How can I get a song to play automatically on a web page ? iWeb 1.1.2

Can I get a song to play automatically when my web page opens? iWeb 1.1.2

As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
Change loop="false" to loop="true"
Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.

I can't get a song to play on the title screen of IDVD. Help! The song is there, but won't play in preview. I have done myriads of movies on IDVD, and know how to put a song onto the title screen. The volume is up, etc. but no song will go on.

Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" How can I get my songs to play?

Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed. When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song. When I select this option I get nothing. The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to. I can't the songs to play however. This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them. Actually, one song is too many. How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

On my itunes there are many songs that will not play due to being purchased under a different email address and password from the one I have now how can i get these songs to play?

I have many songs in my itunes library that were purchased by me that did not convert to my new email address when I moved. How can I get them to play?

You have to use the same old Apple ID and password.
NOTE: All content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

How can I get Amazon songs to play once moved to new pc??

I bought a new laptop and transferred Music file from the old one. Songs that had originated from Amazon won't play, displaying "The song 'XXX' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Responding Yes shows the folder ar-SA within a folder System 32. All of the files within ar-SA end in .dll.mui. How can I get these to play once again? They work fine on old pc, and I did transfer the Amazon folder to the Music folder on new pc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is no fun!

Transferring the Amazon folder would not have moved tracks in iTunes unless you had iTunes set not to copy the tracks to the iTunes folder when imported. If that was indeed the case, then the path name to the Amazon folder containing those tracks probably has changed with the new computer, and you'll either need to change the drive and folder names to match the old path - Get Info on any of the problem tracks and you'll see the old path name - or re-import them into iTuens.

I bought songs on iTunes worth my iPhone, but I paused the download on my phone. Now I can not get the songs to play on my iPhone or re-download to my phone. How do I get them on my phone?

I need help getting the songs onto my phone.

Make sure you have the latest iTunes installed on your computer.
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

I can not use the new Itunes. I have managed to erase my shuffle and can not get any songs from my library onto my ipod shuffle now!!!!!! Tutorials do not help!!!!

Ineed a manual to use the new Itunes. The simple easy to use version is gone. The new version is TOO complicated !!!!!!!

Hello SandyGF
I would check out the following article that will bring back the sidebar that will make iTunes a little more familiar and get you back on track with syncing your iPod Shuffle.

HT201272 Hey I just got an iphone 4S as my 4 was stolen. I synched it and I can see all of my music but I can't get the songs to play... When I hit play it screen starts flipping thru all my music then goes back to main screen. What do I do. Thanks :)

Help! On my new iPhone 4S, I can see all of my music and vidoes that I downloaded from itunes that I had previously purchased on my iPhone 4, BUT I can not play any of the songs! When I hit "play" from my 'albums' and 'playlist' or 'songs' it looks like it is going to play the song when the song screen comes up showing the album but then the screen starts flipping from album to album or song to song randomly. Then after flipping thru anywhere from 10-15 songs, it stops and goes back the previous page showing my list of music.... I have synched my phone, restored it and downloaded all of my music and videos. The only things I can get to play from my iPod on my iPhone 4S is my videos, no music. Can anyone help me? I have been trying to figure it out for days and I am a bit frustrated. Thanks in advance for any help I may receive.

Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
Have you tried each of these?

How can I get my movie to play that I downloaded from my ipad to my pc? It will play the bonus features, scene selection etc but not the movie

I bought some movies from iTunes to put on my ipad. I stored them in icloud and downloaded them to my pc. problem is that although the bonus features etc will play on the pc, the actual movie won't! What should I do??

What happens when you try to play the actual film ? And have you tried deleting them and (assuming that they're still in the store) redownloading them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page - or going into Edit > Preferences and on the Store tab ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box so that they show in the My Movies part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading) ?
(You can't store films in the cloud, whether they will show there for redownloading depends upon what country that you are in - and if you move countries or if the rights-holder removes them then you also won't be able to redownload them. Ideally you'd be taking a backup copy of all of your downloads, and not relying on being able to redownload them in the future.)

Can't get a song to play on ipod

Hi. I have bought a song from iTunes - actually bought it twice thinking it would help the problem. It will play on itunes on my computer but it will NOT play on my ipod. Every time I try to play it on the ipod, it automatically goes to the next song.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on.
Thanks.

Lots of people are having issues with iPod skipping over songs, so it's probably not your iTunes or the song itself. Here are a few things I found to work with fixing this problem, I just hope it works for you too.
1. Delete the song from your library, but keep the song file, and then open the song with iTunes again to add it as a "recently added" song.
2. Right click on the song and click "covert to mp3", and use the newly converted file.
Sometimes you have to combine these two methods. Give them a try and see if it does anything good.

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

No, I haven't figured it out. And no one from Apple has contacted me to help. Very frustrating. Sure makes me want to not buy music on iTunes and just buy CD's.
Do you have a 3GS too? Maybe it's something with that phone??
