when i try to play the music on my mp3 player ( sony walkman ) it says cannot play please connect to compliant software and update license info. i'm not sure how to do this

Take the phone back, if its still under its 1 year warranty. I bought mine last wednesday and had problems with it straight away. Its freezes and switches itself off. I went back to the shop and they told me there was a fault twith the phone and they can just give me a new one.

it might be serious check out with the service centre ........

Sony walkman b135 say boot error after that power

Yes I had the exact same problem with both Norton 2009 and TalkTalk Super Secure Boost. To solve it you need to go to control panel, switch to classic view, scroll down to 'System', in System select the tab 'Hardware', then click on 'Device Manager', then click on WALKMAN NWZ-S639F and go to update driver. This solution has solved this problem for me twice, should solve your problem too, let me know if it does. Thanks

I had the same problem. I had not had any problems for months and suddenly it wouldn't connect. I got on live chat w/ Sony (3 times) and finally got someone who seemed to know what they were doing. I have a Sony computer and they had to send me a link for a USB "patch". After downloading it, it fixed it.

I Have the same problem, but mine has vertical lines running on the display, try contacting sony support

I had a similar problem (my computer uses Windows XP) - Sony Walkman beeps a couple times when I insert the USB Cable that connects it, like it is connecting, but it does not charge or is not found by Windows Media Player. In my case, the way I fixed it was to:
1, Go into Control Panel
2. Double Click 'System' ICON
3. Select Hardware Tab
4. Select Device Manager
5. Select 'View' at the Top
6. 'Devices by Type' AND 'Show Hidden Devices' should be selected
7. 'Scroll down to 'Portable Devices' and open it up.
8. My Sony Walkman was there with and Exclamtion point ( ! ) in a yellow circle,
9. Right Click on this yellow exclamation point.
10, Select 'UNINSTALL'
11. Once the computer says 'Device has been Uninstalled, Disconnect your Walkman's USB cable then reconnect.
12. At this point, my Walkman was recognized by my computer, started charging, and was recognized by Windows Media Player

Hope this helps
