Nano Plus no longer plays any wma fil

I've had my Zen Nano Plus for over a year, and during that time it played both MP3 and WMA files with no problem. Now it won't play WMA files. I can transfer them to my player but it just skips those songs. This includes WMA files I downloaded from Limewire and from my CD collection. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If the WMA files are protected, they need to be transfered via Windows Media Player or Creative's software, otherwise the licenses won't transfer properly and the player won't play them. The Nano Plus does not support subscription music. I don't know anything about Limewire. The default on Windows Media Player is to create WMA files with protection. If you want to make WMA files from your CDs without protection, you need to change the setting in Windows Media Player.

  • Itunes will no longer play any film?

    I have recently reinstalled and authorized Itunes on my computer but i can no longer play any films which i have previoulsy paid for and downloaded?
    any ideas?
    Thank you,
    james

    You get this message because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    Do any of these aply to you?

  • Just upgraded to Lion and can no longer import any .mov files ("file not supported") to 3.1.3.  Also can no longer view any .mov or .mp4 files already in library.

    Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems.  Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4).  Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade.  After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present).  Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture.  Anybody else having similar problems?

    Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist.  Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system.  We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files.  Totally frustrated.  Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality.  Was also running dog-slow.  Constantly looking at the spinning wheel.  Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.  Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine. 
    Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues.  Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
    I had to:
    1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
    2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
    3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
    4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
    5. Reinstalled iLife apps
    5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
    Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was.  Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
    I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!)  by installing Lion.

  • I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

    I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

    Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
    Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
    A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component.  It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
    However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

  • IPhoto '11 no longer plays any video

    Hello, I"ve searched the forum and not yet found a solution to this problem.  I recently upgraded to OS X Lion and iLife '11.  I am running iPhoto 9.2.1. on my Macbook Pro and iMac and can no longer play any videos in iPhoto.  iMovie seems to be plagued byt the same issue.  I remember having to delete a couple files from the Library when I upgraded iPhoto.  The files were 3ivx files.
    Can anyone please help me or point me to the solution elsewhere in this forum.
    Many thanks,
    Tim

    First try installing   Perian and see if that fixes it. If not then look in your Home/Library/Quicktime folder to see if there's a 3ivx plugin there.  If there is remove it. It's not compatible with Lion and usually crashes iPhoto.  With that in mind I doubt you'll find the plugin.

  • Play protected WMA files

    I know I can't put them on my iPod but I can't get a WMA file to play at all that my daughter needs to listen to for school. I've downloaded Windows Media Player 9 it can't open the file, I have flip4mac which won't work. Is there any way to play this on a Mac? Or do I need windows?

    Paul and Cander are correct; there has never been a solution for playing protected WMA files under any version of Mac OS. Sorry, but the only way to get such files to play on a Mac would be to use a Windows system to burn the track to an audio CD, if the service from which you got the track allows that to be done.

    I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
    I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
    Disheartened apple fan.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

  • IPad no longer playing ANY type of video after 8.3 upgrade

    My iPad mini can no longer play ANY video.  I have tried various movies/tv shows from my library and directly from iTunes.  When I play a video, I get the following message "This operation could not be completed.  An unknown error occurred (-16710).
    I have tried several things including reboot, reset, reset all settings, and a full wipe and restore.   No dice.  This baby is dead in the water.
    Any ideas?

    Are you playing the DVD via Front Row or on a stand-alone basis via the DVD Player? Regardless, your computer may well be impacted by the glitches in your OS build, specifically impacting those of us with 20" iMacs and 256 vram. Check the build of your operating system by going to Apple>About this Mac and click where you see Version 10.4.4 - your Build information will appear. If your build is 8G1171, expect a fix to be on the way. More on that issue here & elsewhere:

    It may be something else is effecting your machine, but I thought I'd toss the idea above out there just in case it helps.

  • My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?

    My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?

    Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
    There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
    Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes.

    Yes.

  • My alarm clock and other apps no longer play any sound. My ringer stills works, so what is causing that?

    My alarm clock and other apps no longer play any sound. Ringer is still working and i can not find any settings that are turning off the sound. What could cause this?

    I know for a fact apple doesn't want carriers fixing their phones. My carrier even warned me that they can't fix the phones only apple stores can fix them. Well guess what I just wasted my whole day by driving to an apple store they "fixed" my phone I got home and it started doing the same **** things they didn't fix **** now I have to waste even more time by finding a ups store to ship my phone to apple so that means I'm going to be out of a phone for over a week because they never fixed it or replaced it like they should have. I'm so upset with apple that if this new phone does the same things were dropping apple and are going to samsung. I wasted 4 hours driving and $40 in gas and 6 hours of my time for nothing. Apple needs to put in more store around the country if their not going to let the carriers fix the phones them selves.

    Quicktime 7.2 will no longer play specfic mp4 files that 7.1 and earlier versions play fine, But new mac running 10.4.10 will not let me install earlier version, these files where used and edited fine on similar spec mac running 10.4.9 (both intel)

    You did nothing wrong!
    Quicktime has never played wmv files natively. You ned to download and install Flip4Mac WMV Player from  http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm  (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
