I click to locate and it does not show up anywhere. Please help

Hi, ksfm3.
Now I have used my back up cd's and put one in, the songs show up on my library, then when i go click a song, it says song cannot be played because cannot locate it, do you want to locate now?
Can you confirm that Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library is checked in the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab?

  • I have just updated my iTunes and it won't play any of my songs. What do I do?

    I have just updated my iTunes and it won't play any of my songs, It will say that it is but the time does not move along and the sound does not play. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but it hasn't worked. What do I do?

    Hey B Noir!
    Changing the 3D worked for me!
    I am so glad that I ran across your post. I had been reading "solutions" to this problem all day, and most of them said to install/unistall/re-install itunes! No way! I knew there had to be an easier way, and you had it. Just a few clicks, and that was it.
    Thank you for your help!
    God bless.

  • Downloaded tv show from itunes and it won't play on my mac, just a black screen

    downloaded tv show from itunes and it won't play on my mac, just a black screen

    Did you burn the CD as an audio CD?
    If not, that's your problem. Otherwise, without more details I can only guess. You might try a different brand of disk, or if you're using CD-RW try CD-R.
    Regards.

  • ITunes 7.4 won't play music videos

    When I doubleclick on a music video, iTunes 7.4 won't play the video, only the music. Music videos where playing fine with prior versions of iTunes. No matter which option I choose in the Video Playback preferences, iTunes won't launch the video. Restarting iTunes didn't bring back music video playback either. Podcasts and Movies are playing just fine though.
    Any help ?
    Thanks

      I had the same problem and I landed here - OS10.7, had iTunes 10.5.2 *thinking* it was playing - acts like it was?, shows pause icon - no audio, no actual playback.  ...Scrubber dot didn't move onPlay click. (And, dam, I was hungry for music!), but..  That's where I discovered it.  Of course, I had browser audio probs, too - YouTube, Hulu - and Skype - any app output audio was affected...
       I struggled with this for at least a day!  Frustrated, I took out my other OS10 boot drives and tried troubleshooting...  No dice.  I halted CoreAudioD (whew) out of desperation...  I checked my audio lines..  Then I remembered I installed a trial of ProTools with an Avid audio driver (maybe looking for Digi-approved devices) at around the time of trouble.
         My SysPref audio panel was showing only Avid's device - no line in, no ext spkr..  So, I ran the ProTools uninstaller to try that. That's where EVERYTHING went back to absolutely normal! (After the restart).  SysPref Audio panel shows all!  I selected LineOut (for me), and I got it.
         iTunes and other audio-service-consuming apps suddenly didn't take 4 minutes to launch!, and my Lion install was like I first had it.  ProTools has a dedicated uninstaller - install that clean.  If you have a PT install that works, check the iLok config - my iLok is active and attached, but not for PT 10.  Maybe it's avid device->CoreAudio, may it's due to the PT trial???... Whatever it was, for me, the problem lied there. 
         Hope that helps any of you guys.  Good luck and thanks for the direction, bros..

  • ITunes rented movies won't play on my PC.  "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include.  So I downloaded QT but movies still won't play.  HELP

    iTunes rented movies won't play on my PC.  "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include."  So I downloaded QT 7 but movies still won't play.  HELP  Very frustrating.

    Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else!  Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
    Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
    The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
    Any ideas anyone?

  • ITunes runs but won't play music anymore

    Since upgrading to 6.0.2 audio files no longer play at all (I don't hear any audio and the diamond in the progress bar does not move) in iTunes for Windows. I'll hit the PLAY button and it changes color, acknowledging I clicked on it, but it won't play. I've uninstalled, and reinstalled but the problem remains. I followed the help article that mentions compatability mode but it was useless. Does anyone have any suggestions or have seen this before?

    Here's a link to a recent thread where lots of people had the same problem. See if any of these recommendations work:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=292137
    Just one word of caution--in another thread a previous poster said your have to install standalone Quicktime 7.0.3 instead of the current version 7.0.4. I don't know if this is true--maybe you could search the forums for more posts on this subject. Or, if someone knows for sure they can add their 2 cents.

  • Rented a movie on itunes, but it won't play or transfer, why?

    I rented a movie on itunes, but when trying to play it the computer prompts me "itunes has stopped working" and then crashes. Then when trying to transfer the rental, thinking it was possibly a computer issue, itunes then notifies me that it cannot transfer because my computer has not been authorized to play the movie. The rental movie was not only purchased and downloaded on an authorized computer, I also attempted to humor it and authorize it again, yet it remains in the same condition after several tries.
    I was attempting to transfer it to an iphone 4s, but if there is a possibility of playing it on a computer it would be prefered. My operating system is Windows 7, if that helps.

    I've seen this when downloaded to a computer/device that wasn't authorized.  Try to re-authorize in case it (or someone else) became de-authorized again.

  • ITunes 10.5 Won't Play wav Music Files

    I installed iTunes 10.5.0.142 on Windows 7 64, SP1 and I can no longer play wav music files which have been in my library from the beginning. I have a mirror Windows 7 client that has iTunes 10.4 installed and it still plays the wav music files. My iTunes library is on a Seagate BlackArmor NAS device, so both clients are accessing the same music files. The problem is that iTunes 10.5 refuses to play the wav files, but iTunes 10.4 and all previous releases of iTunes played them without issue. Could someone advise on how to solve this problem, or is this a defect with iTunes 10.5? I  downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 for Win on October 11th.
    Also, after installing iTunes 10.5, I synchronized my iTunes library on my iPhone. The wav files play fine on the iPhone, but not on my Win 7 client with iTunes 10.5.
    Thanks for your help.

    I just downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5.1.42 and all of my problems have been solved.
    All audio books now play
    All wav files play
    Tinny sound reported by others seems much improved with this update
    The updated version of iTunes launches much faster on Win 7 64bit SP1The download and update for 10.5.1.42 ran smoothly and the install/upgrade worked the first time.
    Thanks to all who helped.

  • ITunes rented movie won't play on Apple TV

    Hi
    I have rented two movies on iTunes on my Mac of which neither will play on my Apple TV. I can see the movies on Apple TV but when I navigate to watch I get an error message saying that the movie is being watched on another Apple TV or computer and I should stop this first to watch it on the Apple TV.
    I know that it's not being played anywhere else. I tried using the iPad to play the film located on the Mac and I get an error saying Cannot Open!
    I have only been able to play one movie direct on the Mac as I deleted the other by mistake but the one payed fine and has started the rental period timing.
    I tried transferring the entire film to the iPad with syncing and it still won't play.
    The only place it will play s on the Mac.
    The two rentals are Orange Film To Go films if that makes a difference.
    Please help.

    Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else!  Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!

  • I rented a movie on itunes but it won't play.  never had this problem before?

    So I rented a movie from itunes (I have done this several times and never had problems) and it downloaded but when I click play it's just a black screen and won't play.

    I've seen this when downloaded to a computer/device that wasn't authorized.  Try to re-authorize in case it (or someone else) became de-authorized again.

  • ITunes Audio CD won't play on Music Centre CD player

    I have a DVD-R/RW Drive on my computer. I have checked the Burn settings in iTunes to make sure that the music (AAC) files burnt to a CD are Audio files. I make a new playlist and put the downloaded tracks into that and give it a name. Then I put an empty CD/R in DVD-R/RW drive. Then I click on the Burn button, and the music tracks burn, successfully, onto my CD/R.
    Once burnt, I test them on my computer, and they play by default in Windows Media Player, perfectly ok.
    The problem comes though, to when I want to play them on my separate CD player, an integrated part of my music centre. When I insert the CD, the music won't play, and then the CD is automatically ejected.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Here is a copy of my Diagnostics

    Hi camoracer,
    Pleased to say that the CDR now plays on my home system too. I made a change to the Burn speed, reducing it from 'Maximum possible' in iTunes to 16x. I also took the tick out of play tracks at the same audio level.
    But thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.

  • ITunes Purchased Music Won't Play

    OK, I must be doing something wrong. I sync my iPhone and it gets all the music I had selected. But I've discovered a number of songs that won't play...and these just happen to be iTunes purchased music! My regular mp3's will play.
    Now I know the purchased songs work because they play on my Nano and Shuffle2. The purchased songs also play in iTunes.
    Any ideas?
    And a second question...I've downloaded a few TV shows which play fine in iTunes but do not play on the iPhone. Is there a "trick" to playing my purchased music and video on the iPhone?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi!
    I discovered that my purchase music and videos stopped playing when I went into a Tully's coffee shop and attempted to access their Wi-fi network. I don't know if this was the cause of me losing access to my purchase music, but this is when the problems started. When I got home today I unloaded all the music playlists off of my iphone using itunes, and then I added them back in and re-synced. This seem to do the trick. I can now listen to all of my purchased music and watch my purchased videos. Give it a try. I hope that we don't have to do this sort of thing all the time.

  • Songs in Itunes Music Folder Won't Play

    My Itunes will frequently not play songs that are clearly in the Itunes music folder and can be found. When trying to drag the song into itunes to play it will not play either. Windows Media Player and Winamp will play the songs. Basically I don't understand why it won't play the songs that are in it's folder.

    Usually, it is corrupted MP3 tag headers.
