• Cannot play songs from "m4a" Windows Media Player or Movie Maker, purchased & downloaded on iTunes songs

  My PC: Windows Vista Business
  Browser: Internet Explorer 8
  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. »

  Where can I find the "codec" above to download?  This will solve my problem?  Any advice to avoid this problem in the future?

  ==================================
  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...

• Just installed update for Windows Media Player 11 and now, all the songs I had in my library before the update, I get the message you need a license to play these songs.

  These songs have been copied to my computer from the CD that I bought at retail, and have played several times.  Is there a process where they can be reinstated? I don't know if it's the right word, but I hate having to download individual licenses for these songs. And why doesn't IE throw me on the internet as soon as the download license screen happens?  Do I have to uninstall the update?

  Hello

  1. What is the exact error message you get?
  2. what version of Internet Explorer you are using?

• Why Windows Media Player plays the song wrong when I click it in a playlist?

  I did a huge selection automatically (with 145 songs) with five-star is Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 on my Dell XPS L702X.

  So, let's say that I want to hear "Everybody Hurts [edit]" r.e.m. I click on n, it starts WMP play "Slips through my fingers" by Agneta Fältskog!
  He plays another song which is 24 positions above!
  At first, it used only for touch me when I was sorting the songs in the playlist by Genre, Album, year, etc... But now, even with the contributing artist, he played another song!
  The only way for her to play the song I want is with some navigation arrow keys or when I clicked on the playlist and I'd get a unsorted list. With the unsorted list, I find the song.
  It's a difficult problem, but I have a temporary solution. But please try to find an answer!
  EDIT: now at random. Unsorted perspective will give me wrong songs and the artist's view contributing sort will give me good music! What a mix! Say that it is a "re - Mix"!

• Windows media player plays is not the wmv files

  I installed a new version of AMD Catalyst Software Suite V 12.2.00 08/03/11 and immediately pinned the problem of not being able to run the MWV Media Player files.  The media player will turn green and the audio works well.  I guess that my old (2008) Dell Studio 540 Intel Core Quad 2.66 Hz machine is too slow for all graphical applications included in the CCC again.  I uninstalled the entire update and installed the driver more AMD V 8.950.0.0.  Rebooted and tried to execute a file on Media Player WMV.  The same problem.  I went back to a restore point, until the day before the installation of the new version of the Suite software Catalyst.  Then I rolled back to the previous driver V 8.920.0.0.  Does not solve the problem.

  I finally ended up at this place where someone posted the same problem.  I went if the three methods that have been listed.
  Method 1: Go to the Play-year-audio or video file FAQ
  Result: Nothing useful there.

  Method 2: Re-save the file and check, it is that it works.
  Result: Panel received
  DllRegisterServer in successful wmvdecod.dll OK

  Method 3: Change screen Resolution.  My procedure was different from that used by anyone trying to help the first user.  I'm running Windows Vista 64 - bit SP2.  I had to go through the display settings, advanced settings.  Click on change settings and I received the message: your current display driver does not allow changes need to be made to hardware acceleration settings.  I then clicked on the Troubleshooting tab and received the following panel;  Catalyst Control Center cannot be started.  Currently, there are no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center.     No big surprise that I had uninstalled the CCC.  Should I reinstall again?

  Having listed all the codecs on my machine, I have no idea what to do with them.  The only one that seems to apply is WMVideo Decoder DMO.

  My profile is:
  Dell Studio 540 Intel Core Quad 9400 Hz 2.66 6 GB memory
  Vist Windows 64 - bit SP2
  Dell E207WFR ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series
