My iTunes doesn't play cds. The same cd works fine quith quicktime. Why?

As in the title. I have the latest iTunes on OS X 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro. The disk is regularly mounted and seen by the finder. I can also play it with quicktime. In iTunes when I ckick the arrow to play it nothing happens. If I try to import it I get error -50.
What can this be? Dosn't seem an hardware issue!

I tried some music I purchased on iTunes (High Tide > Time Guages and National Lampoon's Lemmings > Highway Toes) in FCPX. Both worked.
FCPX does not handle MP4 very well, but it will try — your files are probably actually .m4a files. They need converting. Right click on the audio in the Event Browser and Transcode Media (Optimized). FCPX should convert the file to WMV format (that's the native audio for FCPX.)
FCPX (10.1.4) converted the audio automatically when I imported (even without setting the transcode option) both when I dragged the file in from the finder and when I imported via the import dialog...
If you're still faced with the same problem after optimizing, open the song up in iTunes. Right click on the song in your playlist and select Create AIFF version and try importing that.
BTW: you are not automatically licensed to use purchased iTunes music as soundtrack audio (not without paying royalties or other obtaining other permissions.) The license you get from an iTunes purchase is for personal use only.

I've tried BT Desktop Help, but this simply sends me in the direction of standard advice pages. I have no reason to think the settings are wrong.
Could anyone suggest what is going on here please?
Hi. Welcome to the forums.
For starters, the recommendation by many people is to uninstall BT Desktop help.
If this has always been the case, rather than a sporadic issue, then it could be an account problem that seems to plague some accounts - and has done for years. Hopefully the changeover from Yahoo! to Critical Path will cure this particular issue. Try the other settings mentioned by Keith.
Even though some accounts are fine, there is still a possibility that your local security software can interfere. For example if you have email scanning turned on - then this can be turned off to see if that helps.

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
Thanks!

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

ITunes doesn't play to the correct output device

Background
I have an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop running Vista Home Premium connected to a Xbrand 360 Universal Docking station via USB. Bose Companion 2 Series II speakers are connected to the dock via a 3.5mm miniplug and cable.
Problem
iTunes output goes to the laptop's built-in speakers while all other sounds go to the docking station connected speakers as desired.
Detail
More specifically, when tested from Windows Control Panel the tones emanate from the Bose speakers. On playing iTunes, songs continue to be output to the laptop's built-in speakers. Windows Media Player directs the output through the dock to the Bose speakers. Streaming media through IE 7.0 also plays through the dock to the speakers. Windows sounds play through the Bose speakers. Disabling the laptop speakers in Windows control panel has no effect. I have followed instruction from Xbrand, the dock manufacturer, to select the Bose speakers as the default speakers in Windows Control Panel. They acknowledge integration issues with Vista and suggest this as the work around. I have found no options in iTunes preferences or elsewhere that direct playback to different media except some AirTunes stuff which I ve deselected. Crossfade, Sound Enhancer, and Sound Check are also deselected.
A remedy is greatly appreciated.

I thought I had rebooted the laptop but apparently I had not. Restart solves the problem.

Itunes doesn't play cds right

Every time I put in a cd, and play it, the computer starts making a loud noise, and cpu usage goes really high. Then, it plays the music really slowly, then freezes up. I have deleted alot of stuff on my hard drives, and nothing works. HELP ME!!!!

Ok, update. I was going to painstakingly covert my m4a files to mp3s and during the process of doing the first cd I discovered that while playing the first converted song, now an mp3, GoFlex Access would play the following m4a files. Now this is really weird. So the GoFlex Access app can play the m4a files but only once the player starts streaming an mp3. Selecting any individual m4a I still get the unsupported format message.

All videos I play through Firefox are skipping but the same videos work fine in Safari. I am using the latest versions and patches. Help?

Other details? Umm, I'm using a Mac. Never had problems before version 4.0. It happens on Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, GomTV, among other video sites. I loaded the same videos in Safari and they play fine.

Please try to re-install your firefox browser or maybe you must get the latest version of mozilla firefox browser, here >> [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new]
And you can try to re-install your Adobe Flash Player too and get the latest version here >> [http://example.com http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/]

After I updated to IOS8 my iPod 5 charger stopped working, it randomly shuts off when I have the charger plugged in and also when the charger is plugged in, it doesn't charge. The same charger worked on my iPod when I had iOS7. Please help!

ipod 5 charger isn't working after updating to ios8

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable. iOS 8 seem to make the iPod more sensitive to marginal cables.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

When I go to a signin page of a website the remember passwrd button will not allow me to click on it in Firefox 11, the button pops up but is not active. the same site works fine in chrome. Is there a fix for this?

am running win 7 64 pro - tried going back to firefox 10 with same results. all the tools options are set to remember passwords

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox. 
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder. 
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action. 
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost. 
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.

Wrong XML parsing in Java 6.0 , the same code works fine with Java 5.0

I have the following xml data in a file ( C:\_rf\jrebug.xml ) :

Attribute name is =output4 AND Attribute value is =ff[511]
Attribute name is =output6 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]]
Attribute name is =output7 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]
THE LAST TWO LINES ARE SIMPLY WRONG.
With java 5.0 the last two lines are parsed correctly :
Attribute name is =output6 AND Attribute value is =gg[15]
Attribute name is =output7 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]
I have seen this issue only after I upgraded to java 6.0. I have searched the java 6.0 bug database but there is nothing there.
I have also submitted a bug to the bugdatabase last month but have not heared anything.
Anybody have any clue about this ???
Thanks

I have seen similar issue. I found that if you remove the square brackets from the first line in teh XML file, the last two lines are parsed correctly.
Replace the follwing line : :
Attribute name is =input3 AND Attribute value is =aa[1]
with :
Attribute name is =input3 AND Attribute value is =aa
and the output is CORRECT :
Attribute name is =input3 AND Attribute value is =aa
Attribute name is =input4 AND Attribute value is =bb[1]
Attribute name is =input6 AND Attribute value is =cc[2]
Attribute name is =input8 AND Attribute value is =dd[7]
Attribute name is =output2 AND Attribute value is =ee[7]
Attribute name is =output4 AND Attribute value is =ff[511]
Attribute name is =output6 AND Attribute value is =gg[15]
Attribute name is =output7 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]

Many website will not open pdf files with firefox yet the same pages work fine with internet explorer default app

Typically, I have to use the default android internet app to view pdf files on my android. The last page I tried was my progressive website to view my policy documents. Firefox just does nothing when I click on a pdf file. When I go to the download folder, the file is there but has 0kb size (or empty). The default android app goes right to download and shows up in the top android status menu showing it is downloading.
This problem has been around for a long time now and is still not resolved.

Here is one I just tried. It works on my ipad2. When using my android, the file shows up in the download folder, but as usual it is an empty file. Even when the pop for "view file in cloud viewer" is choosen, it loads a blank page.
http://www.carlsalter.com/harley-service-manuals.asp
then choose the 2nd file in the list, file named "harley_davidson_flh electra glide 1970 owners manual v2_2"

Can't edit an excel file and can't save it in excel 2010, but the same file works fine in 2007.

I am trying to save an excel file in 2010 version but I am getting the following error:
Errors were detect while saving <File Name>.Microsoft excel may be able to save the file by removing or repairing some features. To make repairs in the file, Click continue. To cancel saving the file, click Cancel.
On clicking continue, I am asked to save it again and then finally I get the following error:
Excel encountered errors during save. However, excel was able to minimally save your file to <file Location>.
This file is saved successfully in 2007 version of the software.
Any help on this error would be highly appreciated

Hi,
Based on my research, this behavior can occur under any of the following conditions:
You save an Excel file to a network drive where you have restricted permissions.
You save an Excel file to a location that does not have sufficient drive space.
The connection to the Excel file has been lost.
There is a conflict with an antivirus software program.
You save an Excel file that is shared.
The 218-character path limitation has been exceeded when you save an Excel file.
The Transition Formula Evaluation feature is turned on in Excel.
The file was created from a template that contains embedded objects.
To troubleshoot an Excel save issue, you can refer to the following links:

I bought the company unlocked phone from apple store Canada. It was originally loaded with software 4.2 and was working fine here in SaudiArabia. Yesterday I updated with IOS 5.0.1. Now it is showing that sim is not valid. The same sim works fine in other phones.

Here's and update on my problems and here are are some screen shots of the types of problems I've been having since the v5.0.1 update. Keep in mind these are native apps and I have tried the rebuild phone crap many times, nothing helps.
This is screen shot of a what happened when I tried to use my camera one day, both the front and back cameras were all black. I had to power cycle the phone to get rid of this problem. The cameras appeared to be working correctly, I could focus and zoom but it was all black.
Here is an image of what happened when I searched for something in a map. This is after I picked the choice I wanted, the keyboard disappeared but the list didn't. I had to force close the app and restart it for this problem to go away. Who knew five bars on ATT was possible.
And finally this is the messaging app, although you would not know it. I had to return to home screen (after a long pause for it to process the button push) and return to the messaging app. This happens all the time with the messaging app and the notifications sounds drive me crazy. If i'm using the phone, say browsing the web and I get an incoming message its almost 100% of the time the messaging app will screw up. The sound will play at the wrong time or not at all, message will show up in notifications and diasapear in message app or Ill have a problem like this:
