Select song, hit play button for music and only get spinning circle

Apple TV does not respond to play music. All my music shows on the screen, but when I hit button to play all I get is the spinning circle. Gave it several minutes to see if it just needed time to load but nothing. Internet connection must be ok because I can play a Netflix selection.

Hello there Shazack,
It sounds like you are trying to play your iTunes purchases on your Apple TV but it never plays. I would start by restarting your device in this manner:
Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
If that does not fix the issue, I would sign out of your Apple ID in Settings on your device, then restart one more time and sign back in.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

When I press the play button for any music it switches back to pause immediately. Jim

When I press the play button for any music or video it switches back to pause immidiately

Have you tried giving your iPad a reset? HOld down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. Sometimes when there's a glitch resetting can clear that up.

Whenever I go to preview a song in itunes, the song with play out for about 10 seconds and then stop. Why isn't the song previews working? How can I fix this? I tried updating my itunes and it didn't work.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Just updated 10.5 now has location service and others-IOS-ICLOUD etc. If I hit agree will there be charges I can't find a straight answer. Now I just use my 3 gen. IPOD touch for music and photos. Thanks to all. Tom

The ipod touch wants me to chose or decline these new features. They sound good but I don't want to get any extra charges. Now use for music and phjotos only. Don't want to decline if these are worth while. Thanks to all. Tom Toucch is 3 gen

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

Selecting songs to play

This probably has a simple answer. How do I select songs to play on iTunes? Okay I check the box. The song plays. What if I want to play 3 albums in a row? Our all my Byrds albums? I can select ALL songs. Or I can go down the list and click on each one. But that might be 68 clicks. Seems like a lot of work if I just open my puter for a few minutes and want to hear specific tunes. Oh, and clicking on the first song and holding the shift key while clicking on the last song doesn't check the boxes.That just makes them blue so I can move them to a playlist. But that too is way too much work. How do I just select a list of songs to play without clicking on each song?

Here's what I can tell you...
-- Most users find it easier to keep all of the songs in their library checked. (You can check all songs by selecting all, right or control-clicking and choose Check Selection.)
-- To play a list of songs, but them into a playlist and hit play.
-- To play all songs or albums by a certain artist, use the Browser. (iTunes > View > Show Browser).
Again these will really only work if you keep your songs checked all the time. I only have about three tracks in my library that are unchecked, and that's cause they're dupes of a song in another format for use in a video program. Some people uncheck holiday music except during the holiday season.
I'm not sure why you have your songs unchecked, but I would suggest that you reconsider the necessity of keeping your library this way. I really don't think it's necessary, and I think you'll find things work much easier with the checkmarks always there.

How can I disable itunes on my iphone 4s? I don't use it for music and need to prevent it from automatically activating when I plug in to my vehicle.

How do I disable itunes on my iphone 4s? I don't use the phone for music, and I need to prevent it from automaically playing music when I plug the phone into my vehicle. I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.

iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.

Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.
Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes.

Picking space for music and data

Just got the nano and love it. I am mainly going to use it to listen to podcasts at school and I also want to have a certain space 1-2 gigs to store my graphics files on it. My main question is can I make where if I want only half of the ipod to be used for music and half just for data so when I plug it in random music will fill the alloted space. I hope you guys know what I mean.

You need to set up a smart playlist that select the music you want on the iPod.
In the smart playlist you can also set the 'Limit to' option where you can specify the number of songs or hours or GB or MB, etc that are in the playlist.
If you set up your playlist to select the music you want and then set the "Limit to" to say 2GB you will be all set.
I have a playlist that selects all my favourite tracks (using the Rating tag, anything greater that 4 stars). that have not been played in the last 30 days.
I then have a Limit to set at 1700MB so that I can manually fill the rest of the iPod with specific albums via another playlist.

I cant fined the play button for a movie ive already rented... How do you restart a movie???

Once you rent it it will tell you when its 'ready to watch' and you can then hit play. You can also access it by going to the movies tab, and the poster image for the rented title will appear in the top left. You can also go to settings - general - itunes store - check for rentals.
Note: a 6mbps connection is required for instant HD rentals. If you are much lower it may take some time before you can watch. Accessing other content during this time or turning off the device will flush the rental, requiring a reload.

TS3274 music won't play, play button on music not running

music won't play, play button on music not running, closed all programs and restatred twice, still won't play

Here is the list of supported codac formats supported by Android and like I thought, WMA isnt listed as a supported format unless a 3rd party app was installed that WMA worked with but the native OS does not have support for the file you are tring to play...
Check out formats at http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
Update: Looks like I missed something because I found a post that reports they will work but Android site says they wont so I guess its one of those situations if they work that fine but if they dont, dont be suprised. All I can say is it would be simple enough to convert the files to MP3 and remove this restriction.

I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

How to play stereo mix music and sing in my mic at the same time?

Hi guys, need help regarding Realtek HD audio driver
I want to play stereo mix music and sing in my mic at the same time.... not for recording purposes but in chatroom let's say.
I'm using XP...Toshiba Satellite S4747 laptop
In the Realtek software under " Realtek HD audio input" I have mic and stereo mix both.... but I can only select one at a time.....
Any solutions plzzz thxxxx
On a different note.... a friend of mine whose using one non-Toshiba laptop with win XP has an older version of the Realtek audio driver and can select both mic and stereo mix at the same time... I downloaded that version into my laptop but I still can only select one at a time....

Check the audio settings in Windows and dont forget in Realtek HD audio manager. You can find it in control panel.
I think your microphone is set to mute so check this.

Play button in music doesn't respond

After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, the play button for the music doesn't respond when I tried to play or pause the music. (the buttons on the lock screen for music and the one when you scroll from the bottom of the phone)
Any suggestions on how I can solve this problem??

Willi, you're my hero of the day.
Thanks buddy.

For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

Greetings Heather,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

Single button for line and SD on cisco 7861 SIP phone

Hi All,
Good evening. Can we configure one button for DN(Line) and SD. Our requirement is we need to configure one button for incoming and SD to a particular number.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Sankar.

Hi Thomas,
The calls (inbound & outbound) would be passing through PSTN line, as it is not for internal. when ever an external customer calls complete DID number from a fixed number of their , it should hit that particular line button and for outgoing when ever we want to dial that particular PSTN number , we need to use the same button assigned to that particular external customer. So will this work?
Regards
Sankar.
