iMac not recognizing MP3 player?

[blurb23]

I just plugged in my iRiver iFP-895 into one of my Alu iMac's USB ports on the keyboard.

The player itself displays a "USB connected" message on it's screen, but my iMac isn't show that it's connected. There's no icon under the Macintosh HD as there usually is with removable devices, and iTunes isn't picking up anything.

I'm assuming I have to install drivers for it (my Windows PCs detected it without having to install any drivers, I thought my iMac would as well), but I'm having trouble finding drivers for OS X. I don't have a copy of Windows for Boot Camp or anything, and all my Windows PCs are inoperable at the moment.

Anyone know how I can connect it so that I can put some music on it through iTunes, or if there's an alternative?

There's a Music Manager for iFP series players here, which should get it working.

Thanks!

Are there any alternatives to it? I tried it, and while it works, I find it to be horribly slow and the interface is pretty clunky.

Is there any way to get iTunes to recongize it, like WMP (on a PC) does? Or does iTunes only work with iPods?

I don't think so, sorry. This looked promising (albeit old) but the site has been turned into a facebook app now.

i think this has to be enabled for disk use otherwise its default i think is set to just let WMP handle everything..

hope this helps

then iriver should show up as a harddisk or something

best of luck...
