Embedded audio doesn't play on iPad or iPhone

I have embedded HTML code in my homepage for audio to play:
<embed src="playit.mp3" autostart="true" loop="false" hidden="true"></embed>
which plays OK on desktops and laptops, but does not play on iPads or iPhones.
Does anyone else experience this with their embedded audio code?
Is this phenomenon a quirk of iPad/iPhone that requires some special coding?
All feedback welcome.

Embedded audio doesn't play from server.

It plays fine in Preview but does not play from the server. I am using Dreamweaver CC and have used the suggested three sources, mp3, wav, and ogg. I am very new at HTML and Dreamweaver CC so was looking for the most basic way to approach this. I don't want to be too much of a burden so if I could learn to have my song play in one OS (iOS) and one browser (Safari) that would be good enough for me. Thanks very much.

What John said. I can't find any of these files on your server.
<source src="music/Música Gurdjieff- De Hartmann.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
<source src="music/Música Gurdjieff- De Hartmann.wav" type="audio/wav">
<source src="music/Música Gurdjieff- De Hartmann.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
Also, don't use spaces or special characters in file or folder names. White space in your file names causes validation errors in HTML5 doc types. You may safely use dots . hyphens - or underscores _ but not spaces.

In iMovie, audio doesn't play on movie preview

Hello,
I got iMovie 10.0.6 yesterday. It worked fine for a few minutes, but afterwards, I couldn't hear the audio in my movie. However, if I went into the event the movie it was in, I could hear the audio on preview. I tried exporting, and the audio was working perfectly there too, but not in the movie preview itself.

What version of OS and Keynote?
Audio doesn't play on a single slide when exported into Qtime
Are you trying to play audio over the complete presentation on one slide or a range of slides?

Welcome to the forum.
While it may seem like we are clairvoyant (if you read through all the truly amazing problem solving threads), we really can not see your computer or read your mind.
As much as I love 20 questions, you can short cut things by telling us all about your computer system, the media you are working with, your version of FCP, QT, OSX and what you have done to solve this little problem.

ICal on the Mac doesn't sync to iPad and iPhone

I'm syncing using iCloud. A calendar update on the iPhone will sync in iTunes but the sync only updates the iPad calendar. iCal on the Mac doesn't update to the newer iPhone calendar events. I also tried it by hooking the iPad directly to the Mac via the cable, and the newer events on the iPad calendar (which had the new events transferred via sync from the iPhone) didn't transfer to iCal. On the Mac in iTunes, I have the calendar named "Home" checked, which is the same name as the calendars on the iPhone and iPad.
How do you sync the Mac iCal to the iPhone and iPad calendars?

The 'Home' calendar does not sync to iCloud, only the iCloud calendar does that.
In the iCloud control panel have you turned calendar sync on? and are you seeing the iCloud calendar in iCal?, all calendars in the 'On my Mac' group are local, they do not sync.
Also, check in iCal>Preferences>Accounts, to ensure that iCloud is subscribed to in iCal:

The embeded swf doesn't play...

Hi
I'm trying to embed a swf that was created with a flash gallery making program into a pdf file but it just never works properly. I've also tried converting it into pdf but that doesn't work either. Once I convert it/embed it all I see is a white/black square. However if I embed other smaller swfs most of them just work fine. Could the problem be that the swf is too large? Can anybody please figure out the problem? I've been trying everything for the past 3 days and I'm awfully desperate Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated!

Acrobat and OS make no difference, but the version of Flash Player that the gallery targets will make a difference - Acrobat and Adobe Reader currently won't play content designed for Flash Player 11.
The other problem can arise when the gallery is using external assets (image files, XML configuration files, etc.) as these must be available after embedding. You should attach them using the Resources tab on the Rich Media Annotation dialog box (right-click your embedded SWF in Acrobat and choose Properties), but if the gallery is written to expect certain folder structures it may not like being sandboxed inside a PDF file.

Audio won't play on iPad without a visible button?

I'm having some similar issues as others asking audio questions. I have a fixed layout EPUB that has a few sound effects files. I wanted these to be hidden for surprise discovery by kids. I made empty boxes overlying the images on the page into buttons that play the sound if touched. (Example touch an animal and hear a sound). That works perfect in Ibooks in the Mac, but on iPad, I can only get the sound to play if there is a visible button to push.
Is having an invisible button for audio not possible iPad?
What if I turned the image itself into a button?
I also have a sound effect that is triggered by an animation and plays on page load. This does seem to work correctly.
Any help is appreciated!

You may be out of luck on Mac because an audio tag is used to play the media files and this media format may not be implemented yet on Mac.
You could try to copy the link and open the file in an external media player.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.
That should show the URL of the media file
<pre><nowiki>document.querySelector("audio").src</nowiki></pre>
If there are multiple players then use this code and adjust the number [#]
<pre><nowiki>document.querySelectorAll("audio")[0].src</nowiki></pre>

Soundcloud embedded player doesn't play sometimes

I embedded the a soundcloud file in a website. It plays well in Chrome and IE, but not in Firefox 20.0.1.
It should play HTML5 audio.
There is a nice rotating image in the player, but no sound.
The strange thing is: some files do play in Firefox (all do in Chrome and IE) and some don't. Anyone experiencing this odd behavior? And is there anything I can do?

I too have the same problems despite all the support help. However these solutions do not seem to work. Have tried everything. Begin to wonder whether there is a solution?

Audio doesn't play

I'm having a problem where clips in the preview window will not play audio, particularly for long clips. Often if I start at the beginning of a clip, I can hear the audio all the way through. When I mark and in and the sounds stops, I can't hear audio from the in point and I have to back up several minutes into the clip to get my audio back. Makes Final Cut basically unusable.

Hi Tom,
The problem seems to come from having audio (imported from a field recorder that rolled before the camera) at the beginning of a synchronized clip that starts before the video. It seems that the audio preview will only work for as long as the length of the actual video (starting from the beginning of the synchronized clip rather than the first frame of video). Since the video (which came from a Canon 5D mk ii, transcoded and proxied) starts later than the audio, scrubbing ceases to function past it's length, even if there is more video and audio. So if the audio recorder rolled for 30 seconds before the camera, the synchronized clip has 30 seconds of sound without video at the beginning and the clip will scrub fine until it hits 30 seconds before the end of the actual video. On the show I'm working on, the audio rolled non-stop during the interviews while the camera had to restart every 12 minutes due to the nature of the camera. I'm testing to se if trimming the audio prior to synchronizing the sound makes a difference. It would be handy if there was a way to trim out the unused audio at the beginning of the synchronized clip after it's already been synchronized, but I haven't figured out a way to do it.

Audio doesn't play right in transitions

So I have 2 clips that i'm trying to put an overlap in between.It inserts fine, but when i play it the audio in the transition is the audio from a clip that's at the beginning of the video. Every transition is like this and I have no clue what to do, suggestions?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

"..ANy idea what's causing this?.."
Yes, it's reading the audio from a "cache" ..a bit of memory where it's stored what it played previously. Same as when you preview a transition: it uses its memory cache to give an idea of what the transition will look like between clips. One or more of the clips which it uses in the 'preview' may be different from the clips which you're intending to apply the transition to.
Tides are caused by the proximity of the moon and sun to the earth. It's a glitch. The Supreme Being inadvertently forgot to keep the moon and sun at right angles to each other ..a programming error.
Don't worry; it'll be corrected in the next version of the Universe. (Except that water may be accidentally reformulated as H2O2.)

Html export with embedded video won't play on ipad

Keynote 6.0 for Mac - when you export a keynote as html, if there is embedded video, the video will not play on an ios device.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions..
If you didn't repair permissions after updating Safari, try that.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
Also, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

Audio doesn't play in DVD player

Hello,
First post here, so be gentle.
When I burn a DVD, there is no sound when I play it on my dvd player. It plays fine when played on my Mac.
Here is what is going on:
1. capture HD video in imovie 06.
2. add chapters, no external audio or photos
3. export to idvd
4. check video in idvd, all looks good, includes audio
5. burn dvd
6. when burn is complete, play in DVD player
results:
No sound when playing video.
I am not sure where to go next, I will try another DVD player this evening. When creating a DVD with the exact same setup but not HD content, everything worked fine.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Bill

If it plays OK in your Mac, iDVD 'has done its thing'.
Not all set top like writable media - this might be your problem.
More likely, your problem involves a high level of burn errors resulting from low quality media and/or a high burn speed. Instead of going directly from iDVD to writable media, create a disk image file (an option under FILE). Use Apple's DVD Player to verify the mounted (by double-clicking on the disk image icon), then use Apple's Disk Utility or Roxio's Toast to burn the disk image to writable media. Use good quality media (Maxell or Verbatim) and burn at a low speed (4x or slower).
