Wont play the whole file?

ive noticed with some files, not all of them, quicktime will only play maybe a little more than a minute of a file, but other programs (such as mPlayer) will. any ideas?

Hi! Use MPEG Streamclip to "Fix timecode breaks" and then "Convert to MPEG" to repair the file. Then play the repaired file in QuickTime Player and see if it worked.

  • TS1362 Song wont play the whole way through?

    I downloaded new music today from iTunes, and some songs only get a few seconds in and cut to the next song. It seems like the download wasnt totally completed? Most songs are fine, but a few only play the first few seconds

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

    I just purchased a song off Itunes on my lap top and transfered it to my Ipod. But when i go to play it on my laptop and on my ipod it cuts off after 48 seconds. On my lap top it changes to a different song but on my ipod the rest of the 4 minute song is just blank. Any advice? thanks a ton!

  • Itunes wont play the entire song

    I spent loads of money on songs from the itunes store today and the songs wont play the whole way through, any suggestions?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • IMovie has frozen up on me. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling the apps- no help. I can play some of the files- but I can't get into the libraries.Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a few minutes. What can I do?

    I desperately need your help. I was working on iMovie last night when the thing froze up on me. I've tried rebooting. I've tried reinstalling the apps. No change. I can play some of the files- although I can't tell which ones will play until they magically appear. I can't get into the project library or the event library. The bar that lets me scroll through the clips is gone. Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a couple of minutes and generates a "problem report" that says "iMovie Quit Unexpectedly". This all started when I was adding cutaways- and one clip just would not load. After I tried several times everything froze up. Have you ever heard of something like this? Maybe I pushed a button or somehow changed a setting? Maybe some of the video is corrupt? What do you recommend?
    Thanks for any advice you can offer!

    I have tried all the above and nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

  • How do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them?

    how do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them as opposed to it scattering copies of my files into a myriad different folders based on the albums they came from when i'm not even interested in keeping whole albums?
    I recently converted myself to mac after having been a windows formatted person since the beginning of time. I use last.fm and the client scrobbler only supports iTunes on the mac (scobbling since Nov 06 and i'm now heavily dependant upon it as a means of discovering new music) - if you don't know what that means then take it for granted i have no option other than to use iTunes as my media player whn using the mac. And almost immediately upon using iTunes i was filled with horror.
    My tale of woe as follows: I copy all my mp3 files to folder X on my new mac. I copy my simple playlist in to that same folder X. The simple playlist simply lists all the files in folder X in the order i want to hear them in... simple right? And what happens the moment i start playing my simple list? Well you probably all ready know; itunes throws copies of all those files in to the air, scatters them to the four winds so each of them fall into a little folder of their own representing the album they might once have come from. I don't keep whole albums. For me the 'album experience' is a ruse to trick one into listening to weaker material. I only keep the concentrated goodness. I only put up with albums in a previous lifetime because in the days of vinyl i had no other choice apart from spending hours compiling mix tapes. Now i am liberated from these restrictions and have been for the 15 or so years i've been using a computer to listen to music. Until along comes iTunes forcing me backwards in time, frog marching me back into the past.
    That simple list i mentioned is my one and only playlist. This single playlist has been evolving for 15 years as tracks are added and removed and their position in the list changes because that song sounds amazing when heard after that other song whereas hearing this song after that song would be like pouring custard over your sausages (for me shuffling is an abomination). And so here is how i've managed this list and managed synchronization of said list and listed files with my mp3 player (currently a Zen).
    Adding a new file: After deciding that song is a keeper i will copy it into that simple folder that holds all my music and drop it in to a position on the list i deem most suited for it. Incidentally over this entire 15 year (i'm pretty sure it's been around that long) my media player has been winamp but for the reason previously mentioned i am unable to use winamp in mac world.
    Removing a file: fortunately winamp has an option to simultaneously remove a file from the list and the hard drive. And naturally so because after all if i no longer like a song then i want it expunged completely from life or at least from my hard drive and playlist. In the brave new world of iTunes i have to remove from the list there then delete the file from where iTunes copied it from and then the place iTunes copied it to.
    Editing the list: drag an item in the list to it's preferred location and select to save it as i would for any other file using any other application... well desktop type application as opposed to one that uses a database as its primary means of storage.
    Syncing with the mp3 player: copy drag drop playlist file from the simple folder on the hard drive to the simple folder on the mp3 player as i would for any other file. And then also copy drag drop the most recently created files from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on player after having ordered them by creation date so as to make it easier to select the most recently created. After a while the mp3 player will fill up with the files no longer on the list so i will delete all files from player then re-copy all flies from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on mp3 player.
    I do not make changes to the list on the mp3 player so synchronization needs only to go one way: from laptop to player.
    So all very simple. Apart from editing the positions of files in the list everything is managed by copy drag dropping and deleting files using windows explorer.
    But i'm in a mac and circumstances have forced me in to the corner of using iTunes. And this whole iTunes situation is terrifying for me as over the years i've heard horror stories about it deleting all of someone's music files. Perhaps this may have been by using the software incorrectly but even so, the very fact that it appears possible for this to happen simply by using the software incorrectly and the fact that it happens with some degree of frequency given the number of reports of this happening that i have heard of over the years on music discussion forums fills me with dread that i have to now use this software. And given the software's blatant disregard for the user's choice as to where to store his/her files it's no surprise that this happens. The software is pointlessly doing dangerous things with my data. Please make it stop.
    Please can i just at the very least make iTunes play the music from the folder i have chosen to put my files in and not copy those files here there and everywhere without my say so? Thankyou.

    option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

  • Missing Audio When I Play The Whole Movie, But Still in Clip

    I am working on a project in iMovie. I adjusted the audio for all of the clips and it played perfectly. I added a clip, and now if I play the whole movie, the audio of the following clip does not play. If I start playing at that troublesome clip, the audio is still there. Very weird issue.
    I have checked the levels of all clips and all seems normal. I tried restarting iMovie, my computer, repairing permissions, reseting PRAM, emptied the cache. Nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas?
    I should also note that the clip before the one without audio is in slow-motion. If I take the slow-motion off, the audio works fine. Maybe just a bug? Anyone know a way to solve the problem instead of just a work-around?
    Message was edited by: newmanjg

    Make sure that the slow motion is set to a preset value like 25%, 50%. There are tic marks on the slider for the pre-sets. If you use a custom percentage ike 37%, it messes up the audio.

  • How can I make the first page of a PDF load before the whole file on a website

    I work for a company that loads they brochures in PDF format on their website and the PDF's were formerly created in Indesign and converted.
    When the files were  viewed on the website, the first page loaded right away while the others loaded. Now I have created an interactive PDf with buttons in Fireworks, but when I convert the file to PDF and load it on the web, the first page does not load until the whole file loads which is about 5MB.
    My employer likes the buttons and interactivity, but does not want teh customer sitting there for a few minutes looking at an empty screen while the whole file loads to view.
    Does anyone know what I mean? I could use some help.
    Thanks!

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

  • Ipod as hard disk - Why am I not able to see the whole file?

    I'm using my 80 gig 5th gen ipod as a hard disk for the first time. I've dragged a 32 KB text file to the ipod. When I scroll though the file all is great...but I'm not able to see the whole file? It's like I get one page and that's all. Any ideas to help me?

    Do you mean the Notes function? If so, the file size per note is, I believe, 4k. Therefore, you'd need to break up a 32k file into several parts or it will be truncated.

  • How do i delete files in pages, i have some old invoices in pages that i want to delete, i can delete the text but not the whole file, please help. Dennis

    You locate the file in the Finder(it's in the Documents item of the sidebar by default), drag it to the Trash, and empty the Trash.

  • My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software?

    My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on 2011 iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software? I cant figure whats causing the jerky video so I'm assuming its the new OS. Any one have any suggestions?

  • I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    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.

  • How to see the whole file names in finder column view?

    Hi guys,
    I like to use finder in column view. However, most of the times, the file names get trunked and I have to redim the column to see the whole names. Other day, without wanting to, I must have pressed some key combination, and the column got redim automatically, so I could read the whole file names. So, my question is if does anybody know how to achieve this?

    I don't know what "redim" means, but if you double-click the column separator, it becomes wide enough for the longest name. If you Option-double-click it, all columns become wide enough for the longest name in each column.
