Use iTunes.  It is designed to sync a Nano and other Apple devices.

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize new downloaded songs

    I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr:  AY014AA-ABA running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    I just discovered that Windows Media Player does not recognize songs I recently downloaded from the Wal-Mart Music Download Site.  The songs can be seen in the Music Library in a folder named "Downloads" and I can open each song and it will play when double clicked.  The problem is that I can not create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the playlist because the songs are not listed in the Media Player library no matter hot it is sorted (Artist, Album, Genre, etc).
    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You might also want to consider moving the songs to my Music or the folder you have WMP set as your Music folder. You can find/change that folder in WMP by going to File ---> Manage Libraries
    Launch WMP ----> Tools ----> Options --->Privacy and be sure that the Display information from the internet box is checked.

  • Windows Media Player does not play Streaming me

    After installing All the Software for Audigy 2ZS Platinum. My Windows Media Player will not play any video streams from MSN or Yahoo. Is there any known conflict with any of the software or how can I make the software compatible with WMP v0 windows XP.

    Hi,
    Try the following to force Windows Media Player to re-build the Library Database.
    A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.

    This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
    Make sure Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre are closed.
    Launch Free Commander, double click Users, double click 'your user name', double click Local Settings, double click Application Data, double click Microsoft and double click Media Player.  Delete all the files that have the extension .wmdb - do not delete any folders.
    Close Free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now begin to re-build the library database which may take a while, but when it has finished see if the movie files play Ok now.

  • Windows Media Player does not work on Equium A100-027

    I have an Equium Notebook A100-027 which I bought in February of this year. I have just tried to play my Windows Media Player, but nothing happens when I click on it! It was working fine yesterday, but today it is not working anymore!
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi,
    it would be useful to know which system you have (vista or xp) and if you recently installed some software or windows updates.
    This will perhaps help you and us users to give you better help on your problem.
    Would appreciate some feedback from you. :)

    Windows Media Player recognizes my device when connected with a USB cable but not when connected via bluetooth in Windows 7. The WMDC recognizes my device in bluetooth mode without any problem. I would like to synchronize my device with Windows Media Player while in bluetooth mode. How can I get Windows Media to recognize my device in bluetooth mode.

    Which Bluetooth device you are talking about ?

  • Windows media player does not open in new window

    When I go to a web site that may have several wmv files to view, if I view one, a new tab does not open for wmv. When I am through watching the clip, I close windows media, but it does not return me to the original web site, I just have a white screen and I have to go back and reload the page again to view another clip.

    Hi Paul,

  • My computer and itunes does not recognise my ipod nano

    I had to return a faulty ipod nano. The replacement isn't recognised in My Computer or in iTunes.
    I think this might be to do with the registration of the first nano still being recognised?
    I have reinstalled itunes and followed the 5R's in the manual, but the ipod is still not recognised eg. Will not sync.
    A dialogue box displays the following message:
    'an ipod has been detected,but it could not be identified properly...'
    Can anybody help?

    I am facing the same problem, buddy. My iPod nano is not recognized by my MacBook Pro nor by iTunes.
    I tried everything suggested in trouble shooting. Looks like, I will have to visit an apple store soon to get it replaced/exchanged.

  • Windows media player does not recognize new CD when changing CDs in drive

    I have a ThinkPad R61i that was purchased with a preinstalled downgrade from Vista to XP professional.  Whenever I rip CDs using the built in DVD/CD player/burner, WMP doesn't recognize a new cd when I put one in.  I am running WMP 11 for XP.  The first CD is recognized after some switching around between tabs and, after it finishes burning it ejects the CD but when I put a different cd in, WMP acts like it still has the original CD.  It will play the new CD and rip it but it rips over the original CD's file with the original CD's track listings.  Anyone have this experience?
