How do you make itunes not play wav files?

I know how to make it play wav files but how do I remove it from the default player list? I want them to all play in Quicktime. I have done the right click, holt alt and press Always Open With... and also done the right click and specify it to open in Quicktime. I have done this on 3 different Macs with 2 different OSX versions. It will open in Quicktime that one time but then the next time I open a wav file it goes back to Quicktime.
Anyone have any suggestions?

It will open in Quicktime that one time but then the next time I open a wav file it goes back to Quicktime.
Do you mean, "goes back to iTunes"? "A wav file," or the same wav file you just changed?
Did you select the additional option in Get Info's Open With window to, "Change all of this kind to open with Quicktime"?

You didn't say which model of iPod Nano that you have, but generally there should be a lock setting, that can be turned on or off, to prevent accidental changes in settings. And, there is also a setting to turn on or off a feature called, "Shake to Shuffle." It allows you to change songs by just shaking the iPod.

6233 not playing .wav files

i've purchased new 6233 and the firmware is 4.52 but its not playing .wav files, whereas one of my friend has the same phone with 3.70 firmware and its playing without n e problem.
n solutions about this.

Hello.
Only Series 60,80 and 90 phones running Symbian operating system are capable of playing WAV files. From what I know, Series 40 phones do not display this ability and will not be supported still in future revisions of the said platform.
Cheers.

Quicktime not playing .wav files

I cannot get .wav files to play.
I have installed Flip4Mac Beta for snow Leopard (twice) and even reinstalled Quicktime Player 7 just in case that would work since my Quicktime 10 (51) does not handle .wav files. This is a big problem.
Is there a solution since I think it may be something with my upgrade to snow leopard and incompatibility issues and hopefully this is an issue being worked on by apple.

"I have installed Flip4Mac Beta"
BETA=buggy. Suggest that you post your concerns over on the Flip4Mac forums.
There may be solutions regarding how to make their beta product work w/QT & Snow Leopard.

How do you make iTunes multilingual?

For example, I have several songs in my library that are in Korean, so the titles are in Korean, but when I import them into my iTunes library, it changes the Korean symbols to just empty boxes. Is there a way to fix that?

Point iTunes to the location of the media.
Did you possibly move media around (outside of iTunes) at any point? The error simply indicates that the media is not where iTunes expects it to be.

Vista - how do you make iTunes the default player for audio files?

Having started using iTunes on a new Vista PC, I've found that it defaults back to Windows Media as the default audio file player every time the machine is rebooted.
But worse than that, I cannot find any option to make iTunes the default player for MP3 files - under the Vista settings, the ONLY option offered is Windows Media: there is not even a box to tick for iTunes.
Have others found this? Is there any way around this?
(I thought that Microsoft was legally precluded from making these kind of enforced settings now???)

Although I now seem to have successfully made iTunes the default player for audio files, iTunes has started putting up this message:
"The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
A quick scan of the forum shows this problem has come up quite a few times, but I'm far from clear if there is a definitive answer/solution. I am the administrator for the computer. It sounds worrying that the Library file is not being saved - should I be worried?

How do you make iTunes read updated tag data from a file?

This is such basic functionality that I'm sure I'm just missing it. It used to be the when I modified a file using a third party application (or editing a shared library using iTunes running on a different machine), all you had to do to get those updates into iTunes was select, hit "get info" and click OK without changing anything. That broke in 9.2 - it still recognized that the file has changed and adjusts the Date Modified field, but doesn't actually update any of the fields.
The revised tags don't get updated until you either Get Info individually on each file, play the file, or modify the files. So realistically, there are no workarounds - the first two aren't realistic for a full library and the latter trashes your modification date and causes the refresh to take hours to complete if the library is on a remote server, rather than the ten minutes it used to take.

Hi,
I've written a script called UpdateTagInfo which should do the trick for you. Just select a bunch of tracks or an appropriate playlist and call the script. It will process each track, updating the tags if they've been changed externally. When complete it will tell you how many tracks were processed & how many were updated.

How do you make itunes your default media player?

On itunes 7, I have been looking everywhere for the setting that changes itunes to your default media player but I cannot find it. Can anyone please assist me since I do not know what I am doing. Sorry if i'm reposting.

this document might be of some help with that:
iTunes for Windows: How to make iTunes the default application for music and audio files

How do I make iTunes NOT check if it is the default player via registry setting?

I work in an a corporate environment with hundreds of employees that have iTunes and when iTunes is the default music player it conflicts with our Voicemail system (the voicemail system will email .wav files to people when a voicemail was left. Double clicking the .wav file from within our email client doesn't work when iTunes is the default music player).
Is there a registry setting to DISABLE iTunes from checking to see if it is the default music player?
Is there also a registry setting to set WMP as the default music player for .wav files for those people that have already set iTunes as the default music player?
Thank you.

I'm unable to isolate the problem here. When I play the file with mplayer, it plays just fine. But with the code above, it just does not wish to play..
Can someone please point out the error I am commiting.
Thanks

I'm using the code below to play a simple wav file in
Linux:I'm running the performance pack under Win XP, here..
         try {
             URL url = new URL("file", "", "/magichome/xruser/jmf/WindowsXPStartup.wav");
...Is that a linear encoded, 16 bit, stereo sample
recorded at 22050Hz sample rate? 4.81 seconds
(424,644 bytes), content type audio.x_wav?
The reason I ask is just that you do not mention if
you'd tested on any other OS, and I found a very
similarly named WAV of the above description on
my system and tried it with your code - and in
JMStudio.
It ran flawlessly in both.
But on running the above program ...
I get the following error:...
file:/magichome/xruser/jmf/WindowsXPStartup.wav
file:/magichome/xruser/jmf/WindowsXPStartup.wav
com.sun.media.content.unknown.Handler@1ee4648...
Unable to handle format: LINEAR, 22050.0 Hz,
16-bit, Stereo, LittleEndian, Signed, 88200.0 frame
rate, FrameSize=32 bits...
I'm unable to isolate the problem here. When I play
the file with mplayer, What is 'mplayer'? The default media player
of the OS?
..it plays just fine. But with
the code above, it just does not wish to play..
Can someone please point out the error I am
commiting.I cannot tell what the problem is, sorry. Just
thought I should check in and note there is
nothing wrong with the code, and that WAV
is sure understood by Windows based JMF.

How do you make a form and upload files?

i would kind of like a mini form, like failblog has. they have a pic, and then some comments, how do you do that? i don't need them to log in or anything, i'll just have a name section, then the comment area.
also how do you have users upload files?
even though i'm doing this for a class project, i'd like to do this part, to make it look more real. anyway, i want to have a form, i guess with name, e-mail, then i want them to be able to upload a file, but how do you do the uploading part?

Itunes not playing movie files

Hello,
I recently replaced my hard drive and restored my computer with a time machine back up. However, I have changed the preferences in Itunes so that the Itunes Media folder is still on the old drive (which still has OSX 10.6.3, connected as an external drive).
My Problem is Movie, TV Shows, and Video Podcasts are not playing in itunes. This includes videos I try to import and videos already in the itunes media folder.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

First, back up all data and then uninstall "DivX" according to the developer's instructions.
Then try this:

With itunes 11 ru on windows xp professional service pack 3 how do you make itunes play a song, mine doesn't respond?

I've looked for my library and it seems to be stored in a series of folders all labelled "previous itunes library" with a year. It doesn't seem to be able to access it because when I synched my ipod to this library itunes has justed emptied it, I now have a useless ipod.

Welcome to the discussions,
a manual backup should help to transfer your data and apps.
Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing and save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to the new itunes library.
See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After that, transfer your purchases the same way by choosing "transfer purchases", to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored again from the manual backup you made before.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Apps can be downloaded again for free, in case you missed some: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
