Updated from xp to windows 7 and iTunes won't play music

I have recently updated my computer from windows XP to windows 7, and I backed everything up on a flashdrive. I reinstalled all of my documents from the flashdrive using Window's easy transfer. I then downloaded the new iTunes. After it was done transfering the songs and I went to play a song, it would not play. I then closed iTunes and re-opened it, when a sign pops up that reads "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly." I don't understand what is going on because iTunes has every song I had from when I had windows XP but it won't play them. If you know how to fix this or what is going on I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

If you mean computers that are authorised (iOS devices aren't authorised/deauthorised) then you can't see a list of which computers are authorised, you can only see how many : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

  • Why is Lion so slow?  Everything takes 2-3X as long as before and iTunes won't play most of my movies.

    Got Lion.  Now, opening a movie with Quicktime takes 10 seconds, opening ANY application takes twice as long as before, and iTunes won't play most of my movies that used to play in previous versions of iTunes.  I'm frustrated.  Even the web is markedly slower with pages taking 5-6 seconds to load up (and they are simple pages sans videos).
    What gives?  Any solutions?  Anyone having similar issues?
    The ONLY thing that took less time was Disk Utility...it ran in 4 minutes when it used to take 7--8 minutes.

    Lion is much more demanding on memory.  It is almost unusable on my computers that have 2 gig of memory. On the macbook air I am typing this from, it is using 1.5 Gig of memory out of 2 gig. Anything like playing a movie is going to be quite compromised.  SL used about 400 MB for normal low-demand operations.  The memory is soldered on in this laptop, so I am screwed, but it is fairly cheap and easy to add memory to most others.  OWC is a good place to look.  Max it out.  I think your iMac can take 6 GB.

  • ITunes won't play music videos.

    iTunes won't play music videos.

    Hey guys, here's my problem.
    I had some major issues with OSX last week that a trip to the Apple Store couldn't fix. Their only advice was to save all my pictures, music, documents, etc. and reformat. I did that yesterday. I reinstalled everything and then downloaded all the most recent updates.
    Today, I can play all the music I own in iTunes (music imported from CDs, bought from other sites, and music bought from iTunes itself). However, it won't play any of the music videos I have (all bought off iTunes).
    I have authorized the computer again and again. When I try to open the videos in Quicktime it tells me that I don't have permission to play them and that I need to authorize the computer.
    I'm lost. Any help?

    Yup, this Audio but no Video WAS exactly the same trouble I was having, on my MacBook and iMac but not the other 2 MacBooks. This was due to the speaker settings at the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes window. I do use multiple speakers via Airtunes, on the two that were having trouble but not the other two, and although the speakers were only set to the computer it still wouldn't play the video content.
    Whilst the audio (of the music video) was playing I then went to reselect multiple speakers, which brought up the "*failure to connect to remote speakers network refused connection*" warning, then I unchecked the remote speakers to leave just the "Computer" and hey presto the video came to life.
    Thank you Charles C n Miami and hope this extra info helps.

  • When I want to play music out loud the volume bar disappears and it won't play music or any sound. This sometimes happens with head phones in aswell. How do I fix it? I have tried to reset settings and wipe all the data of it but it didn't work.help!

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • All of a sudden, my iTunes won't play music.

    All of a sudden my iTunes won't play anything in the store or my library. Updates are done and my windows computer is authorized. It has worked fine in the past and then all of a sudden, I click play and nothing plays. I can play music and video in other programs except itunes. Volume is up also. It won't play at all. Any suggestions???

    I would suggest first,
    looking for the files (not in iTunes but on the desktop. If you find the files they've simply been removed from iTunes. - If you can't find the files they've been erased and there's not a lot that can be done.
    Removing files from and iPod is another question. Firstly, it IS difficult, but it can be done. There are numerous tutorials on the web on how to do it.
    Regards,
    Peter.

  • Please help! Itunes won't play music!

    I think it had to do with some things that I uninstalled yesterday. There was some java updates that were taking up some space so I got rid of them. I got up this morning and tried to play some music and it won't play! Everything else works but he music won't play. It says that it's playing but the timer stays at 0:00. Can anyone help me?

    I wish I could help you, but I have the same problem. My daughter got her ipod wet/sweaty during a run and now it will not play songs it previously played just fine.
    Everything seems to work but the counter stays at "0" and songs won't play. I restored it, reloaded it and the same problem.\
    ANYONE?

  • Quicktime and iTunes won't play anything, require computer restart.

    Since installing Lion and the latest iTunes, I cannot consistently play songs or videos in iTunes (or Quicktime, for that matter). I hit the play button and it changes to a pause button, but the file doesn't progress past 0:00. I try pausing and restarting the song (or movie) and it doesn't play. This occurs both with songs on my computer and in previews from the iTunes Store. Restarting my iMac seems to fix it, but the problem returns after a period of use. Quitting and restarting iTunes does not fix the problem.
    It seems that I need to reinstall Quicktime and/or iTunes (not sure how), but I'm open to other suggestions. Any help would be appreciated.

    jmaybee,
    You need to go get a program called Pacifist 3.2.2 (it's shareware but you can use it for free - I cannot say enough of how great this program is, it has saved my skin more times than I can count)
    http://www.charlessoft.com
    Then get the Snow Leopard disk that came with your system and put it in the optical drive and let it mount.
    Using Pacifist, use the "Open Apple Install Discs" button, select the Snow Leopard disk and let it read the package installers. This may take some time, as it's got to read the DVD and pull up all the installer .pkg files..
    When Pacifist is done, you'll see something that looks like this:
    http://home.comcast.net/~foodandart/MacForums/PacifistSnowLeopardQT.jpg
    Dig down into the installer packages thusly:
    Contents of OSInstall.mpkg
       Contents of EssentialSystemSoftware
          Contents of EssentialSystemSoftwareGroup 
             Contents of Essentials.pkg
                Applications
                   QuickTime Player.app
    Select the QuickTime player to highlight it, then you just hit the large arrow at the upper left corner of the Pacifist window (sorry for my black Snow Leopard scheme making things hard to see) and it will ask you if you are certain and also to backup files (why? they're gone already!) and it will install the QuickTime Player to the default location in your Applications folder.
    I *just* tried this with my own system and tossed my original copy of QTX on the Desktop and the new install works perfect.
    There you go..
    Regards,
    Deb.

  • ITunes won't play music anymore from iTunes Match

    In February I purchased the iTunes Match service and uploaded about 2000 songs to it.  Some purchased directly from iTunes over the years and some ripped from my CD collections.   After verifying that it works fine, I deleted the ~250GB of space that they took on my older MacBook Pro to make space for other things.
    A couple of weeks ago I got my new MacBook Pro Retina (great!) and I've started to use iTunes on it.  I've added it to my Apple ID account and "authorized" it inside iTunes and expected to continue and use it to listen to music and all.
    I was able to see all my music listed clearly and also all my genious mixes but nothing happens with I try to Play anything.   No message and no complaint, simply silence.   If I purchase and download a new song, I can play it, but nothing from the cloud!
    I tried to "Update iTunes Match" and still nothing happens and I can't play a thing.  
    I tried to "Turn Off iTunes Match" and then turned it back on.  The entire list disappeared on me and after a long wait, I don't see it coming back... I'm out of the country right now and I see this small note at the bottom of the Music section of iTunes saying that "Music is available in the iTunes Store in select countries".    I'm using the US store and can certainly purchase music and movieds but the iTunes Match stopped working on me.

    Well, after another restart of iTunes, my list of 2000 songs magically appeared and I can now play it.
    So, this seemed to be a glitch that amended itself.

  • I changed my email address and iTunes won't play anymore

    I switch from AOL to MSN and now my iTunes songs won't play even though I updated all my info with iTunes. I have authorized and re-authorized over and over but still all the songs purchased using my "now deactivated" AOL email account won't play. I checked the song files and there still there on my hard drive (shows 2-4MB for each song)but when I click to play them I get a pop up telling me to authorize so I do, then I get a pop up that say's that I was sucessful and I have used 1 out of 5 computers, but when I click the play button again I get the same results, NOTHING play's. iTunes support just keeps telling me the same thing over and over "DE-authorize and Re-authorize but that does nothing other then telling me I was sucessful even though it's not working. PLease Help I have over 200 iTunes songs that won't play......

    Thanks but I've Been There Done That, and when I do use the old AOL sign on the iTunes sign in screen it pops up THIS AOL ACCOUNT IS NO LONGER ACTIVE, so then I chose to update with an apple account, and then everything appears to work until I click on the song again to play it, then nothing but a pop up starting me from the begining asking me to sign in with the AOL account again. So then I enter my new apple info and the screen pop up say's I have been sucessful in authorizing 1 out of 5 computers so at this time I would think the songs would play but they don't. I should mention I have 2 iTunes accounts 1 that had a verizon email address(1 ver & 1 AOL), and I did this same process for that account and those songs and videos play. I'm starting to believe this is an Apple/AOL clich when you switch email accounts to another provider other then AOL and transfer to an Apple account.

  • ITunes won't play music/ videos on Windows 8 Pro

  • ITunes won't play music on iPad after update to iOS5.

    iTunes still appears to be present on the iPad following the load of iOS5, and music tracks are displayed, but it won't play any of the tracks. Has anyone successfully resolved this problem?
    Why is there no way of directly contacting Apple to inform them that their software doesn't work, without buying service from them? I would have thought that this is the sort of thing they would want to know PDQ.
    Looking at the other questions, there are a large number of errors caused by uploading this new release.

    My wife did find a partial solution. She deleted all music tracks, and reloaded, but without converting to .aac format. The iPad will now play music.
    Hope that helps.

  • Itunes won't play music - exclamation points by all songs - need help!!

    I have been on this board several times and still can't locate the answer to allow me to play my music in Itunes. Here is my situation. If you can help, I would appreciate it.
    I have had my Itunes library stored on my external hard drive. I hadn't accessed Itunes in a while and when I did, my music is no longer being recognized by the program. All I get is the exclamation point next to each song and when I click on the song I am asked to relocate the song itself. Since getting the exclamation point no matter what I do short of relocating every song individually (over 4000 songs), I decided to call "apple cares". I had no success with them as they couldn't help.
    I have now unistalled/reinstalled my Itunes twice, I have redirected my preferences to my external drive and consolidated my library several times, I have tried to use my older less updated library on my regular hard drive only to have the same exclamation points appear.
    I am at a loss as to what I need to do. I really don't want to lose my music - imported from cds or purchased - nor do I want to spend the rest of 2007 relocating each and every song.
    If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate help. You can email me directly at [email protected]
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Debra

    Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
    I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
    Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.

  • IPod won't open in iTunes, won't play music

    K so a few days ago, for no apparent reason, I kept getting a message from windows saying it had to scan and fix the ipod (which is managed manually on itunes 10). fixing wouldnt seem to do anything, but if I clicked continue the ipod still worked fine. I could put music on it, it would play etc.
    then yesterday, I plugged it in to the computer, and itunes would just become unresponsive. when I pulled out the ipod, itunes would work again. the ipod would play, but i wouldnt be able to add music to it. i tried restarting everything i could think of, to no effect.
    soooo then today, windows prompted me to fix again. so it "fixed" the ipod, and magically the ipod would open in itunes. so I added some music to it and went on my merry way. but now the ipod itself doesnt work. when I highlight "music" the side of the screen says "no music". when I look in the about section, there is 113 gigs of "other" files, which should be music. when I plug back into itunes it doesn't work at all.

    Same exact problem here and I have found no clues yet.

  • Ipod Touch - turn off slider appears on startup and ipod won't play music

    Hoping someone can shed some light on my problem.
    The two problems I have are:
    1) the red Turn Off slider appears immediately on turning the iPod on
    2) when the play button is hit, it automatically pauses immediately.
    The problems in detail:
    I have a 2nd generation iPod touch that was working fine until I updated to 3.1.2 firmware. It worked fine for a few hours and then the touch screen began behaving weirdly. First, it wouldn't allow me to slide the unlock slider across the screen, and then when it finally would let me, it basically accessed random apps and moved randomly between the app home screens. All of this was jerky and erratic and it looked as if my iPod had gone schizo!
    I took the iPod to a Genius at the Apple Store, but when I arrived the problem had fixed itself (at least, the random accessing of apps etc), but I noticed that on startup, the red turn off slider would appear immediately. After canceling the slider, I went to play some music. Immediately after hitting play, the ipod paused. Repeated attempts yielded the same results. It won't let me press play or listen to any music, regardless of whether it was iTunes purchased, an audiobook, podcast or whatever. You hit the play button, it turns into a pause button for a split second and then reverts back.
    I have tried restoring the iPod a number of times on my computer and other macs (I'm running 10.5.8 OS X and iTunes 9). I have also done a couple of option+restores, having downloaded previous firmware versions (3.0 first, then 2.2.1). Both attempts left me with an error message (20). I am going spare about this and would really appreciate any advice!
    There is one thing that worries me. I have been told by the Genius I spoke with that the moisture indicator inside the headphone jack shows that it has been exposed to water. Would this result in the above described problems? Everything else seems to work fine. I have even managed to get YouTube back after fiddling with the date settings (i.e. setting the date to 2030 and then back). I want to either restore my iPod to a previous firmware version that worked or make the update that I paid for work the way it should!
    I appreciate any suggestions!

    this happened to me. I figgered that after you play apps like games which r side ways causes this for example nba live lite it caused the problem to me same when the slider stays in one spot i see that apps cause this problem. i just figgered it out cause it happens allways after certian game apps or other app. To fix this test all the apps and see and delete the ones which cause this but not all apps which r side ways cause it. I hope this helps
