Music will not play from iTunes during a slideshow that is run from flickr. ATV says turn on homesharing...it already is on! HELP!!!!
Music will not play during a slideshow launched from Flickr. After choosing music and starting slideshow, the screen says "loading" and it never stops. Under the computers section it says, turn on home sharing in iTunes on the computer with the music library. It is on but apple tv wont recognize it. I've signed out and signed back in over and over and home sharing is on but music wont play. Is this a bug with flickr? Music will play when i launch a slideshow from the iPad but it doesnt have as many cool options for slideshows as flickr does. I want the flickr slideshow to play with music!!! Grrrrrrrr!!!!! Can anyone help???
ok, major miracle. it is now working. here is how i fixed it, and it was a stroke of luck to even find this. opened iTunes, went to edit, then to preferences. box pops up, went to the sharing icon and clicked share my local library on my local network. then scrolled down and checked all the boxes that were applicable. for the heck of it i went through all the other headings to see what else might be hiding from me. i never thought this would do anything but went to ATV, selected flickr, chose some music and wa-la....its playing. also, under the computers heading, it still does not show my iTunes library but clearly its there someplace. oh well, it works...i'm happy! your reply inspired me to keep working so thank you for that!

iTunes has recently began corrupting my Music and some of the Podcasts. An exclamation mark appears at a random selection of songs - about a thoussanad of them - and they will not play as iTunes says that it cannot locate the file. This also has happened on a number of Podcasts. Any one else encountered this?
This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, if you are running Windows (you've posted in iTunes for Windows, but your sig mentions Mac OS X...), and as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Music will not play in iTunes 10.5
Music does not play in my iTunes. iTunes freezes when I try to play any song or video clip. I have updated to iTunes 10.5.
My case was escalated to Apple Engineers or the development team. Apple Support was told that 10.5 now requires 512mb minimum memory. My computer has only 384mb of ram. I was advised to upgrade my Pentium III with its maximum memory of 384mb, and not to upgrade my iPhone 3GS to 5.0 because it's to risky of failing the upgrade. I took the risk and upgraded to 5.0. My iPhone successfully upgraded with no problems. Then over wifi updated to 5.0.1 update successfully. I waited for iTunes 10.5.1 to release (11/18/2011) then installed the 10.5.1 software update. Problem solved! Glad I waited for 10.5.1. An iTunes update has resolved similar problems before. Unfortunately the Apple iTunes developers do not always tell support all the bugs or fixes. All songs in my music library play as expected! Thank me for being such a patient, loyal and devoted iTunes user. What would I have done with my 70GB library, 70% imported, 30% purchase from iTunes!

Music will not play in iTunes store OR library. Quicktime also not working.
I am quite nearly at my wits end trying to figure out the problem I am having: I just started up a brand spanking new Mac Pro today, and aside from other problems, am unable to play songs that I migrated over from my old Power PC G5, which was running the last version of Mac OS 10.5 before it kicked the bucket; I luckily had an external drive running Time Machine backups.
The songs all show up, I checked my Library, checked permissions, ran my disk utility just to be sure, I have already gone through the authorization mambo in iTunes--I was able to sync my iPod Touch just fine, aside from a few issues with apps that I downloaded directly to my iPod not wanting to transfer over to my computer, it did tell me my new machine was authorized, of course I have two machines authorized because I was unable to deauthorize the last one before it died--but they just do not play. The play button shows, the little sound icon comes up beside the song, but no sound issues forth. Same thing seems to happen in iTunes. I attempted to play a Quicktime movie preview, also, but that did not work either, so I am wondering if there might be a connection between the two.
This too, after I migrated over everything, iTunes did not want to start up; I was prompted to reinstall it, as I was told it was corrupted or installed incorrectly. Which is weird, seeing as how I had only just started up the machine for the first time, and had nothing to do with installing iTunes in the first place. I downloaded it from the internet, and it seemed to be working fine until I attempted to play music.
If anyone can help me, I will be so very grateful. Just about next to tears, and am trying all avenues; next will be calling Apple Care and hoping for someone who can help.I am having the same problem with my iTunes. Support had me uninstall everything and reinstall iTunes again thinking it was corrupt. I did that and it worked for a couple of days. Now they say that cannot help since it is iTunes and not my iPhone and sent me here. Sometimes I can get it to work sporadically if I reboot my laptop a couple of times, but I have rebooted a few times already and nothing plays...no song previews, nothing from my library. iPods and iPhone play fine, it is isolated only to iTunes and is super frustrating. I get the same task bar up top as if it were going to play, but the play timer doesn't start. Help please!!!

please help, someone that doesn't have the savay on moving music from an old pc to a new pc. Music will not play message comes up and have to search. also purchased music from iPhone and does not show on my music library on PC. This is very frustrating. Thank you
It all depends on exactly how you move the library from one machine to the other. The database holding information about your library is normally in a folder called iTunes, with the media in a subfolder called iTunes Media. In this layout you can usually copy the entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other and it will work. If the media folder is split to a new location however then often the links to tracks will fail on a new computer.
You shoud find that the FindTracks script is able to repair the links in your library.
I'm not sure I know what is going on with the purchased music, however if you enable Edit > Preferences > Store > Automatic Downloads > Music you should be able to recover your past store purchases.

Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?
The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?
An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to. To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song. Repeat as necessary.

My ipad2 will not play my itunes videos that i just purchased; I've deleted and reloaded them twice, but still won't play; plays music only, any suggestions?
You are playing them in the Videos app correct? Music Videos will play the video in the videos app, not in the Music app.

my iphone plays pandora and youtube music but it will not play my itunes music whenever i try to hit play the button flips over to pause as normal but the music dosent work?
I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
Videos on your phone should not do this. Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings. -
Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture.
Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture. Same with the iPod. Other videos in the library play fine. Help.
Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play. -

Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. 64 gig. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..I use windows XP but don't believe this is an issue since i have read posts saying this is not the problem..right now am converting my higher bit rate music to see if that changes anything. I also turned off my unit and the next thing am going to do is a restore if this doesn't work. Anyone find a fix for this yet? I also see that this is not a unique problem to Gen 2 units and is occuring on newer units as well..thank you all for any advise...
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
