  • Impossible to play the song in the Player Windows Media - original file cannot be found

    original title: original file could not be found

    Can not play in itunes or windows media player tried to burn, and he says original file can not be found how find orginal, he bought it on emusic are downloaded on ipod, but now his party? help me find?

    Use Windows search to find your file.

    If you do not know what are the exact title (and its spelling) then use the character generic way:

    *.MP3 if its a file in MP3 you are looking for
    *.wav if it is a file in wav format

    etc.

    The * (asterisk) acts as a wild card for Windows Search will throw all, for example, the mp3 files on your PC. Note down where the file is stored and either move it to a folder that you want, or "point" and WMP or iTunes to this location using the file add to the library feature.

    If both formats above are not that you downloaded, you simply substitute the file extension for the one who is.

    See you soon,.

  • PC with Vista recently 'impossible to play your test' (error 4E63:0F1B)

    Dell Dimension E520 running Vista Home Basic

    No noise at all; Speakers uncut; Harward audits indicate devices work ok. Have re-installed drivers.

    Problem solved. I had "Automatic updates" turned on. I uninstalled all the updates, as far as may 14, 2012, when I first encountered the problem and hey presto its has started playing! Most of the updates have been 'updated security Windows xxxx KBnnn"

    Now I turned off automatic updates that my system is stable and functional.

  • Broadcast which is playing in iTunes for Windows 7 to my Apple TV gen3

    I want to share my Apple TV 3 What is currently playing in my iTunes Windows 7 PC. That's my main problem, but I don't think it's strictly the same as streaming because streaming via homegroup sharing simply library or playlists, not what is currently playing.  Ideally, I would then broadcast at Bose Soundtouch 10 via bluetooth (or wireless) to Apple TV.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hello. In iTunes, you should see an icon AirPlay. It is a small rectangle with a line underneath, representing a TV. Click it and you should be able to select Apple TV as a destination. For audio, I don't think that ATV 3 supports audio over Bluetooth. However, it has an optical output.

  • Get a fixed image and audio while playing a movie in Windows Media Player, also get the message: "network is too busy to read the file to its original quality.

    Original title: Windows Media Player

    When I go to play a movie using windows MediaPlayer all I get is an imagwe again with audio and this message 'network is too busy to read the file to its original quality. Also, all my other media playing programs read the video but are rather "lag". I think the problem is that I already used a program to download torrents called 'BitTorent' and maybe this has used up all my bandwidth or processing speed? Not really sure but would really like it if I could still use WMP and I'm looking for resolution to my problem?

    Thank you

  • When I download a WMV file on a website and then play through the Player Windows Media, I get the audio but the video is just a green screen Uni.

    When I download a wmv on an internet site and then play through the Player Windows Media, I get the audio but the video is just a green screen Uni.  I was told that the media player can miss a card.

    Hello

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
    2. are you able to play videos other than video .wmv successfully?
    3. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    Method 1
    I suggest you to check if the hardware acceleration of the display device setting is too high.
    a. Click Start, click Run, type desk.cpl and then click OK.

    b. click on the settings tab and then click Advanced.

    c. click the Troubleshooting tab, and then move the hardware acceleration to none.

    d. click on apply and then click OK twice.

    e. If the problem is resolved after you move the slider hardware acceleration to none, contact the manufacturer of the graphics adapter driver to determine if there is an update that resolves this specific problem.

    Method 2
    The required codec is missing or damaged. If the problem occurs when you use a .wmv file, download or reinstall the latest version of Windows Media Player. If you use an earlier version of Windows Media Player, upgrade to the current version of Windows Media Player for your operating system.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player

    If the problem occurs when you use a different format of video file, for example a .mpeg file or an .avi file, download or reinstall the appropriate third-party codec.
