Thanks very much for your answer, I put my Sansa back on and emptied my trash, but nothing changed. I might have to try reformating…?

 

 

Somebody else posted this same scenario a few days ago. If you don’t empty your trash before pulling the plug, I believe you miss your chance and cannot re-connect to do it. So yes, re-formatting the player is what I would try. You can do it from the player’s Settings > System Settings menu, and not have to connect to your Mac to do it.

Thank you very much; my mac does not recognise the player when on MSC-mode. Is that a problem?

Yep, sure is. MSC mode is the only mode you can use with a Mac, since MTP is a Windows only and made for syncing via Windows Media Player mode.

Formatting, as suggested above will hopefully fix this issue as well. DO remember to check your USB setting after formatting though, as it sometimes reverts the player to the default, Auto Defect setting. Manually select MSC before attempting to connect to you Mac.
