System Requirements for an MTP Device

The devices listed below use Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) for connecting to a PC. MTP provides a more secure environment in Windows for important system files on your device.

MTP Connectivity Requires the Following:

  • Windows XP with service pack 3 or later
  • Windows Media Player 11 or later

If you are using the device on a Mac, the device will connect to the computer using standard mass storage mode instead of MTP mode.
