QuickTime will only play ONCE

Running QT (latest version) on a WinXPsp2 machine.
Every time we run QT content from a website, it will run once but not run again. There is no error, just unresponsiveness. If we close the browser and reacquire the webpage, it works again ... once. Updating did not help.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately this will not help you much, but I discovered this problem on my XP Media Center box AND my Vista laptop. It happened around the same time. All of a sudden, QT movies would only play once. I'd close the browser and it would work again, just once. I use Safari and Firefox as well...guess what, they both work fine. So there is a work around...don't use IE. I do get a QT plugin error though, it says the plugin did not initialize. Seeings that it used to work fine and stopped on both machines at the same time, I'm assuming it was some update, but using Safari or Firefox is quicker and easier than troubleshooting IE...

Quicktime will only play my video once

When I download a video sent to me via my FTP server, quicktime will only play it once. If I try again it will post a message saying something along the lines of "Quicktime is unable to open this file" because it's not a format it recognized. The files were made on a Mac and were exported with quicktime pro as a "export for web" changing the file extension from .m4v to .mov. Also when I upload it to youtube, the audio does not get uploaded. Could it be that changing the file extension is creating all these problems? If so, how can I get around it? What setting could I use to export a small version of the quicktime as an .mov comparable to the web export?

This is absolutely true. Each new release of the XFI drivers have steadily gotten worse for me. Last night I removed all software and drivers, rebooted into safe mode and ran driver cleaner. Then booted back into normal and tried to install the 2005 CD drivers that shipped with the card. It says v5.2.2.43. 8/8/2005 under the driver tab in device manager.
I kept getting blue screen reboots during the driver reinstall and then again on bootup afterwards, so I discovered in safe mode that that in the driver folder on the CD, if you run the driver setup utilty manually instead of through the creative flash installer, there is an option to remove drivers. This cleans out more then then the add/remove programs uninstaller and driver cleaner combined! Because after i ran that and rebooted into normal, everything installed fine.
I am happy to report that with these CD drivers and software, I no longer have crackling during loud scenes of movies or games in all channels and my center channel now plays sound correctly from all sources. I believe as well that I wasnt getting as many channels of sound as i should have, which may have aided the crackling. So to anyone with issues like that, DOWNGRADE.

I am using FC Express HD, and for some reason, when I export a Quicktime movie, the final movie will only play audio, and the video is black. I only get the actual video if I export as self contained, or if I exportusing quicktime conversion. Why?

ITunes 10 will only play the first track of a CD, including brand new CDs.

I reinstalled my operating system and had to reinstall iTunes. Now I have version 10 and after I import a CD it will only play the first track then progressively go track by track skipping through the rest without playing. Does it even whether I try to play from the CD or from the music section I imported it to. Even have 3 brand new CDs that it is doign the same thing to, so I have a hard time believing it is a disc reading issue.

How come this sound only plays once?

Here is a program that illustrates what I am doing:
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.sound.sampled.*;
public class soundApp extends JFrame
    JButton button;
    Clip clip;
    public soundApp()
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setSize(300,300);
        File file = new File("tada.wav");
        try
            AudioInputStream audiosource = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(file);
            DataLine.Info info =
                new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, audiosource.getFormat());
            clip = (Clip)AudioSystem.getLine(info);
            clip.open(audiosource);
        catch(UnsupportedAudioFileException e){}
        catch(LineUnavailableException e){}
        catch(IOException e){}
        button = new JButton("Play sound");
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            if(e.getActionCommand().equals("Play sound"))
                clip.start();   //HERE IS WHERE I START IT....sorry for caps.
        Container contentpane = getContentPane();
        contentpane.add(button);
        setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
      soundApp soundapp = new soundApp();
}How come the clip only plays once?

well the answer is simple, because once the clip will stop the sound will stop too. you have not used any loop or anything that shows that the clip should go on forever. you can give some condition like play the clip unless some other button is pressed or some othe action is performed or so on. just use while or any or iterative or conditional statement to get your ay out.

Can anyone assist me with this issue?

To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

IPhone 5. Prior to the iPhone 5, I could listen to podcasts one after the other without doing anything. Now it will only play one podcast at a time, then I have to click on the next one. Not a great feature when driving. TIA, Sarah

How do I get it to just play through all the podcasts that I've downloaded just like my 1st gen?
Group and order your podcasts to a playlist. Then play them from the playlist.

My Itunes will load on Apple TV and play, but only plays one song at a time. It will not shuffle or continuously play an album. All of the songs display, but will only play one at a time...home sharing is on. Any suggestions?

My Itunes info will load onto Apple TV, but will only play one song at a time of my music. Home sharing is on, airplay is on, router info has been reset. What am I missing? It has never done this before....

Songs will only play one at a time

After updating iTunes, using the last update 7.6.2, it will only play one song at a time and stops. It will not play continuously through a playlist. Am I missing something in the setting? Any suggestions?

Are there check marks beside all the songs in the playlist? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. If you hold down the CRTL key and click beside any song in your list then all the check boxes can be toggled on or off: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

Since update iTunes will only play one song at a time.

I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't find it. iTunes will only play one song and then it's done. It won't continuously play from my libray. I have over 5000. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I just can't find the solution. I even click on the next button and it stops.

Make sure all songs have a checkmark in front of them.

Help! itunes will only play one song at a time

My itunes is acting screwy. I open a playlist and play the first song, and itunes only plays that song. it won't keep going forward. it doesn't freeze up; i just have to manually play the next song. this just started yesterday with no adjustments, new downloads...no nothing. does anyone know what is going on? i have already uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, but to no avail. same problem. is this a setting somewhere that i don't know about?

Are the boxes beside each song checked? iTunes will only play the songs that are checked. To check all the songs press control + click in any box. To check only some songs, you can highlight them and then right click and choose check selection.
