Apple TV Won't airplay certain songs from Macbook with itunes 11

I have a MBPro running Mountain Lion and itunes 11. My apple TV is second generation with the latest software. When I am airplaying music to my apple TV it works just fine, but randomly it will stop at the beginning of certain songs and won't skip to the next song or play the song it is on. It just stays at 0:00. What is strange is I have a Philips Fidelio that airplays the same songs just fine. Also, the songs play fine when I use my computer speakers. It is just when I am airplaying to apple TV and just for certain songs. I even tried deleting and redownloading the songs from itunes match, and the problem persists. I have looked everywhere for an answer but haven't found anything.

Go into Itunes, turn on home sharing.
Verify your Airplay icon in your menu bar

  • IPod Won't Play Certain Songs From iTunes

    I just downloaded some songs from iTunes. I can play them on my computer, but when I try to play them on my iPod it just automatically goes to the next song and will not play it. I have never had this happen before. Any ideas?

    Same here. I have an iPod Photo with the latest firmware installed (1.2). I can no longer play any music on my iPod that I've purchased from the iTunes Music Store since upgrading to iTunes 6. Songs purchased prior to upgrading iTunes work fine on my iPod. All songs play fine on my computer.
    The two workarounds that I know of are to restore your ipod to factory settings, which I'm not willing to do just yet since it will erase everything on it.
    The other workaround is to burn your purchased music to a CD and reimport it. Then move the reimpoted songs to your iPod. That has worked for me so far.
    I'm hoping Apple will release some sort of software/firmware upgrade to either iTunes or iPod that resolves this problem.

  • ITunes won't transfer certain songs from iPhone

    I recently got a new desktop computer and downloaded iTunes. I synced my iPhone all up and then realized only about 600/800 of my songs were actually imported to my iTunes library before I checked "Sync Music" on my iPhone through iTunes. So I manually selected "Transfer purchases" but all it did was download all the iTunes-purchased songs, rather than all of my songs from my iPhone to iTunes library. I realized that most (if not all) of the songs that hadn't been transferred to my iTunes were externally purchased items (songs from CDs or direct files from my computer). I can't find any posts or articles on how to fix this, but there must be a way to accomplish this. It really shouldn't be necessary to re-download and import 200+ songs into my library from CDs and files (which would involve finding out and going through each and every song that hadn't transferred to iTunes from my phone) when they should already be there. If I check sync music, that means iTunes will erase all the songs on my phone and replace them with the ones in the iTunes library (which I also hate). iTunes should transfer all files when you sync your iPhone because that is the exact purpose of iTunes, not just manage Apple-bought items specifically. I really want to fix this ASAP so my phone can be synced up. Thanks.

  • Sharing song from GB with iTunes

    When I share a track of my GB project with iTunes it goes thru the steps of 'mixdown', etc., but the process of 'Copying preview' goes on for ever and never ends and fails. When I check my "Force Quit' under the Apple menu it appears that GB is "not responding'. Can anybody please help? René

  • Ipod won't sync certain songs after update to 5.1.1

    I updated my ipod touch to version 5.1.1.  This included the addition of icloud to my system.  Since I have updated it, my ipod won't add certain songs from my itunes.  It's really weird how it just randomly selected songs to download.  I have songs in itunes that I purchased, as well as songs I imported from CD's.  Every song shows up on my ipod song list, however most are "gray" and won't allow me to select them to play.  (like they are not downloaded or something).  I have retored my ipod three times to see if that will allow all the songs to play on my ipod and it won't work.  Everytime I try to sync my ipod the fist song that tries to sync says "The file wasn't synced to the ipod because it cannot be read or written"......I have tried removing multiple songs and still get this message for every song. I did figure out that you can open the itunes store through the ipod and select "purchased".  You can then view songs that "aren't on the ipod" and manually download each individual song to the ipod, however, not only is this a pain in the *** and going to take forever since I have 1000+ songs and tv shows, but this still won't get all my own music added from CD's to my ipod. HELP! Any tips or solutions!! ( Also, I am a Mac user if that makes a difference)    

    After over TWO HOURS on the phone with apple support I still had no solution.  There were several songs that would freeze up my itunes, then I got the message "blah blah song" couldn't be transfered to the ipod because the file was unable to be read or written.  The tech and I came up with the solution to just delete every song that came up on. In the end, I had to individually add EVERY SINGLE SONG to my ipod one at a time.  If an error popped up I just deleted that song and made a note of it.  I had no issues with the songs I imported from CD's, only the songs purchased off itunes.  The tech never could figure out why.  We rebooted, wiped clean, reset, anything...you name it we tried.  We even moved everything to another computer to see if it was a computer issue, then we wiped my husband's ipod touch to see if it was a hardware issue on my ipod. NOTHING. This finally worked even though it took all day.  Everything seems okay now, we will see the next time I add songs.  I did lose ALL my photos and videos taken with the ipod. :/ That really ***** because I have a 1 year old who's entire first year was on that stupid thing.  What a waste of a day.

  • Certain songs wont transfer from Itunes to Iphone, telling me to authorize computer and when I do so, it's telling me that computer is already authorized. So why am I not able to tranfer certain songs from itunes to my iphone?

So why am I not able to transfer certain songs from my itunes to my iphone?

    Hello Jfalconi19,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring the apps purchased from the iTunes Store.  I recommend following the steps in this article:

  • Suddenly I can,t play certain songs from my itune libary as they are connected to my old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . how do i get you to link the 2

    Suddenly  i can,t play certain songs from my libary as they are connected to an old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . How do i merge them together ?

    I had this problem yesterday (or a very similar problem). When you click on your purchased song, an old email address (Apple Account ID) pops up and asks for an old password to authorize permission. It is very stubborn and does not really co-operate when using the usual remedies (forgot password - send me an email - what is your birthday, etc). I fumbled around and eventually got it all straightened out. I can tell you what I did - I cannot tell you what exactly worked. Access your current Apple Itunes account. Deauthorize all computers (up to 4 or 5 in total, I forget...) that can play your purchased music. Update your password. Close your account and Itunes. Open Itunes and try your new password. Now try the "old" music that would not play before - your "old" email/Account ID should still pop-up asking for a password. Delete the old email/ID and put in your current one. Then use your new password to activate. This should solve the problem of old ID / old Password / no permission. My apologies for the imprecise method, again I am not sure exactly WHAT worked here - all I know is that the Itunes Help sections and tutorials were good - but of no use in this case.
    Cheers

  • So annoyed. iTunes won't authorize CERTAIN songs after upgrading computer.

    Ok, so I recently upgrading my computer from a Macbook OS X to a Macbook Pro and now it seems that I can't authorize certain songs, I have two accounts: my current account, and my old account, which is the one that I can't authorize. I've tried everything from re-downloading iTunes, to deleting the SC folder, but to no avail.
    The thing that really annoys me, is that when it asks me to authorize the song, it tells me "this computer is already authorized" Ok, good, it's authorized, but then I go to play the song again, it tells me again that my computer isn't authorized! It's like a vicious cycle that never ceases to annoy me. So in short, my computer lets me play some songs from my old itunes account, but won't let me authorize others. Help, please, is there anything I'm missing or doing wrong?

    contact _*iTunes Store Customer Service*_ and explain your problem.

  • How do I select only certain songs from itunes library to upload to my iphone?

    Trying to free up some memory and my whole itunes library is loaded on my phone.  Is there a way to select only certain songs to sync with my phone?

    When your iphone is connected to iTunes, go to the phone section, go to options and then select "Sync only checked songs and videos".  Then go to yotur iTunes music library, and check only the songs you want.  If you are viewing the library in the "songs" option the check boxes are next to the songs.  If you are viewing from the "album" view, you have to right-click each song and select check.

  • I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts

    I can't copy certain songs from my iTunes library to my iPhone despite repeated attempts. These are songs I copied way back when from CDs onto my computer.  I can play them on my computer just fine in iTunes too. Status bar says "Updating files" and "Preparing to Copy" but nothing actually copies to my phone. My phone shows the songs greyed out and circles to the left of the song in the Store column and the songs never get copied onto my phone.
    My guess is that there is something I am missing or something I am doing wrong.
    Any advice/help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Can i delete certain songs from 1pod nano

    can i delete certain songs from my ipod nano?

    It depends on how you sync your iPod, if you sync with playlists you can remove a song by clicking it then clicking delete, if you sync by artist, album or genre you can't delete certain song. You can't delete them on your iPod.

  • Any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes on MacBook Pro?

    I'm an idiot.  I'm just going to say that up front.  I feel that's fair for all who venture here.
    I've had a terrible time with an update..and I wasn't able to get iTunes to acknowledge/recognize my iPhone or iPod once I ran and installed the current update.  While trying to get my iPhone/iPod to be recognized, I did a lot of removing/uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  During this mess.....I somehow DELETED MY ENTIRE iTunes LIBRARY!!!  The whole thing.  I have no idea how.
    I thought I had been backing up....and thought I had Time Machine so I was safe.  I was wrong.  I won't even ask about Time Machine here....I've already disclosed I'm an idiot. 
    I am finally able to get iTunes to acknowledge my iPhone.  Thank goodness.  But, now......I have Songs and Playlists on my iPhone that aren't on iTunes.
    Is there any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes? 
    Thanks!

  • Is there any way to upload songs from iPod to iTunes?

    My old computer broke,so all of my songs from my old iTunes are gone. Is there any way that I could upload the songs from my iPod, to my iTunes? Is there any type of software I'd have to download, that could do this?

    Hi Bubblez,
    There're lots of programs that can help you doing this. Transfer songs from yoou iPod and bought on iTunes Store is even easier, you just need to click "Transfer Purchases" on the left Source Panel.
    Just read this [thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6189621&#6189621] and pay attention to the Zevoneer's post.
    Hope this helps!
