Windows Media Player does not recognize the device (iphone)

I'm trying to download music from Windows Media Player on my iphone. I can get the files in the synchronization section but the Media Player does not recognize my device or seem to have a way to connect. Can anyone help?

You will need to install iTunes. The iTunes Setup program adds drivers and services for the iPhone. That's what I do:

1. Once iTunes is installed, it allows to import all the music in Windows Media Player.
2. If you want to automatically download album art, you will need to register for an iTunes Store account. Otherwise, just copy the album art from Windows Media Player:
a. at a command prompt, cd in each music folder.
b. attrib s h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
c. xcopy AlbumArt * %tmp% Large.jpg
d. attrib + s + h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
e e.. now, for each album in iTunes, right click and choose 'Get Info'. Drag & drop the corresponding JPG of %tmp% in the field "Cover Art" and click OK.
3. connect your iPhone. Select "Manually manage music" on the screen of the iPhone.
4. click on the icon on the left side of iTunes music. Make sure that all the music that you want to synchronize has an audit. (This is the default).
5 Select and drag it to the icon of the iPhone.

    I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.

    Hello, Simone

    I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.

    You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.

    In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.

    It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.

    Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.

    In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.

    If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.

    If so, the location must be registered.

    Let us know.
