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

Similar Questions

• 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!!

• 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!

  I had the same problem.

• 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!

  Have you tried to delete temporary Internet files and the Cookies in Internet Explorer?

  If you temporarily disable your firewall software, which helps? This could be a third-party firewall, like Symantec, or the built-in Windows Firewall.

• 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,.

  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

• Does not recognize devices more

  I have OS X El Capitan, 10.11.3 Version.

  Since a few days, my Mac does not recognize my printer more (even if it is properly connected, says 'offline'). I can print from my iPhone / iPad via the network, but not my Mac!

  And from today, even my Mac does not recognize my external, connected sound card USB.

  I wouldn't change a thing, but my Mac doesn' recognize my hardware.

  Help!

  Try this:

  Start the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart normally. It will be slower than a normal startup.

  MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

  Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

  Repair the hard drive and permissions - El Capitan

  HD recovery start:

  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

  Repair

  When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. Disk utility charges and select Macintosh HD entry indented from the list on the left.  Click the first aid tab in the toolbar... If disk utility reports any errors that have been corrected, then re-run first aid until no errors are reported. Wait until the operation is complete, then quit disk utility and return to the main menu. Select restart from the Apple menu.

  Now, download and reinstall OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 Combo Update.

• BIOS on Satellite L350 does not recognize devices

  Hello

  I have a Satalite L350 breaking in windows after about 1 min of loading. I thought that maybe the hard drive was defective, so I tried to run a program I called PC test 6. I then discovered that the cd player would not read. I then tried a CD USB player and again it would not start a disc. After resetting the BIOS to default settings, I discovered that the BIOS is not recognizing any device other than the hard drive. I took the hard drive and tested with PC Check via another PC and HD spent.

  Now I want to reinstall windows, but the CD player does not start. I guess that the problem comes my BIOS maybe flashing (InsydeH20 version 1.5) it would work? But... no device USB and CD: S

  Any ideas that I can please?

  Hello

  I don t think that the BIOS is the problem.
  The BIOS recognized HARD drive correctly. Right?
  Well, I think that the CD/DVD drive is faulty if the BIOS cannot recognize what
  Furthermore the L350 BIOS does not support startup from the CD/DVD USB drive.
  It is not possible

  If you want to install the recovery disk operating system, then you need to replace the internal CD/DVD drive because it appears to be defective

  Of course, it's my personal choice and just a suggestion

• 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.

  Thank you very much!
