HT2305 windows media player wont detect ipod touch

why wont windows media player detect my ipod touch

Because iPods will only work with iTunes. Your computer only sees an iPod Touch as a digital camera. What are you trying to do with your iPod?

  • I can sync media files from Windows Media Player to my ipod, but the information will not show up on my ipod. Why?

    I HATE using iTunes (it's a pain in the bleeping arse) so, despite what someone from Apple told me, I tried to sync a song from Windows Media Player onto my ipod. The sync appears to be successful, and yet when I ejected my ipod to check to see if the song was on there, it was not. Why? And how do I get it on there? I want to avoid using iTunes at all costs.

    Try MediaMonkey or Winamp. Unlike Windows Media Player which will just blindly throw the files onto the iPod's hard drive these two at least (there may be others) know that they have to update the device's database if you are going to be able to access the content that has been added.

  • How do I transfer a saved song on Windows Media Player to my iPod?

    I downloaded 1 song with Amazon gift card. I was having computer/ipod issues that day, but have since cleared that up. The download was saved on my Windows Media Player. How do I get it to iTunes or to my iPod?

    Got it! I figured it out ..... until the next time - then I won't remember what I did

  • How do I move my files from Windows Media Player to my ipod?

    Please help! I cannot figure out how to move the songs in Media Player over to my ipod.

    Hello 03bprice!  Follow the instructions below:
    Add files already stored on your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12485 and http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12493
    Do either of the following:
    Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
    By default, adding items to your iTunes library places a pointer to each file in the iTunes folder; the original file remains in the current location. For information about copying files to the iTunes folder instead of creating pointers to them, see Change where your iTunes files are stored. If the file is an unprotected WMA file and you have Windows Media Player Series 9 or later installed, iTunes makes a copy of the file and adds it to your iTunes library. The original WMA file remains unchanged. You can’t add protected WMA files or protected WMV files to iTunes.

  • I have tried to transfer files from my windows media player to my ipod but it saysthe device has stopped responding or stopped working.this is the first time ive connected nmy ipod to my new pc.any ideas?

    I have tried to transfer music from my windows 7 media player to my ipod.This is the first time i have tried to use my ipod on my new computer .In the media player it doesnt give me the option to add to itunes library it just give me the option to send to my ipod and when i do this it says that the device has stopped responding or isnt working.Any ideas? coz i aint got the foggiest where i am going wrong.My ipod keeps telling me to update the software,but then will i lose the music thats already on my ipod?

    You should import the music (that is listed in Windows Media Player) into your iTunes Library - on your computer - to add it to your existing iTunes Library. I take it you have moved (or copied) your music from the old computer to the new computer, haven't you?
    Then Sync your iPod to that Library.
    iPods will not respond to Windows Media Player, they're designed to connect to iTunes.

  • DRM for Windows Media Player on the ipod

    My ipod is worthless, if it can't play files with DRM for Windows Media Player. My library, that offers this files for download says, it would cost 50.000 dollars to provide also ipod-compatible files. Because they can't spend this money, I will need a new mp3-player!

    The specs for the iPod (box, website) are pretty clear about what formats it supports. Unfortunately, protected WMA files are not supported.
    If the rights you have for those files includes burning them to an audio CD, you might want to do that.

  • Windows Media Player found my iPod ? ? ? ?

    I bought a iPod last night. It's the 30GB 5G model. I love this thing. It's the first one I have ever had. I found podcasts using iTunes . . . anyways, on to my question.
    I plugged it in this evening while I was ripping CD's with iTunes. I also had Windows Media Player up and paused because I was watching a TV show (mpg file) that I had recorded. WMP saw the iPod and started writing to it somehow. Do I need to somehow clear out the iPod and re-sync from scratch?
    Wayne

    It appeared to be writing to it. It found it as a generic media player/drive even though I did not enable "drive use" on the iPod. So if wrote stuff, and can't play it, then there is stuff wasting space . . . So maybe it would be best to wipe it and start over.
    I think there is a option to "factory reset" it with the software. If I remember right, it clears the unit of music etc. Then I could resync right?

  • Window media player wont work with OSX?

    Hey, just curious. I downloaded a Windows Media Player that says its for OSX, but when i go to do a test before i subscribe to a streaming radio show it runs a test where its suppose to show a video but i just get jumbled text. am i missing something?

    Try using Flip4Mac; Microsoft has abandoned the Mac OS X version of Windows Media Player.

  • My itunes wont detect ipod touch over wifi

    i had this error  many months before but i solved this problem but now my ipod is not getting detected on itunes i tried to  delete bonjour from add/remove programs and then re-install itunes but still the problem is not solved ...please help

    First, make sure your iPod software is up to date: iPod Updater - Version 1.1.1.
    Try resetting it while it's connected to your computer:
    1. Lay your iPod down on your computer desk.
    2. Connect your iPod to your computer (if it's not already).
    3. Use your pointer finger from your left hand, and press down on the Menu button.
    4. Wait a few seconds.
    5. Use your pointer finger from your other hand, and press down on the Select button.
    6. Hold them down together until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work, try connecting it via a different USB port. If not, try restoring it with the latest iPod Updater.

  • IPOD NANO compatible with Windows Media Player????

    Hey guys,
    I realize this may be a really dumb posting but I'm looking at purchasing a iPod Nano but my concerns are about how you load your music onto the ipod. I currently have all my music in my Windows Media Player but the ipod webiste says that I have to use the iTunes program. Any information or clarification would be greatly appreciated as I debate such a large purchase! Thanks!
      Windows XP  

    Ok, I am definitely very technologically challenged, and I got a nano for christmas, and I have no idea how to get my music files from windows media player to itunes. I use limewire, which then puts all files in Media player, but my roomie accidentally deleted all my music from limewire, so now all that is in my itunes is all the music he downloaded from limewire after he deleted the library. Please help!!! I really wanna use my nano!!
    Thanks
