In the process of downloadingthe latest firmware, I inadvertantly canceled download @50 %. ( the only status screen I got for 20 mins. was “searching for updates” when I cancelled the download, then the status screen poped up.
I tried resumeing it, but stays at 50 %. I diconnected Clip +, turned it off, restarted, reconnected, and attempted to download again, status still hung at 50 %.
Is there a way to purge and start over? It may have been hung there all along, since I wasn’t seeing the status screen,
Sounds like you’re using the infamous Sansa Updater. Why not just download the .zip file, extract it and install the firmware manually? Takes all of about 3 minutes.
You can get the fimrware .zip files and instructions here.
Thanks for the tips. Do i just ignore the fact that I have a partial download on the Clip now? In other words should the new manual update overwrite the partial with no hitches?
I down laoded and extracted the files. displayed file structure looks like this:
Sansa Clip + 4 GB
Internal Memory
Albums
Music
.
.
Service
Rapsody
I can not drag into the top level (Sansaa Clip…)
Nor into the Internal Memory level
But I can drop it into Any of the music level folders.
What do i do?
Sounds like your playre is in MTP mode. Swithc it to MSC and try aagin. Don’t drop the frimware files into any of the Music (or other) folders. It needs to be in the root (or top) directory; next to the Music and other folders.

Seems like your player is in MTP mode. Switch it to MSC and try aagin. Don’t drop the firmware files into any of the Music (or other) folders. It needs to be in the root (or top) directory; next to the Music and other folders.
