My ipod is not playing on any dock devices ,i check devices and the are operating properly. " Not recognized on this device " is the message i am getting, what is the solution?

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.
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Sound not playing through any device.

Sound will not play through any device I try. I tired re installing all the drivers messing around with the playback device
and sound mixer and tried going through the audio jack in the back the headphone jack in the front hdmi to my tv and usb wireless headset none of them worked. and tried them all on with something other than my pc and the devices themselves work. i honestly
dont know what else to try is it something with windows or maybe my graphics card or something else? please help.

Hi Kevinwido,
When did this issue occur ?Have you made any modifications to the machine ? Will the built-in sound device work ?Have you tried to update the motherboard from the manufacturer website to have a check ?
You may need to download the sound card driver from the manufacturer for the sound devices to have a check.
If only the outer device won`t work and both of them are USB devices ,it is recommended to reinstall the USB controller driver, too .
If the issue occured recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point to have a check. Please note we will miss some configurations after the restore point .
Best regards

TS3833 iPhone 3G - iTunes ringtones can not play on this device.

I have an iPhone 3G. I reset the phone and now I cannot play the previews for ringtones. A message says: this device can not play tones. The iOS has to be 5 or???
Also when I go to setting, then general. I can not see the field whcih shows the operating system. It has been erased.
Can you help me?

when you bought it, did 2 versions download? For a bunch of shows I bought recently, I got 2 versions - a HD version and a standard (SD) version. To make room, I moved the files off my computer. When I wanted to watch the individual episodes on my iphone, I'd move the SD version back to the computer, and sync it with the iphone. After the recent upgrades - snow leopard, itunes 9, iphone 3.1, something got broken. When I would transfer the SD versions to my computer to sync with the iphone, for some reason something would rename the files with a (HD) tag at the end of the file name (even though they were the SD versions). Removing that tag in finder was all I needed to do to make it work. Odd.

Ipod Nano will charge but will not play on dock

Hi,
My ipod nano (1st Gen) will charge but will not play on my philips DS7550/05 Docking station.
When i phoned Apple support they told me maybe it was because my ipod was not compatable with the Docking station but to follow that up i checked the system requirements and my ipod is perfectly compatable with this docking station.
Other ipods do work on this Dock. I tried resetting my ipod but that did not work. My ipod works fine through headphones, syncs through my computer and charges fine when i plug it into the dock but simply will not play music!
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Not in particular. The fact that the iPod does not play when connected to any other docks could mean either the 1G Nano does not have the ability to output sound via it's dock connector port or yours in particular has gone bad.

HT204406 iTunes match songs will not play on any device.. please help me..

Hey,
just got iTunes match, set it up to the best of my knowledge.
-Bought it
-Matched and uploaded all of my music
-the 'iTunes match' tab isn't under 'Store' anymore
-music icons show up on iPhone 4 and New iPad
The thing is, when I select a song the song opens, album art and all stays on 0:00 then closes again as if it has finished playing.
I tried deleting a song in itunes then download it from iCloud but an error occurs. I deleted completely then added it to the library to see if i could get it to work.. Not working.
Music from iCloud will not play on any of my Apple things including iTunes.. Can someone from Apple or a smart person from the community please help me out.
If someone works at the Apple store in 'Chermside, Brisbane Australia' and wants to meet me to see if they can help that way I can do that too..
Thank you!

Same here...

BlackBerry Z10 and movies not playing after a device wipe.

Greetings,
I have a number of movies I purchased and downloaded over the holidays, some which were gifts during the give away, and after I had to wipe and reload my device they are no longer working.
I used BlackBerry Link to sync all the movies (approximately 30GB) to my PC. I used BlackBerry Link to sync the movies back to my handheld. However after the movies finished synching I got the follow error when I tried to play them:
"The file can't be opened. Download the original file or its license again and try again".
I then went to BB world to download the license files again since I obviously had the movies, and on a number of them I got "Failed to get video license".
Question #1 - If I synced the folders using BB Link, why did it not include everything I need to play the movies again after a device wipe (including the license data)?
Question #2 - Why do I have to re-download the license data?
Question #3 - Why is the license file data failing to download again?
Question #4 - Why did the movies that failed to download the video license then start to re-download the entire movie when I hit the retry button?
Question #5 - Why are some movies such as "Deck the Halls" (with Sinbad) that I got through the xmas promotion not showing up in BB World so I can try to re-download the license file?
This who experience of wiping my Z10 and starting over has been a major pain, starting with the slow speed of Link syncing to the fact that I clearly didn't sync over everything I needed to so I could re-sync my movies and make them operational again.

The movies were all on my SD card. They are also not backed up by Link which is why had them synced to my phone as a poor man's backup.
So either Link did not backup the necessary licensing information in the main memory of my phone, or Link did not synchronize the necessary licensing information off my SD card. Either way I am stuck with 3 movies that I cannot play, because I can no longer find them in the BlackBerry World store to re-dowbload whatever licensing information is needed.
I even just tried a media restore from Link because it was 138 MB in size (and in don't normally store anything on my phone's main storage), but alas no licensing information was restored.

Sound not Playing on iOS Devices?

Hello,
I am having a problem getting audio to play on my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad Mini, both running iOS 7.1.2) but on desktop and BlackBerry BB10 devices it seems to be fine. All of the animation functions appear to be working fine. I have the audio in both mp3 and ogg formats. I have “preload Audio” selected and “Autoplay” turned off. I believe preload doesn’t work on iOS devices (and others presumably) but does having it on cause any problems? On or off it doesn’t seem to make any difference in this case. I am using a play button to launch the animation at 0.5 seconds and then in the timeline at 1.0 seconds I am using a trigger with the following code:
sym.$("HollyInTheSnow2")[0].play();
I am using Adobe Edge Animate CC version 2014.1.1 (just updated).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Adding such audio play code as the trigger on the timeline won't work on iOS devices.
You need to add such code in the user event like on clicking some button, or in compositionReady event handler for the stage like below
     setTimeout(function () {
               sym.$("HollyInTheSnow2")[0].play();
          }, 1000);   //this will play after atleast 1 second

HT3209 I have a MBP w/Retina Display, why does iTunes say HD content will not play on my device?

is anyone else having this issue?

MBPr's are very recent machines. The oldest ones are from this past summer. Mine has a quad-core i7 2.6 GHz and 16 GB of RAM, and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5, along with the Retina display. This is more than enough system power to display HD movies, per the article you reference unhelpfully.

I pod will not play when on sony dock

got new sony i pod speaker dock, worked fine for about 2 months, downloaded ios 6.1 now i pod will not play through dock. any resolutions out there?

Reset the dock
Go to Sony's support site
Sometimes this works
Try:
- 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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility you have to wiat for an iOS update or an update to the firmware for your dock

Voice Memos will not play through Home Sharing on other devices.

I have synced my voice memos to my Apple library on my Mac Mini and can listen to them on that device with no problem. However, when I use my iPad or MacBook or Air to play the memos using my Home Sharing the voice memos will not play on the device. Sometimes a random song will start instead of the voice memo. I can play videos and music through Home Sharing with no problems, it seems to be only the voice memos that won't stream to the connected devices. Any help would be great (using Yosemite on devices).

I'm running 4.3.3 on mine and just played Joe Ely's latest album on my 1st generation Zeppelin. I do get the message about it not being compatible and possible noise but I dismiss that and play the music.
You may need to reset your Zeppelin (disconnect it from power, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in), Reset you iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttones) or do both.
You may also need to update the firmware on your Zeppelin if you have not done so before now.

Laptop (EliteBook 6930p) speakers stop playing when docked (HSTNN-IX01 PA286A)

This is very frustrating problem.
My laptop's (EliteBook 6930p) internal speakers play audio just fine but as soon as I place the laptop on the docking station (HSTNN-IX01 PA286A), speakers stop playing.
Audio output device stays the same as 'speakers' whether docked or not.
While docked, I can get audio out through line out on the laptop as well as the line out on the docking station.
But the built-in speakers just will not play while docked.
Sound is not mutted, volume level is not hear 0%, it just stops playing when docked.
I've tried, reinstalling audio drivers as administrator under freshly installed Vista and Windows 7.
Same behavior is observed under the two different OS's I've tried.
Is it just not possible to get audio out of the built-in speakers when docked to this docking station?
Is there anyone who can confirm built-in speakers working whiled docked to this particular docking station?

Hello vlsi2000,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
I hope this helps!
Thank you

Iphone 4 will not play audiobook purchased in itunes. Any ideas

Purchased an audiobook on itunes. It worked well until I got to about chapter 7 of 10. Now it will not play on my device. It will appear on the screen as if it is playing, but no sound comes out whether I am using earbuds or the built in speaker. I don't think it is the media itself because I can locate it in my computer and double click it to play it, and itunes will come up and it will begin to play. Have not tried it on any of my other devices yet.

Same exact problem- a $44 book!

My ipod is not playing on a Sony docking station and it is supposed to be compatible with it?

My ipod touch is not playing on a Sony docking station....what do I need to do??

- Have you reset the dock?
