I sold a Fuze (4GB, v1, working perfectly) to someone who is now having difficulty using it with Audible, on a Windows 7 machine with WMP12. We upgraded the firmware, but it’s still showing a message that states, “Failed to set Activation data to device”.
I know exactly nothing about Audible, but it doesn’t seem like this is a problem with the actual Fuze, but more about compatibility. Could it be the WMP 12 that’s causing the error? Windows 7? Any ideas on how to go about solving this?
I was having the same problem as the person in the OP, and this solution fixed it! Just go to Settings > System Settings > USB Mode > and then make sure MTP is selected. Mine wasn’t and when I did this, I was able to sync with Audible no problem.
This might seem like a simple question, but when you say “Just go to Settings…” can you please explain where and how to perfor this operation? I have Windows XP, a SanDisk and the latest Audible software. Thanks.
