For most MP3 players that can and will be able to be synced to WMP.
Set the MP3 MTP Mode for WMP sync - mode MSC to treat the MP3 as a reader.
(Now its set to MSC)<-- this="" is="" for="" mp3="" in="" general="" and="" ipod="" will="" not="" usually="">-->
Your MP3 player should have 2 settings - MSC which should allow the player to be used as an external drive
and PSG that is the parameter to use to sync with WMP. Remove the MP3 and restart the computer.
Change the MP3 in MTP mode - it power off and plug it in.
======================================
There is a plugin to let WMP sync music to an iPod:

How can I transfer music from my iPod to Windows Media Player?

How can I transfer music from my iPod to Windows Media Player?
WMP is not built-in iPod support, so you will need to use another media player, such as iTunes or Winamp, to get the music from the iPod to the PC (I don't know if iTunes will allow you to do, but Winamp will certainly be).
If you then copy the music files to your personal music collection, they appear automatically in the WMP library.

When I download a wmv on an internet site and then play through the Player Windows Media, I get the audio but the video is just a green screen Uni. I was told that the media player can miss a card.
Hello
1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
2. are you able to play videos other than video .wmv successfully?
3. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?Method 1
I suggest you to check if the hardware acceleration of the display device setting is too high.
a. Click Start, click Run, type desk.cpl and then click OK.b. click on the settings tab and then click Advanced.
c. click the Troubleshooting tab, and then move the hardware acceleration to none.
d. click on apply and then click OK twice.
e. If the problem is resolved after you move the slider hardware acceleration to none, contact the manufacturer of the graphics adapter driver to determine if there is an update that resolves this specific problem.
Method 2
The required codec is missing or damaged. If the problem occurs when you use a .wmv file, download or reinstall the latest version of Windows Media Player. If you use an earlier version of Windows Media Player, upgrade to the current version of Windows Media Player for your operating system.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-PlayerIf the problem occurs when you use a different format of video file, for example a .mpeg file or an .avi file, download or reinstall the appropriate third-party codec.

WMP is not supported with built-in support for sync with an iPod. However, you may install a third-party plug-ins listed in the http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/Sync.htm to add this support.
Alternatively, you can also use iTunes, or built-in iPod support to Winamp for synchronization.

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.

Hello1. with the device that you are trying to synchronize?
2 - is the first time you try to sync Windows media player?Windows Media Player has encountered a problem during the synchronization of the file to the portable device. Because this error can occur for various reasons, there is no single solution.To resolve the problem, try to disconnect and reset. See your device manual for specific instructions on performing this procedure.In some cases, this error may occur if you try to synchronize a file hidden on a device. To resolve this problem, delete the file in the sync list or change the properties of the file so that the file is not hidden.For more information, see the article below,

Impossible to download iTunes or sync my iPod with Windows Media Player
configuration setting windows media player
I am not able to download ipod itune or syn.my with Windows media player, any suggestions?
What is the error message when you try to download iTunes?
Make sure you download the correct version - 32 bit or 64 bit.
You may not use WMP to sync with an iPod, iPad, iPhone, iTouch, etc, unless you install 3rd-party softwhere as a plug-in for WMP. Try MGTEK its around 20USD flawless but work under W7 (for me).
See you soon,.

Impossible to play the song in the Player Windows Media - original file cannot be found
original title: original file could not be found
Can not play in itunes or windows media player tried to burn, and he says original file can not be found how find orginal, he bought it on emusic are downloaded on ipod, but now his party? help me find?
Use Windows search to find your file.
If you do not know what are the exact title (and its spelling) then use the character generic way:
*.MP3 if its a file in MP3 you are looking for
*.wav if it is a file in wav formatetc.
The * (asterisk) acts as a wild card for Windows Search will throw all, for example, the mp3 files on your PC. Note down where the file is stored and either move it to a folder that you want, or "point" and WMP or iTunes to this location using the file add to the library feature.
If both formats above are not that you downloaded, you simply substitute the file extension for the one who is.
See you soon,.

None of my video clips to ring when shown on windows media player 11. speakers work for all applications. How can I turn on the sound. It is not on mute and as strong it goes upward.
System probably lack you one or more audio codecs. Codec is short of compression and decompression of that particular video file and the correct audio part may be not available.
I recommend one of the K-Lite codec packages available here to download and install. The regular package should be enough, but you can opt for the full package.
Once you have downloaded the package on your computer, you can right-click on the installation. EXE and run as administrator to avoid any problems with the installation.
