Cannot get my computer to recognize my sansa e260 player

    I have the same problem, the computer says that I don't have the backup software available. I'm wondering if when I got this computer defragged that maybe they deleted something. Should I complain to this person or is there a way to get the software back?



    Also, The computer has still been telling me the same story, Unrecognized, Unrecognized...etc.

    My computer will not recognize my sansa e260 mp3 player. I have all the requirements for this player, so it should work. The company had no solutions for me.The company said it must be a problem with my windows media player. I tried to update it, and that didn't help. I can't uninstall the media player as it was preinstalled on my laptop.

    I recently got this sansa e260 for Christmas and I installed all of the stuff sansa told me to install and I still cannot get it to work. Sansa told me to put it into recovery mode, then install new firmware, but the firmware will not go the player. I tried all of my laptops usb ports, but it made no difference. What should I do??



    Thanks for any help

    My computer recognises the e260 but the sansa media converter does not. I have recorded music files fine but will not record photos. I am using windows vista and sandisc has stopped sending me any reply to any e-mail that I send them.

    My children bought two of these players and we can't get our computer to recognize either. We have windows Xp and media player 11 and that hasn't helped. I think the USB ports are OK because they recognize my memory stick and digital camera.

    After a year of working fine, WMP now says that the Sansa e260 has no files on it though it is full and works fine independently. WMP will read the files on the disk but the Sansa will not. Marvelous devices huh?

I cannot get my desktop to find a driver for the e260, but if you use the SD microdisk you can load stuff to the microdisk if you have a card reader. You need to buy the full size SD card with the micro SD attached. Then sync the stuff you want to load and when you boot up your player, it will refresh the data base and you can play the stuff on your card. Seems a shame to waste 4 gigs of hard drive on the player, but I do not know anyone who has found a driver for the e260 that works with XP service pack 2. If you do please send me an email me.

Half of song list not recognized by Sansa e260

i will surely help you. you have mentioned that you can see all the songs when your mp3 player is connected to the computer. so what you can do is, you can very well go ahead & format all the songs in your mp3 player using your computer. then you transfer a few songs to your mp3 player(the songs which were not getting recognized in your mp3 player). this should solve your problem.

Cannot get my computer to recognize my sansa e260 player

On your Sansa Go to "Settings" then "System Settings" then "USB Mode," change it to MSC, now try connecting it. If that doesn't work try the other modes just in case.
Hope this helps!

Sansa e-260

Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.

Sansa e260 says connected but device not recognized

I agree with the above suggestion. Try setting the USB Mode under "Settings" on "MSC" on the Sansa. My computer would not recognize the e260 when the mode was set to "MTP"; works fine on "MSC".
