Samsung Yepp YP-P2 Digital Media Player Logo
Posted on Sep 15, 2008

YP-P2 is not recognized at all as a device from my PC and Laptop!

Notes:
1. When I initially purchased that new it was read succesfuly by my PC tower packrd bell, but not from my lap top.
2. Now after all these upgrades they released it is not read by my PC tower as well!
3. When you plug the usb cable, the mp4 player charges normaly, and indicates succesfull usb connection, and the pc makes that sound of plugging in usb things but it is not appearing as a listed device under my computer, nor you can access that through sam med player center.
I am desperate and disappointed...I installed the drivers from cd again and again but nothing....please help me....

    My usb cable is a bit loose when i plug it it and it's also a bit wobbley..

    The mp3 charges properly but the computer wont connect me with the mp3..

    It makes the "plug in" sound followed by the "unplug" sound directly after..

    Is it just the usb cable that i need to change?

    And if so can someone tell me where i can buy in Canada?

Hi
I had a similar problem with my Yepp P2.
When plugged into a usb port, it would charge OK, but a popup
message at the bottom of the monitor said that windows could not recognize the device and in the Device Manager, it was listed as an "unknown device"

Here's what I did: If you don't have Windows Media Player 11,
download and install it.Open up the Media Player and click the "Sync" tab. Then plug your P2 into a usb port. Media Player will recognize that a mass storage device has been plugged into the computer.
A window will pop up asking you to name the device. It already has P2 filled in so just click finish.
In a few seconds a mp3 player will show in the Windows Media Player sync panel with P2 under it. It also shows the amount of storage space available on the device. If you click My Computer the P2 should be pictured as an external mass storage device.
Windows Media Player then loaded all of my Windows Media Player songs and playlists onto the P2. And that was it.
Hope this helps

I tried this from another site. I totally unplugged my computer. Let it sit for AT LEAST 10 seconds. ( I did mine for about a minute) plugged it back up, turned on the puter and opened up my music stuff (rhapsody) and plugged the player back in. recognized immediately. I don't think you have to open up your music suit, i just did that. I think the key is to unplug the puter. Good Luck and happy holidays!

My computers no longer will sync with our P2. Never had this issue before. Any ideas? Does not seem to recognize the P2 when it gets plugged into the USB..

Check if the cable is connected properly. If it is connected properly then check if the cable is working by connecting the device on a diffrent pc ? As soon as you connect you device to the new pc the system will inform that a new hardware is found, that means that the cable and you device are working fine so there is a problem with the computer. Either it is blocked by the firewall or the drivers are corrupted, if it is corrupted then reinstall the sync and things should work smoothly. Make sure you create a backup and restore points before you reinstall the sync

My P2 is not recognized by the computer

this problem is due to usb driver not properly installed. do one thing plug that device in another pc and watch whether it is recognised or not. if it recognised then u will have to install usb driver from ur motherboard cd and if not that then u need driver for that device to work properly in ur pc and u get that driver in the device manufacturer cd or website. for this search go to www.google.com.

Samsung YP-P2JAR. My Comp doesnt recogize it.

You need SamsungMediaStudio or something (the program which came with your P2). Open the program, and your P2 will appear. Good luck.

Card slot won't read p2 card

Hi,
have you thought about restoring your system, to an earlier point.
before the problems occured, with your software update.
also if this fails, or you are unable to acheive this.
check in the device manager, to see if you have any yellow exclamation marks, next to your device.
you may need to re-install the device/driver for your card-reader.

Mike @ compurepair.

YP-P2 Digital, i cannot install movie of dat format how can i install?

You must purchase an application that will convert VCD .DAT files into the format necessary for your device. Searching google for *.DAT to *.AVI should bring up a few of the programs available.
