File type is corrupt or wont play

I just posted my first podcast, I have it playing on other podcatchers but when I try to download it from itunes I get an error message that the file type is corrupt or not supported. It's in mp3 format. How can I fix this, or resubmit it?

What is your feed URL?
Have you tried testing it with http://www.feedvalidator.org/
Hope this is helpful.

Hi,
Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

I am trying to move files into imovie but they wont play

I am horrible with computers but trying. The files were saved and would play through VLC player when I clicked on them to rename them I change them to .mov and then when I tried to import in to Imovie they woud not do it and now they will not play at all. So I tried changing them to mp4 but they wouldnt play still. How can I convert these or save them to go into imovie so I can get them edited an uploaded to youtube. I have that part figured out but I dont have the first part figured out. Thanks

See my post here for how to do this.

Some old downloaded itunes will now not play the files are there but just wont play is there a fix

Some old downloaded itunes movies will no longer play. The files are in the itunes movies folder . Any Ideas dont want to have to redownload and pay again
any ideas ?

You mean files are there on device or in iTunes? Do they play in iTunes?

.mp3 files that used to play now say 'the file is corrupt' but they play fine in google crome. Do you have problems with your default mp3 player?

I've posted a number of mp3 file links on our website. All have been functioning and playing well until this week, they are no longer playing when clicked on. The new tab opens, thinks, then says that the "video cannot be played because the file is corrupt". These files are able to be downloaded and played from individual computers and will play fine in other browsers - such as Google Chrome.
Not sure if there is an issue with Firefox default mp3 player?

I assume that this is because of the way the MP3 file is encoded.
Sample rate: 22050 Hz
Bitrate: 32 kb/s
If I open the file in a tab then I see a media player, but inspecting the page source shows a video tag with no source attribute, so Firefox seems to have a problem with decoding the media header despite the audio/mpeg content type.
I don't know what to do about this apart from playing the file in an external player or play the file via an object or embed tag to make Firefox use a plugin.
Using a bookmarklet like this to force an audio tag doesn't work as well:
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,<audio src="%S" controls>
</nowiki></pre>

I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

Adobe 8 - Unexpected Corrupt or incorrect file type warning when viewing a PDF file from the Web

Hi,
On downloading a PDF file from my web site using Adobe 8 on the client machine I expect the file to open automatically however I receive encounter the "File Download" dialog. It has the following warning message: "The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download."
This issue did not occur within previously tested versions of Adobe Reader (e.g. Version 5.1).
On investigating the issue I discovered the factor that results in Adobe 8 failing to open the file automatically is the Content-Type = "application/pdf; Charset=utf-8". However, if I intercept the response and alter the Content-Type to contain only "application/pdf;" the issue on Adobe 8 does not occur.
I have even tested when the Content-Type contains an empty Charset (i.e. "application/pdf; Charset=") but this issue still occurs. In addition setting the Charset to other encodings (e.g. "ISO-LATIN-7", "iso-8859-1") the issue occurs.
QUESTION(s):
1. Why is it necessary for Adobe 8 when opening PDF files from the web to expect no Charset within the Content-Type?
2. If this was not an issue within previous versions of Adobe surly this is a bug?
Since I cannot ensure that the Response's Content-Type does not contain a Charset at all please can someone suggest either a work-around or more importantly a solution to the issue?
Please Note:-
1. Within Adobe, Edit -> Preferences -> Internet option it's compulsory for our users to have "Display PDF in browser" ticked!
2. We cannot prevent a Charset from being present within the Content-Type of the response sent to the client, hence this issue.
Many Thanks in advance,
Martin.

Bill,
This is exactly the same behavior I observed when I rendered a PDF stored in a database through a .NET page. If I chose to save it, it would open fine after the save, but if I chose to open it in the browser without saving it, I would get the error.
The problem was not with the PDF or Acrobat. It was with the way I was delivering the PDF. Putting the following code before my binarywrite fixed the issue completely:
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.ClearContent()
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + saveFilename)
where saveFileName is the name you want to give the PDF.
You can use 'inline' instead of 'attachment' above if you just want the PDF to open (no option to save first). You can also use 'pdf' instead of 'octet-stream' (not sure the difference).
The trouble seems to be that .NET puts some info in the header and/or content by default prior to anything your code says to write. If you don't clear this, IE has an issue with it. Other browsers seem to ignore it.
Bottomline is that this is an issue the website programmer needs to fix and is not something the user can fix by changing some setting(s).
I hope this helps.

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

KB2878233 corrupts PowerPoint file type associations (bis).

Dear,
I posted the question below a week ago in the Office forums on answers.microsoft.com, but did not receive any reaction. Allow me to repeat:
Installing the KB2878233 security update corrupts the file type associations for PowerPoint files in the following environment: Windows XP SP3 ("fully" updated) / PowerPoint
Viewer v. 14.0.7015.1000.
PPT files get associated with MOC.EXE for opening them. Uninstalling the update does not restore the original associations. The problem can be alleviated by repairing the PPT Viewer installation manually.
Question: can this High Priority security update please be re-released through Windows Update without the corruption effects?
TIA.
Kind Regards,
Jan J.
Brussels, Belgium

Hi,
We can try to change the file associate in Registry key:
For all users on this computer, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes.
For current user account, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes. If there is no such extension, please create new keys for it.
Hope these could be helpful.

QT wont play certain files all of a sudden

I updated my QT 7.2.0 to 7.2.2 and QT wont play my mp4 files, I get an error saying ' movie could not be opened an invalid sample description was found in the movie' . Also it wont play the audio on some formats and I can't get ant audio from youtube. I have flip 4 mac. real audio. m player and divx installed, and I also downloaded some codec as directed by apple when it wouldn't play a certain file. can I go back to my original qt as it was working great. I previously bought QT pro but also had it when I bought 4.5 hd and have just upgraded to FCS 2 can I just reinstall qt from my FCS 2 dvd. And how or should I delete the codecs maybe they are messing QT up.

Thanks, by that I prosume you mean all divx codecs. But does that include x in the extention name ie npUpload.xpt . Also when I go to you tube for example the film plays but no sound. I downloaded vlc which will play my .mp4 files but with no sound. I Work on Logic Studio so I use a motu 896 converter but it does'nt seem to be that. Can I just reinstall QT 7.2 from FCS2 as that was working perfect. Once again Thanks

A clicked link embedded in email (Outlook Express) takes forever to open in Firefox - the file type instruction is as follows: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -requestPending -osint -url "%1". Why is this corrupted?

I believe the above problem started after a recent Windows update to my PC. I found a solution. First I open My Computer, Folder Options and then File types. File types affected: (None) Hypertext Transfer Protocol and (None) Hypertext Transfer Protocol with Privacy. When I change the Advanced Application to be Used by eliminating "requestPending -osint -yrl" from the entry, email links open almost instantly again. The problem is that the change I make is not permanent. Something keeps switching it back to the corrupted form and links don't work properly from my email.

I suspect you may need to modify your Windows registry settings to make the changes permanent. That said, I believe the command line options you wish to remove act as safeguards, I would caution against removing them.
'''-requestPending''' 
Tells the application that there will be a Windows DDE request to open the same url specified on the command line.
(Windows DDE is a method for transferring data between applications.)
'''-osint''' 
Tells the application that it is being launched by the OS shell.
'''-url URL''' 
Open URL in a new tab or window, depend on the browser option.
For more info, see [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options here].
You could try removing the -requestPending option (leaving the other options) and uncheck/clear the "Use DDE" checkbox. This may speed things up.
With regards to editing the Windows registry, please see [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310516 here]. '''Remember to back up your registry first!'''
I believe you will need to modify the following registry keys:
Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command 
Software\Classes\https\shell\open\command 
Software\Classes\ftp\shell\open\command 
Let us know how you get on.

Encore wont play video files

I recently upgraded encore from ver.2 to cs3 and find that ver.cs3 wont play video files.
It wont play the file in the project window, it just stops at the first frame. If I move the slider below the viewer the video material is updated but it wont play.
In the monitor view it wont play either, I can view the material by manually moving the cursor.
It wont play a preview either, it just stops.
It builds a DVD without problems and the dvd plays fine without errors but the program wont play any video files.
Ver.2 plays all the same video files without problems.
Please help!

Whew!
Glad that you got it fixed, and thanks for posting what worked for you.
Good luck with the interview,
Hunt
