Windows Media Player 12 - Sync List Empty

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

If your device's storage capacity is more than 4 gigabytes (GB), and your entire Player Library can fit on the device, Windows Media Player will automatically sync unless you choose to manually sync. If you keep the automatic sync option, you
can either choose which files to sync or you can have the entire Player Library copied to the device.

Every time you connect your device to your PC while Windows Media Player is running, the Player automatically updates the contents of the device to mirror the contents of the Player Library.

However, if you are not seeing the list of songs under the Sync tab, I would suggest you to try these steps and check again:

1. Open Windows Media Player and click the sync tab.

2. Go to the folder where the songs are stored.

3. Select all the songs, left click on the highlighted songs and drag it to Windows media player under “sync”

Let us know if you get the same result.

You can also try to directly add the songs manually by following the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + E to open file explorer.

2. Click "This PC" on the left pane.

3. Double click the phone and locate the folder where the songs are stored.

Copy and paste the desired songs in this particular folder

I also suggest you to Run the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter and check, if the issue persists.

Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter:

a. Press “Windows key” on your keyboard.

b. Type Troubleshooting and click Troubleshooting under Settings.

c. Now select Programs in the search option.

d. Under Media Player, select Windows Media Player Settings to run the troubleshooter.

Hope this helps. If issue persists, please reply with information for further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Some WMP songs will not return to itunes library


When I try to access specific songs in itunes it says "file location not found" yet I can call the song up on wmp and listen to it.
Sometimes when I list the album in itunes the song is missing and other times it is grayed out. I am trying to put music to a video but I can only do it through itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have spent too much time watching facebook videos on how to sync these two programs
