Itunes wont play old music correctly? HELP!

I just updated to version 8 of iTunes and now it's not playing my old music. I read that it won't play imported mp3s now since apple uses mp4s now. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not - I haven't read much on this topic, so I assume everyone else's is working fine. I download most of my music on Frostwire, and had music on here before I upgraded which worked fine. Now it's playing a choppy, distorted version, which almost sounds like it's playing too fast? All of my purchased music from the iTunes Store works fine - it's just these that won't play correctly. I tried Troubleshooting and using the Support FAQs and stuff. I updated my audio driver, directx, quicktime, everything I could find - and it still won't work. My music otherwise plays fine on my comp - just not on iTunes. HELP!

I'm having the same problem. I found the help article "iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly" and did everything the article said. It still plays my old songs fast. Does anyone know how to fix this???

Now it plays on my home computer where the Itunes is syncd at, however it just wont play on my work laptop. I run Xp. Heres the thing... it recognizes my ipod, brings up my 'name' for it, shows all the songs and all the movies. It just wont let me play any of them. It wont let me select any to move into playlists. Its like Im looking at a pdf or something. Help!

    nevermind. Lock it up. Figured it out. I had to put Manually Manage Music on in order to play anything or create playlists. It got turned off when I installed the new version

  • My  itunes wont play any music!?!?!?!

    ok my itunes was working fine then the next day I could not play any music ... I could the day before. (not down loaded from the "music store") off a cd! I tried reinstalling I tunes (newest one) and tried one step down from newest.. both didn't work!! I don't know whats going on?!?!?
    Please help!!

    Dan,
    You didn't upgrade iTunes. It was just working and then it stopped working?
    When you say it won't play, what happens when you double click on a song in iTunes? Does the little progress bar move at the top middle of the iTunes window? Does the Play button change to a Pause button? Does the play time change?
    If you create a second user on your machine, can that user play music in iTunes?

  • Itunes wont play imported music

    Hi,
    itunes on my Mac will not play my imported music. It was running fine untill I upgraded to 10.5.3 can anyone help please?
    When I try to play this message appears
    The song “  ” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? when I press yes it cant be found.
    Also some music will play that has been imported but the name of the song and the music dont match???
    Thanks

    Correct. iTunes for Windows can convert non-DRMed WMA files, but that feature isn't included in the Mac version. You may be able to find a thrid party tool to do the conversion.

    After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
    I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
    Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
    Using Windows 7.
    Any help please?

    From the top of the page where the scripts live...
    The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
    You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
    Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
    Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
    If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.

    This is typically indicative of an issue with the installation of QuickTime on your computer. The following article provides steps for reinstalling QuickTime to resolve the issue.

    Resolution
    QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
    On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.

  • HT1711 ITUNES WONT PLAY ANYTHING ***????

    ITUNES WONT PLAY ANYTHING ***??????? HELP MUSIC WITHDRAWAL ARE I

    Hello choefer_fish,
    It sounds like you have some video files in iTunes that do not play when you select them in the program, but do play when you double click the files themselves. I would start by checking to see that iTunes is accessing the correct iTunes library by checking the Advanced tab of its preferences:
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes shows the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    From: Where are my iTunes files located?
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    If the location here matches the location you go to when you double click the files, then I would next use the Consilidate Library command to see if that gets iTunes to see it:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Itunes wont play anything, windows 7

    itunes wont play anything.i hit play and it goes to pause but does not count down.im guessing it is because of the update that i did to itunes.please help.

    I am having the same problem and that didn't fix it.
    I purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the install file. When I double click the icon nothing happens.
    I Downloaded the install cleanup utility and ran that (nothing with itunes in it).
    I Downgraded the UAC to the lowest security setting.
    I re-downloaded the install file and tried again.
    I deleted all the temp files in the user file folder.
    I made the install file compatible with Windows Vista (SP 2).
    Still nothing. I double click (or right click and run as administrator) and nothing happens.

  • I torrented new songs but itunes wont play them how do i make them work?

    i torrented new music and itunes wont play them saying the files cannot be found the files are still on the computer and i can find them just find but itunes cant. how do i make itunes recognize, find and play my new music?

    I don't think it's your iPod. I reckon it's something to do with the tracks themselves. I've been searching through similar posts and have tried the following suggestions (without any luck):
    - swap you iPod cable to another USB port and re-sync
    - whilst the iPod is connected, deauthorise your computer in iTunes and then authorise it
    - re-created my iTunes library (as your iPod can only sync with one library, it will wipe clean your iPod and re-sync it) - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
    - have even restored my iPod
    and still the 3 tracks will not play. However, I have subsequently downloaded another track (different album and artist) and that plays just fine. I have since contacted customer services about this and they have been very quick to respond, but unfortunately the re-download solution they proposed hasn't worked either so they have escalated the problem internally.
    One thing I have tried (and I think it's legit??), is to burn the tracks to a CD. Remove the originals from your iTunes library to another folder. Re-import the tracks back into iTunes and re-sync. I've tried this and the tracks will now play on my iPod. I believe the above process strips off the DRM, so maybe the problem lies with the DRM encoding and your iPod believes you don't have permission to play the tracks when in fact you do. If you don't feel comfortable about doing this, I would contact customer services.
