Error obtaining the devices certificate

I contacted the Rhapsody Support team. They directed me to the Control Panel on my PC, then System/Maintenance, then select System, then Device Manager. I found my device listed, then check error code, uninstalled device, shut-down system, restart, went back to Device Manager, click Action, then Scan for hardware changes and just followed the instructions. That did it. Thank you for the followup.

same thing happens with Nero when you want to burn a movie that is copy written try with an original cd and see what happens

the songs on the player have expired licenses - you have to renew your music service sub and try reloading them

Umm..try to format the device sing the device itself or windows media player...if that doesnt work..You can try to reset the device by pressing the power button for about 15 to 20 seconds..if that doesnt work I would recommend you to go to the sandisk site to update the firmware on your device or you can contact sandisk to they can help you with updating the firmware on your device..Please follow the link below to get the firmware

Must renew your rhapsody sub

Sorry about the delay...I understand that you are getting device certificate error..There are two ways you can solve the device certificate..the first one is by formatting your device and the second one is by updating the firmware..I understand you have done that already..maybe something went wrong when you were doing the firmware upgrade..You should be able to transfer music from rhapsody to your device..You have to make sure that the songs you are trying to transfer to your device have the proper license..If after you have done all the steps above you are still having the same problem..you can contact me and I will be more than happy to assist you..or you can contact sandisk at 1-866-726-3475..I hope that helps

The certificate must be obtained by syncing the device to the music service from which you obtained the songs.

It may be that you have to update your DRM component licenses on your PC. http://home.real.com/product/help/chandler/en/TS_error_Authorize,_License,_DRM_Rights.htm or, your Helix components may be damaged, or corrupt. http://reclisten.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/reclisten.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=6203 If either of those dont work. You should format the player to delete everything and re-transfer them to your device. If that doesnt resolve it, you might have to contact Rhapsody. Rhapsody Technical Support 866-597-5507 Best of Luck.

Re-rip them in Mp3 format, and you will have no problem

Renew Rhapsody sub and resync
