first time sync on Andriod pixel 4a to windows 10 Ver 5
I have just installed version 5 onto my windows 10 PC and installed on my android phone. The directions do not seem to match the screens on how to do a sync. I'd prefer to do a usb sync or perhaps wireless on demand but can't get it to sync at all. The button does not work to click on it like it is not active. Please help me!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Instructions are: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... Tracks/5.0
Make sure your device is connected to your PC via USB and recognized by both Windows and MediaMonkey as connected (device needs to be in MTP mode for USB connections).

Re: first time sync on Andriod pixel 4a to windows 10 Ver 5
Thank you for the info and links but I'm still stuck. I have my library on my PC in Media Monkey and have installed it on my android phone. I guess they are supposed to sync when I plug it in and it is not. I see the device listed in Media Monkey and I see it in the windows explorer. What am I doing wrong? I am not getting any errors, just nothing happens.
Thank you!
Thank you!

No, MediaMonkey doesn't Sync by just plugging in the device. You first need to setup the Device Profile, which includes selecting what should be Synced: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... Tracks/5.0
Once you've selected what should be Synced (you can also change how, but that's not needed) you can start Sync from the Device Profile in MediaMonkey 5 while the device is plugged in (or wifi Sync in MMA).
Note that you can enable to Auto-Sync when the device is plugged in, but this is not enabled by default, nor is anything selected by default to be Synced.

Re: first time sync on Andriod pixel 4a to windows 10 Ver 5
I did set that stuff up.
I set up each screen on my PC as follows:
under summary: all options are checked.
Scan as soon as the device is connected
Auto-sync as soon as device is connected
automatically unmout after auto sync
Sync List says Music and playlists. I have music in my Media Monkey on my PC.
Syn List (Device-Library)
Music is checked.
at the bottom? show confirmation dialog is checked and auto sync file metadata is checked.
sync proifle I made no changes.
I have music in Media Monkey on my PC, but not on my phone version. There is music on my phone but Monkey did not find it. I just want to have phone and PC sync so they are the same with all my music and playlists. I have no trouble paying for software but need to know it works first.
Thank you!

Did you try the Sync button at the bottom? Does that do anything?

I'm assuming you mean the sync button on my phone. When I do that it says searcing for sync server and finds nothing. Eventaully it just stops searching and goes back to the main screen.

No, in the Device Profile in MediaMonkey 5.

You mean on phone or pc? Where exactly do I go for that?
Re: first time sync on Andriod pixel 4a to windows 10 Ver 5
MediaMonkey 5 is on the PC, MMA (MediaMonkey for Android) is on the phone. So in this case in the Device Profile in MediaMonkey 5 on your PC you can use the Sync Now button to start the Sync: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... uto-Sync_2

Ok, I found the button. MM lists my phone but says disconnected, even though its plugged in.
I appreciate your help!!

Does Windows (Windows Explorer) see the device? Please also see: https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/kno ... ync-fails/

Are Playlists selected in the Sync List?

Re: first time sync on Andriod pixel 4a to windows 10 Ver 5
yes they are. It seems to have synced videos from my pc to my phone. I did not have that checked!
Any advice on what I could be doing wrong with playlists?
