It slides off.

Try using an unbent paperclip and press into the reset hole for a count of 10 seconds. This should undo any software "glitches".

If this doesn't work, there is a hardware problem that would require soldering for a weak/broken joint, or the amplifier chip is failing.

Good luck!

if you can't erase the External Memery trough the device try it though the PC

did you use the safely remove hardware button on your taskbar

if not the computer was still writing to the device when you removed the usb connector and damaged the software on the device

my sis did that and killed a very expensive Mp3 player
(iPOD video 40gb)

its toast

need more info
what OS do you have?
and what Program are you trying to use?

did you try syncing with Windows Media Player

the device is reconized under vista without installing the drivers and is fully compatible with Windows Media Player 11

the disk is not needed and the software on that disk is NOT vista ready

try resetting it
if that fails try taking the battery out for a few seconds to clear the error out

still no luck consider it dead and buy new one

if you are running XP or Vista the disk is not needed I've never used it

is the battery in correctly and is the usb cable fully inserted on the computer end if your going throug a usb multi-port hub make sure its not over loaded with too many devices
if no hub try a different usb port or a different cable

burn the music you PAID for to a cd then rip it back to the system and use Windows Media Player 11 to sync the files to the device (only works if you have a burn feature in rhapsody)

Windows Media Player will see it all the time and is more compatible then Rhapsody with the device

if you Windows Media Player 9-11 you should go under sync and load the music that way then push sync button under the list

you can add the WMV, WMA in a raw fashon or add the playlist by dragging the playlist or indavidual song to the sync list

or

go under my computer in win XP/Vista click on the device and then click internal storage and drag the music files to the audio folder and the video files to the video folder(after making the folder)

if the recovery disk came with the system yes it will have a copy of everything that came on the PC when you bought it if you upgraded th OS you will have to do a upgrade after you have used the recovery disk.

by using the recovery disk you will return every thing back to the factory so you will lose all your saved data, bookmarks, pic, and doc's.

put them on you sd card it will find the video

If you dont have the disk;

Connect your mp3player
Open My Computer,
Open 'Insignia' or other file relative to brand
go into the 'music' folder\

Then open the folder where youre music files are stored
(My Documents, My Music)

Then drag files from one to the other.

Hope that helped
if not, reply with more info.

Had the same problem - but with older Insignia NS-DV2G. Didn't want to buy a new bigger 4GB. Salesman at Best Buy today said I just needed a Macro SC card. Sold me a 2 GB. CAme home - downloaded new tunes, loaded it up in the Card reader and synced. Computer said everything went to the card fine. Turned on the Insignia and got same error as you - "Unable to format external memory". Huh? Thought maybe the memory was too much at 2GB. Had a smaller 256 macro card on hand. Reloaded music on that and stuck that it in Insignia. Same error message. Googled the problem and found your posts. Thought I was doomed. Drove the 20 miles BACK to Best Buy (read a total of 80 miles for two round trips) and two guys couldn't figure it out. Called for a third guy to come over and he turned the dial, pushed the button and all the new songs were there! Just like that. How in the world.............

With macro card inserted:
Go to SETTINGS.
Scroll to SYSTEM
Click on INITIALIZE
Click on YES.

Poof!

At least it worked for me. Good Luck.

Ignore Mr. tonto...he'll get banned soon enough.

The player has malfunctioned badly and is beyond repair. Take it back to Best Buy and they will fix or replace it as a good faith gesture.

Happy tunes!

Try reformatting the unit using your PC as a FAT formatting. Don't use "quick format" so you can completely erase any glitchy memory points.

Also, press and hold the Reset button (little hole on the bottom right of the player) to reset the software.

Good luck!
