Ipod WILL sync with Windows Media Player....not iTunes!!!!

To no avail, my ipod is not recognized in iTunes... however it is by my computer, and my Windows Media Player will sync to it...
I have tried to Reset, Restore, Reinstall... all of that, but nothing has worked. I have Vista, anyone have any ideas? I would much rather use iTunes, so I can download some games, and such... but I CAN work around with Windows Media Player using mp3 files... no album art

have you ever found a solution to your problem? I would like to know, because I'm having the same issues with my Nano. If so, help me Please......

  • Ipod accidently synced with Windows Media Player

    When I hooked up my Ipod to my Windows computer and had Media Player up and running, it started to sync my files to my ipod....again...even though the same files are already on the ipod from itunes. When i sync my ipod now from itunes, it shows over 3 GB in "other"....the orange colored markings showing double the amount of music i'm supposed to have on there. How can I delete this "other" files from the ipod, which are uselessly taking up space without doing me any good at all?????? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

    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

  • Creative Zen V Plus won't sync with Windows Media Player 11?

    My Zen V Plus won't synchronize with Windows Media Player . I plug it into the USB, then an error message pops up in WMP that says "WMP has encountered a problem and needs to close" but if I just move the window aside WMP works fine. I then click 'sync" and it says "preparing to sync" but doesnt move beyond that. I have synced with WMP before, this problem has recently started occurring. I have all the firmware updates on my player, I don't know what is causing this problem.

  • 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!

  • Syncing with windows media player

    Do I have to have my music in itunes or can I sync with the music I have in my windows media player?

    You can sync an iPod with WMP using some 3rd party software like XPlay. It's not free software however, so why not use iTunes?

  • I tried to Sync with Windows Media Player, What happend?

    I, being the stupid impulsive 17 year old that I am, tried to sync a huge list of songs from my fathers computer(which does not have Itunes) with my Ipod. Well... I thought it had worked, stupid me. To my suprise when I had disconnected my Ipod I found that NONE of the songs appeared on the list and further, when I returned home, I found that my computer (which has both Itunes and Windows Media Player) could not find the songs on the Ipod. Please tell me what Happened!
    Thank You

    The iPod cannot be synched to Windows Media Player and in its attempt, it probably corrupted the iPod's database.

  • BlackBerry not syncing with Windows Media Player

    Somehow, my BB doesn't seem to sync with WMP properly, although either my BB or WMP are working normally. The same with the music library. Updated music files or playlists aren't 'recognized' by BB Link, but only the files which were already in my library before.
    Cannot sync anything between BB and WMP.
    Thanks in advance, I appreciate your kind help!
    Mr. Knox

    Did you try clearing the sync relationships and establishing them again?

    No.
    Why would you want to use WMP instead of iTunes?

  • Export options for use with Windows Media Player

    In Captivate 5, what formats can be exported to (now that AVI is no longer a choice) that will work with Windows Media Player? Unfortunately a Flash based file is not an option in this instance.

    Hi there
    You could publish from Captivate as FLV or F4V, then use a conversion utility to convert to AVI if you want.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I want to sync my ipod with windows media player

    I just bought a iPod Touch and realized that I can't sync w/windows media player to get my music off of it...how can I sync the two?

    You can add music you got from Windows Media Player to iTunes all you have to do is go to menu -> add file -> and locate the music.

  • 2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

    My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs.  It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

    If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes.  If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
    If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
    NOTE:  If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music.  Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content.  If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
    If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
    One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod.  Or you can use existing playlists.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content).  Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod.  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.

  • 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.

    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.
