Windows Media Player and iTunes sync

heyjudewisconsi

When I plug the USB from the Droid X to my PC I get a message on the PC that the device was not detected.  I can hit cancel and the Droid X show up on the next screen.  And an automatic sync starts.

 

My problem is 2-fold.  First, what do I need to do to have my PC "find" the X?

 

And next might be more of an iTunes question.  Only a few of my podcasts are actually sync'ing over to the X.  I have tons of music, and none of that is being recognized by Media Player.

 

I'm a real newbie at this.  Thanks for any help!!
