Pacman not updating and installing

Hi,
my when i try to run pacman -S mplayer or -Sy mplayer, it says:  error: 'mplayer': not found in sync db . It says the same for every package i try to install/update.
Before that i tried pacman -Sc to delete the packages which werent installed.
Anybody can help me?

pacman -Syy should update the sync db.

Try changing to another mirror and pacman -Syy again.
