Satellite C50-A-15L: unable to play music or video files via media player

Hi all
I am having problems with my media player and explorer functions all of a sudden - it seems to have occured after a recent 'important update' (always causes more issues than fixes).
Anyway, since this update, I have been unable to play any music or video files via the media player or cut and paste any items when sorting files out.
All fine previously, but now when I highlight and click 'cut', the timer cuts in and the window goes straight to 'not responding'. Drag and drop works OK, then going back to delete files.
As for media files, double click one and no response, right click and 'open', again, nothing...
Anyone else experienced similar problems?
Of know of a fix or patch?
Many thanks
Matt

From my point of few you have no problems with notebook but with Microsoft system.
"Hotmail" isnt Toshiba product.
If you have problems login the Hotmail account, you should contact the Microsoft support for help.
By the way: you can always set the system back to early time point before you received any updates.
Windows 8 creates a restore point for you automatically during Windows Updates and other system maintenance events.
Open charm bar (Win key + c), choose Apps and search for Restore Point. Then click on Settings. On the left hand side you will see the option called Create a restore point.
New window would open. Within the System Protection tab choose System restore.
Clicking on Next would lead to next step where you could restore the computer to the sate it was before the selected event (windows update).

  • How can I play music and video files in Solaris 10?

    Hi all. I just downloaded Solaris 10 and installed it. I haven't used it for a long time (since version 8), and as I can see now, there are many improvements. I just loved Java Desktop! :)
    Can someone please tell me what libs or codecs etc, do I have to download and install in order to play music and videos (mp3, wmv, dvd etc), and where I can find them?
    I use the on-boaad sound system (Realtek AC97)
    Thank you all.

    You didn't mention if the sound drivers are working. If not, download and install the driver from here and reboot (it supports your codec):

    DVDs are more of a problem because of DCIMA. Look around.

  • Why won't ipad play music or video files?!

    This started suddenly. Music and videos will load but not move at all (jumps right back to pause as soon as I hit play.) I know they are loaded because I can jump to different frames of video but neither will move at all. Other apps are also snarled (This American Life keeps quitting as soon as I go to certain screens.)
    Have I mentioned that I wish I just bought another PC? Same BS, twice the cost...

    Try this and see if it helps.
    Quit all apps in the recents tray completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How to play music from iPod through Windows Media Player

    I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence .... but just in case anyone hasn't yet figured it out, here's how to play music from your iPod on a computer that does not have iTunes installed:
    On your computer, connect the iPod to iTunes and click on it's name. Then under the general tab, check "allow disk use". Your iPod will then act as a USB hard drive and will then show up as a drive in My Computer. Now all you need to do is to create a Music folder on it and then copy all your music to it!
    Your iPod's USB hard drive should show up under My Computer on most Windows computers. Therefore providing the computer has Windows Media Player installed, you will be able to play all your music on it! This saves you having to bother with portable/travel speakers, some of which sound terrible anyway!

  • HT1849 how to import music and video from windows media player

    I want to import my music and videos from the windows media player, and I want to import or put it all in my itunes library. How do I do that. I know there is a button.
    Am I missing it? Can someone help me please. I am working off of a laptop. If that helps anything.

    In Media Player music list, make sure the "Protected" column is displaying. Sort by that column. Any songs that are protected can not be converted to iTunes. You will have to re-rip the CD with the WMP setting to be to not protect the songs.
    I had the same problem with album covers and could never fix it. I just gave up. I spoke with people at Apple stores and nothing they suggested worked.

  • Getting problems while playing video files in flex player

    Hi friends,
                    Here i can able to play all video file formats like .mp4,3gp,.flv,.swf.But the problem ,i can't able to play mobile recording video files in this player even if that files are mp4 or 3gp or flv.In this scenario,can't understand what should do and where is my problem.So it would be grateful if anybody suggests and share me some idea where i am wrong.
    Regards,
    abhishek

    People use one-player-per-video because you can't reuse player objects. Player is a parent class to a whole bunch of subclasses, each subclass is capable of playing a specific kind of video. So when you create your Player object, you're actually creating some subclass type that's specific to that video type. So while it's technically possible to use a single Player subclass to play more than one video, unless all of your videos are of the same video encoding / audio encoding...you won't be able to reuse it.
    What you need to do is dispose of the last player before you create a new player (player.close), and do that over and over again. That way, you're never using more than 1 player's worth of memory...

    You need to continue with the Recovery...
    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... After the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • IPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones

    iPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones
    Can anyone help

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos.  Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik.  Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not.  Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

    The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

  • IPod not playing music or video

    I updated to 4.1 and all of a sudden my iPod won't play music or videos. Also I can't hear any of the keyboard clicks when I type on it. Won't play through the AUX or the USB ports either.
    Things I tried:
    1. Reseting
    2. Hard reset
    3. Factory Restore
    4. Downgrade to 4.0

    Welcome to the club.  My 2nd gen did the same thing when I "upgraded" to 4.2.1.....

  • Ipod won't play music or video, other than that it works fine

    My ipod 60gb 5.5 gen wont play music or video. I took it to an unexperienced ipod repair centeer and they couldn't figure it out. I took it to an apple store and they said that it was probably the hard drive but weren't sure. I can use this ipod as a hard drive. It will store and transfer files at full capacity. It also will auto scroll through pictures. If the hard drive had malfuntioned then wouldn't I have trouble using it as a removable hard drive? When I select a song to play, it shows album art work but remains at 0:00. I have restored it. When I did a diagnostic run, it didn't show the hard drive in the options for testing. I can repair my ipod myself. I'm talented but I need to know what part to buy first.

  • Can't type or play music and videos.

    I spilled water on my iPod, now every time when i'm typing it blocks after a few letters.
    I also can't play music and videos, when i pres play it just sets itself back on pause.
    Anyone has advice?

    Place the iPod in a sealed container iwth uncooked rice for a week to dry the iPod . Then try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
