3G - 2.0.2 update - downloaded music not playing?

Has anyone else had this problem?
We updated both of our 3G's last night, and after the update on the second one when you go into the ipod, then play a song, not a single tune comes through the speakers. Same if you plug in headphones. The song's look like they're playing on the screen, but you can't hear anything...the first 3G is fine.
Help?

I've had the same exact problem. Yesterday (Wed afternoon), I went from one dowloaded song to another, and I got nothing. Just silence. Thought it was my speakers until I checked them and they were fine. And by accident, I noticed that the music I took off of CD's I own and loaded into my computer play.
I just can't get any music that I bought from iTunes to play, period. The cover art comes up, get an indication that it's "playing," but no sound whatsoever. I went home last night and synced again with iTunes and still I can't hear any of the songs I downloaded.
I got the phone last Sat and I'm going to a retail store on Sat for a workshop, so I figure worst comes to worst an Apple employee helps me out on this.
But I hate only having 6-8 songs to listen to.

ITunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
Thanks for the help.

Try running these songs through MP3 Validator to see if there any issues.
If nothing else, convert them to another format such as AAC via iTunes using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Music Not Played Recently

In an effort to make the iPhone truly randomly shuffle music (I hear the same tracks multiple times per day even though I have shuffle turned on) I created a "Smart" Playlist called "Music Not Played Recently".
This supposedly Smart Playlist contains only one rule as follows:
"Last Played is not in the last 14 days"
There are about 1200 tracks on my iPhone but I still hear the same tracks multiple times per day so this playlist does not work. (I thought perhaps I had a few duplicate tracks but no there is only one version of each track on the iPhone and in my collection)
In iTunes the playlist seems to work fine and I can see tracks drop out of the list as they are played.
Question is:
Do Smart Playlists such as the above work on the iPhone?
If not, why not?
If so, what am I doing wrong that it works in iTunes but not on the iPhone?

anyone?

I have a iTunes account and recently 2 of the song I have downloaded will not play, it says that it not authorised to play. How ever on the same day the other songs I downloaded that day are playing fine

Hello Jigz19,
It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:
Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
Open iTunes
Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
Choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab.
The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
If so, then delete the songs:

TS1389 I purchased a song on iTunes that is now appearing twice on my library; the first download only plays 37 seconds of the song, the second download will not play & prompts me to authorize the computer to allow it to play. Suggestions?

Music not playing in iTunes after iOS5/Itunes 10.5 updates.

Hi,
I recently updated both my iTunes to 10.5 and iPod touch 4g to iOS 5. I updated on my laptop (which i am on now, and have the issue with). The laptop is running 10.6.8, and has no music on the hard drive. I plug my iPod into the laptop to use the lap top speakers and play the music through itunes. I have never had a problem since updating. Now half of my music is not playing from the computer, however it plays fine directly from the iPod speakers. When I updated I erased all music on the iPod and started over. Any ideas on what the problem is here?

Refer to this article:

IPhone 4 - Music not playing after iOS5 Update

There's the solution. Apparently a bug in the beta and public releases.

Purchased videos and music not playing on ipod

i purchased some music and videos, while using my wifes powerbook g4, loaded them onto my ipod (which i had setup using my pc) now i see the music and videos and when i try playing them the music shows up then goes to the next song. the videos just go to a black screen.
now i have loaded my cd's onto my wifes powerbook and have been able to play them on my ipod no problem. just the purchased music/videos from itunes, is not playing
what did i do wrong.

Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

Music not playing smoothly in iTunes

I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version and ever since then my music has been jerking and not playing smoothly. I've checked my computer's performance while iTunes and other applications have been open and all seems normal. I've run the setup file again and chosen "Repair", but nothing has changed.
Any help would be appreciated.

This version of iTunes 12.1:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.

Music not playing back correctly

For some reason, Itunes began playing back incorrectly. The music is fine but the vocals sound like they are in a hole. Not sure why. Did this before and I do not recall how I got it back to playing normal. Help plz!

Every since the iOS 5 update, my music does not play correctly on my iPhone 4. I have tried all the fixes I have found, except to delete all my music from iTunes as well as my iPhone, and reimporting it all...are they kidding? I have thousands of songs from various sources, so that is not going to happen. When I heard about iOS 5.1, I hoped it would correct the issue, which it did, for about an hour or so. I will just cease to use my multitasking smart phone to play music and revert to my oldschool music player. I pause in wondering whether or not I should hold my breath on Apple coming to the rescue for its dedicated users. Oh yeah, some of the songs that do not play correctly or at all were purchased from iTunes on my iPhone 4, so this issue is not just related to songs imported from CDs.

Help! Music not "playing" in Itunes

So I updated to the newest version of iTunes (7.3.2) today and upgraded my iPhone to 1.1.1.
Now, any music in my iTunes library will not play. The top of the screen shows the song title and artists name/album, and the run time...but nothing happens. I hit play...nothing. I try clicking randomly along the track...nothing. My volume is up (I can load up Youtube and listen with no issues. As many times as I hit Play/Pause, it never moves. My Apple TV works fine as does my iPhone. Anyone know why?

Searched and found the answer...for those curious...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1178079&tstart=0
Finally, someone figured it out!
Basically,
Start Menu>Control Panel>(at this point, I just typed "Quicktime" into the search menu)QuickTime, then click the Audio tab and in that tab, the "Select Audio Playback and Recording Devices" button. A small window popped up and said some sort of driver enhancement was causing problems, would I like to stop it? Click Yes.
Try iTunes again--mine finally works now!

After the last firefox updates I can not play videos in the browser. I have updated the plug-ins all to no avail

I have tried running the videos on the BBC website and they time out after 20 sec. with the message "The content doesn't seem to be working. Try again later" all plugins are up to date, and the cookies are not barred
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after last update

Videos from all three sites play fine for me (except the ones from tfl.fr that are only available if you are in France), so something is not quite right with your system. However bear in mind that some of them take a while to load.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001 (and for Tiger only, 2009-002 and 003). (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
You should also install Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly, repair permissions and restart your Mac.

Iphoto 08 slideshow music not playing

After making a slideshow with iphoto I mixed some songs together using garageband, then exported the mixed songs to iTunes.
But when I choose that track in iTunes for my slideshow it doesn't play. I've tried a bunch of other songs they won't play either. I have done this before using iphoto 06 and didn't have any problems. But now with 08 I can't seem to get any music to play with my slideshow.
Which means no exporting to iDVD, no burning to a disk, no showing off to my friends.
Can anybody tell me what my problem is??

soulmanbdr529:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to get non-Garageband mixed playlists to work in iPhoto's slideshows? If so then there's something GB is doing to the joined tracks that iPhoto doesn't like. For that you'd probably get more informed responses in the Garageband forums.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
