My mp3 player is no longer recognized by the Media Player. I have Windows Vista 64-bit. That's happened?

I have a 8 GB Sony Walkman I used for a few years.  A couple of days, I went to load some more songs on it, and my computer would not recognize it not more.  The message is 'USB device not recognized '.  That's happened?  I'm basically computer illiterate.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Use the following suggestion:
  1. Start the player, your device and connect it to your computer. If you are prompted, select the AutoPlay option to sync the device using Windows Media Player.
  1. Do one of the following:
  2. If the player has selected to sync your device automatically, click Finish. When you do so, the Player syncs your entire library to your device. After that, your device will automatically sync whenever you connect it to your computer while Windows Media Player is running.

I hope this helps with your question.

  • How can I get music from my mp3 player in my Windows Media Player on my computer?

    I'm just trying to get the songs on my mp3 player on my computer.  I was told I could use Windows Media Player to do this. How?

    What mp3 player?

    Try this: plug in your mp3 player and when XP recognizes it open up Windows Explorer then Tools > file options > make sure Show Hidden Files etc. is checked. Your mp3 should theoretically appear in the roor on the left file pane. Then copy and paste to your PC/laptop

    The above of course depends on which mp3 player you have. Some appear as a storage device to mass media (where you can see their "hard drive") but others don't.

    There are two different versions of Flash Player for Windows (3 If you count Chrome)

    ActiveX which is ONLY for IE,

    Flash Player for other browsers which is for Opera, Safari and Firefox, and

    "PepperFlash" that is built into Chrome by Google.

    Download the tool or another browser version will have NO EFFECT on Chrome.

    Download of the ActiveX version WILL NOT install a plugin for Opera or Firefox because they do not use controls ActiveX - NO browser but IE uses not since about 2001.

    Download Adobe Flash Player for Firefox and Opera setup directly by clicking on the following link.

    can be a good choice.

  • Problem installing flash player 11.0.1.152 with Windows Vista 64-Bit

    Hello

    I can't get Flash Player to install on my computer with Windows Vista 64-Bit - is not serious if I try with Firefox, Opera or IE (usually, I use Firefox).

    The download is not a problem, but when I run the .exe downloaded, the file disappears from my download folder and nothing happens - not to mention that the launch of a process called install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih_3.exe, which does nothing. The usual installation popup never appears. After that I can not try to start the installation again, until the deactivation of the process via the Task Manager ("that one instance of this application can run"). No matter if I try the download and installation with or without 'McAffe security more' btw - same result.

    I have never had such a problem before - Flash Player 10.3 has been and no problem to install and use.

    I tried all the measures proposed in the troubleshooting section on the official website, including measures for advanced troubleshooting (uninstall the old version, run as administrator, disable the software firewall, disable antivirus, etc.). Nothing helps.

    I have never had these problems with my laptop running Windows 7 - just my desktop computer with Vista 64-bit.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Installation of XP is no longer recognized by the Setup disk after Format of Partition

    Hey all,.

    In short, my problem is that I have an installation of XP (home or professional) intact windows, but after deleting another partition, the computer does not start to it. My question is what are all the things needed for a computer can be started on the windows partition - even just to the loading screen (which files are needed on the partition, for example boot.ini file, which must be in the MBR, how to mark a partition as bootable; etc.). Here is a description of exactly what has happened and what is the current situation:

    I was working on a friend's computer, and he asked me to delete the partition that it has not been used (D) and melt in his primary partition (C) where was the installation of Windows. I used a program called Easeus to format the partition for Windows let me to merge. The program asks for a restart, and then it is initialized to a screen where he deleted the partition, then restarted once again, probably to load Windows.

    That's where the trouble starts. Instead of windows, I have nothing else than a cursor flashing ("_") in the upper left of the screen. After 60 seconds, nothing was. I rebooted a couple of times, still no windows.

    The first thing I tried was to throw the disc to reinstall the window. I got to the screen configuration and supported on entry to choose a windows installation to repair, however he could not find one on the drive C (or D). I then tried to install Windows on drive D, hoping at least to be able to access the files on your computer with a parallel installation and then clean things later, but the installation struck a BSOD (sorry I don't have the message). The last thing I tried using the recovery console, but the only one installation of Windows that he found was on the D drive (I guess it was the remains of the failed installation that I had tried just because it contained only a few system files).

    So I still need an operating system to access the files on the C drive, so I did an installation of Fedora Linux (on a small new partition in drive D). I could check on the files and they were all intact, including the Windows system files. I could not find anything wrong with the partition, except for the apparent absence of a file boot.ini on drive C. I tried to add a boot.ini file by default (even though I wasn't sure exactly what should be in it). I can only assume that when my friend had the computer built with partition by a local technology company, they did the D drive partition bootable, but put the Windows files on the C drive. It makes no sense, but I can't find any other reason format another partition that windows would make it unbootable.

    The problem is, now, I have GRUB installed to Fedora. GRUB cannot boot directly on Windows, so he has to begin on an another bootloader that can. I think I have GRUB pointing to the right partition, but I get an error message. So, what I want to know from a point of view of Windows is everything necessary for a successful boot, assuming I can get GRUB to work on his end. What should a healthy Windows boot look - exactly, what should happen?

    The other option, of course, must do a fresh install of Windows on drive C (and hope for no BSOD more). I could put all the files on the partition of Fedora and move them back after the relocation. So what you think - is it worth a try even to save the current installation of Windows?

    Feel free to ask questions or for clarification. I have a limited capacity to test things, I have to wait until I can get to his computer. Your help is very appreciated!

  • Card SD not recognized and the error message: G: made reference to a location that is not available and may be a drive on this computer or network

    Hi James,

    1 - is the device is not detected in Device Manager?

    Step 1:

    You can try to change the drive letter and check if it helps.

    Access the link below to learn more about changing the drive letter.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-Vista/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter

    Step 2:

    Also check if the device is detected in Device Manager. Follow the steps to go to the Device Manager.

    a. Click Start, type devmgmt.msc and press to enter.

    b. Locate the device name in the list of Bus USB controllers.

    c. If you see the item on to the SD card, right-click on it and click on uninstall.

    d. restart the computer and check if that helps.

    Hope this information is useful.
