Quicktime in Firefox, music not playing

If I play an mp3 file in my Safari and IE browser (Open Location) it works just fine. But when opening the file in Firefox or Netscape the music plays for a few seconds and then
it stops. Here's the url to the song:
http://ahsyad.com/shakeitoff.mp3
Can anyone tell me why? I ran out of guesses.

QuickTime X and Safari in Snow Leopard no longer seem to support the EMBED tag (which isn't part of the standard, BTW, albeit is widely supported). Apple's advice is to use JavaScript instead to include a video or audio file. See this web page, the "Doing It the Easy Way" section, for instructions.
Hope this helps.

    iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Music Not Played Recently

    In an effort to make the iPhone truly randomly shuffle music (I hear the same tracks multiple times per day even though I have shuffle turned on) I created a "Smart" Playlist called "Music Not Played Recently".
    This supposedly Smart Playlist contains only one rule as follows:
    "Last Played is not in the last 14 days"
    There are about 1200 tracks on my iPhone but I still hear the same tracks multiple times per day so this playlist does not work. (I thought perhaps I had a few duplicate tracks but no there is only one version of each track on the iPhone and in my collection)
    In iTunes the playlist seems to work fine and I can see tracks drop out of the list as they are played.
    Question is:
    Do Smart Playlists such as the above work on the iPhone?
    If not, why not?
    If so, what am I doing wrong that it works in iTunes but not on the iPhone?

    anyone?

    It is Correct for your Current OS = Leopard = 10.5.8
    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download...
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    In the US...
    1-800-MY-APPLE or 1-800-676-2775
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • I recently downloaded a series of instructional videos.  They are in mp4 format and rather large (~500MB on average).  When I try and open them with Quicktime (default) they will not play.  Are there file size restrictions?  Any suggestions would be great

    I recently downloaded a series of instructional videos.  They are in mp4 format and rather large (~500MB on average).  When I try and open them with Quicktime (default) they will not play.  Are there file size restrictions?  I have gone through all of the most recent software updates.  Any suggestions would be great.  Thanks.

    Try VLC Media Player.  It has a reputation for playing just about anything you throw at it.

  • Firefox 4 not playing quicktime properly on OSX 10.6

    When I upgraded to Firefox 4 on my iMac, OSX 10.6, it no longer played QuickTime video or audio properly. The symptoms tend to be inconsistent. Sometimes the audio would play but not the video. Sometimes the video would play but blink off and on with a white screen. Mp3 files will not play at all on some occasions and will play partially on others. When I removed Firefox 4 and reinstalled 3.5, everything worked fine again. Anyone have a suggestion?

    I see that many have this problem. Does anyone have a workaround or resolution?

  • Firefox does not play quicktime

    Hi
    Two days ago, the quicktime on firefox stops working - i only see the quicktime icon (clock like) with ? in the middle. Please help .
    Thanks.

    Which version of FF are you using?
    QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
    Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.
    This tells the browser not to to display Flash Media and lets the newly installed Adobe software work its magic.
    ==================
    If the above thread doesn't help, try this...
    Last but not least: Thanks to QuickTimeKirk........
    Quit QuickTime.
    Open User (Home)/Library/Preferences and delete any .plist file with QuickTime in its name. Don't worry as a new one will be created.
    Open System Preferences/QuickTime and see if the window and tabs work as they should.

  • Help! Music not "playing" in Itunes

    So I updated to the newest version of iTunes (7.3.2) today and upgraded my iPhone to 1.1.1.
    Now, any music in my iTunes library will not play. The top of the screen shows the song title and artists name/album, and the run time...but nothing happens. I hit play...nothing. I try clicking randomly along the track...nothing. My volume is up (I can load up Youtube and listen with no issues. As many times as I hit Play/Pause, it never moves. My Apple TV works fine as does my iPhone. Anyone know why?

    Searched and found the answer...for those curious...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1178079&tstart=0
    Finally, someone figured it out!
    Basically,
    Start Menu>Control Panel>(at this point, I just typed "Quicktime" into the search menu)QuickTime, then click the Audio tab and in that tab, the "Select Audio Playback and Recording Devices" button. A small window popped up and said some sort of driver enhancement was causing problems, would I like to stop it? Click Yes.
    Try iTunes again--mine finally works now!

  • Music not playing. Corrupted files?

    Ok so my library exists on an unjournaled external drive. I got another one to accommodate my video collection and left the iTunes library on the original HDD. After a few days of HDD maintenance (longest being defragmenting, which I did more than once in the time frame) on all 3 of my drives all data was in great shape. Later I ran into an error, my eDrive would mount and unmount constantly and I couldn't eject the drives. I proceeded to shut my computer down. The new HDD (without the eDrive) successfully ejected upon shut down, the second remained completely on, spinning and everything. Normally the drives power off when ejected and then I hit the power switch. I reluctantly turned it off. When I rebooted I ran a check for corrupted data, one unimportant image file was corrupted. Not bad. Later I found a 1.8GB (ish) game would not open and asked to be reinstalled. I did so and lost my character data, oh well. Now I find that chunks of my iTunes library (no podcasts, just music) are not playing. Those chunks I would consider localized as they remain in the albums. When playing through, iTunes will simply skip the tracks and go on to the next playable one. I reveal the file in the Finder and attempt to open it in Quicktime and it is not a file that Quicktime understands (-2048). So what is here? Even after syncing the files are still on my iPod, should I delete them from iTunes and use Senuti to get them back? Anything is welcome.
    Bonus points to anyone who can tell me if there's a way to prevent iTunes from automatically syncing my iPod on connection. An example of what I mean is I hold a key as iTunes launches to prevent the sync.
    Thanks,

    Thank you very much!
    And to anyone else, I've found that some corrupted files have made it to my iPod. It just skips them and continues. I have yet to find out if it is growing, and if it is I have some paranoia theories.
    1. Modern Mac Virus (But the last Mac virus would of been released before iTunes it's been so long, it couldn't be)
    2. iTunes corrupts songs that are not purchased from the iTMS
    3. The RIAA has a virus that spreads to computers without copy protected music
    I doubt my defragmenting harmed it. Luckily I can just get my music back, but it's a time consuming process and something I shouldn't have to do..

  • My music not playing with slideshow

    Since updating my iPhoto to version '11  version 9.5,  the music I select to play with my slideshows does not play.  The canned theme music does play however.

    I had problems with some 3rd party slideshow apps when I had the library on an external HD. However, I'm not sure I moved it there like I told you to do.
    If you have Quicktime Pro there is a fairly easy way to add your music to the slideshow. It goes like this:
    1 - export the slideshow from iPhoto without the music.
    2 - if you have more than one music track to use join them together into a new file with an audio editor like Garageband, Amadeus Pro or Audacity.
    3 - open your music track with QT Pro 7.
    4 - Open the slideshow movie with QT Pro.
    4 - in the slideshow window type Command+A (select all) and then Command+C (copy).
    5 - go to the slideshow window in QT Player and select Edit->Add to Selection and Scale.
    6 - save the merged item as a self contained movie.
    This will add the slideshow to the music and scale the slideshows length to match the music. Don't do it the other way around as the music timing will be altered changing the speed and pitch of the music.
    With this method and if you have more than one track you can overlap and fade between tracks eliminating the dead air that often results between tracks. It also will assure that the music will end with the last slide. NOTE: I add a blank, black slide at the end of my slideshows so the last slide fades to black and the music ends on the black slide.

  • Firefox will not play XM radio for 3 wks. Used to work. Site comes up, but no sound.

    I used to play XM radio on Firefox, but now cannot get music to play. The site loads, and the stations page loads, and shows what has been selected to play, but I can fear no music. I am able to hear XM using Safari on this laptop. I am running OS 10.4.11, and that has not changed.

    I installed the Media Pimp-Internet Radio add on from the main Firefox tab and XM online works again!

  • Purchased Music Not Playing on iPod but on iTunes

    Before I start, I have had this problem before (6 months ago) and it resolved itself through some unknown fix (with the help of a Apple Genius Bar who had no idea what worked). The purchased songs - mine and others who use my computer - play fine in iTunes, and play from the iPod on a PowerBook, and plays purchased music loaded from a PowerBook - but will NOT play purchased songs when sync'd to my Windows laptop (I know. . .). I have restored, deauthorized, reauthorized, restored on PowerBook and then again on Window laptop. . . Still NO music. As it does for everyone else, it plays burned music. . . I am stumped. I am open to anything short of incantations. It does seem to have started soon after iTunes 7 was loaded. . .

    I gave up with the glitch and got another iPod. . .

  • Purchased videos and music not playing on ipod

    i purchased some music and videos, while using my wifes powerbook g4, loaded them onto my ipod (which i had setup using my pc) now i see the music and videos and when i try playing them the music shows up then goes to the next song. the videos just go to a black screen.
    now i have loaded my cd's onto my wifes powerbook and have been able to play them on my ipod no problem. just the purchased music/videos from itunes, is not playing
    what did i do wrong.

    Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

  • Why will music not play on my iPhone?

    None of my music is playing on iTunes from my phone.  It works on my computer, but only about 4 songs will play on my phone.  I have tried restarting my phone and syncing it to the computer and the music will still not work.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    My problem was that the voice tracks on my iTunes files AND TuneIn Radio were at extremely low volume, while the background tracks were OK. Raising the volume to max made the voice tracks barely audible, but then the rest was garbled. This was the first time I played music since upgrading to iOS 6 (iPhone 4 (CDMA)). Just to do something, I went to Settings/Music and toggled a few of the ON-OFF settings, e.g., Volume Limit, EQ, etc. When I went back to play music, all was well. IN ADDITION, the sound quality and R-L separation seem much improved. I suspect a reset would have accomplished the same.(?)
    I have not seen any reports of any iOS 6 changes in audio decoding, but it seems like there are.
    Anybody have a clue?
