ok...new problem
I have followed the directions to a T...and no matter what I do my puter refuses to recognize my MP3 player. I've gone into device manager and it is listed there with a "+" sign next to it...but is not listed in "my computer" with the other drives (iomegazip and a portable HD along with the normal C D and E drives (with the last 2 being CD/DVD readers writers). I am ready to throw this thing out the window!!!!!!!!!!
I have ripped over 175 songs off CD's and they are ready to D/L to the player but noooooooooooooooooooo...it will not let me. HELP!

Hey,
There are no errors in device manager related to this device? There are many different ways the different MP3 players are recognized in Windows, some are seen as another drive, some are not. My Zune is not recognized as another drive, it is recognized by its software. What is the name of the device and we might be able to do some checking. |

thing is....so often with puter stuff it's simple things that cause the most frustration. For example, awhile back I talked about doing a Skype chat some Saturdays....when I suggested it I think it was Super Bowl weekend coming up. I didn't do anything more with it because suddenly, my mike quit working and I knew I didn't have a working spare. I assumed it had to be specifically Skype related as the mike quit when I upgraded....but it wouldn't work elsewhere anymore either.
couple nights ago I realized that, for whatever reason, my mike had gotten muted in some advanced area in my control panel....unticked a box and 'can ya hear me now?'..... |

Hey,
It looks like it should be seen in explorer. I would think it should just take the first available drive letter. As suggested by O, unplug your other devices first and see if it comes up. Some basic things to try. Reboot? Unplug other USB devices. Try other USB ports. Let me know after that. PS what operating system? XP - Vista? |
