When copying files to my new Sandisk Sport, the player seems to crash and eject itself from Mac. All transfers are aborted and the Mac pop-up says it ejected improperly. It does not seem to depend on the number of files nor on the size. Sometimes it ejects when copying a large amount of files, sometimes when just one album. There is no problem with the wire nor the computer.
Shame, because it is the second Clip Sport I got that isn’t working properly. The first one did not turn on at all and it took me 3 weeks to get a new one. Anybody know, what’s the issue with Mac and how to solve it?
I know this doesn’t help much but I’ve long suspected that there is something about Macs that a lot of MP3 players don’t like. I’m not just talking about the invisible files that Macs generate and that a lot of MP3 players have problems with.
I have two Sansa MP3 players (not a Sport though) and they are both fine with my Mac.
However, I have two different Samsung players which both exhibit exactly this habit of removing themselves from the desktop at random moments. Both behave perfectly when connected to a PC at work.
I don’t know what the cause is but it has only started happening since I bought a new Mac with OSS10.8. My old Mac with OSX10.4 was fine.
I apologize in advance, but: imagine that, Apple products not playing well with non-Apple devices . . . .
