After I installed the windows 8.1 update, podcasts and music won't play

After I installed the windows 8.1  update, itunes stopped playing. When I try to play, it brings up the  song but stays at 0:00. My subscribed podcasts still download but they  all stay at 0:00 too. I can click on a later point in the song/podcast  and it moves to that point but just stays there as if it is paused but  indicating it is playing in the controls.
I  have unistalled/reinstalled itunes and have the same problem.

Hi there Juniorm1,
Take a look at the article for the current version of iTunes for Windows.
iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows (64-bit)

    I installed the latest version of Flash, but PowerPoint 2010 won't play embedded videos.  I keep getting a message telling me to install Flash, even though it is clearly on my machine.

  • Itunes progress bar is not moving and music won't play. I also have no audio from my laptop at all. Any ideas? I am running windows 8.

    Have had no previous problems with iTunes but for past two weeks my I tunes progress bar is not moving and music won't play.
    I also have no audio from my laptop at all. Any ideas? I am running windows 8.

    I'm having the same incredibly frustrating problem. I have 50-60 GBs of music and now literally ALL OF A SUDDEN most of my mp3s won't play in iTunes. Of the songs that do play, many of them sound garbled (almost as if you were listening to them underwater). As others have noted, the songs do in fact play properly in other media players (VLC, MPC, WMP, etc).
    I feel like I've tried just about everything but I can't seem to fix the problem. Nor have I been able to find any viable solutions after hours of scouring the internet. Here is a list of the steps I've taken so far, in chronological order:
    1. Closed/re-opened iTunes
    2. Re-booted computer
    3. Uninstalled/re-installed iTunes
    4. Tried deleting songs from iTunes library and then re-adding them, but after dropping files into the library they don't show up at all, iTunes refuses to import them
    5. Downgraded from iTunes 8 to iTunes 7
    None of these things have helped at all and I am amazed that even after completely uninstalling iTunes 8 and then installing version 7 I'm still experiencing the same problem. And, on top of things, I've found that iTunes 7 is not recognizing the ID3 tags for many of the songs it does import.
    My apologies for the length of this post. I just want to be specific and provide as much info as I can so that maybe we can find a solution to this thing.
    So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • As I was installing the Windows 7 on my Imac and stated how I wanted to divide the drive I put 160, but I want to add more space how can I can the drive space to from 160 to 250? please help thank you.

    As I was installing the Windows 7 on my Imacwith the bootcamp  and stated how I wanted to divide the drive I put 160,  but I want to add more space because of the adobe software it will not install two of them, so how can I add more on the drive space to from 160 to 250? please help thank you.

    I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but it might help:
    "If you made the Windows partition too small
    First, back up all the information on your Windows partition. Then run Boot Camp
    Assistant to restore your disk to a single volume. Restart your computer and use Boot
    Camp Assistant to partition the disk again and reinstall Windows. Don’t forget to install
    the Boot Camp drivers after installing Windows."

  • Have a new iphone 5S and music won't play when headphones are plugged in. Restored the phone and tried again without restoring my info.  Any ideas on apps that cause this?

    I just purchased a new iphone 5s and music would not play on it with headphones plugged in.  They replaced the phone for me but it continued to do this.  So I restored the phone and tried to play music on youtube before I restored all my settings and apps....Any suggestions on common apps that may cause this?

    We have tried 3 different brands of headphones, including the apple set and auxiliary audio cord.
    Also, music works fine before I load all my apps, hence why I ask if anyone knows about any kind of certain apps causing this.

  • Since installing the 7.0.4 updates my iPhone 4S won't let me delete voicemail messages. Help

    Since installing the 7.0.3 and now the 7.04 updates my IPhone 4S won't easily delete voice messages. I have to try over and over. There is no rhyme or reason as to why it sometimes works. The guy at Verizon said Apple did it on purpose to force you to upgrade to the Apple IPhone 5 series. I've heard the iPhone 5 has problems also.
    I've always liked my Apple products: MacBook Pro, IPad 2, but now I'm worried about buying an IPhone. I hate to give up on the syncing capability but this is a pain.
    Advise?
    Thanks!

    What is the model of your iphone?  I have a hunch but need more data to see if I'm correct. Thanks!

  • After I downloaded the most recent versions of itunes and quicktime  I cannot play any videos, tutorials.  Thank you for any help.

    Videos will not play after downloading the mmost recent versions of Itunes and Quicktime.  What can I do?  The video tries to start but freezes and does not respond.

    Appreciate the suggestion.  I did the repair, but videos still don't play.
    I tried putting quicktime in "safe mode", but that also did not solve the video-play problem.
    However, I downloaded a video and that video does play.
    A video may start but quickly freezes.
    In itunes is the player "quicktime or itunes"?
    When I open the quicktime player(its appearance doesn't look like a player with controls for play, pause, etc.).
    Maybe the controls appear when play begins' however, then I try to open any song of video, I always get the same message:  "Do you want to allow this website to open a program on your computer(in itunes, I assume).)
    If i choose "yes" I get an error message.
    I thought this additional information might be helpful, but you can just answer the original question if you have some additional ideas.
    Thanks for your help.

  • ITunes update - podcasts and music library lost

    A couple of days ago iTunes updated. Now, all of my podcasts are gone, and iTunes has lost its connection to my music (etc) library. When I reset the Library preference nothing happens (eg, my music doesn't reappear). And I usually get a sync error on my iPhone now. Help.?!
    This is on a Windows XP machine; I use it just as a media server. Right now pretty much nothing works in iTunes but the radio.

    If your are on Windows XP - SP2 and above, try this:
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • Machines keep installing the same Security Essentials updates over and over

    Has anyone seen this problem before?  The updates are installed but every few minutes I get the notification that there are new updates available.  It is the same definition updates for security essentials.  It is not happening on just 1
    machine but all of them.

    Yep. Generally caused because you've not done housekeeping on the ancient Definition Updates, and the supersession list for a Definition Update is not that long.
    DECLINE all Definition Updates that are older than a week.
    Run the Server Cleanup Wizard once a month to automatically decline all of the EXPIRED Definition Updates.

  • Stability issues after installing the Java SE 6 update on Leopard

    Hi, I have my macbook pro freeze once and not properly wake up from sleep twice after opening the lid within the last two days, and this started happening after I installed the Java SE 6 update over the weekend. In the case of freeze, I had to to a hard reboot. In the other two cases, the macbook comes alive after opening the lid but the display stays blank. I need to close the lid and open a few more times to have the display come back on. In all the cases, I was running Word 2008, which has its own set of bugs (esp. with the spaces), but I wasn't experiencing this before the Java update. I have all the other updates installed as well (including the Safari update last week, the latest Office 2008 update of March, and the EFI firmware update a couple weeks ago).
    Does anyone have the same problem? Also, the jittery mouse pointer problem after wake from sleep, which used to occur occasionally since I first upgraded to leopard, seems to occur a lot more frequently now. The only solution to get the mouse pointer back to normal is a restart, which is quite annoying.

    Hi again, I found a solution to the nested folders problem. Apparently this was not due to Java... It was just a folder replicating itself over and over again. Still don't know the cause, but searching with Google I found this:http://forums.macnn.com/54/unix/156870/nesting-of-folders-problem/
    The command allowed me to find the folder and subsequently trash it. Everything seems to be fine right now. The disc utility does not report the "exceeded the recommended limit of 100 " error.

  • PowerMac G4 won't restart...ater installing the 10.4.2 update

    Hi
    My Mac will not restart after I installed the 10.4.2 update disc. Now, I have used this disc before without any prolems and now my computer will not go beyond the grey screen with the grey Apple logo and progress indicator. I would like to mention that when I had 10.4.7 installed in this very same computer, my iDVD suddenly dissappeared, which meant that I had to re-install my mac back to OS X 10.2 in order to use the sofware restore discs. I did a clean install which meant deleting all my documents and sofware I purchased. Everything went well when I 'Upgraded' back to OS X 10.4. The problem occured when I had to restart after installing the 10.4.2 combo upgrade. I have tried the following things indivdually:
    1) Disconnected the Mac and left it over night like that
    2) Taken the small battery out and reinserted.
    3)rebooted in single mode by pressing command S
    4)Typed FSCK -fy which stated that the volume machintosh HD appeared to be OK
    None of these helped. I've yet to try resetting the PRAM but I don't know where the 'Option' button is located on my keyboard!
    Please help as I have to do my work and I seriously can't live without my Mac. I am panicing and fuming over this! Any help or advice is greatly welcomed.
    Thank You.

    Try things in Apple doc.#106464.
    Also, Try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
    Cheers!

  • After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC.  I receive a window with the Microsoft error code R6034

    After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7).  I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034.  Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest".  I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted.  The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.

  • On Windows 7, neither my quicktime or iTunes will start. This started after I installed the newest update. All the files that are needed are there. I recently updated Quicktime to see if that would work, but it didn't.

I looked through some other discussions like this, and found out that all of my files are correct. Some people are saying that they needed to remove Filebot, but I can't find that on my computer. Help, please?
