Computer doesn't connect with the walkman

"fix" implies it's broken.

To replace the broken version:
1. Connect your walkman to your computer. (if you're connected to the Internet, drivers should be installed automatically).
2. Open a window to view the mp3 files stored in your walkman.
3. Find the broken file, delete it and replace it with a working version.

If you meant "fix" as in "edit":
steps 1 & 2 are the same
3. Edit the file using audio editing software (such as AVS Audio Editor), then re-save the file.

Hi,

I suggest you to backup all the songs in the Walkman Player to the Computer and Format the Player.

Connect the Player to the Computer to charge it until FULL message is displayed.

Reset the Walkman Player. To reset it by pressing the RESET button with a small pin or similar object. You can also Format the Player if the Format option is available by accessing the Home Menu.

To Format the Player; press and hold the BACK/HOME button, select Settings-->Common Settings-->Format-->YES.

WARNING: There is a risk of data loss. If the memory is formatted, all files including the Operation Guide (If applicable to your model) stored in the player will be deleted. Be sure to verify the files stored in memory prior to formatting and export necessary files to the hard disk of your computer or other device.

Once the Format completes, reset the Player by pressing the Reset button located at the bottom of the Player using a sharp pointed object. Now you can transfer the required songs and files to the Player using the supplied Software or by dragging and dropping the songs through Windows Explorer. This will resolve the issue.

Good Luck!

Hi,

Connect the Sony Walkman NWZ-E344 (8 GB) Digital Media player to your computer using the device's USB sync cable. Wait until your computer detects the MP3 player.

Click the "Start" icon in the taskbar. Click "My Computer."

Double-click "Removable Disk." This will open the root storage directory of your MP3 player, which is where all its files are stored. Locate the "Photos" folder inside this directory.


Drag-and-drop pictures from your computer into the Sony Walkman NWZ-E344 (8 GB) Digital Media player Photos folder: Click on a picture file and hold down the mouse button while moving the file to the Photos folder, then release the mouse button to copy the picture to the folder. You can now view these pictures on your Sony Walkman NWZ-E344 (8 GB) Digital Media player.

If your Sony Walkman NWZ-E344 (8 GB) Digital Media player does not support photo viewing, you can still add pictures to the device. Drag-and-drop the pictures anywhere within the root storage directory. You can transfer the pictures to another computer or any USB-compatible device.

Good luck.

1. Check whether the file format of the audio file you are trying to play in the Walkman is supported by the Walkman.
You can check the supported file formats in the manual of the Walkman under "Specifications".

2. Check whether the issue occurs with all the audio files. If you are not able to play the file which you were able to play in past, then it must be the issue with the Walkman.

Then you may reset the Walkman to check whether the issue is resolved.
Press the RESET button located at the bottom of the Walkman to reset it.
You may also try Formatting (USE FORMAT OPTION IN WALKMAN) the Walkman and re-transfer the audio files to the Walkman to check whether the issue is resolved.
NOTE: Never format the Walkman in the Computer as it will delete all the Supporting files in the memory of the Walkman.

You may also try transferring the audio files using the supplied Software like Content Transfer, WMP 11 and SonicStage.

There should be a reset button on the back of the unit. To reset the unit, press and hold the reset button for about 5 seconds.
If the computer still won't connect to the Walkman, you can try the recognition solution posted on WarMaiden.org.

Once you have added files in one mode, those files cant be changed in the other. Solve your MP3 Player Connection Problem.
See my tip posted here about this problem. Now Sony has 2 programs on their site for the walkman. One is called "Content Transfer" the other is called "Media Manager for Walkman" Check out these programs see if they help. Lastly, on the back of the player Is a small hole the tip of a paper clip will fit into to reset the player, try that if all else fails.

Hi saileela,

This won't help you recover your lost files but it will keep it from happening again. I had the same problem myself and called Sony helpdesk. This is what he told me to do (and it worked).

Connect your Walkman to your computer. Open Windows Media Player. The sync tab has a little drop-down tab, click that and one of the options will be WALKMAN in all caps. Mouse over that and you will get another menu. Click "Set Up Sync" and it will open a box.

On the upper lefthand side of that box is a walkman logo. Underneath that is a checked box next to "Sync this device automatically." UNCHECK that box. Problem solved from here on out.

if it doesn't sync, don't worry just open the folder where the music files are stored on your computer, connect your Sony Walkman to your computer and highlight the music files you want to add to the Walkman and select (copy these files) a windows will open for you to select the place you want to copy to, select your mp3 player and click on copy to copy the selected music to your Walkman

NOTE: if you Sony Walkman has a specific folder for music files, you need to move the songs you copied from your hard drive's music folder to the music folder on your mp3 player for the player to recognize the songs in order to play.

i have a sony NW-E003F walkman set and i connected it with my lap top then i deleted some songs and some files. after that i removed it and try ed to use it. but it says NO DATA but when i connect it with computer i can open the songs thorough the media player on my computer
