Audiobook will not play!

Audiobook from iTunes Store will not play with itunes, quicktimeplayer or iphone. The time count down, but i can't hear anything. What should i do?

Make a playlist for the Audiobook and play it from there. The playlist should move from one track/chapter straight to the next one. I even make mine smart playlists (album name=x, playcount=0). That way, when I've listened to a track/chapter, it drops off of my smart playlist. When I come back to the playlist later, I know that i can always start at the top.

Help! Audiobook will not play on iPhone 4s

I just purchased an audiobook in iTunes on my phone. I've been able to find the book on my phone but it will not play. When I click on the 1st track to start the book it just jumps to the next one and then back to the main screen without doing anything else. I have also synced the phone with my computer. It will play on my laptop but NOT MY PHONE.
This whole thing is just ridiculous. If I pay for something I want to be able to use it. Is there a way to fix this problem or to get a refund?
thanks

The first thing I would try is resetting the iPhone. Hold the home and power buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If that solves the problem, great. If not, the second thing I would try is re-synching the iPhone 5 using iTunes.

Audiobook will not play continously

Hi, I am working on Windows Xp, with a Ipod classic and Itunes 8.1.1.10. I have bought an audiobook. It is mp3 but I converted it to be a ipod audiobook (4mb)
It shows in the Audiobook menu and it plays. But when first chapter is finished it goes back to the menu and I have to manually choose Audiobook and then chapter 2.
What settings am I missing?

MP3s flagged as Audiobook do not play in iOS5

Just upgraded to iOS5, now any MP3 that I have changed the media type to be an audiobook will not play. When I try to play it just goes through all the files on the album and skips through them then dumps me back at the selection screen.
If I change that MP3 to be music, it works fine.
Change it back, it will play once, then never play again.
Anyone else experience this?

I found out the issue isn't with it being tagged as Audiobook but rather it's iTunes that is causing the problem (or maybe how iTunes is tagging them) since when I deleted them on my iPod and used a third party program called "CopyTrans Suite" and it's freeware app that is similar to iTunes Audiobooks worked flawlessly again in iOS 5.
It must be the current version of that program since iOS 5 changed a lot of things and causes older versions to report an error on iPods (when there is nothing actually wrong) and is worth using until iTunes is fixed. (10.5.2 is garbage atm)
You can download this program here: (other apps in suite are trial, but the freeware iTunes like one is all you need)

Worked flawlessly for me so far, and no re-encoding or anything ether. Hope it helps others.

I downloaded audiobook from iTunes. It comes in 2 parts. Part one will not play, only part 2. When I tried to sync to ipod or iphone it prompted,"file could not be reaf from or written to".Can I fix this issue?

I just purchased and downloaded an audiobook from iTunes. I tried to sync it to iPhone 4 and iPod Classic but with both devices got a message"file could not be read from to written to". Then I tried to play the audiobook in iTunes and realized that only part 2 of my 2 part download will play. Part 1 will not play. Is this why I got the message? Is there any way to get another try at downloading my audiobook I just paid $15 for??

Click the Shuffle button at bottom left of iTunes window so the crossed arrows are not blue.

Iphone 4 will not play audiobook purchased in itunes. Any ideas

Purchased an audiobook on itunes. It worked well until I got to about chapter 7 of 10. Now it will not play on my device. It will appear on the screen as if it is playing, but no sound comes out whether I am using earbuds or the built in speaker. I don't think it is the media itself because I can locate it in my computer and double click it to play it, and itunes will come up and it will begin to play. Have not tried it on any of my other devices yet.

Same exact problem- a $44 book!

Iphone 4 will not play audiobook even though it did before

I have many audiobooks that I have been playing on my I phone 4 for awhile. Now certain of them will not play. One of them I was in the middle of listening to and when I went back and tried to continue it would not play regardless of which button i push.
I purchased these from Amazon/Audible.
Help.

ITunes v 1.1.1.5 makes m4b files = 0:00 and will not play. iPod update same

updated iTunes makes m4b (homemade audiobooks) show 0:00 time -- even though file size shows old size -- and files will not play. Immediate past version of iTunes showed at 0:00 but would play. updated iPod will not play pre update present m4b audiobooks.
Any ideas on how to correct? More discussion here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=905543&tstart=0
Hate to post in both places, but relevance is in both forums.
How does one revert to prior versions of iTunes, QuickTime, and iPod -- assuming the latter two also need to revert. Do they?
Have found the following:
uninstall: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Old versions:

http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm
http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=itunes
http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=quicktime
any clues, hints, warnings, etc., before I go thru downgrades?

Problem identified: SoundTaxi files created prior to v 2.2.7 will not play in iTunes v1.1.1.5.
There is a workaround for old files and dicussion here:

and SoundTaxi support says upgrading to v 2.2.7 fixes the problem and that old license code will work.

One of my audio books will not play. My music plays. And my other audio book plays. When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing. I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning.

One of my audio books will not play. My music plays. And my other audio book plays. When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing. I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning, and still does play. How do you report a problem with a mandatory apple app?

Audiobooks purchased from Audible.com. They play on iTunes on my computer. They have been playing on my iPod Classic until two days ago. I'm in the middle of two books and now one does not keep track of where I am and the other does not play. I also have other books not playing on the iPod that use to play. They all play on iTunes on my computer.

Firefox for Android will not play mp3

Hi! Why does Firefox for Android will not play mp3? For example the tracks on this page do not play http://audiobook-online.com/?page_id=33 . Firefox for windows plays mp3.
Alexander

Hello,
I've just tested and the mp3s on that page work fine for me. When I first visited the site I see a prompt at the top of the screen: "This page contains plugin content. Would you like to enable plugins".
I clicked Activate and the audio played fine.
If the pop-up doesn't appear then you can try enabling plugins across all pages. See here:
[[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?|Play Flash Content Without Tapping]]
But be aware that there are security implications with this option. It is safer to keep flash as tap-to-play. There is more information on this in the article.
I hope that helps.

I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

MP3 Music will not play after upgrade to ios 5

I upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 5 yesterday.... Great!
But now when I want to listen to my MP3 from the new "Music" app, the MP3 gets stuck and will not play.
I have audiobooks and videos too and both plays ok with good sound and pictures.
Can anyone help?
TQ

I fixed it by deleting the MP3 and re-loaded / re-sync it back.
It took over 2 hrs as I had over 1000 Mp3.

Voice memos will not play

The voice memos appear to have been recorded on my I-pod Touch as it list the date and length of the recording, but it will not play or sync the voice recording.

When you record a VM, does the VUY meter show the level?
What happens when you try to play the VM? Does it appear to play but with no sound?
Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod?

Voice Memos will not play through Home Sharing on other devices.

I have synced my voice memos to my Apple library on my Mac Mini and can listen to them on that device with no problem. However, when I use my iPad or MacBook or Air to play the memos using my Home Sharing the voice memos will not play on the device. Sometimes a random song will start instead of the voice memo. I can play videos and music through Home Sharing with no problems, it seems to be only the voice memos that won't stream to the connected devices. Any help would be great (using Yosemite on devices).

I'm running 4.3.3 on mine and just played Joe Ely's latest album on my 1st generation Zeppelin. I do get the message about it not being compatible and possible noise but I dismiss that and play the music.
You may need to reset your Zeppelin (disconnect it from power, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in), Reset you iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttones) or do both.
You may also need to update the firmware on your Zeppelin if you have not done so before now.

After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes will not play video

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 but since i have my iTunes will not play video i previously downloaded from the iTunes store. The video will play in QuickTime without issue though, please help

sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem... make any sense? do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution? i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.
