Hi,
I've had a search on the forums and cannot find an answer to my question so....
Activesync works fine emails, contacts etc all sync perfectly. My problem is when i try to sync my playlist on WMP11 to my device after about 5-10 secs of syncing the computer freezes and then restarts with no warning whatsoever
Could it be that the playlist is too long? I still have 2.3Gb of space left on my internal storage and not all the memory taken up is music.
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried an uninstall of Activesync and re-downloaded and installation with no change to my problem.
PC is WIndows XP sp3 and Activesync 4.5, Windows media player 11
Many thanks,
Sjrh

I have an 8MB SDHC card in my TyTn II and was contemplating using Windows Media Player Synch. It says in the manual that you can aslo synch the storage card but regardless of what I try I cannot get WMP on the PC to see the storage card?? When I use Windows Explorer on the PC I can see and navigate to it and examine the content in it, but not with Windows Media Player? I have a My Music folder on the card and there are WMA and MP3 files in there.
Is it a WMP glitch perhaps or is there something I should have done (card formatting - it's a brand new card though, never been in another device) or perhaps need to do???
I recently had the same problem: I could view the contents of my 8GB Sandisk in File Manager, Total Commander or Resco Explorer, I could create, update and use the library in HTC Audio Manager, but WMP could not see the storage card and therefore could not update the library (it could work from its saved record of the library before I deleted that).
At the same time, Outlook began having problems. Any time I would try to open an attachment (attachments are stored on the storage card) it would take several minutes to open and the application (usually Word) would be so sluggish as to be unusable. Also, Pocket Player was taking about 5 minutes to start up (I'm assuming that it was doing a library scan before opening).
The only thing that fixed it for me was flashing a new ROM. Hard reset and restoring a backup did not work and decided that if I was going to hard reset and start setting up again from scratch, which might work, then I might as well try a new ROM.

What version of WMP do you have on the PC and what OS? What you want worked OK for me with a Win XP Pro SP3 PC using WMP 11 and AS 4.5. WMP even categorised all my MP3s into individual artist folders on the card (6 GB Sandisk). WMP 11 saw my TyTN II and because I wanted to transfer more than the remaining internal storage space on my TyTN II worth of MP3s across, was clever enough to automatically put them all on the card.
I might try the ROM/WM 6.1 upgrade from the HTC site. I have it downloaded but was reluctant to install bearing in mind the various problem threads.
I am running Windiows Vista Business and have Media Player 11. It seems odd that Windows Explorer can see the Storage Card but not Media Player. I cannot add it by browsing via 'Add to Library' either. Not too crticial for me as there are other methods (indeed other players) to get music across but it's one of those things that now I know it's not working - I'd like to fix).
i have Vista x64 and windows media player 11 doesn't recognize my htc diamond, not as storage device or as WM device. So i can't sync any media
in windows diamond is recognised as storage device or WM device without any problems, just media player can't see it :/ No problems with winamp also
Also it media player sync works fine at winXP
can this problem be solved?
Hello!!
I have a similar problem: windows media player does recoginize my device, but it only shows the storage capacity of the internal memory of my diamond, not the whole 4Gb. So all i have is like 60 MB storage capacity.
I use Windows Vista and Windows Media Player 11.
I'm running windows vista, and i've really starting to get annoyed by this auto sync prompt that windows media player does if you have it open. I'm not sure if you guys have run into it, but if i'm watching a movie, or video in WMP on my desktop, and i connect my device to sync or charge via usb...it minimized the video and switches to the sync tab. is there ANYWAY to disable this so wmp does nothing i've search around and can't seem to find anything.
Well I'm not totally sure, but I know in Vista if you go to the Control Panel and go to Auto Play you can disable some things.
I'm in the same boat simbadogg. Still looking for a solution. Will post if I find one...
yeah, i fixed that a while ago...u can change it so when you sync your device, it doesn't have the lil popup come onto the screen (when you normally insert a cd, usb drive etc...the ones that ask you what you want to do). So that was easy to take care of, but it looks like microsoft thinks that every storage device wants to be synced w/ WMP. gahhhh'd...idiots. well, i guess i'll keep searching.
I think it should solve it if you disable media sharing in the PC Windows Media Player options.

media sharing has zilch to do w/ wmp and its syncing. i have it on now since i got my ps3, but this has always been a problem even before i had it on.
Disable WMP sync
I have disabled the Portable Device Enumerator Service and it seems that this autosync (and WMP remaining "alive" in the background) has now ended.
No secondary effects detected.
Think it is one more of those Services that Microsoft activates by default and we have to turn off so our computers can run Vista.
Thanks for this info. I stumble upon it and it does indeed help.
Cheers,
NTD

Hi All,
having had my Galaxy S for a few weeks now I am still struggling to find an itunes/ipod equivalent. I really would like to get rid of iTunes but it made using the iPhone as an iPod very easy.
I drive a lot and listen predominantly to tech podcasts and audio books. Audio books are nicely taken care of with the audible app. I don't want to download podcasts on the Galaxy, because I want to keep some podcasts and that is easier to manage on the PC. I want to be able to sync my phone and automatically get a playlist of podcasts I haven't listened to yet.
So, I have been experimenting with MediaMonkey, Winamp, DoubleTwist, and The Missing Sync.
What I have noticed is that if I connect the Galaxy to a VmWare XP Virtual Machine all the programs work fine, but natively on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, I get odd behaviour:
Winamp, DoubleTwist, and the Missing Sync all will not recognize that I have connected the Galaxy. Yes it is in Mass storage mode, yes I have mounted the phone, yes I can see the drives in explorer and happily drag files to and from both the internal storage and the SD card.
Is anyone successfully using any of these applications with a 64 bit version of Windows 7?
Or has anyone had similar problems?
Warning: Incoming rant below. Feel free to skip to the question at the very bottom.
I had synced my Windows Media Player Playlist into HTC Sync Manager and synced the playlist to my phone via Sync Manager 5 or so months ago. Since then I have added a few songs (about 30) to the playlist, and today tried to sync the new songs to my phone today. I then watched the progress indicator sit at 1% for about 5 minutes before progressing to 2%.
"This is completely unacceptable!" I thought to myself. For years I've used Windows Media Player to sync my music to my devices, which does so much more quickly than this. "Screw HTC Sync Manager. I'm going to just use Windows Media Player.". Unfortunately, when attempting to do that, I was met with a generic error screen. Multiple attempts ended the same way.
Apparently I'm left with two options. I can either spend a day updating my phone via HTC Sync Manager whenever I get new music, or I can use the drag and drop method so often recommended to others sharing similar issues with HTC Sync Manager. The problem with that is it requires me to create a separate folder, organize all of my music (many gigs worth of my favorite individual songs from many albums) into designated sub-folders, and copy all of those songs, paste them into their appropriate folders, and waste lots of time and valuable space on my computer's tiny hard drive. At the risk of sounding whiny, I ask you guys;
Is there an alternative way/program to sync my Windows Media Player playlists to my HTC One without using HTC Sync Manager or having to Drag and Drop files (Or is there a way to drag and drop the playlist so that it transfers the music in the playlist to the phone instead of just the playlist file)? Thanks in advance!
I believe I may have found a solution...
I DL'd SyncPlaylist and am in the process of Syncing my WMP Playlist with a portable flash drive. Once this is completed, I'll drag and drop the files onto the Phone.
I'm only 5% into it now, but will post the results once it's finished.
