Does itunes conflict with windows media player?

I am having trouble syncing and ejecting my shuffles from i-Tunes if I have Windows Media Center running?  I use Media Center to run a TV tuner but I use i-tunes for all of my other media.  I have also found the tuner becomes inaccessable if I have watched a DVD which runs on WMC.  I'm wondering if I have to modify the defaults for the program associations...

select a .wmv file and enter command+i. in the resulting popup go to "open with" section, select the default application you want (not a Windows Media player for Mac which is extinct) to use and click "change all". see if it sticks now.

  • How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

    How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

    Ah, did you move your media files by hand? Often doing so will have broken the links from iTunes to them.
    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

  • Conflict with Windows Media Player for Mac

    I´ve installed parallel desktop on my mac (MacBook Pro), then Windows so I can run a PC only program. The conflict is this: When I want to play a video on WMP (for mac), for example: when I receive an email with a video clip to be played and I double click it, Parallel Desktop starts up automaticaly to play it on windows. I´ve right clicked and tried to specify that WMP on my mac should be the one to open videos by default; but it´s not working, or I´m doing something wrong.
    Any wisdom? Thanks in advance.

  • VLC player plugin conflict with Windows Media Player plugin in Firefox 8.0.1

    After I upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1, Windows Media Player stopped playing embedded videos within the Firefox browser.
    If you go to Add-ons and disabled VLC player plugin, Firefox will start to plays any Windows Media Player videos without any issue.
    The minute I click to enable VLC, Windows Media Player stop working again. This problem is not used to happen in Firefox 6.02.
    Please help me with problem. any suggestions will be appreciated.

    You can disable the VLC plugin from the Addons window. Choose Plugins, find VLC in the list and disable it.

  • While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this?

    While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this? Reinstalling the application does not clear the error, so I'm assuming the association is somewhere in Firefox.

    Never mind -- I just found it under Tools/Options.../Applications, where I changed the incorrect association of "nlmcp" from Windows Media Player to the correct one, NetLibrary Media Center. Done!

  • Problem with Windows Media Player since installing Firefox 4.0

    Problems with Window Media Player. When I am using Windows Media Player to view a video from another source I am having problems. When I hit pause and then go back to hit play it does not have any sound. The player is not on mute and it keeps going from pause to play with no sound most times. Please help. Thank-you. I have Windows Vista programs.

    What can I do to get the Windows Media Player to work properly?

  • Problem with Windows Media Player -- saving, transferring

    Operating system:   Windows 7 Home Premium       
    Product: HP Pavilion P6000 Series
    Windows Media Player
    Copy short videos onto a thumbnail drive from a different computer running Windows 7 with Windows Media Player.    Thumbnail drive accepts files, lists and can play back fine on same computer.    Take thumbnail drive to different computer also running/using Windows Media Player & Windows 7, and playback only plays back audio -- no picture.  What am I doing wrong? 

    As WMP is not a DVD player, my suggestion would be to tell your clients to never use WMP.All our DVD discs go out with a warning not to allow WMP to be used.
    In most computer setups, WMP does not play back video correctly as it does not have an MPEG codec installed, or has navigational problems.
    All computers that have a DVD drive fitted, will have a dedicated DVD software player installed, such as Win DVD or Power DVD, so why not use that?

  • Content Engine compatability with Windows Media Player

    I am currently running ACNS version 5.5 on our CE510 Content Engine. We want to set this box up to serve VOD requests from WMT. I think the clients on site are all using Windows Media Player version 10. Does this version of ACNS software work with Windows Media Player 10?

    Dan
    this brings up an interesting point. The content (which is canned Video on an Intranet Web site) is HTTP? I am wasting my time here by trying to use the Windows MP services?? Perhaps I already have what I need...
    Your comments appreciated.

    If you mean you subscribed to iTunes Match, you have to import your music into your iTuens library in order to add it to iTunes Match.  iTunes Match (and iCloud) only works with iOS devices and computers.  It won't work with your iPod Classic; you'll have to sync that with iTunes in order to add your music.

  • How do I get itunes tracks to windows media player

    I need help.

    To clarify, do you mean that you want to play tracks from your iTunes music library with Windows Media Player? If so, then they'll have to be in MP3 or WAV format, since WMP won't play AAC.
    If you want to get your tracks from Windows Media Player into iTunes, then Chris's advice will apply. Note, though, that iTunes cannot import or play copy-protected WMA, so if you have any of those, they won't work.
