Sync motorola razr windows media player

Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. It does not detect the model so when I sync my music thru Windows Media Player, my phone does not recognize the file type. Apparently, media player is not converting my music files to be played on my phone. How do I correct this problem. I have uninstalled my drivers for my phone provided by windows-7 and reinstalled them.

It still only sees my phone as a storage device This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question I could not understand why WMP would not find it as a device. One you sync the phone and it installs the drivers, if you have WMP11 running it will immediately pick it up and show it as a device on the LEFT hand side under library etc etc.

Also Cincy is posted somewhere a link to a guys site marks site that has some more lengthy dummy proof steps to go through. Shows you how much Iused my phone prior to this!

I would goto google and type "windows media player 11" follow the microsloth link and download the newest package. Its a few minute download. Then, run it and THEN try to sync your music up. Be sure to download and run that patch. I was clicking on that patch like 5 times so shouldn't be a harm to run it several times on your end either After reboot, after trying to sync, after trying to etc etc etc.

I shouldnt have had to though as my issue was just stupidity on my part. MarkTX New Member. After sifting through a bunch of these threads, am I correct in assuming the Alltel V3m is pretty much useless with WMP?

Even if you remove the microSD card from the phone and hook it up directly to the computer and load songs via WMP, you won't have anyway to play em once the microSD card is reinstalled in the phone? Lol I could barely type that without laughing. Ok yes, yes they are. They define arrogance. Again, lets hope a good company comes from all of this by the time we are old and the wireless chip that will be implanted in us will actually work the way we want without mods lol.

Ok well, to touch base with you again if you are still watching this thread. The information you provided seems to be incorrect as far as the steps. Or maybe I did things incorrectly and that's how I got mine to work.

Either way. I'm already convinced that I would much rather have my crappy Ipod than my even crappier razr playing music. Eventually I'll break down and buy the Sony mp3 player which in our family we have but I have no access to it so, it is something I truly like better than the ipod,..

Here is what I did step by step to get my phone working. I made sure that I didn't have a little block or cylinder on my usb cable as that is an in line filter that will not work properly. So I used one that I know works with other device other than what it was made for originally a sony digi cam.

I believe I restarted the computer and the phone to make sure it all 'kicked in' but my ADHD was kicking in high so Im not sure if I did anything in the correct order here. Alas, it did show as a modem in device manager. I check for the device and it wouldn't find it. Dading, was heard. LIke 3 times as it didnt seem to register. Maximized my WMP and it was listed in there. If you tried this on two different computers, then you are doing something wrong or DID something wrong in the past.

I would make sure that you run windows update before all of this and make it download all the crits. Be sure you are running service pack 2 , right click on my computer and click on properties.

If you do not see that, download and install it. If after this it still doesn't work. Try to take a break from all of this and redo all of the steps as there is something definetely wrong in your procedures based on your statements.

You said that you did most of this stuff with the phone off. Leave it on the whole time and use the usb cable connected to the computer. Try moving the ports of the usb cable. Especially if you are using the front jacks, move them to the back USB ports. I'm not going to go into a lengthy discussion why but trust me, the back ones are notoriously better than the fronts. Especially with 'name brand' computers. You also said you tried running the hardware finder.

That thing doesnt work. Never use it again. It's a last desperate hope and usually If you install drivers, then plug a device in, the device should work fine without a hardware wizard. Each method transfers music in different ways; the right one for you is primarily a personal choice.

Before you can transfer music to your phone, you'll need to meet a few basic equipment requirements. You'll also need a compatible USB cable, ideally the one supplied in the box by Motorola.

The music files in question must also be a compatible file type. The Razr Maxx also does not support music encoded with digital rights management security technology. Connect your phone to your computer using a compatible USB cable. The phone should be listed in Windows and explorable like a removable hard drive. By browsing the phone using File Explorer, you'll find a folder marked "Music. Once finished, eject the phone from the computer and the new music should be ready to play.
