Watch Folder E Drive?
I purchased a Philips Gogear vibe. After having it for about a week, I got a pop up of an error that says "Your watch folder at (E:) Is no longer available. No changes will be made to your library but the tracks contained in your watched folder will no longer play until the watched folder becomes available again."
I've reset my mp3 player back to factory settings, (and lost the 377 songs that were on it.), Uninstalled the Songbird app that the MP3 player requires to put music on it. I have been in contact with the company, and am receiving a new mp3 player in the mail, but, what do i have to do to fix it, so the same problem wont happen with the new one I am receiving.
My mp3 player will not sync up to the laptop. it does acknowledge it though. the laptop even gets a pop up saying the device is connected, and I get the option to add music to it. but it will not add music to it, since it will not sync up. The error pop up shows up before I even connect the device, via usb cord.

Hi...
Yours and every body Else's computer has letters allocated to storage devices...
(MP3 players that store mp3 files are also storage devices)..
These drive letters can change and will change if other storage devices are used on your computer flash drives ETC...
And the order multiple devices are connect will also change drive letters ..
When this happens the path / address changes...
Any music library will then have a broken link (address) to the music files...
Any watch folders address will change..
Here is how to fix it....(Be for you install any software)
Manually allocate a drive letter well beyond the lower alphabet letters that your computer automatically allocates , that way it should not change .. (any high letter s,t,u,v, w,x,y,z etc) will do.
Connect storage device
Windows start key > Run box type" Admin" > Administrative tools >Computer management> Disc management>Right click the storage device and select "Change drive letter and path"....
PS ....
You could have used the above to reinstate "E" and your folder watch and library would have been OK again..
But with out the steps i have listed the allocated drive letter would change again at some future point.
PPS...
This happened to my itunes stored on an external drive , the music would not play until i found the fix.

The message was to inform you that your device was disconnected from your computer, and that you wouldn't be able to use the files until you reconnect it. That is not an error, and it would not affect your mp3 players playing capability, it just means that you cannot play the files on the computer without the device plugged in. you pointlessly erased your mp3 player, and contacted the company for nothing. person above is 100% wrong.
