ITunes won't play ANY of my music!

When I select a song and press the spacebar or click the song or whatever, iTunes won't PLAY IT. The timer comes up like it's gonna play but it never starts counting. The icon to select pause comes up instead of the icon to select play in the top left corner. EVERYTHING about iTunes is working correctly up until the second that you expect the sound to come out. You know the little speaker icon next to the song? You know how it shows little lines that represent sound coming out of it when it begins playing a song? Even THAT works. It's just that the little time keeper across the top doesn't scroll across the song! My speakers work fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. I've restarted the computer and shut it down! I checked the preferences menu. I can burn CDs still. Like I said, everything in iTunes is working fine except for the fact that the songs don't play. The files are still there. HELP! THis is driving me nuts. It wasn't working in 10.4.6 and it's still not working in 10.4.7. I've done every update...NOTHING!
ibook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

I am having the exact same problem. I have updated both the system and iTunes. I have an mBox whose driver I have reinstalled (although I knew that wouldn't really make a difference to iTunes NOT playing).
I'm stumped.
Zapped PRAM.
Repaired permissions - they didn't need it.

  • Updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music, updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music

    i updated my itunes, and now it won't play any of my music. i tried deleting it and reinstalling itunes, but it still is doing the same thing: whenever i click on a song, it looks like it's going to play (and my last.fm thing starts scrobbling it) but it just doesn't play the song, ever. it sits there, with the play button played. i am so frustrated with itunes, and i have no idea how to resolve this.

  • After the update iTunes keeps crashing and won't play any of my music and keeps restarting my phone.

    Anyone else have this problem and resolved it?
    Thank you!

    Well, I hadn't rebooted after the 7.1.1 upgrade, but obviously I had to restart iTunes. After I rebooted my iBook iTunes worked... Maybe the 7.1.1 update should be marked with a must reboot?

  • My iTunes is not playing any of my music.

    When i click on a song to add it to the play list, my iTunes will jump to another song and then not play any of my music. It doesn't act like it going to play anthing at all.  I've had this issue for two updates.

  • My itunes won't recognise any of the music that is already stored on my computer or let me sync anything to my new ipod nano!! any ideas??

    I recently bought a new ipod nano and when i got it home and connected it to my computer I was told my version of i-tunes was not compatable and I had to un-install it and then download it again.  After I did this 4 times i eventually managed to get itunes to open on my computer and recognise my new ipod.  However after all that hassle my version of itunes now wont recognise any of the music that has already been downloaded onto my computers music files.  I have tried copying the music across and also using the add music to the itunes library command and nothing seems to work!  I really like the ipod but if i had known that itunes was this difficult to work i would have picked a different type of music player!  since i have bought the ipod ive heard nothing but bad things about how difficult and complicated itunes is to work so if anyone has any ideas for how i can fix this problem thatd be great! Thanks

    You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • PLEASE HELP! iTunes won't play/can't find music

    I even uninstalled itunes, trashed all prefs, etc. then reinstalled the latest version.
    still no go.

  • Itunes won't play any cd i put in the drive (macbook pro). I am running paralells with windows 7 and have disables media player so that didn't help

    itunes won't recognize/play/import any cd i put in the drive. I am also running paralells with windows 7 and have disabled media player. any suggestions?

    I have the same problem.
    On launch itunes works fine.
    If I let it play through a full album of songs unatended, when I return it respondes, but will not play music. I can browse my collection, but when i click the play button, press the space bar with a track selected or double cclick a track it will not play. A restart of iTunes solves the problem temporarily.

  • Downloaded some TV shows, but now iTunes won't play any of them

    Okay, I downloaded a couple of episodes from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. They downloaded completely, I watched them do so, but they won't play, and whenever I try to play them, iTunes says that it has encountered a problem and needs to close. I tryed checking a few of my other TV shows, which all worked perfectly fine before, but now they won't play, and have the same response. Whenever I pull up the episodes in Quicktime, the screen either remains green and soundless, or it encounters the same problem, and shuts itself down. All my songs still play though. How do I fix this? Do I have to download the new version of iTunes before I can watch them?

    i downloaded a the movie bride wars from the itunes store but when i went to watch it, it wouldn't play. now my itunes won't connect to the itunes store. what can i do. i really want to see the movie and i already paid to rent it.

  • Upgraded to Itunes 10.6 and eventhough my computer is authorized itunes won't play any of my purchased content

    I just upgraded my Itunes to 10.6. I am running  a macbook with OS 10.5.8. After upgrading I went to play some of my previously purchaed tv shows and a window came up asking my to authorize the computer to play the content which I thought was weird because the computer is already authorized. I entered my password anyway and then two windows popped up, one telling me that my computer was already authorized, and another saying my computer was NOT authorized. The controlling window seems to be the one telling me the content is not authorized, and in the window it has  a button that says open Itunes to authorize, which is again weird because Itunes is already open. After clicking th open itunes windows, waiting 5 minutes a screen comes up that says itunes could not be contacted and to make sure I have itunes 4 or greater. Again I already have itunes 10.6, then I get the grey screen where the TV show won't play.
    I only have three computers authorized with my account. Actually non of my purchased shows show up on my other computers, I deleted the SC folder multiple times, etc.
    Anyone know anything about this?

    B Noir-
    Thanks for the reply. What exactly does that command exactly do? Very strange what is going on. Like I said earlier my computer is authorized yet I am still getting the screen below when I try to open a TV show I've purchased. Itunes is already open so not sure why I am being asked to open it again. When I do click on open Itunes, I get another screen that says waiting for Itunes to authorize.... I wait like 5 minutes and then it says not able to contact Itunes and to make sure I have Itunes 4 or greater.

  • Itunes won't recognize any of my music folders! Help!?

    When I go to "File -> Add Folder To Library" And I go to my music folder, it only shows the "iTunes" folder and none of my other folders what so ever.
    This is ******* me off. Can anyone help?
    In the past, I've been able to go to files, add folder to library, select one or multiple files/folders and it would add all the music/cover art/whatever to my library.
    Now, it won't even recognize any other folders on my computer that aren't all about itunes or my ipod.
    HELP ME.
    Here's a screenshot I took of my issue:

  • My itunes won't play any songs

    My iTunes libraries display in their seemingly correct positions in File Explorer -- Music>iTunes>iTunes Music -- but not in iTunes -- and I consequently can't play them.
    Any help on "linking" my iTunes libraries and songs to iTunes would be appreciated.  I have already imported my playlists from an external hard drive, and they display with the correct names in iTunes.  I'm familiar with File>Add Folder -- I just don't know whether to choose This PC>Music, This PC>Music>iTunes, or This PC>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music -- if this is what I should do to "link" my iTunes libraries and songs to iTunes.
    Let me know, if possible, whether to check (1) Consolidate Files, (2) Reorganize Files, (2) Keep iTunes Media Folder organized, or (4) Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library.  Thanks!
    iTunes version:  ll.5.5

  • I have all of my iTunes music on an external hard drive (Glyph 3TB), all of a sudden iTunes will not play any of my music. i ran disk utility and i'm good. What else can i do??

    Greetings,
    I have a macbook pro purchased in 2009. I run the current Yosemite OS X on it, and have over 12, 000 iTunes music tunes stored on an external hard drive (Glyph 3TB). Recently iTunes does not load up on my computer. I've ran disk utility and repair, etc and it says everything is fine, however i can't seem to get iTunes to come up and play music. My questions:
    what can i do to fix this?? Is my macbook pro too old that i need to seriously consider purchasing a new one?? If i purchase a new macbook pro, can i hook up the Glyph 3TB to the new one and have it play my music without problems/?
    Thanks,
    Rich

  • ITunes won't play any webradios anymore

    And it even deletes the stream off the playlist when I try and listen to one.
    If I use VLC or Movist, it has no problem streaming the radio ie the webradio isn't down.
    Locally stored MP3s are playing fine.
    Please advise, I am running OS X 10.6.3 and iTunes 9.1.1

    let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes play properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Itunes won't play any audio. No progress when clicking "play."

    Not sure what to do. I've searched itunes and apple support, google, and now this forum for answers.
    I downloaded itunes 9.1.1 last night, and that's when this started. My speakers are working, sound is on, and works in every other program.
    I click "play" and the song title appears in the play box, but nothing else happens.
    Video in itunes is working; I checked on that. It's just very weird.
