IOS 5.1 AAC encoded music with "High Efficiency" is not playing

Hello to all,
Since I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1, m4a tracks encoded in AAC with "High Efficiency" profile are NOT playing.
The tracks are playing correctly in iTunes on my MacBook Pro but they are not playing on the iPhone.
This is a serious and annoying bug because there are millions of users out there who encoded tjeir music this way.
So, now what? Do I have to re-encode my entire music library using the "Low Complexity" profile from the source CD's, again ???

Hello,
i saw no better result, but i did find a solution : i did buy an App reading flac encoded music. Part of my library was flac, part m4a aac+ ... i did rework from my Cds the m4a in flac, (400 in around one month) and that's done ... bad new : it takes more place on the phone ... good new : the sound is always perfect, as it's lossless and free of any brand (not an other m4a) ... good new (2) : i do encode only once (for my Tvix Dvico and my Iphone), so it's faster.
I think that Apple does not want to pay (anymore) for the Poiko codec, and that's why it does not work anymore since IOS5 ... there was in the (far) past a similar situation with a mp3+ (enhanced) created by Thompson ... very good but noone wanting to pay for it, so not used anymore 
The iTunes App Flac Player was around 8 euros and works well (not perfect, but good) and the small equalizer is fine. So that's a quick and not so expensive solution (compared to the amount of music not readable).
I don't thank Apple for this functionnal downgrade, it's anything but fair, but i'm back now in a free situation (no link to a Apple dedicated codec), and then may be more free to choose between I5 and S3 at the end of this year.
I hope that  this can help someone in a similar situation.
Regards,
Lampro

  • Is there some way to download music with higher volume? It plays back too softly.

    I downloaded a song for our tap class, but it doesn't play loud enough for us to hear it.

    That's what iTunes -> Preferences -> Playback -> Sound Check does - equalizes the volume across tracks to provide a more-even playback.

    ?My music and pod casts will not play. I have followed the instructions many times.  I would like to toss this equipment.  help please.

    What happens when you try?
    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 all media and resync
    - 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: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Music and voice over does not play in iMovie

    Music and voice-over does not play in iMovie

    I am having the same problem with my iTunes. Support had me uninstall everything and reinstall iTunes again thinking it was corrupt. I did that and it worked for a couple of days. Now they say that cannot help since it is iTunes and not my iPhone and sent me here. Sometimes I can get it to work sporadically if I reboot my laptop a couple of times, but I have rebooted a few times already and nothing plays...no song previews, nothing from my library. iPods and iPhone play fine, it is isolated only to iTunes and is super frustrating. I get the same task bar up top as if it were going to play, but the play timer doesn't start. Help please!!!

  • I updated to IOS 7 on my Ipad 2 and now videos will not play, they freeze and skip and will not play.

    I updated to IOS 7 on my Ipad 2 and now videos will not play, they freeze and skip and will not play.  Can anyone help?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • CDs I burn from my itunes 10 on my macbook with snow lepard will not play in the regular cd player.  How do I burn Cds that will pay in a reg old cd player?

    CDs I burn from my itunes 10 on my macbook with snow lepard will not play in the regular cd player.  How do I burn Cds that will pay in a reg old cd player?

    When the computer was new, I had the same issue I have now.  It was new and I could not burn to play on a reg cd player. Today, I can not burn to play on a reg cd player. Inbetween, I could not burn to play on a reg cd player.  I keep giving up and then trying months later.
           I have recently made the cds that play on the computer.  I have also tried in the last month to make a dvd copy, it played.  I have gone to people's homes and tried the cd's burned in my computer. They are not recognized.  This last round I have only used the cd-r but have tried many others in the past. I am running out of money to keep buying different brands, kinds, etc.  I figured it must be my lac of knowledge and am trying to get some new here. 
    Sincerely,
    Paul

  • Using Lion, recent Movies with .mov extension will not play in Quicktime, but earlier ones taken with same camera (Kodak M530) will play fine.

    Using Lion, recent Movies with .mov extension will not play in Quicktime, but earlier ones taken with same camera (Kodak M530) will play fine. I have got VLC which runs them fine but cannot get movies saved in iPhoto to play in VLC...and of course its a real bugger to copy moves from iPhoto to another folder; in fact if anyone can tell me how to do that I will accept defeat!

  • Music purchased from itunes will not play on nano.  shows up, but skips ove

    Help, all purchased music from itunes store will not play on nano, it appears but then skips to the next song.

    Hi there
    Welcome to Discussions
    It seems that you've posted your question in the wrong forum. This is the intel-based iMac forum. You will get a better answer if you post your question in the appropriate forum:
    iPod nano forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=154
    I don't know what generation of nano that you have, but I know that if you have a colored nano (blue, green, pink, silver or matte black), you'll want to post in the "2nd Generation" category. Otherwise (either white or black front and silver back) you'll want to post in the "1st Generation" category.

  • So i cant share any music with someone that is not near my house?

    My brother has a bunch of music that i want, but he is in some other part of the state>> so i can't share any music with him unless he is at my house?

    so i can't share any music with him unless he is at my house?'
    Correct.
    Sharing requires that devices and computers be within range of your Wi-Fi network. Home in this case.

  • Why will the Apple music app on my iPad not play certain songs???

    Hi,
    Suddenly I noticed that certain songs, that will play without problem within iTunes on my PC, and with no problem on my iPhone 4S, will NOT play at all on my iPad (MB293KS) running iOS 5.1.1...
    I have reset the iPad and then downloaded everything again, but the problem is till there. The songs that will not play are AAC-files and sampled in 44,100 kHz, 256 kbit.
    If I use a third party player on the same iPad, like Bongiovi DPS, the songs play all right!!! So it seems that something is really wrong with the Apple Music App on this particular iPad??? What can I do about this? Are there any other music player I should concider as replacements for the Apple Music App? (Besides the Bongioivi, that is...).
    Thanks!

    I have now updated to the new iOS 6.1, but still this problem persists! How is it even possible to be able to play the songs in iTunes, on my PC, and on the specified iPad, using for example the Bongioivi app, but NOT when I use Apple's built in Music app?
    So before the 5.1 upgrade, the songs were playing all right. But AFTER this upgrade, and still after the 6.1, they won't play???

  • TS1717 music video downloaded but will not play

    i just downloaded a music video, but will not play. Comes up as a blank screen. Any ideas ?

    Hi c, well my first thot is that it didn't install. You can verify this at www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    Just a word of advice, if you continue trying to implement a solution before you know what the problem is,
    you are just creating a worse situation.
    Post back with what operating system are you using?
    Which Browser and version?
    Post back with that info please and advise what the link said.
    Thanks

  • HT2188 all of my music on my iphone does not play, not even if i've downloaded directly from itunes

    My iphone has never played any music. It is there, but does not play.
    It is on itunes and plays on the computer.
    I have even downloaded music from Itunes directly on my phone, still doesn't play.
    I have restored this phone at least 3 times and that has not helped.
    any other suggestions?

    You need to authorize the new computer that youre working with. First hover over the store button at the top of the screen and then select the authorize this computer button then a popup will appear where you have to put in your Apple ID and Password. Hopefully this works for you
