Windows Media Player doesn't recognize the phone error"is not a connected device: for synchronization
For months, Windows Media Player recognized my Samsung Galaxy SIII without problem. For weeks now, however, he is not picking it up. My computer detects the device when I plug it in, and made my phone. But when I try to sync the music on my phone, Windows Media Player says that I don't have a device so sync is not an option. In addition, there is no option in advanced settings on the Synchronize tab, so I have no idea how to solve the problem. Manual and automatic synchronization does not work.
Hello, Olivia,.
Thank you for keeping us posted.
Even if the phone is recognized on the computer, sometimes bad or corrupted SD/flash card card can cause this kind of scenario on Windows Media Player. Try to disconnect the SD card and check if the Player sync with the phone. Also check if another device appears under the list of devices in Windows Media Player. For troubleshooting, you can also uninstall the software of the phone (Samsung kies) and reinstall them.
Please let us know if the problem still persists.

Hello
You need to open ZIP files, which are compressed to make it smaller, then use the content
in the application appropriate - so if the audio or video content can use WMP.Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/compress-and-uncompress-files-ZIP-filesAlthough Windows has integrated ZIP, you might be more comfortable using a program
with more features (and works with different types of compressed files).7ZIP - free

Hello all, I tried all the solutions advocated for the update to install drm security or for the upgrade button to not be gray, but I've tried every solution that includes the deletion, rename the file drm in the data of the program, the whole kit and the shebang and nothing worked or helped upgrade the drm from windows media player. I am subject to end here, because the upgrade of the drm is the only thing that will allow me to use my digital copies of movies that I bought and who have a digital copy of the film included with the purchase. Honestly, I don't know what else to do to reset the drm or use security update site Web component. I even tried to delete the drm registry entries and I get a failed to remove the error message. If someone could help me get the upgrade of the safety component, I would be very happy.

Windows Media Player no longer recognizes the music in my library
I have a lot of music in my library and several training material files. As of the last month, the music will not play. I click on it, and she travels about 6 songs, puts a red x next to each and answers media cannot be played. training materials actually play fine. Used to play music, and I don't quite know what I changed, although there was a day where Microsoft updated a lot of things and my computer has been updated for probably 45 minutes. This seems to be on the time where this has happened, even if it could be a coincidence. WMP is passed to a new version that does not recognize the old hardware? Thank you
This happens usually when you move or rename the files.
To get media player to play yet MP point to them.
MP open, click file on the menu, click Open and navigate to the file.
Click on the file or Playlist, click Open.
If you click on a playlist to re-record it to the new location.
Click file, click, save now playing list as, click, save and overwrite the file.
