ITunes Server - iTunes does not play .m4a files

Hello,
when enableing iTunes server on NSS326 and connecting to it via latest iTunes, connect goes OK (The name of the server changes, but this is a known bug). The music files are displayed, but .m4a Files are not played back. .wav files are played back. .m4a files are played correct via iTunes when accessed via File System. Is there any fix for this?
Ognian

Found it,
looks like iTunes is very sensitiv to the tags info inside the m4a file. Get mp3tag select all m4a files, and hit Save. That's it. mp3tag saves the tags correct.

After moving my music library from my old mb to the new one, my new mb pro does not play the files evenly. It takes a break for two sec's and starts playback where it stopped. Ideas anyone?

I may have found an answer here:

They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

Itunes on W8 will not play any files after upgrade to 11.0.4.4

After following the prompt and updating Itunes on Windows 8 to version 11.0.4.4 on 6 June, Itunes no longer plays any audio or video files from my library. Pick a file and Itunes shows that it is playing (Pause button only) however nothing happens. The file simply does not play. Windows Media Player will not open any files. VLC will play flash video files but with no sound. Video played in IE10 seems to play ok including sound. Anyone have any suggestions. I can uninstall but figure I'll get teh same version when I re-install. Everything worked fine prior to installing this upgrade.

Resolved by running W8 System Restore to a point prior to the last Itunes update. Now back on the previous version of Itunes. Windows Media Player working correctly with all file types. Itunes working correctly also. I'm quite happy not to re-apply any updates from Apple for a while.

2Gen iPod Shuffle Does Not Play .m4a Songs

My 2Gen iPod Shuffle 1GB only plays songs that I purchased from iTunes (.m4p) and will not play any songs that I ripped to iTunes (.m4a). According to iTunes, I successfully transferred 80 songs on to my Shuffle. Under the Settings tab, it shows that all the songs are loaded and I have plenty of capacity available. Under the Content tab, all my songs are listed. I have the latest software version and have reset twice with no success. My iPod Classic plays the songs fine. I appreciate any help or suggestions.

Ian - thanks for your input. My bit rate was well under the limit. This is what I've found out so far. The songs that my iPod Shuffle do not play are the (.wma) songs I converted to (.m4a) using EasyWMA. The converted songs work fine on my MacBook iTunes and iPod Classic, but not the iPod Shuffle. I contacted EasyWMA and it was suggested that I convert the selected songs to either (.mp3) or AIFF. As an experiment, I converted some (.wma) songs to AIFF using EasyWMA and had iTunes convert the AIFF files to (.m4a). Interestingly - it worked. I have no idea why the Shuffle did not recognize the EasyWMA (.m4a) direct converted songs (especially since the iPod Classic and iTunes had not problem playing them) - but apparently the iTunes conversion does something that the Shuffle software requires. Still a mystery, but at least I now have a much wider assortment of music on my Shuffle than I started out with.
Thanks again - George

ITunes 9.2 does not show iTunesU files at all (iTunes 9.1 did)

Hi everybody,
After upgrading to iTunes 9.2, iTunes stopped showing iTunes U files I had moved to my 30GB 5th gen iPod (Windows formatted).
When I first move iTunes U files to my iPod, they show up in iTunes under Music, with iTunesU as the genre. This is fine, I know the firmware does not allow an iTunesU category for this iPod, and it is OK. But after using my iPod for a while, iTunes will no longer show these files. They are gone in iTunes 9.2 (this was not the case in previous versions). My iPod still shows these files, and I can play them just fine. But I cannot see them in iTunes, and I cannot delete them. (Can I delete files in my iPod without using a computer?) These files stay as Other under iTunes, and take up space, but they are invisible to iTunes (on Mac or Win).
I have already gone through one cycle of reformatting my iPod using iTunes, I don't want to do it again.
Is anybody else seeing this? Any workarounds, or is this a bug with new iTunes 9.2?

I am experiencing a similar problem, as well. I have downloaded some Apple Developer videos that I wanted (available on iTunes U) and converted them (within iTunes) to the standard def iPhone/iPod video format. I would check to make sure that you've
The weird thing is that the files sync'ed over into my library - and I am able to watch the videos just fine on my iPhone 3GS (running iOS 4 with iTunes 9.2 (61)). However, for the life of me I cannot get the iTunes U playlist that I created to sync properly with my iPhone. It copies the playlist name - which is a good sign - but if I go to it on my iPhone it's completely empty.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1) Verified that the iTunes U videos have been converted properly and can play on my iPhone
2) Verified that there are iTunes U videos in my playlist (which I have named "Apple Development Videos"
3) Verified that "Sync iTunes U" has been checked within iTunes - with the option selected to automatically include all items of all collections (although I have tried it by explicitly including individual iTunes U content and explicitly selecting the "Apple Development Videos" playlist as well)
4) Manually syncing iTunes with my iPhone - the "Apple Development Videos" list comes over, the videos in iTunes U are playable on the iPhone, but the playlist is still empty
To make things worse, I figured I would try manually adding the iTunes U videos to the playlist on the iPhone. When I do that, the videos STILL do not appear in the playlist - and when it syncs with iTunes I have a playlist that has duplicate entries.
Sounds like a bug to me; hopefully this will be resolved in the near future

ITunes 7.02 does not play properly on Windows XP Computer

I was given a 20 GB click wheel iPod in 2004. It went sick and I was given a new 30 GB 5th generation. Prior to updating iTunes to version 7.02 for Windows iTunes always worked well in playing from computer through an Onkyo stereo amp and speakers. With the new 7.02 it will jump to another song, (about 2400 songs installed) as well as a movie and a game. In addition, it jumps from one song to someplace else, not the next song on the list.
It does not do this on the iPod itself. It works as it should. Is this a matter of 7.02 not quite being ready for prime time, or is there something it requires that earlier versions did not and I have failed to grasp?
The computer has two gigabytes of DDRAM at 400 Mhz and 120 GB of hard disk space with almost half available. Sound card is Sound Blaster Audigy 24 bitX-Gamer.

I told you that I was embarrassed to ask the question re iTunes. In iTunes 7.02 in the control menu there is an item called "Shuffle." It was clicked, so it was doing what it was supposed to do, "shuffling." I never use shuffle, and have no idea how it was selected. I'll take the easy way out and blame Apple for making it a default when I made the upgrade to 7.02.
Moral to the story is RTFM and all menus and settingss.

I spoke to palm support they say they are aware of the problem at this time the pre doesn't support the wav file for voice mail . It is very important to me and I have been using this feature on my blackberry and my palm 755p I don't under stand why they would release a phone and not have the needed software for it .

ITunes 7.0 does not play my videos

When I upgraded to iTunes 7.0 it screwed up my videos. All of my music videos and almost all of my tv shows do not show the video. The sound is still there, but the screen is just a fuzzy green mess. How can I fix it?

Instead of using Safe Mode (GDI Only), you may want to conside unchecking the 3D acceleration as suggested in this article:

midnightraj said he had converted the mp4 movie to mov, and that this mov file played (albeit dropping frames) inside FCP X, so my perspective was in working with content thas was already inside FCP X.
I have no specific knowledge of xdcam, and it may well be that using the xdcam transfer tool is the best choice.

Nokia 5800: Does not recognize M4A files with uppe...

I use linux, and when I recently copied over two M4A tracks (I did not realize they had UPPER case extensions), they were not recognized during library refresh and did not show in the Music Player application. They did show in the File manager. Windows cannot rename such a file to .m4a, and neither can the 5800. The workaround was to rename the file to a bogus or no extension and then rename it to .m4a lower case.
This is probably a bug since the music player should be file name case insensitive.

Iḿ desperatly looking for a way to sync my Nokia 5800 under linux. Did you find a way? So far I once had a contection thrugh multisync but it ended with errors and i didn find any data transfered.
It is time nokia comes with Ovi or Pc Suite for linux ! Currently when I google on the subject I get a lot of tech talk and failures no clear working sollution. Can you help!?
