Apple iPod 7th Generation not seen in Windows Media Player

Windows Media player does not recognise my ipod nano 7th generation.  Itunes and my windows 7 home premium does see my ipod.  Is there a new driver that I can download without going through a third party?  I want to use windows Media player.

Windows Media Player does not work with iPods.

  • E3000 Media Server not seen by Windows Media Player (v 12.0) on Win 7

    I've enabled the Media Server on my E3000 router.  My PS3 can see the server and play media from it by my PCs can't!
    I'm using Windows Media Player v 12.0 on Windows 7 and some older version on Windows XP and it's my understanding that the Media Server should appear under the "Other Libraries" section but it does not.
    Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug in the E3000 firmware (I have the latest as of this date) or is the Media Server simply not compatible with Windows Media Player?
    If it's an incompatibility issue, can someone please point me to a compatible media player for Windows 7?
    I did read a post about a firmware upgrade on the 4200 that broke the media player, but I don't know if such a problem exists for the E3000.
    Thank you,
    Martin.

    This is what you can try in getting the Computer to see the media server on the E3000:
    (Obviously make sure you have the media server enabled on the router and at least one folder shared....and make sure you have scanned the folder(s))
    1) Turn your computer on.
    2) Disconnect your external usb drive.
    3) Pull the power on the E3000.
    4) Connect the external usb drive.
    5) Plug the power back into the E3000.
    Then see if that works or not.
    If the issue still persist then here is the link which may help you: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01832417&tmp_track_link=ot_recdoc/c00859236/en_...

  • EA4500 Windows 7 cannot index files so files not seen by Windows Media Player

    I have setup a disk on the USB port of the EA4500 and have 4 folders.  One being music.  I want to access this folder via my Wireless laptop with Windows Media Player but I only get a handful of the 3000+ songs on the disk.  A hard wired PC can access the files but not a wireless laptop.  I'm not sure where the issue is.  If I use the drive via //host/Music the Star ratings are not available but I get all music,  if I map a drive then I get star rating but only a handful of songs.  I have tried to change permission but I cannot change the file permissions on the Linksys.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You should be able to change the permissions in the router page. Are you using the Classic Firmware or the Linksys Smart Wifi? If you are using the Linksys Smart Wifi firmware, it is under USB Storage > Folder Access. If you are using the Classic Firmware, it is under Storage > Administration. The laptop should be able see all files just like the desktop.

  • Apple 23" Cinema Display not supported by Windows Media Center Edition PC

    Well I'm learning the hard way and of course that is through experience. I just found out after purchasing my 23"Apple Display and talking to the Apple Support Tech is that Apple does not support the Cinema Display with PC's,
    Wish Apple would be more transparent on this issue prior to a costly purchase. For example on the Apple site listing the Display in system requirements:
    Windows PC and graphics card that supports DVI ports with full single-link digital bandwidth and VESA DDC standard for plug and play setup
    Well I have a Windows PC with a Nvidia Graphics card just as the system requirements state. Yet my PC will not adjust to proper resolution for the Apple Display. The graphics card works fine. Its a driver issue where the Apple Display is not compatible with Window Media Center Edition on Windows PC's
    So in conclusion the system requirements for Windows PC's that Apple is stating For Apple Cinema Displays is not correct. The system requirements need also to state that the Apple Cinema Display does not work with Windows Media Center Edition (MCE)
    Hope that helps for any users with Windows Media Center Edition thinking or already have purchased an Apple Cinema Display.

    Well,
    Here is the latest from Nvidia Customer Care educating users on the DVI port on the Nvidia GeForce FX 5200:
    "...The basic difference you will see in these ports are in their Physical appearance. The DVI-D has less pins compared to the DVI-I port connector. Also the Apple 23" Cinema Display will work at a resolution of 1920*1200. But this graphics card that is Geforce FX 5200 will not support this resolution of 1920*1200. It will support only till 1600*1200. So that's the reason you were having the issues were you were not able to adjust the resolution"
    So I ask, which Nvidia GPU card can I substitute for the current one at a reasonable price? I don't need dual link, so single link would be sufficient for my application . Here is some more helpful tips from Nvidia support. Hope this helps other users, utilizing the Apple 23" Cinema Display"
    "...go for a Geforce 7600 GS graphics card which is a AGP 8x compatible graphics card. This graphics card is just 129$ graphics card. Please visit the given link to know about the details of this graphics card."
    http://bfgtech.com/7600GS_512.html
    And now for the final conclusion of what you need to know regarding DVI ports. Evidently Nvidia uses a term called normal DVI port. I've never heard of that term in the literature in shopping for a graphics card and checking the specs. I guess you need to look for the specific term single or dual link specifically. If it doesn't say that, then what I can gather it is a normal DVI port...whatever the heck that is?
    "...Yes let me inform you that the Geforce FX 5200 graphics card does have one DVI port and one VGA port. But these single link and Dual link DVI port is totally different compared to the normal DVI ports. As you wanted to connect an Apple 23" Cinema Display to this graphics card. So for this you will need to have a graphics card which will have a Single link or Dual link DVI ports not the normal ports. So to support an Apple 23" Cinema Display, you will need to have either a Geforce 6 series or the Geforce 7 series graphics card. That's the reason I gave you the list of graphics card which comes with Single or Dual link DVI ports, not the normal ports."
    Oh well off to the market to pick up either a Series 6 or Series 7 Nvidia Graphics card. The Nvidia Customer Care team was very helpful and replied to my inquires very quickly through email.
    Hope this long drawn out expose helps others who might have issue with connecting their proud Apple 23' Cinema Display to their PC
    Kind Regards,

  • IPOD not recognized by Windows Media Player

    MY IPOD is no longer recognized by Window Media Player--neither version 10 or 11. It once was recognized then I added my digital camera to my compute and all the sudden it thinks my camera is my IPOD. I disabled the camera, now the computer just doesn't recognize that an IPOD is attached. My IPOD works fine with I TUNES. Please advise as to how I can fix this.

    You say computer doesn't recognize that iPod is attached then that iTunes works with iPod. ????
    If iTunes works with iPOd then computer is seeing that iPod is attached.
    As for Windows Media Player I didn't know iPOd ever worked with it.

  • Video from Iphone will not open in windows media player

    I was able to import videos from my iphone 5c into windows vista, but the will not play in windows media player.
    How can I play the video?

    Rodney-- you're unclear what exactly you did. If you encoded a dvd, your computer's dvd player SHOULD play it. Unless your pc doesn't HAVE a dvd player.
    If you burned a data dvd of your fcp project, unless you have quicktime on your pc, you won't be able to play it.
    Investigate flip4mac, which allows you to export wmv files.

  • ITunes+ Songs not playing in Windows Media Player 11

    So I got a new PC. On the previous PC i had been using windows Media player and playing songs purchased in iTunes+ in WMP.
    So I transferred all my songs to an external HD. Then on my new PC I pointed the folder in WMP to the external HD and it imported all my music, except for my iTunes+ songs.
    I have also purchased 2 new iTunes+ songs and they will not import into WMP or play in WMP.
    What do I need to do?

    Is it possible the problem is that on the previous pc I was running Windows 7 and on the new PC I'm running Vista Premium?

  • Why does my Encore DVD not play in Windows Media Player v.11

    My DVD's play properly in players and from various other DVD Software but not Windows Media Player v.11.  Most people I give my DVD's to view them on business computers, that only have WMP on them.  Is there a way to build an Encore DVD that will allow them to play in WMP?

    You can always build a Flash "DVD". Other than that you may be looking in the wrong place. Microsoft has neatly avoided any MPEG-2/DVD licensing and merely uses the respective libraries of otehr DVD software on your system, so when no such thing is installed, it never works.

  • Why do burnt tracks not show in Windows Media Player?

    Just managed to get CD burn to work on Vista (see below)
    But the list of tracks does not display if I play the burnt CD under Windoes media Player.
    What is going on - I have enabled "write CD text"
    For some reason iTunes is able to show artist/title for each track
    Just to confirm: iTunes under Vista only works after I loaded updated GEAR software from http://disc-tools.com/download/sptdbeta

    Hi,
    If you're using Windows 7, it may be worth trying to reset Windows Media Player as follows.
    Click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open Programs and Features, Click 'Turn Windows features on or off', open up Media Features and untick Windows Media Player.  Click Yes then OK and then restart the notebook.
    When Windows has restarted, click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open Programs and Features, Click 'Turn Windows features on or off', open up Media Features and tick Windows Media Player.  Click Yes then OK and when WMP has finished installing, restart the notebook again. 
    Launch WMP and go through the initial set-up, then check if the tracks now play Ok.

  • Ipod Touch won't export my Windows Media Player library music automatically

    My wife attached her Ipod touch, whilst linked thru her office PC to iTunes and it immediately and automatically started to transfer her Windows Media Player library onto the iPod....we tried the same by attaching my Touch to my laptop but there appears to be something preventing export from Windows MP - can anyone give me any tips as to what it might be and how i can turn it off?
    Incredibly its my first ever purchase of an iPod and it was bought in advance of a week's holiday on 3rd April (next week) and i'm gonna be so disappointed if i cant take my music ! HEEELLLPPPP !

    do you know what format the songs are in?

  • H.264 not playing in Windows Media Player

    OK, so I've exported a 720p video to H.264 format. The resultant .mp4 plays just fine on my Mac where it was created, in both QuickTime and the VLC Player. It also plays on another person's Mac (I'm assuming QuickTime) just fine.
    But two people who have Windows machines cannot get the file to play in Windows Media Player. I don't think they've tried another player, but that's irrelevant because I need my output video to be able to play in WMP.
    Is H.264 a poor choice in this case? That's always been my go-to format. I thought .mp4 was a universally playable format.
    Thank you.

    It depends on which version of Windows Media Player they're using. If they're still on XP, it's very possible it won't work.  Anyone using Windows 7 or 8 should have no problem.  (And perhaps it does need to be said, but everyone should be using either 7 or 8 by now.)
    At least one of them was on Windows 7.
    Is there a better format I should be using for PP export other than H.264?

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
