It's not letting me play my songs in itunes. They are all listed but will not play

Why will itunes not let me play my songs?  I see all my purchases listed in gray but it will not let me look at them or play them from my music.

Now I don't know what to do. If anyone can help with this that would be awesome.
If the problem is in the "Event" then it sounds as if the thumbnail files have become corrupted for some reason. You could try deleting them from the appropriate "iMovie Events" folder and then closing and re-opening the application. This will force the application to re-generate the thumbnails.

  • I have just updated my Ipod to the latest ios.(deleting everything) and using different sources to get my music back it seems that every time i select multiple/individual songs on itunes i can change artwork but will not show up on my ipod?

    I have a windows 8 computer and have recently updated my ipod to the latest ios and it has wiped my Ipod clean except for my photos. whilst trying to get my music back using different sources like CD's and stuff i cant seem to get any album art to load on my Ipod? I can go on itunes and highlight single/multiple items and change the artwork and my computer will confirm it but when I look on my Ipod it doesnt display any art work or allow me to change the artwork that is already there? i need help please!

    Album artwork can be added/changed on songs via the iTunes Get Info menu item from the File menu. Note that music that you loaded from CDs will not have any artwork. If you want to aquire artwork you can try the File menu item Library > Get Artwork or you can download artwork from the internet, etc. Note that just changing artwork on your computer won't affect the iPod until you sync.
    If the artwork is correct on your computer iTunes then delete all the music on your iPod by syncing with iTunes with no music selected. Then reload the music onto your iPod by again syncing with iTunes with all the music you want selected.

  • Suddenly in both ff 3.6 and beta 4 all of my add-ons are gone; they are all listed on the add-on page but they are not on the browser--help!

    One day when I opened ff all the add-ons had disappeared. I've uninstalled ff and re-installed. I've installed beta 4. I've uninstalled some of the add-ons and re-installed them...nothing makes a difference. I tried deleting extension configuration files in case they were corrupt (per support page)...no help. I'm using Chrome right now but I want my firefox back, I miss it so! Can anyone help me?

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check.

  • I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my music library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not help because they are all listed as added on 12/12/2011.

    I just updated to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not work, because every track is listed as added on 12/12/2011 even though this happened today 12/19/2011.

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

    I'm simply trying to get enough space to update my 5s because of the whole thing where you're phone needs room to install an update. I deleted over 100 songs off of my iPhone while in iTunes on my computer. I decided to sync to see if it would show up, but all that did was add the apps from other people's devices in my house. Then I disconnected and my phone froze. I plugged it back in, got the apple logo and it loaded again, but still it showed 825 songs on my iPhone while according to iTunes, I have 666 songs on my iPhone. What do I do?
    All I wanted was to update my iPhone but as usual, Apple makes things 10x more complicated than they need to be.
    Apple isn't making this 10x more complicated you are.
    If you deleted the music why are you syncing back apps from other user on your computer?
    Have you tried deleting the music directly from your phone and then update over the air?

  • My iBook app won't let me download books, it says that they are already downloaded but to also go to purchases, could someone help please?

    I have recently got an iPad two and I love it, one problem however is that when I try to download books they don't appear on the bookshelf. When I go to purchases to download them, a message pops up that says I have already purchased this item, please go to purchases and select Download! If anyone could help that would be amazing! Many thanks!

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Are you doing this?
    You have to sign in and download each iTunes account individually.

  • Songs are on iPod but will not show! Help me before I lose it!

    I had plugged my iPod in like I ALWAYS do and I was puting some lyrics on my songs when all of a sudden my computer beeped. It said my iPod was not connected and then my iPod reconnected. However when it did it started to ask me to sync it to my computer. I had it setup so I could manage my songs manually. I hit ignore like I have been doing and then it started to update I think but I hit cancell and then BOOM all my songs appeared to be gone both on the iPod and iTunes. But I started searching my iPod because it is a hard drive and I found my songs. They are all there but I can't get them back. I even tried to put the songs on my iPod back on my iPod by draging them into iTunes. They showed up but when I disconnected it and reconnected it they were gone again! I searched the drive and I found this message:

    P.S. Norton Antivirus keeps telling me I have a corrupt file. It says: iTunes:
    iTunes.exe- Corrupt File
    The file or directory/iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesDB is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
    What does that mean? I am scared that it is really messed up! I did delete a file under videos that had never been there but I don't see the relation. Please help!
    P.P.S. I just tried to add a new song to my iPod and it showed up in iTunes but when I disconnected my iPod everything was blank again. What is wrong? Can you tell I am upset? Please help!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are the songs on your computer? Do they show up in iTunes? (I am assuming they are not). Go into My Documents-->My Music-->iTunes-->iTunes Music. See if the music is there. Is it? You could also try searching your computer for a song and see if you find one or all of them.
    Also, see if you can use this to get the music back into iTunes from your iPod if the music is not on your computer...

    Once the songs are in iTunes, we need to address the chkdsk error message(s).

    Before you restore your iPod, make sure that the music is in iTunes and works/plays without your iPod conencted.
    I really don't think all the song files were deleted off of your computer. Just double check and make sure the actual files are gone.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • After ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

    after ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

    did uncheck all music and resynced afterwards. Got all my music back on the phone. Next morning, the phone had greyed out 1/3 of the songs all by itself. Seems to have something to do with syncing over wifi. No solution yet other than resyncing all my playlists one by one,
    Combined with a battery that drained 5% every 5 minute before I reset the network settings, I am not impressed with Apple's premature launch of their new os. This is what beta testing is for, folks. The iPhone should be done with the growing pains. Shame.

  • HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

    I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
    The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
    But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
    When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
    But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
    This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
    "Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
    But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
    Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
    Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

  • I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed though.

    I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed in the iTunes library.  When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
    P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out.  However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow.  When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list.  I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs.  Then I did a sync and it happened again!
    I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud.  Any thougnts?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

    My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist.  Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
    Thank you

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -
    Download past purchases
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Itunes imports cd; but they are all small files, and incomplete.  Itunes plays neither the cd nor the imported songs.  Anyone else faced this issue?

    i've had this happen when the cd is extremely dirty. usually only one or two tracks though, not a whole cd.
