Hi, I need Help with The sansa clip-2GB Pink

[swtormrider81]

Hi
I just got the Sana Clip 2GB PINK for my wife for X-mas. The one Best buy was selling for $45.
Anyways, I know nothing about mp3 players and stuff.
I went to plug in the mp3 player into the computer with the USB cord, and On my coputer I get this:
USB Device not recognized.
I have no idea what to do. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks guys!

What kind of computer and what operating system are you using?

Minimum System Requirements

• Windows® XP SP2 or Vista® Operating System
• Windows Media Player® 10 or 11
• CD-ROM drive
• High-Speed USB 2.0 port required for hi-speed transfer

You will likely have problems with a Mac or a Win 98 machine.

Try to connect in MSC mode, read here, then update the firmware, read here.

Im using windows xp sp2 and wmp 11.

Its like my computer cant read the usb of the mp3 cord.

How can I check my USB port to see if it reads 2.0?

Are you plugging it into a USB hub, or possibly a USB port on a laptop? There may not be enough power in those ports.. Try a full powered USB port, like in the back of your desktop'/tower if there are any free ports.

Any Mac that has USB from the last 9+ years and that has Mac OS 8.6 to the lastest OS X shouldn't have problems with players that can mount like USB drives. Just copy your mp3s to and from, delete, etc like any other small disk. It's a shame all of these companies misinform by stating such requirements. It really misleads people. And the firmware updater program is a sham when in fact all we need to do to update firmware on our players is copy a .bin file to the root of the drive. BTW, I copy by doing drags directly from iTunes to the Clip's music folder.
