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.

  • My iTunes syncs with my iPod but the songs do not show up on my iPod after.

    I'm not really sure how to go about fixing it either, as iTunes says that the songs have all synced with my iPod.
    Any suggestions?

    I do not have a solution but I am having the same problem.
    If anyone could help, please do.

    I have followed instructions for transferring my iTunes library from my MacBook Pro to my iPod. The summary window shows lots of unused memory and it partly fills when I hit "sync," but then returns to nearly empty and the music does not show up on my iPod--"no music." Any suggestions would be appreciated. l've read all the instructions I can find. Thanks.

    hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch.i  am having trouble with apps. i have bought apps off itunes but it wont appear on my ipod. i have synced the ipod with the computer multiple times but still no luck. i think it has something to do with my settings but i am not sure.please any helpwill be very much appreciated.thank you

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Ever since I downloaded the ICloud I am unable to use my camera, it will turn on but the screen will not show the camera view, anyone else have this problem or what I can do to fix?

    Ever since I downloaded/installed the ICloud IOS5 I can not use the camera icon on my Ipod. I can click on the icon, the screen will lighten just a little but it is not letting me see what is in the camera view. Any one else have this problem or know how I can fix it?

    Make an appointment at the genius bar are your nearest Apple store. At this point there is nothing you can do without a computer, so if you don't have one and don't know anyone who has one that you can use the Apple store is a good fallback.

    Hello Rolando,
    Welcome to Sony Community.
    You can directly transfer content by drag-and-drop to your computer from the below link:
    http://esupport.sony.com/docs/reader/PRST1/eng/contents/03/01/02/02.html?search=windows
    Also, you can try the “SYNC” option in the Windows Media Player, after connecting the Reader to the Computer, for transferring the songs.
    Refer the below link to check for the supported file types.

  • How to convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to play in iTunes

    How do I convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to now play in iTunes?

    Use Edit > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings to set your desired import format and bitrate. Note there is no point converting 128k wma into 320k mp3, you'll just get bigger files with no improvement in quality. Once you have set your import settings just drag & drop the files you want converted into iTunes.

  • Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

    I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
    ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
    files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
    The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
    Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
    there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
    Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
    DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

    I somewhat agree with you.
    Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
    "7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
    Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines.  Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
    Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
    So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

    How long did you wait for the download to run?  The last time I downloaded the Windows support files for Boot Camp, it was going very slowly, so I swapped away to another task.  Several minutes later I came back and it had moved a little, but not much, so I went on with other things.  When I got back to it several hours later, the download had completed.  Perhaps you just need to let it go overnight to perform the downloads...

    Best,

    you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac.  you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
    adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
    your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.
