N900 unable to use media player and camera

I just received my N900 like a few hrs ago and I was testing the features but when I tried playing one of the songs on the phone a message popped up saying "unable to play media. Audio is in use by another application". I didn't have any other application opened at all I also tried to use the camera and the same message popped up, still no other application was opened.
Another problem I noticed was when I receive a call even after pressing receive call the call still does not pick up...still rings on the other end but when I press end call it hangs up on the caller sending the call to voicemail. But making outgoing calls is no problem.
I'm a nokia fan and loved all my past nokia phones last one was the N95 and still is working  fine after 4yrs this is the first time I'm having such problems and am disappointed especially since the phone is new.

even with the latest firmware, 3.2010.02-8.002, you cannot talk on the phone or listen to music and take pictures.  its a bummer, but i hope they fix it.
i even tried to put the phone in silent mode to cancel the need to use sound, but you still get the same error.
so, for the now, best just to pause the music when you want to take pictures.

  • N900 Media Player and Camera not working

    Hello,
    I am having some problems with my phone which I think might be related to gstreamer.
    When I open the camera cover and the camera tries to launch I get the error message "Operation failed". Media player also does not work, I can see the media files but when I try playing them nothing happens.
    I used gstreamer to capture images for an application that I created and it has always worked fine until recently, when I started noticing the problems with the camera and media player.
    Between the time everything was working and now, this is what I have done:
    -installed OpenGL ES 2
    -installed Qt
    -copied a bunch of screenshots from the phone to my Mac (i think I just did it through bluetooth but I might have used the usb cable)
    Here is what I have done to try to fix the problem:
    -connect the phone via usb to a windows computer, rightclick the n900 icon and error check (as recommended on this forum)
    -update the firmware using app manager
    -reboot
    -type dmesg in the terminal after opening the lens cover - that did not output any errors
    Could this be related to anything other than the gstreamer? If it is the gstreamer, should I try reinstalling it?
    Any help would be appreciated
    Best,
    Eyrun

    Thanks. The reason why I haven't done that yet is that the gstreamer libraries came with the phone as I got it and I am not sure what needs to be installed. It seems like there are many plugins and something called totem-gstreamer that I might need additionally. Do you know of any good references for how this should be done for N900? I haven't been able to find one. Also, I do think it is a little bit strange that all of a sudden gstreamer would stop working, that's why I wonder if it could be something else?
    Best,

  • Playing back Recorded TV Programs using Windows Media Player and only hearing Sound from Front Speakers

    Hi All,
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit Service Pack 1 with Windows Media Player 11 installed.
    When I click on one of my Recorded TV Programs to watch and hear, I can only hear the Sound coming from the Front Speakers.
    When I right-click on the Program and open it up in Real Player Cloud. I can indeed watch the program and hear Clear Sound coming from all 5 Speakers plus the Subwoofer.
    What setting do I change to use Windows Media Player and have sound coming from all 5 Speakers and the Subwoofer?
    Thank you!

    Hi Andreas,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The link you put up, takes me to the page, but
    "The requested URL /surround/www_lynnemusic_com_surround_test.wma was not found on this server."
    That was WaterFox.
    The webpage cannot be found
    This in Internet Explorer 11.0
    The Files in question were Recorded by Beyond TV to my Local Hard Drive.
    When I open the recording in Real Player Cloud, installed on my computer, not streaming over the Internet, I hear it correctly played.
    When I use Windows Media Player, nothing can be heard from the Rear Speakers.
    Speakers and Hardware are working fine.

  • What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  The drive works fine when I burn a CD using Media Player.

    What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes.  I have reinstalled several times but it hasn't changed this error message.  Why am I able to burn a CD using Media Player but not iTunes?  I am using Windows XP and I have burned cds from iTunes in the past.

  • Can I have my itunes play on my windows media player, and on an MP3 player?

    I have a library of music, videos etc on windows media player and am comfortable using it, so my question is can I export my itunes to play on media player.
    I also have several MP3 players, and would like my itunes to play on them. Everything I read on itunes if about iphones and ipods, and macs. I have just an old cell phone, MP3 players, and a PC?

    Yes. Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library and point it to the folder where the music is stored. Start with one folder so you can see how it works. iTunes will add whatever is compatible.

    iTunes is only designed to sync Apple devices. However, the songs in your iTunes library can be used for other purposes. Follow the instructions that came with your player.

  • Safari, Windows Media Player, and Proxy Servers

    I'm trying to watch streaming video of comedy central's Daily Show but its not working. I hit play and I get "-19422" in the play bar. I can't find anything about this anywhere online. I used to be able to do play these videos on my old computer but have had no success. It has to be in Windows Media Player format. I have Windows Media Player and have streamed from other sites. The only thing I have found is that the comedy central page requires a proxy to view streamng video. I have contacted my ISP and they say no such proxy is needed and I should be able to view the page. Am I suppose to guess on the proxy server? The comedy central site says it supports safari and apple computers but it doesn't seem like it. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any ieas for solving this problem?
    PS- This is what comedy central says.... Also my ISP is Time Warner Cable's RoadRunner
    "If you are on a Mac, make sure your Player is set to only use the proxy, and disable TCP or UDP checking as this will cause timeouts.
    If you choose the Use proxy option and do not know the proxy server name or port number you should use, contact your Internet service provider or network administrator. "

    Hi,
    The videos work fine for me with Safari 2.0.2 and OS X 10.4.3. The section of the help file you quoted appears to be referring to a corporate firewall setup rather than a typical home setup - you shouldn't need to change any of the defaults for Windows Media Player.
    A Google search for that error code you received mentions Flip4Mac in a couple of places - do you have that installed?
    If so, try disabling it to see if that is the cause of your issues.

  • Want to download information but tries to do it in media player and says not possible, want to change setting but how???

    When I try to read an internet document in PDF or another format it tries to read it in Media Player and then says it's not possible. This means I cannot access information I need. I looked at every Menu I can, including Help and cannot change this setting. Please help me, I've obviously inadvertently chosen this option and now can't unchoose it. Please help me, it's very frustrating!!

    Thank you. Actually I stumbled across that solution myself last night, really not having a clue but browsing through all the drop down menus and did what you said. The only option that seems to work is if I use Internet Explorer. Haven't downloaded any documents yet, but hopefully it will work next time.

  • Windows Media Player and OS X - No sound

    Hi,
    I am running OS 10.4.3 on an iMac 20" 1.8. I have the latest version (9) of Windows Media Player and have been using it fine for the last while for times that I can't use anything else. Suddenly, last week it would not play audio on any of the video clips I have. When I launch a WMV file, the player gives me the message:
    "This file may not play correctly because it was compressed with a codec that is not supported".
    These are the same files that played fine last week, and still play fine on my MacMini. I have deleted WMP and reinstalled it. I have deleted all preference files that I could find and the WMP codec file in the Library/internet plugin folders, and re-istalled again. No luck. I keep getting the message and the file plays with no audio.
    Any suggestions from some of you wise Mac users out there?
    Thanks,
    Tyler

  • Firefox using over 2 million k memory when using media player classic

    Hi I have used Media player classic for years for videos but I have had this problem for over a month now when ever I watch a video with it with firefox open the memory usage of firefox max's out and locks the pc up now I have changed media player but I was wondering if there is a fix as I like media player classic

    Hello,
    Do you really mean Media Player Classic? Both [http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/files/ the original] and [http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli2/files/ the fork] are no longer being developed. You should use the latest version of Media Player Classic Home Cinema. I've been using it for nearly a decade alongside Firefox with no issues. You have a 64-bit operating system, so be sure to get the 64-bit version.

  • Safari opens with a pop-up 'update media player' and starts to download it.

    Mid 2010 iMac 8Gb memory. OSX 10.9.5.
    Each time I open Safari a pop-up appears telling me to update the media player and asks me to click OK. the progress bar shows it is trying to download it from kgezz.easyddl.hairdreer.xyz. I quit Safari asap. General info from searches (in Firefox!) shows media player updates are used to put Trojans or other malicious control software in place.
    What is the best course to take? I feel I should remove Safari and all files associated with it so it can be reinstalled but CleanMyMac2 doesn't list Safari in the programmes that can be removed completely and I'm aware just dragging the app to Trash doesn't remove all associated files, which may be causing this problem.

    1.Quit Safari.
       Relaunch Safari holding the shift key down.
    2. Delete Cookies
        Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
        Click “Remove All Website Data”.
    3. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
        Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
        Turn on those one by one and test.

  • Apple TV as a media player and karaoke

    I am thinking to get one as my media player and karaoke, can I switch audio from stereo to left or right mono? What format does it play? Quicktime only? Thanks

    Here are the specs you asked for...

    As far as playing only the left or right, you'll have to have your audio system or TV take care of that balance, assuming you don't want to unplug anything.

Will you be so kind to tell me where I have to look? Because I am no expert. Or is it possible that I have to activate anything in PE? It is first time that I will work with PE 9.
    Further information: The original sound of the Mini-DVD is 5:1 surround. After first problem I have changed Nero to export in Stereo, but this did not solve the problem.

  • Windows Media player and flash player conflicting

    Hello,
    I have a problem with watching streams (television programs)
    on the internet. I think this is caused by conflicting roles of
    windows media player and flash player. When i don't have installed
    flash player i can watch the streams. When i install flash player,
    i see only green and red blocks on the respective screen. I don't
    know where the problem lies. I have installed Windows Media player
    again, (also Flash player) but this hasn't worked. The streams work
    with Mozilla firefox.
    I hope you could really help me,
    Sincerily,
    Tuncie

    Hi Tuncie
    Verify that Windows Media Player is not set as the default
    player for all content in Firefox including Flash.
