Why can't I play my audiobook on my iPhone?

My iPhone won't allow me to play my audiobooks. It shows them, and when I select the book, it shows it briefly, then slides back out of view.

Yes. It's on my computer, and sync'd to my iphone. It worked last week, and now it doesn't. I've always been able to listen to my books on my phone, until recently.?.? Thanks.

Why can't I play my song on my iphone

I bought a song over my Mac from iTunes. I would like to transfer this to my iPhone 4 but nothing happens. Has
This something to do with iCloud or how many devices I have registered. Thanks in advance.

If you don't have automatic downloads enabled, you need to sync the song to your iPhone.

Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

HT204382 Why can't I play a .MOV movie on my apple (MacBook Pro)?

My parents have been sending me little .MOV movies via email. But I can't play them on my MacBook Pro. I am however able to play them on my iPhone.
Why can't I play it on my computer?
This is the error msg I get: The document “IMG_0259.MOV” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
Many thanks,
Mascha

I have the same problem. I make a video on my iPhone and email it to my webmail, can't open it on the MacBookPro, but can on my phone from my webmail. On the MacBookPro, a screen opens that displays the "Q" from Quicktime with a question mark on it. That's all I get!
Thought I didn't have quicktime, but since the computer comes with it and my updates are all up to date, it just doesn't make any sense. This has only started recently. The two videos in question are the longest (under 15 min but over 10) ones I've ever had. When I go to email them, it says they are too long but send them anyway.
I am perplexed. I really want to be able to watch them (or I wouldn't have made them in the first place) and just can't figure out what to do!!

For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

Why can't I play Face Book games on iPad?

Why can't I play Face Book games on my iPad?

You can play many of them, at least the ones found in the App Store. Others you might be able to play by using one of the alternate browsers or apps out there that allow you to 'play' Flash games.
You can't play them in the way you're used to because, well ..... pick from the following:
You aren't using what you're used to using, and it doesn't do things the same way that you're used to doing them.
FaceBook was created by children, for children, and uses Flash ... which does not exist on Apple mobile devices.

HT5409 why can't I play an MPEG4 movie on my mac

Why can't I play a movie shared from my MacBookPro as an MPEG4 on my MacBook Air or my main Mac computer?

Have you tried VLC ? This problem can be easily solved with VLC player. If it does not work, you may need to convert MPEG-4 video to H.264 MP4 for playback on your Mac. Good luck.

Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device. Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit. I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

Thank you Phil0124, I think that is the problem.
I don't understand computers etc very well but had a suspicion that this was the problem I just needed to hear it from someone who knew what they were talking about.
I am going to contact my internet provider. Thank you.
