Why does CD burned as "audio" only play in computers but not car?

I've done all the troubleshooting steps but to no avail. My CDs burned from iTunes play in computers but not in cars. Help!

Some car stereos can't handle anything other than commercially pressed CDs. I find that burned CDs have a limited playable lifespan for my car and have been told by my dealership that the stereo is not rated to play CD-R discs (but that hasn't stopped me). There's something about the fact that home burned CDs are dye-based whereas commercially burned CDs have more of a metal layer abalated write done that makes them more reliable to read.
You might have to look into replacing your stereo with one that can handle CD-Rs. Crutchfield is a good place to research them and the included install kits are great.

Burned dvd plays on computers, but not dvd players - help?

Hi,
I'm a noobie. I made a movie in final cut pro 5, then converted it to a quicktime movie, then saved it in idvd. The movie plays on all computers, but it's not recognized by dvd players connected to tv's. My questions are:
1. What's a quick way to burn onto a dvd that will be recognized by dvd players that aren't on computers?
2. What's the best way to save the best quality of my final cut movie to a dvd that I can play anywhere?
thanks!

Hi Noob:
Welcome to discussions!
There is no sure-fired way to record to a DVD that every DVD player will recognize. Just too many of them out there.
Try burning a the lowest speed possible (1x to 4x )using a reliable disk like Verbatim DVD-R.
This is worth reading: (I copied it from one of Len Goff's discussion threads...)
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Audio book plays on PC but not on my iPod

I've downloaded a lot of audio books to my 20g Photo iPod and all have played without a problem, until today. My latest download will play on my desktop computer, but on the iPod when I select the book the iPod sequences through the segments 1,2,3, and 4 then returns to "music". I deleted the first download from the iPod and redownloaded it from iTunes and it still will not play on the iPod. Any ideas.

You might check that the entire file has been copied to your ipod. You can get the size of the audio file by
1) Select your ipod from the "devices" list in itunes.
2) Tick the "manually manage music" check box in the summary tab.
3) Find the audiobook file on your ipod and right click or control click depending on whether you are using windows or mac.
4) Check the size of the file and compare with the size in itunes.
Should you find anything odd perhaps copy across manually, though I think it unlikely that you will.
Alternatively, I have found that if I record audio as a series of shorter files and tag them as "books and spoken" in itunes they end up as "audiobooks". These files are all numbered sequentially but for some reason will not play sequentially on my ipod unless I create a playlist. However the first file will play without doing that. This appears different to your situation but you might want to try creating a playlist with your audiobook files.
Hope that helps,
John

Why does iPhoto 8.1.2 work on one iMac but not another when both are the same spec both running Mavericks 10.9.1?

I have a studio of 7 iMacs all running Mavericks 10.9.1, six of the machines are able to open iPhoto 8.2.1 but for some reason after updating the seventh, iPhoto vanished completely from that machine. I reinstalled it from a copy I had saved on a HDD but it now says it's unsupported with this version of OSX. I don't want to pay the £10 + for a piece of software that is only being used to import photos from the occasional iPhone so wont be installing the new version, especially as I know 8.2.1 does work on Mavericks.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Reinstall v8 from the install disk as, at a guess, the version of the HDD is missing components.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Why does my IMAC super drive recognize data dvd's but not movies?

My 27" Intel Imac recently stopped playing dvd movies. The drive still recognizes data disks but not movies. When I insert a dvd movie the drive makes noises for 30 seconds then eject the disk.

Have you changed region codes on movies? It will only change for a total of 5 codes.

Why does my webcam transmit fine in html5 in Chrome, but not in Firefox?

On every website I try, Firefox does not support getusermedia, so I cannot transmit audio and video data from my Windows 8.1 tablet in html5. Thus, I cannot use Firefox Hello. I have tried tinkering with numerous settings in about:config, but nothing works. I have exactly the same problem as this guy:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25280592/webcam-video-stream-working-in-chrome-but-not-firefox
In Google Chrome, however, there are no problems with this. This is not an add-ons issue, as I have uninstalled all addons and have re-installed Firefox anew twice. On a friend's Windows 8.1 laptop, however, there is no such problem. So what, exactly, can I do to remedy this situation?

Menu audio will play during preview but not when disc is burned.

Encore CS6.
Menu music plays fine in preview. I know that the file is good. No menu audio after disc is burned. Have tried several different transcoding options. There is menu video too that is working fine.

Here are notes I couldn't find before I posted that; just general re testing methods:
Mounting an iso (or building to a folder) is a great way to test. There are some differences, but it is a great method prior to burning to a disk. The main difference is simply computer vs dvd player - autoactivate on a button doesn't work with a mouseover, and you can be fooled into thinking your navigation does, or does not, work. (Even on the computer, don't use the mouse for testing, use the "remote" in the player controls.)
Encore preview is an emulator, like computer DVD players, that attempts to predict what will happen when a disk is played on a set top DVD player. It has always had issues with some predictions not being accurate. Some inaccuracies are like this one: Encore preview does not work, and a burned disk will. Others are the opposite; it works in Encore preview, and not in a DVD player. The point to be made here is that you cannot rely on Encore preview. You also cannot rely on computer playback of a built image or folder. And, in the end, you cannot rely on playback on one DVD player - some disks work on some players and not on others.

Burned CD's Only Play on iTunes, but No Where Else

When burning cd's in iTunes on CD-R blank cd's, the disc will burn perfectly, but when I go to play the burned CD somewhere other than iTunes the songs will not play and the CD player will read it as a blank disc. How can I fix this???!!!???

Help! I have the same problem too! i just burned a cd, put it in the hi-fi and it says "no disc" and "disc error". am using cd-rw. someone please help!

Why does a utube video show on my MacBook Pro, but not on my iPad?

Hello,
My MB Pro runs Mavericks, ver.10.9.4, my iPad is an iPad4 ver. 7.1.2 (11D257), Model: MD512B/A, 64GB Retina. Browser: Firefox ver 32.0.1
I use iWeb 3.0.4 (601) to run my website: http://www.lakesweddingmusic.com
On my website, I have three uTube videos, which run perfectly fine on my laptop, but one of them - the first one on the site, with the picture of a bride - refuses to load on my iPad. I have used exactly the same method for importing the HTML code for all the videos, yet the first video just will not appear on the iPad for some reason. I have no idea why this should be the case. When I first uploaded the video to uTube and imported the code to iWeb, it worked for a while, but now - nothing.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Region Code 4:
Mexico, Central and South America, and the South Pacific.

Apparently my first response was off in left field. The DVD player has its own code. My recommendation is to change the code when it asks. It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code. If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

Why does my macbook air work when connected to HDMI but not my iMac

Hi. I have an HDTV, an HDMI cord, and a HDMI -> thundebolt adapter. I plug this in to my 2013 MBA and it works fine, but when I plug it into my iMac, nothing happens.
Why?
Do I need a DVI -> HDMI adapter (I already have one for my dual monitor, so it would only be 5$ for the adapter.
Thanks for the help .

Why does Calendar sync with Google on a new user, but not my original one?

I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro that came running Mountain Lion out of the box. I have used Mail and Messages with my various Google accounts since I purchased it, but never Calendar. When I checked the Calendar option all I got was the header for where the calendars should be.
I cannot see any calendars on that account, create/view/edit events, or anything. My sync settings on the Google side are just fine as it works on other devices. Last night I took it a step further and created a new user account on my laptop and first thing I did was connect my Google account. Everything worked.
I have tried deleting the Calendar cache files, preferences, accounts, and pretty much anything short of the app itself. I even went ahead and cleared out my Keychain of anything relating to that account or Google in general. As a last ditch effort, I did a full clean up and reset of the SyncServices system.
Short of painstakingly comparing the two accounts I have no idea what could be causing this problem. There are no user specific applications or extensions running on my machine, and I've performed no "under the hood" tweaks to Mountain Lion.
Does anyone have any idea where I should be looking for a cause? I haven't found anything like this problem online yet, and I definitely don't want to migrate my stuff to a new account.
Key points:
Google Calendars do not sync at all to my primary user account.
I've tried multiple Google accounts.
Only a new user account in Mountain Lion is able to connect.
All SyncServices files and all Calendar files have been wiped and recreated to no effect.

What shall i do, if my movie only plays the sound- but not the pictures- EVEN if i have the right attitude?

I try to public my movie, but the problem i have is, that the "finished" movie doesn't play the video WITH the pictures. It plays only the sound.
What kind of attitude i have to use, to get the clip with sound and movie? Because i try these from a tutorial : Premiere Grundeinstellungen / Projekteinstellungen / Rendereinstellungen Tutorial - YouTube
and that still doesn't work.

Your question appears to be about Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements. I recommend you contact the Premiere Pro CC forum.

Why does the @font-face work in a Private Tab, but not in a normal Tab?

I consistently find that the @font-face does not work in Firefox unless I use a Private Tab, but I prefer to use a regular Tab so that I can keep track of what pages I have visited. In a Private Tab the Android app displays Hebrew with cantillation marks as nicely as Windows does using the very same font. This is probably an unintended bug, as I cannot imagine why you would want Private Tabs to work better than the regular ones. The css function in question is:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Shlomo LB';
src: url('../ShlomoLightBold.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

Hello,
Thank you for bringing this up. There is an open issue in Bugzilla - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769194 src:local() @font-face rules doesn't work on Android]. But in this case you are mentioning a src:url, so I don't know if they are related.
Also, can you please confirm if you are using NoScript or any other plugin on your browser and if there are settings that differ for the normal tabs vs. private tabs (noscript has an option to block @font-face).
Would it be possible for you to create a sample for testing this?
Thank you

Why does ESC work to exit some full screen apps but not all?

Example, while in full screen if I am in the web browser(I use firefox) clicking esc doesn't exit full screen, but when I am in photo booth esc works just fine. I noticed it with a few apps, sometimes it works and other times you have to go and click the exit option in the top right corner. I'm new to mac, this is my first mac and I only got it a few days ago so I'm quite uneducated with the software.

I found another thread that helped. I switched to 3-finger swipe then back to 4-finger, however everything froze and I lost my curser. I actually had to force quit the Finder twice before it took effect. Now it works. That thread was: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191453?start=0&tstart=0

Audio is playing in emulator but not in device

hi,
i want to add a audio file to the startup screen. i hav used the below code. its working in the emulators bbut not on the device.
how to resolve this problem. plz help me
Thanks in advance
try {
InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/test-wav.wav");
Player p = Manager.createPlayer(in, "audio/x-wav");
p.start();
catch (Throwable t) {
Alert a = new Alert("Exception", t.toString(), null, AlertType.ERROR);
}

No, I've been told that it may be a crossdomain policy file issue.. since a device would be like running an app local on your computer... so to snag data that is online.. in this case a stream... the streaming server may need a crossdomain policy file allowing connection from '*'. I was going to try it but when i upgraded to the trial of the actual 4.5 release, it broke my code so I have to fix that first :-/
