Multimedia files deleted, but still appear in media player. Hundreds of them.

Windows Media Player always shows hundreds of MP3 files that I deleted from my hard drive. Covers of albums and all. I can't remove them from the reader, but they are gone from my computer. I select Remove again, and nothing happens. If I try to play it, I learned the file has been deleted or moved. Duh. I first noticed a few months back when I deleted a file in Media Player, I had to do it twice. After the removal of the first, he came back and I would delete it again and it would be gone. I went to Windows Explorer and delete the whole directory.

I even went to "Microsoft Support" and he asked to install an ActiveX control, I said yes and then I get an error "Internet Explorer has blocked this site" by making a dangerous ActiveX control. Large.

Windows 7 with all latest updates on an i7 bought seven.

Open WMP, then press the ALT on your keyboard.  In the menu that appears, choose Tools > advanced > restore of the media library.  This should solve the problem and allow him to read system files directly, rather than the display of old deleted files.

    How to record down version Cloud Creative InDesign CS5? Exported as a file .idml but still the messages that plug-ins are missing, although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    Yes. Thank you. I based on another post misled. Successfully done this by selecting 'File', 'save a copy... ". "then choosing"for CS4 or later (IDML).

    He had little patience and several tests, but I think it was because of hardware (memory) overloaded version CC cloud or something. It was a 50 MB, file of 500 pages and took 17 minutes to convert/save,

    Recap: dnuee to CS5, do not use "Export" (IDML); use ' Save as ' or 'Save a copy' and select "for CS4 or later (IDML).

    Advice much appreciated.

  • adding new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files. (Vista)

    Since June 2010, I was not able to add new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files.  I can click on a new file and play using WMP or add to a playlist that is currently playing, but it does not recognize that it was added after as I close the program and re-open it.  Or I can delete the files that no longer exist on my computer but WMP always has them as my files.  When I click on add new media, it recognizes the right amount of files I would be adding, says to add them and then nothing is there.

    Your media library has probably been corrupted. To reset, follow the instructions for WMP 11 Vista at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too. Tim Baets

  • How do I share files on Xbox 360 without Windows Media Player or 3rd Party applications

    Windows 7 sharing media files to the xbox 360 without media player

    I know that I can use Media Player 12 in windows 7 to share files on xbox 360 using the libraies, but I used to be able to share without media player and I would like to be able to do it again, but I can't seem to get my shared folders will appear on xbox. I don't know if I need to use folders to share public or not, but someone has all the answers on this for me?

    I use my xbox 360 to watch the video content streamed from my PC pretty much every night through a continuous connection to the xbox. You do not need Media Player or any other 3rd party application to video media IF THEY ARE THE RIGHT SIZE for a XBOX, you just need the PC configured for videos, turned on and networked with the xbox

    It is simple and quick, and depending on the content, there are two methods that I use:

    (1) as Etzel42 has described - in Windows 7 Control Panel > network and sharing Center, go to Advanced sharing > Media Streaming, select "chose the flowing media options...» ». If the Xbox 360 is running and put in place on the same (Local) network as the PC it will be displayed here but the value "blocked." Just change "Authorized" and click ok. (If you do not see the Xbox 360 listed here then the Xbox and PC cannot see each other on the network. You must address this issue before anything else).

    Once that streaming media is running, the video files you want to share with the Xbox is in addition to your video library. This can be done in en allant going to the computer, right-click on the 'Vidéos' library, go to 'Properties', then include the video or files to share. As a double check that all video files are available for the Xbox, open Media Player and see if he can see all the files/folders that you added. Close Media Player now, you do not need it works for watching videos on the xbox

    Now, go to the Xbox, go to the dashboard in my Xbox and video library. You should see the name of your PC as a selection. Open it and then open the folders that you added to PCs video shops and once again, if media files are in the right play on the Xbox, watch now format!

    (2) configure the Xbox Extender and Windows Media Center, and then run Media Center on the Xbox, this will allow you to play any kind of media format on the Xbox that you can play on the PC. It is ideal to play the Xbox formats cannot be opened natively too, it's pretty darn picky.

    In both methods you have not need of any application is running on the PC. Simply be turned on and available for the Xbox via the network. The Xbox will do the rest. In fact, one nice feature of the library on the Xbox 360 is that if your PC is in standby (Sleep), Media Center will wake up the PC.

    How can I transfer video files to the library in windows media player for an external hard drive. My os is Windows XP Home Edition and I use wmp 11.

    You have to locate the files on your internal hard drive, using the Explorer, then drag and drop them on the hard drive.  If you don't know where they are on your hard drive, right click on the video file in the library and choose the location of the opened file.

  • M4a and M4P files don't show in the Media Player library

    Original title: display music files m4p in medial Microsoft Reader library

    My Itunes Music Library contains 1400 songs, my Media Player library shows only 20% of people.  Seems that m4p and m4a files do not show in the Media Player library.

    WMP 11 is not supported with built-in support for M4P and M4A (MPEG-4 audio) files. For the support of library and the tag for the latter, you need to install the plug-in in WMP Tag Plus .

    Note that M4P files are protected against copying, if WMP will probably not be able to read them.
