Hi Steve,

Which USB port on the iriver are you using? It has to be the second one on
the
bottom (if you look at the bottom of the unit, there's two ports next to one
another.
Use the one on the right). Also, try connecting the cord first and then
turning it on.

If it still doesn't work, let us know.
