Mp3 Players suddenly will not play on published website

For 2 years, the two MP3 included on one particular page successfully played when published within iWeb and then uploaded to the internet.
Today, upon checking the site, on this particular page, the MP3 players appeared with '?'. Whereas, on other pages MP3 players are loaded and could be played.
I have remounted the page several times to no avail, then went back to iTunes and re-loaded the two songs on separate Playlists and chose MP3 player file format to ensure I have good versions.
The two MP3 players were drag/dropped from iTune onto a new page where they play perfectly well, but upon publishing the page within iWeb, the new versions still would not publish.
I am at a loss as what to do next. This is a very well-visited page with 2 beautiful songs on it.
Why, after 2 years of successfully publishing and uploading this page to the internet, the two MP3 players do not function as noted above.
I apparently have enough web space, but my internet speed is low.
Would the low speed be a factor?
I know that during business hours, my time allotment wanes and have to wait until 2:00 a.m. to do the Media upload. Try to access my Domain Host techie takes several days meanwhile the page remains on website with dysfunctional MP3 players, which is not good for viewers.
I am now questioning if this is the problem, that is, low internet speed? That can be resolved by purchasing higher internet speed.
HELP!
Thank you, in advance for your assistance.

How are you loading the audio into iWeb?
Where are you publishing to - MobileMe or another server?
If you are using QuickTime and are publishing to a "real" server, make sure your audio file is present in the "media" folder on the server.
Have a look at this section for more information on playing audio on your site......

I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play, how do I get it back?

I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play. Itunes thinks that last time it was played was the time it "shorted" out and did not play. How do I get it back? Thanks.

Try deleting the entries from the Movies part of your library (i.e. where you are trying to play them) and see if you get the cloud symbol next to them for re-downloading in the Purchased link
As your screenshot shows your account id I've asked the hosts to remove it

Video slides in Captivate 7 that will not play once published

Hello,
I recently created an eLearning within Captivate 7 that contains several video slides. When published, the video slides no longer work and instead have a spinning wheel that will not go away. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really don't want to redo the video slides.
Thanks,
Wendyl

Hi there
Once you publish your files, they *SHOULD* be on your local hard drive. And it's odd, but things behave differently when you play them from your local hard drive than they will once you copy them to the Web Server that all your end users will be accessing the content from.
What was suggested was to copy the files to that Web Server and test from there to see if the issue persists.
Cheers... Rick

Voiceovers suddenly will not play. Waveforms present but no sound comes out. Suggestions?.

Making slide show from iPhoto pics. Voiceovers working fine, suddenly stopped producing sound though waveforms are present. Using external mike but tried internal mike to no avail. Mike works fine in Dragon Dictate. Manipulated waveform every wat possible to no avail. Any suggestions? BTW is there a limit to how many voiceovers one can put in a slideshow? Total length is 10 minutes.
Old Jim

Not sure why, but sometimes a project will just cease playback of Voiceovers added to it. I've seen this before, but never had it persist into a new project. As with any issues that are specific to a single project, it's usually best to start over, as one problem is quite possibly indicative of further issues down the line with that same project.
As a workaround (if you REALLY want to avoid recreating the project) would be to copy the voiceover files from within the iMovie Project file (browse to your Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder and right-click or CTRL+Click on the name of the project, then click "Show Package Contents") for that project out to your Desktop (or any other accessible location), then drag them back in to add them as a regular audio track. I've used this trick successfully, but it's not 100% (going back to the 'one problem means more later' thing).

Videos will not play on apple website error message says missing plug ins

DVD-R discs will not play on DVD Player

The DVD-R discs I made will not play on DVD Player Version 4.0.
I transferred VHS to DVD-R using an RCA VHS/DVD Recorder. The discs played well in 3 different DVD players but will not play on my i-book.
Please help?
New At This
i-book G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

In a nutshell the problem is the fact that the Software used by the RCA recorder is for PC.
When recording DVD's the software that is available varys greatly.
Some of the top of the line software gives options to burn PC only, MAC only, and PC or MAC combined.
It was also brought to your attention to use VLC Player on your Mac the firmware that is used with this player will sometimes allow for playing DVD's that were burned on these VHS to DVD Burners.
Here are a few tips that affect reading and writing DVD. This link is only a small amount of what can and does affect, I suggest you do a Google search to learn all you can.

Ipod will not play itunes music store purchased music

I know this topic has been discussed here before, but i still have yet to find a valid answer, so i figured i'd start another thread to see if anyone has found a solution yet. sorry for the repeat subject.
I have a 30GB ipod (with the 4 buttons above the scroll wheel) which suddenly will not play music which has been purchased from the itunes music store. everything which was imported from CDs plays fine. the songs in question play fine through itunes - both from my library on my G5, as well as from the ipod, so it does not seem to be an authorization problem. i've reset the ipod numerous times, trashed itunes preferences, updated to the latest version of itunes, and updated the ipod itself to the latest software version... all to no avail. when i select an itunes purchased album on the ipod, it simply cycles through, song by song, without playing anything.
I haven't restored the ipod to the factory settings yet, as i would like to avoid doing so because i will loose some music which i previously only had on a now dead ibook (faulty logic board). besides, i know from reading old posts, other people with the same problem have tried this as well, to no avail.
can anyone offer any other help/advice on how to remedy this problem? thanks in advance.

It appears that some songs in the iTunes store that were added to the store since the end of November will not play on 1st generation shuffles. They transfer to the shuffle fine but will not play. These same songs transfer to other iPods and play just fine. Many people are having these problems (see the Apple discussion boards). The only known solution is to burn the tracks to a cd and re-import them into your library (a royal pain in the butt). And, yes, I have tried all of Apple's recommendations and even went through troubleshooting with tech support over the phone. I was told they'd call me in a few days after speaking with their engineers but never heard back from them.
PLEASE contact apple either by the following link:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/ipod/
OR by calling the support number:
1-800-275-2273
Hopefully, with enough complaints, Apple will be forced to correct the problem. It seems to me (and quite a few other people) that something changed on the encryption/the way they are encoding new music in the store that has made the music incompatible with our shuffles.

Podcasts will not play iphone 5 in iOS 8

Using an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.0.2. Podcasts previously downloaded suddenly will not play. The play button is grayed from all sources, as are the 15-sec refresh buttons, both from subscribed podcasts and not-subscribed. I didn't knowingly change a setting, nor did I make any system changes since playing a podcast Wednesday morning and being unable to play one Wednesday night. Same podcasts play fine on my iMac & show as having synced on connection with the iPhone. So what's up?

Thanks for your suggestion, Selena.
The app is fully updated. I even tried to update it again today. I also checked to be sure I had the latest update to iOS 8.0.2, and I do. I'm wondering if I'll have to delete the app, reinstall, then reload all the podcasts I had stored.
I did check to see if the music on my iPhone played, and it plays just fine.
Quite perplexing!

IHome iA91 will not play music from iPhone 4

Hey everybody,
I'm having an issue that seems to be fairly common, but lacks a solid solution.
Whenever I dock my iPhone 4, the iHome iA91 will not play music. My iPhone continues to play music through its own speakers, but will not use the iHome's speakers. A message also pops up on my phone saying, "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone," even though the iHome iA91 lists the iPhone 4 as compatible. On top of that, it worked when I first got the iHome and now it suddenly will not play my phone. The volume bar on the iPhone also randomly disappears and returns while it's docked.
I have tried resetting my phone (home+power), I have restored my phone to stock, I have power cycled the iHome, all to no avail. The iHome speakers will still play the radio and alarms work as usual, and my phone charges without issues.
I'm getting quite frustrated and am desperately seeking an answer. Thanks in advance to everyone who reads or replies.

Hi Adam,
Try the steps mentioned below to resolve the issue:
1. Disconnect iPhone from Docking System, restart both the System and the iPhone and then reconnect iPhone to the System.
2. If this didn't helps, try resetting both the units. You can reset the Docking System by pressing RESET at base using pin pointed object like paper clip.
3. Also, try updating iPhone and to latest version and check if that helps.
NOTE: If iPhone has the case or cover, the device may not be set correctly. Remove the case or cover from the iPhone and set the device again.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accepted Solution".
Thank you for your post.

Quicktime videos on web will not play

on one website in particular, the quicktime videos will not play. on another website, they will.

This won't work because you have to pay to view the videos. However, I was told that others can view the videos.
I discovered that if I disable my security software, the Web protection part, then I can view the videos. I tried just typing in the website URLs as "exceptions" to the web protection, but that did not work. perhaps my security software firm can help.

Firefox 24.5.0 ESR will not play WMP 12.0.7601.17514 in embedded HTML on my website. I have the plugin activated.

The Windows media player movie will not play on my website. The extension on the wmp object is .wmv. I have tried several versions of code and activated and deactivated the Windows media plugins but I am still not having any luck. I also read that copying the plugins to a browser/plugin folder would work but no luck there. Microsoft Windows Media player plugin for Firefox. 1.0.0.8 is activated. I have deactivated Windows Media player plug in dynamic link library.

HI,
Thank you for your question, in order to further troubleshoot please see the following:

MP3 will not play once site is published

HELP!
Here's the issue:
Once I publish my site (to folder or .mac) the audio file I put on my site will not play when double clicked.
Here's how I created it:
From Finder I drag the MP3 onto my web site (in iWeb 08) where it gives me a Quicktime box that says "Drag Image Here". I drag an image (tried jpg and gif) to it and it embeds fine. I use the Quicktime inspector to de-select "Show media controller".
In iWeb, when I double click on the image it plays the MP3. When I publish it (to a folder or .mac) it won't play the MP3 when double clicked. I've emptied Safari's cache and tried it on FireFox with the same result. Per the help file, I'm doing everything right and it says:
Quote "Show movie controller: Select to provide visitors with playback controls (pause, fast forward, and so on). If you deselect this checkbox and deselect Autoplay, your visitors can play the movie or audio by double-clicking it."
If I set it to autoplay it does work.
So what the heck is wrong!!!!????

You need click the "Provide iWeb Feedback" in the iWeb drop down menu and let them know about this one.
I would never have thought of setting up an audio file like this anyway. Some people seem to have difficulty finding the "play" button - how are they going to think of double clicking?

Creative MediaSource will not play certain MP3

I have a Creative Audigy 2 NX with a remote that I really want to be able to use. Programs such as GIRDER, WinLIRC, and uICE do not support the RM-500 remote control.
I can't figure out how to control the remote beyond editing and creating key files that send ASCII commands, but the problem with that is I cannot control programs that are not currently acti've. In other words, I cannot control winamp if I'm playing a game with my remote, which is what I want to do. The KEY files are structured as this:[KeyEvent690 etc]KeyName=whateveryouwantdisplayedNotification=- or 2 or 4KeyEventRemap=this is the important partHandleByApp=i don't know what this doesAnyway, if I set notification to -, I can send ASCII commands-- BUT these will not send to programs not currently on top. If I set notification to 2, as Creative did in their Winamp .x key file, I could control the program even if it is not on top-- BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE KeyEventRemaps NUMBERS SHOULD BE. I cannot find this information, and I have tested as far as I am capable of doing manually (tested numbers through 500 MANUALLY).So what I want to be able to do is use my remote to control winamp, but that is impossible. And Creative MediaSource will not play streaming audio (for God knows why...). So what I decided to do was record to an MP3 player with a third party program and play that MP3 in the Creative MediaSource software (the built-in recorder will NOT work, as I cannot structure that into a playlist nor can I play the recording media nor can I minimize the program and mute the feedback-- I can only record if I'm playing, and this doesn't work). The first problem I encountered was several programs would not output MP3s that were playable as they were being recorded, however I finally did find one. This program, 3aLab iRadio, allows the MP3 to be played back WHILE simultaneously being recorded. The only problem is that this the Creative MediaSource software will NOT play the mp3. Out of the 5 different MP3 players I tested, ONLY the Creative MediaSource software would not playback the MP3 as being written. I cannot figure this out, and I am at a loss as to what to do next. I realize that Creative won't support streaming audio with their player, MediaSource, but what I like to do is listen to streaming internet radio as an item on my mp3 playlist in winamp. I wish to be able to control this with my remote, but as I cannot find ANY WAY out there to control my remote as I wish without further information, this is a dead end. My alternati've is to use the Creative software for which the remote was designed to work, but unfortunately this does not support streaming internet radio nor does it support MP3s that are being written to. This is driving me insane.
What I want to be able to do is have a playlist that I control with my remote, with the first item on the list being internet radio, the 2nd and such on down being MP3s. In winamp, this is doable, as well as in Windows Media Player, and most MP3 players out there. Since I cannot do this in Creative's software, I need a workaround alternati've. PLEASE.
So, in conclusion, is there anyone out there who can either tell me how to control my remote directly by identifying what the notification=2 keyeventremap=configuarions are, give me a program like girder however which supports the RM-500 remote, or tell me how to get MP3s that are being written to (aka incomplete) to play in the Creative MediaSource software?
Thank you very much for your time.

Discs burned from iTunes 10.1 will not play on some Sony CD players

I'm having a problem with 32 bit iTunes 10.1 (on Windows XP sp3) where burned discs will not play on my Sony CDP355 or CDP400 carousel CD players but will play on a Sony CDP455. Discs burned with earlier versions of iTunes used to work fine with these players (I think). Also, these "incompatible" players did not recognize the disc as one containing CD text. In fact, they would not read the disc at all.
My friend running 64 bit iTunes 10.1 on a Windows 7 machine doesn't have this problem with discs she burns. They will play OK on those exact same players.
Burned files seem to play OK on most of my other CD players and I have confirmed the files are CDA format files (not MP3).
I had selected MAXIMUM SPEED, AUDIO and INCLUDE CD TEXT in my burn settings.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for this suggestion. I reduced the burn speed to 12X (my burner is 48X maximum) and made another copy. It works just fine. I'll experiment with higher speeds later but for certain the 12X speed solved the problem.
