I'm making progress! I hadn't removed the protective cover from the screen (didn't think that would make a difference) - screen now shows a "Connected" message icons of the PC and the player.
Categories: Sansa Clip / Clip +
I took delivery of a new Clip+ 8GB today. I charged the battery via a USB port on my laptop (I'm using Windows 7), then copied a few podcasts to the Clip+; I also synced it with Windows Media Player (not sure whether I needed to do that?). Problem I have that I'm unable to play, or even see, any of the files on the player: all I see is an icon of a pair of headphones and "Music>". I've read the manual which came with the player, also had a look at the downloaded manual but im can't see how to get started with the player. Also, I seem to have only 220 Kb of the internal memory free. Am I missing something obvious, or have I somehow screwed up my new purchase? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Many apologies for my unnecessary posts - Clip+ is working now. Removing the screen protector seems to have done the trick (perhaps this should have been specified in the manual?).
PROFUSE thanks to you, lowfatyog. Mine did exactly the same thing, which was nothing, after I deleted some of the fluff that came along with it. I kept watching the clips on youtube, where they showed all the neat menu stuff, but all I saw was that bloody "earphones 'n music" display. THEN, I read this forum, and found out about that COVER. When I removed it, the little thing lit up, and I realized that this was the answer. But as you say, this cover, this peal-n-play strip is documented NOWHERE that I can see, in the (sparse) doco. Nor did any geeks mention it in the youtube stuff. Sigh. Shame on them all. What would I have done without this blurb? Thanks again, my friend,

I've found out why so much of the memory has been used up: a load of my photographs have been copied across to the player, presumably because I opted to Sync it. I take it I can delete the photos, or the folder containing them? Thanks again.
