1st generation seen by itunes but not playing anything.

1st gen ipod shuffle user. reinstalled itunes7 on a new machine and tried to use shuffle on new machine. ran ipod reinstall program to start over. itunes will see the ipod and im able to add items via itunes. nothing however is playing on the unit itself. wondering what step im missing. any help appreciated thanks

Does the loading process seem to be normal? Are any extraneous icons left in the Shuffle's playlist after the upload is completed? Does the light display on the Shuffle appear to be normal when you attempt to play, the same as you're used to seeing?

IPOD 1st generation recognized in iTunes but not my computer

I have a Windows XP.
When i plug in my ipod, everything seems fine, it shows up in my computer, and after a couple minutes, iTunes comes up an it shows up fine in there too. A couple minutes after that, Ipod disappears from my computer. When i try to put songs on it, itunes tells me that "the disk cannot be read or written to." It wont update the ipod either, even though itunes keeps telling me there's new updates for the ipod.
I've tried, restarting the computer, reinstalling itunes, reinstalling the ipod, reinstalling the usb port drive, and charging the ipod for hours on end etc. I'm not getting anywhere.
Can someone help me?

Somebody please respond to this! I'm having the same issues.

Songs and Other Content Do Not Play Correctly

My itunes does not play anything anymore

Itunes won't play anything anymore, wether it is in the cloud, from the store or even from my computer. It shows the song in the window but no sound and the timer does not move from 0:00

Hello KarolineSG,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like iTunes on your Mac is not playing songs at all, and the play counter is stuck at 0:00.
You can find some troubleshooting tips for this situation in the following article:
iTunes 11 for Mac: If you have trouble playing music or other audio
Most of the steps in this article can help with both iTunes 11 and 12.
All the best,

Movies in itunes but not playing on IPOD

Movies are in itunes and in the proper format. Movies play great using itunes. Movies are transferred to IPOD, but when I go to play them using the ipod, the screen freezes and the movies do not play. When I play the movies from the IPOD using the computer; everything is great. I must be doing something wrong. Please help.

I'm having the same problem with TV Shows. I've bought a standard definition season like I always have, but when I sync it to my ipod, the screen stays black and the show won't play. Any help anyone can give is welcome!

Songs will play in iTunes but not play on iPod!

This is very weird. I have 44 songs that are not working right.
A few months ago I moved my music files to one central location on my computer (aside from iTunes). I wanted to get rid of duplicates and songs I just didn't want and more importantly I wanted to make sure the names were all correct.
Oddly enough the songs in questions I did not have to change.
I synced my new iPod to my iTunes. I played a few songs and when it got to 1 of the 44 it just skipped over it. I thought this was weird so I went through artists and found the song that way, I selected it again and it wouldn't play.
I tired playing the song in iTunes - the song played.
I found it on my computer - the song played in Windows Media Player.
Before I did all of this, on my old iPod - the song played.
In fact all 44 of the songs used to play and everything was fine. (I use my old iPod for my car and my new one for jogging, but I don't want to sync my new one until I solve the problem I just don't want to risk losing the songs)
So I looked in the iTunes files - there is a file known as "Not Added" within the "Automatically Added" File. The songs in question were in that file. Which is weird because I never had this problem before...I didn't change anything about these songs.
I took one of the songs out of the "Not Added" file and I put it in the Automatically Added file and it seemed to add it. I tried syncing againbut the song would still not play.
I tried moving the song directly to the iTunes "Music" File. It made its own file with the artist and all - it hadn't been there before. So I tried syncing again but it still wouldn't play.
Yes - I have plenty of room on my iPod
Yes - I have tried restoring my iPod
No - There is not a little explanation point next to the song - The song is located and it plays in iTunes just fine.
I am at a loss. Someone please help me!
Thanks!

Select the track that is giving you a problem, then go to Advanced menu and select "Create AAC". Then try using that new AAC track on the ipod and see if it works.
I had some tracks that I had gotten onto my system from a CD. It ended up that my CD drive as on its last legs and had captured the tracks with some errors.iTunes was able to play through these errors, but my iPod was not. Having iTunes re-transcode them fixed the problem that kept them from playing on the iPod. Another solution would be to re-rip the tracks from your original CD. If you bought them on iTunes, re-download them.
The bottom line is that the tracks likely have some errors in them that iTunes can play through, but the iPod cannot.
Hope that helps,

Error message - and iTunes will not play anything at all

After scouring forums for similar issues, I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of iTunes with MacAfee firewall disabled. Nada. iTunes starts with an error message saying 'Configuration error, audio and video files may not play back correctly' (or similar). Library comes up and I can see my recent purchases, but nothing will play. Frustrating to say the least.
I am Windows 7, I have McAfee and Malwarebytes running.
What else can I try? This is extra infuriating as I have just purchased five albums of new music.

Try the white-screen topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store may be in order.

Itunes will not play anything

I open iTunes, select a song from the library, and the song will not play. No sound, no movement on the status bar.

Hi bdonahy,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you able to hear sound in other applications?
If you are having issues with iTunes for Windows, it may be best to completely uninstall iTunes and related components. See this article for information:

Calendar seen in iTunes but not in iPod

Hi - I'm trying to sync my iCal calendars to my nano, but although iTunes sees all my calendars, the nano does not. The missing calendars are ones that have been created via a programme called Curio, which creates new iCal calendars according to 'to-do' events created in it. There must be something different about these calendars but I can not see what - they look & act like any other calendar in iCal except for the failed sync to the nano.
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this or how to resolve it?
Many thanks

Indeed. Spoke to support last night and they had me do that. Still not working. I'm convinced it's just a bad download and will call them again to see if they will just let me try it again.

IPod can be seen in iTunes but not charging

I can view the iPod, sync music in Tunes but it doesn't fully charge.
Any idea what the issue might be?
Thanks in advance.

Hey Venkat,
The Delta Init is only for Initialization of the delta process, it doesnt bring any delta or data to the psa. for this you have to create ne more infopackage for Delta load and run this Infopackage then you can find the data in your psa. This is the normal mistake.
Create a dtp for this infopackage as well using delta mode.
I hope this helps, if u find more problems post me abt this.
Assign points if it helps,

Music Constantly cycling through library, but not playing anything

I have 2 windows 7 computers, and this problem occurs on both. When I play music, after skipping to the next song if one comes on I don't like playing, iTunes cycles through my entire library trying to play a song, but never actually able to. This problem lasts until the next system restart, and is getting annoying. I figured it was a problem with the RAZER Synapse software, so I disabled it, and it worked ok one time then the problem came back. Does any one else have this issue? If so, is there a solution to prevent it from happening?

Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

Itunes is not playing any music on windows 8.1

I have updates my windows to 8.1 and now itunes does not play anything.
Itunes opens fine, but when i click a song to play nothing happens. The time does not elapse and no music is played.
PLease help, i have tried updating itunes, but iit says i am up to date

I am having the same issues; the playback is spotty in that sometimes it goes, but the majority of the time (as in 95 percent of the time) it is having problems. However, it is playing movies without any difficulty--only the music is giving me trouble.

I recently upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, but now all songs purchased from iTunes will not play via my phone. Any idea how to fix this problem?

I upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, after a few initial problems and two restores, everythings seemed to be working...until I went to play some music, all music loaded to itunes via CD's played, but ALL purchased music from itunes does not play...i click on the song and the screen flashes to the image then goes back to the list of songs, so the purchased music shows up...just does not play. Can anyone help resolve this problem? Thanks!

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
