My itunes library has exclamation marks on the whole of my music collection I have to upload my CD's again! does anyone know why and what can I do?
Help, my itunes library has exclamation marks and will not play. Do I have to reload my cd's?
What do you mean by what audio/video formats are involved? These are all files from several digital cameras.
As previously stated, AVI is a file container. It is somewhat old and its originator, Microsoft, dropped official support of it over a decade ago. However, it remains popular with PC users since almost any valid audio and/or video compression format can be stuffed to the file which synchronizes the content by interleaving the individual audio and video frames. The compression format is the specific manner in which the audio and video data are encoded as it is placed in the AVI container. You can find the compression format by inspecting the file in the Finder "Info" window, or in the "Inspector" window of the QT player (or other media player) if the file can be opened.
For instance, one popular compression combination would be to place DivX encoded video and MP3 audio in an AVI file container. However, neither DivX nor MP3 is natively supported by the QT player. (Although iTunes will natively support the MP3 audio.) Therefore, people who wish to play such files in the QT 7 Player would normally install either the DivX component or Perian but not both. Either installation will independently play such files in the QT Player, but if both are installed, the file will usually stop working since these two codecs can create a playback conflict.
However, the AVI container could just as easily contain DV along with DV audio. In this case, the file should play correctly in QT since this compression format is natively supported by the basic component configuration that comes in every current OS installation. Therefore, if such files suddenly stopped playing, this could be an indication that a component has been moved or deleted or that your system or QT embedded structure has become corrupted.

Hi i have avi files saved in iphoto that i used to be able to play through quicktime. However in the last few weeks i cannot play many of these files. I can see the videos and click on them but nothing happens (i have version 7.6.9 of quicktime). Does anyone know why this has happened and what i can do about this?

Hello there, RJ Quick.
I've located the following Knowledge Base article that might be the information you're looking for:

The following section may be of help:
Change where imported files are stored
Choose iTunes > Preferences and click Advanced.
Click Change and select a new location for your files.From now on, new songs and other items you import will be stored in the new location. Songs you’ve already imported stay in their current location.To go back to storing imported files in the iTunes folder, choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and click Reset.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Hi
I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
Thank you,
SanyaCan you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?

Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books. -
On my IPad 2 home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new messages with a number in a red circle, next to the app. This has vanished, I think about the same time as when I upgraded to the new OS. Does anyone know why and how to restore this feature?
Thanks. While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
it out. Appreciate the quick response! -
I don't see the AirPlay button on the bottom right of my iTunes (v 10.6.3) window. Does anyone know why and how I can set it up? Thanks!
You do not have to have an Apple TV, but you should have an AirPlay capable speaker on your network.

Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion, sometimes a gray bar appears under the Apple that begins to shade to dark as it loads OS? It does this on occasion. One time the system loaded was VERY slow and terrible colors. Pulled the plug, re-started the computer and it did not do this. As I say, its only on occasion, not every time. I noticed in the discussion page there were problems listed for 10.6 nothing for Lion.
Please advise, if possible.You should see this 4 option menu. Click on Disk Utility:
In Disk Utility, Select FIRST AID and then VERIFY and then REPAIR the disk.

I created some ringtones and managed to get them into the tones section of my library on itunes. I can see and play them. However, when I try to drag and drop them into the tones library on my iphone it will let me drag them but not drop them in. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help
Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

Another question: does anyone know how audio linked to the glossary terms can be easily repeated? Currently, it's not possible to click on the term a second time to repeat the audio - I have to click another term, then return to the one I want to repeat (audio)
Message was edited by: Susan MartinUnfortunately Susan this appears to be a limitation of the standard Glossary widget. I have a client that wanted the exact same feature, click the term and hear the word again. I had considered using other Glossary widgets that are available but all of them seem to have one short coming or another. One option I considered was creating a small flash app/button (play audio) that contained the audio file and could be placed in the description like an image but this became to cumbersome for the number of terms we had to use and opened up all other issues and I can't even remember if importing a flash element is a feature of the standard Glossary or and third party.
I hope that someone else has some other insights for you. -
Hi My battery on my macbook pro keeps running low on power very quickly and I have to keep recharging it. This has never happened before. I have used all the power saver options, but it keeps happening. Can anyone help. The battery seems to be losing power even when it is turned off.
Hi BigThinker,
How old is your Mac? If it is an older one, then the battery may just be dying. You can check by clicking on the Apple in the upper left-hand corner, then clicking on About This Mac>More Info>System Report, then click on Power (about half way down the list). At the top of the resulting display, you should see the following type of info:
The Health Information will tell you if your battery is going to need replacement soon. If it says Normal, then it is not the battery.

Does anyone Know why and AICC published file don´t display in the LMS?
I have published a file as an AICC file and got the URL added into an LMS, (Sumtotal), when I try to launch the content the LMS window keeps saying Loading, however; when I click the URL link from my browser the content displays with no problem.
I have been reviewing what might be the problem because I used to create content with Captivate 4 and I had no problem.
Can anyone answer some questions I have:
With the change to Captivate 5, a newer version of Flash is required?
Is the file trying to call the Adobe website or may call items not on the domain we have permissions to (internally) access? if so can you provide what the domains are?
I appreciate any help you can provide.
ThanksWe have encountered this issue as well, not just with Captivate 4 but with Adobe Presenter 7.0.7 as well.
With Captivate 4, we have found that content published as AS3 and AICC will hang on the 'Initializing LMS...' page when launched from our SumTotal LMS (TotalLMS v8.2) if that content is located on a remote content server. It will, however, launch properly and track correctly when the content is installed on a content server that is on the same domain as (and thus local to) the LMS itself.
With Presenter 7.0.7 (which only publishes to AS3--there is no option for AS2), we have found that content published as AICC will take an excessive amount of time to load when launched from our SumTotal LMS and will not track correctly if that content is located on a remote content server. It will, however, launch properly and track correctly when the content is installed on a content server that is on the same domain as the LMS itself.
So, a common theme here is AS3. We did try publishing a C4 test sample to different Flash Player versions as AS2, and it appears there is no issue there. It's when we publish to AS3 as AICC and install on a remote content server that issues start cropping up.
My gut is telling me that this is a crossdomain policy issue. Would love for Adobe to investigate and offer a solution soon.

Lots of music purchased from iTunes suddenly has exclamation marks
I turned on my Mac this morning and found that lots of my music - stuff that was purchased from iTunes - suddenly has exclamation marks next to it and I get a message saying that the file cannot be found.
Since I have Match, surely the system should find the music in the cloud and simply use that to replace the missing files?
I don't know why they have gone missing - no files have been changed and they were working just fine when I shut the machine down last night.Hi
No it's on one of the internal HDDs in my Mac Pro and seems only to affect random tunes.
The only way I can find to work around it so far is to delete the tracks from the Mac and re-downoad them from the Cloud.
Seems very odd and is very irritating.Would be quite useful if I could simply do what do with my iPhone - access the music from the cloud rather than locally.
Mind you I still have two tracks from a Led Zeppelin CD of mine that were in the library when I turned Match on and are still listed as 'waiting' and greyed out 7 months later...!
