SONY MP3 PLAYER

MY MP3 SONY READER WILL NOT SYNC TO MY COMPUTER

Hello

Please do not type in capital letters as it is difficult to read and considered to be shouting.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's to an MP3 player and not all apply to an iPod (if an iPod please let us know.)

Set the MP3 MTP Mode for synchronization of WMP11/12 - mode MSC to treat the MP3 as a reader.

Tips for solving problems of USB devices - and a Mr Fixit
http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/c39bd203-f729-47a4-8351-83291e13c8a81033.mspx#EGB

Hardware devices not detected or not working - Mr. Fixit
http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/hardware_device_problems

Make sure that Windows is updated appropriately that there have been several USB updates.

1 check that the driver letters for them, for a player, if the drive of the default drive letter is changed
in this case. Mine was h: I added a device that took H: and the player stopped. So I put
Back to H: and the other device to J: and everything worked again. If necessary start - type in the search box->
Disk management is top - right click it - RUN AS ADMIN

Don't forget to remember the MP3 must be set to the PSG to sync with WMP, and meteorological service of Canada to copy and
delete files and update the firmware.

If no joy follow these steps:

You may need a powered hub. (all the USB ports on your computer are not powered, often
only 2)

Try these:

Make a Restore Point

Control Panel - Device Manager - click in the empty area - VIEW - show hidden devices

Here, your devices are the MP3 player.

Now look everywhere EXCEPT the USB controllers for your devices (cannot be found) and if you find
It RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL all.

now go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers in the category, but the category itself.

APPLY/OK

RESET

This refresh battery USB and hopefully it will allow the unit to install. (You may need a powered hub)

Here is the similar procedure in XP, Windows 7 is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
devices if it is present.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

This is a utility to help you, but do 1 above.

USBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices currently connected to your computer, as
Although all USB devices that you previously used. Run Options and check the 1st three choices to
see if one is there.

http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/usb_devices_view.html

You must remove all instances of the devices and restart.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If the above does not work (and it should be considered the preparatory work).

This works for any MP3 player when the USB stack is not corrupted:

1 player to delete and restart computer - switch to MTP mode on your MP3 player

Regardless of what brand of MP3 you have

1. check this Just In Case

http://KB.SanDisk.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/42/kW/E200 * / page/2/r_id/101834

2. does not present (web page as reference)

http://KB.SanDisk.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/192/related/1/kW/E200 * / page/2/r_id/101834

In XP: Start - RUN - CMD

In Vista/Windows 7: (Do this way!)

Start - type in the search box - find CMD top - RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

Copy and paste this command into windows XP or Vista/Windows 7 CMD - press enter

NET local service localgroup administrators / add

3. then follow:

http://KB.SanDisk.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/139/related/1/kW/E200 * / page/2/r_id/101834

I hope that your MP3 now works.

  • Books on my mp3 player audio not say they are already in MP3 and will not sync

    I try to add the 17 CD to an audio book to my mp3 player, but windows media player says that it is already on my mp3 player, AND IT IS NOT. Thus, it will not synchronize this CD on my MP3 player.  Any ideas or suggestions?

    Delete the mp3 player and try again

  • my windows media player will not sync the audio for my mp3?

    my windows media used to synchronize all audio of my mp3 player more I don't know what happens. the pc is reading being installed, but every time I try to sync the music my windows media player stops working.

    Hello RedFeather01,

    Ø you get an error when you try to run synchronize your device with the media player?

    Ø have you tried to format your Portable device and then try to synchronize?

    Ø you have the latest version of the software or the driver installed on your computer to the MP3 player?

    Try to copy the files of music from Windows Explorer. Most MP3 players will appear as a "disk" on your computer, and you can browse the files on them by simply opening.

    I suggest that you format your Portable device, and then try to sync with Media Player. To format the laptop drive:

    1. right click on the Portable media player.

    2. Select the option.

    3. choose quick format and click ok.

  • MP3 player will not play all of the music is installed

    I have several CD music on WMP all work fine. I can sync all my music on my mp3 player with plenty of space to spare, but only 3 of the CD will play on my mp3 player. All the music that I know is mp3 format, so I don't understand why it won't play music, I know that all CDs are on the mp3 because WMP already says "on the device" when I try to synchronize again. Any help and advice would be very appreciated that I don't know how to get music on my mp3. Thank you.

    Hello

    Step 1: Check if the bit rate of the file is the same one taken in charge by the MP3 player.

    Throughput is the amount of data used to create the audio stream. If they are different, in some cases, that he would not play.

    Step 2: Try to copy files via windows Explorer, then check if it is read with the MP3 player.

  • music on mp3 player will not play on a cd player

    Hello

     
    Most of the CD players support AAC, WAV file formats. However, I can't guarantee that your CD player will support these file formats. Consult the User Guide for the CD or Web site so that it supports the file formats.

    Or let us know the make a model of your CD player, I'll try to get the details for you.

  • Windows Media Player will not sync with my iPod

    I have Windows Media Player 11 on my laptop, and when I try to sync my library with my iPod, windows does not show even my iPod is connected. I made my drive by default, but I don't know what else to do.  Other programs such as iTunes and Bearshare see my camera very well, is there something else I need to download or what? I've tried everything I can think of, and I am at a loss.  Can someone help me please?

    Hi VicVicVictoria,

    Windows Media Player are not compatible with the iPod. You may need to purchase a plug-in to sync the iPod to your windows media player.

    Otherwise, you will get assistance from Apple to download and use iTunes from the IPod website.

    This is a codec package from Microsoft you want to download to see if it will be useful.  Also, try to update your Windows Media Player and Windows Update to get the latest version of the codec required to play the type of media.

    You can also use your favorite search engine to look for codec packs available on the web to help you read the content.

  • Unable to sync music using Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player will not open

    Media Center will not sync music!

    I recently opened Media Center and I had no music in the library. I have constantly played music from the library so I didn't know what is happening. When I try installing the library again once it tells me that a necessary component for Windows Media Center is not available. I have not changed or downloaded something different. I went to check if Windows media Player is the multimedia file sharing. The message I get from that is, basically, that something is missing.  Now my Windows Media Player is not even opened. I wonder if my Zune Player (80 GB) has nothing to do with the problem. I charge my player when this has happened, but I do this all the time so I am at a loss. I went to the page "problem reports and Solution." It is the symbol of the Media Center window and says that the problem is caused by Windows. The solution is to update to windows; which I am fully updated. I tried to restore the system to an earlier date, but that doesn't work anymore. I'm at a loss to know what being of any help would be appreciated.

    As a side note video playback, TV and photos also works very well in Media Center.

    Thank you

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
