Today I was wanting to transfer my music from my Windows Media Player to my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (GT-18160) Android smartphone.
Yet after connecting my smartphone via USB Cable to my PC; it wasn't recognising it as a device. It was recognising it as a camera and I was able to view the files within Windows Explorer so it wasn't a connection problem. However the device would not show within Windows Media Player (version 11 in my case on a 32 bit Windows XP system).
After Googling around I discovered majority of people are having similar problems.
The fix for most cases is you have to install Samsung's software called "Kies". Also install the codec option - really important bit!
After a reboot and connecting my device this time around Windows Explorer recognised the device fully AND Windows Media Player also found the device.
I was then able to sync my music from within Windows Media Player library (see here for aid on syncing your music with Windows Media Player).
OTHER FIXES:
- You need to make sure you have Windows XP SP2 or above!
- You need to make sure you have Windows Media Player 10 or above! Get the latest version here.
