mp3 player not recognised

I use a creative mp3 player. it would show on the desktop and in iTunes, but now doesn't. It shows in the USB list as connected but I cannot access it or click and drag songs onto it anymore. I have only done updates and nothing else.
How can I get the Mac to pick up the mp3 player again?

G5 2006, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hello! Have you tried using the repair disk function of disk utility on it? Tom

first thing to do is test the mp3 player on another computer. if it works there, the problem is on the mac, if it doesn't you need to talk to creative.
