• Windows Media Player won't find the files on the second hard drive

  Hi hope you can help with this.

  I have Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12 on my PC.

  My office has two hard drives, one for the operating system and all programs and another larger (drive J:\) for all my files.

  All my audio files are stored in the J:\Audio folder, and this folder is also the default location for my music library (such as configured in Windows and WMP).

  When I load WMP files in J:\Audio are not displayed in the music library.

  If I right click on music > manage a music library and then manually delete the J:\ from the list of library locations, and then re-add it, WMP adds all the files to the library (a process that takes about 20 minutes).

  BUT if I close WMP and re - open again, these files are missing once again.

  It seems that WMP has a blind spot of my second hard drive.

  Any suggestions for what I can do to remedy this?

  Thank you very much!

  Neil.

  Well, I think I found a solution for me at least.

  There is an answer on this thread who has contributed to:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/songs-do-not-appear-in-the-Windows-Media-Player/a6e80b2e-7367-4529-9dab-5a38ba4167a5?page=5

  This is the fifth detention by djkel.

  This is a summary:

  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
   
  1. exit Windows Media Player.
  2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
  3. Select all the 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.
  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  One of the files that I had to delete not able to be removed first because "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was used. I was able to follow the steps on this page to temporarily stop the service and allow the file to be deleted:

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-disable-Windows-7-Media-Player-network-sharing-service-wmpnetwk/

  Then when I have opened WMP 12 database has been repopulated with my files... and all files remain when the 12 WPM has been closed and then reopened. I hope it's a permanent fix.

  Not sure if this will help your problem, Jeff, but I hope that.

• Windows media player cannot connect to the internet

  He will not play some native titles to a hard drive, as it wants to update the licenses, but he proposes to update by downloading the components but then said it was impossible to connect to the internet.   My computer is internet and everything works fine, except that Silverlight will not play my Netflix if I connect my Bluetooth headset until I open it.  What can I do? I can't find the windows media player settings.  I want HP with windows 8. Core i7.

  Hi Daniel,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  • The problem is specific to some of the tracks, or all?

  If you're having trouble playing a song or video, it may be because the file is protected by the management of digital rights (DRM). DRM is a technology that content providers sometimes use to ensure that the digital music and you get them video files are used and distributed according to their usage rights.

  Consider possible situations:

  a. When you try to play a file that is protected in the player, the Player checks if you have rights to use valid media on your PC. If you do, the player plays the file.

  If the player does not find valid media on your PC usage rights, or if rights to limit what you can do with the file, the player can not read the file. In this case, you will see an error message tells you why the file could not be read.

  b. it is protected by rights?

  (i) slide in the right edge of the screen and then click Search (if you use a mouse, point to the corner bottom right of the screen, move the mouse to the top and then click Find.).

  (ii) sign up Windows Media Player in the search box, and then tap or click Windows Media Player.

  (iii) pass on any or right click on a media file, press or click Properties and then press or click the rights of use. If the file is protected by rights, the license terms appear in the media used rights box, and you will see what usage rights you have. If nothing appears in the media used rights box, it might be because the file is not protected, the usage rights are not on your PC or that you are playing a file that is being listened to on your PC (for example, you play content subscription directly from an online store website).

  If the problem persists, I suggest you run the troubleshooter in Windows Media Player and check.

  a. press the Windows key + X , and then select Panel.
  (b) in the search box, type Troubleshooting , and then click on troubleshooting.
  c. click on show all and then click on settings of the Player Windows Media.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Windows Media Player cannot synchronize with the Sansa player. Sync button frozen

  OT: Button of Windows media player is frozen

  I have a sansa and I tried to synchronize new songs from Windows Media player but the sync button is frozen, it wont let me press the key.

  Hello Natalie_Haaga,

  1. were you able to synchronize this device with Media Player before?

  2. is the player detected in Windows Explorer?

  First check to see if the drive is detected on your computer. 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.

  If you can do this, you should be able to copy / delete / move files between the MP3 player and the computer.

  Also try to set media player to manually synchronize with Media Player. This article should help you with that:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/sync-manually-in-Windows-Media-Player

  I also see that some users have been able to synchronize this by changing the settings of the player and set it to mass storage device.

  I suggest you consult the manual on how to change this setting for mass storage device and to check if you have the same problem.

  Thank you

• Error: "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed or deleted'

  Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive

  I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:

  Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.
  I have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.
  I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!
