Chapters won't play

I need help here. I am using idvd 08 and made the chapters in the program. They played fine in the preview but won't play when burned. How do I fix this? Also, if I have to start all over again, is there a way to take a project that has already been sent to browser and remove the audio tracks that I have added from Itunes? I really appreciate any advice. Burning useless dual layer DVDs is getting costly! Thanks.

dear holland
I have the same problem. I made a 1.41h film with some 15 chapters in imovie08 and then iDVD 08.
Then I burned the DVD without music in the menues basically dropping the movie created in imovie08 onto some button and let the program do the all the setting.
Result: a nice dvd
Then I wanted to add some music to the menues, so they would be less boring. I did. Music plays..everything looks the same but the menus dont work anymore!!! Only the "beginning" and "play movie" menus work.
does anyone have an idea how to fix this.
Holland! from my experience one should think IF you remove sound of your menus it could work...just as a short fix.

HT1657 Downloaded 2 rentals and they won't play. They ask if I would like to begin the rental period, I say yes and it takes me to the dvd screen, but does not play. I hit play, fast forward, skip chapters and nothing.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

HT1657 Was watching a movie on my iPad2 and it just stopped, thought it was a low battery but even after charging itbto 100% the movie won't play anymore. It shows the movie chapters but says the movie content can't be played. Please advjise

Was watching a movie on my iPad2 and the movie stopped playing, I thought it was because of a low battery but even after charging the battery to 100% it still won't play. I can bring up the movie & all the chapters but when I press play it says movie content can not be played. Please advise. Thanks!

I am having almost the same problem, with the same OS, iTunes versions, and kids waiting to watch their favorite movie (Frozen). I am (trying) to play the content on the computer, and hooked up to Vizio TV and external stereo.
The video will display on the TV, but the audio will only play through the laptop. The movie will still play with both audio and video on the laptop.
In researching this morning, it seems that i need to purchase a new TV and stereo that are HDCP "compliant" (NOT just compatible). Folks are also complaining that the same "won't play" issues directly on Mac hardware.
I could not find any current software workarounds or patches (Apple seems silent on this as a "problem").
Upgrading hardware is insulting and (frankly) impossible. Why should I get new hardware that works perfectly well?
I was going to get an Apple TV for Christmas, although not if new products cannot be used with my current hardware. I would rather go back to all Microsoft hardware and software than constantly deal with troubleshooting Apple hardware and software.
I'm going to uninstall iTunes v 12 and reinstall v 11 to see if that works.
Please post if there is a solution!

Satellite A200 does not play DVDs won't play

I'm a first time user on this forum so hello to everyone.
My problem is that my (Vista-running) A200 Satellite will not play DVDs. When I try I get the following message: "Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings. Needless to say, I've played around with the relevant settings and there was no change to the situation. In a response posted at a different forum, someone suggested that I ditch Windows Media Player in favour of something better. I thought the alternative program he suggested would be free but it wasn't. Anyway, I've tried playing DVDs with other programs and got the same basic message. So it's not a Windows Media Player thing, it's a playing DVDs thing. Also, it doesn't matter if WMP isn't the BEST DVD player - I just want to play DVDs!! I've written to a Microsoft customer care helper person and they wrote back saying that it wasn't their problem. They consider it a "hardware matter". I don't buy that.
Just some history - I bought the computer second hand from a good friend. Now I can't remember ever playing a DVD on the computer, which slightly confuses things for the following reasons. Just after I bought the computer, which runs Vista, I installed MP3 player software that disagreed with the CD/DVD player drivers. This I think is a fairly common problem. That time Microsoft reps were happy to help me and told me to delete two key lines of the registry. That fixed the problem to some extent because now the drive a) existed again and b) could read and play CDs. But when I tried to play a DVD I got the above-mentioned message.
So like I say, as I don't remember ever even trying to play a DVD on the drive, I don't know whether or not the problems are related to the MP3 software clash problem, although it doesn't seem unlikely that they are related. Finally, the computer was less than a year old when I bought it and in every other respect it has been fine (Vista's intolerable sluggishness notwithstanding). Sadly the extended warranty has now run out so I hope it's not a hardware problem. The point is that since I've never even played a DVD on this thing, and it plays CDs with no problems (furthermore, the drive can READ DVDs, it can tell me all the chapters that are on a DVD and read files off it - it just won't play movies), I don't think it's hardware. I think there's some bug going on.
If anyone could shed any light on this matter, I would be eternally grateful!
Regards
Tom

Turns out that my confidence in Windows Media Player was misguided.
I wrote and said as much to the Microsoft rep who advised me to look elsewhere for advice.
I further told him that from now on, if I meet anyone with the same problem I will give them the advice with which I was originally provided - don't use Windows Media Player.
Heeding the rep's advice, I looked around on the website for the company that produced my DVD drive (Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-850S ATA Device) and in other forums, I forget where I found the advice but this media player:
Videolan Media Player Downloadable for free at:
http://www.videolan.org/
seems to play DVDs with no problems. I hope someone else might benefit from the information.
Good luck to all

Chapter one won't play

This is odd. I have several chapters in my movie (created in FCP). They all imported fine into DVD SP. I used a DVD SP template, everything works great in the simulator. I burned the disk as disk image. Everything plays fine on the computer. But when I put the DVD in a dvd player, the first chapter won't play. I get a disc error. However, if I play any of the other chapters, they work fine. Also, if I play chapter 2 and then just rewind a little I can see the footage from chapter one. I can even view it if I don't rewind too far. But if I rewind too far (to the beginning of chapt. 1) then I get another disc error.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Michael

Welcome to the forum!
What did you set the 'First Play' for the disc to?

Players won't play DVD

I've seen this problem discussed a little in this forum, but hope to get some more ideas. I made a DVD containing a manual-advance slideshow with about 20 TIFF files in iDVD that plays fine in the Mac DVD Player. But it won't play in either of our two DVD players -- an old GE model and a brand-new Panasonic model. The old one just says, "This disk cannot be played." The new one shows the opening screen with the "thumbnail" of the first slide, but when you try to advance it, the player says the disk can't be played.
I found one post that said manual-advance may not work, but I haven't wasted another DVD yet to try auto advance.
Any ideas would be welcome.
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1 Ghz G4, 512MB RAM

Have you tried all the buttons on the DVD player remote?
Manual advance slides are actually chapters.
That said, it's been my experience that some DVD players won't advance the slides.
Auto advance should be OK for you.

ITunes Movie won't Play on iPad

I have the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G 64GB
When Star Trek came out on DVD, I bought the Blu-ray 3-Disc copy that had a free Digital Copy download from iTunes.
This copy would play on my Apple TV, but not my iPhone... Now I have loaded it to my new iPad, and it won't play on it. It tells me it can't be played on this device.
Can anyone help me out here?

That's correct for me - It syncs just fine. I can even open the main movie menu on the ipad, see all the movie info, chapters, and everything. Just when I go to play it I get the error "This movie could not be played". I had a similar problem with Wall-E (bought directly from itunes store - not blu ray digital copy). But for whatever reason, that issue resolved itself. Princess and the Frog is locked down, though. I've tried resyncing, syncing manually versus automatically, etc. No Luck. This movie plays fine though itunes on my TV.
Any thoughts?

Itunes Movie Downloaded but won't Play

I purchased a movie from iTunes, it has downloaded but it won't play. The title menu comes up but when you click on play nothing happens nor does anything happen my you click on different chapters. My Macbook is authorized.

Hello Hannah and anyone else who has this problem. I had the same issue and it was very annoying, because I was also told it was an authorization issue. So I deauthorized and reauthorized multiple times, restarted my computer, tried to play in SD instead of HD, set the settings to 32bit and all that. Sadly but fortunately it was just a small issue. Go to Finder, click on go to folder and type "/Users/Shared/SC Info"
Make sure you change the folder view to column view. You can do this by clicking the 3rd tab that looks like 4 rectangles side by side on the menu bar of that window. You will see a folder called SC Info. Trash that and restart your computer. Then... Deathorize and Re-Authorize your itunes and you will be good to go.
Here is the link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389?viewlocale=en_US
The link might look unrelated to the issue, because it does not specifically come up when Googling or searching support for this error.
BTW AppleCare gave me this information. They were awesome because they continued to call me and update me on their efforts to solve the issue. The engineers ultimately figured it out and the customer care person called me and walked me through it.
I hope this works for you all.

Itunes downloaded movie won't play

I've searched the forum but can't find a relevant solution. I purchased and downloaded a movie through iTunes, but when I try to play it I just get a black screen. The controls appear, and I can see screens in the chapters, but it won't play. I deleted and re-downloaded it twice to no avail.

I am having the same problem right now and I can't seem to find an answer, I really wish I could help you :/

IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ? Anybody help please. Thanks

When leave I nano 4th gen connected to either of my cars it no longer restarts playing when car is restarted. Instead it shows 'no entry' in the song title on the car audio display and won't play until disconnected and reconnected.

Nano has worked fine for a couple of years being left connected to either one of our cars. However, every time car is restarted it won't play without being disconnected and reconnected. I have done a full restore.
Current cars are Range Rover Sport 2011 and Jaguar XK 2011.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks,

I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

ITunes Purchased Music Won't Play

OK, I must be doing something wrong. I sync my iPhone and it gets all the music I had selected. But I've discovered a number of songs that won't play...and these just happen to be iTunes purchased music! My regular mp3's will play.
Now I know the purchased songs work because they play on my Nano and Shuffle2. The purchased songs also play in iTunes.
Any ideas?
And a second question...I've downloaded a few TV shows which play fine in iTunes but do not play on the iPhone. Is there a "trick" to playing my purchased music and video on the iPhone?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi!
I discovered that my purchase music and videos stopped playing when I went into a Tully's coffee shop and attempted to access their Wi-fi network. I don't know if this was the cause of me losing access to my purchase music, but this is when the problems started. When I got home today I unloaded all the music playlists off of my iphone using itunes, and then I added them back in and re-synced. This seem to do the trick. I can now listen to all of my purchased music and watch my purchased videos. Give it a try. I hope that we don't have to do this sort of thing all the time.

Certain songs won't play on devices

I have an iphone 5 and an older ipod colour 30gb.
Recently the iphone wouldn't get new songs added to it during syncing with itunes.
I removed all music then readded it. It now has all songs displayed on it, but will only play some.
The ones which don't play have the stop icon next to them in the playlist view and are greyed out.
It just skips to the next song when attempting to play. These songs played previously and are fine in itunes.
They are imported not bought MP3's.
After recently syncing the ipod recently it has the same issue, showing songs in the list but just skipping over them when playing.
I am loath to restore both devices, as it would seem like an itunes issue if it is affecting multiple devices similarly.
Is it possible to rebuild my library or something, or should i restore itunes?
Im a reasonably experienced mac user so have checked what i hope are sensible things, inc d
Ideas?
Thanks!

In addition I have now:
Reinstalled itunes,
rebuilt my itunes library,
restored my iphone and used a backup on it.
It is still doing it! The songs which won't play or are greyed out etc are different this time again though.
