I did have the media sync working before, but it would only work occasionally, then I got it to work when I would restart my phone. Now it doesn't work at all. Also at first the music I would sync would also display the album art, now it only displays the green music note.
The reason I want to use the media sync is so that I can play the DRM music I have through my zune pass. if it wasn't for that I would just use the disk drive.
any ideas or any resolutions?
65 views and no one else has this issue?
Well i wiped all drivers and downloads on my computer and plugged in the phone let it download the adb driver and now it seems to work.
For some reason I have to restart the phone to get the music to sync (which isn't to bad since I have to still restart to be able to do the media sync or the computer will see it then disconnect it after 2 seconds) and it still does not show the album art in the stock player but i downloaded mixzing and it is showing up, but that might be because it is set up to download album art. I'm going to turn that off and see what really happens next.

Hi
Can anyone help please.
I want to download photos from the device to the home computer.
I have had the device for a week and am unable to synchronize with windows media player 11. Media player does not appear to recognise the device at all. All other folders synchronize OK. I am using zone alarm security suite 7 and have changed the settings as per instructions from the active sync website. Still no joy. I am using XP professional. Thankyou.
Is Windows Media Player recognizing your Touch Cruise? And if so, try deleting the relationship and starting a new relationship.
This doesn't fix your issue, but could be a potential work around, have you tried syncing to the micro sd card directly?
Thanks for the reply.
Have tried what you suggested, is the same and media player will not recognise the card either.
I found this info on activesync website "If you upgrade to Windows Media Player 10 after you have installed ActiveSync on your desktop PC, you must perform a repair installation of ActiveSync. This enables successful Media Synchronization to a Windows Mobile-based deviceAny ideas on how to do the repairs installation?
Typically a reinstallation will do the trick
Thank you.
I have reinstalled activesync and run the repair as per activesync suggestions.
I did have problems running the repair, keep getting an error message "internal error 2356 avticesync.cab". I uninstalled, rebooted and then reinstalled activesync. I then ran the repair with no errors, thought everything would be OK but still media player will not recognise the hand set?.
It really sounds as though, your issue is more of a windows media player issue than an ActiveSync issue. The fact that Windows Media Player isn't giving you the option to sync with even the SD card when it is plugged solo means that WMP isn't recognizing plugged in devices.
What version of WMP do you have?
If you are using the latest, version 11, what happens if you are on the Sync tab, and you plug in an SD card? Anything at all?
first time i got my g1 it works perfectly i was able to sync songs to it using window media player but then my phone updated and now i connect my phone to sync songs it kept saying connect a device while the phone is already connected pls anyone have any idea whats wrong or how to solve my problem?
After RC29, Android no longer automatically mounts the sdcard as a usb mass storage. When you plug G1 into computer, it will give you a notification. Open the notification and choose mount. Yes you will have to do this every time you connect the G1 from now on.
I have attempted to sync music for two days now with no success. It recognizes the phone in WMP and when I drag the music into the SYNC window it all shows correctly. Even says how much space will be left. After hitting sync it says "sync complete you can disconnect the device now" but nothing happens. Anybody else had the problem and found a solution. Or any ideas?
Did you ever get this to work? I right now am trying to sync my phone to WMP and WMP won't recognize it. I have Windows 7 32bit. The phone gets recognized easily when it put it in Mass Storage mode. When I put it in media mode the PC makes the sound that a USB device was detected, but nothing happens.
I haven't installed any USB drives, but what I see they are for XP and Vista.
Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
Also I am using the Samsung launcher and not any other one when I am doing this, don't know if it matters.
If you are running a launcher other than TW it won't show up as a syncable device in WMP when you connect with media mode. There is a pop up message but its easy to miss.
You need to run launch switcher and make sure you are using TW Launcher and then plug in the USB cable and WMP should see your device.
Hope that helps.

If you are in mass storage mode, once you plug your Captivate into the PC, a notification will appear in the notification bar. Slide down the notifications and press it. This will mount your internal and external SD cards so your PC can see them. Syncing with WMP should work then.
Thanks! I got it working but not sure what I did to make it work, as you will see I did several things:
1) I uninstalled the MGtek Dopisp or whatever that program was that would allow iPods to sync to WMP
2) Then I installed the X86 drives for Samsung phones
3) It TRIED the MTP connection but Windows driver install failed again on the driver when I tried using my phone as a media player.
So I tried it again as a Mass Storage Device and it actually showed up in WMP and I was pleseantly suprised it let me since to either the internal memory or SD card.
Hi guys,
I used to run Android 2.1 on a Samsung Galaxy Captivate and it would sync fine to WMP. I would connect the USB, mount it, and it would sync. I updated to froyo recently and it won't sync under USB mode because it gives me errors. Fine, I thought, I'll sync under Media Player mode. I connect under Media Player Mode and try to sync but get the error C00D1236 in WMP. Nothing syncs and my device just vibrates a lot of times in bursts of three.
I know there's the 16 bit character deletion thing, but I used the checker and don't seem to have any long cache filenames. Can anyone help?
the WMP version is 11.0.5721.5280 in Windows XP if anyone was wondering
Phone: Samsung Omnia 7
OS: Windows 7 SP1
Sync through USB: fast and flawless
Phone connected through AC charger and wireless sync was setup without problem with the zune desktop software.
I am using zunedevices.exe tool to sniff for pings and stuff.
Actually, the phone appears as a network location under "other devices" with the name WindowsPhone:nameIgaveit but it doesn't appear to install any wireless driver (that should install, as far as successful syncs i have been reading about here)
Why do i want this so bad? because zune (music+video app) play counts does not update my zune card on zune.net. And I read somewhere that the device sends the playcounts when its plugged in AC and syncing wirelessly.
Already spent a good chunk of my weekend on this. Some help please?
I had a problem where plays on the device wouldn't have an affect on the play count in my local zune database or the zune social. It didn't work for a while, it started working, I hard reset and it stopped working again.
Anyway, I eventually used the Zune Media Collection Reset Tool and it has worked great since then. It will wipe out your current local playcounts though.
i tried what you suggested but it still doesn't work.
like i said, my phone registers as a upnp device, my computer just doesn't install the drivers for it. which is weird because in the same network but with my laptop, it does and it syncs wirelessly for me. :-s
EDIT: As my suspicion that my problem is caused by a conflict with another program/service grows, i went ahead and re-installed my OS. (i had so many installed programs, it's easier to just wipe completely as i didn't mind really) it works now! although i must say, play counts still does not move forward if i play through the music+video hub in the phone. hmmmmnn...
