Playback of Audible files garbled since 2.2 upgrade

1st gen iPhone, 8g. Starting immediately with the 2.2 upgrade, my Audible files are intermittently garbled.
Each "garble" lasts a few seconds, and some of the words said in that window are lost, while some are barely intelligible. I'd say I get one garble every 10 or 15 minutes on average.
Any ideas?

No problems here with my audible files.
Have you removed and resynced the audiobook?
Have you tried restarting or resetting?

XTRA - Audible file causes "Playback Error" or wo

I am using the player in Car Mode so it shuts down automatically when I turn off the car. Last week I had played through about 4 hours into the 8 hour Audible file. I got in my car yesterday and it wouldn't play the file. It showed the time as --:--:-- and the HD stopped spinning.
I tried going forward and backward and neither worked.
I tried switching to another track, but it would not stop attempting to play the Audible file.
Using the recovery menu, I selected "Clean Up". This allowed me to play other files, including other Audible files, but it would still hang when attempting to play that specific file.
Today, I removed that file from my Zen and re-transferred it using the Audible Manager.
Now when I attempt to play that file it plays the "This is Audible" part, about 2 seconds, and then shows the "Playback Error" message.
I tried skipping forward using the Go To Section function and it hard crashed.
Is there something I can do to be able to play this file?
Is this an indication that something is wrong with my Xtra?
Thanks,
Altair

Does it happen only to that particular file only? If it does, then it's most likely a problem with your file rather than the player.

Quicktime playback of .TOD files with Perian installed

I recently purchased a JVC GZHD3 camcorder, and have had no problems playing the .TOD files in quicktime until I installed Perian 0.5 which I got from the apple website. Why did does it now say, the movie could not be opened, the movie contains and incorrect duration? Like I said, I never had any issues with playback of my recorded video until I installed Perian. What's the deal here with these HD files?
TJ

JVC says this:T here seems to be a TOD component/codec one requires, it's free and there's a link (and apaprently on the CD that came with the camera, too)
Can I use GZ-HD7/GZ-HD3 with Mac?
Yes, for playback of TOD file QuickTime can be used if the QuickTime component is installed from CD ROM supplied with the camera. Editing of HD video is possible with iMovie HD or Final Cut Pro. Both of these work with TOD file extension. Also the contents can be down converted from High Definition to DV standard thru firewire (1394) to be edited with older versions of editing software.
Can Final Cut Pro software be used to edit and create a movie (MAC)?
YES. Final Cut Pro can work with a .TOD file. But it is necessary to first install QuickTime Component, this file is located on CD ROM provided with the camera. Then from the following website:
http://software.transdigital.co.jp/products/cbsev/qceng/index.htm
Setup files for Final Cut Pro for 60i (for USA) needs to be downloaded and installed On the same page there is a tutorial link with individual sections for recordings made in FHD or SP/1440CBR modes. It shows you how to convert the file to either AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec), YUV (uncompressed) format or HDV1080i
Also the Google Gods reveal this: TOD seems to be like QT, or AVi , a container with MPEG-2 inside it:
If you are using Final Cut Pro or other professional non-linear editing programs on the Mac, you cannot use the camera's native .TOD format, which is basically an MPEG inside the .TOD container.
Forget about following JVC's instructions: they are too time-consuming and don't allow batch processing. The easiest conversion method I've found requires two freeware programs: The VLC media player, and MPEG Streamclip, both available on the Apple Website (and elsewhere).
You'll first need to use the VLC player to convert the .TOD into a .TS file, which takes seconds (you are only changing the container format to MPEG TS, not actually changing compression). Once you've changed the .TOD file to a .TS file, you can use MPEG Streamclip to change to a variety of file formats that Final Cut Pro can recognize. Of course since you are recompressing the file at this point, expect this to take far longer than the first step.
Note - MPEG Streamclip requires Apple's MPEG-2 component to edit the video.

Reinstalled drivers Recording is distorted. Playback of existing files fine. SoundBlaster Live

I got a new motherboard an ABIT Socket A with an AMD 3000+ processor and gig of memory. After installing drivers 'Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe' and also after installing patch 'Li'veDrvPack_Patch.exe' recording is distorted. The input level is not clipping but the playback of the new recording is horribly distorted. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers over and over and it just won't work. The playback of existing files is fine. Have duplicated problem with both ACID 4 , ACID 5, and microsoft sound reocorder, so I would assume it can't be an issue with recording software. I have the problem with a guitar plugged into the Mic and Aux2 inputs of the li've dri've as well as when recording 'What you Hear' with Winamp playing, so that rules out the li've dri've inputs. Has anyone had this same issue? I am going insane with this one. I had installed the KX drivers previously but found the interface awkward so I uninstalled them. I dont think that is the issue, since I have uninstalled them, as well as uninstalled and reinstalled the Creative drivers a few times since. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Yes exactly as you mentioned. I have SoundBlaster Li've! 24-Bit Internal and facing the same problem. All is working very good, but only sound in WOW is terrible: it's muffled, degraded and seems to runs only in 22khz.
It is a big irony because i bought this card only for WoW to replace my onboard card and now the old one sounds much better in WoW as the new SB
Anyone with help?
Now it seems that I return my card like you... and people from creative, think about it! WoW is most played game ever!Message Edited by magnetique on 0-06-2006 :24 AM

My audible files have no sound

Somehow I lost the ability for my audible files to play sound. I noticed it first after buring a audiobook and in my car the cd's were silent. I went back to my computer and noticed that when they burned the files to the CD the file size for each chapter was 1KB. So nothing got burned over.
I then tried to play the audiobooks in iTunes. No sound plays on any of the files. Now if I go to my Audible Manager it plays the files fine - with sound.
I'm pretty sure I just updated a version of iTunes and i think that's what screwed it up, but I am not sure. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes to no avail. All my audible files are still silent.
Anyone have any help? thanks!

Here is the Audible response I received.
=============================
Thank you for contacting us at Audible again. I understand that you have encountered some difficulties while attempting to play your Audible titles within iTunes. We are currently aware of an issue with the latest version of iTunes (Version 10.5) for PC which breaks the playback of Audible Format 4 titles. As you may be experiencing, the titles will look like they are playing normally within iTunes, but they do not have any sound or the sound is distorted. While we are diligently working to resolving this issue, you will still be able to play your titles via iTunes -as long as you use one of other 3 formats (Format 2, 3, or Enhanced). All you will need to do is re-download your Audible purchases in any of these formats, and you shouldn't have any problems with the playback.
I have forwarded your email address to our Technical Team. When this issue is corrected, we will provide you with an update. To re-download your Audible title in a different format, please reference the following steps:
1. Go to the "My Library" section of the website: http://www.audible.com/lib
2. From here, locate the title you wish to download.
3. To the right of the title, locate the "File Size/Audio Format" label and please click "Change".
4. A drop down menu will become accessible. Please select the down arrow and choose the desired format you wish to download the title in.
5. Please click on “Download It” and it will download in the new format.
Remember, there is no additional charge for this download and you can download your books as many times as you would like. I apologize for any inconvenience that you may have encountered and if you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know.

Audible file question

I just upgraded from a 10GB iPod (1G) to a new 30GB iPod with Video. On my old iPod when I played an audible audiobook file, I would generally just "pause" the playback and let the iPod turn itself off. Then when I went back to play it again, it would start playing again a few seconds before the original pause point. In other words it sort of "rewound" itself a little bit. The amount it "rewound" was dependent on how long the file was and how far I was through it (3/4 of the way through a 7 hour book and it would jump back 30 - 40 seconds) this was very convenient because it let me catch up to where I had last listened.
My new iPod with video doesn't seem to do this, it always picks back up exactly where I left off. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a setting I am missing. I always download the Audible files in format 4, so there is nothing different about these files.
Its not a big issue, but I do like the "old" way much better.
Bill

Thanks for testing it out. I liked this former feature, but I can understand that some people may have found it confusing. The small amount of rewind helped me remember what was going on with the story, but I can always rewind a bit manually.
Hey William,
We tested this over at Audible.com.
We tried playing a book and than waiting for a few
hours. With the new Video iPods we found it does not
rewind a little to review the book. If Apple had the
experience we did, they probably found that customers
were confused about the playback position changing.

IPod shuffle and problem with Audible files

I just fought for about 8 hours with my new Shuffle because it would not play my Audible files even though I read everything available about how to do it correctly and I updated/reset/upgraded/reinstalled/redid everything repeatedly and was about to send it back for an exchange.
Whenever I tried to play an Audible file, the Shuffle would just die and then the (newly charged) battery would instantly drain to nothing and I'd have to recharge it before trying it all again. (I was NOT trying to play the files in shuffle mode, and I was NOT trying to play Audible type 1 files, so this was not the problem. Also, the Audible files played just fine in iTunes.)
The problem was that I had downloaded the audiobook files from Audible when I bought them, and then had stored them on a CD. Then, when it was time to put the files on the Shuffle, I just pulled them off the CD back into iTunes. I did this, of course, because I didn't want those large audiobook files stored on my hard drive.
I eventually tried downloading FRESH FILES from Audible, instead of using the files I had stored on CD. The Shuffle was able to play these FRESH, NEWLY DOWNLOADED FILES from Audible.
Seems like there'd be some mention of this somewhere in all of the troubleshooting guides I've been through. What a pain.

Lawrence,
Why don't you buy the audiobooks from Audible and then archive them until you want to download and listen to them. Then once you've listened you can delete them from your iTunes Library and no hard disk space is needlessly occupied on your machine. And, if you want the book again in the future, just download it again -- the download time is probably considerably less than the time you take burning CDs, plus you save the cost of the CDs, plus the "fresh" downloads work on your Shuffle and the CDs don't.
Roger

I've recently noticed that since the last upgrade any links to pdf files on websited no longer work. All I get is a blank white page or a blank black page when I click on these links. Can I fix this?

Help! Audible files not showing up on my ZEN!

- >I hope this isn't a repeat question, but I've been through about 3 pages of this thread and haven't found it. I need help with .aa (Audible) files. They're on the MP3 (Zen), because I can see them with the Zen Media Explorer, but they don't show up anywhere on my Zen. Plus, it's difficult to load them in the first place. The Zen usually freezes up. I think that last part may be the fault of my p.o.c. computer, but I'm not sure. Please help! I own about 20 Audio books, and I WANT to listen to them! I tried contacting both Audible & Creative, and just got the run-around. I've been send a link to something from microsoft, but it's a dead link. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am going to make a couple assumptions:
. you have Audible files from Audible.com (as opposed to generic audiobooks from something like NetLibrary)
2. you have an account with Audible.com (you don't have to continue to pay to keep your account)
3. you are familiar with Audible Manager software
There is no problem at all using Audible Manager software for Audible content and other software to sync the rest of your stuff. I do this.
If you sync your books with Audible Manager, you are going to have to make your new player an authorized player on that computer in Audible Manager. You have a limit to how many players you can have, and also how many per computer. You might have to "bump" an older player (the "Burn CD" option counts as a player)
Your Audible content will sync after you sign in and "authorize" your new player. It will go into the "Music" section. You find it by looking for the author, title, OR (easiest in my opinion) the Audiobook genre. Let us know here how this worked out.

Can't open WMV files in Quicktime since Snow Lep upgrade.....

I Can't open WMV files in Quicktime since Snow Leopard upgrade
I get an error message saying 'Quicktime player must be installed to run this application'
This is happening on both of my macs
Any help appreciated

I had this problem. Double clicking the WMV file produced the message you had. However, if I open by dragging the WMV file onto the QuickTime X icon in the dock it did indeed open.
I then looked at the WMV's Get Info window and found that it was set to open in WMV Player by default. Obviously I do not have WMV Player installed. The drop down menu on this setting did have QT Player as the other option. When I changed the option to QT Player as default the "Change All" button became active. Previously it had been greyed out. Things have been OK since, but I have not tried it on any new WMV files.

How can I make iTunes authorize Audible files?

I downloaded an audio book from Audible.com to my desktop computer at home. Now I am traveling, using my wife's MBP, and have my iTunes library with me on an external drive. iTunes is pointed at that library and open. I am trying to sync my iPod Touch and in the books seciton, I have specified the audio books to be copied onot my iPod, but I get the message that “some of the Audible files were not authorized to be used on this computer.” How can I overcome this?

Hello bobgoldstein,
Thanks for the question.
You may need to authorize your audible account for this computer. To do so, click Store > Authorize audible account.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

How can I make I-cloud back up only the files created since the last Time-Machine backup?

Hi everyone,
So, I wish to use time-machine to back up every six weeks or so. This means a whole range of files could be lost if my wonderfully fast but terrifyingly unrecoverable solid state hard drive packs up.
Has anyone any idea how I can make Icloud only backup files created since the last time machine backup?
Best
Danny

Automator is not the right solution.
Use a folder action script. Apple has an example here: (Auto-backup Script):
http://www.apple.com/applescript/folderactions/05.html
the steps might have been written for 10.3, so the steps may not be 100% right, but this will do what you want.
