My itunes says my spoken word file will not play on my nano. Why would that be?

I downloaded a spoken word file from audible and put it in itunes. No problems with that. But when I tried to put it on my iPod nano, I got a message saying that it wouldn't move the item because the item wouldn't play on my ipod. What would be the reason for that? I've played spoken word on my nano before.

On a CD player it isn't AIFF (unless you have a very, very special CD player), it is audio CD format (as Chris CA outlines). You can start with pretty much any format sound file iTunes can read but on the audio format CD it will end up as plain old linear 16 bit uncompressed PCM which has been the audio CD standard for 30 years.
If your CDs will not play on other players then there could be a problem with your CD burn. Try the usual things such as slower burn speed and better quality CD media. It is possible your burner is out of alignment and is burning CDs only your player can then read.

Spoken work files will not play even after importing/converting?

I have some audio files recorded on my Android phone with the basic recording app and the files play when I press the spacebar to preview them in Mavericks. However, after importing them into iTunes using various import settings, including the podcast spoken word ones, they just will not play. When I double click on the file it looks like it is about to play, the apple icon at the top switches to what looks like a progress bar, though it is different from other tracks that do play, and then it immediately switches back to the apple icon and does not play.
Any ideas of anything I can do?
Thanks.

I've found an issue with movies when the audio is IMA format. Is that the format of your audio?

Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11. The thumbnail of the movie shows but when selected only a exclamation mark appears. I rebuilt the library, thumbnails, permissions etc. I also found the movie files in the iphoto database intact and working. Please advise.

You're welcome.
Well believe it or not, that's exactly what the exclamation point means. Search the forum. I've been doing this a while.
Next, I have no interest, commercial or otherwise in Library Manager, I have no shares in the company that makes it. I didn't make it. It's not my software. You could give those guys a million dollars and I'll get nothing from it. I and other expereinced users have recommended it thousands of times on this forum for this problem. Amazing how often it works. Of course, a quick search would have told you that already.
Another: Believe it or not you can use the Rebuild Function of Library Manager for free. You don't need to purchase it for that purpose.
Y'all have a nice paranoid day now.

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! Why is my interests being put last and Sprint, Verizon

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one. I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country! These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available. THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!! THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one. But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business.

New MacBook Air, iTunes was working at first, now will not play anything

Brand new Macbook Air and after an unnecessarily complicated setup I finally had music playing the first day. Now it will not play music or podcasts. Cleared cache, restarted, up to date. I press play it changes to the pause icon but no time movement, no sound. I went through all the steps to fix the problem of not downloading any of my purchased music, but now that I have it downloaded it won't play, when it had originally.
Downloaded a podcast, won't play. Yay, back on the Apple forum once again.
The original selling point of Apple was simplicity and reliability, now it is more convoluted, un-intuitive and unreliable than any windows product out there and I never thought I'd say that.

you're not dimwitted. I wonder sometimes! lol
just checking on something first. when you try to
play a song in itunes, does that little
diamond-shaped thingy stay firmly stuck to the left? Yes
if so, next let's explicitly doublecheck your precise
itunes version number. in itunes, go "help > about
itunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up
from the bottom of the screen. (for example, mine
says "itunes 6.0.5.20") 6.0.5.2
if you've got an itunes version 5.0.0.35, 5.0.1.4,
6.0.0.18 or 6.0.1.3
... first let's check on this possibility:
iTunes for Windows: Audio files do not play in
iTunes 5 or 6
if you've got an itunes version 6.0.2.23 or
higher, or the compatibility settings thing wasn't a
factor for you
... then first we'll try a careful standalone QT 7.1
reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone
installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install
from there rather than online.) switch off
antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the
install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes
play audio properly again? Yes, this did the trick!
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone
reinstall, let us know what it says. include error
message numbers if you're getting any.)

I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.

I downloaded and audio book from itunes on my computer and it will not play

I downloaded Mansfield Park audio edition from itune to my laptop. I download went well but it will not play on my laptop. I have even tried deleteing book and re-downloading but same thing happens.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.

Certain .AVI files will not play audio using QuickTime 7.5

I have recently updated my QuickTime to QuickTime Pro 7.5. I attempted to play videos in my library and noticed that certain videos will not play the audio, but video is fine. I did not have problems with playing the videos with audio before the update.
I tried to do some research and many have suggested to install PERIAN 1.1. I have done this, but still no result. I have deleted a lot of important videos, because I assumed that they are no longer usable. I decided to keep most of them and figure out a solution. No luck so far.
Please help! Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I'm not really sure what to look for in QT's Movie Inspector, but here's what it says:

If Pro update were not suited for Intel Mac's, should I uninstall the update? If so, how do I do this? Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks again for the reply!

My USB Super Drive will not Play Red Box DVDs, Why?

Can anyone explain why my USB super drive will not play RedBox DVDs?

What Mac are you using with the USB SuperDrive?
Is this USB SuperDrive a third party drive or Apple's USB SuperDrive?
If this optical drive is Apple's own external USB SuperDrive, this only works with newer Macs that have no built-in optical drive any longer and WILL NOT work with older Macs that came with built-in optical drives.
Is the Red Box DVD a standard DVD or Blu-Ray DVD disc?

Word file will not scroll to printer in classic

I'm using microsoft office 2001. When I want to print a word file (using classic envir.), it stops until printing is completed. (I have a Canon i550 ). When working off (OS 10.2.8) Appleworks, the file quickly scrolls to printer and I can go on to something new. It used to work the same for word - not sure what happened after I opened a newer word file sent to me. I tried turning background printing on - it appears to scroll, but never prints. I reinstalled Office 2001, didn't work either. It's a home computer, not networked to anything else. Since printing works fine with Appleworks and OS 10.2.8 - I think there's a small glitch somewhere. Any ideas?
iMAC Mac OS X (10.2.x)

When you get messages from the Mac, you need to be sure what they mean, or post them here word-for-word, or both.
If you tried to set Extensions Manager to Mac OS (Base) and it complained, then either something is missing of your Mac, or someone has reconfigured it… either way, that needs to be sorted before looking at optional third-party installations, yes?
If it just seems to involve the Classic system that's probably good - anything that affected both Classic and X would probably indicate a faulty printer.
When you still get the same error message (M501) when you reistalled Office, which message was that, word for word, please?
If this was my Mac I'd be ignoring Office - the printer doesn't need Office to test or to work normally, and if only Office and no other apps are having print problems, that's 99% certain an Office, not a printer problem.
If your Mac won't let you set Extensions Manager to Mac OS (Base) then you need to use the Clean System Option in your latest OS 9 install disk to make a fresh System Folder and work from that.
The the Clean System Installation Option will give you a new working System Folder and the current one will be preserved alongside it, denatured and renamed as Previous System Folder but otherwise unchanged, so you can always go back to it.
Before trying the Clean System Installation Option you should physically disconnect everything except screen and (Apple) keyboard and mouse then Restart the Mac.
Make the Clean System Installation, launch that as Classic and install the printer precisely according to the maker's instructions.
If it doesn't work on that Clean System, it probably isn't going to, which will indicate either that it's faulty and needs replacing, or it simply isn't compatible with Classic.

Some Word Files will not open on Windows Server 2012R2

I have identical versions of Word 2010 on two different computers. One is Windows 7, and one is Windows Server 2012R2. The Win 7 is my primary writing machine but sometimes I need to open a Word file on the other machine.
Some of the files open fine on Windows2012 machine, but some give me an error:
"Word experienced an error trying to open the file." It then makes some suggestions for things to try, including Repair as I am opening the file, but none of these suggestions work. I keep getting the same error.
I cannot see what is different between the files that open fine and the files that give this error.
They all open fine on the Windows 7 machine.
I have tried do a full Repair on Microsoft Office and then rebooting.
The normal way of sharing the files is to copy from Windows 7 to a cloud location and then downloading on the Windows 2012 machine. But I have also tried emailing the file to myself from Windows 7 and opening the email on Windows 2102. I get the same problem.
What else can I try?
Thanks
