We have 2 yp-k3 players in our house and when you plug them int the computer the player says the USB is connected but on the samsung media studio it doesn't show up that its connected so i cant transfer songs. I have Tried putting the music onto it through windows media player but it says not device has been detected. also when i plug in my mp3 a screen pops up called MTP Media player wth only one action in it ' Take no action' has got anything to do with it?

    I also have the same problem..If you have found some solution. Please do let me know about it. I am planning to visit BestBuy for help..It has only been 3 months I bought this. It used to work earlier, but recently I had issue with my computer and had to reinstall the OS. I have Windows XP SP3..It said failed to detect the hardware and no suitable driver was found. I had installed Media Player 10 also. It also said no device detected..While connecting with PC, it just said charging..Please help..

    I also have this exact same problem!

    I have however somehow got further and am able to transfer files onto my mp3 player. However the computer will still not detect any of the files that are already on the mp3 - except the few that i have only just put on.

    Everytime i potentially get close to finding them the thing crashes!

    Help please!

    I have those problems too, I plug in my k3 and although when i open "my computer" it says the mp3 is plugged in and i can view what is in it, none of my software (sms and windows media player) will detect the mp3.

Do you have media player 11 installed? It wont work with media player 11.

Also make sure you have no traces of media player 11. When you roll back from 11 to 10 it still leaves a trace of media player 11. Check your add/remove programme setttings carefully to make sure there is no reference to media player 11. If there was and you have removed it, restart your computer.

I need a charger for my samsung yp-k3 2gb mp3

The MP3 player is charged by connecting the supplied USB cable to the MP3 player and then plugging the other end of the USB cable into the USB port of a working computer.
This cable is also used to copy music files, video and photos to the MP3 player from the computer.

Yp-k3 where can i buy a usb port

Do you mean the cable to connect to your computer's USB port? You can purchase a wall charger that has a USB port. You can also purchase a cigarette lighter plug with USB port to operate/charge your player in your car.

I cant find out what cord to use

Go to www.ebay.com and put in the name and model of your player in the search panel.
I went there and I saw over 200 sync cables for your Samsung YP K3 MP3 player.
You will need a USB data/sync cable. One end will plug into your MP3 player, the other end will plug into the computer USB port for charging and downloading music to your player.
Good Luck,
I hope this helps

Cant read

Try a different usb port first, then try another computer (with a compatible OS, of course). If another computer will not recognize it, then the player is actually damaged.

MTP Error

When the YP-K3 2 gb device is plugged into the USB Port, the system says "Found New Hardware, Samsung YP-K3" which then switches to "MTP Device" and then fails on an MTP error. It seems to be searching for a driver, and cannot find one. H E L P!!!!!

My samsung K3 wont turn on.

Maybe you have a USB 1.1 on your computer. YP K3 will charge much faster on USB 2

Can we make new charge for SAMSUNG K3?

You can easily get usb powerplugs for a few pounds from high street electrical shops or online retailers. It costs a few pounds. Why I even buy really cheap mp3 players on ebay for about £14 and they come with the usb power plug. The powerplugs are more useful than the players :)

Samsung yp-k3

1. You can download the software from the samsung website

2. The usb message is nothing - it is just telling you that you have a USB 1.1 hub but you well get better transfer speeds using a USB 2 hub, or you can connect it to a usb port directly
