Playing a .cdr file through iTunes

I have a .cdr file of a movie that I want to play on my tv through my apple tv but I can't import the .cdr file into iTunes. How can I play the movie on my tv?

Since both iTunes and WMP are having trouble with playback of the CD, it is likely it is not burning correctly. Try the burn one more time with CD Text turned off and the burn speed set to 2X, and see if that helps.

TS1702 The application "video converter" says that I can retrieve my converted files through iTunes. Where and how does that happen?

The application "video converter" says that I can retrieve my converted files through iTunes. Where and how does that happen?

I see an iPhone App called Video Converter but not an iPad app. When to do a search, it comes up with a whole bunch of apps so perhaps if you tell us exactly which app it is .....

I have a time capsule with a ton of media on it. Will Apple TV recognize and play the media files without itunes?

I have a time capsule with all my mdeial files. Will apple TV play the amedia files with out a need for pc or Itunes?
Thank you in advance

rfromla jolla,
What I'm hearing now is that any NSA still needs some iTunes interface to "go through". I'm going to use iTunes on my iMac as the pass through. I keep it running just about all the time.
You can use the little Apple Mac mini fine. If I were rich I'd do that.....
Oh well.....

Playing a .CDR file from Hard Drive

Hi, I have copied a DVD to my hard drive using Disk Utility. I did this as a back up should the DVD become damaged or lost. I can make a DVD out of it so all is well. I however wish to be able to watch the DVD directly from the Hard Drive ie from the .CDR file.
Is this possible? Advice welcomed. Alternative approaches welcomed if the above is not feasible.
Thanks in advance.
Phil

Use to be able to mount .ISO images. If you copied it to a DVD image in Disk Utility, not just a file, mount it and see. It needs to be read-only image.
I think you need to use a program. I would see what "play DVD images" turns up on Google.

Playing .MOV MIDI files in iTunes 10.4

In November last year I saved hundreds of old piano roll MIDI files in QuickTime format and added them to my iTunes library. They played quite happily in iTunes on the Snow Leopard OS. I have just updated to Lion and now the new version of iTunes 10.4 will not play them. I get this error message:
This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.
Why would they remove functionality from iTunes in this way and no longer support MOV files in iTunes? Seems a retrograde step to me. Does anyone know what I can do to restore my functionality. I spent days getting the metadata right for these files and do not want to lose my work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or a solution.
Steve

Ah, I have resolved this myself by opening iTunes in 32-bit mode. Now plays these midi MOV files okay. How annoying that they did not provide inbuilt support for this in 64-bit in the Lion release. I assume no-one at Apple considered it a possibility...

How to play a wave file through the DAQ board?

Hi there,
we want to play a wave file that is saved on the harddrive via the DAQ board. Means we want to connect a amp to the analog output of the DAQ to amplify the sound and play it through a speaker.
We couldn't find any VI that does that. Can anybody tell us how to play a wave file, or perhaps even send us a VI that can do that?
Thanks a lot for your help
Martin - Physical Optics Corporation

Hi Martin,
The only example that I could find on how to do this was using our
older Traditional DAQ drivers version 6.9.3. If you're using Traditional
DAQ drivers, the vi can be found here.
The example reads a 8-bit mono .wav file (an example .wav file is included in the .zip file) and writes it to the analog out of your DAQ card. I've updated the
example to work with our newer DAQmx drivers and attached it here.
I hope this helps,
Paul C.

No video when playing QuickTime MOV file in iTunes

I received a QuickTime MOV file from a business associate who transferred it from his Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder to his Mac. When I load up the file in iTunes on my Win XP machine, it will play back the audio, but there is no video. When I try to play it back in QuickTime, a window comes up telling me that additional software is needed. When I click the button to go download the software, a browser window comes up listing about 15 different products -- with no indication of which if any will solve the problem. I don't know for certain that any of them will, and I don't have time to download 15 products to test each one. Is there not a more simple way to find out what I need and where to download it? Alternatively, is there a way to convert this file to a friendlier format? This is video of a business event that we need to edit for distribution.

Thanks. That explains it. The person who made the .wmv file says it was made with Camtasia Studio. Do you have any idea what he might have done for it to choose this MSS2 codec over something more universally compatible?
Camtasia is a screen capture application for Windows (like Snapz Pro for mac). We use it here, it works quite well but you get WMV files and tough darts, I guess if you want other than that. I presume real time capture of activity on the screen calls for a codec simple enough to keep up and not drop frames. It does work quite well though.
Play it on WMP in Parallels, Boot Camp, etc.

What causes CD's played in combo drive through iTunes to skip?

When I play an audio CD in my eMac combo drive through iTunes, just about every disc I play skips? When I play them on my home stereo CD player or my DVD player in audio mode they all play fine. What could be causing this?

Hey Matt,
Some of my CD's have slight surface flaws, but the oversampling by the combo drive should take care of that. It does in my video DVD-in-audio-mode player and in my home stereo CD player which does 4x oversampling.
Songs in iTunes do not skip. The skipping is also not the "Max Headroom" type of digital stuh-tuh-tuh-tuttering. It is more like the audio intermittently cutting in and out.
I did some more troubleshooting and discovered that part of the problem was a loose connector. The 3.5mm plug from my external speaker system was not making good contact with the audio out port on my Mac.
The other part of the problem I discovered was that in one of the CD's I was listening to the recording has a sampled vinyl LP in it. The original LP had slightly audible surface scratches on it, and the original analog tape studio recording had dropouts in it. It just sounds real different when played on my Mac through my Klipsch speakers. Here's to that old audio engineering trick where the recording studio mixdown is done through Yamaha studio monitors with the idea that if the engineer can make Yamaha studio monitors sound good, the recording will sound good on everything else. The audio engineer on the Cinematic Orchestra CD titled Every Day apparently didn't use Yamaha nearfield studio monitors
After jiggling the audio connector, Genesis' Selling England by the Pound sounds fantastic once again. Thanks for your input, it helped point me in the right direction. I'll also try cleaning the contacts on my Mac's audio out port with some contact cleaner.
Thanks,
John

How to play an audio file through a button?

I have a form in which I have a button (Command object). When the user clicks on this command button it is supposed to play a wav file. The wav is residing in my hard disk at "C:\tada.wav"
I have tried to include the following code in the commandAction() method, which technically is the right way of performing this operation:
But I get a warning when I compile saying that this operation should be performed in a seperate thread as opposed to commandAction().
if(c == cmdPlay)
try
String wav = "file:///c:/tada.wav";
Player p = Manager.createPlayer(wav);
p.start();
catch (IOException x)
x.printStackTrace();
} catch (MediaException x) {
x.printStackTrace();
Can anyone please tell me how to implement this solution properly or just suggest a new way of creating a "play" button in my form? Urgent HELP NEEDED PLEASE!
THANKS.

Hi Ibrahim,
Rob has pointed you to the Lingo for playing a sound. There is a behavior in the Library Palette that makes this very easy without needing to write a script yourself. In the Media > Sound category, there is a 'Play Sound' behavior. You can click and drag this behavior onto a sprite and then in the Parameters dialog, you can choose the sound to play, the channel in which it should play, the event to activate the sound, and if you want the sound to loop.

Why isn't ATV able to play my movie rental through iTunes on my Mac?-I can see it on ATV through the computer icon but it won't play.

So I've had my Gen 2 ATV for a little less than a year..it's been great...up to last week! Now nothing downloads and all I get is ''able to view in 90 hours...all week it's not gone under 70 hours. So I went to Itunes on my Mac and downloaded it again thinking it should show up as a rental through the computer on ATV..it does it's right there...but can I play it? Heck no! First it gets the icon showing its buffering..or whatever it's doing and it just stays there doing nothing..then I tried it again an hour later and I get an error message that I need to authorize my computer....I go back to check in Itunes and of course the computer is authorized.
I've just spent $12 on the same movie trying to get it to work and I'm just so over reading in all the forums but finding nothing that will fix this issue. Does Apple even care? Sooo many people with problems and no help to fix the issues. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY INTERNET CONNECTION!
How about Apple just fixing whatever it is that's wrong? I can only think it has something to do with the last update I did since nothing has worked properly with movies since then.

TS1718 Post update, when I try to play movies/tv shows through iTunes only audio comes through. How do I fix this?

Just rented a movie from the iTunes store, which I have never had a problem with prior to this, and played it but the screen was black. Audio was coming through the whole time. I tried skipping around to see if maybe some parts of the movie didn't get downloaded correctly but that wasn't case. I tried playing other tv shows I have on my computer that I bought from iTunes and those won't play correctly either. I can only assume it was something involving this previous update. Any guidance on the matter would be appreciated.

Airtunes - playing internet music on through Itunes?

I have several airport express units hooked up to speakers and I regularly use Itunes to play music on them. Both from albums I have purchased at the Itunes store and from radio stations that are present in Itunes. I would like to play music or sounds that I hear on the internet on my speakers and know that this should be feasible to do so. Can you do this and if so how do you go about it? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

It's called Airfoil

To be honest, it's great! I've always wanted to use Airport Express for more than just music now I can!

I want the actual file name of my song to be edited through itunes

Hello to all,
I have spent a significant time of my life to keep my music folder very well organized. Then after a few years, I discovered itunes and I started to organizing and tagging my music files through itunes. Everything works well with no problems....
Now, here is the thing.
I know that itunes works with mp3 tagging or something similar (not an expert). So, if I copy the songs of an itunes playlist to my friends (dropbox, usb drive etc) and they are not using itunes, then the file names of the songs included in the playlist is totally crap. If they open it in itunes or other similar software is pitch perfect. But most of them they go through: "open folder"/"read file name"/"play song". So they cannot even find the songs they want....
So, is there a magic way (i.e. not manual) that the actual file names of my songs will be edited by itunes according to my so lovely and beautiful (lol) itunes tag?
Any help would be more than welcomed and even celebrated as well!
Cheers
BG

iTunes reorganizes files stored inside the iTunes Media folder to reflect changes to tags if the advanced preference "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" is selected. If for some reason it has failed to do this turning the preference off, and then back on again normally resolves things, although iTunes won't make minor case corrections, e.g. The beatles to The Beatles. iTunes uses the structure <Artist>\<Album>\[D ]## <Name>.<Ext>
If the files are stored outside the media folder, or that preferences is turned off, then the file & folder names are left alone when you edit the tags. Consolidating the library will bring in copies in the standard format.
However, unless we are talking about songs you have personally composed and recorded, you have no right to give copies of your songs to your friends, they should buy their own copies (or you could buy them for them).

Hiccupping/skipping when I play the first file upon login (iTunes 7.0.2)

When I first logon and play an audio file on iTunes, it hiccups after about two seconds. After that it plays fine, but it's seriously annoying - it makes me think there's something wrong. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Thanks for any input.

I figured out what the problem was.
My audio interface is what skips. Perhaps it's initializing itself and there's a delay. When I plug straight into my headphone jack, there's no problem. But when I try listening through my audio interface, it skips.

Imported songs and some songs bought through itunes aren't playing on my ipod?

Hey I just updated both my ipod and Itunes, and while syncing new music to my ipod touch (5th gen,) it seems half my music had gone haywire. Some of it is stuff I've bought from bandcamp, downloaded from Itunes, or uploaded from CDs. They all worked fine till I tried syncing new music. Any idea on what's going on? Is it the update? I don't think I did anything that would prevent these files from working. All imported music files are AAC or mp3 and have worked in the past.
As an added note, while looking at the music files through itunes as the ipod was supposed to be downloading them, they usually get a little loading circle, but the entire song was greyed out even though they were selected to load.
Also while trying to play pre-existing music in my ipod, it will skip and jump through songs till it lands on one that works. All the songs it skipped through will have an icon saying they are playing next to them when they are obviously not. Corrupted files? They play just fine on my computer though.

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 or delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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.
