How do I stop Windows Media Player importing my iTunes library? It's most annoying, aghhhh. Please someone help me.

Can anyone please help me work out how to stop my Windows Media Player grabbing all my iTune's music. (& is there any way of getting my old operating system back on my iPhone as I'm less than impressed with the new one)?

Asking on a Windows forum would be your better option...  http://forums.windowsforum.org/

  • (HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod

    How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod
    We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. .  or can they help us? PL E A SE E E  HELLPPP!

    tt2,
    Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
    <?wpl version="1.0"?>
    <smil>
        <head>
            <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>
            <meta name="ItemCount" content="161"/>
            <author/>
            <title>Power Surge</title>
        </head>
        <body>
            <seq>
                <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 2\13 Out of Control.wma" tid="{650561AF-AA9D-4EA3-84CC-2F09C24DF3B3}"/>
                <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 1\12 One Step Closer.wma" tid="{EE5ADD9D-A879-404A-BC60-CE841045BCB6}"/>
                <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 1\15 Click Click Boom.wma" tid="{0F71941C-1B67-425F-BDAA-246618709179}"/>
    Now I went and switched the part from  <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help.  Thanks in advance.

  • Download windows media player movies to itunes to ipod

    download windows media player movies to itunes to ipod?  downloaded music ok

    I saw that post... but it doesn't match the screen in Windows Media Player 0. On the Sync tab there is a Start Sync button a Edit Playlist button and Set up Sync button. The 'Set up Sync' button is always disabled.
    I can't figure out how to get the playlists downloaded to the Zen Touch. Windows Media Player 0 would be the way to go if I could get the playlists to download.
    I have played around over and over with the screens etc... I just can't figure out how to make them download with the Zen Touch anyway... 40 gig, for what it's worth.
    If someone has been able to do this with a Zen Touch, I would love to know how to do it.

  • How do I install Windows Media Player on iBook

    I have downloaded Windows Media Player to my desktop, but do not know how to find an appropiate progam in which to install it with. I would very much like to satch sports over the internet and Windows media palyer is required for most of my current subscriptions.
    Forgive my ignorance, as it is my first day with an iBook or any Mac for that matter. (Really prefer it over my past PC's thus far)
    Thanks to all.

    Stuffit Expander is required to open the WMP download
    any many others you'll encounter while using a Mac.
    It's available free from Stuffit.com.
    Thanks. Will do.

  • How do I open Windows Media Player 11 in a new window via labview 8.5 using ActiveX

    Hello,
    Although familiar with Labview, I am new to the ActiveX Controls. I have managed to open and play movie files in Labview with ActiveX controls but the player is embedded in Labview's front panel. How can I control what file is played and when it starts in Labview but have Windows media player 11 open in a separate window.
    Additionally, where can I find a description of the ActiveX properties.
    Thank you

    I'm trying to accomplish this same thing and am having a hell of a time finding the right Class, right Methods, and/or right Properties for a solution.  Some classes seem to return obscure errors when I try to create them use the invoke node "launchURL" (the WMPLib.ICore for example).  If I use the Player base class (which MSDS says is the root class and the class that is used when you create an embedded player) I don't get anything.
    What I would like is to progmatically launch Windows Media Player to play a particular video clip in full screen on the secondary monitor.  It seems like this should work:
    But doesn't... any ideas for this?  The C# examples are difficult to understand for me.  Also, the WMP class library is a MESS! (IMHO).  Thanks for your input.

  • How can i get windows media player playlists on my ipod nano

    I have all the songs I'll ever need for my ipod but do I really have to burn all my songs onto a disk and then transfer that to itunes then to my ipod? There has got to be some kind of way that can help me transfer my playlists on windows media player to itunes. Can anyone help me?

    Why would you need to burn all your songs to CD? iTunes will import your MP3 files (and non-protected WMA). Playlists cannot, but can always be recreated.

  • Importing Windows Media Player playlist into itunes is possible?

    Please Help!
    Is there any way to import a WMP(*.m3u, *.txt or whatever) playlist into iTunes?
    I just want to know it is possible or not, because I am tired of making same playlists for WMP and iTunes everytime for several devices.

    Yes, though as I recall iTunes wants absoulte file paths. You either need to edit the playlist before import or use a script I wrote called ImportM3U which, as a bonus, can convert any unprotected WMA files on the fly and add them to the playlist.
    BTW, if you're going to try to get WMP & iTunes to share playlists you'd better disable any options for automatically organizing files. See Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely for more info.

  • How do I download Windows Media Player for Mac?

    I keep downloading it from the Microsoft website..and...it doesn't work. My husband bought a new MacBook (Leopard) and he's trying to figure out how to look at something on a website that gives him a link to download this. I helped him download Flip4 Mac...Windows Media Player 7.1 for Mac. Quicktime something-or-other. Windows STX 1,2,3 4, 5 and on...and...It still doesn't open. What am I doing wrong?

    WMV's player application will work as a standalone application, but the browser plug-in will not work because it is not a universal binary. For that you will need to install Flip4Mac. The last Mac version of WMV is 9.0 and can be downloaded here.You will need an appropriate dearchiver such as Stuffit or The Unarchiver - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Be sure you properly uninstall whatever items you've previously installed. You should quit the browser before installing any of the above.

  • How do I download Windows Media Player to my Windows 7 - 32 bit laptop?

    As the title suggests, I am having a bit of difficulty going to the Microsoft Website and downloading Windows Media Player - version 11 to my Windows 7 Hewlett Packard laptop - the Pavilion dv4.    Any suggestions?  I do not see WMP in
    my list of applications nor is it under the Control Panel in Add/Remove programs.   I cannot therefore run the Demos with Microsoft has on using MS-WORD 2007 which is the version that came installed with my laptop in 2011.      
    Please give me some step by step instructions for finding if I have WMP at all.  Second, please tell me how I can then download from Microsoft's site.  I really need to learn the ins and outs of Word and I'm used to the prior Word version. 
    thanks.

    If you purchased the pc in Europe or South Korea, you may have a Win 7 "N" or "KN" version which does not ship with Windows Media Player. Please see
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/products/what-is-windows-7-n-edition
    To check your Windows version see
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/find-which-edition-of-windows-7-you-are-using
    To install Windows Media Player on Win 7 N or KN, see

    ...and WMP version 12 was released in 2009.

  • How do I uninstall Windows Media Player 11 (from Windows XP)

    I tried to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 using the 2 methods in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934372/en-us
    The 1st method rolled back Windows Media Player 11 , but I want to uninstall it.
    The 2nd method gave me the following pop-window:
    Run
    C:\WINDOWS\$ntUninstallwmp11$\spuninst refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network,
    and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.
    I am surprised that Microsoft supplies a product that one cannot uninstall.
    I would very much like to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 -
    If that is not possible, I could re-install it.
    Thanks for any helo.
