Movie won't play from start to finish

I'm an idiot I know but I'm editing my first movie and can't find the answer to this in the online brochure. Here's the problem:
1. I've assembled all of my clips in the video track.
2. Have not inserted any transitions because I was having trouble with the "overlap" transition. "Add" button was grayed out.
3. Whenever I try to play the movie to see how all the clips work with each other, the movie ends at the end of the first clip. I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what!!! Can anybody help me out there?
I'd buy you a beer if you were here!

Carl and Sweet Polly,
You guys rock! That was it, I only had the first clip highlighted. When I highlighted everything the movie played from start to finish. Also, learned something new too. I couldn't get the overlay transitions to work so I rebooted, upgraded to os 10.4.11, upgraded Quicktime and now they work. Thanks for your quick response! I probably won't through my computer off the balcony for at least another day now! : > )

TS1362 songs i have purchased on itunes will not play all the way from start to finish....

a group of songs from different artist will not play from start to finish and will skip to the next song 3/4 the way through the song...

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Why won't iTunes just PLAY an album, in order, from start to finish?!

Very confused....I can't get an album to play through iTunes on my Mac anymore. It used to work just fine but now, no matter what I try, every time I try to play an album iTunes just picks one song at random from the album and plays that. It won't move on to the next one, even if I try to press the button to skip to the next track. It always seems to play the same track and won't let me do anything!
It's really annoying and I can't see what is different from before I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Getting thoroughly disheartend with iTunes lately; wish I had never bothered downloading the latest version-it's horrible!
Can anyone out there help with a straight forward and not-too-technical explanation to help me to be able to play an album, from start to finish , in the order it was made without having to mess about? I am not used to the whole "Apple" way of working yet- previously had a PC with Windows Media Player which worked really easily. iTunes is infuriating me so far!
Thanks!

Open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar and View>Show Status Bar. This will make the new version appear more like earlier versions. Then go to the Controls menu at the top, choose Shuffle and click "Turn Off Shuffle" (if it shows this).

I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have-I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button-how and where would I put this "play all" marker??

The start chapter button is a play the whole movie button regardless of how many other markers you have.
Once a DVD starts playing it continues to the end.
Chapters marker simply gives the viewer a place to start playback whether it be the start, middle or near the end.

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.

Audio won't play from the start of the slide

Good afternoon all,
I'm new at this and recently created my first instructive
demo. I recorded and have everything synching up fine but the audio
in two of the slides WON'T start the audio from the first words
recorded. The audio begins in the middle of the second or third
word spoken.
This only happens when I play the entire demo or from a
certain point in the demo to the end. If I play the two slide with
the audios indiviually you can hear my every word from start to
finish and if I play the audio ONLY I hear it fine also.
I have tried starting the audio a few seconds after the
screen being demonstrated starts, re-recording the audio, adding
silence in the beginning.........................anyone have any
suggections. I've done everything I know to do but start over from
scratch.........I didn't say that...........LOL!

My suggestion was going to be ensure the audio file starts a
second or
two after the slide starts, but seems you're already doing
that.
So if you've tried all those things and no luck, then I'd
recreate the
slide entirely.
Insert a blank slide, copy the background from the problem
slide to the
blank slide ('paste as background'), then insert the audio
and test it.
If it works as expected, then copy/paste any other screen
elements from
the problem slide, then delete that problem slide.
Helps?

HT1349 I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot play the songs in order, they skip around randomly. The shuffle feature is off. All I really want to do is play an album from start to finish.

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot play the songs in order. It will skip around or just stop playing the song currently playing when it is finished. I just want to play an album from start to finish. The shuffle feature is turned off.

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

How do you play an album from start to finish without mixing the songs?

I may be old-fashioned, but I want to play my albums from start to finish without having the songs mixed. I have tried almost anything, but it kips jumping randomly from song to song on an album. Extremely annoying if you are listening to a concept album like Berlin by Einstürzende Neubaten!!

Either I am a complete idiot (which could be :-D ), or I have done something that disables the functions you are describing. I have taken screenshots of available menus on my iPhone:

Trapcode Particular: Keeping the same amount of particles from start to finish?

I'd like to move some particles along a motion path, but I need them to start and finish with the same amount. What I'm doing is moving a "comet" along a motion path. The particles making up the comet are custom particles of a logo element that I want to move throughout a specific scene.
That part is no problem. I'm just having problems creating - say - 50 particles - and keeping that number from start to finish. Right now the comet keeps emitting new particles. Any setting I've tried either removes or adds too many particles or changes the shape of the emitter. Nothing I've tried seems to work.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Ray

Should be no problem by keyframing the parameters, so it's not clear to me where you are having problems. The simplest way to get an exact number would be to use a Layer Grid emitter - set it to the desired x and y density in the Options, then set the number of particles to match that value (which apparently only can be x multiplied with y), then animate the Particles/sec. property to only give one burst, e.g. by setting the number to a few 100 first and after only 5 frames animating it to zero. During those five frames all particles should have had a chnace to be born. For the actual path simply use the Motion Path option in the Air physics model based on a light. Either that or you will have to balance out the Inherit Velocity from Motion option with Air Resistance so the particles seem to swarm around the emitter. Likewise, you could use a Radial Field to capture and constrain them...

Quicktime movies won't play on Apple Website

I formatted my HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Last night and this morning I was watching the videos on http://www.apple.com/business/theater/#activecorners?sr=hotnews.rss, but tnight when I went back there, the movies won't play, nor will any other movies on the entire website. All I get is a Quicktime Icon with a question mark in the middle of it. I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro 7 installed, with Pro in the Utilities folder.

After loading the AppleMPEG2.Component into the Quicktime folder in the Library, everything started working again. I'm not sure if that's what made it start working again though.

QTVR Movies won't play properly in iWeb

QuickTime VR panoramic movies won't play properly. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of iWeb page I use. The movies respond normally when opened with QuickTime Player. The seem to fail only when placed into iWeb.
First, there are no VR controls visible. What controls there are don't respond when clicked. Second, the mouse curson doesn't change when moved over the movie placeholder. Third, the only image within the movie placeholder is the first frame.
I tried several QTVR panorama movies with the same result. I also verified that none of the available movie controllers will function. I have already searched on QTVR in this forum and found none of the few suggestions offered to work.
Any new ideas?

We've recieved your file and got it to work in iWeb. Here's what to do:
As always, place a text box in iWeb the size of the dimentions of your QTVR movie. Put some text in the box something like "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE"
After Publishing your site locate your "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE" text and replace it with
<embed src="http://URLWhereYourFileis.mov" width="320" height="240"></embed>
Another way you can do it is store the QTVR file on your host. If you are using .mac you can store it in your sites folder or Web folder. From the sites folder the URL for your file would be homepage.mac.com/YourUserName/YourFolder(if any)/YourQTVRMovieName.mov
Then place a hyperlink to your files URL in your iWeb page.
Here is the working QTVR file in an iWeb page:
http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/IniWeb
Or if you'd like you can you can hyperlink to http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/twofish.mov

Movie won't play in or outside of itunes

I recently purchased Marvel's Avengers. The movie won't play in itunes or in any other program. I've tried deleting and re-downloading it. I don't get an error message, I just click play and nothing happens.
Sometimes it will flash the pause button briefly, but then it goes back to the play button, and the movie doesn't start.

Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:

My movie won't play past two minutes and thirty-seven seconds. What do I do?

Hello Bdev15,
I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too. I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network. For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network. Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:
