Playlists won't sync with windows 8.1 and wmp 12

Just updated to a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and (sadly) Windows Media Player 12. Everything works except I cannot get the playlists to work -- the music syncs just fine. It all worked beautifully before in an older version of WMP. My wonderful old Fuze is version v01.02.31A. I have tried all the mtp/msc tricks posted. I can change the extension of my wpl playlists to either pla or m3u and the folder will appear on the Fuze, but it is still empty. Short of manually changing the genre of my songs so they'll at least group together even if not in the right order (which I am considering out of sheer frustration), is there any way to sync my playlists?

I don't use playlists. Maybe as a workaround you could try music software other than Windows Media Player, like Media Monkey

And see if you have better luck.
The free version of Mediamonkey should do playlists for you; what you get with the Gold (paid) version, mostly, is an mp3 ripper, but you can also install an mp3 ripper without buying it.

My Outlook calendar won't sync with my ipod touch and vice versa. Wherever I input the info is where it stays. Contacts and notes sync but not calendar.

My iPod Calendar won't sync with my Outlook Calendar and vice versa. Wherever I input the information is where it stays. My contacts and notes sync just fine. Please help. Very frustrated. It used to work just fine. I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2 version.

I have the same problem since I updated to iTunes 10.2 Sue (I think). For me this was somewhere in January.
I wasn't sure iTunes was the issue, until I read your post. I tested syncing a note, and that works fine.
My 2nd generation Ipod Touch runs on IOS 4.2.1. It won't upgrade to 4.3.
Possibly the synchonisation between iTunes 10.2 and IOS 4.2.1 doesn't work correctly.
Has somebody else solved this isue? I use both calendars (on iPod Touch and on PC) for work and private matters.
Otherwise I have to uninstall iTunes 10.2 and downgrade to 10.2.

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.

Playlists won't sync with iPhone

Playlists created in iTunes 11.3 won't sync with my iPhone 5S running iOS 7.1.2. I am using Mac OS X 10.9.4 and connecting the iPhone via USB.
Playlists created in the iPhone will sync to iTunes but if I add songs in iTunes, they are not added to the iPhone during sync.
Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the syncing troubles?

IPod Classic 120gb won't sync with Windows 7

I recently purchased a new computer and installed iTunes fully on it (with all 2000 of my songs!). When I plugged in my iPod to sync with the new computer, I began to get error messages about certain songs. When the sync was "complete," I had about 600 songs on there. I have tried numerous troubleshooting ideas and have restored my iPod numerous times as well to no avail. I attempted to sync with the old computer and am getting the same error messages. Any ideas!?

Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is the iPod software that is shown on the iTunes summary page?
It would be helpful, if you can tell us the exact error messages.
Has these "unsyncable" same songs been synced to the iPod using the old computer?
Have a nice day!

2G ipod nano won't sync with windows XP

I've tried all the R's, updating USB drivers, ipod bat, every solution I've found on the pages and still won't sync to my laptop. It worked until June 13, when I charged it, and then the next time it wouldn't sync. It will restore, and I could sync it to my son's desktop computer. Every other USB device I have works. Help Please!!

Hi therowan,
Are you getting any error messages when you try syncing your iPod with your computer? If so, what does it say?
If you aren't getting any sort of error, then could you describe what exactly happens when your iPod is connected to your computer? Without info about your problem like that, I really can't help you in a specific way.
One thing that came to mind (although it might not be the issue here), is that this might be a case of drive letter confusion on your computer. Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter, following the instructions from here:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive

Treo 755p - Sprint won't sync with Windows 7

I used the Treo 755 with XP with very few problems. I have tried and failed 6 or 7 times to connect to Windows 7. The installation takes me to the syncronize step and it dies there. When it won't sync I can only skip the step. It won't let me go back. I need to backup before I lose something important. Plus I have files I want to transfer and can't. Ideas?

View Solution.

I ask you the same question we ask everyone else having problems with Win7 - what version of Win7 do you have? 32bit or 64bit?
It's well known that you cannot sync via USB cable to any 64bit OS - Access (the company that owns Palm Desktop) never bothered to write drivers for XP/Vista/Win 7 64bit versions!
Only workaround is syncing via a wireless method - BlueTooth, Infra-red, or Wifi.
Please read this sticky thread set up in the HotSync area of the Forum concerning Win7 syncing:

New Ipod touch won't sync with window's vista/itunes 9.2 - help!!

I charged my brand new ipod touch via my computer, have it plugged it into my computer's USB port, and Itunes acknowledges the device in the left hand menu BUT it automatically says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out". The ipod will not sync with my itunes! I tried connection/disconnecting, turning the ipod on and off, and restarting the computer. No luck. What do I need to do? Please help, I was so excited to get the new ipod and now I can't use it! I have window's vista and I don't know anything about how to check or change computer settings that might be preventing the store from opening (it used to open, but I haven't tried in a while and I just downloaded version 9.2 today).

Ipod Touch 3rd Gen won't sync with windows

I've tried all the different troubleshooting through Apple but can't get my Ipod Touch 3rd Gen to show up on windows much less sync with Itunes. I just went through the process of fixing my Iphone so I know that Itunes is properly installed and the other drivers should be good. I even turned on Bonjour, which the one of the trouble shooting steps exposed. Any tips other then buy a new Ipod touch?

Palm z22 won't sync with Windows 7

I have a palm Z22 which I only use for geocaching. Has been working fine with Windows XP.
Just got a new computer running Windows 7. Installed from the disc (few years old)..wouldn't sync or recognize the PDA. Downloaded Palm Desktop 6.2 which was supposed to fix the problem..didn't work.
What now?? Would buy another Palm PDA if necessary. Are there any which will work on Windows 7?

You get asked it every day? Too much of a bother to you?
Assuming only one person per day contacts you about this issue (which I very much doubt), that would mean approximately 120 persons have bothered to ask the question since the release of Windows 7. This does not reflect the many who simply toss their Palm product in the trash, and buy a competitor's product.
It is incomprehensible to me that a patch has not been written yet. And it is obvious that you really just do not care. You present yourself as simply annoyed that you CUSTOMERS are asking for help.
No enterprise that relies on satisfied customers can long survive with an attitude that a portion of their users just don't matter.
Since this is only your third post here I'll try to help you out with some background information how forums work.
Questions that get asked over and over get special treatment - they get responses that are stuck to the top of each section of the forum, and are called "sticky posts". They are placed prominently at the top, and have a dark background to attract the attention of New Users who may be unfamiliar how internet forums work. It's "assumed" anyone looking for answers would scan the top of a section first before posting questions.
Perhaps you missed the one for Windows 7? Did you not get any results using the Search function? How about using the new Tag function to click on "Windows_7"? Have you been trying to sync to a 64bit system via cable? Palm Desktop 6.2.2 works fine with 32bit Win7...
So you feel I don't care eh? Do you see a Palm logo under my nickname? You don't, due to the fact I am a VOLUNTEER here, sitting at home, and offering my years of experience with PalmOS devices freely to those asking for help. I am the highest Kudo'd responder here (kudos=Thank You's), have the highest post count, and yes answering the same question over and over again does get tedious at times!
The plain fact remains that Palm Inc. is ending support for PalmOS devices, and those of us using them are on our own. They sold Palm Desktop to a Japanese company named "Access" years ago, and have gone to webOS as their entire future. Microsoft has changed their OS twice now (since XP), and you chose to purchase it/them. Access finally came out with version 6.2.2 of Palm Desktop (for Vista), but that seems to be the end of the road as far as they're concerned.
One of the basic tenets of business is to attract new customers constantly. Palm's PDA line was discontinued due to lack of sales. Yes, I would have loved to have seen a TX2, or at least see Palm actually advertise and market what they actually had. Palm Inc. has moved on, and would like everyone to purchase a webOS device now.
Welcome to the Forum, and I hope you get the answers you are seeking.

Status as a volunteer does not bestow license for rudeness.
It should be reasonably simple to provide a link to a summary of the Windows 7 sync problems, rather than replying to the questioner in the manner you did.
A problem so often asked about deserves to be handled helpfully, not sarcastically. Actually, no request for help of any kind should be treated so disparagingly.
And, although I have no intention of getting into a pissing contest with you, you are way off base in your response to me, dripping with disparagement and sarcasm.
Clearly, in your mind at least, anyone daring to criticize you must be an ignoramus.
I did not search the forum to arrive here.
I came to this forum page from an outside link. Had I realized it would bring me here, I would not have followed it.
I long ago gave up expecting anything helpful in the Palm forums as it relates to this issue.
You did however provide one major piece of useful information: that Palm has literally abandoned PDA users. Yet as recently as last November, the Palm Store in my City was actively selling PDA's including the Z22. One would think that those newly purchased devices would be supported for some reasonable amount of time, like at least a year!
Now I know what future products not to buy. And whom not to engage in conversation.

New version of iTunes won't sync with Windows Media library.

Have just installed newest version of iTunes on Windows 7 PC, and also added new music to library in Windows Media Player. For some reason iTunes is no longer syncing with WMP as it did in the past. How to fix?

When iTunes is first installed it will offer to scan the computer for content. Thereafter you need to actively add content to the library, either by ripping or downloading with iTunes, adding to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, using the Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library menus, dragging and dropping into iTunes, or playing from Windows Explorer if iTunes is the default media player. There is a tool call iTunes Folder Watch which some people use to automate this process, there may be others. iTunes doesn't do it out of the box.

Contacts and calendars won't sync with Windows 7 PC

Just had to buy a new pc (only because my MacBook got stolen) and I set up the iCloud on the machine but my calendars and contacts will not sync with Outlook 2010. Bookmarks, pictures will, but contacts and calendars say they cannot start the operation because of an unexpected error. Any help out there?

The contacts and calendar do sync into another user account but _only some of the records_.
ZoneAlarm. And there is no difference whether it is running or not.
One odd thing:
In order to try to find which record(s) might be causing the problem I sorted my calendar on the "Date Created" field hoping to be able to go back in history and see exactly when things went wrong. Much to my surprise I found that the 13 most recent records did not sync to my iPhone. Then the next 2 did. Then the next 3 did not. Then 1 did. etc.
