Hi!
Here's my problem. My Samsung MP3 player is acting up. For some reason, the Samsung Media Studio program will no longer allow me to refresh my library nor safely remove the portable device. The only options it's allowing me to choose is a general refresh F5 (which does nothing) and the format option, which I have tried. I deleted everything on the MP3 player using the format option and reloaded, but I still cannot refresh my library nor safely remove my portable device. I'm not so concerned with refreshing the library as I am with removing the MP3 player from my computer safely. I've even tried going the "my computer" route. Nothing. There is no option to remove portable device on my menu bar on the desktop neither.
I've tried restarting the computer. I have the most current updates. What else can I do? Should I just keep unplugging it with out removing the portable MP3 player device safely? Have I fried my poor MP3 player beyond repair?
Please Help!
Thanks...
T.

Ok first, if you're using XP, make sure you click on the little "arrow in a circle that points to the left" on the bottom of your screen (should be near your clock). Make sure your "Safely remove Hardware" icon isn't hidden there.
If it's not there, I would recommend you try reinstalling the MP3 Player. Generally speaking, pulling it out when you haven't clicked "Safetly Remove..." won't actually hurt it as long as the computer has finished communicating with it. However! I did say GENERALLY, meaning there is a potential of damaging your MP3 player.
I hope this helps, most likely you'll have to go with Route #2 being that the program isn't working right, but hopefully it won't be too bad for you.

It's unlikely that you've fried the player from removing it without "stopping" it. I'd try reinstalling any software you got with your mp3 player. If this dosen't work, try looking for Samsung driver updates; should be a function to do this in the Samsung Media Studio menu.

There is nothing wrong with removing hardware without safely removing it. It just means that if it is being used it might freeze your computer.
