Fuze won't connect to computer correctly

MP3 players Sansa Fuze

I have always had my Fuze set on Auto-Detect. This always worked fine.

But today, when I plugged it in (to charge), it wouldn’t start charging and the computer wasn’t recognizing it.

I am using a Dell, Windows XP desktop.

When I plug it in on MSC mode, it is detected by Rhapsody and charges, but Rhapsody only shows me one song ont he player, but says 1.3 GB is used.

I want to use Auto-Detect, because that always worked, but it isn’t today. Any advice?

[And I do have a wall charger, but I also need the computer to update track licenses and add music.]

Also, I just checked the account info on the Fuze, and it says to connect to computer within nine days. Usually, when I need to connect it soon, the little circle in the corner will turn yellow or orange.

Right now it is still green, like everything is good, but shouldn’t it be yellow?

And I do have the latest firmware installed.

Thanks.

I had the same problem.

I changed it the MSC mode and it worked fine.

Why dont you keep it in MSC mode Instead of Auto Detect?

Because when I use MSC mode, it isn’t working right with Rhapsody.

Did you try MTP mode?

It thats doesnt work I would just use MSC to Charge and Auto detect to transfer files on to your sansa fuze.

MTP doesn’t work either.

Auto-Detect doesn’t work for anything, the computer isn’t detecting it so I can’t transfer files.

ohh I dont know who to do next.

Good luck

If you have a sudden problem with MTP mode, something has gone awry with Windows Media Player, as this application has the drivers and protocols for MTP.

First, on your Sansa, manually select MTP mode by going to Settings > System Settings > USB Mode > MTP.

Plug in your Device.

Right Click on My Computer and select Manage.  Click on the Device Manager button.

As it is in MTP mode, the Sansa should be showing up under Portable Device.

Double click on this, and then on the Sansa.  If you wish, you can also right click and select Uninstall.  Otherwise, double click again, select the Driver tab, then Uninstall.

Painless, huh?  You did it!  Now unplug the Sansa, reboot the PC, and plug in again.  Windows should reinstall the correct driver for you.
