I can no longer play movies since upgrading to iOS8. The videos will flip to the play screen then immediately flip back to the selection page.

I am using an iPAD2 with 32gbytes on iOS8.1.1.
After upgrading to iOS8.0, the movies I had on my iPAD no longer would play. When I select a movie, it changes to the play screen, then immediately flips back to the selection screen. The movies are in the :movies" category. I tried to reclassify them to "home movies" under the INFO option, but it is grayed out.
I did just copy another movie and it automatically was classified as a "home movie" and it play just fine. My guess is this has something to do with the category it is in. However, I cannot change the categories on the previous movies.
Any help is appreciated.

Can you record and play new VMs?
Can you sync them to your computer?
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.
- 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 a back that was made then the VM played back. See:
iOS: How to back up

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

After upgrading iTunes I can no longer play my songs. It says that "The song ________ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have NO clue where to look.

After I recently Upgraded iTunes I can no longer play any movies or songs. It says that "The song ______ can no longer be playe because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have no clue where to look as I'm not tech savvy. I did look in previous itunes libraries file and it's empty. Any and all help is appreciated.

The links below illustrate how your iTunes should look if you use default settings in preferences. If you don't use those settings then you have to know what you're doing.
Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
The above links also illustrate the Media folder and its subfolders. Look for a file in there in the logical structure by folder artist and album. If you're lucky, linking one file will get an offer to link others and it iwll all come together again.
I see you are running OSX 10.5.8 it would help to know which version of iTunes you use now and which one you used before.

Since upgrading to ios8, pages very slow to load, and can no longer read items in my reading list when offline. ?????

SI since upgrading to ios8, Safari pages are very slow to load, Kindle crashes upon opening, and I can no longer read saved artices from my reading list when offline. Big disappointment. Is it possible to downgrade to previous ios?

I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

Quark XPress 8 has a few of those PPC only tools, too. Like they they forgot to update them or something.
They were already at v9 when Lion came out and decided that official support would be for v9 only; see here.
According to this, the only thing PPC in v9 and v8 are video encoding for SWF export -- looks like an XTension according to System Profiler. Given their position of not officially supporting v8.x in Lion, that will probably always remain broken in v8. I use v8.5.1 in Lion; works fine for me -- I don't do any SWF exporting.
I have a few other things on my MBP, recently upgraded to Lion; I upgraded just about every app to the latest versions with exception of Quark. The only other PPC things besied that XTension are some scripts from Adobe Illustrator CS5.1, which got installed with CS 5.5. I guess Adobe forgot to upgrade those. No biggie, I never use them.

I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component. It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

Can no longer play music that I previously purchased

After performing the iTunes and Quicktime upgrades last night, I discovered today that I can no longer play songs that I previously downloaded from the music store. I also cannot preview any songs in the music store, and I'm assuming that if I actually tried to purchase a song that it also wouldn't work. When I try to play a song from my iTunes library that I previously purchased, a window comes up saying that "this computer is not authorized to play this song" and requires me to enter my password. After I do that, it generally comes up with a message saying that machine authorization is successful, and that I have 2 machines authorized, although it requires me to do this every time I try a different song. After the supposed successful authorization, it starts "accessing the music store" (which makes no sense to me since these songs have been in my own library for over a year) and ultimately comes back with different error messages, including "We couldn't complete your music store request...The music store is temporarily unavailable" or just simply "there was an error in the music store" or "an unknown error occurred." The error numbers vary - 5555, 403, etc. Why is it even trying to access the music store when these are songs that are sitting in my own library?! Now iTunes is simply closing unexpectedly. I know I'm not the only one (to say the least) having problems, and I hope someone figures it out soon since we all have hundreds of dollars worth of music on our computers that we can't listen to. Unfortunately, I plugged my iPod in today to update it, and I'm scared to even find out what's been erased from it.

Alli hello,
Quit iTunes...
Download Cocktail and start the program... click on the 'interface' Icon and tick 'Show Invisible Items' then click the Restart button...
In a finder window click on the Icon that is your Boot Volume in the Side Bar ... select users ... select shared folder ... select the folder named 'SC info' and put it in the trash and empty it ... Do Not touch any other file.
Pathway looks like this HD > users > shared > SC info > SC Info.sidb
Go back to the Cocktail 'interface' window and untick Show Invisible Items and click restart .. quit Cocktail.
Start iTunes after deletinng this folder and it will prompt you to enter your authorization information again ... see now if your problem still exists...
Let's know how you get on Alli ... take care ... TP

Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov file

Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov files from a Canon G11. I get a thumbnil which is a triangle with !. If I right click I can open it with Quick time. I cannot import any of the files into iMovie as it does not recognize them in Aperture or iPhoto. From other dicussions I tried removing 3ivvxVideoCodec.componenet from Quiktime Library and retarted with no success, so iI restored the file.

You are welcome;
there is another problem with videos, that might apply in your your case, when you reimport the videos, after you deinstalled the codec - the location you are importing from, and the permission settings, see this post:
Re: Aperture cannot read newly imported video since Lion upgrade.

Can no longer play audio files embedded in a PDF

I can no longer play embedded audio files in PDFs in version 11 for Windows XP (though I could on an older version). The audio will not play on my Mac either. How do I fix this?

I should add that these are mpgs of a television series. They were made with QuickTime Pro 7.6.2 or .3 just before the new iTunes and Snow Leopard came out. I can open them with either QT X or QTPro7 on the Mini and they play fine. I don't know where to point the finger since they play through iTunes fine on the PPC Leopard Mac and not the Intel Snow Leopard Mac. It could be how the new tunes works with the OS but those kind of hooks are harder to find than they were back in the old OS7,8,9 days. I'm not meaning to be an old bloke longing for the old days cause i love the magic of technology.

Installed Flash 10.2 and can no longer play Flip vidoes on Flipshare

Hi, I'm looking for some help please as have got very frustrated and wasted far too much time on this! Thanks!
I yesterday installed Flash 10.2 (specifically 10.2.159.1) and now can no longer play Flip videos on Flipshare. I had no problem with this on my previous Flash version (10.1 something I think), and also I don't seem to have issues with videos on other sites eg YouTube, BBC etc.
I am no expert but have tried everything I can think of. Have uninstalled and reinstalled (several times), have tried in Firefox (same problem), upgraded to IE9 from 8 (same problem), did a full Windows update for Windows 7 (same problem), added the site flipshare.com to my safe list (same problem), checked the Add On in Tools (it is apparently installed and Enabled). I am now out of ideas and would very much appreciate some help!
What makes this doubly frustrating is that I only installed 10.2 in the first place because I was trying to help my mum to install it over the phone so SHE could view Flip videos of our small baby (her first grandchild). She is on Vista and probably had a v old version of Flash which I thought was causing her problem (she could view them OK up to about a week or so ago), but now neither of us can play them!
Any help or ideas very much apprecited!
Thanks!!!
Lep 533

Many thanks indeed for trying to help!
Yes that is the right site, it's a site where you view videos shared by people with a certain type of video camera (a Flip).
Yes I can see the Flash animation on the login page fine, how odd ...
And yes when I right click a video that has been shared with me I can see settings and global settings (and in fact went in there to disable hardware acceleration, but when I did it made no difference). In fact I can see the first frame of the video and it also shows the video's correct length in minutes, but when you press play the screen goes blank and nothing happens. As I think I mentioned, before I installed 10.2 I could play the same videos from this site with no problem ...
Thanks very much again for replying, hope you can help further!

Updated to iTunes 7 and can no longer play music off my iPod through iTunes

The title says it all. I can no longer play music from my iPod through iTunes now that I have upgraded. When I click on my iPod there is a little black lock beside where it shows the disk usage.
anyone have any ideas. I like some of the new features of this version of iTunes but it really seems to be a few steps backwards.

That little lock usually indicates that the iPod is set to autosync. In order to play iPod content through iTunes, you have to be on manual sync.

You have two choices to try & fix this: 1. Backup your phone, then restore as a new device, then restore from the backup you first created, or 2. Follow the advise from this poster:
I had the same problem with the black blocks after upgrading to iOS4 on my iPhone. The reason for the black blocks is that the thumbnail images for those particular images have not been created when the Photo Library has been updated to iOS4. I followed the advice on a couple of blogs and fixed the problem.
1. I downloaded iPhone Explorer free software (http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/) so I could view the photo data folders on my phone. I could see that the thumbnail images were missing.
2. I followed a slight variation on the instructions on this blog. (http://blog.mbentley.net/2010/06/iphone-ios-4-upgrade-restore-lost-pictures-in-c amera-roll/)
3. First I copied the Photo Data folder by dragging it from the iPhone Explorer window to my Mac desktop.
4. Through iPhone Explorer I deleted the info.plist file in the Media/PhotoData/MISC folder.
5. I also deleted the Photos.sqlite and PhotosAux.sqlite files in Media/PhotoData.
6. I then rebooted the phone and launched the Photo Library.
7. The Library rebuilt it's self again and recreated the thumbnails.
8. The problem was fixed!!! Thank you M Bentley!
I hope this helps - this has been bugging me for 2 weeks.

Can't post photos on Facebook from iPad since upgrading to ios8

Since upgrading to ios8 I can no longer post photos on Facebook from existing photos on my iPad 2. Is this a problem connected to the upgrade or something else? Also, since the upgrade my keyboard sometimes freezes up and I have to refresh the page and start over and lose whatever I had been working on. Also an ios8 issue?

Roddy
I hate to sound obnoxious, and I really do appreciate your efforts to help me. The link actually is not what Facebook normally does. Yes, the thumbnail goes to your FB profile. But if you had pasted almost any other link in the link publisher, you'd get a second thumbnail and a L/R arrow that allows you to scroll through the graphics posted on the linked site and pick one to serve as a thumbnail from your website. Then, had you linked to a page with a long and cumbersome address, you'd have seen the link "cleaned up" aesthetically so that you would not see 4 lines of URL, but a tidy site title and abbreviated link. That's what I'm missing, and scrolling down that iWeb interest page on Facebook shows a lot of others with the same issue.
But as I said, earlier, I really have about stopped caring and am planning to take Ethmoid's advice and can iWeb altogether and look to some other arrangement for managing my site, though I find it ironic that I was urged to dump iWeb by people on the Apple discussion board!

Can no longer play windows media files

I recently upgraded to version 10.6.8 of Mac OS X and I can no longer play embedded Windows Media files using Flip4Mac (version 2.3.8.1) on Safari or FireFox. Any suggestions on a workaround?

You might need to reinstall it, have you tried that?
