  • Problems with Ipod and Windows Media Player PLEASE HELP

    Ok i am not sure if this is the correct forum or not but i am having a problem. I have a Windows computer (Yes a windows computer please dont everyone yell at me) and i have a new ipod 30 gig video. Ok well when i put itunes on it changes all my music on my computer gets changed to AAC format and i cannot play music in windows media player. Ok well that is not my big issue. I make videos for church using windows movie maker and i cannot import music because nothing windows can recognize Itunes format which is AAC. well is there anyway so i can use itunes and still use WIndows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker... Any info will be greatly appreciated. THANKS ALL

    I believe Quicktime Pro (which is available for Windoze) is capable of opening any WMP files and then you just export it as iPod format. That is how I get video onto the iPod. The Music and Videos all can be placed onto your iPod through iTunes.
    So, if you are creating videos in your program, and want them on your iPod, then that is how you can do it.
    Videos on your iPod have nothing to do with the formatting of your music. But, as the earlier post stated, change your prefs in iTunes to import as MP3. But, your videos HAVE to be in MP4 or M4V format to work on the iPod.
    Good luck... and I'm a j3susfreak too

    You do not. The iPod will only sync to iTunes.

  • CoreCentre and Windows Media Player 9

    I have a problem with CoreCentre and Windows Media Player 9.  When CoreCentre is running, the CD drive stops and starts when I am playing an audio CD with Media Player 9.  If I use any other Cd audio player (eg Creative Mediasource Player) it does not happen.  I like to use Windows Media Player 9 (I am probably one of the few) but do not wish to turn off CoreCentre.
    Can you help me please.  I have asked MSI support staff with no luck and also Microsoft Support (They suggested I go into Safe Mode and see if it still happens - of course it doesn't - I am in Safe Mode! - nothing works!!!).
    I am running Windows XP Pro SP1 with 865Pe Neo2 board, 1GB DDR3200 RAM and Pentium 4 3.0 GHz.
    Sheryl

    Well first of all get out of "safe mode"...It's no fun in there ...No really, I can believe that you are not the only one that this happens to ...You have to understand that "CORE-CENTER" is a resource hog!!..As it  has to be in order to give you that critical info in "real-time"..So I take it that this prob. only happens when you are running the CD or DVD programs?...Do you have your DRAM Voltage set to 2.7 Volts?..As this always seems to help on these MO-BO'S (i865-i875)...And if that does'nt work why not just close down "CORE-CENTER?..Until you are finnished with you CD'S ..Sean REILLY875

  • Which Code of avi can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

    Which Code of avi also can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

    Nevermind ... not that simple apparently. I managed to get one of the avi's in the CS5 project created automatically when opening the original CS4 project to show the entire contents but can't replicate the behavior to another project using the same avi. Here are the media start, end, duration and video in, out duration values for the file. Viewing the avi in the source monitor I can see the full 16+ minutes. Odd disconnect between the 2 sets of values.
    Any idea would be great!
    Thanks,

  • IPod 5th generation and Windows Media Player

    I just got an iPod 5th gen. for my b-day and have a ton of music on Windows Media Player that I want to put on the iPod. When I try to sync, Windows Media Player says to "connect device". I plug in the Ipod but it still says to connect the device. Is the iPod compatible with the Windows media Player or just iTunes? If I can't do this, then how do I purchase and store music on iTunes and keep it all separate from my wife's music?...she has her own iPod and iTunes account with her own music and DOES NOT WANT my "crappy" music mixed with hers. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    No, iPods are NOT compatible with Windows Media Player. There are a variety of other third party programs that are compatible with an iPod, but I would not recommend using them for a number of reasons.
    If I can't do this, then how do I purchase and store music on iTunes and keep it all separate from my wife's music?...she has her own iPod and iTunes account with her own music and DOES NOT >WANT my "crappy" music mixed with hers. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    There are several different ways for handling multiple iPods with one computer. One option is to create an entirely new and separate iTunes library. The only downfall to this, is that you will have to manually choose which library to open upon opening iTunes each time. For more help and information regarding these methods, check out this Apple support document.

  • How to synch ipod with windows media player

    Trying to load songs i have on my Windows media player to my ipod, computer won't regonise ipod and let me synch.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media like apps now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • I pod Nano and Windows Media player.

    Can someone please help! All my music is in windows media player and I dont know how to transfer it over to by nano.

    If the WMA files are "unprotected", iTunes can convert them when you add them to your library. It should do this automatically when you use the "file/add to library" option in iTunes.
    If not, see: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.
    However, iTunes cannot convert "protected" WMA files.
    The only way to convert these files would be to burn them to an "audio" cd and import that into iTunes as you would any other cd.
    Once they are in iTunes and converted to a format the iPod can read, they should transfer.

  • How to play music from iPod through Windows Media Player

    I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence .... but just in case anyone hasn't yet figured it out, here's how to play music from your iPod on a computer that does not have iTunes installed:
    On your computer, connect the iPod to iTunes and click on it's name. Then under the general tab, check "allow disk use". Your iPod will then act as a USB hard drive and will then show up as a drive in My Computer. Now all you need to do is to create a Music folder on it and then copy all your music to it!
    Your iPod's USB hard drive should show up under My Computer on most Windows computers. Therefore providing the computer has Windows Media Player installed, you will be able to play all your music on it! This saves you having to bother with portable/travel speakers, some of which sound terrible anyway!

  • Iphone and windows media player

    I just got the new iphone and would like to load songs from my pc which is windows xp pro. I have windows media player 11. The player does not recognize the device when hooked up. Hope there is an easy solution.

    Hi Dean and welcome to Discussions,
    to use you iPhone with a Windows PC you have to use iTunes for Windows http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/ and also get the iPhone Configuration Utility from there.
    The Windows Media Player is not supported with the iPhone (see requirements here http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html )

  • ITunes and Windows Media Player

    I just installed iTunes 8 on my PC with Vista and now I can't even open Windows Media Player. I did not change the default to iTunes and expected to still be able to use the Windows player. Any ideas for a fix?

    OK, found a solution elsewhere on the net.
    I searched for ages on Google and on Apple's site and could not find the solution. Combining what was said in this link http://johnhaller.com/jh/usefulstuff/itunes_arist_in_titleissue.asp with another user's mention of absolute paths in M3U playlists was the solution.
    First, load your M3U playlist into Excel as a text file. Use Excel's auto filter function to remove any rows that reference the track # or title - they all start with the pound sign. This leaves behind just the path to the actual file and the filename itself. Then, edit the paths so that they're the full absolute path to the file. In my case, the paths were missing the "C:\" designator. Once I did that, I created a new empty playlist with the name that I wanted, and I dragged the modified M3U playlist onto it. Voila! iTunes added the playlist without adding new files to the library. It's a miracle!

  • Quicktime and windows media player question??

    i have sent a quicktime file of a spot i did for a client, they like it and have uploaded it to their website, but they are getting some that say they can not view it because they only use windows media player, i know this maybe a stupid question but how can i send them a copy they can use in media player so they have both?? thanks for you help!!!

    you can buy and use the WMV Studio windows media export components from Flip4Mac which wil allow you to export to a windows media format directly from FCP and other suitable QT compliant apps ...
    or you can copy the file over onto your own quicktime enabled PC and use the free, and much faster, windows media encoder there.
