Playing a CD without noise?

Hi!
The program I use on my Windows-computer to play audio CDs has an option to limit the speed the CD is spinning, in order to reduce noise and save wear and tear on the CDs. I can't find any such setting in iTunes. Is there one, or can someone recommend a better CD-player to install on my new MacBook? Right now, there's an awful lot of CD-spinning noise coming from it.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) iTunes 6.0.5

No? I guess I'll have to use my Windows PC for any CD-listening, then.

Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

buckmacie,
has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it?

How to Play One Song Without Repeat?

I am a new Ipod user, with an 80 GB video version. (I don't think it's one of the latest new models, but the second to last generation. Is that "fifth generation"?)I updated it with the latest firmware, just a few days ago.
I have used other MP3 players before though. In most respects I find the Ipod superior to the other MP3 players I have used. However, there is one setting, that I have made before on other MP3 players, for instance my old Creative Muvo 4GB (a few years old), which I cannot figure out how to set on my Ipod.
How does one set the Ipod to play one song, without going on to the next one, and without repeating that one? The default (of course) is to play all the songs in the album or playlist, going on to the next one, when the current song is finished. Looking in Settings, I find one can set "Repeat" to repeat the whole playlist or album when one comes to the end of it, or set it to repeat the same song.
But---what if one wants to play one song, and then have the Ipod stop (or at least pause), and not automatically go on to the next song, or repeat the same song? Is it possible to set that? I cannot see how. If there is a way to do that, please let me know.
Some might ask--why would one want to do that? True, for normal use, the default setting is the best one, going on to the next song, as when one listens to a CD. But, there are cases where one might want the Ipod to play one song and stop. I'll explain my reason for wanting to make that setting--I am an elementary school music teacher. In my concerts with the children this upcoming week, I will put the musical accompaniments for my choirs on the Ipod, and play them from it. When the choir is performing a song, at the end of the song, I don't want the Ipod to start playing the next song on the list. I want it to stop or pause at the end. It will be a hassle for me to have to manually stop it at the right moment, and I might miss it, and it will start playing the next song.
Any way to set it to play one song, and then stop? If so, please tell me.
If not, I would hope that Apple would add that capability to the next firmware upgrade. Do they read here for user's suggestions? Is there another place to make suggestions for improvement in the Ipod firmware?
Thank you for your input.

Thank you for the reply, Chris.
I thought of that idea, a separate playlist for each song. That would be fine, if I was only playing one song. But I want to have the list of songs ready to play, so was going to put them in a playlist together. I need to be able to get to the next song quickly, without a lot of messing around with the Ipod.
Is it possible to put playlists within playlists? Then, perhaps I could make an individual playlist for each song, and make a playlist with all those one-song playlists together. If that is possible, it probably still would make it too complicated to go to the next song, probably having to use the menu button to go back to the higher playlist, etc. I want to keep playback simple.
I may try your idea of creating a blank "song" to put between tracks. (Is there also no way currently otherwise, to put a certain amount of empty space in between tracks?)
Thanks also for the feedback link. I will send this concern to Apple, and hope they add that capability soon.

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.

Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

Playing VIDEO_TS files without a DVD drive.

Hellp,
Im looking for a way to play my ripped (with mac the ripper) DVD VIDEO_TS files. I know that you can do this through the mac DVD player, but my ibook doesn't have a DVD drive, so the player will not start. I ripped the files onto my G4 Tower and wish to read them from an external HD. How do i get around DVD player needing a DVD drive? other than getting a noew CD-Drive that can read DVD's, what are my oprions? thanks

You could hook it up to the G4 via FireWire Target Disk Mode, but I'm guessing that's not the solution for what you want to do?
You could get an external drive that will read DVD's.
You can burn the DVD's to multiple CD's so they will play in the iBook (maybe, assuming the files are compatible with software on the iBook).
There is no way to make DVD player play DVD's without a DVD player. Sorry.

Play MPEG2 Movie without sound

Hi,
at the moment i try to play a mpeg2 movie with the java media framework.
I got the code up and running as long as i've installed windows performance pack. If i don't install it, i get a exception which means that the mpeglayer3 isn't supported. As far as i found out it is only the sound-codec in the file and i don't need to playback it.
Is there a possibility to remove the sound and play the movie without installed performance-pack? or is the movie codec the next problem where i need to stop if i solve the mpeglayer3 problem?
Thanks,
Stefan

JMF doesn't play MPEG2 movies, first.
But if you wanted to include JMF on a CD, you'd just need to include all of the JAR files that come with it, and include the .dll files for the Windows version and the (presumably) .a/.so objects that come with the Linux version. Then, you'll want to kick off your CD application with a script that'll detect the OS type and add the appropriate libraries to the runtime library path of whatever OS you're on, and include the path to the JAR in the library path for Java. Do all of that (correctly), and you should be able to run a JMF application from a CD/DVD without having JMF installed.
But you still won't be able to play MPEG2 videos. :-/

Itunes plays music with fuzzy noise?

my itunes plays music with fuzzy noise in the backgroud, I don't know how to fix it.... someone please help me to solve the problem! thanks

You may want to check your soundcard output in QuickTime. See this post for directions on the process: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa;jsessionid=aXxb7IZbMDPmI_4E?messageID=814726&ft=y&#814726

My iPhone 4 will not let me play my music I bought on iTunes or pandora or YouTube with out my headphones or speakers plugged in. I can play my ringtone without them plugged in but that's all. Also my iPhone will not turn off. Please help

I tried resisting my phone it didnt work. Please help? This is the first time it has ever happens and has been doing it for a week. The sound will only play without headphones or speakers is when I'm listening to my ringtone. And my phone won't turn off. It turns off then just turns back on.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

Can You Play Multiple Playlists Without User Intervention

Can you stack and play multiple playlists? ie if you had three playlists of 50 songs each, could you pick all three, play all the songs in the first playlist, when it is finished move automatically to the second playlist play its songs then automatically move to the third without user intervention? And if so, can you play each of these in shuffle mode?

There's no "impromptu" method of doing so that I know of.
As far as un-impromptu methods (it's always fun inventing words), it will depend on whether you want to listen to this mega-playlist on an iPod or just with iTunes.
If it's just with iTunes, you can go to the File menu > New Folder command and create a new folder which we can call the Mega-Playlist folder. Drag the three playlists in question into that folder. When you select that folder and press Play, iTunes should go through all the songs.
If it's on an iPod, since Folders don't transfer over from iTunes, the only solution I know of would be to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes that will -
Match any of the following rules:
Playlist is the first playlist +
Playlist is the second playlist +
Playlist is the third playlist.
Synching this mega-playlist to your iPod will allow you to select it from the Playlist menu.
Shuffle mode would shuffle songs from all three playlists together, not shuffle songs from the first playlist before moving on to shuffling songs from the second playlist before shuffling songs from the third playlist.

My story is working in dvd studio pro but how do I get the track to play with and without the story?

Hi there,
I've targetted my first button to play all and I've targetted my second button to play all: story 1. The play all option is still playing the same as the play all:story 1 option.
Can someone please help me figure out what I'm missing here. It should be straightforward but something isn't working.
Many thanks
Oonagh

Not sure if I explained my problem well at the start.
I have a 1 track dvd and I want two play options. 1 is the play all option, the other is an interactive option where the track will stop at certain points in the dvd. I have created 2 stories for each task. However, I can't alter 1 story without it altering the other story. Therefore for the play all option, when I want to take out the property whereby it stops at certain points in the interactive play option, it takes it out of both stories. If I target the play all button to just the track without any story, it still is linked to the interactive story.
The way I've made the story markers interactive is by putting the playback option to infinite.
I thought I had solved the problem by deleting the interactive story markers in the play all story but now when it plays through, it's not seamless where I removed these chapters and seems to jump a bit at these points.
If anyone can shed some light it would be much appreciated

Playing multiple movies without clicking home button

I want to create a piece of art containing multiple buttons. For example, an illustration of a field, where, if the user were to click on a bush, a rabbit's head would pop out briefly, then disappear behind the bush. If a lilly pad were clicked, a frog would pop his head out of water and again disappear. How can I allow the user to randomly click on the various buttons, triggering the associated movies to play, without necessitating that a "home" button be hit after each sequence?

I can get each button to play the corresponding movie. After the movie plays, however, I would like the movie to automaticaly revert to the home state.
In this way, the user could randomly click around on the image, triggering various movies when the appropriate buttons are hit. I have seen this done many times- I remember an an image of a hanunted house, for example. When the user clicked on a window, it would open and a ghost would look out. Without having to then click a home button, a further click on the door of the house would cause the door to open, and a mummy to lean out. I'm trying to avodi having to repeatedly hit a "home" button before additional button hits could trigger additional movie clips.
I should probably mention that I've had to insert a stop command at the end of each movie clip, otherwise all the animations play sequentially, rather than one at a time, when a button is clicked. How do I tell Flash to procede from this stop command, at the end of each movie, back to home, so that further buttons can be pushed?
Sorry if I've misunderstood your posting- I've been animating for several years on Flash, but have only started several days ago to use Actionscript 3 for interactivity, and am a complete novice, in that regard.

Play H.264 without a player?

Is it possible to play an H.264 movie on a web page without a
player.
I'd like to have it play once, just like a normal Flash file.
If so, what's the "<object classid=", etc. look like to
specify the proper version of flash, name of file, etc.
Thanks!

I found that QT 7 did not play well on my G3 iMac (700 MHz - 512 meg RAM)after I upgraded to 7.0.2. It caused iMovie to be virtually non-functional and even Final Cut Express 1 acted up.
I reverted to QT 6 and all is well. Sure I can't take advantage of h.264 but iMovie and FCE and everything else works very smoothly now.

Can apple tv be used to play purchased movies without broadband via airplay

can apple tv be used to play purchased movies from a ipad without broadband via airplay

The only times I've tried - on holiday/vacation with no broadband - this has failed because Airplay of protected content requires a brief authorisation connection to Apple's servers.
Conversely an ipad hooked up to a TV using the HDMI adapter works without internet for media stored on it as does a Mac computer running iTunes eg MacMini with HDMI out.
