Voice Memos will not play through Home Sharing on other devices.

I have synced my voice memos to my Apple library on my Mac Mini and can listen to them on that device with no problem. However, when I use my iPad or MacBook or Air to play the memos using my Home Sharing the voice memos will not play on the device. Sometimes a random song will start instead of the voice memo. I can play videos and music through Home Sharing with no problems, it seems to be only the voice memos that won't stream to the connected devices. Any help would be great (using Yosemite on devices).

I'm running 4.3.3 on mine and just played Joe Ely's latest album on my 1st generation Zeppelin. I do get the message about it not being compatible and possible noise but I dismiss that and play the music.
You may need to reset your Zeppelin (disconnect it from power, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in), Reset you iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttones) or do both.
You may also need to update the firmware on your Zeppelin if you have not done so before now.

Voice memos will not play

The voice memos appear to have been recorded on my I-pod Touch as it list the date and length of the recording, but it will not play or sync the voice recording.

When you record a VM, does the VUY meter show the level?
What happens when you try to play the VM? Does it appear to play but with no sound?
Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod?

Shared voice memos will not play on recipient's iPhone

My wife and I both have 16GB 3GSs. She's on 3.1.2, and I'm on 3.1.
If I create a voice memo and then choose to share it via email, when she receives the email on her iPhone, she's unable to play it. Her iPhone tells her taht it cannot play m4a files.
I think this is rather strange....
Any ideas?

Voice memos will not play full recording

I have a 4 hour 46 minute meeting recorded but can only play the first 2 minutes and 2 seconds of the recording.
As you can see from the screen dump above the recording shows 4h 46m 9s but the player at the bottom only allows the first 2m 2s to be played. The recording will sync to my PC but again only the first 2:02 is copied across.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to recover the original 4h 46m recording?
Andrew

I just had the same problem with a 2:10 minute voice memo only sending or playing back the first 12 seconds. theres nothing anywhere on the internet to help me. Did you figure out what to do?

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

I can listen to ITunes on my ipad on a headset but they will not play through the speaker

I can play I tunes on my iPad and listen on a headset but the iPad will not play through the built in speaker

Try this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Why some movies will play on home sharing and others won't

Fixed it! I guess that I had installed avast! a few days ago and completely forgotten about it. That seems to be what the problem was, because I uninstalled it and it's working fine now. Thank you though, you rang the bell that reminded me! (:

MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack - NB 550D

Hi
MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack. Is this because I have not setup Realtek Audio Manager correctly?.
Also is there any way to play the MP3 through a USB Port
Thx

Hi
What notebook do you have?
The mic jack records the audio signal. But I assume you want to use the mic jack an line-in. Right?
Usually you have to set the default device in recording tab.
In control panel -> sound -> recording tab.
If you will not see any further devices but only mic jack then you should click right and should enable the options; show hidden devices and show disabled devices.
Possibly then you could enable line in.
Otherwise such option is not available and not possible

Sound will not play through external speakers

I just bought my IPod two days ago and suddenly it will not play music through the speakers anymore and is stuck in headphone mode. I have tried plugging and unplugging the headphones several times to see if it would work, but it would not. Is there a solution for this?

You can try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod from backup
- Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If those do not work you likely have a hardware problem.

Why are my audiobooks not going through home sharing?

why are my audiobooks not going through for home sharing.

According to this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3525692), it looks like you are not able to share audiobooks through Home Sharing:
You can share MP3, AIFF, WAV, AAC, and radio station links, but you cannot share iTunes Store Audio Books, Audible spoken word content, or QuickTime sound files.
You can leave iTunes feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Apple TV 2 is on the network but not available through Home Sharing or AirPlay

My ATV2 has been working well for many years but recently won't connect through Home Sharing. It is on the same network as my Mac and I can rent through the iTunes Store, connect my YouTube account etc but it doesn't appear on any devices as an AirPlay option. I'm logged in using the same Apple ID on all machines and devices. I've restarted the ATV2, iTunes, my Mac, my router and checked that everything is running the latest software. They all were except for iTunes, which I updated (12.1), but it had no effect on the problem. I had not recently made any changes to any device or software, that I'm aware of.
It did briefly work (no change made) a day later but wouldn't connect the next time I tried. I've spent the last few days trying to find a solution and found nothing.
Any advice on how to progress?

Hi Darren,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you're not able to access the iTunes library on your Mac from your Apple TV using Home Sharing.
Restarting all of the devices and updating software are good troubleshooting steps, and next I'd recommend turning off Home Sharing on your Apple TV and Mac, and then back on again.
If necessary, you can refer to these links for Home Sharing setup:
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation) - Apple Support
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer - Apple Support
If the issue persists, you may also want to double check your network/router settings using steps four and five in this troubleshooting guide:

Best Regards,
Jeremy
