Syncing to my mp3 player problem

[RP]

My two way sync isnt being recognized by my computer. I cant figure this out.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Ok.

[Kane Knight]

Did you figure this out?

[RP]

nope

[Kane Knight]

Well, fuck. I'm out of ideas.

[RP]

glad we talked

[Vietnamese Crippler]

All hail the Tech Forum!

[Kane Knight]

Wait, I know...Reformat.

[RP]

How about a clean reboot to see if any third party programs are running that might be blocking it? I'll wait before i do this to see what your expert opinion would be.

[Kane Knight]

No, a reformat is the only way.

[RP]

might be right. The Clean Boot didnt work. I plugged the mp3 player in and it still wasnt recognized by Windows Media PLayer 11. I'm not reformatting yet because i dont want to, but i'm gunna see if i can find an old one to plug in and see if it gets recognized.

[Kane Knight]

Holy shit, you actually mentioned useful information.

For a while there, I thought you were afraid to give details, lest someone actually be able to help you.

[RP]

mmmmm hrmmmm

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Try doing it in safe mode?

[Kane Knight]

Try getting a better MP3 player?

Do you have the latest version of Kane Knight's Tech Support on a Case By Case Basis?

Have you thought that you gave no information therefore you got nothing in return?

Lets see if we can quarterback this thing out. I'm curious now.

- I have a Sandisk mp3 player. It holds about 100 songs. It's small. It's older. It's called a Sansa.

- It used to have no problem syncing up to my Windows Media Player 11 ( ....)

- Now recently it's not getting recognized by Windows Media Player 11

- I've tried every USB port

- My wireless mouse has a USB chip plugged in and it works fine.

- I've unplugged said mouse to make sure it's not the problem. It's not the problem.

- I've did a Clean Reboot and started in safe mode to make sure no 3rd Party programs are possibly blocking Windows Media Player 11 from recognizing my Sandisk Sansa Older Version MP3 Player

- Nothing has worked.

- I'm sad.

See if you can open it in a file folder and put your music there that way. It is the olly way it works for me.

[RP]

Ruien, if that works, i'll find out where you live and use my credit card to order you and African American prostitute of the best kind.

[Kane Knight]

Does Windows recognise it when you plug it in?

[RP]

Now you can just suck my balls ok?

Sorry, eveN I have some standards.

[Ruien]

Did it work RP? If so I have my blackie picked out.

[RP]

nope. nothing has worked.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Does it even make the sound that indicates you've plugged something in?

[RP]

nope. The batter charges. But Windows Media Player wont recognize it as a device plugged in. So i cant sync songs to it.

[Kane Knight]

I know you're going to eschew my help anyway, but maybe VC can re-ask these questions in a few days and you won't have quite the tantrum about them.

Did you ever get around to trying another computer?

If it was recognised on that computer, have you tried updating/reinstalling the USB drivers on your PC? This might be the case even if other devices are working.

Have you tried following whatever steps Sandisk offers to reinitialise the MP3 player? I'm sure you can find them on the web and don't need any nanny hand-holding.

All basic and relatively simple steps.

[Ruien]

Try a different cord if a different computer does not work. Then try a different MP3 if that still does not work.

[RP]

I've tried another computer. I dont have another MP3 player like this one and dont have a smart phone anymore. I've tried everything Sandisk has asked.

I havent tried reinstalling the driver. I'll look into that now.

I've tried all kinds of cords.
