked perfectly before, it was rockboxed and loaded with music. Then one day I turned it on and it froze in the system menus of rockbox. I turned the sansa on and outside and he consistantly froze at the same point. I thought it was a problem of rockbox, so I used sansa patcher to uninstall bootloader. Who took care of my freezing problem but now using the original firmware it only sees half of my songs and I don't have a micro sd chip in there. The other problem is that when I put the sansa MSC mode and plug it into the brief of screen sansa bed connected, but then once I try to explore the sansa in windows Explorer, that it goes offline and the computer crashes until I unplug the sansa. I isolated it as a flaw in the sansa by trying on each usb port on three computers different and three different versions of windows (Vista Premium, Windows XP Pro, Vista Home Premium 64-bit). I tried to plug it on and off. Is there a way to fix this? Replace the recovery mode firmware help? The device of formatting would have an effect? MTP mode still works well but I would like to get rockbox works again and I doubt that I can solve the problem of database of it not finding my songs without MSC.

I appreciate all help.

It's quite strange. MSC is usually easy to use mode and PSG is the problem. I suspect that there is a bad file that was transferred to MSC mode (or while using Rockbox) and he's in trouble. But you can't really fix that one file without returning MSC. I also assume that you use Rockbox to read files as file names and that these files do not have the Sansa like ID3 tags. But any. It is now a mess.

Formatting will delete all the files that you have added to the unit, so let's hope you have backups.

First, try to update or replace the firmware in recovery mode. See if that stabilizes the connection of MSC. You can then run ChkDsk for a chance at a file of fixing problem.

If not, get in shape via the recovery mode. Make an empty folder called sansa.fmt and drag it into 16 MB - FORMAT. Do not use explore to the Format 16 MB FORMAT - that would make things much, much worse.

  • Some applications won't work in Safe Mode

    Hello world

    I had a few problems with some applications for these past few weeks, they will start only when I'm in Mode safe. It's always the same applications, which include Spotify, Atom.io and website via Safari maps.google.com. I suppose that there is something that share these apps that don't deprive them start when I start my MacBook in normal mode.

    Things I've tried:

    -Reinstalled El Capitan, to the latest version

    -HDD completely wiped and reinstalled El Capitan

    -Delivered PRAM reset

    -SMC awarded zero

    None of these actions have worked unfortunately. What could be wrong here? Is there a hardware error?

    Kind regards

    Niels

    1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

    Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

    2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

    You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

    In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, so any person with the required competence can check what it does.

    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site of thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

    Another indication that the test is safe in this threadand this onecan be found, for example, where the comment in which I suggested it was recommended by one of the specialists of the communityApple, as explained here.

    However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

    4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.

    ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

    ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

    These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

    5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

    6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

    7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") Press the combination of keys command + A to select all the text, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing command-C.

    8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal as "Syntax error" or "Event not found", enter

    exec bash

    and press return. Then paste the script again.

    10. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

    If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

    If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

    11. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

        Test started
            Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.

    The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

    Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appears. If you don't see it in about 15 minutes, the test probably won't be all within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved and you have to start over.

    12. when the test is finished, or if you have stopped it because it was taking too long, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

    If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

    13. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

    14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but what're told you to do maybe not. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

  • I just spent 2 full hours trying to synchronize Firefox on my desktop pc and my android phone. Won't work, even if I follow all the instructions correctly.

    I went to FIREFOX, CONFIGURE the SYNCHRONIZATION. I created a new account (address email, password twice, box for the General conditions of privacy, anti-robot box). On a separate tab, a screen appears with the message "Set up complete! I've closed this tab, then went to PAIR A DEVICE pc, entered screen code that appeared on the screen to CONFIGURE the FIREFOX SYNC to my phone, and then click NEXT. The phone showed immediately (a busy area horizontal) activity, with the message "Waiting for device"... After 7 minutes, the default phone CONFIGURE the FIREFOX SYNC with a new code in the 3 boxes, and the default pc on-screen set UP SYNC with 2 buttons, set UP the SYNCHRONIZATION and a PAIR DEVICE. Somewhere in the process described above (I don't remember exactly where...), the pc asked me a RECOVERY KEY - which I could not find anywhere, either on the phone or the pc. I repeated it at least 5 times, always with the same result-no. Somewhere in the instructions, it describes a "manage the ACCT" button to Sync Accts - No. SUCH BUTTON APPEARS ANYWHERE, nor the pc and the phone. My profile. : Firefox 15.0.1 on pc, Firefox 16.0 on phone... phone Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000 Note is... Android version: 4.0.4... I am very good by following the instructions, but the help of Firefox Sync pages describe buttons that are NOT on my devices and the recovery of the codes that are NOT anywhere. Please, please help - as much time invested already, so frustration... THX.

    When you open the desktop synchronization page (Tools > options > sync) makes it look like the image below? If it is not so sync is not installed on the desktop computer.

    If that looks like then the other half would be to get a log of the aLogcat of your device when you try to pair the device. Follow the instructions at http://160.twinql.com/how-to-file-a-good-android-sync-bug

  • Sansa e260 MSC mode does not show my files

    I never have problems with my player sansa until today. I just updated the firmware and now MSC mode does not work correctly. None of my files on the Sansa e260 player appear, do just the default values. However, everything is there when I go through my sansa player, but he does not appear in the player. No clue as to how I can solve this problem, so that the files that I have in my sansa player appear in the disc again? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    The music on the e200 series folder is "hidden". Maybe that is. Change the settings in Windows to "show the hidden files and folders" and see if that helps.

  • Create playlists of music already on the player in MSC mode

    Let me start by saying to pretend I'm disabled mentally. I've never used a sync button in my life has always been Sansa and used to use MTP mode, right click in Windows, create playlists of pla and get exactly what I wanted. Now I have a zip clip and based on other issues, has decided to switch mode MSC that no longer allows me to right click to create files of pla. So I have a clip zip with various structured files that I leave on the random mode. Everything is good.  I want to create some playlists that put some albums in the order of the pieces. There are several reasons I want to do what some of the music lies in different folders.

    So the question is how to do this? Yet once again, I have synced never anything in my life. I opened the windows, created a playlist by dragging the songs on my player and sync says, but who seems to want to copy all the music in the folder (it is are not enough space).

    All I want to do is create a playlist based on songs that I already have in my records player void, not copy the music to the player. I don't really know WMP interface since everything I've ever done with, it's hitting the room.  Can someone tell me if I can do this and if so, how, step by step?  I have a Sansa Clip Zip, Windows XP and WMP11.

    I really apprecate any help and apologize me if my question is stupid. I went with Sansa from the day 1 to avoid synchronization of Word and simply drag - move the hard drive to the player, but it's time to broaden my horizons.

    Mar

    I tried to create several playlists that were basically my favorite albums in the past, back when we bought an album and he played in the order of songs over and over again. The life of God was so simple, not better just more simple.

    I just realized that WMP is not the same thing as WINAMP. so I downloaded WINAMP, followed the instructions I got from another forum (anythingbutipod) and it works. Here is the thread in case someone else is as naïve as I am (and assuming it's ok for me to post here)

  • E260 v2 won't start - necessary recovery mode

    My e260 v2 won't start.  After the logo screen, it says not "enough space for music DB.  Please free 90 MB' and stops quickly.  When I connect it to the computer, the computer recognizes it, but it does not appear in the Explorer.  Indeed, the Explorer crashes if the Sansa is connected.  Windows Media Player does not recognize it no more.

    After reading this forum and other sources online, I thought that the solution to my problem was to go into recovery mode and reformatting.  However, it will not be in recovery mode.  After reading a bit more, I learned that models v2 is not recovery mode, but I have not found anyone mention what to do instead.  So, how can I reset my Sansa to the factory settings?

    The "not enough space" error is most often related to a file corruption.  You will need to manually connect in MSC mode.  Step 1 of the solution includes details on that for you.

    Voila!  It's pretty simple.

  • Using (Playlists) SD Card in MSC Mode

    Hello;

    In MSC Mode, Clip + and another removable drive to the SD card, as separate drives.  So if I were on a SD card, how would create playlists (m3u) which contain music of these two drives?  When connected to a computer, it is available drive letters; When it is not the case, however, there is no drive letters.  Therefore, I don't see how it can be "seemless" as someone mentioned.  I would use the MTP Mode, but I prefer not to as it is not flexible.

    Any thoughts?

    In fact, you have a few questions here that need some explanation:

    1. Playlists m3u will be read & play songs of either of the reader memory internal or card SD, but not both. PLA format playlists is going play songs from two sources of memory. Personally, I use Winamp and MSC mode to create playlists .m3u. Then, I use a conversion program to convert the .m3u playlist a .pla one. This works. There are other means. I tell you, just the way that works for me.
    2. Reading 'Transparent', as has been mentioned here refers to the Clip + (or any player with a slot for SD card Sansa) and the fact that the player creates a database containing the songs of two memory locations using the information in the ID3 tags embedded in the files of the song and when 'Play All' (with or without the shuffle) is selected , will play files regardless of the location of the memory. Playlists are a different story (as explained in #1). The only difference is that if you use the folder view (in the menu music).
    3. MSC mode will allow your computer to see your player that separate the 2 discs, the internal memory and the card slot (if a card is inserted in time or not). Your computer sees your device in MTP mode as a single device requiring 'management' and does not assign a drive letter. You can still access two internal & external memories, but it is a "virtual". Also note that your computer can only see the songs in 1 mode at a time, so it is best to figure out which is best for you depending on how you plan to use the drive and all that transfer you the content in this mode 1.

    I am with you and a guy MSC through & through. PSG has its purposes (content DRM such as Rhapsody, etc.) and the fans, but MSC you gives the user much more control and is easier all around.

  • 1 gigabyte of invisible music in MSC mode

    Hi guys. I see my Sansaclip as a storage device usb with the root of my memory of 2 GB internal/computer/Sansa clip files on the internal memory are: Albums, audio books, music, playlists, podcasts, recording, service - as well as a file devicon. I put music on the Sansa when buying a months ago, and it's been great. Now, I tried to find these albums, that the excellent work on the Sansaclip, remove some of them, but this is not possible. The mentioned files are all empty, except for the music folder with 4 testsongs files delivered with the Clip. However, the internal memory is full, and I have obviously checked 'show hidden files/folders', so is not the problem. Where the Sansa Clip hid all the music, and what I can do to be able to see him again? The problem would be that I loaded the music of win2k and I now use winxp? It seems absurd, because it is simple mp3 files, but given this player cache by far just 1 GB, everything is possible. Appreciate your help.

    See my response here: free space decreases slowly.

    It seems that your machine Win2K wrote files in MSC mode, while the XP computer uses of the PSG.

  • advantages and disadvantages of the use of PSG vs msc mode?

    I tried to find that answering this question somewhere else, but so far without success.  I recently got a Sansa fuse and this is the first time that I had to worry about the MSC vs MTP modes.

    With all the debates of the MTP and MSC are and how to change the mode that it's in, what operating support systems what mode, etc etc etc...

    I have not found anything specific to the Sansa fuse which tells me what mode is 'better' to use when I have a choice.  I know "better" is relative, but what are the advantages and disadvantages of each mode?  So far the only annoying I found on DPW is that you cannot use the option 'remove hardware safely' on most of the Windows OS, and that makes me a little nervous.  But it looks like one big annoying thing on MSC seems to be (?) that you can't always see what's on your drive when you are in Windows Explorer.

    Any other pro and con on how choose (assuming you are using an operating system where you have a choice).

    Thank you!

    Use MSC unless you have a subscription (Rhapsody, Napster, Overdrive) service which must transfer the information of DRM (digital rights misery), which only works with PSG.

  • Satellite NB10T: Want to install Win 7 but cannot change the UEFI in MSC mode

    Hello

    I know that it isn't the best article at the post office, but there is no instance void for my computer (Satellite NB10T) series and this problem is bound to win 8
    I'm stuck at the moment: I disentailed 8 victory because I want to go back to 7

    I am aware of
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm
    The problem is that I did not mode Boot under advanced system configuration option; the only thing I can do is enable or disable secure under the Security tab, startup mode which isn't enough

    I also added a supervisor password. It adds a clear keys for secure boot option, but still nothing on the Advanced tab to move to the Csm.
    Clearing keys does not work too.

    I tried to boot multiple linux distro and win7 on usb bootable (theses work on other computers), but no luck. Boot order usb first value of course).
    What can I do?

    Edit: will put some pictures of the uefi

    You posted the screenshots of the configuration of Toshiba utility.
    The boot mode must be changed in the BIOS settings.

    To access the BIOS of the laptop must be turned off.
    Then put the unit BUTTON and press F2 to enter the BIOS.

    In the BIOS, you will find the necessary options: secure boot must be disabled and the UEFI mode must be changed to MSC mode

    How can I fix it.

If I try to open Windows Media for example, it says its empty (since Winutilities deleted my stuff) so I tried to use repair your computer and that no longer works

    Help as im desperate

    Hello

    Maybe your system is confusing upward. You said, you have installed some software stuff (Winutilities) and possibly this affected your system.

    If you have a Vista disc (not the recovery disk Toshiba), you can start Notepad using this disc. During initialization, you should be able to choose a repair console providing an option that might help to fix and repair the system.

    If this is not enough, then you will need to install the new system :(
