Sansa connect blue dot does not support files

The bottom of the unit houses the proprietary USB port and the 3. There's even a built-in speaker on the rear of the device--of course, you just get mono audio out of it, but it's still a nice touch. The whole thing has a polished, high-quality feel that is uncharacteristic of most previous SanDisk devices, which are positioned as budget MP3 players. Also uncharacteristic is the Sansa Connect's relative lack of traditional MP3 player features.

There's no video support, no recording capabilities, and no FM tuner, though this last detail is not entirely necessary as the player can pick up Yahoo's free LaunchCast stations provided you're connected to Wi-Fi.

Naturally, MP3 files are also supported. You can also view photos on the device. In fact, you can browse photos on the go through Flckr, which is another neat wireless feature. The Connect's wireless capabilities are neat, though not without limitations. For example, the player currently cannot get past a "Terms and conditions" page, so if the nearest open Wi-Fi has one such as with CNET's public Wi-Fi and much of the Wi-Fi found at hotels , you won't be able to get on SanDisk is working on a fix.

Also, unlike the Slacker device , the Connect doesn't cache the Internet radio stations--nor does it hop on to satellite signals--so if you're moving around and listening to "radio" or streaming from the YMU service, you're music will cut out.

Sure, this happens with terrestrial radio, but only after you go several miles--Wi-Fi range is considerably less about a half a block. However, the player will let you handpick songs from the YMU service provided you're a subscriber , which is something the Slacker player does not do, and it will save "mixes" to the device.

You can also send music recommendations to other Connect users or to anyone on your Yahoo Messenger list--all you need is a Yahoo ID. Plus, the player grabs firmware updates wirelessly, which means you never have to connect to your PC to get the latest features.

On the whole, Wi-Fi performance was great--it's even quite simple to get onto protected networks provided you have the wireless key , and the Connect will remember your preferred networks so you don't have to enter the key more than once.

It must be noted, however, that not every Wi-Fi network provides a hassle-free connection experience. My home network, for example, is set up specifically to get a Mac computer to work with a non-Mac-compatible router, and this presented some problems for the Connect.

You can also enable SFTP as you create the account. For more information on these types of storage accounts, see Storage account overview. The account redundancy option of the storage account is set to either locally-redundant storage LRS or zone-redundant storage ZRS.

The hierarchical namespace feature of the account must be enabled. If you're connecting from an on-premises network, make sure that your client allows outgoing communication through port The SFTP uses that port. In the Azure portal , navigate to your storage account. This option appears only if the hierarchical namespace feature of the account has been enabled. If no local users appear in the SFTP configuration page, you'll need to add at least one of them.

To add local users, see the next section. Instead, you must use an identity called local user that can be secured with an Azure generated password or a secure shell SSH key pair. To grant access to a connecting client, the storage account must have an identity associated with the password or key pair. That identity is called a local user. In this section, you'll learn how to create a local user, choose an authentication method, and then assign permissions for that local user.

In the Add local user configuration pane, add the name of a user, and then select which methods of authentication you'd like associate with this local user. While you can enable both forms of authentication, SFTP clients can connect by using only one of them.

Multifactor authentication, whereby both a valid password and a valid public and private key pair are required for successful authentication is not supported. If you select Secure with a password , then your password will appear when you've completed all of the steps in the Add local user configuration pane.

Now connect the player to the computer and check if it gets recognized or not. Jonathan Bailey: OK now recognized like its old self again. Kyle Ahmed: So the player is getting recognized now and alos showing up in Windows Media player, am I correct? Jonathan Bailey: I have not checked media player yet Jonathan Bailey: it is recognized in Explorer Kyle Ahmed: Please disconnect the player from the computer. Kyle Ahmed: Lets check the Firmware version of the player.

Let me know once you are in the main menu of the player. Kyle Ahmed: Provide me the firmware version of the player please. Jonathan Bailey: Version V Kyle Ahmed: It seems that the version version is up to date. Kyle Ahmed: The reason why it took longer to refresh media earlier must be because of the large quantity of songs that were transferred which may take time to read. Kyle Ahmed: You were facing a temporary issue which was resolved by resetting the player and refreshing the drivers of your computer.

Kyle Ahmed: You should not face any issues further.
