Codecs to enable iTunes to play .flac, .ape, and other format audio files?

Does anyone know if there are, in the market or developing codecs to enable iTunes users, to play such type files as .flac and .ape? I have several files of this sort, but cant "awe" myself with the purity of lossless audio from either file types.. thus far, I have had to suffice with mp3 or mp4 type files..Anyone??

Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information

Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information to video and music files. Killing the process is the only cure and crashes after inputing information for 5-10 video files. I have the latest version of itunes, and this did not happen to pre 10.x versions of itunes. Running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. 64-bit iTunes.

@tposchi
I do not think it has anything to do with router at all. I have 25mbps down and 6mbps up where I live. This is not shabby at all and I have latest TimeCapsule which is acts as my router at home. Yet the latest iTuns blows up playing streams. So I use this player instead: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html. Not as pretty, but at least I can play radio stream 24 hours a day with it and have no problems. iTunes 10.7 does not last one hour I too wish Apple fix it.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

DVD drive plays certain dvds and others not

I've accidently locked my dvd drive to a certain region (not sure which), and i know that i cant unlock it. But i realise that i can play certain dvds and others not, for example in my Will & Grace collection i can play the first 5 seasons but not the later ones. When i try to play the later ones, dvd player tells me to eject it because 'the dvd does not match the drive region code'...But why can i play the other ones which have the same region code??

If you locked your machine in the wrong region code, take it in for service.

Can I enable pof serialization for one cache and other JAVA serialization

I had coherence cluster with few cache , Is there any way i can enable pof serialization for one cache and other to use normal JAVA serialization

you can control serialization on a service-by-service basis. You can specify which serializer to use for the service with the <serializer> element in the service-scheme element corresponding to the service in the scache configuration file.
Be aware, though, that if you use Coherence*Extend, and the service serializer configuration for the proxy service does not match the serializer configuration of the service which you are proxying to the extend client then the proxy node has to de- and reserialize the data which it moves between the service and the client.
Best regards,

ITunes continuous play check boxes and iPhone sync

Hi Here is my problem..if I want iTunes to play each songs on my library one after the other the check boxes have to be marked BUT if I synch my iPhone with iTunes I don't want to upload on it all of my songs then I check/uncheck only the albums I want to upload.. So now, I can't play one after the other, on my MBP, the songs which are not synched on iTunes because of the check boxes? I miss something? Thanks, ciao!

Use playlists for syncing. One or more regular and/or smart to suit your needs.
Checkboxes are best for marking the occasional unchecked track as something you won't want to hear unintentionally, e.g. interview tracks or holiday music out of season.

ITunes download plays on iPad and Mac, not on iPod?

Music download plays on iPad and MacBook, not on iPod. Skips out, or skips to next song.

Assuming the songs play fine in yor iTunes library
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Thanks, kradle
UPDATE:
After installing gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg wma files and FLAC files seem to play fine (but I think the FLAC files I tried to play before were just damaged and that this is irrelevant)
Only m4a does not work now
UPDATE:
m4a after installing gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins.
At first I did not manage to do this because I had ffmpeg-svn installed, so I installed ffmpeg and removed ffmpeg-svn, installed libvpx and removed libvpx-git and not it works perfectly.

I Get an Error "To Access Your iTunes Library ..." And Other Things Are Wonky Too ... Can't Reset ... Internet Radio Drops ... But Things Look To Be Set Up Okay

When I use my Apple TV and try to play music from my computer I get an error: "To access your iTunes library on Apple TV, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer using 'myname'"
On my computer n iTunes Preferences / Sharing I have the "Share my library on my local network" checked with "Share entire library" -- no password, no update play counts. I've turned it off and on again.
The Apple TV settings show we are "talking to" my WIFI -- it has my network, shows a good signal strenght, all sorts of internet addresses and IP stuff I don't understand ...
The "Internet" tab works with some of those things I'd never use -- like I see the current NHL standings.
My TV works and I get an ATV signal and those little chimes / bongs when I hit things in the menu. And when it works I get audio so the cables and TV are okay.
In the past I had trouble with the settings for my favourite Internet Radio stations (the provider changed their URL but Apple didn't update the presets for a while) but those are now resolved.
I had a crappy old G class router and week signal strenght but I have a new N class Cisco router with a strong signal.
But other things are wonky:
* I play interent radio and my station will go fine for about five minutes then stop -- the little wheel spins trying to reconnect. Sometimes it resets but more often than not it won't. I just tried again four hours later and the same thing.
* I've unplugged the ATV and plugged it back in but no noticable improvement
* I tried to do the factory reset from the ATV menu. It says it will download the latest bla bla bla and after a few minutes tells me "Apple TV can't download latest update right now, try again later" -- I've tried three times today always with the same results.
* I unhooked it from the power and HDMI and plugged it into a Micro USB cable and plugged that into my Mac -- it doesn't show up in the devices in iTunes.
* I have a bunch of photos in a folder that I use for my ATV Screen Saver. A few weeks ago I added two photos to that folder -- they don't show up in the ATV screen show but the others still do.
* When I started today I checked my iTunes and the airplay icon didn't show in the bottom right (beside the genious icon and the little thing to show or hide the sidebar). Now I noticed the Airplay icon is there. When I try to switch from playing through my computer speaakers to my Apple TV I get an error "An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the Airplay device "Apple TV"" -- the ATV shows that Airplay is on.
* I see from the ATV settings that I'm running ATV Software 4.4.3 (3323) and when I do a "Update Software" on the ATV it tells me that my software is current.
* My iTunes is 10.5.2 (11) and my OS is 10.6.8 -- both are up to date.
Yikes and double yikes!
Any ideas?

Hey Chunk,
I love the idea of the ATV more than I have loved the little black box but ... famous last words ... my ATV seems to be working better these days.
A big challenge for me was too many variables at play -- new router, new ATV OS / firmware / whatever, changing internet radio presets, a less than perfect physical set up ... and a short attention span from yours truly.
Here's what I did. Somwhere in these changes things got "fixed."
* I unhooked the ATV and did a factory restore by hard wiring the ATV to my computer with a micro USB cable (no external power needed) working through iTunes (I run iTunes 10.5.2 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8).
* after the reset I now have ATV (is that an operating system or a firmware?) 4.4.4
* then I plugged it back into my home theatre and it didn't work :-) but in slightly different ways. The settings showed that I was connected to my home network but I couln't get connected using my Apple ID and no internet radio. (it is often counterintuitive -- like why when I want my ATV to talk to my iMac over my local network am I logging in to the iTnes Store with my Apple ID? but there you go.)
* I booked with the genius bar at the Apple Store and put my ATV in my pocket. They pulled out a TV, HDMI cable, ATV power source and even the remote -- all I provided was my little black ATV. We hooked the ATV to their TV and from the Apple Store (using thier WIFI) I logged in using my Apple ID and the thing worked fine.
* so now I knew that my ATV was up to date and it worked in the Apple Store using their network so it looked like the issue was my network.
* rebooted my router and noticed that when I had upgraded to the new super dooper Cisco n router we had plugged my iMac direct to the router via ethernet cable. I unhooked the ethernet and now just run my computer WIFI using AirPort.
And ...
It works. I use my ATV exclusivly for music -- my iTunes and internet radio and AirPlay -- and now both work fine. The ATV does pick up photos from my iPhoto for the screen saver and all that other stuff -- netflix, youtube, the hockey scores, ... all seem to be there. And my son played a video off his iPod Touch using AirPlay.
I know my approach is more scattered than a proper scientific try but ...
From my experience ... reset the ATV and get it up to date; see if it will work on someone else's network; check your network set up.
Good luck!

.FLV files ..why do some play in HTML and others don't?

hi,
I am using dreamweaver 8 to embed 'FLV videos into html
webpages.
the problem is that when I embed and test some flv files, the
player shows up on the page and the videos play fine,
but when I try with a couple of other flv files, these files
do not work - a blank screen shows up (though when I right-click on
the screen where the video player is supposed to be, the flash
drop-down menu appears).
I know that the Size of the files is not why these files are
not working, and I have the latest version of flash player
installed. Also, I'm sure I have not made a mistake in the code,
and I suspect that it is something to do with difference/s in the
files themselves... ?
If you need any further info, please let me know.
this is quite frustrating - so please help.
thank you.

Maybe the following bits from the following Adobe page may be relevant:

How to play video repeatedly and with no audio

Hello all,
I use the following code to play video in Flex:
public function startPlayback(event:CairngormEvent) : void
     if (model.nsDemoRemotePlay != null )
                               * Stop and close previous NetStream.
                              var demoStopStreamEvent :VCDemoStopStreamEvent = new VCDemoStopStreamEvent();
                              CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(demoStopStreamEvent);
                    nc.connect(null);
                     * Setup NetStream for playback.
                    model.nsDemoRemotePlay = new NetStream(nc);
                    model. nsDemoRemotePlay.receiveAudio( false );
                    model.nsDemoRemotePlay.client = this._responder;
                         model.videoRemote = new Video(model.videoRemoteWidth, model.videoRemoteHeight);
                         model.videoRemote.attachNetStream( model.nsDemoRemotePlay );
     model.nsDemoRemotePlay.play("assets/videos/Demo.flv");
I have two questions:Could anybody please help me in answering these.
1. Is it possible to play a video without audio? I used receiveAudio( false ) with NetStream object. But audio is still there.
2. How can I play a video play repeatedly? I want to play video repeatedly and stop it only when a Stop event is fired.
Thanks.
roshni.

NSObj.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
public function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
     switch(event.info.code)
          case "NetStream.Play.Start" :// your code
                                                     break;

                                                     break;

I hope my post will answer your question or helps

Itunes cannot play certain songs and will not add them to the library

i have music files on both a hard drive connected to a router plus i have placed the specific files onto my mac to try to fix this issue to no avail. while songbird, vox, and several other players will easily load correctly and do exactly what i want, itunes will not play these songs, will skip over them when i try to add to the library and will not play the file if i drag and drop, try to load it through the "file, add to library" method. the files are .ogg, .m4a, .mp3, .m4p, and they just will not show up. Any media players out there that will recognize an ipod so i can load these files up and get away from my mac for a while?

@CPL_STEELE: can you try to post these specifications in your own topic? (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=985161&tstart=0)
It's not very nice to take over someone else this topic, because the topic starter (Ganieda) could have another problem than you. It's also very confusing for everyone who is trying to help because there are now 2 problems in the same topic.
Never the less, feel free to follow this topic if you think it could be interesting for you problem.

Downloaded songs from iTunes only plays half way and it cut off

I downloaded an album in the itunes store and the first and last songs only play half way through in itunes and then stop. My iphone sync'd wirelessly and got the complete songs. Any ideas on what happened? Can I redownload them?

To be of any assistance I need more info.
Are they playing normal in iTunes or iPod?
if skipping in iPod, are you listening via the earphone jack or the iPod Docking station?
But if you dont like to share info, perhaps this link may help
