Why won't a .wav file play on a Bluetooth boombox?

Hello, I tried to pair a boombox with a new Macbook Pro (for the first time) with the boombox close to the computer & Bluetooth turned on. The proper words appear on the boombox display and the necessary blue light is on. Running OS 10.9.4, in Bluetooth Preferences the boombox model # appears as a Bluetooth device & is connected. When I "Send File to Device..." using Bluetooth File Exchange v.4.2.6 (4.2.6f1), the MP3 file on my Mac doesn't play on the boombox. Sony told me that the bluetooth version of the boombox is 3.0 and it will connect only to a device having the same bluetooth profile.
Their specs. on the Operating Instructions say: The audio formats supported by this unit are as follows: MP3: file extension “.mp3”; WMA: file extension “.wma”.
Compatibility requirements for the devices are as follows. Before using with this unit, check that your device meets the requirements.
Devices must conform to BLUETOOTH Standard version 3.0.Devices must support A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile). NFC capability (required only when using the NFC pairing function of the unit).
Can anyone kindly suggest how to troubleshoot this issue?
Also, could I ever play more than one music file (on the computer) at a time through the boombox? Thank you so much for any ideas.

Maybe its time to "return to the source". If you can arrange it, have the .mov file provided to you examined by QT 7.0X within the Apple OS. The .mov is a wrapper and it is possible that the video format(codec etc) within the wrapper is something unreadable by QT under windows OS.

  • Why won't my .wav files show up in a 3rd party sound application after being exported as an omf file

    Hi all, I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer, so hopefully someone out there will have mercy and help me!
    I have Canon 7D footage (h.264 codec) and H4N Zoom audio (24bit 48khz .wav files) loaded into Premiere Pro CS 5. Editing on a Macbook Pro OS 10.6.8.  I haven't added timecode. 
    My workflow, which I've done successfully several times in the past, is to sync the footage by creating individual sequences for each take (usually interview takes) and then bring in the audio and video and manually line/sync them up.  I then link the two clips. 
    I then create a new sequence for my edit and then cut parts of the previously synced clips and then paste them into the sequence and edit away.  After locking I export an omf (48khz, 24 bit, files as separate audio, aiff files, with 24frame handles).  Then I import the OMF into Soundtrack Pro.
    However this time, the majority of the sound clips do not show up in Soundtrack Pro timeline even though they are present in the omf folder as Aiff files.  Normally you would think this was an issue with Soundtrack Pro, however one audio file did show up in Soundtrack Pro, but it was a sound file I had not linked to a video clip.  Upon further investigation I found that that the audio clip that was not synced retained it's STE-014.wav name in the Premiere timeline.  All the other audio I had synced to video had somehow taken on the video clip's MVI 0075 name.
    I checked my old projects (the ones that I successfully exported to OMF) and even when I synced the audio and video, the audio retained it's STE.wav name. I don't know why the names changed; I did a test in my current project by cutting and pasting a synced clip at the end of the edit timeline and the audio retained it's  STE.wav name.  See pic.
    After further tests, if the audio retains it's STE name it shows up in Soundtrack Pro (and Soundbooth as well), if it takes on the video MVI name it doesn't.  I've tried exporting as an AAF and a Final Cut Pro XML file and it still doesn't work.  I've tried unlinking and relinking the clips as well as making the audio offline and then relinking but still nada.  I also cleaned the media cache to no avail.
    If I render and replace the audio in the edit timeline, the name doesn't change, but the audio file does show up in Soundtrack Pro and Soundbooth, but unfortunately I need handles to edit the sound so this doesn't help me much. 
    Any ideas?  and thanks!

    Yes, it has always worked in the past.  The past projects audio clips do not change names.  I obviously did something different in this current project, but unfortunately I have no idea what.

  • Why won't my .mov files play?

    Hello, I need to convert .mov files into another format, but I can't even play the .mov files on my Mac w/Snow Leopard and Quicktime 10.0. Why is that? What do I need to at least play them back on my MacBook Pro? Thank you, gharaldson

    There's a number of reasons that they may not play.
    .MOV is what's called a "container". Namely it stores audio and video streams in any format and then includes descriptive information about that data to help select the software (codecs) required to play them back.
    A QuickTime movie won't playback if it's: a.) not actually a quicktime movie, b.) a damaged file (data is corrupted), or c.) the content was encoded using a method that isn't part of standard quicktime.
    Generally speaking, if you use Quicktime or Apple applications, then they will encode audio and video using one of the mechanisms built into Quicktime. However, it's possible to create valid Quicktime files using other software that uses encoding mechanisms not in the standard Quicktime bundle. Software like FFMPEG and VLC can be used to produce such files, for example.
    Do you have an error that indicates the nature of the problem?

  • Dumb question. Why won't my audio files play in AE?

    Suddenly, my audio files will not play in AE.

    You'll need to elaborate -- that's not much to go on.
    What KIND of audio files are these?  Are they a different kind than you've used previously?
    Since AE has a tough time playing just about anything, please describe in detail how you're playing them.
    And it wouldn't hurt to know what has changed on your machine before you ran into this problem.

  • Why won't my sound files play in preview?

    I have created a Keynote slideshow for a new course on an iMac, and I am trying to preview it in iTunes U on an iPad. For each slide of the show I imported a sound file of my lecture, which I recorded in Garageband. When I open iTunes U on my iPad, I find the course just fine. Then I find the new POSTS and click on one of them. The slide show opens nicely on the iPad, but there is no sound and no sound on-off button.
    Where did my sound files go? How do I access them on iTunes U?
    Thanks for the help.

    Nobody has a clue about this?
    If not, does anybody know where I can get an answer?
    Thanks,

  • New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files

    HELP! - New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files. I just did the automatic upgrade to the new version of Quicktime and now I can't export WAV files from a CAF file. The original .CAF file plays perfectly but when I attempt to export it the exported file is corrupted and won't play. I have another computer with the previous version of Quicktime and it exports the same file flawlessly. Anyone know what's going on with the new version? THANKS!

    +Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\nb.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.+
    More often than not, that sort of message indicates file damage rather than a privileges issue on the file.
    If you've got Windows XP, try doing a chkdsk over your C drive, as per:
    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    If you've got Vista, try the following procedure. Go "Start > Computer". Right-click on "Local Disk C:" and select "properties". Click the "Tools" tab. Click the "Check now" button in the "Error correction" section.
    Do the disk checks find/repair any damage? If so, does an install go through properly afterwards?

  • Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

    I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
    However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
    My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
    Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
    I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

    Hey,
    Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
    didn't download correctly.
    Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

    Hey,
    spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
    that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
    transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
    downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
    code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
    file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
    might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
    really understand.

  • TS1717 Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

  • Why won't an MP3 file on my Mac play on the boombox?

  • I have a website, in IE all my wav files played fine, but in firefox they never do play. How do I fix?

    I have wav files that play when certain pages come up, but they do not work and never have in firefox. For example, dogs bark when you open up their personal pages. Or on some puppy pages a song plays in the background.

    Yes, I created my site using Microsoft Publisher. I realize this is probably considered archaic, but it's what I learned... I am very comfortable with it but of course it writes the code for me. Thank you for trying to help me, it's just I have no idea how to do any of what has been suggested. I don't know how to export W3C compliant code and don't know what that is. I don't know how to use an editor, do you mean notepad? I have used that, but only when I taught myself how to make a form and I did that by finding a sample on the internet, copy pasting into notepad and then reading through the code and figuring out just based on reading how to rewrite sections to suit my needs. I don't know what VML is either. So I'm afraid I may be a hopeless case. But maybe this is something I can do if there are directions. If I need to buy a different website program I have considered it but worry that my current site won't just copy and convert and I'd have to start from scratch. It was so much work, thinking about recreating it all makes me want to hide in my room! lol
    Thanks again though, if you think there is hope for me, let me know!
