Movie that used to play will no longer play?!?

I have several movies that were taken with a digital cam. and about half of them no longer play when I try to open them quicktime begins to open and then the rainbow pinwheel shows up indefinitely and I have to force quit? anyone know what might be going on? I'm grateful for any help thanks. ps. I believe this started right after I updated QT.

I've about had it with this iTunes thing.
Diane,
If you are looking for MP3s, I don't know why you've been shopping at the iTunes Store at all.  They do not sell songs in MP3 format, only AAC.
Why not look at other online music download retailers such as Amazon MP3 or Google Play who sell MP3 music.

    Hi 22chill,
    I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    So my I phone 4s volume has decided to pack  allowing only my phone to make sounds when I have an incoming call, I can also here fine using facetime and receiving calls. YouTube, soundcloud, any of I players will no longer play sound. I've restored the phone using iTunes on my laptop and checked all the volumes are turned up and the button at the left hand Side of the phone is in the correct position.

    Try inserting and re-inserting your headphones 7 or 8 times. Also try cleaning out the headphone jack in case of debris that might be interfering with the connection/disconnection.

  • IPad2 update to iOS6 will no longer play UTube: All my favourites that were previously viewed and saved with my iPad2 will no longer play. They can't be played via Safari either SOLUTION PLEASE (buy iPad3 which solves the issue isn't an option)

    IPad2 has been updated to iOS6 and will no longer play UTube favourites. These are favourites that have been previously viewed on iPad2 therefore I know the device is capable of playing them. This upgrade is no longer allowing me to use the device for the reason I bought it.
    Apple, I'm feeling as though I've been conned.
    My mates iPad3 on iOS6 plays all the stuff my 2 will no longer play.
    UTube via safari won't play them, all Apps I've tried have the same problem, a red band stating this video can't be played on your device OR flash player required. Has anyone got a solution???? Please don't write stating you have the same problem, I just want solutions. Thanks

  • Here is a crazy problem. My home movie will no longer play in iTunes.

    I created a home movie using Final Cut Pro X.  I shared it to ITunes.  The video played ok.  I then changed the name of the video under the "get info" tab in iTunes, and the thumbnail view of the video changed from the first frame of the movie to a picture of a film reel and the movie will no longer play.  I tried changing the name back to the original, shutting down iTunes and the computer itself, copying the movie, all to no avail.  I also tried accessing the movie from the finder, and it would not open using QuickTime or VLC.  Any ideas?

    The lack of a purchase date, although I am not quite sure why it happens, does not in itself prevent the track from being authorized and played.  However, since the account name is correct and they have disappeared from your purchase history, something may have been corrupted.
    Unless someone here has a better idea,  you should take it up with iTunes Customer Service.

  • When I import audio and move it into my timeline the project will no longer play?

    When I import audio and move it into my timeline the project will no longer play?

    The audio is a .wav file created in Audacity.
    The OS is Windows XP
    The verison is CS4
    I have included images of the Sequence settings and the playback settings because I was not sure what information you would need.
    I am not sure what you mean by waiting for the Audio to conform but I know I have imported the audio and gone back the next day and tried to place it in the timeline and it still did not work.

  • Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

    Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
    If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
    So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?

    There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
    I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!
    Before updating to 1.2, ask yourself... how bad do you you really want Tetris????

  • Lots of my music will no longer play after latest update

    Hello,
    I have a lot of music that will no longer play in my iTunes after the last update.  it doesnt happen with all my music, but a lot of it, and as far as i can tell, movies and tv shows are still good.  when i click on the song, it just skips forward over a lot of songs that it cant play until it gets to the next one that it can play.  to make things stranger, i synced my iPad to my iTunes, and the ones that cant play in my iTunes will play on my iPad.  when i try to open the song using QuickTime player, i get the following error: error -2002 a bad public movie atom was found in the movie
    what is a bad movie atom and why am i getting the error when trying to play an audio file, and why wont they play in my iTunes but will on my iPad.
    System: Win7 Ultimate 64bit AMD A10 8GB RAM
    iTunes : 11.4.0.18
    QuickTime : 7.7.5
    any ideas?
    thanks

    The contacts is saved on Google or Backup Assistance (Whichever you are using) and you can use ES File Explorer like I posted at http://community.vzw.com/t5/Android-Apps/Simple-way-to-Backup-apps-for-Hard-Reset/td-p/658707 , so you really wont loose anything but apps data...
    BUT, I am not saying that you do this if that is your only issue...  I was just pointing out that this is a good ideal to do with any Major Updates..
    If the contacts isnt linked again you should get the option to link them again once the OS boots, normally it checks and then prompt to link again..

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC will no longer play program after weeks of editing it

    Adobe Premiere Pro CC will not longer play my program when hitting the play arrow.  The first time I hit it will play.  But if I stop and then hit play again it just basically hangs up.  I've been editing this program for several weeks in Windows 8.1 with over 1TB of free disk space.  It would occasionally not play but if I restarted the program it would go again and I continued on.  However, now it has the problem on this program all the time.      Basically I'm not able to put the finishing touches on my program and have not been able to use Adobe Premier Pro for several weeks now.   I'm basically paying a 1 year subscription for a program that is not working correctly.  WHAT IS ADOBE DOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?   I see that there are countless people having this issue on the web, so I figure ADOBE is aware of this problem.    IS THERE A NEW RELEASE TO COVER IT?  IF NOT WHEN WILL THERE BE A RELEASE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?
    If I start a new program it seems to work ok... but I probably have over 100 hours into the current program... starting over from scratch would not be good.. and what guarantee would there be that the problem would not occur again after another 100 hours was invested into it?   

    Thanks for the suggestion, I will give that a try.   It didn't work to go back a few weeks on the first try.  As I get a chance I will try more saves that are further back.
    Adobe Premiere Pro is working for me for the new music video project I'm working on today.
    It's just this other program is large.  1/2 hour length.   If I push play it will work the first time.  Then after I stop, and move the cursor to another spot, as long as I wait 2 or 3 minutes for it churn away and update the monitor, then it will play again.    As long as I wait 2 or 3 minutes each time it won't crash.   If I don't wait and start pushing multiple play and stop requests it will crash.   My machine has 12G of memory and 1Tb free disk space, and runs at burst speeds above 4GHz.
    Several weeks ago I also had this problem.   I deleted all the render files and rebuilt them, and after that it worked for quite a while.  This time I've tried that twice and it didn't help.
    Maybe it has something to do with the order in which I render the sequences?    I might try that again, and experiment with the order of rendering.

  • Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

    ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
    1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
    2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
    3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
    Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

    Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
    That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
    There are two things to try before you upgrade:

  • After upgrading, my MP4 vacation videos will no longer play.???

    Just upgraded my old Leopard to Snow Leopard and quickly noticed that it takes 10-20 times longer to load some web pages, if they load at all. Also, I've had to switch to using Firefox to pay one of my credit card bills for this reason. And now I have noticed that the MP4 videos from my great vacation (stored in I-Photo) will no longer play. ???? Any idea what I can do? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Tarskforce.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

    I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
    I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
    Disheartened apple fan.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

  • About 1/3 of my 4100 tunes will no longer play.  Please help!

    Over the past year I have spent countless hours painstakingly adding appropriate track information, cover art etc. I like the tracks to be attached to the original album, not a best of. I also have a lot of extended versions, remixes etc which then have to be attached to the specific 12" or cd-maxi single etc and a lot of hard to find - hard to attach stuff. Needless to say - I don't want to do it again.
    Anyway - I just noticed that a large quantity of tunes (looks like about 1/3 of the library) will no longer play. Double click on them and nothing happens. No cover art - it's as if the song is not there. A look at the "get info" shows the track in the right place with everything pointing to where it should be ... but no play. To add insult to injury, I can't get them back by double clicking on the track itself in Explorer. It still will not play. And these songs are not corrupt. I have been playing them for some time now without issue. How can I save my library and information and get these tracks to play again.
    Side note: this has happened before, usually after an iTunes update and typically with only a few tracks, never this widespread.
    Please help!

    I have made it a standard practice to keep a copy of all music files - tracks under the Album -- at a separate folder location.
    Do you have such a back up location of your music tracks? If you do, I'd suggest to try this:
    Delete all tracks, that are NOT playing, belonging to one Album in iTunes. Then locate the folder in your backup location where this Album's tracks are located, and ADD this folder to iTunes. Then check to see if these play OK.
    If they do, then repeat the process for all the rest.
