WMV only plays half????

Please help.
When I watch a windows movie it scrolls across the top and says that I have a trial version only? I tried to install and/or upgrade from their web site (the latest one is version 9 for the mac) and still it says trial version.

QuickTime does not support WIndows Media format. So you need to either get a plugin for QuickTime that does support WMV- available from Flip4Mac - or get a player that can play WMV files; players include Microsoft's own WMP for Macintosh or VLC Media Player.
Note that there are codecs for Windows Media that only exist for Windows. If one of these was used, there will be no way to play that content in a Mac short of running Windows in Virtual PC.
Hope this helps.

    Are these songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? If there are iTunes purchases, delete them from your main iTunes library and redownload them again at no cost via iCloud.

  • Downloaded songs from iTunes only plays half way and it cut off

    I downloaded an album in the itunes store and the first and last songs only play half way through in itunes and then stop.  My iphone sync'd wirelessly and got the complete songs.  Any ideas on what happened?  Can I redownload them?

    To be of any assistance I need more info.
    Are they playing normal in iTunes or  iPod?
    if skipping in iPod, are you listening via the earphone jack or the iPod Docking station?
    But if you dont like to share info, perhaps this link may help

    since there is no info in your profile, which ma model, os, which iTunes you are using, limits anybody from delving deeper into your problem.
    Update your profile, you will probably get more help.

    I am sorry to hear. Yes it's very disappointing and the fact that you can't at least re-download your purchase makes it that much more irritating haha well thank you and good luck!

  • Purchased songs only playing half way through

    I purchased 2 albums today and a few songs on each only play half through then skip to the next. I deleted and redownloaded, still having the same problem.

    Try deleting and redownloading just the problematic tracks (rather than the entire album(s)). Any better luck with that?

  • ITunes only play half of a song

    Hey, i just bought songs from iTunes and one of the songs is only played half way through and then iTunes skips to the next song. How can i fix that? thanks

    1. Delete the song from your iTunes library
    2. Redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links
    (Quick Links is on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes)
    3. Check and play song- it should play in its entirety now. If not contact support.

    I recently bought a song on I-tunes using an I-coke credit, the song only plays half way through, before it skips to the next song, does anyone know what is going on and what I can do to fix this??

    Remove the song from the device either by using a computer or on the device itself.
    You can redownload any song that you have currently purchased for free through itunes on a computer or iOS device.  After deleted attempt to redownload the song.
    Follow instuctions here to download a song onto a computer or here on a iOS device.

  • Match only plays half the song on my iphone

    I use itunes match on my iphone but some of the songs are only half downloaded.  It will play half the song and then skip to the next one but it appears on the screen that the first song is still playing.

    When I encounter glitches like this the first thing I always try is to force quit the Music app. See if that helps.

  • I bought a Tv show on Itunes and It will only play half way through.

    I Just bought Warehouse 13 season 3 Episode 1 'New Guy.' from the iTunes store and the video only plays to the 16 minute mark when the TV show is about 45 minutes long. What do I have to do in order to watch the rest of the video?

    You should have received an email receipt from iTunes and it should contain a link to report problems, .If not, then use this link to contact iTunes support. https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • I recently bought and downloaded an album and most of the songs will only play half way then stop can i do anything about this?

    i bought the album Attack! Attack! by Attack Attack and most of the songs will only play halfway then they will just go silent i have tried contacting apple about this but have found no real topic on their site to do with this problem and there seems to be no email address for support that i can find can an of you help me?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Shuffle only plays half a song

    Help-my shuffle only plays if I hit rewind. Halfway through the song it quits and only restarts if I start over several minutes later. It is unresponsive until that time.

    What I would try first is deleting that song (assuming what you're talking about is happening with a specific song), then refilling the shuffle so as to overwrite the memory that was used by the song (prevent the song in question from being reloaded). If this works, you should be able to reload the song in question later and have it work. (The assumption behind this is the file on the shuffle has somehow gotten corrupted.)
    If that doesn't work, I'd restore the shuffle.
    Good luck
