Can't get .wav file to play on my iPhone

Would anyone know how to fix my iPhone, so when i get a voice email message (voice-message.wav)It says "This movie could not be played" it is not a movie it is a .wav file in Quicktime??
thanks

As far as I am aware, iPhone will support MPEG -4 video, MP3 and AAC audio formats.
I have had voicemail messages, though not through email, all played fine on my iPhone.

Is there any way to get .wav files to play on iOS devices?

Is there any way to get .wav files to play on iOS devices? I know some apps can play .wav however I was looking to have safari load a suitable player as needed, but it shows a audio file with a line across it... and does not play the file. Any workaround? Thanks,
Fabio

Hi James,
That is very helpful, thanks. However, that ends up presenting two other problems...
Initially, the original .wav file has to be downloaded somewhere, how does one download a file from Safari to the phone and then open the file with the app? Is there any way to configure iOS to always use an app for a particular file type? How does iOS handle file types? Do you know why safari does not allow add-ons? Can I configure another app as the 'default' browser?
Once again, thanks for pointing this out.
Best wishes

How do I get WAV files to play in Outlook Web app?

I have a player that will play WAV files, but when I select and hold the .wav file in a mail message, the option to "Open In.." doesn't show up and the file won't play. I'm using an iPad 2 with the latest iOS and latest Safari. When I try to play the attached file, the iPad brings up a black screen with the play button in the middle with the international NO sign ( circle with diagonal line) through it.

I tried the Microsoft TechNet support for help but their site is completely incompatible with Safari on an iPad. You can get a Windows Live ID and navigate to the forums page on TechNet but all of the forum links pull up blank white pages on the iPad. The whole experience on the MS support site is horrible on an iPad. You'd think with over 60 million iPads out there they'd do a little testing on an iPad.
So I'm looking for help from my fellow Mac/iPad users

I can't get my music to play on my IPhone 5.

I can't get music to play on my IPhone 5.
There seems to be a song stuck downloading "processing"
I tried to delete the download, but when I right swipe on it the delete symbol doesn't appear.

How do I fix this?
If the tune is a MP3 then there is an issue with Safari. Convert the tune to AAC.
How do I go about making this happen

How can I get certain music to play on my iPhone 4S?

I have transferred about 15 songs from an old mp3 player over to iTunes, but it comes up as unplayable on the iPhone. The songs appear in my music, but are colored gray and I cannot open them on my iPhone. I am able to open them and play them on my computer, but they won't play on the iPhone even after I sync it. Help??

The Airplay icon only appears if there's an Airplay enabled device that the iPhone or iPad can find in the same network, or connected via bluetooth.
How are you attempting to use Airplay?

Can't get swf. file to play in dreamweaver

Hello,
Trying to put video into dreamweaver. I created swf file in flash. Can't seem to get it play when i import the file to html page.
What files need to be in the Dreamweaver folder? HTML, Skin, swf? thanks for any help. Owen

When you create the file in Flash, it is usually best to also have it publish an html page. Copy the embedding code that Flash creates in the html file and paste it into your intended html file. The Flash code may also be reliant on including a .js file, which it will also create, so that needs to be placed in the site folder. The header of the Flash html may include a script link to this js file, so you need to copy/paste that in the intended html page as well.

Can't get QT files to play in iWeb webpages any more...??

drag a QT file onto a blank webpage, upload it, that's all I've had to do now for years. All of a sudden, that doesn't work anymore. Now the webpage plays back only the QT logo....

Phew - thank you Sonicray! That worked.
Quicktimekirk, thanks for the idea, although I'd checked the preferences. I do have 'Play movies automatically' checked under the Browser tab , but that probably applies only to downloaded movies. There's no 'General' tab. The tabs are Register, Browser, Update, Streaming and Advanced. Anyway, it doesn't matter now that I know how to start them by double-clicking.
Thanks heaps guys!

Can't get video podcasts to play on my Iphone

When I download them, they display properly in ITunes in the little video window. However, when I try playing them from my Iphone, I get audio only. What gives? Thanks for any help!
- robjohn

This is an area where the iPhone does not work like the iPod with Video.
In my case, I create a series of playlists called "Podcasts 1 Day Ago", "Podcasts 2 Days Ago", etc. so I can sort through them in order that I added them. On the iPod, going in to Playlists-> will just play the audio for the videos in that list, but going in through Movies->Video Playlists will play audio and switch on video when it hits a video podcast. Works great.
On iPhone, this does not work. It ignores video items in the playlist, but if you manually allow the specified podcasts to sync they will show up under video. So you have to do it in multiple places, and can't just rely on a playlist like the iPod does.
Maybe version 1.1?

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'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)

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.

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

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.

Stumped! Can't Get Some Audio To Play.

I have some files that I converted with Visual Hub and I used their Apple TV 5.1 encoding. I have my Apple TV hooked up to my TV through HDMI. I recently moved and now no mater what I can't get the audio to play for those files. I have audio when I go through the menus and if I listen to music or podcasts. But these files that have DD 5.1 all of a sudden don't play. I've tried everything I could think of. Can anyone help?

Same TV?
t
Not all process DD5.1, but if they don't there's often a second stereo rack in files which will play.
Is DD out enabled in settings on AppleTV?
AC
