ITunes 7.7 won't play WAV files

  • ITunes 10.5 Won't Play wav Music Files

    I installed iTunes 10.5.0.142 on Windows 7 64, SP1 and I can no longer play wav music files which have been in my library from the beginning. I have a mirror Windows 7 client that has iTunes 10.4 installed and it still plays the wav music files. My iTunes library is on a Seagate BlackArmor NAS device, so both clients are accessing the same music files. The problem is that iTunes 10.5 refuses to play the wav files, but iTunes 10.4 and all previous releases of iTunes played them without issue. Could someone advise on how to solve this problem, or is this a defect with iTunes 10.5? I  downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 for Win on October 11th.
    Also, after installing iTunes 10.5, I synchronized my iTunes library on my iPhone. The wav files play fine on the iPhone, but not on my Win 7 client with iTunes 10.5.
    Thanks for your help.

    I just downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5.1.42 and all of my problems have been solved.
    All audio books now play
    All wav files play
    Tinny sound reported by others seems much improved with this update
    The updated version of iTunes launches much faster on Win 7 64bit SP1The download and update for 10.5.1.42 ran smoothly and the install/upgrade worked the first time.
    Thanks to all who helped.

  • ITunes 11.4 won't play mp3 files but quick time plays them

    I have a huge collection of music files from the nokia store which I got for free (an offer for lumias). When tried to import the music, Itunes refused to import some of the files. They are all mp3 formatted and QuickTime plays them. It tried converting the files with VLC and some of them were imported but the rest won't convert. Can someone tell me why the files won't import and how to import them? Also, can someone tell me how to get iTunes to automatically get the aong info?

    Yes, you can change the extension sometimes and it may be enough to make something playable.  WAV can hold various codecs including mp3 encoded material (http://www.nch.com.au/acm/) and changing the extension to a wav that has mp3 in it may be enough to trick applications into reading the mp3 inside.  Of course if it isn't mp3 inside then changing the extension won't work. 
    I use a utility for a specific task but it produces only .mov from mp3 format material.  It is mp3 codec material in a .mov wrapper.  Now as far as I know there aren't any tools which will repackage mp3 codec in .mov to .mp3 without completely recoding the audio which is highly undesirable.  If I rename the .mov to .mp3 my lossless mp3 editing tool will accept it, though sometimes it needs additional laundering to get it to work smoothly.  The end result is a clean .mp3 produced without loss but it does involve tricking the editor into thinking it is working with a pure .mp3.

  • 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"?

  • Pure Music software player is not working with iTunes 10.4 and Lion 10.7 playing wav. files.

    Pure Music player from Channel D software will not work when playing wav. files after updating to Lion OS. I can open the application as usual but after playing one song it will not advance to the next track either on its own or manually. The scrolling track name goes dim and I cannot get the play button to respond. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Thanks Limnos, but unfortunately the same error still remains.
    The disk was OK.  Permissions had errors along the lines of groups should be 0, is 80.  I repaired that.  Tried again to open, then reinstalled (new download again), but again the same problem.
    I checked permissions again and some of the 0-80 errors came again, but no clear reason from there I think
    Was also a SUID warning on ARDAgent but I see online that doesn't appear to be something abnormal.
    I tried reloading Lion but the installation came back with software appears to have been tampered with (I think the dmg file is gone as I couldn't find it).  I then went to email to report a problem so I could download again but of course that whole process doesn't work because itunes wont open.
    So Stuck
    if there is anything else I might be missing?

  • New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files

    HELP! - New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files. I just did the automatic upgrade to the new version of Quicktime and now I can't export WAV files from a CAF file. The original .CAF file plays perfectly but when I attempt to export it the exported file is corrupted and won't play. I have another computer with the previous version of Quicktime and it exports the same file flawlessly. Anyone know what's going on with the new version? THANKS!

    +Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\nb.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.+
    More often than not, that sort of message indicates file damage rather than a privileges issue on the file.
    If you've got Windows XP, try doing a chkdsk over your C drive, as per:
    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    If you've got Vista, try the following procedure. Go "Start > Computer". Right-click on "Local Disk C:" and select "properties". Click the "Tools" tab. Click the "Check now" button in the "Error correction" section.
    Do the disk checks find/repair any damage? If so, does an install go through properly afterwards?

  • Itunes and quicktime unable to play music files

    I have an Apple Mac mini (Intel Core Duo - 1.66GHz, 1.25 GB RAM) that I just upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    After upgrading, itunes (newest version) won't play any audio files (aac, mpg, aiff). Neither will the new version of quicktime (x).
    The older version of quicktime (7) will play the files, as will VLC.
    Is this a bug, or was I not supposed to install Snow Leopard on a machine this old?
    Has anyone else run into this type of problem?

    As M has noted, the more info that is presented in the question the quicker you will get a constructive answer. No one can read anothers mind. It is an art to write what ones thought are.
    I will assume that you mean "default" as being your internal speakers. To change your sound output - assuming that is your question - go to System prefs and select SOUND. If there are any other sound output options then it would be listed and you can make your selection of speakers.

  • Front Row won't play .mp4 files

    I just recently started using Front Row and, for some reason, it won't play .mp4 files. The said files are in my Movie folder and show up in Front Row's "Movies" menu, but when I try to play them it says "Selected video could not be played, format was not recognized."
    Please help!!

    iTunes only supports MP4s encoded using the Main Profile, but many MP4s that you can download from the web are encoded using High Profile. These need to be converted.
    You can use an app like VideoSpec or MediaInfo to list the encoding characteristics of your MP4s.

  • Can iPod play WAV files

    I have the All Music Converter and have converted some of my iPod music files to WAV. However, I can't get iTunes to accept the files. Can iPod play WAV files? Does anyone know how to get them to transfer into iTunes? Thank you.

    Uncompressed WAV files are on the list of compatible formats, has there been any compression applied to the files you have converted?

  • ITunes rented movies won't play on my PC.  "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include.  So I downloaded QT but movies still won't play.  HELP

    iTunes rented movies won't play on my PC.  "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include."  So I downloaded QT 7 but movies still won't play.  HELP  Very frustrating.

    Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else!  Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
    Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
    The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
    Any ideas anyone?

  • Blackberry 8330 - can't play wav files - Red X and "unknown error occured"

    I have a client that started having an issue with her blackberry after we moved to BES Express 5.02.  Her .wav file association on her computer was changed so she couldn't play .wav files on her PC.  Then she stated getting a red X on her phone when trying to listen to the Cisco unity voice mail messages that are attached to emails.   
    I was able to correct the issue on her PC by re-associating the .wav file with windows media player.   However on the blackberry, the .wav file still will not play.  Is there a file association section on a blackberry device?  If not what else might be the issue?   she is the only person having the issue.  I don't use a blackberry so i don't know the menu options very well.
    Thanks
    Steve.
    P.S.
    Oh, The phone was factory reset before being added to the new BES, Service books and IT policy Applied correctly.   I could pull the phoen and reset it again but I don't know if that would correct the issue. 

    Hi - I am now having this same exact problem on my Mac laptop.   I have many Breaking Bad, etc TV shows that I purchased through itunes & have watched over the years & now all of those, as well as, any new shows I purchase will not play on my laptop.    Just same as above person -- a black screen that appears to be playing movie (the timer is actually playing)  but no video or sound.    Shows / Movies all work fine on my home computer.  
    On my laptop it keeps saying .. "Not authorized to play .... & then says  "Sign into Itunes.. "   - but I  do sign out & sign  back in & still nothing happens.   Very annoying and frustrating as I  can ususlly figure things out with perserverence and trial & error. 

  • How to Play .wav files in Safari?

    Hi:
    I need a little help.
    I would like Safari to play wav files instead of downloading those file to my Downloads folder. Can this be done.
    Thanks,
    -AstraPoint

    Greetings,
    I would like Safari to play wav files instead of downloading those file to my Downloads folder.
    Can this be done?
    Maybe. First, what is the URL for a .wav file you're trying to play in Safari? I want to test this before I say whether or not it will work.

  • I have just updated my iTunes and it won't play any of my songs. What do I do?

    I have just updated my iTunes and it won't play any of my songs, It will say that it is but the time does not move along and the sound does not play. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but it hasn't worked. What do I do?

    Hey B Noir!
    Changing the 3D worked for me!
    I am so glad that I ran across your post. I had been reading "solutions" to this problem all day, and most of them said to install/unistall/re-install itunes! No way! I knew there had to be an easier way, and you had it. Just a few clicks, and that was it.
    Thank you for your help!
    God bless.

  • Error Playing .wav file on RHEL 4 using JMF

    Hi,
    We are using jmf api to play wav files on our application deployed on rhel version 4. But we are receiving the following error
    **"Cannot find a Processor for: myfolder/myAudio.wav" --->
    this exception is comming from javax.media.Manager
    throw new NoProcessorException("Cannot find a Processor for: " + source);"**.
    Any ideas what could be issue with this, am I missing some drivers/processor for wav files? I did a default jmf studio installation.
    Thanks and Regards

    If we take a look at the supported formats page...
    [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html]
    And the WAV file is supported by the cross-platform pack, AKA, jmf.jar.
    If you're unable to open a WAV file, I'd say it's most likely because you don't have JMF.jar on your library path. You can fix that at runtime with the switch -djava.library.path=<whatever>
    That's what I would say the issue is.

  • I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.
