ITunes will not play music videos through airplay

This is a specific user account issue.  If I create a new account I do not have this issue.  That being said I really want to solve this for my existing user login.
Music Videos (and tagged as such) play in iTunes fine. 
If I select my AppleTV (which is listed as an airplay device).  It completely ignores the selection and continues to play on my Mac.  I am unable to play Music Videos over airplay.
When playing music I am able to select any airplay device and it works fine.
When playing movies I am able to select any airplay video device and it works fine.
If I change the Music Video tag to Movies it plays fine
If I change it to Home Videos it plays fine. 
If I try to launch iTunes in safe mode it fails to play at all because of the lack of Quicktime support.
Obviously it's something in my ~/Library that is messing it up somehow.  
The only plugin I have is AudioScrobbler.bundle and removing launching iTunes does not solve it. 
I've tried recreating all of my iTunes preference files and that doesn't solve the issue. 
It's maddening! 
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

I have narrowed it down to the ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.(incredibly long hash).
Removing this file causes a new one to be regenerated and that solved nothing.
Removing the ~/Library/iTunes directory and the ByHost preferences file and rebooting did work temporarily.
There was only one plugin (AudioScrobbler.bundle) in the iTunes directory.
I was able to play a music video and select the AppleTV and then broadcast to it.  This lasted last then a few hours and now it's back to the way it was before.  Select the AppleTV is silently ignored. 
Highly frustrating.  I have a broke and fixed version of the com.apple.iTunes ByHOST preference file but doing a diff of the two is useless as most of the xml entries are long strings of hash values.  No human discernable difference between the working and not working files.  At this point I defintely want to file a bug report.

  • ITunes will not play music, songs stuck at 0:00

    I know this is a frequent question as I've spent three hours searching through the support discussions here as well as elsewhere online, but none of the possible solutions I found posted worked for me.
    The problem, if you're unfamiliar with it, is that iTunes will not play any music (either songs I've ripped or songs I've bought off of the iTunes Store).
    I've tried updating iTunes and Quicktime, uninstalling and then reinstalling both, updating my audio drivers, playing with the preferences of both iTunes and Quicktime, made both programs the defaults for all associated file types, and rebooted countless times.
    I'm on a 3-month old Dell Inspiron running Windows 7 if that makes a difference.
    Any new suggestions anyone has or something random you may have tried that solved a similar problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks! 

    I'm afraid the problem is more widespread than just iTunes and the update didn't fix it. There's a thread out there about users not getting any sound/audio in Lion after wake from sleep or just having it idle for a long while.
    Hopefully, Mac OS X 10.7.2 will fix the issue.
    Thanks!

  • ITunes will not play downloaded videos

    The music videos I have downloaded from the iTunes store will not play anymore. What happens is, when I click on the fire to play or open up iTunes and try to play it iTunes just quits on me. The music i have downloaded from iTunes works it is just the videos. Even when I try to play them with Quicktime, this will also just quits on me too.
    Thanks for your time

    I just tried to preview a video in the iTunes music store and iTunes just quite on me. So all the videos I bought do not play in iTunes nor Quicktime. And I can not preview video on the store I do not know if this would help, but I have iTunes 6.0.3

  • Itunes will not play music or other media files suddenly.

    Itunes will be playing a file, usually an audio file, then suddenly it will stop playing mid track. When I tell it to continue using the shortcuts, or the controls, or window bar it says it playing but no volume is produced and the track does not actually play as marked in the status bar.  No error is reported or crashing. Any suggestions? Only remedy is closing itunes and opeing the application again. Mild annoyance but it shouldn't be happening. Macbook Pro on Mavericks  and latest version of itunes

  • Itunes will not play music, I am running windows 7 64 bit

    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in

  • HELP! iTunes will not play music...

    I recently had my hard drive replaced in my HP DV7 notebook.  Im running windows vista (NOT by choice!!)
    My laptop arrived with nothing installed. fortunatly I had backed up my iTunes library on my external HD. I reinstalled iTunes and all of a sudden a heap of music was dumped into my iTunes library
    When I went to sync my iPhone 4 and my iPad1, the iTunes library was trying to override the music that was already on my iPad and iPhone.  For some reason the music on my iPhone and iPad is different to that in my library, which I dont understand. 
    I have tried to bring the music from the iTunes backup over but nothing is working....
    Also, none of my music in iTunes will play
    I have googled and done everything I can find and nothing is working..... My music will also not play in windows media player either...
    So my questions are:  HOW can i get my iTunes library to be exactly as my iPhone and iPad are?
    And
    How do I fix my music so it will all play again?
    I have turned off automatic updates and only do manual backups of the iPhone and iPad now as well as transfering my purchases manually but I am worried that when my iPhone is replaced next week, when I try to sync my new one, I may loose everything from my original iPhone backup (last backed up today)
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    I could not update my windows drivers because my computer does not have Internet Exploder - I use firefox - and when I did finally find a place to access the different browser items, internet explorer would not download.
    As for the drivers, according to the website, my drivers are way too out of date to update (they're from when I first purchased my computer back in 2003).
    As for how I updated iTunes, apple update on my computer started automatically downloading it when i had itunes open the last time.
    As long as I don't go to open itunes, music will play in musicmatch and realplayer and even through my DVD.
    What it says is (and this is the last time it opened) it said something like: "iTunes is unable to open because the sound and audio drivers are missing". The other message that i got was along the lines of "iTunes will be unable to play because the sound and audio drivers are missing/damaged." and then it will open and you go to double click on a song and it doesn't even start playing.
    I apologize if the message is not recognizable, but I had to unplug my computer and move it back home so it's been traveling this weekend and I cannot plug it in.

    please help! everything has been working great until I finally responded to the upgrade prompt itunes is always giving and upgraded to the 7.2 version. now, the itunes program will not allow me to play any of the songs that were in the library before the upgrade. they are all marked with an exclamation point in the first column, and when i click on them they say itunes cannot find the file...when i search for the files, I find a "previous itunes" folder but cannot retrieve the music. afraid to connect ipod to computer, for fear of wiping all of those songs off the ipod. have over 400 songs...would like to be able to retrieve them. already authorized computer. what should I do?

    Dave, you are a god among mere mortal men!
    I had used the check to only load certain tracks on my iPod mini that my kids use, while loading everything on my iPod 60GB.
    I guess I should come up with a different method for that.
    Thank you for clueing me in on how the checkmark works.
    I'm a happy man once again.

  • ITunes will not play my videos

    I have upgraded to iTunes 11, tried all the Quicktime edits and still get crashes and problems playing any videos unless I am in safe mode.
    I cannot see any installed plug ins in the folder so I am baffled and fed up. Anyone have any bright ideas on how to fix this?
    Cheers

    I have the same issue, however I end up having to go thru a CTL-Alt-DEL and end other programs as well. You would think apple would have figured this out by now. I have decided to not use them for movie purchases as all other movies that I add from my pc to itunes play only theirs do not

  • ITunes will not play music on Windows

    I haven't listened to my music on the PC in a while, and today I tried. None of my songs will play. The little diamond doesn't even move, so it's not the volume. I did what the iTunes support site suggested: checked to see that the compatibility box was deselected in Windows; it was already deselected, so that must not be the problem. I can't seem to get any more help off of this website. Any suggestions???? Or, how do I get someone from Apple to help me?
    Thanks!

  • ITunes will not play music HELP !!!!

    i tunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration audio/video playback may not operate properly.......HELP???????

    If you click play does it just flash and go back to the play button? That happens to me sometimes, just quit and turn back on.
    Make sure itunes is updated first off.
    Are you using a laptop? Try plugging in some headphones, you may have blown your speakers. If your using speakers. try another program with sound to test.
    Did you recently add some music from not so reliable sources?
    There would be a chance one of the files is corrupt. Happened to me. Just delete them.

  • HT1349 My iPad will not play music or videos in iTunes or my music app what do I need to do to fix this?

    My iPad will not play music or videos in iTunes or my music app what do I need to do to fix this?

    Music plays in the Music app - not iTunes. Videos play in the Videos App - not in the Music App. Is that what you are doing? If you are using the correct apps for the appropriate content - quit the apps and restart.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it???  I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

  • Itunes will not play my music nor videos

    I recently updated to itunes about a week ago..and for some odd reason my itunes will not play any music that is located in the itunes music library.. I un-installed it, then re-installed it..and it still did not play the music.. I believe it has affected my windows media player on my computer as well. I was wondering if anyone had any information or a solution to my problem??
    thanks

    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

  • After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes will not play video

    I recently updated to Windows 8.1 but since i have my iTunes will not play video i previously downloaded from the iTunes store. The video will play in QuickTime without issue though, please help

    sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it  keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
    i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem...   make any sense?  do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution?  i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.
