Why I cannot add audio file to slide show because of decompressor code

I cannot add audio file to slide show because of compressor or decompressor needed in the system. Anyway to do this

If using MP3 files it sometimes helps to delete album art from the track.

Why can't I add audio to my slide show from my itunes in elements 11?

I am trying to make a slide show using my newly purchased photoshop elements 11 and I cannot get it to add any audio. It does not recognize any of my files. I know there must be a way to do this but cannot figure it out.

Not copy protection unless these are very old purchases that you never updated. First try eliminating the album artwork, which often solves this.

PSE 9 Organizer error codec trying to add an Elements audio file to slide show

I am using PSE 9 to build a slide show. When I add audio, I can use mp3's from my music library in the slide show without any issues ...
but I am getting the following error when I try to add an Elements audio file (example " A _Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3)
This is the Organizer error message:
"Unable to add the audio file (C:\ProgramData\Adobe\ElementsOrganizer\8.0\Music\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3).
The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser(codec) installed."
I had PSE 8 and upgraded to PSE 9 - I noticed the error file detail shows 8.0 - Is this my problem - maybe an incomplete upgrade ? (I've made several slideshows mixing photos and music, on an older computer using PSE 8 and never ran into this issue.)
Below is my system info in case that helps:
OS=Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on an HP Pavillion dv7
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-430M Dual Core processor (2.26GHz, 3MB L2 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.53GHz
8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
512MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5470 switchable graphics
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Thanks for any help !

Does that file extension really have a space in it? If so, remove the space.

Importing .wpl audio files for slide show in Elements 4.0

Once again I have to prevail on my fellow Photoshop users' expertise. Help! I am trying to import music files from a playlist in Media Player (Microsoft Home XP) into a slide show in Photoshop 4.0. I get error message "Cannot open file because it is the wrong type of file." (The files turns out to have .wpl extension. Have tried to move the files from Media Player first to "My Documents," then open them in Organizer or Editor, but get the same error message. (Have moved similar files successfully into SONY Vegas video editor all along.) Is there any way to convert the audio files to the format suitable for Photoshop (.wav or .wma)?

I think that sunny_afternoons.mp3 is one of the MP3s that comes with Photoshop Elements. In order to see that audio file within the PSE Organizer, you may need to change the View menu settings for media so you see the Audio files. (You can temporarily set it to display only Audio files to make them easier to locate. However, it is important that you then set it back to your normal options to display Photos etc - otherwise next time you use PSE you will wonder - What Happened to my photos?)
Once you find that mp3 file, right click on it in the Organizer and see if the Organizer can play it. If the Organizer can't play it then generally the slide show can not either. However, playing in the Organizer does help analyze problems but it is not a guarantee that the slide show will be OK. You might also check what is the default player software on your system for mp3's.
Other than that - I don't think I have any additional ideas. Since you are attempting to run in an environment for which Adobe offered no support and no statement that it would work, you might just have to try to debug your system on your own.

Assistance needed in trying to import MP3 audio file into Slide Show

I get the following message when trying to import an MP3 audio file into a slideshow in Organizer 9 "The selected file can not be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor(codec) installed. I am pulling the file from my Itunes folder and I have not had problems with any other file I have downloaded from itunes and changed to an MP3 format. Does anyone have any ideas? I really want to use this song in a slideshow for my parents 50th Anniversary.

Best GUESS is that DRM is getting in the way of the file being used outside of iTunes (DRM = Digital Rights Mgmt = Copy Protection)

Can't add audio files (PSE 5)

PSE 5 won't allow students to add audio files(WAV or MP3) to slide shows. Error message is as follows. "...system does not have required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed."
I'm working in a lab situation. Only 2 of the 24 computers are having this issue. Help!

Try importing all those music files into organizer and see if it can play those files. If organizer is able to play these files, you can add these files to slide shows.
Else install some quick time codecs and try including these music files again.
Regards.

Cannot add audio

I cannot add audio in my current project. I have added audio numerous times before, and I cannot figure out why I cannot do it now. When I click 'add audio', the recording box does not appear, and when I try to click anywhere else, it beeps.

Sorry, but your best bet is to reset your preferences. Close Captivate. Locate the shortcut on the desktop or Start Menu (if you are using PC) Then look at the properties. There you should see an option to open the location. That will open Windows Explorer. Look for a folder named Utils. Inside that folder is a file you can run to reset preferences. That should also restore the window to the default (single monitor) location.

When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

OK , I have my instructional coaches creating power point presentation add audio to each slide with the presenter 10 add ins. I need these presentation converted into MP4 like you can do with adobe presenter video creator.

Love the Adobe products first. OK , I have my instructional coaches creating power point presentation add audio to each slide with the presenter 10 add ins. I need these presentation converted into MP4 like you can do with adobe presenter video creator.

If you import the PPT deck into Captivate it will not bring the audio from Presenter. But you can import it into Captivate after the slide deck has been imported. The audio files aren't necessarily named in a logical fashion in the source files for the presentation, so I would recommend that you publish the presentation locally and then find the 'data' folder in the published output and the audio files will be named in a way that you can infer the slide they are associated with. Not the simplest proceedure but it should be pretty painless.

Hi, I trimmed an audio regin in the audio track edior with "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" on. But I zoom in.the waveform was not ended at Zero point. Why? In the audio file editork, "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" option works fine.

correction needs to be made to step #14, I typed:
14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
Here is the correction, THE CORRECTED PARTS ARE CAPITALIZED:

Another Correction:
Originally read:
Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.

IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

I am trying to add music to my slide show and I get this error:

I am trying to add music to my slide show and I get this error: The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed. I went to the Adobe site and downloaded a codec program, and restarted but still got the same error. Any help would be much appreciated.
Anne

Thank you - I followed the instructions attached to your response, and I deleted the artwork from the three songs that I want to use, however, when I drag them into Photoshop I am still getting the same error message. I also don't see an option to convert the song to an MP3. I tried going to File and Get Info, and there isn't an option. I also tried right click on the song, but didn't see anything there either...?

Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone

What in the world is wrong when my purchased songs cannot be added to my iphone? It seems random because many of them were transfered/synced but now some just won't sync. But, then the error message: Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone.
I have the latest version of itunes
Macbook ios has Mavericks 10.9.5
all other items (including other music) has been syncing correctly
THEN when I try to use another method to get the music (screen shot #1) it gives me the error message below (screen shot #2):
Why in the world would anyone want to remove all existing music just to sync the music? How would I compare what is on my phone from what is on my macbook itunes to see what might be lost? How do I get it to sync?
kjco99

That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.

Cant Find ....... Choose File^ New Slide Show

I am trying to make a slideshow for the first time. ( iPhoto4.0.3) I can't find the .... " Choose File ^ New Slide Show " in the iPhoto File drop down menu to make a slide show, it only gives me New Album, New Smart, Close Window, Import, Export, Trash , Page set up, Print ... as options. After I figure this out and make a slide show with music, etc. What is the best option for burning it to a DVD for others to view on their home DVD player(s)

Eric
With the iPhoto window in organize view you will see the slideshow option at the bottom of the window.
Select the photos or albums you want first then click on slideshow.
To save it, go to the menu and choose export, the export to QuickTime. Make your Quicktime selections - then export.
The Quicktime Movie file can be viewed by anyone with QuickTime installed.
