Cannot play downloaded audiobook

Randomly when I download an audiobook from the iTunes store and have it on my iPod, it will show up on the menu and when I want to play it, it will show for 1 - 2 seconds, go to the next and keep skipping past this book to the next selection. I can I prevent or cure this?

See if anything here helps.

I cannot play my audiobooks on my Iphone

For some reason, I can no longer play my audiobooks? I have several and went to listen today, and cannot hear them. My songs play fine. I have synced my phone to my ITunes and downloaded all purchases. All my purchased songs transferred to my computer, but none of my audiobooks did. Should they have transferred also? Why can I not hear them?

That lock is the screen orientation, I believe. Has nothing to do with Wi-Fi.
Wheny ou say you can't turn on Wi-FI, do you mean it is 'greyed out', or that it will not connect to a Wi-Fi network?

Cannot play downloaded iTunes HD movies

Hello,
I initially had an issue downloading movies on my PC from iTunes in HD. I seemed to have taken care of that bug, now I cannot play any of my downloaded HD movies and wanted to know how to fix this. I never had a problem before but this seems to be an intermittent issue. Sometimes it works but most of the time it does not.
I do get a pop up window saying that my machine cannot play HD movies and that I should download in SD instead....this does not make any sense seeing that I was able to do this prior to a couple of the last iTunes software updates.
Can anyone help?

I restored my nVidia 8800GT graphics card and was able to watch the HD content purchased from iTunes, again. So, it should be able to do the same.
If your plan is to install both video cards on your system, there might be a problem. If iTunes senses that there is a video card that implements the HD encryption standard, it will restrict HD output to that video card.

Trouble playing downloaded audiobooks with Window Media Player

I can’t get audible book downloads from Net Library to play on my computer. Microsoft Windows Media player v9 and above is required to listen to eAudiobooks. I have this version. When I try to launch a download I get the message: cannot open file; verify file and path are correct. What do I need to do?

Hi, kathy. Welcome to the Discussions.
The Net Library audio books you are downloading are undoubtedly using a version of WMA-DRM (Windows Media Audio - Digital Rights Management) later than version 1.3. According to this post on another forum and related info on Microsoft's Web site here, version 1.3 is the latest version of WMA-DRM supported by WMP9 for Mac OS X.
In other words, the audio books use a later version of DRM (specifically the Microsoft Windows Media Rights Manager ) than that supported by WMP9. They simply will not play in WMP9.
Flip4Mac will not help you here:
• It clearly states on this page that "Note: Flip4Mac does not support content that is protected with Windows Media digital rights management (DRM). "• Flip4Mac would not let you convert the WMA-DRM-protected files to QuickTime files as this would require cracking the DRM protection, a violation of the U.S. DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).
Accordingly, you're out of luck with the Net Library audio books that do not play in WMP9 unless you have a PC running Windows and WMP10.
That Net Library went with files protected by WMA-DRM is a sore point for many Mac users. Search for Net Library in this page for some examples of similarly frustrated users.
Good luck!

Cannot play downloaded music!!!

Hi all,
Have recently purchased new music for a new Ipod, when I double click the song in Itunes to play it is asking me to authorise the IPod. Having entered my username and password it states that it has been correctly authorised however i then get a message saying 'could not complete music store request.An unknown error occures (-208).Error in Music Store. Please try again later.'
Is this due to the high volume of users because its Xmas Day?
Thanks in advance.

Seems like the music never completly downloaded. Try redownloading on computer and sync.

What model iPod do you have? Games can only be played on the 5th gen iPod (iPod video).
I ask because you are posting in the forum for older iPods which do not support games from iTunes.

Cannot play downloaded songs

I have songs downloaded to my iPad. for some reason these songs will not play. The songs were downloaded from iTunes. I have removed and re-added these tunes and the results are the same. Please advise...

If you selected the songs in iTunes and tried to copy/paste that will not work.
Drag the songs from the iTunes window to the player.

Cannot play/download songs from iCloud to iTunes

I just purchased a new MacBook. When I sign into iTunes with my apple id, all of my songs appear, however I am not able to play them or download them from iCloud. The iCloud icons and all text are all light gray, as opposed to their usual bold gray color.
Thanks.

in case anyone else has this problem I wanted to update with the solution. For clarity, this problem had nothing to do with iTunes Match. I just was unable to play or download any music. All I did was quit iTunes and Restart my computer and then all of my music was there and all is working fine.

I cannot play my audiobook on my computer. I have enough room and this is an authorized computer.

Can anyone out there help me?

Are you positive these audiobook files have been successfully imported into iTunes? What format are they? If they are in iTunes, what happens when you try to play them?

Purple screen - cannot play downloaded films on my mac

I rented a movie from the iTunes store, but when I pushed play, I only see a purple and green screen with lines that flash. I can hear audio, but can't see anything. It doesn't help to play the video in Quick Time either. I get the same problem.
I have been searching for a solution for hours, but only find old posts on how to fix this when running Windows. I have a Mac, Airbook. It's 2 weeks old...

Cannot Play audiobooks on my iPod Nano

The Books icon no longer appears on my iPod Nano and I cannot play wma or mp3 audiobooks. The Fitness, Radio, Music, Clock, Photos, etc. icons are still visible. I have used this iPod for some time to listen to wma and mp3 audio books from my local library using Overdrive to download the audio books from the library and then transfer it to my iPod. That no longer works. It is not a problem with the library or Overdrive. I can still download and transfer audio books onto my old iphone 3 and listen to them. When I attach the iPod to the computer it shows up in itunes and under Devices shows my iPod with Music and Audio books, but the transferred audio books do not show up under music or Audio books in iTunes either. iTunes doesn't support wma files but it does support mp3 files. I can transfer library mp3 books to iTunes but then cannot move them to my iPod nano.I tried using Restore iPod in iTunes but when that it changed nothing.

I almost gave up on getting the problem solved and then there it was. I have windows 7 and you have Windows 8 and then maybe you have a newer version of the iP0d Nano. I don't understand their pre-this, post-that versions. I only use my iPod to listen to Library audiobooks. I think the libraries are getting away from using WMA files. Apple no longer supports wma files so I've tried never to load any new updates although I guess I did by restoring it. I think my version is 1.0.2 rather than what you said you had.
I suggest you contact Overdrive Support. Try this email address since it is the one they used to communicate with me: [email protected]
I can't find the email address I used to originally contact support. It was one of those with a bunch of boxes to fill in and then a place to describe the problem. I have replied to their contact with me and asked to verify a support email address. When I get it I will pass it on to you.
I was looking for a player that didn't require iTunes to transfer files and that supported both WMA and MP3 files. WMA is outdated. Apple iPhone etc. no longer supports it. Neither does Android. They say there is an app that will allow playing WMA files but I haven't been able to get it to work. My iPod Nano now works again so I'll stick to it. MP3 audiobooks play as music on the iPhone and on Addroid if you can get it set up so it plays the book in the correct order.
