• Why not Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize w4a files in the library list more.

  I have Windows XP Pro (SP3) with Windows Media Player 11. I had a virus wipe my hard drive (everything has been updated) and after reinstalling and updating everything, it no longer recognizes the w4a files, but it automatically plays them the OMP 11 if I click on the file in Windows Explorer.

  Before the accident, all the files on my computer w4a was included in the library. Now the entire albums, as well as individual songs are missing. In fact, now NO w4a file is listed. So my question is, why does Windows Media Player 11 recognize the w4a files?

  Hello

  Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the link below and check if it helps.

  a. close Windows Media Player.
  b. find the file of database on the computer that contains the entries of your library. In general, the library database file (CurrentDatabase_219.wmdb) is located in the following directory:
  (Drive :) Users/xxx(the user name)/Appdata/local/Microsoft/Media Player
  c. right click on the file and then click Rename.
  d. rename the file by changing its file .bak extension.
  e. start the player. When you do so, a new database of library file is created.
  f. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to Library dialog box search for computers.
  g. click the Browse button to search for a folder on your computer that contains digital media files. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.
  h. click on the search button.
  The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

  Method 2:
  You may need to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player.
  Here's how:
  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
  a. exit Windows Media Player.
  b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
  c. Select all files in the folder and then click on 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.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Media Player 11 does not recognize the iPod nano

  I have Media Player 9 installed on my Windows XP computer. It didn't recognize my iPod Nano. I downloaded MP 11 - still, there is no recognized my Nano. I don't see an ' Add' button when I click on Tools_Options_Devices, so I can't understand how to add it in. Help, please!

  the iPod is not compatible with WMP, the only way is to download iTunes and do it this way.

  I had the same problem.

• My copy of windows media player 11 does not play video.

  My copy of windows media player 11 does not play video. When you try to play the video (usually an avi file) I get audio and visualization. I tried to uninstall and install new, but does not. I chose also to all types of files media player by default but video still does not play.

  An avi file is simply a container that may have different types of files in it for video and audio.

  You probably don't have the correct Codec to play the video.

  Either download a codec pack such as K-lite or download a little program called G-spot, open it and drag your avi file in the center of the small window of G-spot.

  It will then tell you what Codec uses the avi file. You can then Google that particulat Codec, download and install it.

  See you soon,.

• When I copy a CD in Windows Media Player 11 does not apply media information.

  With the XP sp3 operating system, I rip the CD purchased and Windows Media Player 11 does not apply media information. Either he gives and error saying that it cannot be done because I am not connected to the internet while I'm connected, or it can recognize my internet connection, but I have to do a manual search and manually apply the name of each track, even if they are present and order under each line I have to click to match the name of the correct track.

  It's so frustrating to have to fight manually for applied information on the media which is clearly presented, and after all, album art that shows correctly in the finder info media constantly refuses to fill in the library and I have to go to a separate Web site and copy and paste it in. Yes, he found elsewhere on the internet, with the help of the connection which was present all along!

  It's crazy, the info is already there! And why do I go online in any case the info is in the CD? This doesn't seem to be a problem with the previous players. Please provide a fix for this useless, frustrating dinosaur, waste of time, a process!

  Hello rockys_rod,

  To fix it, simply remove your old library files. Then have Windows Media Player find your new files. It will not destroy your music files.

  How to get WMP to re - index your music:

  1. close Microsoft Media Player.
  2. click on Start and then run
  3. in the box, type the following:
  [list] %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

  4. click on OK and a folder containing your library files will be displayed
  5. delete all files ending with .wmdb
  6. open Microsoft Media Player
  7. press F3
  8. Select the addresses of your music files
  9 WMP will re-index your music.

  If this does not help, try the FixIt in the article below:

• Windows 7 64 bit does not recognize the USB external drive HARD Stor E art 3.5 "

  I buy the art external disk HARD Stor E 3.5 "and spend a few days in windows does not recognize the HARD drive. Try to connect the drive to other USB 2 ports and nothing happens. Use a USB to see if has been a problem with the USB ports, but all 3 are OK. Try it on the laptop Asus and windows 7 recognizes the HARD disk. I formatted the drive in NTFS FS. In managing records do not show the external HARD disk. What can I do to fix this?

  My laptop is a Qosmio F60

  This is a really silly situation. It can be recognized by other laptops but not your Qosmio.
  According to the description of your HARD drive when connected simply doesn t exist for your Qosmio laptop.

  Some other HDD is recognized correctly?
  What you can try is to reinstall the chipset driver, restart the laptop and test it again.

  Since when you have this problem? Some installed updates of the last days?

• Windows Media Center EPG does not have the correct data

  Windows Media Center EPG on my computer is so ugly!

  Description is separated in two, and it's always the last part that displays first, so you'll have to roll down to the bottom to read the description.

  The series is difficult to use, because the series 1) is not always marked as series (so you can select 'plain' Record), and 2) the title contains often series of numbering (e.g. "the bodyguards (1:6)"), so even if it is marked as a series, it will record ever "Guards body (2:6)" or other titles (the Media Center will just try to record any episode of "Bodyguards (1:6)").

  It is the broadcaster who create * data, and then displays in Media Center via Broadcasting Dataservices Ltd., or who are the last to blame?

  What is MS Media Center that does not have the correct data?

  I am in Denmark, if this has an impact on the response.

  Thank you and best regards!

• Windows Media Player 11 does not show my CD playlist automatically; "Find Album Info" in library works, if...

  Hello and thank you for reading my post.

  I just configured Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 after that he downloaded automatically by Microsoft Update and is surprised that, when I insert a CD purchased in the store in one (1) of my two 2 CD drives, he would recognize that a CD is here and with the right number and durations of his songs, but it would NOT automatically identify the CD and these songs.

  I found that I could get this information by manually entering the library (even if I don't permanently transfer the tracks on my hard drive at all), right-clicking on a tracks is on the air and by selecting Find Album Info... a few steps after that and all is filled in the playback in WMP, but the NEXT CD requires the same steps for ITS information appear here as well.

  Do you have any ideas about this, please?  I think I checked all the right boxes, but would walk by them with you gladly to the case where.
