So I just bought this last night. Charged it today. I’m on a Dell Laptop. I opened up my Windows Media Player, I believe it’s Windows 10 or higher. Anyway, I synced about 20 songs and it is PAIN STAKINGLY taking over an hour just to download that. Is this normal? I tried all the buttons (not smart I know) but I can’t imagine this is how it normally takes right? Because this is a big chunk of time for just 20 songs, and I have not even synced all the songs I want. I even put a 16mb card.
Nevermind, I’m just going to take it back to Best Buy. I seriously dislike having to wait an hour to “Refresh your media” even when I finally got it to work, I deleted all the songs and it’s taking longer. Seriously? it’s EMPTY what the heck is the long wait?
Do I really want to wait this out the next time I sync 1 song? I think not.
and to boot, my Computer isn’t even reading that it’s plugged in anymore.
I looked around and then found that when you have the MicroSDcard in your Clip Zip, it will seem like "Refreshing Your Memory " is stuck. Eject the SD card and it will complete. Elsewhere, it says when your Clip Zip “freezes” to hold your power on/off button down for about 20 seconds. Tried that, but what I did works—then you will need to format your SD card for "Refreshing Your Memory " NOT to be stuck.
Connected a friends Clip+ 4.5 MP3 to her laptop (no, don’t know it’s specs of laptop off hand), copied 3 files from Clip to her laptop, removed Clip (there was NO EJECT option, just removed the Clip) and now it reads REFRESHING YOUR MEDIA after a good 3/4 of a DAY. When the clip is plugged into her radio/combo to charge, the radio/combo says DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED.
She cannot aford to lose the data on her Clip, nor is she savvy enough to tinker. Please help. TIA.
