You'll see a couple of posts that were made by Roy B on the first page of the topic that may fix it for you. I had that issue with a couple of my songs after upgrading to iTunes 7.2 and it fixed it for me.

  • Why won't Xcode install apps-in-dev to my iPod Touch anymore?

    Hey all, I have an iPod Touch 8GB (2nd gen) running 3.1.3, as well as an iPad and a 3GS iPhone (running OS 4.x). I made absolutely no changes to the Touch nor the iPad, and yet as of the latest OS update for the Touch, which I did not install, Xcode will no longer install my dev apps to the device. I only just created the provisioning profile about 2 weeks ago, so it hasn't expired.
    No idea why this is happening, but it's delaying my client work. Crazy thing is, the Organizer window in Xcode says that the Touch's OS is "too old", yet lists the very same 3.1.3 as being one of OSes supported by my current install of Xcode (which I think is 3.2.2 -- I had upgraded to handle OS 4, but then had to downgrade because of technical reasons).
    Anyone else encounter this?

    You'll be most like to get help with this problem if you ask in the developer forums:

  • IMovie Won't Import MP4 Files

    For some reason iMovie '11 won't let me import videos.  Specifically, I'm trying to add MP4 files that I copied to my hard drive from my GoPro HD 960.  For GoPro users, I used the R2 (720p) format.  They open properly in QuickTime and VLC but can't be imported into iMovie (or iPhoto).  When I select File-->Import-->Movies and browse to the directory where I saved all the .mp4 files on my hard drive, they're all greyed out.  And actually, it seems that just about no video files at all on my computer can be added (all greyed out)--even other MP4 files.
    I downloaded MPEG Streamclip but that says "unrecognized file format" when I try opening the videos.  I also installed Perian and rebooted.
    In case it helps:
    - I have an Intel MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 with iLife '11
    - QuickTime info for the video format says "H.264, 1280 x 720, Millions; AAC, 2 channels, 48000 Hz"
    - VLC says "Stream 0 (Video) - Codec: avc1" and "Stream 1 (Audio) - Codec: mp4a"
    Any ideas?  This is incredibly frustrating!

    Why iMovie Won't Import MP4 Files?
    Technically, iMovie does import MP4 video. However, iMovie only import MP4 files that are encoded with MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC data. And yet, MP4 is a video container format that may contain various audio and video codec (and sometimes even subtitle streams included). If the MP4 file is not encoded with iMovie support codec, iMovie will refuse to import this kind of MP4 video.
    How to Solve Can't Import MP4 into iMovie?
    In order to successfully import all kinds of MP4 files to iMovie, a recommended solution is to convert iMovie unrecognized MP4 to iMovie supported video format.
    iDealshare VideoGo is just the right MP4 to iMovie Converter which can convert various MP4 to iMovie supported MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV or DV. Besides converting MP4 to iMovie, iDealshare VideoGo also helps to convert other video formats including AVI, WMV, MPEG, VOB, MOV, AVCHD, MTS, M2T, M2TS, TOD, MOD, XAVC, FLV, MKV, SWF, 3GP, MVI, ASF and etc to iMovie video format.

  • Front Row won't play .mp4 files

    I just recently started using Front Row and, for some reason, it won't play .mp4 files. The said files are in my Movie folder and show up in Front Row's "Movies" menu, but when I try to play them it says "Selected video could not be played, format was not recognized."
    Please help!!

    iTunes only supports MP4s encoded using the Main Profile, but many MP4s that you can download from the web are encoded using High Profile. These need to be converted.
    You can use an app like VideoSpec or MediaInfo to list the encoding characteristics of your MP4s.

  • Photoshop CS5 Extended won't covert mp4 files to layers?

    I recently downloaded cs5 and it won't download .mp4 files to layers. whenever i go to file > import > video frames to layers, the mp4 files are greyed out and i can only click on .avi files.
    there is no high quality converter from mp4 to avi, so it's quite frustrating.
    any ideas about what may be wrong?
    thanks,
    catherine.

    Hi Catherine
    Try importing it as a layer inside an already open file:
    Layer > Video Layers > New Video Layer From File
    If that still doesn't work, try:
    File>Place
    but it will be opened as a smart object

  • 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.

  • ITunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one song, but all the rest of them work. The song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod?

    iTunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one of the songs I just downloaded, but all the rest of them work. That song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod? It says my computer isn't authorized to play that song so I type in my password and it pops up with a menu saying my computer is already authorized and it skips to the next song. No matter what I do it won't play that song on my laptop or my iPod.

    Could be a Corrupt download of that song...
    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...
