Music on slideshow says can only play on authorized machines
I'm putting together a DVD with photos that I have taken. I've imported several slideshows to iDVD without a problem but the last one that I have tried to add loads but has this message that comes up "Music on this slideshow can only be played on authorized machines". It lets me click okay. Will I encounter a problem later on?
The DVD is fine when viewing with Preview in IDVD 6. After it's burned and I try to play it on the tv, eight of the nine slideshows will play fine. It's only the big saved slideshow that is the problem.
Here's another real head scratcher............I've burned about 10 DVDs now and all of them are like described above except for one. That one DVD will open ALL the slideshows fine. Of course on that DVD I had forgotten to click "loop" so they could use it at the party without having to keep starting it over and over again. So now, why would 9 DVDs have the problem and one not have it? So it seems to me that it's not my DVD player for the tv that is the problem, but I have another DVD player on our downstairs tv so I will go check them out down there.

Can anyone help me?
I have been having terrible problems with my i-Pod Touch. I have very slow internet (often only 2 or 3 kb per second) but Apple seems to demand I do countless time-consuming updates. For this reason I haven't been able to update my iPod to iOS5........I have also had the whole run of errors when I connect my iPod to iTunes to update anything. I have had Error 13109, 5826, 1604 and 3194....but all of that hasn't bothered me too much as I manage to transfer music from CDs or computer files (podcasts from non-iTunes sources) and that's all I need.
All of a sudden yesterday, whilst continually giving me the error 13109 message, my iPod said I have no content in the music library. However, when I plug in the iPod to my computer and switch on iTunes I can see those songs are still there, and indeed I can play them. Until this morning I was able to play that content from my iPod through my loudspeakers that have an iPod dock - completely unconnected to my computer.
It just means that I can't play those songs when I am anywhere except connected to my computer - and that's not really the point of having an iPod is it?
Is anyone able to help me?
By the way, I should like to say that I am very new to i-Pods, and I already think it is absurd that a customer should be constantly obliged to update everything, and when things go wrong visit all manner of websites (and Apple Support Communities!) to hunt for solutions, and then spend hours and hours going into the belly of my computer, making changes, downloaded, syncing, re-booting and goodness knows what else to just try to get the product to do what the manufacturer said it would do when I bought it, without telling me anything about all this other hassle. I think it is shocking, or have I just been sold the only lemon in the orchard? I bought it in Mozambique and live in Zimbabwe - and none of these places offer support services.
tks for nay advice or commiseration you may be able to offer.........
Nick (aged 50, and ignorant).OK guys...no need to reply....I am resigned to never getting to the bottom of the syncing problem....I just go from 13109 to other error codes, downloading little umbrellas, putting th eipod in DWI mode (or something like that), restoring, getting anew error code, not being able to download updates etc. etc. - so I lost my patience with sitting in front of my computer trying to fix something I paid nearly usd 800 for (in my opinion the manufacturer should make it properly in the first place, or warn you about its faults before you buy)............
I synced my iPod to the computer, lost all my content ans restored only witrh what I had on this computer's iTunes - thus losing the countless CDs and vinyl I had converted to digital on my other ocmputer at home in Mozambique, which my current iTunes says it can't locate.
Am I really the only person who prefers to listen to music instead of spending hours and hours on the computer trying to fix this useless machne?
I wish I had never wasted my money on this thing. I guess it's just inappropriate and too sophisticated for where I live and for my simple needs (wi-fi and music only).
Very big thumbs down from this novice for the iPod Touch and for the iTunes way of doing things in general....... -
Burned CDs Only Play on Authorized Machine
I have recently bought a new PC and I moved my iTunes library over to the new machine and authorized it to play my purchased tracks. Everything seemed fine, I can sync my iPod and play all the purchased music on both the iPod and within iTunes.
I have successfully purchased more tracks on the new PC, but when I tried to burn them to a CD I found that the CD was not playable in a CD player. The CD is readable in the new PC and if I put the disk in the old PC I can import the tracks to the old system and then on that machine burn a CD that will play in a CD player!
The new PC will burn CD of non-purchased tracks fine and they can be played in my CD player, it looks as if when a CD is burned on the new PC with purchased music it is encrypted in some way.
I stress that both PCs are authorized to play the tracks that I have purchased myself.
Thanks,

But as I am sure you realize, your problems of burning "protected" tracks have nothing to do with the .cda files. Personally, I avoid purchasing "protected" tracks; they have no advantages and frequently cause annoying limitations.
Agreed, but if the tracks you want are protected only...
I could buy the CD and rip it, but then I would have a pile of CDs I don't really want. Hmm,so why am I trying to burn them on to CD? Because it's cheaper generally and I don't want the cases and sleeve notes!
I tried some further experiments over the weekend and found that the CD I burn on the new machine are not actually readable on the new machine! If I put them in the old machine they are fine and I can import the tracks!
I am desparate to ditch the old machine, but I can't while in this situation.

Recently can't play music samples on Amazon France (and Germany, though they've now gone over to Flash, which seems to have fixed it after (re)installing Flash Player) via their usual 'Listen to all' button. Can only play samples individually. Message says roughly RealPlayer not installed on my navigator (see box below), but I've changed nothing and have always had RealPlayer on my PC at least. The 'Aid' page is useless in that it does not provide any links to sites from which one could download whatever it is Amazon Fr thinks one now needs.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.amazon.fr (e.g. http://www.amazon.fr/Je-Souviens-Tout-Juliette-Greco/dp/B001PU6T04/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1277978559&sr=1-1)Hello Neil.
It has been reported by other uses that RealPlayer is having some compatibility problems with Firefox. I believe this is mostly notorious with RealPlayer Plugin Record Plugin, but it may be the same thing here. Please contact RealPlayer developers for support. -
The 'Shuffle' function on my iPod Classic no longer works on my iPod or in my vehicle (2012 Acura TL). It worked prior to syncing in iTunes using my MacbookPr .Now I can only play music sequentially. Can anyone assist?
Reset or restore the device.

I have all of my music loaded into iTunes but can only play the songs that I bought through iTunes. Am I doing something wrong or can I only use the iTunes player for iTunes music?
From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps! -

Should be able to go into your sound preferences and choose your output device, you can also try downloading Airfoil and try that, it's a pretty cool app.

I have downloaded 4 films purchased on my Ipad to my laptop but can only play 1. The other 3 do not have a screen symbol in the list and are called ie The Lion King - Extras. How can I play the films?
Hello Bagpus113
Check out the article below to troubleshooting issues with the sound for music and for videos. One other thing you can try is to convert the songs to a different format

I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?
It happens sometimes. Delete the current copies, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
While downloading click the download icon at the top right and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

Have content of iTunes on both Appletvs but can only play on one. Tv menu won't let me choose both locations. How do I correct this? ITunes Home Sharing is on. Multiple Airplay is on from the iTunes menu, too. Thanks, Taking too long to get music!
If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go -
When I was backing up files from my computer to my external drive, I inadvertently dragged my itunes library to the external drive. Now I can only play my library when my external drive is plugged into my computer. How do I get the library location changed back to my computer?
Your drive was used with a PC and formatted NTFS which is proprietary Microsoft format.
You need to install a third party program that will read the NTFS format.
There is various software from PARAGON, Tuxera and NTFS-3G
When you get the data off and have verified it to be good, reformat the drive either HFS+ for Mac use only, or for Mac and PC use then MSDOS (FAT32) for under 4GB files (best) or exFAT (for larger than 4GB files) is proprietary and Microsoft is appling for a patent, which would likely mean OS X won't be allowed to read it anymore without a licensing fee and you'l have to pay another third party software company to read the format, just like NTFS is.
The less you have to rely upon third party sources to read your drives the better, this way if you have a issue and need to read the drive on another machine you don't need the software, and a internet connection and a credit card and...and...and... -

I've purchased cartoon tv shows for my iPad. Prior to the new updates, I could play one at a time or continous. Now I can only play one at a time. It's annoying to keep changing it every five or six minutes. Is there a fix to get it back playing continous

What if I download music from my friends computer with his account and there's a song that shows up in my music library but I can't play it because it didn't finish downloading. What can I do to finish downloading it ?
You're right, it would have been covered under warranty. But because of the user damage, chances are there's a 200-something dollar fee . If you explain to them that it had a defect previously, they might replace it for you at no charge. **MIGHT**. But they would have to believe that it had a defect previously.
