PP CS5 won't play

I've been happily using PP CS5 since the week after release.
Suddenly, premiere won't play anything. When I hit the play button or space bar, the button toggles to pause but premiere just sits there. This is in both the source clip window and preview window.
There were no hardware/software changes. I was working fine, quit to work on something else, restarted about 30 minutes later and no joy.
I've tried the solutions outlined in the support article, including deleting the plist file and logging in as root. Deleting the plist file had no effect. When logged in as root, premiere works fine but when I return to my user account nothing's changed.
I also un/reinstalled and upgraded to 5.0.2, again with no change.
Running 10.6.5, Mac Pro 2x2.8Quad, 10GB.
Any suggestions of something else to try?
Cliff

I'm running into exactly the same problem. I'm on a 2007 MacPro w/13GB RAM running 10.6.5.
On Tuesday I was editing video and all of the sudden, the digital audio out stopped working. I tried all kinds of audio setup manipulations and nothing worked until I abandoned my project and went back to FinalCut Pro. Then, the digital audio starts working so I though I'd try Premiere Pro again.
Now, everytime I try to play a clip in PP, and it doesn't matter whether it is an old project or new, Canon h.264 video or AVCHD video or ProRes, it will either not play at all or only play one second of video.
I've tried removing /Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist, trashing, restarting and trying again -- no luck. I've also tried fixing permissions and resetting the PRAM. I can definately write to the AggregateDevices.plist because I can see it being updated as I start and quit PP.
I get the impression that this has something to do with the audio system, but not sure what.
Thanks,
Cameron

Audition CS5.5 won't play

MacBook Pro 17"
2.2GHz Intel Core i7
8Gb RAM
Audition was working nicely. Now over the past 2 weeks, it won't play anything. I've tried MP3 files, WAVs, audio exported from Premiere....nothing is working.
Help!!!

Why is it silly that the record and playback sample rate have to match? If you think about it, when you're recording, the sound you're listening to is looped through your sound interface. If the rates don't match, it'll stop working because from your description, you're probably using something like a simple Realtek which can only do one thing at a time.
Really, the inbuilt sound cards on most computers are NOT designed for any serious recording--they're far more suitable just for watching Youtube or making Skype calls. However, you CAN use it if your really must--but it'll get confused trying to handle two sample rates at once.
It's not anything silly in Audition--it's a limitation of your sound card and operating system.

I bought songs on my old computer, but when I got a new laptop they won't play on iTunes

The songs that I bought on my phone have transfered into my library, but the songs purchased on my old computer won't play. They still come up, but the letters are grey instead of black and I can't even select them. What do I do? They were purchased under my account, so they should be showing up.

Video/Movie won't play when exported as a PDF.

Hello,
I am creating an interactive PDF using CS5 to display video work. Unfortunately, the video won't play when exported as an interactive PDF, I am just left with blank space. I find this very odd as it plays in preview and also when exported as a SWF but that file type is unsuitable for the project.
Initially when I exported it I got this message: "One or more of the interactive elements are clipped in ways the pdf files can't reproduce...." Obviously, I have ensured the file is resized correctly and also tried .mov, .mp4 and also .flv file types with no success. I have also checked the simple things like ensuring all the right boxes are ticked when I export.
This is not the first time I have embedded video but it is the first time without success despite following the same pattern. Any ideas as to why this would be and how to fix it?
Thank you,
Laura

Use Flv or f4v format, after you have placed video into your layout, make sure that you don´t scale or crop video frame at all.
(Whren you File > Place a video, you will have a loaded cursor with video icon. Click the empty spot on page with loaded cursor, don´t draw a rectangle or click on the top of some exisiting frame)
It´s important that you have your video in 100% encoded size in your layout. If you need to scale or crop it, load that video into Adobe Media Encoder and do it there, and re-encode the video to the correct size and shape aftrwards.
Adobe Media Encoder ships with InDesign.

Timeline won't play video, only audio

I just switched computers recently (windows 7 to Windows 7) and when I re-installed Premiere CS5.5 on my new computer the video in the timeline wouldn't play.
The timeline video box just shows a media offline graphic even after all the media was reconnected.
When I press play, the playhead moves, but it will only play the audio and only shows the media offline graphic for the video. I tested a few of the clips to see if they'd play in the source monitor, and all of them played fine. It's just the timeline video window that won't play.
It started working yesterday for some reason I don't know, but when I reopened the program it was back to the same problem.
I've looked at a ton of posts, but none of them seem to have this same problem.

There are 2 main types of video in the project I'm editing: h.264 (MOV) from a Canon T3i DSLR, and MPEG-2 from an HDV Camcorder. None of the videos will play video in the timeline monitor, but the playhead moves and the audio plays (the video just shows a media offline graphic, although all the media is connected). All videos will play in the source monitor regardless of codec. This leads me to believe that codec issues are not the problem.
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 620
Graphics Driver Version: 9.18.13.3788
I have updated to the latest nvidia driver in the past week. There was another thread similar to my problem (http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/205/874787) where the guy figured out it was because he had 2 graphics cards, and that his timeline monitor was running off the wrong one. However, his description of what he did to fix it was not very clear, or at least not for my amount of knowledge.
There was another thread where someone said to downgrade to an older driver, and that didn't work either. here's a
screenshot of what it looks like when I play a video in the timeline:

Audio won't play after replacing the video clip with after effects composition?

I am using CS5. Still new to this stuff so let me know if you need extra info. None of the faq guides have been helpful.

The audio is still in the project, but won't play in the canvas... this was solved by Richardttt... see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1491870&tstart=0
I tried this and it works but still don't know why it happened: Under Object Menu, select Unsolo>Video Only.

Specific set of XDCam EX720p50 footage won't play in Premiere (or After Effects)

Hi There
I've been given a media drive full of past projects and media by a client, which contains (among other things) .mov files which Quicktime Player Movie Inspector tells me are XDCam EX720p50 35Mb/s VBR 1280x720, 16 bit integer (little-endian), Stereo 48Khz. The sound plays fine, but the video shows only a red screen with occasional digital-dropout-like square flicking across the screen.
This PC system is newly installed and running OK, and footage of the same type (given the same credentials by Quicktime Player) from a different client plays fine in Premiere
(Quicktime player will open both sets of files and give you the info, but sends you to the extra-codec page)
So my conclusion is there's a problem with the set of files that won't play (rather than the system)
And my question is....
WHAT CAN I DO? Can anyone give me some advice on how I might get these files working? They have been edited before in a previous version of Premiere by another editor, without issue so they should work...
All help appreciated
Thanks
jON
(Premiere CS5.5, Win 7 64bit, core i7 2600K at 4.8Ghz, 16Gb RAM, GeFore GTX 570)

I have a similar problem. A friend sent me the .mov files he recordedin the XDCAM 16x9 1920x1080 . I can't import them into my Win7 Premiere Pro. Codec Missing or unavailable. Lots of people seem to have the same proble id using a PC - particularly when they have been sent the .mov files on a hard drive. The folder
I can play the videos using VLC but not on WindowsMedia or DivX (sound only) or with QuickTime ( won't load - needs new software from Adobe plugins)
If this is a codec problem why can VLC play it?
I have checked out the files with MediaInfo and they are slightly different to the above. Are there ary rules to determing the value of the parameter for the bat file for my mov file. I think this looks like stereo but you will recognise the information you would need. I tried the current bat but that has another audio file map.

IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ? Anybody help please. Thanks

iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
You may want to ask in the right forum.

When leave I nano 4th gen connected to either of my cars it no longer restarts playing when car is restarted. Instead it shows 'no entry' in the song title on the car audio display and won't play until disconnected and reconnected.

Nano has worked fine for a couple of years being left connected to either one of our cars. However, every time car is restarted it won't play without being disconnected and reconnected. I have done a full restore.
Current cars are Range Rover Sport 2011 and Jaguar XK 2011.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks,

I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

ITunes Purchased Music Won't Play

OK, I must be doing something wrong. I sync my iPhone and it gets all the music I had selected. But I've discovered a number of songs that won't play...and these just happen to be iTunes purchased music! My regular mp3's will play.
Now I know the purchased songs work because they play on my Nano and Shuffle2. The purchased songs also play in iTunes.
Any ideas?
And a second question...I've downloaded a few TV shows which play fine in iTunes but do not play on the iPhone. Is there a "trick" to playing my purchased music and video on the iPhone?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi!
I discovered that my purchase music and videos stopped playing when I went into a Tully's coffee shop and attempted to access their Wi-fi network. I don't know if this was the cause of me losing access to my purchase music, but this is when the problems started. When I got home today I unloaded all the music playlists off of my iphone using itunes, and then I added them back in and re-synced. This seem to do the trick. I can now listen to all of my purchased music and watch my purchased videos. Give it a try. I hope that we don't have to do this sort of thing all the time.

Certain songs won't play on devices

I have an iphone 5 and an older ipod colour 30gb.
Recently the iphone wouldn't get new songs added to it during syncing with itunes.
I removed all music then readded it. It now has all songs displayed on it, but will only play some.
The ones which don't play have the stop icon next to them in the playlist view and are greyed out.
It just skips to the next song when attempting to play. These songs played previously and are fine in itunes.
They are imported not bought MP3's.
After recently syncing the ipod recently it has the same issue, showing songs in the list but just skipping over them when playing.
I am loath to restore both devices, as it would seem like an itunes issue if it is affecting multiple devices similarly.
Is it possible to rebuild my library or something, or should i restore itunes?
Im a reasonably experienced mac user so have checked what i hope are sensible things, inc d
Ideas?
Thanks!

In addition I have now:
Reinstalled itunes,
rebuilt my itunes library,
restored my iphone and used a backup on it.
It is still doing it! The songs which won't play or are greyed out etc are different this time again though.

Some random songs/albums won't play on iPhone

I bought an album off of iTunes but after I synced my iPhone to my mac, the songs won't play on the iPhone. I did a spotlight search on the phone and it says they are on there but they won't play. I have my phone hooked up to my computer right now and it says i should have 1818 songs on the phone but in the phone's about section it says I only have 1773 songs. The unplayable songs range from being imported cd files to purchased songs from iTunes. I've tried restoring my phone, performing some disk utility stuff, reimporting my library on my mac, a lot of restarting and what not. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

I've had the exact same problem, and I think it's related to the iOS 4.2.1 update. Certain songs will simply not play on my iPhone after the 4.2.1 OS update, even though they work fine in iTunes. I've re-synced multiple times to no avail. The problem also happens with ringtones, which means I've missed a number of alarms because the ringtone I chose for the alarm no longer works on the iPhone!
I really hope Apple is planning to release a fix for this. It is incredibly frustrating.

[Help]iPhone 5s screen won't turn on / won't play sounds

Hello, my name is Bryan.
I've got a problem with my iPhone 5s. I opened my iPhone to fix an issue with the home button (Watched a guide on youtube on how to achieve this), and I connected everything as it is supposed to go, my home button is working but now my screen won't turn on or the phone won't play any sounds. I know the phone it's on because I can connect it to the computer and the computer recognizes it. Also, I tried calling it, and it rings on the phone I am calling from, but my iPhone simply won't play any sounds...
I am also sure the phone is not in DFU mode.
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
- Bryan

It won't even vibrate or do anything, but it's on.

IPhone 4S skipping songs/won't play some

I recently updated my iPhone 4S, in doing so, I had to reset it and restore it from my back up. Now that I've done that, when I'm playing music from my iTunes, it wil skip the most recently added songs and won't play them at all if you try and click on them manually to play them. It shows them as on my phone in my iTunes on the computer, but won't play them. HELP! Alot are for my wedding and I can't figure out how to fix this!!

Hi, In my case I had a memory space problem. Some songs were on the phone and some not.
- Gain space on your phone (copy alle the photos to hard drive before, then delete them)
- Sync your phone again with iTunes, he will copy the songs on your phone
