Windows media playerwill not sync with my Sansa I plugged it, created a playlist, then clicked on 'sync' but nothing happens
I created a playlist in Windows media. I have connected my Sansa MP3 device via USB connection cable and sound the sync button to copy the playlist but nothing happens. I checked my Sansa and it has not automatically copied to the other. How can I go there when the sync button does not work?
Hello Jane136,
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.
Thank you

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

I downloaded version 11 of Windows Media Player, but it is saying the same thing.
Thank you.
Hello
1. don't you also get an error with the message code?
2 have you installed third-party readers part?
3. What is the format of the files you are trying to play?Follow these steps and check if they help.
Step 1:
I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.
Step 2:
Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

version of Windows Media Technologies is incompatible with this version of Windows.
I try to use a practical driving theory CD ROM, but when I try to load the disk it says that my version of Windows Media Technologies is incompatible with this version of Windows. I received a message to go to the Microsoft Corporation website to find a solution or an updated version, but when I arrived I did not know where to place you or what I was looking for? My system is Windows Vista
Hello
always check the compatibility of vista programs on the link below
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx
If a program is compatible with vista you can try right click on the setup.exe, and then selecting run as administrator
It is not compatible with vista, you can try running it in a previous operating system mode
This does not work for all programs
