When ive connected by samsung player to the computer and ive gone onto the samsung media studio which ive installed. The portable device icon is not active and does come on.
I had this problem with my YP-U3JZB, and this worked:
Plug player into USB port. Then do: Control panel > System > Hardware tab > Device manager > Portable devices (expand and locate name of device, eg "Samsung YP-U3") – right-click and select “Update driver”, follow prompts.
This worked without installing the Samsung media player – Windows Media Player 10 or 11 will then recognise the device, for syncing, etc.
(found this solution in another forum, can’t now locate – anyway, props to them!)
Go in Control Pannel ->Add Hardware -> Next
Then choose Yes, I have already connected the hardware -> Next
Select MTP device form the list (it is somewhere at the buttom) -> Next
And finish the instralation
Then go to Control Pannel -> Portable Media devices and you will see your mp3 player there.
It is now connected to your computer and you can put your music on.
I hope this is the solution to your problem

This is a common problem that is usually generated by flashing the wrong firmware
to the player. All you need to do is to get your player into ADFU state, that is to make it connect to the pc no matter what the firmware tells it to do. To do that you must
disassemble your player and short the memory chip pins or the tantalum capacitor on the board.
First you must connect the player to the PC and wait 30 seconds. Then
you must short the capacitor's wires with a screwdriver or a bent
paperclip, but only for less than a second. Do not let it short for too much
or you will burn the chips!
Alternatively, you can short the flash chip's pins with a paper clip. Short both sides
and slide down with the paper clip but do NOT insist. Your player should turn off for a
second and then turn on again. I repeat, do not insist or you will burn your player's flash.
Just slide fast, but be care full not to break the pins.
As soon as you do this and the player restarts, after maximum 1 minute it will be detected by your computer and the PC will ask for drivers. Now you have to browse to MP3 Player utilities folder, tipically under “C:\Program Files\MP3 Player Utilities
4.15\RDiskUpdate\driver\” and install “ADFUUD.SYS”. The PC will then install it and you'll be able to run the firmware update program and update the fiwmare.

My mp3 player (Samsung U3) says it's charging when I plug it into the computer, but also says it's disconnected. Nothing shows up on my computer to say it's connected and the portable icon in the program is not active. So I can't put music on it. Please help.
I am having the same problem, I even have the original cd that came with it. It works on 1 laptop I have but is not recognized on any other , even though I installed the software. Device says no driver.....

Hi. Having the same problem. Thought maybe it was a faulty USB drive, so i actually exchanged it for another, only to find the same problems. I plug it in, it says "connecting" and only seconds later, it says "usb disconnected" and theres nothing you can do to get the computer to read it. I'm about to try out some solutions posted here... I'll see how i go!
error ins
I have the same problem. My mp3 player has worked normally for over half a year, but a week ago it decided not to connect anymore.
I've tried the first solution, but it didn't work.
It was recognised in the hardware tab in the control panel, but it doesn't show up anywhere else, not on My computer, not on the samsung media studio, not in windows media player.
Are there any other solutions exept disassembling stuff?
same problem it seems - ive installed the software that came with the YP-U3 and the portable device icon does not show in the studio editor program - ive tried updating the driver, rolling ball the driver, downloading it again over the net, everything i can think of short of shoving up samsung- think ill take it back and try another brand - why cant anything just work these days without it being a major headache!
I think I got it guys. forget WMP 9,. 10 , 11... I run win xp service pack 2 and could not install the samsung yp-u3 player. I kept having it found as a new hardware {portable device} but as we all know this software has no drivers, and the windows update produces MTP device error. Resulting in you not being able to see your player in XP. Well go to windows update site and search for a file called "mtppk12.exe" I'm pretty sure once you install that file and reboot, you will no longer have MTP device errors. However, I installed this at the same time i installed windows media player SDK. So maybe both files are required. Finally after 2 days of troubleshooting i got mine to work.
Thanks Guest 01 August 08.
I have uninstalled the Samsung software, downloaded Windows Media Player 11, mtppk12.exe and Windows Media Player 10 SDK.
Lap-top now recognises the MP3 player and I have finally been able to transfer my songs.
