Safari not playing FB message sound files.

In Safari 6.0.5 on Mountain lion, when in facebook, in messages, if someone sends me a sound file when I click it it just flashes but will not play. Other content such as posted video or youtube links in feed will play. If I go to Firefox browser, works fine.

Back to Safari > Preferences this time select the Extensions tab.
If there are any installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension back on at a time, quit and relaunch Safari and test until you find the extension that's causing the conflict and uninstal.

  • Mail 4.1,not playing "new message" sound, and some sent mail not in outBox

    For some reason, no "new message" sound is being played (has been like this for a few weeks), and some (~1/10) sent mail does not show up in the sent box (been like this for a long time).
    And yes, preferences are set to "play new messages sound"
    Any ideas?

    I would guess that's an IMAP account, go into mail preferences and select advanced tab for that account and uncheck use IDLE command and the new mail sound should work.
    Not sure about the sent mail problem.

  • Nokia 101 is not playing half my MP3 files

    Bought a new Nokia 101 couple days ago.
    Installed an SD card with several MP3 files (mostly audio books, some music). All these files play without a hitch on all devices I'v tried them on - right from bare basic phones, smartphones to comps.
    Bit I find that a approx half of them won't play on the Nokia 101!. Error message displayed - "File format not supported. Please select another song".
    Discovered that this phone has a ridiculous limitation of not being able to play MP3 files of bitrate lower than 32 kbps. So checked all the files and after eleminating the < 32 kbps files, it is still not playing about half the files that are well above 32 kbps. The other half or is, it plays well. So its not like the MP3 player is totally broken.
    What could be the issue? Please help, as I need the phone to play these files if it is to be of any use to me.
    Quite disappointed with Nokia, as no other phone or player has such issues with playing anything.

    @Srikant - Are you sure? Nokia Care told me on phone that it can be done; and asked me to bring the phone. My concern is that I currently don't have the time for it, and was hoping to find some solution here. Nothing is worse than having to take the time and effort for taking a brand new product for service.
    I don't see a PC interface port on the 101 like the one on my 1112. But I don't know if there is one inside the cover or something... haven't checked.
    While we would all like to use MP3s of high bitrates, its not always a choice we can make. I have some files of <32 kbps, and I now know this amazing phone can't play them. But I really don't understand why it isn't playing half my files that are in the whereabouts of 50 kbps. Its not possible to get these files at originally higher bitrates. I guess I could try to encode these files at higher bitrates, but thats not going to increase their quality! Besides, these are audio books and no music, so the files at existing bitrate are fairly good. And really, why should I be spending time in doing all this, when every other phone, including very basic ones can play these files on the same SD card without a hitch?
    I mainly bought this phone as a secondary phone for some voice calling and for its MP3 player. It fails badly at both jobs as its single speaker design makes any privacy on calls impossble - everyone around can hear the opposite person loudly. And as an MP3 player it fails for the reason above, for having a barely ok speaker (not quite good enough even for audio books) and for being so bare bones as to not even have a seek option, which is a REALLY bad thing when you are listening to audio books.
    Even no-name Chinese phones can do a better job.

  • After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

    After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
    The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

    I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
    I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.

  • How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
    If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
    Use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the IP address if static.. eg
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
    You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
    Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

  • Safari not playing youtube videos

    safari not playing youtube videos all of a sudden plz help playing on chrome and safari plug in and flash player is up to date and java is enabled ...

    I found on an other post more informations. The problems is in OS X since Yosemite 10.10.1 it doesn't work, we will have to wait for a new Update form apple (10.10.2) to resolve that issue.
    Use an other browser instead meanwhile. For more information ; Re: Yosemite 10.10.1 causing Safari not to play YouTube videos...

  • Play button for sound files in the browser..?

    I wonder if there's a setting (or something) in Finder so it displays a play button for sound files the same way as it does for video files?

    Actually is sounds as if it was working correctly. Mute only mutes notifications (phone rings, text, email, etc). What is less explicable is why you felt the need to resurrect this thread.

  • 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.

  • Sound files not playing from inDesign SWF file

    Using Dropbox file transfer, I'm sending a colleague an inDesign project  as a SWF file - a flip book with audio. The files in Dropbox are the SWF Movie files, the HTML and the Resources folder. My colleague is trying upload these to his website. I presumed the sound files would go up via my colleagues FTP and Flash player would link to them. The sound files are functioning. Can anyone outline the procedure one should follow to get Flash to engage with this?   Is there a better locale fo this thread?

    That's what I thought too, but all files are there.  I used to have numerous files (6-8) in a dropbox folder with all parts: cptx, htm, swf, js and the html would play fine by just clicking on the link.  Once it started not working I made individual folders with each part of the file and included them into each seperate folder.  Still not loading/opening.  This is happening to everyone I send the link to.  I've tried opening it in different browsers too.
    Here is a link if anyone wants to see what happens:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/460vq2nqu4dbwf1/courseconnect_training_2013.htm
    Here is how I am including each part of the file in the actual folder:

  • Safari not playing embedded midi music clips

    I recently noticed that embedded midi music clips in Apple Mail and in Safari do not play. Basically, I am referring to background music one often hears while going to some web sites. Particularly those individual web sites folks have created. Of course, many on this forum, who have never been a Windows user and specifically, Internet Explorer, probably never realized there even was any background music.
    This is not necessarily a issue for me, but it is for my Mom ,who, along with many others her age, like animated graphics and music in their emails and web sites.
    I still can't believe Apple Mail and Safari can't auomatically play embedded midi files. Especially given that Internet Explorer and Outlook Express can.
    Many one option is using Firefox and Thunderbird for a Mac?

    Hi,
    I still can't believe Apple Mail and Safari can't auomatically play embedded midi files. Especially given that Internet Explorer and Outlook Express can.
    Safari can provided the page has been coded correctly. Many sites that add sounds use the <bgsound> tag which is only supported by Internet Explorer and not part of the HTML standard.

  • Why will Safari not play MP3s embedded in my iWeb pages when Firefox can?

    One would have thought that if iWeb was going to get picky over the scenarios in which it would behave correctly, it would favour Apple-centric enviroments. But this doesn't appear to be the case when building an iWeb site with embedded MP3 files.
    The published site behaves perfectly when viewed in Firefox and yes, even IE's latest incarnation. Files may take a while to download but they play when the download has finished. Safari is a different story. The MP3 files embedded in some pages simply will not play when viewed with Safari.
    This page in particular has never worked in Safari -
    http://www.whisperycat.co.uk/version_5/sounds/Entries/2011/3/23_Promenade.html
    A small blue questionmark appears instead of the 'Play' button.
    Any workarounds or is it just the case that Safari and iWeb are incompatible on this fundamental point???

    Well it looks as though I answered my own question. A Google search revelas that Safari has had over 2 years' history of reported problems with the mp3 format -
    http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=safari+wont+play+mp3&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=nkulT9_wA82g8gOPj8ntBA
    - and the solution is... STOP USING MP3 FILES
    Yes, mp3 format is out, mp4 format is in. SO I'll need to upload MP4 versions of my audio files and then retry.

  • Ios 8 iphone can not play audio message in imessage

    Seems I can send sound clips from my iPhone 5, but when someone sends me one I get a box with a ? in it and can not play it even though it says I have received an audio message. If I am at the lock screen I can hit play but then it appears to freeze.
    Any ideas? Below is what I see in my messages.. they should be audio messages.

    Just downloaded it about an hour ago and the same thing happened to me. I guess I should just wait it out then?

  • Premiere Pro CC not playing fair with .mov files

    I have a CC account and use Premiere Pro on my PC with no issues so far except that the RAM and Graphics card suck. So I decided to run on my laptop running windows 8 rather than 7.
    AE runs with no issues (so far), but when I use Premiere Pro it does not like .mov files for some reason.
    I imported files from my iPad and it gives me this message:
    Error Message
    "The FIle Has no Audio or Video Streams"
    To work around it for now, I converted the file into mp4 and imported to edit from there. Now issue is that we need to place a lower third. I have an AE project as the .mov file imports into that no problem, but when I then export as quicktime file for the alpha channel it still will not import into Premiere Pro, same error message.
    I can export as .avi but then the file screams 'MASSIVE' as it is over 1.5gb cpmpared to the 32mb as a .mov file.
    Bottom line, cannot get any .mov to import into PP on my laptop even though it works fine on my PC. Also, .mov files play fine in AE??
    Please HELP
    Martin

    Hi MartinSalteruk,
    Thanks for contacting Adobe Forums,
    As I understood you are only getting issues with .mov files, Please check if you Quicktime player installed on the system.
    if not click here to download the Quicktime player

  • Audio not playing out of QT file (kinda) in QT 10.2

    So, I called up an old (and large!) HD file I had of a show I produced (ProRes 422, dual, stereo, etc.)
    My default QuickTime Player (10.2) pops up... loads the file. I play it...  But NO audio plays! (Checked the internal volume, of course.)
    Curious. I ingested it into FCPX. But... Sound (and picture) played FINE.
    Curiouser... I loaded it into QT7, and the audio played fine THERE, too.
    How can I get my audio to show up in QT10? (I'm including a screenshot of the inspector from QT10? There is show 48kHz discrete (stereo) channels.)

    Mind giving me a step-by-step on how I actually execute this change in QT7Pro, and... how I "save" same QT file so it'll play as a QT10 file.
    One work flow would be:
    1) Open the file in the QT 7 Pro app.
    2) Open the "Properties" window.
    3) Select the audio track and open the "Audio Setting" tab in ther lower half of the "Properties" window.
    4) Click the "Channel 1" ("Discrete-0") line in the "Channel/Assignment" window to open the "pop-up" and then select the "Left" channel assignment option.
    5) Now do the same for "Channel 2" but select the "Right" channel assignment in the pop-up window option.
    6) At this point, the "Channels" entry for the audio track in the top half of the "Poroperties" window should have changed from "2 Discrete Channels"
    to read "Stereo (L R) as seen here:
    7) Now you have two options for saving the file:
    a) Select the "Save" File menu option to save the new channelization settings to the original file or
    b) Select the "Save As..." File menu option to leave the original file unchanged and copy all of the data and changed channelization settings to a new filw with a different name. (Note: ProRes422 ref files may or may not play the video in QT X player so I recommend the "Standalone" option here.)
    Basically, the first option is very fast but actually modifies the original file while the second option must rewrite all data to a new file which can take much more time.
    Good luck...

  • Itunes not opening - error message that file is locked....

    Hi,
    itunes message - 'library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.'
    I've tried everything i can find online to repair this issue, but itunes wont open still. I saw a message for this exact message in 2006 about moving itune lib to desktop and then back into itunes folder, but that hasn't worked. Please help.

    Might fix your problem:
    Through Finder navigate to your users directory
    Select the folder "Music"
    Press CMD-i
    An info windows will pop up
    Scroll down to the very bottom
    If necessary expand "Sharing & Permissions"
    Is your username listed with Privilege "Read & Write"?
    Tick the little lock at bottom right - enter your PW
    If necessary correct your privileges
    In any case press the little gearwheel - "Apply to enclosed items ..."
    ok
    reboot
