BB Link not linking to Win Media Player or iTunes

Out of the blue, my BB Link will not show my music library in iTunes or Windows Media Player.
I'm using version 1.0.0.76 and have even reinstalled BB Link.
I tried with WMP and iTunes closed and open.
It worked a few days ago now I'm having no luck - very unusual.
I'm trying to sync my Z10 and Playbook.
HELP!!! I'm tired of having problems with BB!!!

Hey cdawaters,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Do you get any specific errors when you try to synchronize the media? Also are you using a PC or Mac?
Also have you tried uninstalling BlackBerry Link and re-installing it?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Linking music files from Windows Media Player to Itunes

How do you link music between WMP (this is where I download my music) and ITunes without having to copy all the files so I don't need to use up hard drive space?

iTunes will not accept Window Media player tracks that are protected. If you imported them off your own CDs, did you check the option to apply protection to them? If so, your only choice is to re-rip those CDs.

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_...

Firefox 6.0 w/ win media player plugin 1.0.0.8 enabled ALWAYS asks if I want to open a .wmv file with Win Media Player.

Firefox 6.0 would not open .wmv files, so I downloaded and installed M/S windows media player firefox plugin, ver 1.0.0.8.
I have checked using the plugin mgr that it is installed and enabled, but firefox still will not open .wmv files - It still brings up a window asking if I want to use Win Media Player to open the file.

You have an outdated version of Flash installed.
Uninstall the current copy of Flash then reinstall, instructions here.

Open a Finder window then select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the LIbrary folder then the Application Support folder, the Input Managers folder and the Scripting Additions folder.
Move all the files above in bold print to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari after you have re installed Flash and deleted all those files.

MP3 plays fine in Win Media Player, but won't import in iTunes

I have this MP3 file in a folder on my hard drive. It plays fine in Win Media Player.
If I "Add the Folder to Library" all other MP3 files in the folder come though fine but this one is left behind.
If I use "Add File to Library" there is just a screen "flicker" but the file is not added.
What could cause this? and how do I get the file into iTunes?
TIA
Gert
Windows XP SP2

Are you certain that the files in question are in fact MP3 files and not some other format?
iTunes can play plain old MP3 files, but it cannot play proprietary schemes with digital rights management built in, and it cannot play WMA files.

File not found in my media player but yes it's fou...

Yup so, I got my Nokia C6 phone about two months ago, and everything has been working perfectly until these past weeks.
When I connect my phone with the USB-cabel to my PC, everything is still working alright. Then I go to Windows Media Player, and it recognizes my phone correctly. Although, When I press Synchronize, it seems like everything is going on well but then I disconnect my phone from the computer and the files are not found in my media player, just in my File manager! Is there any chance to fix this because it really bothers me?

All songs not showing up in media player

I loaded songs onto my 8gb microsd card. I can see that the songs are on the card (on the computer and in the phone) but all of them do not show up under media player. When I explore the memory card, I can play the songs that are not on the media player when I go through the folders so I know they are not DRM protected. How can I get the songs to show up in the media player?

Hi,
If you are able to see the songs on the media card and they play as well, I wouldn't
think the method to move the media is the issue. The issue seems to be the
indexing of the catalogue.
On the Blackberry go to the main media home screen.
Menu key, explore, media card. Find the music folder, menu key show hidden.
Delete the BBthumbs.dat file. Do a battery pull and return to the media screen
and let the phone fully re-index the files. See if you have all files listed.
Thanks,

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.

R there any neg. recommendations re dwnloading Win Media Player/Real Player on my MacB w/OSX.8.2

I am Preparing to sign-in to a live presentation in a couple of days. The presenting org's s/w recommends I add Real Player and/or WinMedia Player. I'm guessing o.k. w/no problem, but just checking it out. Txs in advance for + or - rpts from your experience.

RealPlayer is ok as well as Flip4Mac which is the Mac equivalent to Win Media Player.

HT1391 Music that is on my computer and iPhone will not play using any media player

Media (songs) that are listed in iTunes and on the iPhone will not play. The cursor skips over them. Using Explorer I can see them on the disc, but clicking them and trying to play them with Quicktime, Windows Media Player or iTunes does not work.
Does anybody know what I can do to fix this?

Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem.

Transfering music from media player to itunes

I am having trouble transfering music playlists from my media player to itunes. I have tried the 'add a folder' and 'add a file' options and when I click it nothing happens. I have also tried moving the playlists to different files and tryig to add the folder and files and have also been unsuccessful. I have also tried to 'open playlist in itunes' but still does not transfer. It rips CDs ok but can't find a way to transfer music.

Have you tried creating a fresh media library in iTunes or re-installing iTunes? MP3's should not be a problem at all as you might suspect using a "MP3 player"
