  My PC: Windows Vista Business

  Problem: I am changing a video with Windows Movie Maker. To add music, I bought and downloaded a number of songs with my iTunes account. The songs play on my PC only when you use the iTunes software. The extension of file on the songs is "m4a".

  When I try to play one of the songs in Windows Media Player, I get the following message:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. »

  When I try to import one of the songs in Windows Movie Maker, I get the following message:

  "More than a Feeling.m4a cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file. »

  ==================================
  M4A is not a compatible format. The simple solution
  is to convert .m4a files in .wma format and
  then import into Movie Maker.

  The following free Converter works for me...

  Free Mp3 Wma Converter
  http://www.download.com/free-MP3-WMA-converter/3000-2140_4-10442362.html
  (FWIW if you install the converter, you can uncheck
  offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you can uncheck
  the CD Ripper and Easy MP3 Cutter)

  ==================================
  I joined just thinking... the free VLC Media Player
  and or Media Player Classic allows you to 'play '.
  your files of .m4a... but they will have to if conversion
  you want to use in Movie Maker.

  Hello

  1. what version of Windows Media Player is installed on the computer?

  2. what happens when you try to play the songs?

  3. do you receive any error messages?

  4. have you already check the manual for the type of files supported by the playback device?

  I suggest you to check if the file format is compatible with the unit for playback.

• Still play songs from my iPhone when connected to wifi

  Had this problem before, but it stopped happening a while ago only to re - emerge with the iOS 10 update.

  I'm running on an iPhone 6 and used to play my music library on shuffle.

  Over the years, I've deleted some songs from my library of songs, but they remain available for re - download in iCloud.

  However, from time to time, if I play songs on shuffle when connected to wifi, one of these songs removed will be available on my phone and play.  It does not download to my phone and still only available for download on iCloud.

  Is it possible to stop these removed songs to play on quite my phone when connected to wifi?

  I'll add that I'm not on all subscriptions either except to increase my storage iCloud.

  I believe that you open the music application, select "download music", then make your choices from there.  If you do not select the "download music" it will first play all the songs that you have purchased.

• Windows Media Player cannot play audio files

  Hi, I have Toshiba laptop, this is my baby, and all of a sudden I can't play sounds! When I click to play a song in windows media player, it says:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device. It might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it can be used by another program, or it may not work properly.

  I tried everything and I'm on my last nerve! Basically, I'm rubbish with computers, I do not understand this at all, I followed all the ways suggested by the section 'aid' in my computer and I can't always listen to 'The Feeling!' Please help, I'm going crazy here!

  Yes my friend. The computer world is really not easy to understand, and sometimes I wish that I could no longer live the island of computer.
  but you know, the development never stop.

  OK, now your problem; have you checked the Device Manager?
  You don't see any yellow exclamation next to the sound card?

  I think that you should first try reinstalling the audio driver. Of course, it s a very tips but especially it works essentially ;)

• Satellite L505-10J - cannot play more than 30-60 min

  Hello

  I just bought the Toshiba L505-10 days last week and I'm really satisfied with my choice, but when I run a game like Counter Strike Source or Risen I have some strange problems. The first 30 to 60 Minutes are Ok, but then the sound starts cracking and my mouse stops (Razer Lachesis) shifts when I hold a key on the keyboard (for example, W to go forward). When I go to my office while playing this problem disappeared (I opened Notepad down W and moved the mouse. No problem at all). When I switch back is there once again. The only solution to this problem is to restart my computer. Then I can play the next 30-60 minutes before it starts all over.

  I have already reinstalled Windows 7, but the problem is still there.
  When I use my Touchpad instead of my mouse is the same thing. Cannot play more than 30-60 min...

  This is not acceptable, because I want to play games on my cell phone at any time.

  Hope someone can help me and sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Germany.

  Hello

  As I understand it, this problem occurs only playing games.
  There is no problem to use the laptop with another application.
  Is this good?

  Hmm how about graphic card driver update and BIOS update?
  If more recent versions are available then it would be desirable to update!

  Check it!

  Original title: cannot get audio from video .3g2 (Windows 7)

  I have a number of videos that were recorded on a Motorola phone to format .3g2, when I played against them in windows XP Pro using what was the most recent media player, they played very well and the audio was present.

  I've since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and have found that videos will play with media player sound is not output.

  I tried different players like VLC (same result, no sound) and came across one called SUPER from erightsoft which indeed works and allows me to re - encode to .wmv BUT when I do and you try to read the .wmv I encounter an error:

• Error when deleting the songs to the phone using wmp12

  I use my phone android in USB mode. I can see all the songs in my phone in wmp 12. When I try to delete any song in my phone, I get the following error:

  "Windows Media Player cannot delete a file from the device"
  I use Windows 7 and windows media player 12.
  For the screenshot, click here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wy4xum97k0mmsn6/WMP-Sync.PNG

  I uninstalled WMP 12 and installed WMP 11. It worked like a charm. Seems that there is a bug in WMP 12.

  If you google "downgrade wmp 12 to wmp 11", you will find a Web page and youtube video explaining the process.
