    Original title: Media Player over-population

    Since last summer, I bought a new computer, the W7 Media Player reproduces all my music and playlists, when I open it.  He can make it up to 5 times.  I watched or a means of control of files it is seeking.  I tried to "withdrawal" title and duplicate files.  They come back with a vengeance every time. How can I stop this?

    Hi Dwight,.

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

    1. you have any security program installed in the computer?

    2. are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

    You can run the Troubleshooter to library and check. You can also run the Windows Media player settings Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    I suggest to fix the Windows Media database as it might have become corrupted.

    Method 1: To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on 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.

    Method 2: If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. If you run Windows 7, click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

    c. Select the folder Media Playerand then click delete on the file menu.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  • Burn music and playlists on a DVD to play in another computer?

    I have a lot of music and playlists on a single computer.  I would like to take to work with me.  Work, however, I cannot transfer my music and playlists on their machine.

    I burn a lot of music on a DVD before, but had to build a playlist on the other computer.  Is there a way to create and burn a playlist that will point to the music on the disc?

    You can try to burn the DVD in Windows Media Player, and then try to read the music files on the other machine & check if it works very well.

  • 9.3.2 iOS doesn't let me play my music and playlists. I simply press the icon of the song or playlist and it blocks the entire application

    I went into my music and tried to watch my playlists but right as I clicked it the whole app just crashes, even with just clicking on my songs. And they never load completely. My phone had a lot of problems and it is fairly new but Apple just says it's perfectly fine.

    Hi Grayhmm,

    I understand you encounter some problems of access to your content to Apple's music using the music app on your iPhone. I know it's important to have reliable access to your members of Apple's music! I want to make a few suggestions that can help you.

    Given that you have noticed the music app if crush, I recommend you restart your iPhone first. Once you have restarted the unit, open the music application and see if you still notice any problems.

    If the problem persists after restarting the iPhone, try to connect to your Apple ID in settings > iTunes and App Store. This will you sign out of your account Apple music and will remove all content you have saved on your device for offline listening. To do this, go to settings > iTunes and App Store and tap your Apple ID at the top of this page. Choose the option to disconnect, then connect you to the back using your Apple ID and password. Once you have signed in, open the music application and see if you continue to note any problems.

    Take care!

  • Music and playlists suddenly disappeared?

    Hello, I opened my iTunes this morning and I find that I only about 100 songs of my 80 GB of music. The songs that do not appear in my library seem to be in the clouds where there is a symbol of download of cloud beside them. If I click on "Get Info" for the song, no location is displayed. I opened the iTunes preferences and check the location of my music and that's okay... All my music is in this place, the files are still on my computer but not in iTunes. In addition, all my playlists are gone too. Help!

    Preferences didn't tell iTunes where to look for the media, it doesn't mean that iTunes where to store the data added from there on.

    Launch iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder (assuming that you are using the default settings).  iTunes does not normally lose to this place, unless you use a library on another drive, but since you have not mentioned that at the beginning I must assume that you are using the default configuration.

  • Color Developer Edition theme lost when I run sync and restarted, how to retrieve?

    I started using Firefox Developer Edition and I turned on sync so I can sync it with the current version of Firefox I have used so far. Synchronization worked fine, but when I restarted Firefox, the developer edition came with the non developer edition version look of Firefox. I went in the framework of customization and turned on "Use Firefox Developer Edition Theme" and it changed everything except the color. Rather than be the default black that it was originally installed with, now uses the default gray color which is the default value for the version not developer. How can I get the developer edition look of Firefox to its default appearance?

    I was actually able to understand this question. The problem was not with Firefox themes, it had to do with the theme of developer tool bar. He used the Firebug theme and not the default theme.

    If you go into the developer tool bar options can change the theme here that affects the whole browser (instead of just the toolbar) developer chrome.
