Quicktime Does Not Play All of .wmv File

I have had problems with Quicktime 6.5.2 cutting off .wmv video clips and not playing them to the end. I have viewed the files on a Windows machine and know there is more to them but Quicktime 6.5.2 doesn't play them to the end. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a solution? or has anyone experienced the same issue?

Hi Rodney,
You can try Windows Media Player for Mac or
the VLC player.
Some WMVs just don't play well in Quicktime.

IPod shuffle does not play all the songs on it

I have removed all songs and restored the device. Added songs again and it still does not play all the songs it says it has one it. I am well under the limit for the device. Any suggestions?

Try:

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync

- Reset all settings, The delete all is only applicable for 4G and later
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:

TS1424 Purchased an album one or more records does not play all the way through. A 13 minute track only plays for the first 3.05 minutes and then stops and the program locks up. Larry

I just purchased a album and one or more of the tracks does not play all the way through. One track which is a 13 minute track will only play for the first 3 minutes. Larry

Delete the songs from your iTunes library and redownload them by clicking "Purchased", under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store.

JMF does not play sound for .avi file and no video for .mov file

Hi,
I am trying to use JMStudio to transmit media files from one computer to another.
However, when I try to transmit .mov file it only plays audio no video is displayed on other computer.
And when I transmit .avi file I can see the Video on other machine but it does not
play any sound.
I tried using capture devices like - webcam and mic and they work perfectly fine.
Can anyone please tell me the solution for this.
Thank you in advance.

I discovered the same problem too..
I think it is a general Format problem.
When i analyzed the tracks in my .avi and .mov files before rtp streaming with jmf, I found each media containing just 1 track..
This track was a video track, no audio at all.
Other formats I tried, like .mpg, revealed both audio and video tracks, and performed perfectly.
I'm still on more research.. will get the solution to you if u don't find one before I'm done..

Time Machine does not backup all of my files

Hi,
If I compare my Dropbox folder to what Time Machine backups there are differences which means that Time Machine does not backup all files:
diff <(cd "/Users/phil/Dropbox" && ls -R | sort) <(cd "/Volumes/TimeMachineBackup/Backups.backupdb/Computername/Latest/Macintosh HD/Users/phil/Dropbox" && ls -R | sort)
There are also differences if I compare my user folder to the Time Machine Backup:
diff <(cd "/Users/phil/" && ls -R | sort) <(cd "/Volumes/TimeMachineBackup/Backups.backupdb/Computername/Latest/Macintosh HD/Users/phil/" && ls -R | sort)
I did not exclude the folders affected from the Time Machine backup.
I have verified this behaviour on other computers as well.
Does anybody else have this kind of problem?
Philipp

These commands solved the problem for now:
1) Stop the Dropbox desktop application (if needed)
- Click on the Dropbox icon.
- Choose Quit/Stop/Exit
2) Open your Terminal app (Located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
3) Copy and paste the following lines into the Terminal, one at a time, and press RETURN after each one. PLEASE make sure you copy and paste these commands (don't type them by hand), as getting them wrong could cause some harm. You'll be prompted for your computer user's password (not your Dropbox password) after entering the first command. Keep in mind that the password field in the terminal will remain blank as you type your password. After you type it, just press ENTER.
sudo chflags -R nouchg ~/Dropbox ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-master
sudo chown "$USER" "$HOME"
sudo chown -R "$USER" ~/Dropbox ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-master
sudo chmod -RN ~/.dropbox ~/Dropbox ~/.dropbox-master
chmod -R u+rw ~/Dropbox ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-master

"Shuffle" does not play all songs

I have the original iphone that I have had very good luck with. Lately, I've noticed that when using the shuffle feature of the ipod, it only plays some of my songs - for instance, I have 344 songs, but only 316 are playing in shuffle mode. When I take it out of shuffle mode, the little number changes to the actual number of songs I have. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? The songs being left out are the songs most recently downloaded.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 3GS, without any doubt the shuffle mode is not playing all songs. I have 600 songs, and I only use the shuffle mode. Of these 600 songs:
- 50 have never been played in 6 months (play counter: 0)
- 256 have been played less than 3 times
- 129 have been played less than 7 times.
- Remaining songs, except from the top 4, have been played from 8 to 79 times.
The first four have been played respectively: 511, 319, 223, and 127 times. There obviously is a bias :\. I've mostly never heard more than half of my playlist (and again: I only use shuffle mode).
If you find a solution, please let me know

Shuffle does not play all songs in the library

ITUNES DOES NOT PLAY ALL MUSIC FILES AFTER DATA RECOVERY

My external Iomega Firewire 160gig HD, all of a sudden, changed the drive letter from H to F with unknown format.
I recovered music files ( Using Stellar Phoenix FAT)and files/folders are in iTunes but only 20-30 play (out of over 6,000)
I can play CD and rip new music in iTunes, though.
Any suggestions how to get my music play all library files??
Dell Windows XP Media center

WiseBird,
There might be several causes for that kind of erratic behaviour:
1st use Disk Utility to check your internal disk as well as the external one.
2nd Your Library database might be damaged
- Quit iTunes
- Goto ./Users/YourUserName/Music/iTunes
There will 2 files named something "Library" - move them to your desktop
- Launch iTunes
As you're now starting from scratch, iTunes will offer to search for audio tracks - Don't let it.
- Your iTunes should be "clean"
- in iTunes Preferences - Advanced - General:
Point the Music Folder Location to the appropriate folder on your ext hd
Disable "Copy Files to iTunes music folder....."
- Quit Preferences
- From iTunes Menu - File choose "Add to library..." + select that folder on your ext hd that contains all your tracks.
- All your tracks should be back by now in iTunes Library.
- To get your playlists back: From iTunes Menu - File choose "Import" and open that .xml file that you moved to your desktop (might work but need not).

Quicktime 10 not playing RECENT iTunes m4v files

Hello All,
I purchase a lot of movies and TV from iTunes. I always watch them with Quicktime.
After upgrading to iTunes 10.1 on my Mac Pro Nov 17, Quicktime 10 stopped playing RECENT iTunes purchases. No movies downloaded since mid September will play. There is no audio; the window is black; play mode lasts a couple of seconds and then stops. Older ones play normally.
Anyone able to confirm this on your systems?
Big thanks, Brett

Hi.
I have the same problem. After several e-mails back and forth between me and iTunes Store Support I'm still where I started out with this problem. I was asked to reinstall iTunes as well, and I did. No change at all.
I have the latest iTunes and Quicktime installed. I like to save the video files like movies, tv show episodes and digital copies on my external hard drive and delete some of them from my itunes/mac to free up some space. I just play the files from my hard drive on Quicktime, so I won't have to import them into iTunes again.
However, I've noticed that any video file downloaded from iTunes after November 1st won't play in Quicktime. The tv show episodes I downloaded prior to Nov 1st play just fine, but if they were downloaded after Nov 1st, no matter what date they were originally released on, as long as I downloaded them after Nov 1st 2010, they won't play in Quicktime. Black screen, no sound.
This is really annoying as I buy lots of Blu-ray movies, and some of them comes with Digital Copies. I have several season passes too, and the latest episodes won't open in Quicktime either. I've tried everything I can think of, everything the people working with iTunes Store Support told me to do and still nothing.
If anyone finds a way to fix this, please let me know. I would be very grateful for any help fixing this problem.
I'm kinda glad I'm not the only person with this problem. That proves there's something wrong with iTunes, the OS, Quicktime or something else, probably Apple related. On the other side, I'm sorry you guys are having this really annoying problem too.
Sincerely,
gleek2009
edit: Btw, I just wanted to say that all those video files purchased/downloaded after Nov 1st still play fine in iTunes, just not in Quicktime. If that makes any difference.

Play All Script does not Play All !!

i need to be able to add a Play All button to the various menu pages on my project.
I tried using the sample scripts in the manual, and aside from changing the movie file names, it was letter and space perfect. Yet when i tried testing it using the Simulator the first movie played through but then instead of jumping to the next movie it just went back to the menu.
Is there a problem with the script in the manual, or perhaps simulator does not simulate this particular function? ideas how i should tackle this?
thanks
adam

If you have muliple tracks in DVDSP, I usually use stories to handle play all behaviors. This allows you to let each track end jump back to the menu, but specify a different and jump for the stories, to go from one story to the next track's play all story.
If you are using scripts, you need to set the end jumps to the scripts. I find using scripts as pre-commands on a track doesn't always work, particularly if you press the "next" button on the remote. So the flow would go something like this:
menu: jump to script "play all, which sets your "play all" gprm to 1
script jumps to track, which jumps to script "after track so-and-so" which says if play all=1, then play next track, otherwise, return to menu.
each track needs to jump to a new script which tells it what to do by checking for the play all gprm

Windows media player does not play all videos

This laptop s a HP G71-340US model... Before it played all of my music and video files but lately it began giving me te error message... windows media player encountered an error when opening this file. It still plays quick time and mpg files but avi, mts, mod, movie clips, video clips.... they do not open or if they do they dont play right. I am frustrated as I have a project due i n a few days and I am working wth several movies taken with different cameras. Any ideas. I have uninstalled and reinstalled media player and tried running trouble shooters but no answers so far. Thanks.

Hi,
Try the following to force Windows Media Player to re-build the Library Database.
A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
This is a zipped file. If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
Make sure Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre are closed.
Launch Free Commander, double click Users, double click 'your user name', double click Local Settings, double click Application Data, double click Microsoft and double click Media Player. Delete all the files that have the extension .wmdb - do not delete any folders.
Close Free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now begin to re-build the library database which may take a while, but when it has finished see if the movie files play Ok now.
Regards,
DP-K

Quicktime does not play audio

I've found that since upgrading to Lion, that some .mov files do not play the audio soundtrack when you play them in Quicktime 10.1.
Audio is fine in Quicktime Player 7
Is this a bug with Lion?

Some third party software can change the default settings in the Audio MIDI setup.
Open the app (found in your Utilities folder) and change the audio output settings to 44100Hz and try the file again.

Quicktime Does Not Open All Movies

I have a video that was made in 1997, stored on a 1.44MB diskette, and now I'm trying to open it with Quicktime. Quicktime simply comes up with a white screen but goes through the automation.
The Type is "MooV' and the Creator is "TVOD". I have never heard of this type or creator. I have tried several different applications that work with videos without success. I know the video is there as some of the video applications show a proper thumbnail image of whats in the movie.
I would like to translate this to Quicktime. Some of the older software allowed this.
Can anyone help me?
Bud

You can try VisualHub from Techspansion:
http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
Also, try dragging the file on top of RealPlayer 10 while holding
down both  and Option (Apple Option) keys. RealPlayer is supposed
to be able to handle QuickTime files, it may even be able to open some
supported files that the current version of QuickTime will not open.
RealPlayer is available here:
https://order.real.com/pt/order.html?country=US&language=EN&mppi=0&mpposlist=0&mpst=0&ppath=cpmacpl060204a&pageregion=player_button&pcode=rn&opage=realh ome_spmac_bb&src=realhome_spmac_bb_0_1_1_0_0_20
( If the above link does not work, go to the front page, http://www.real.com/ , and select the blue button near the top right, " RealPlayer - Free " ).
If you are not able to open it with either of the two suggestions above, you can send me the file, and I will try to open it. I am almost sure that I can find a way to open it.
Hope this helps, take care.
