• Sansa Clip not recognized by computer - new problem

  All of a sudden my Sansa Clip is not recognized by my computer. I use MSC forced for a year and have seen the page referred by others with this problem. Nothing seems to work. Download the new firmware will it correct even if the device is not recognized? How the new firmware can be installed on the device?

  At present the Clip plays already charged music, but I can add more.

  Suggestions? Thank you.

  OK - I'm a model. I used a charging cable not provided by Sansa. This is why the computer was not recognizing the Clip. However, is there a way to NOT use forced MSC to connect? I use it since I updated the firmware to the last spring and my thumb is painful.

  Your firmware has USB mode in the settings? If so, switch to MSC there... problem solved!

• Sansa Clip Zip battery does not charge, goes directly to the screen of the song

  It's my third Sansa MP3 players.  The first was a Sansa Fuze with the round button.  Like that one but my husband needed more that I did it I gave it to him.  He is old, but the player is still so today.

  The second was a Sansa Fuze + with the touchpad.  The touchpad has been way too sensitive but I need to play only two songs for sleep therapy while I was fine with it until the battery suddenly stopped charging a few months ago, I posted my problems in the Sansa Fuze + forum.  After trying a few suggestions, I finally accepted that he was a Goner.

  I bought this Sansa Clip Zip 4 G, thinking that should last at least for a while because I use every day.  In fact, I needed only when I had disorders of sleep during the night;  I probably used it once every two weeks or more.  I used my cell phone to the device, had no problems until now.

  The last time that I loaded it was 2 weeks, to 98% full - the thing never indicated 100% while it was a little weird.  In any case, I had problems sleeping two nights ago so I took out the Clip Zip and noticed that the battery still had plenty of juice left.  This morning I checked the battery, he had 68%, but I thought I needed could again tonight so better it load up, just in case where.

  I connected it to my computer, but it did not show "connected" screen  Instead, he went straight to the last song I listened to.  I thought it was weird so I turned off the player then tried again.  Of course, he went directly to the screen of the song.  I noticed that the battery icon was showing 'filler '.  I thought that if I left it connected to the pc long enough IT would eventually deducted.  Two hours later, I checked the computer and it says that the drive battery was dangerously low.  I disconnected and then reconnected and this time he said 98% charged.  I loaded a bit more just in case so I used the player for about 15 minutes and the player turns off.  Plugged into the pc and now it says battery is extremely low, while the last hours do not charge the battery, but it drains pretty!

  My last attempt was to plug into a wall charger and guess what?  He went directly to the screen of the song once again.  Contrary to connect to the computer, I could actually turn off the player but this way does not charge the battery, or.   It's exactly the same problem as my second player, the Sansa Fuze +.

  I bought the last two players from Sansa, simply because I really liked the first which of course had been abandoned a long time ago.  I don't know if I have bad luck or it is just an issue joint Sansa players but one way or the other I don't buy any Sansa more in the future.  He is a big name that comes with the big disappointment!

  You can also try a reset by pressing and hold the power button for 20-30 seconds. Release it and then turn it on normally and see how it behaves.

  By your description of the message "dangerously low" you get then plug it into your computer, which tells me that you use MTP mode on the player (or default automatic default, MTP). MTP mode can be pretty weird; better to use MSC mode unless you have need to PSG for "protected" content or DRM files such as Rhapsody or audio in your library or Audible books. The small "crirically" message is a bug in Windows 7 (using MTP mode) that Microsoft did not consider important enough to fix.

• Sansa Clip + does not start or is not recognized by my computer.

  I listened for the Sansa Clip + to work for about two hours after charging the battery. It stops all of a sudden. It will not turn on, nor is it recognized by my computer. I tried a soft reset by holding the power button and I still get nothing. I tried to connect to different computers and different USB ports on each computer. I can also load with another cord which is not read.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks

  Have you tried holding down the power button (some say 30 seconds, but I don't think he'd be as long) and then releasing and clicking it normally? This is what worked for me both times as my Clip + died spontaneously.

• Completely insensitive Sansa Clip

  I just bought a Sansa Clip 8 gb yesterday, and today I finally had the time and access to put the music on it. I installed Windows Media Player 11, sync my music, made sure it was fully charged and decided to go out for a run. I listened to a song repeatedly (he played throughout many times so far) when it suddenly stopped playing mid-song after about forty minutes. The menu screen do not appear, key does not turn on and I can not reset regardless of how long I hold it in the "high" position. If I connect it to my computer, it is not read (nothing appears on my computer)... in one of the USB ports. It is not read on another Windows XP computer in the House, either. I tried to install the update for Sansa, but it will not install as the Clip isn't well of my computer. I tried to hold the power button for 20 seconds, locking and pressing the main select button while inserting the USB cable and nothing helped. Curiously, it is still running as far as I can tell because when you plug / unplug the headphones you can hear the "flying" static, you would do an audio device in use. I can't return or Exchange it at Wal-Mart because I left the front desk in another State, and I'd really prefer not to send to the manufacturer at my own expense given their promise to offer a «free of defects of design» product If someone could help me troubleshoot my way in a working mp3 player, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

  I waited for Wal-Mart finish digging through their recipes to find the mine, and you know... after 60 hours of idleness, the Clip has decided to finally die. I could load after this and update the firmware. Should work fine now. I'll probably still pick up the receipt just in case.

• Sansa Clip is insensitive (malfunction)

  To start things, I've owned a Sansa Clip 2 GB for about a month now, and I never had any problems with it until today... even if I'm to blame for causing its functioning. Is how he dropped it when I was trying to get some songs from my Mac sisters I wanted (my laptop is Vista, so suddenly I was not familiar with the change in systems), I don't a not eject the Sansa Clip correctly the USB. He ended up screwing up, and now I can't make it work because it tends to freeze when I turn it on (after holding the power button for 15 seconds or less). Does anyone have advice on how I can fix this, or to all least able to reset it so that it can work? By the way, thanks in advance.

  Basically, you can run a check on it as if it were a generic drive (say a hard drive or a USB "key")

  the exact command depends on you and the operating system, fsck, chkdsk or (for example xp) right-click on the sansa msc mode (should appear as a removable USB - say-), properties, tools, check now.

  as an alternative, if you know that you can just re - put songs on the clip without having to purchase them again, simply reformat the drive, there is a specific menu settings entryunder.

• Transfer from Windows Media Player to Zip Sansa Clip

  In the end, I am creating playlists on my Sansa Clip Zip. So I think THAT I have to create a playlist in Windows Media Player and then sync my Sansa Clip Zip. For some reason any I am only able to see 5 playlists, but I know that I have created several of them. In fact, if I try to create a new play list using a name I know, I created, it is said that there are already. How can I see ALL my playlists?

  Also, if I click on playlists for the Sansa Clip Zip it shows I have 9 playlists, but I can't see what they contain!

  Hi Nymickey,

  I suggest you to contact the Sansa Clip Zip support for better support associated with Sansa Clip Zip and check if it helps.

• When I connect my SanDisk Sansa Clip MP3 player Zip I get Code 10 device cannot start

  Original title: Code 10

  When I try to plug in my SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip MP3 player I get the device Code 10 cannot start.  I have XP.  The MP3 came with a 2.0 USB.  I don't know what the USB on my computer.

  Hello

  First of all, thanks a lot for taking the time to help me.

  After having tried everything you have suggested and have no chance and then by searching the Microsoft sites, Dell and SanDisk, I finally found a very simple solution that worked.

  Thought I would pass it for any future reference.

• My Sansa Clip does not work

  I use my Sansa Clip when I work at the YMCA. I used it last night and it worked fine then. This morning when I went to the O, it didn't work at all. Once I got home, I plugged into my computer. It still does not work. Why it does not work and I can fix it?

  How about a magic Sansa?

  Slide the switch to position IT and hold it there for 10-15 seconds.  If you have sensitive headphones, you can hear a "click" soft as the device resets.  It is the function of soft reset .  Your Clip should restart normally after the reset.  Try to turn it on as usual.

• Sansa Clip and Slacker Radio?

  Does anyone know if the Sansa Clip will work with Slacker Radio?

  Any info is appreciated!

  As Slacker internet radio, and the Clip (or indeed any Sansa player) is not, I don't see how.

• Power outage Sansa Clip

  Hello

  I have a 2 GB Sansa Clip I bought about 4-5 years ago and have been very happy with it.

  He runs the version of the 01.01.30A software.

  However, recently and for no apparent reason suffering from power cuts.

  It would just turn off, no matter how much battery there left, how long it has been running or what he does. And when we turn on (which is sometimes hard to do) he can't remember the last thing he was playing.

  After further tests it seems to turn off when put under different angles, almost as if there is a piece on the inside that is open/close the connection. When shaking a slight ratteling inside there, but I can't be certain that's not making noise power switch.

  Of course, this looks like a hardware problem.

  So, how can I open it and fix it? Is there a diagram somewhere I can look at?

  Thank you

  Max

  Well, I opened it and looked around in there.

  True, the battery had detached from its adhesive strips and pulled the loose battery negative cable.

  Gently, I took out the battery and was able to resolder the wire and test that it works before you all shut up.

  My double-sided adhesive foam Strip seemed to be too thick, so I used a drop of silicone glue to prevent the battery from moving around.

  All together again once, case snapped back and forth between them well.

  A little notation around the seam is a small price to pay for a media player that fully operational once again.

  Thanks for all your suggestions!

• Sansa Clip + question

  Hello, I am really considering buying the Sansa Clip + for the race, and I just want to know one thing.

  When in Shuffle mode and you accidentally skip a song, are you able to return to the song you just jump by pressing the back button?

  I only ask this because my Archos can not, she keeps just still dragging on the back button.

  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards, Daniel.

  Yes.

• Sansa Clip does not

  My sansa clip is on but can not receive music or bring up the menu. What's wrong?

  Is this new? You take off the sticker of the shield? Say the screen if there is no menu? We cannot read your mind; you have to tell us more about this if you want any help.

• Headphone Jack does not fit into my new Sansa Clip +.

  Hello

  I just bought a new Sansa Clip + so I could listen to my songs while he's on vacation, but when I put in my profile 3.5 headphone jack into the hole on the side of the mp3 player, it will not thoroughly and grave if I don't hold him properly. That is how a Sansa Clip + is? because I found it very boring.

  I hope someone can answer quickly because I'll be on vacation in a week about. And sorry for my English because it is not my mother tongue.

  When the player is again taking is very tight and it takes a little force to get the plug completely.
