I connect the device and my computer recognizes it. When I try to copy songs to the device I get a message saying the device is disconnected even
though I still see it. I can create and rename folders on the device so I know it is still connected. I can sync the device successfully using WMplayer v11.
I am running Windows XP SP2. I can copy files successfully on another computer that is running windows xp.
Any idea what is not set correctly on the copmputer that will not copy files??
Are you trying to copy files in MSC mode while the player is actually in MTP mode? Or vice-versa? If you have a v2 unit, go to SETTINGS > USB mode and set it for the correct mode, not AUTO DEFECT (intentionally mis-spelled).
If this is not it, then try checking Device Manager in Windows. If it shows as enabled, try dis-enabling it or deleting it. Re-boot your computer, turn on your Sansa & after it is powered on, plug in the USB cable. This should force Windows to “find the new hardware” and load the correct MTP drivers.
