WMP music files will not play

I recently did a system restore and all my music files have been backed up on CD. After the restoration, I copied and pasted the files music mu. Now it shows all my files but the habit of playing. A msg comes up and says that WMP cannot play because he recognizes "format it was compressed in origiohally." All of my music came from a friend who has a MAC. So I think they were MP4. But he did sort of play. I don't know how to convert them or something on the conversion of files. Can someone pleas help me. Thank you very much

Hi Kevin...

I think that the simplest approach here would be for you to download "iTunes for Windows" from apple. If the files are as you suspect in a format "apple/mac" they play well in the iTunes player... (you need to import into iTunes from your music folder). If you prefer to use WMP, you can use iTunes to create an mp3 version of the files (if only they are not protected against copying).

Get "iTunes for Windows" from the link below and get back to me if you have problems to access to the (or playing) files. (UK link - select the box under the "Download" button.)

https://www.Apple.com/UK/iTunes/download/

BTW... When you mention "System Restore" do you mean a re-install? You don't have to back up your system restore files - they are not affected... (It is a good policy to back up your files well!)

Ric's soon.

  • music file will not play in second hard drive double click Error "" the requested operation requires a rise ".

    Original title: music file won't play second hard drive by double click.

    Windows 7 ultimate/64

    I have a second hard drive on which I store my music files. If I open a player (Foobar is what I use now) and open the music file in the program, he plays very well, since the second HD.

    But if I double click on the music file (.mp3, usually), I get the message:

    "The requested operation requires a rise."

    I think it should open in the player by default when I do that.

    I remember well, it wasn't the case when I started to use this computer (it's fairly new), while something might have changed.
    I have the .mp3, .wav etc all default extensions for the Foobar player program.

    I went through elaborate measures to appropriate the entire disk and have granted full permissions for me as a user, following to the letter one of the many sites of the detailed instructions for this operation. But there is no help in sight.
    Original title: music file won't play second hard drive by double click

    So I can let my reader opens a music file leave a second drive, but I can't call him by double click or click right/context citing the player. When I do that, nothing happens, but I don't get the message "requires a rise."

    Every time I think that I am getting to know Windows 7, something like this happens. Avoid to receive life dull, of course.

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I've pretty much exhausted my own attempts.

    Jack

    Update: I think I've solved the problem. I have no idea that what caused it, but here's what fixed it:

    1 uninstalled Foobar with usual Control Panel uninstall
    2A through the startup disk everything and delete folders or files with the name "foobar" in them.
    3 did the same for the registry (creating a point of restoration first, of course)
    4 restarted
    5 download and install Foobar.

    Yes.

    Works very well.

    A big thank you to all who responded.

  • .wma files will not play in WMP11

    Suddenly my music wma files will not play in WMP11. I have tried everything I know and read, nothing helps. So far I tried to convert the MP3 files is not working even in these programs (v3.0 have all Audio Recorder being one of them); I tried to delete the ID3 and all the other codes (HeadStrong ID3Kill v1.4), all what has been clear all my songs the album/song. etc - HUGE mistake! I tried to play in RealPlayer - still will not play wma files only mp3s; removed and reset the codecs - nothing happened. so on and so forth.

    What in the world is happening? I uninstalled my old version of WMP and installed more current. When I went to play the WMA in WMP11, I get an error that it can not play. It does not itself error code number, only this statement in error. I tried to restore my computer to a date and time earlier, he said that he could not change my Media Player to the previous version.

    I have more than 1,000 songs on my computer, I simply can't pull it all back in (for days and days), I copied them on 2 sticks of memory as backup, also HUGE mistake because them copied without albums and song titles.

    Help please!

  • File will not play

    I added a MP4 of GoPro file to a new project of first elements 11.  Then I made.  Then I click the Play triangle, and absolutely nothing happens.  I can drag the CTI autour, and the picture moves with the indicator.  But the file will not play its own.

  • After making like MOV, file will not play in Quicktime format.

    When I make files MOV or MP4s, the files will not play in Quicktime or VLC. Opening to QuickTime, a "Conversion" window... "appears. After waiting for a long time, an error message appears.

    Any suggestions?

    It's nothing to do with the Adobe software. This is because Apple has removed many of the most recent version of QuickTime codecs and requires a conversion of these codecs during playback in the newer versions of QuickTime Player.

    Here's a thread on the forums of Apple about this:

  • Do you know how to solve the reason why I can't export my file into a MP3 file successfully? Why the MP3 file will not play after that I exported?

    Do you know why a file I exported using Adobe Audition doesn't play like a MP3 player?

    Well, to give a detailed response, we will have to a lot more on exactly how you did your export MP3 and where it will not play.

    However, a quick generic conjecture is that the hearing can make MP3 bit rate Constant (CBR) and bit rate Variable (VBR), as well as a wide range of bit rates.  (All of this is implemented on the screen POPS when you save in MP3 format).  Some MP3 players get picky with the files VBR and others do not like the low rate files then you better check these settings on your export.

  • SWF file will not play on the Internet

    I've been everywhere on the internet, find the answer to my problem. I have a site in which I have two Flash animations that I need to play. We're working very well. I bought a model flash, edited, published, no problem. The other, I have a photo gallery template I customized, but it will not play on the internet, not even with the generated html file. Just a big black square appears. Here is a url to the nonworking time:

    www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/ScottHambergArt.html

    This is the HTML generated by Flash 8. I noted that the publication of Flash 8 settings are set to 'Default' and the other Flash file that works is set to "Flash CS4 Settings." When I add that as a profile with a photo gallery, I get the error messages. I have screenshots of all the parameters in Flash, work and not work below files:

    It's the working Flash file url: www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/index2.html

    I could give much too much info, but I think better safe than sorry. And by the way, I'm really new to this (that's why I get models).

  • Edge file will not play.

    Hello

    I posted this in the Muse forum yesterday so my apologies if you have already seen this.

    I'm working on a site that has an animation on the homepage index/created on board.  If it I spotted in a browser, he played very well, but not in Muse so I Redid the animation without sound effects.  He now presents a preview in Muse, but when I download it won't work.

    Just, I abandoned the file OEM from an edge on the homepage and covered with a button that will take you to the full site. Am I missing something?

    I downloaded it to the catalyst for business so maybe someone can give me their thoughts.

    Thank you

    Home

    Ok.  I solved this (thanks for the help).

    It seems that Muse is cached everything that you do and it is not necessarily save any changes you make - in particular where you have repositioned files with the same file name and extension.  So, I found that it is necessary to keep a nice tidy directory - if you make changes to your file Edge animate you must remove all associated files from the directory before re - publish the file as it will not overwrite itself. If you change your Muse file you must remove all THE associated files in the directory you post the html code to and then re - post.  Better yet, you will need to delete the files in the folder where the site is registered and re - register the new.  This seems extreme, but it seems to be the only way to get the two programs to interface cleanly.

    Also, there are a lot of 'useful' teaching videos floating around the web, but some of them are out of date and would be useful if these were withdrawn because some contain conflicting advice.

  • SWF file will not play

    Hi all!

    I need help. I created several SWFs for the new my business site and 3 of 4 play without any problems at all. One is a bit more complicated (for my minimal knowledge of Flash) and will not run and I just can't understand it. Help, please! The test page I place is http://wwwstaging.proclivitysystems.com/overview.html and you will see that nothing loads here. Other (assessment, how it works and console) pages with swf files load very well.

    Help, please! I need to get the site launched today

    Hello

    I don't think that you can do. When you try to play a file from a zip, I believe that only this file is checked out and open. Dependent files are still locked inside of the zip and the file you played cannot find them. I bet if you unzip the file into a folder, then try to read the HTML file, you will not see the questions.

    See you soon... Rick
