Hi,



I've already spent several hours trying to figure this out, reading

forums and suggestions, trying different things, and not succeeding at

all. So, I decided to post my problem on here.



I have a Samsung YP-S2 (Pebble). With the device, I had to install

Samsung Media Studio. Everything was working great until a couple of

weeks ago. I plugged in my device to add new songs, BUT Samsung Media

Studio won't recognize it...so I can't do anything.



Now, I noticed that My Computer lists the device as "unspecified" now.

It used to list it as a portable device. I opened Device Manager to see

if it's also listed as unspecified. However, it's listed under Portable

Devices AND Disk Drives. (Is this okay?) I can't figure out how to

change it to portable device under My Computer...and I'm not really sure

if it would make a difference anyway.



So...I began looking at other users with a similar problem, looked at

the Samsung support page, and learned that it might be my drivers. I

checked my drivers under Device Manager (to which it said they were up

to date), then I deleted the device and had my computer reinstall the

drivers, etc., and last I re-installed Samsung Media Studio. Still, it

will not recognize my mp3 player. I can't figure out what is wrong.



The strange thing is that I can sync my mp3 player with Windows Media

Player. I was able to add songs. Of course, I can't see the playlist

under Windows Media Player; I have to open the folder under My Computer

to see the list of songs and delete them. Can anyone tell me what is

wrong? Is it something directly wrong with my mp3 player (because it

works fine and charges), something wrong with Vista, or something wrong

with Samsung Media Studio???



Thanks for reading.

Your Upper and Lower filters are the cause of your issue



See the following MS KB article and follow the manual fix for Vista. Ignore the

Title and everything else. Just delete the Upper and Lower filters and then reboot
