Audiobook playback with 1.3

I downloaded an audiobook yesterday and was playing fine. 1.3 iPod software was installed this morning and now I cannot play same audiobook. All other functions are working. When audiobook is selected it displays the now playing screen with the book info briefly before reverting to the main menu screen. I have reset the iPod (nano) and problem continues.
Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions? Is this an issue with 1.3 upgrade or does this occur on older versions as well?
Thanks!

Well, playing around with my iPod I think that I answered my own questions ><. The problem applies to all music purchased via the iTunes Music Store and I see there are already other threads about this issue. I will re-set my iPod when I get home from work.

I keep getting "This content requires HDCP for playback" with my new Apple TV 3.

I keep getting "This content requires HDCP for playback" with my new Apple TV 3. I've returned one and got a new one. I've turned everything on and off. I've upgraded my bandwith. I've tried using different HDMI ports. Nothing is working.
Sometimes a movie will start to play for about 3-5 seconds and then freeze. My music plays fine as well as other videos that are not HD.
This has been going on for 3 weeks now and Apple Support and Genius Bar couldn't help.
Would appreciate any other solutions folks came up with.
Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try to get a new HDMI cable, but that ****** me off since I bought the one I had from Apple thinking I'd avoid any issues like this.
I've also never had a movie play and have also tried Reset.
Since the movie starts to play for a few seconds, I'm assuming it is not my TV.
Thanks!

Problem with video playback with iTunes

Several problems :
Problem with video playback with iTunes -
Since about a week, When I launch a video, it takes a long time to get started, then only the sound starts with no pictures - If I press pause then play the video is played normally. Did anyone face or heard about same kind of issue .
Problem with permission disk errors
After re-installing White Tiger and After I installed the last OSX 10.6.5 update
I found the following problem
Group differs on "Applications / Utilities / AirPort Utility.app / Contents / Resources / wanArrow.png", should be 0 instead of 80.
Last but not least :
My computer seems slow - I have 60gig free on My hard drive and I test my hard drive and everything seems all good .

What was the fix for this? Everything has sucked for my itunes video playback since the last major revision release.

Why the extremely poor sound quality in playback with itunes?

I am having problems with the sound quality of itunes music. this applies to both downloads and cd's. This problem is new, I believe, and affects bluetooth speaker, earphones, and macbook pro internal speaker. All have extremely poor playback with itunes. This Problem does not happen with playback of youtube videos.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

I would be worth playing some tracks with Quicktime so see what the quality is like there.
iTunes uses Quicktime to play music.

I am experiencing choppy playback with converted .flv video file?

I have just reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro and then installed CS4. I have updated the suite and tried converting my first .avi file. I was told in a previous post that I should not use K-lite Codec pack with Pr Pro, so I tried using the Adobe Media Encoder included in the CS4 package. It took the media encoder a better part of an hour to covert Beerfest from an .avi file to a .flv file. I was hoping this would allow for a better quality playback, Unfortunately it did not work. During playback with no edits or cuts of any kind, I still experience huge sync problems with the audio and the video. I heard there is a way to use you GPU to accelerate the speed of Pr. Can someone please help me configure my system if that is possible?
Should I use a third party encoder or codec? IF so which one? Is there a general setup guide or tutorial that I can review so I can make sure all my settings are correct, for playing and editing .avi files? Once I import an .avi file into a sequence, is there something more I should do before I begin to edit and playback?
If anyone could help me get started I would be very appreciative.
My System
AMD Anthlon 64 X2
6400 3.2 GHZ (OverClocked to 3.42Ghz)
8GB G-skill SDRAM (3.25GB recognized by XP Pro)c
Nividia 8800GT Video Card
OS Windows XP Pro SP3

I was told in a previous post that I should not use K-lite Codec pack with Pr Pro
This was good advice. K-Lite, though one of the more benign CODEC "packs," has still caused many users all sorts of grief.
Along with the answer to Jeff's question, please let us know the complete specs. on your Export. It could be something simple there.
Good luck,

Audiobook playback problem on iPod

Hi,
Does anyone know how to make the iPod automatically play all sections of an audiobook?
The way mine is working, when it finishes a section, it stops playing and goes to the top level menu. That wouldn't be so bad if the sections were 4 hours long, but most of them are less than 5 minutes.
This isn't a new problem, my clickwheel/dockable iPod has always worked this way, and the workaround I've been using is to have a smart playlist on the iPod, but I'm hoping there's an actual fix!
Any suggestions on how to make audiobook playback on the iPod work properly?
Thanks!

I've found a workaround for this problem: the Join Together v5.1 iTunes script from Doug's AppleScripts combine the segments into two large AAC files.
Now it's OK if the iPod stops playing segments after they finish because they're hours long instead of minutes.

Slow motion recording and playback with Flash Player with web browers

Hi,
I am using a MacBook, have installed Flash Player 10, and everything was great until a couple of days ago. Then, my audio playback with Flash seems to be in slow motion. I record my voice in this program call Voicethread using either Safari or Firefox and what it should be a 3 seconf audio track seems to be elongated to 9, streching my voice like it is on slow motion. I have tried everything that it is recommended (restaring, uninstallins, reinstalling, etc) and NOTHING... I have spent hours already trying to fix this issue that came from nowhere... 36 hours ago was working just perfectly!
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Luis

Adobe Flash Player has also been crashing periodically on 2 of my computers, I'm still running XP, one of them a powerful HTPC, Dell Optiplex 755 SFF over a new Cable Internet Connection. Buffering, Lagging, crashing when streaming video for Catchup TV (Freeview) via Firefox Adobe Flash Player Add-On, does not happen on Youtube though. Lagging & Crashing does NOT occur AT ALL in Google Chrome, but I hate that browser.
Have tried the usual disabling Flash Hardware Acceleration + Protected Mode, setting storage to Unlimited, disabling FF Ad Blockers + Hardware Acceleration, cleaning Caches, updating program versions, everything bar reinstalling programs. It's not happening in Chrome, why in Firefox?

Did Apple Break HD-DVD Playback with Mountain Lion using Apple DVD Player?

First of all, kindly spare me the commentary about Blu-Ray beating HD-DVD. Agreed and not the question. I have perfectly good reasons for using HD-DVD and it works very well for my purposes.
I authored an HD-DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2. as I have done many times before on Snow Leopard, but this time on Mountain Lion. When I try to play the HD-DVD, either from the physical disk from a disk image, the menu appears, but when the play button is pressed, the menu stays on screen, but the player shows the timecode of the movie playing, but with no sound or picture.
Thinking that perhaps the menu got corrupted, I put the same HD-DVD into a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, and it played perfectly! Conclusion: Not a DVD Studio Pro problem.
Thinking that it might be DVD Player, I copied DVD Player 5.4 from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro to the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro (which was running DVD Player 5.6), and the HD-DVD still had the same issue on the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro, under either of the DVD Player versions. Conclusion: Not a DVD Player issue.
The HD-DVD does mount and initialize, so it's not a hardware issue with the optical drive.
Conclusion: It would appear to me that it's an OS issue with Mountain Lion breaking (either intentionally or unintentionally), HD-DVD playback. Anyone know anything more about this issue? Anyone else saddened to see Apple turn into Microsoft circa 2005, and the MacOS turn into Vista? I haven't seen much of anything about it in the forums, which is why I'm posting it here.
Thanks Apple. I just spent the better part of 3 days transcoding and authoring this HD-DVD, only to have you screw it up for me 2 days before my film festival (the perfectly good reason for using HD-DVD). Kindly spare me the, "Why don't you encode a ProRes blah blah blah quicktime movie." Heard it all before.
I knew I would regret upgrading to Mountain Lion, and I do more and more each and every day as I continually find more things that it broke. Yet another reason to add to my list for downgrading to Snow Leopard. I'm up to about 30 of them. Or to abandon Final Cut for Adobe products.
Thanks and sorry for the rant, but I'm justifiably frustrated.

Update: The Apple Store in Nashua, New Hampshire replicated the issue on their own hardware, so yes, Apple did break HD-DVD playback with Mountain Lion (it does still work in Lion, they discovered). The Apple Store reported the issue to engineering, but the more people that report the issue, the more likely Apple will do something about it. Thanks Apple.

IPod audiobook playback problem

Hi guys, I have a white 30GB 5th generation iPod that i've had for a while, apart from a problem with the headphone jack which i can cope with, when playing audiobooks, in particular 'harry potter and the...' if I pause the playback and come back to the audiobook later the iPod often restarts the audiobook at the beginning after a random time interval, it also occasionally sets right back to the main menu screen (Music, Video, Extras etc...). I'm wondering if this is a software bug or another hardware issue.

I've found a workaround for this problem: the Join Together v5.1 iTunes script from Doug's AppleScripts combine the segments into two large AAC files.
Now it's OK if the iPod stops playing segments after they finish because they're hours long instead of minutes.

Echo on audiobook playback

my iphone (orig) is playing all audiobooks with an echo. tunes play OK. using 3.1.3. this is a recent problem that i think emerged after loading 3.1.2.
i checked the playback of the books on the Mac and the sound is fine.
any ideas?
thanks

Check the speed the audiobook is playing, looking at the on screen icon to the right and under the slider bar.
Sometimes slow speed, sounds a bit echo'ey.

Audiobook playback suggestion

My main app for my nano is to listen to audiobooks. They playback great but would like an added feature that I don't believe is on the unit. When I used to play cassettes, my player would automatically rewind 30 secs each time I reinserted the cassette to re-play a bit of the book to help me pick up from where I left off. That would be a cool feature on iPod/nano etc. The ability to set an autobackup feature when restarting a book you had been listening to with the ability to select 15s, 30s, 45s, 1 min, 2 min as the preset autoback time.
Does that feature exist?
How the heck do I get that suggestion to Apple folks. There web site appears immune to such feedback.
Thanx.

i hate to be dim. i had been to that page a couple of times but when i got down to the lower left and it said WEBSITE FEEDBACK I neglected to read carefully since I didn't expect product feedback to fall in that category. thank you.
And yes I do know about the next/previous button but that is not nearly as useful for me as the suggestion about being able to set an auto backup on start feature.

Audiobook playback position sync to iPhone

I've been listening to audiobooks via my iPhone, and I just purchased a little nano to use while exercising. I synced my iPhone to iTunes to get the latest playback position for my audiobook, then synced my new nano to iTunes and added the audiobook, which started playing at the proper position. Nice.
I finished my exercise, synced my nano, and iTunes now has the updated position (I played the book in iTunes to be sure). Then I synced my iPhone to get the latest position on that unit, and it didn't work. It was still way back where it was. Not nice.
How do I get the iPhone to pick up the new playback position of my audiobook?
Mac OS 10.7.2
iTunes 10.5.1
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

So I was having the hardest time getting my audible books onto my iPhone and iPad with iTunes 11 and iOS 7. I dragged them into a play list and synced them, but when I looked on the iPhone they did not import.
So what I did to get it to work was to chose the book (Highlight) I wanted to import, then get the information (command + I), then choose Options tab, then change the Media Kind from Audiobook to Music.
Then sync again and it will import to the device.

Post 2.1 - Audiobook Playback Corruption

Since updating to 2.1, I'v had multiple instances of my audiobooks suddenly giving garbled playback. There doesn't seem to be a pattern for how long I can play before getting the garbled playback. I'll be listening to an audiobook and then it will start to sound like a cassette deck eating a tape. If I stop playback and try to begin again it begins in the garbled state. If I power off/on my iPhone, I am able to begin playback and listen to my audiobook but eventually it becomes garbled again. This was not a problem prior to 2.1.

Unless you have a compelling reason to use Type 3, Audible's Type 4 format sounds noticeably better than Type 3. (The main compelling reason is disk space, or capacity on your iPod, but there are ways to manage that: http://aldoblog.com/audiobooks/itunes/managing-audiobooks-on-a-small-capacity-ip od/) Couple the audio quality improvement with fixing the playback problem with the iPhone/iPod Touch 2.1 firmware, and it's a no-brainer.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
<Edited by Moderator>
Of course, if you have a lot of Audible audiobooks, re-downloading them is going to take some time. But it's not too much work. One trick you might not know about, if you go to Audible.com, and go to My Library, you can click the Edit Devices link, just above the list of titles, and modify your device preferences. If you choose Type 4 as the preferred format for your device, all of the download links in your library will change to download that format. Much easier than changing the format for each item one by one.

Choppy video playback with FCP 6 and 5D footage already converted to Aplle ProRes 422

I am trying to edit a film I shot on the Canon 5D using FCP 6. I converted my raw files from the Canon 5D to Apple ProRes (HQ) .
But as I try to work on the timeline everything is super choppy and drops frames constantly. I am trying to sync audio as well and it's been impossible since the video in not playing properly.
I have read many post and did everything you say to do, but no luck.
I have chosen the unlimited RT and still dosent wanna play right.
I'm editing off a 1TB G-RAID drive. It currently has 200GB left of free space, so that shouldn't slow things down. My computer has a 500GB Internal Hard Drive and I currently have 250GB of internal free space. Here are the specification of my computer:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          Mac Pro
Model Identifier:          MacPro3,1
Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          3.2 GHz
Number Of Processors:          2
Total Number Of Cores:          8
L2 Cache (per processor):          12 MB
Memory:          18 GB
Bus Speed:          1.6 GHz
THis should be a powerful computer, at least thats what I tough when i got it. There has to be a solution to my frustration..please help!!!

You could have a problem with your external drive. Run diskutility: diskrepair and diskwarrior (if you've got it) on it Is it formatted macosextended?   You might run a drive speed test and see if the drive is running up to spec.
Try copying one file to your internal drive and see if that plays any better.
Have you tried deleting your fcp preferences? (get preference manager from www.digitalrebellion.com)
Are you just monitoring the video on the computer screen?
You might try resetting your window arrangement in fcp; window: arrange: standard and see if that makes a difference.
Is playback uneven on both viewer and canvas in fcp?
I'd go out and buy a 7200 Sata drive and install it internally and try playing off of that. MacPro's have 4 internal drive bays and it's extremely easy to install another drive.
