Qosmio G50 won't play certain disks

Hey
Recently my dvd drive in my Qosmio G50 won't play certain disks.
You can hear it attempting to then suddenly stopping and starting again. Others work fine but some just wont play.
I try them in other computers and it plays fine. So its not the disks.
Thanks for any help

Hi
This is nothing unusual and happens to all possible CD/DVD drives
I made the same experience with my CD/DVD drive.
What you could do is to check if an firmware update for your CD/DVD drive is available.
For that you should check the Toshiba European driver page the Qosmio G50 driver area.
Please check more info for details about supported CD/DVD drives
Otherwise I recommend using and testing different disks from different manufacturers.
My CD/DVD drive supports TDK and Verbatim but dont read other disks from other no-name manufacturer

Select one of those files, CMD+I, select QT 7 from the Open With list, and then click the Change All button. Repeat for any in the format class you want to change.

IPod won't play certain songs

Hi,
I old iPod died during a firmware upgrade and I went out and bought a fifth gen video iPod. I thought it was great but it is having problems.
1) When playing through playlists it comes to certain songs that it just won't play. The clock says 0:00 and doesn't advance. One can simply skip the song by moving forwards or backwards or going back to the menu. The songs play just fine in iTunes. However more and more songs are now not playing on the iPod.
They are not purchased from iTunes but are loaded from CD. So this is not the same problem previously reported. I have started loading songs back from the CDs but I do not want to go through this again a thousand times.
2) If I listen to songs on the iPod (the ones that work) and assign ratings, the ratings are not transferred back to the iTunes library. Neither does the play count get update. I do not have it set on manual sync.
I have tried everything in the articles I have found. No luck. I still think the last software for the iPod is a bit flaky...
Grateful for any ideas.

I have almost the same exact problem. The songs play fine on my computer (on iTunes) but some will be skipped on the actual iPod. When I attach my iPod and look at its library, the songs don't appear "ghosted" out but some have the little next to them.

Qosmio G50 won't finalize Windows 7 64-bit install

Hi everyone!
I recently wanted to updated my Qosmio G50-12f from vista 32bit to 7 ultimate 64bit. I did a clean install: formatted the c partition.
Everything seemed to work fine until the "setup is preparing your computer for first use" screen. At first I thought it just froze as it wouldn't go any further. Rebooting (in any modes) would get the same effect.
But to my great surprise and pleasure, it managed to pass that point when i desperately decided to wait long enough for a miracle to happen. But the problems still remain. The configuration process is just !REALLY! slow. I could painfully pass the firsts few screens, like enter computer's name, activation screen, security modes, but with a very long waiting time between each. And everytime it reaches this last security modes screen it would suddenly go to a BSOD:
Driver Power State Failure
* * * stop 0x0000009F (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA800193DD70, 0xFFFFF80000B9C518, 0xFFFFFA80029C8610)
Please anyone has any ideas about how to solve this?
Obviously it should be a driver problem, but how do i get to update any drivers without an OS running? I've seen such a feature in the repair section of the install DVD but it only accepts .inf files.
And I can t find those anywhere on toshiba's support website. Only .exe that you run from your already running OS.
Anyway the Qosmio G50 was not listed as incompatible with 7-64bit. So i'm a bit confused here!
Please Help^^

Hi
Fact is that notebooks are different from desktop PCs and many newer notebooks series are equipped with newer motherboards and controllers which need an additional driver.
The G50 needs an SATA driver in order to install the Windows OS.
The SATA driver should be a part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
Some words regarding the ISO image.
Who knows what ISO image it is seem you are trying to install an image which was created on different computer this could be a problem on notebooks with different hardware configuration
You should use either the Toshiba Recovery disk or the clean Microsoft Windows CD!

My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't play certain songs?

Okay, so here's what happened. I opened my iTunes (the latest one) and it's also on the latest iOS, and then plugged my iPod touch into the computer. Since an album didn't have album artwork and I wanted an album artwork to show up in my ipod, I added them. After that, I let it sync. After that, I tried to play it but it won't play. Since it is a bunch of songs from an album (Adele-19), when I try to press and play it, it would skip swiftly and it won't play. The album artwork is there already but it won't play, instead, it will skip songs. When I tried to play it in iTunes, it works perfectly.
Also, I've tried turning the device off, even tried resetting it. But no luck. I just got this device last Christmas, didn't fall or anything. Can someone help me? Should I delete the music and put it on iTunes again? Thanks in advance!

Yes, do that.

Safari won't play certain videos

Hi there,
it came to my attention that my Safari (latest version) won't play any video on the site "www.collegehumor.com". YouTube and every other popular site works fine for me. After googling this problem, I tried to play the videos with a different user; without success. After that, I uninstalled the Flash Player and reinstalled it (latest version), because this was suggested by my google searches... but I still can't play any video on collegehumor.com.
Has anyone any idea what the problem might be?
thanks in advance!

Email/ID problems won't play certain songs

Some early itunes were purchased with a letter missing from the email/id. Somehow it was corrected when one could actually speak with an itunes person. All music play and many, many more songs were purchased. Recently, I bought a new computer and reloaded the music and itunes and the original early itunes have reverted back to the inaccurate email and won't play. When the song is chosen a menu pops up that says, "This computer is not authorized to play (song). Would you like to authorize it? To play song you must authorize this computer" It has the incorrect ID. If I change the ID to the correct one, it says the computer is authorized and is 2 of 5. When I go to click on the song again to play it, the original error message pops up again and the song won't play. I'm afraid to sync my itouch because these songs are playing on it as it was last synced before the new computer. Help!

Maui, not sure how many as I have close to 1000 songs. If I were to guess, it might be somewhere around 100 or so? I don't know if it would burn to a CD - wouldn't I have to open it to burn it?

Mystery of why itunes won't play certain songs - quicktime plays them fine

symptoms:
most of my songs play normally.
the songs that don't play do show up normally in itunes playlist. when i try to play them, however, itunes skips over them immediately and moves on to the next file in the playlist.
this is not a standard "file not found"-type of error. no error message appears. the songs do NOT get a little grey exclamation on them afterwards.
after being skipped, the last played date and play count of the song file is updated in my library as though itunes thinks it played the song normally.
if right-click on the song in itunes and say "show sound file", the file is visible in the finder. if i view a preview in the finder, i CAN PLAY THE FILE FROM THE FINDER PREVIEW window, which makes this whole situation very odd.
i can also open the files and play them in quicktime player.app. they play fine.
the songs in question seem to be mostly old (~5 yrs) files that were encoded in a very old version of itunes (before it was called itunes) called soundjam. still i am pretty sure they are valid mp3 files. i'm quite sure that i have played them with itunes in the past, though i am not sure how long it has been since i last played them - perhaps a few years.
somehow it appears that the standard quicktime player for mp3 files is perfectly happy with this files, yet there is something about them that itunes does not like.
the files have relatively low bitrates (they are digitized versions of old cassette tapes). at least some of them (perhaps all) show in itunes as being encoded with SoundJam 2.6.2, and having variable bit rate.
i am using the latest version of itunes on mac os 10.4.6.
any suggestions?

so i think you understand that i was upset to find out that they had become unplayable/unconvertable in itunes.
Yes, I do understand. I have a few recordings of family members who died a few decades ago. They're still on tape and I want to digitize them before the magnetic particles "all point to the magnetic poles again".
I'm still in doubt in which format to store them however.
I digitized most of my old vinyl to AIFF and then converted them to Apple Lossless to save HD space.
The costs of large capacity disks have decreased over the years, so I'm thinking to leave the digitized recordings in AIFF format.
This format looks to last for at least a few decades (I hope).
I remember when old data on some type of punchcards (is this correct English?) had to be converted to go in the computer age.
The machines to read them already had been demolished, so they had to build a new one :/

My iPhone 4S won't play certain sounds

I just got this as a hand me down from my boyfriend because he has the new 5, pretty great condition, played all the sounds, videos, musics, etc with no problems.
I was playing a game earlier today with no issues, sound was great, and listened to music yesterday. For some reason it's not working now. I hear calls fine, FaceTime works well, and so do the little tests sounds in the settings. But it doesn't play sound for videos, games, music, or even the little texting clicks. The sound bar that usually shows up when you decrease or increase volume with the buttons doesn't show up, and the sound bar is completely gone when I try to play music.
Not sure what happened seeing as I've only been on Facebook and Skype since playing my game earlier. And yes, I've made sure that it is off of silent/vibrate. Just not sure what to check or do, seeing as this is my first iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I have already tried resetting using the home/lock buttons.

My Ipod 4th gen won't play certain songs/displays wrong name

I got a referbished Ipod nano two months back and it worked just fine. Then all my music was erased from Itunes for whatever reason (not important.) Then I restored all my songs from my Ipod by transfering all the encoded files into the itunes folder. This worked just fine on Itunes (everything plays just fine) but when I synced my Ipod I noticed that a lot of the songs wouldn't play. when I click on a song it will go into the song interface quickly then go back to the menu screen. also when I would play all the songs by an artist it would skip massive chunks of songs and only play one or two. When it did play a song it would trip up and display the details for the next song and would require some effort to get it to display the right thing. Also when I would click on some songs it would take two tries to get it to play. I noticed that this only happens on songs that I transfered from my old mp3 player and not songs that I bought on Itunes. anyway any help is appreciated. Please respond.

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/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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

ITunes won't play certain MP3s

Ok, I have about 10gigs worth of songs that will not play on the latest version of iTunes. In fact they don't even show up in iTunes.
Basic info:
All files are MP3s encoded at 192 bit rate.
None are protected.
All songs worked fine on old computer with older version of iTunes.
Running Windows Vista with latest version of iTunes.
Files will play in Windows Media player.
When double clicking on file, itunes will open but the song doesn't show up in the list nor does it play.
I've tried selecting files and folders to add to library but it just will not see the files.
The only work around I've found is to re-encode the files, but like I said it's 10gigs worth of music. I don't really want to do it again. Especially since they used to work just fine on older version.
Any help?

I believe iTune is very sensitive to problems with MP3s, and refuses to play ones that other players will accept.
You could try and repair them, some tag editors claim to do this or Google MP3 Repair.
I can't recomend a repair tool as I haven't tried any myself, but do make sure you have any files you attempt to repair backed up.

ITunes won't play certain MP3s that it used to play fine

I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 and iTunes 7.1.1.5. When I try to play some of my MP3s in iTunes, iTunes stops the song that was previously playing, but then doesn't start to play the song I just clicked. Nothing is frozen, and other MP3s work fine.
These MP3s previously worked fine in iTunes, and have worked without incident for more than 2 years. These MP3s also work fine in Windows Media Player 11, and Media Player Classic, and foobar2000.
I've tried using iTunes to convert ID3 tags for these particular files to different versions, and that completes successfully, but that doesn't solve the problem. The rest of my music works fine, and iTunes has no problem finding, renaming, or changing the ID3 tags of these particular MP3s.
As far as I can remember, these MP3s were created in iTunes.
Anybody have any ideas?

QT won't play certain .avi files but VLC will - Both files using same codec

Hi,
I have numerous video files and all but two will play on quicktime. However, they will play on VLC. The files are .avi just like the others and the codecs on the two streams are xvid and mpga. The other .avi files have the same codecs. I have all the norm codecs perian, div x, x vid etc.
The files do open in quicktime but only last 5 seconds as opposed to the full 42 or so minutes. The audio and video for the 5 seconds is fine. On VLC, they play for the entire 42 or so minutes.
any idea why they will play on VLC but not fully on quicktime? is there another codec I should get? Thanks for your help

The files do open in quicktime but only last 5 seconds as opposed to the full 42 or so minutes. The audio and video for the 5 seconds is fine. On VLC, they play for the entire 42 or so minutes.
Could be timecode breaks (would normally suspect the audio track). The QT Player is particularly strict with them. If you have QT Pro, you might try extracting both tracks to separate players and see which is causing the problem. If just the audio, you could then fix the timecodes (MPEG Streamclip?) or convert to another compatible format and and re-merge the original video with the "fixed" audio track.
