• Cannot delete file in windows Media Player

  I can delete video files from Windows Media Player. I think that I deleted them before somehow but standard photos (balloon, balloons) always appear in video library for all deleted files and try right-click and delete is not remove them from the library. There is no error message when you try to remove them and when you try to play them you get Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. I don't want to play the file I want to just delete it.

  You probably need to reset the library to get rid of the files in the library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt.

• Try to remove deleted files from the Media Player library

  There are video files in my Windows Media Player library that I deleted, but items still appear in my video library.  When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens.  The video files were originally in the folder my music and I deleted them using the Explorer.  However, they still appear in the Media Player library (even if they are not functional - because I have deleted!).  I followed what Umesh suggested GregRN, but that doesn't seem to work for me.  How can I get rid of deleted files appear in the Media Player library?   I use a HP Pavilion dv4 using Windows 7 (64-bit).

• Transfer a file from Windows Media Player library to iTunes library

  I recently downloaded 5 songs mp3 that I paid for, expecting to go on my iTunes account after the opening of each of them. They went into the Windows Media Player on my computer instead. How can I get these on my account iTunes so I can sync it to my iPod? I don't see anything on the Windows Media Player or iTunes to share between them.

  The following article will help to find the music on your computer.

  Where are my iTunes files located?

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT1391

  All you need to do is add the songs to your new iTunes library.

  Adding music and other content on iTunes

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT1473

  1. Open iTunes
  2. On the file menu:
  3. Add the file to the library
  4. Add a folder to the library
  5. Find and select the file or folder you want to add

  If iTunes is set to "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library", iTunes copy all content is added to the library of iTunes for the iTunes Music folder. To set this parameter, or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in the iTunes preferences.

  Hi zztopzztop,

  Instead of a new user account, you can move the public folder of music, and from there the two accounts are accessible and played.

  Check out the link:

  If you want to continue copying, then you can copy if the default location for the new user account.

  Sign in with the user account that you may have created. To ensure that this new user account has administrator privileges.

  a. open the Explorer, click on organize, and select folder and Search Options

  b. click the display and check the option Show hidden files and folders box and click OK to save the settings.

  Now navigate to your C:\Users\(Old Username folder) and copy all the files and folders in the folder C:\Users\(Old Username) in the C:\Users\(New Username folder).

  I suggest you to clear the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem still occurs.

  To do:

  a. press the Windows key + R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  b. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  d. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  a. press the Windows key + R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

  b. Select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  c. restart Windows Media Player.

• I have a problem with adding and deleting files in Windows Media Player.

  Media Player will not play the selected files but then goes on to play other files. When I delete the files from the media player and try re - add I get the message "the media player is installed incorrectly. Have tried to reinstall media player, but it always fails at the implementation stage. It seems that the link between the player and the music files has been corrupted. Further, I have not found another way to read these files! They are referred to as Windows media audio files. Is that mean that only Media Player can read? I have hundreds of music files. Any help please? I can't upgrade XP on this computer so intended to stick with it for another year or so.

• Protected by digital rights management and cannot add music from windows media player to windows movie maker

  Original title: I can't add music from my windows media player to my windows movie maker?

  I made a video with windows movie maker and when I tried to add music from my windows media player, I got a message that says that my music is protected by digital rights management and it would'nt I will add the music.i have made a film before, and I could add music.the music in my Media Player is from my own cd collection. then how will I can't add music to my windows movie maker?

  Movie Maker probably only supports unprotected WMA files.

  WMA files will be protected if they were torn apart by WMP with the copy protect music setting (Options of WMP - music Rip) turned on. For an unprotected WMA, you will need to re - rip track, after being assured that this setting is disabled.
