IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

  • HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

    Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

  • Error - "Cannot play movie: Movie could not be played"

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to stream an MP4 video on my iPhone 4 (OS 4.2.1), which I could do with no problems before. For some reason I am now getting the error "Cannot play movie: Movie could not be played". I have tested this URL on a PC web browser and it streams fine. I have tried over the 3G network and wiki... same result.
    Has anyone experienced this and / or has a resolution?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    take a look at this thread and see if it helps:

  • After activating "Click-to-play" plug-ins, I cannot open pdf files.

    In the latest release of Firefox, information about how to prevent plug-ins from loading automatically was in the release notes. I activated this in about:config. (Click-to-play).
    After that, I cannot open pdf files! When I click on a link all I get is an empty window. Reloading page don't help.
    What I can do, is to click on the button next to the awesome bar and set that plug-ins will always load automatically for this page. Then the pdf file loads.
    Another work around is to copy the link and paste it in IE.
    Is this a bug with "click-to-play"?

    Thanks cor-el. I have read the various bug reports and it is indeed the same. Has been known for a while...
    Anyway, I find no mention of the work-around: "Click on the button next to the awesome bar and set that plug-ins will always load automatically for this page."
    I don't know if there is a place to give that feedback.

    Hi Thornastor,
    Welcome to the forum!
    What is the internet connection you're using? Have you tried restarting the device? You can also re-install the application and check if this will be resolved. If it's still the same, you can contact the publisher of the Whatsapp and inform them about the issue. Please let us know the outcome.

  • ITunes Error: Cannot play bought iTunes movie from one day to the other "The selected movie won't play on your display."

    Hi,
    just a few weeks ago I watched on my new iMac 5k Retina a long-ago-downloaded movie (iTunes content, HD, Billy Joel. Live at Shea Stadium). I had no issues watching it on the new wonderful display just a few weeks ago!
    Today I wanted to resume the video and got the error "The selected movie won’t play on your display. This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).".
    Actually the movie plays for a few seconds and then the movie window gets black and the error message appears. Restarting iTunes does not help. Restarting the Mac also not.
    How can this be fixed?
    Additionally I get since I moved from my old iMac to the new one the iTunes error "Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?" every time I start iTunes.

  • Safari won't open or quit.  Cannot Shut Down.

    I have a 3 mo.old MacbookPro - OS X Lion 10.7.3 . Safari suddenly won't open or quit. I can't Shut Down; when I try I get an error message indicating Safari must quit first.  I use computer for just the basics -- web surfing,email, i-tunes, and just a few Word documents saved. So I still have most of my memory yet available, and have very few applications installed. Is there a simple solution to fix this and prevent it in the future.  So far I am not enjoying my switch from PC to Mac.  I have had far too many of these random, complicated glitches which seem to require an advanced degree in computer software to solve.  I appreciate any help. 

    Quit Safari (by force if necessary.) Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the page from reloading automatically. Select Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove all website data to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • Safari won't open web pgs, says cannot allocate memory - HELP?

    Just got iPod Touch, connected to WiFi, but any web page I try to open with Safari gives me the same message: *POSIX error 12, Cannot allocate memory. NSPOSSIXErrorDomain.* What on earth does this mean, and why can't I open any websites??? Grateful for any assistance! Thanks - lizmo

    I've never succeeded in opening a page yet! This is my first attempt. I get the same error message every time. Thanks for any help.

  • When I try to play certain songs in iCloud I get the error "Cannot Play"

    It says, "Connect to a wifi network to play name of song"  Why does this happen?

    Apple removed my previous post because I referenced jailbreaking which is a violation of the TOS.  Sorry about that! 
    That said, I can't think of any way to get around the file size limitation.  I suppose itunes match isn't really meant to give you access to play all your songs anywhere.  It instead gives you the opportunity to download your songs via wifi when you aren't at home.  I can't see that it makes any difference one way or the other to Apple but it obvioiusly would make a difference to the wireless provider. 
    So now, my question is whether this happens on with all carriers.  I have experienced this on AT&T.  Does anyone here have Verizon or Sprint?

  • People I send the files to cannot "play" with the interface.

    Hi,
    I've just bought Xcelsius 2008 and made a report.
    On top of too many bugs, I have a major issue: when I send it to colleagues for them to get their comments, they actually canot "play" with it.
    Can you help?
    Cheers
    D

    What format did you send them in?
    Are you sure your colleagues have the correct version of Flash Player installed? 
    Xcelsius requires Flash 9.

  • So i got this laptop today, and i'm trying to put my iPod music on it. i got the music but it only plays when my ipod is plugged into it. when i unplug my ipod, and try to play music, it says cannot play previous purchases... someone please help!!

    someone please help me!

    The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  Without syncing:File>transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your  old computer to your new one.

  • Safari won't launch, and can't seem to re-install

    Think I've got the same problem as Dr. Thunder and Mahamba. First, Safari won't launch, giving an error message stating 'Safari cannot open. Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important resources. Try installing Safari again.'
    Then, tried to re-install from the Leopard install DVD, Optional installs, and all Leopard apps seemed to install. Restarted and launched Safari, same error message. Went to a different Mac, downloaded the Safari 3.1.2, moved the pkg over via flash thumb drive, and tried to install. Installer gave error message stating I need OS X 10.5.2 or greater, and I'm on 10.5.4.
    Any idea what gives?

    *Hi atw4, Welcome (Back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    Try a reinstall of the 10.5.4 Combo Updater. Can't harm and sometimes does wonders.
    Good Luck, JP
