• I can't sync my iPod to Windows Media Player. WMP does not recognize the iPod and I can't drag music files between them

  My iPod is connected to the computer and it works fine with iTunes.  But I can't get the music in Windows Media Player to iPod.  When I try to sync in Windows Media Player, it does not recognize the iPod, and I can drag files from WMP to iTunes or the iPod.

  You cannot synchronize an Apple product in itself using WMP, unless you buy a 3rd party. You must use iTunes.

  See you soon,.

• Media Player 12 does not recognize removable media (drive letters, sd cards, compact flash, usb, android phones drives) as a synchronized device. Running under 7 64-bit.

  Tried and tried to make it work. According to announcements of Microsoft on removable media, you can synchronize however every time I try to get Media Player 12 to sync it search devices and just empty. I have connected devices and they have drive letters in Windows Explorer. I even clicked on the link 'open as a portable device' in Windows Explorer and then went back to media player and it doesn't. I can open whatever music is on the device in the file menu in media player. In mp 11 I could synchronize throughout the day with my removable devices. I just thought they had disabled this feature until I read that you're supposed to be able to do. I connected my Samsung Captivate as memory mass and tried as well, but obviously missed. I plugged as an MTP device and in Windows Explorer, the Autoplay option is "Sync digital media files to this device using Windows Media Player". So I think this will be a safe work, I try several times, restart the computer and the phone. Recognized again in Windows Explorer, everything seems like there should be no driver issue, but Media Player still does not recognize my camera! Help!

  Update: I left a removable USB enclosure to connect for three years and a half hours. I've forgotten about it with media player running, came back and noticed, it was listed as a device in media player. So it looks like you could synchronize this right? FAKE! I dragged music to synchronize with it and the sync button is grayed. A lot of space on the device. Well, what about MP now recognizes the drive, I'll unplug the unit and then plug it back in and maybe will correct some glitch MP knows. Wrong again! New MP can't find the device! I thought that software/computers were supposed to get faster not taking 3.5 hours to connect a device and then maybe someday in the future, you can synchronize your device. But at this point don't still no luck. I just thought that Microsoft has decided to get rid of the features within the MP to synchronize removable devices because I could never get this far until reading last night it is supposed to work with key cards, usb sd and removable media. After having no luck in getting MP to reconnect to my USB stick, I erased the cache device thinking that would help, but no, he didn't.

  Another update: when I connect my phone as a MTP device, AutoPlay rises and there is an option to synchronize with Windows Media Player. When I click on this option, MP opens and then said: "searching for devices" and never find the "SGH-I897" (Samsung Captivate). Anyway if I go up as mass storage or the DPW Windows device sees and I can move the files, but cannot get the Media Player to find it or recognize it! It should be simple enough for where Windows Media Player should be.

  It worked for me, once put into automatic I clicked on the Start button and the rebooted enumerator. I restarted WMP and there was my flash drive in the synchronization domain.

  Thank you!!

• Windows does not recognize the iPod device

  installs of XP | Files, folders & storage>

  Windows 7 Pro.

  My iPod Touch will contact the iTunes computer software, but the computer won't recognize as a device, so pictures and videos cannot be transferred back through Explorer or software with call Explorer.

  A Google search seems to suggest that many face the same problem, but none of the proposed fixes work.  Device Manager or Explorer does not show the iPod.

  Oddly, this function worked at one point and there are several pictures and videos to the iPod, but now they cannot be removed or add others.

  I think that it is essentially a problem of iPod, but I hope that help Windows will help me solve the problem.

  I will move this thread to the neighborhood where you posted for the region of Windows 7, but if the following does not help, you should probably ask your question in Apple's iTunes for--> https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows in the Windows XP forum

  It seems to me that if the driver for the iPod is not installed or is corrupted.  It may seem like overkill, but I suggest to remove completely all Apple software and then put it back.  This should not affect your iTunes library (music, etc.), but it is always prudent to make a backup before doing anything like that.

• 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.

• iTunes does not recognize my ipod nano

  iTunes does not recognize my nano after the interview there.

  What 'maintenance' has been done for her?  What was the problem that required it to be repaired?

  If possible, try another USB docking cable to rule out a defective as cable being the cause.

  When you connect it, look at the screen of the iPod.  He said 'do not disconnect' or 'Connected' or give an indication to be connected?   Or does only show the symbol of battery?  Or not it reacts at all to be connected?

  Downloaded 5 music files on iPod Shuffle from Windows Media Player 9, Windows XP operating system. After installing Windows 7, cannot get the WMP recognize iPod Shuffle when it is connected to the PC to synchronize, or download music new and additional files. I have to go back to WMP 9 to this get rid of WMP 11?

  Hi Rebeni,

  This is what iTunes installed on your computer?

  IPod is designed to be used with iTunes. Windows media player cannot sync with iPod shuffle, you must install the plugin for windows media player sync with iPod to third party.

  NOTE: Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be resolved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Check if the iPod shuffle is getting recognized in Device Manager.

  i. click Startand then click run.

  II. type devmgmt.msc, and then click OK. Open the Device Manager window.

  III. in the Device Manager search for the name of the device

  Go back with the results.

• PC does not recognize the ipod when I plug in the USB cord.

  I have an ipod touch, and it will replace my old ipod.  When I plug the USB cord, nothing is recognized by the computer.  It is also not recognize my old ipod when I plug it now.  I have other devices that use a USB cord, and they work as they should.

  Apple told me to check with Security Essentials to see if they are blocking a pilot... I am quite at a loss.  It's the ipod or it is safety, or is it the computer?

  I tried everything on separate computers, and they don't always work.

  Any help is appreciated!

  It is not MSE-you get a warning if it were.  Try another cable or try on another PC.  It sounds like the cable might be the problem if all of a sudden or iPod works.

• Media Player 12 does not recognize devices of "play to."

  I've upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium and am using Media Player 12.  I set up the drive using all the instructions here:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/stream-your-media-to-devices-and-computers-using-Windows-Media-Player

  On the left side it shows my DirecTV receiver and 2nd laptop under the menu libraries.  It also will allow me access to the libraries on the other laptops.

  But when I try and stream to another device using ' play to ' in the upper right, there is no evidence in the drop-down menu that does get 'no devices found media. "

  Any ideas on how to fix?

  Thank you!

  Ok.  Figured out for laptops at least.

  Click on the "flow" menu drop down, one then make sure that "allow the remote control of my player" is checked.

  To do this on two laptops.  Now, works great.

  Looking through the forums of DIRECTV on this receiver.

• pilot (4thGen) Apple i-touch for xpsp3 (computer Dell does not recognize the ipod/itouch)

  Hey group,

  I just bought an i-Touch used on Ebay.  I have two computers: Dell 8300 and Toshiba Satellite.  Both run Win. XP SP3 (Build 2600 - Version 5.1.2600.5512) here's the twist: the laptop recognizes it is not the case of the desktop computer.  Suggestions for Apple do not seem to help me.  I downloaded the latest versions of i-Tunes for both systems.   Obviously, there must be a missing driver from Dell.  Help me Obi Wan.
