• Windows Media Center does not recognize an Entone Hydra box/remote control cable

  I'm putting in place the WMC to work with my cable box Entone. It's not satellite, this is the area used by CCC Southslope in Eastern Iowa. There is no section Entone for activation of the box, automatic remote recognition does not take into account. When I try to teach my cable remote codes manually it will "key to continue" but never moves from the teaching of the 1 button for button 2.  I am sure that the IR receiver works and is properly plugged in, and that the batteries in the remote are fresh.

  Make sure the distance between the IR receiver and the remote control is quite close, there are no obstacles between the two and the whole set up is not under the direct fluorescent light.

  I'm going to suggest you go through the following article: -.

• Windows Media Player does not recognize the new downloaded songs

  I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Went to: start == > Control Panel == > troubleshooting == > view all == > and ran troubleshooting on the library and the settings of WMP.

  Convenience store detected library corrupt and "in media files appear in the WMP library.  Then ran convenience store on WMP settings which reset OMP to default settings.  After that, everything worked as announced.

• Windows Media Player does not recognize the device (iphone)

  I'm trying to download music from Windows Media Player on my iphone. I can get the files in the synchronization section but the Media Player does not recognize my device or seem to have a way to connect. Can anyone help?

  You will need to install iTunes. The iTunes Setup program adds drivers and services for the iPhone. That's what I do:

  1. Once iTunes is installed, it allows to import all the music in Windows Media Player.
  2. If you want to automatically download album art, you will need to register for an iTunes Store account. Otherwise, just copy the album art from Windows Media Player:
  a. at a command prompt, cd in each music folder.
  b. attrib s h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
  c. xcopy AlbumArt * %tmp% Large.jpg
  d. attrib + s + h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
  e e.. now, for each album in iTunes, right click and choose 'Get Info'. Drag & drop the corresponding JPG of %tmp% in the field "Cover Art" and click OK.
  3. connect your iPhone. Select "Manually manage music" on the screen of the iPhone.
  4. click on the icon on the left side of iTunes music. Make sure that all the music that you want to synchronize has an audit. (This is the default).
  5 Select and drag it to the icon of the iPhone.

  You say "my computer XP and Vista" are this one computer dual boot with XP and Vista, or is - the two computers 'single '?

  If it happened "yesterday" did you updated anything or whatever installed?

  Having only happened yesterday have you tried a "System Restore" to see if this corrects the problem?

  What TV card are you using and have you verified that this works correctly?

  If you get not a photo is the antenna in place properly?

• Windows Media Center does not record the calendar.

  Planning to record a program, but sometimes lapsed time up to the point where it does not record. I am running Windows 7 Home. Yes, I checked preferences but which differs only up to 15 minutes max.  I have reinstalled twice already. Why please?

  Hello

  (1) did you make any changes before the show?

  (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

  Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

  -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.

  
  -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

  -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

  a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
  b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

  I would have you refer to the article below:

• Tecra M4 - DVD player does not recognize discs in Vista

  Hello

  After the installation of Vista my dvd player does not recognize discs!
  No update XP! It was a clean install of Vista.

  I found several links on the upper filter and lower registry entries this entry does not exist in my registry under the CDROM class.

  I tried the XP disk it works fine and recognizes all.
  Drivers are installed correctly no problem in Device Manager is invited.

  So I have no idea how to run it, seems to be a Vista problem

  Could someone help me? I am really frustrated to this topic

  Thanks for your help

  Maybe this helps:

  -Remove the drive from Device Manager CD/DVD.
  -Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
