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.

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?

My 5 year old iPod classic will not play on my Yamaha CRX-332 cd receiver but my 3 year old iPhone 3g will. Any suggestions to get my iPod to read the receiver or get the receiver to read the iPod?

My 5 year old iPod classic will not play on my Yamaha CRX-332 cd receiver but my 3 year old iPhone 3g will. Any suggestions to get my iPod to read the receiver or get the receiver to read the iPod? The receiver should be able to play the iPod with a USB connection or with the iPod dock. Neither works with my iPod however both work with my iPhone 3g. The iPod has the latest software. Any thoughts?

If it is a 5-year old iPod, there is the possibility that the receiver simply won't work with the older software (there hasn't been an iPod Classic software update in years). You might try contacting Yamaha support (or doing a google search) to see if it is a known issue. One solution (probably the easiest) is to get a cable that connects a min jack (i.e., a headphone jack) to stereo cables, and just connect the iPod up that way. You eliminate the risk of corrupting the iPod, and it is a solution that should always work. Just use a wall charger to power the iPod.

Purchased Music Not Playing on iPod but on iTunes

Before I start, I have had this problem before (6 months ago) and it resolved itself through some unknown fix (with the help of a Apple Genius Bar who had no idea what worked). The purchased songs - mine and others who use my computer - play fine in iTunes, and play from the iPod on a PowerBook, and plays purchased music loaded from a PowerBook - but will NOT play purchased songs when sync'd to my Windows laptop (I know. . .). I have restored, deauthorized, reauthorized, restored on PowerBook and then again on Window laptop. . . Still NO music. As it does for everyone else, it plays burned music. . . I am stumped. I am open to anything short of incantations. It does seem to have started soon after iTunes 7 was loaded. . .

I gave up with the glitch and got another iPod. . .

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.

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.

Why will music not play on my iPhone?

None of my music is playing on iTunes from my phone. It works on my computer, but only about 4 songs will play on my phone. I have tried restarting my phone and syncing it to the computer and the music will still not work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My problem was that the voice tracks on my iTunes files AND TuneIn Radio were at extremely low volume, while the background tracks were OK. Raising the volume to max made the voice tracks barely audible, but then the rest was garbled. This was the first time I played music since upgrading to iOS 6 (iPhone 4 (CDMA)). Just to do something, I went to Settings/Music and toggled a few of the ON-OFF settings, e.g., Volume Limit, EQ, etc. When I went back to play music, all was well. IN ADDITION, the sound quality and R-L separation seem much improved. I suspect a reset would have accomplished the same.(?)
I have not seen any reports of any iOS 6 changes in audio decoding, but it seems like there are.
Anybody have a clue?

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?

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!

Music not playing in itunes 8.02, seems like a constant pauze/freeze

Hey,
so lately I've been having he problem that my itunes has stopped playing music. I'd select a song and click play and nothing happens, and browsing to a different point in the song doesn't help - it never plays and the song seems frozen.
Youtube videos and other sound works fine, and this is a new problem and I don't recall changing any options in either Itunes, Vista, or my sound system.
My vista running laptop is perfectly able to run itunes, and it was even capable of playing music before. I do not know why this problem suddenly surfaced.
Any thought ? Anyone know how to fix this problem ?

I have the exact same problem.
Music simply doesnt play, please help.

Another Ipod Problem - Purchased Music wont play

I just recently recieved my fifth repaired Ipod in a year and a halves time, and now I have another problem. I loaded all of my iTunes songs to my iPod, but all of my purchased music will not play, it just skips over them to the next song. What is going on?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Could you share this again? I have looked for answers to this issue in multiple threads and have yet to find anything that works. All the latest stuff, resync, etc. and the purchased music still won't play after some interval of time. It plays fine for a while then it just skips through the titles.
Is it a time thing or something you can set?
Thx for any insight.

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.

My music not playing with slideshow

Since updating my iPhoto to version '11 version 9.5, the music I select to play with my slideshows does not play. The canned theme music does play however.

I had problems with some 3rd party slideshow apps when I had the library on an external HD. However, I'm not sure I moved it there like I told you to do.
If you have Quicktime Pro there is a fairly easy way to add your music to the slideshow. It goes like this:
1 - export the slideshow from iPhoto without the music.
2 - if you have more than one music track to use join them together into a new file with an audio editor like Garageband, Amadeus Pro or Audacity.
3 - open your music track with QT Pro 7.
4 - Open the slideshow movie with QT Pro.
4 - in the slideshow window type Command+A (select all) and then Command+C (copy).
5 - go to the slideshow window in QT Player and select Edit->Add to Selection and Scale.
6 - save the merged item as a self contained movie.
This will add the slideshow to the music and scale the slideshows length to match the music. Don't do it the other way around as the music timing will be altered changing the speed and pitch of the music.
With this method and if you have more than one track you can overlap and fade between tracks eliminating the dead air that often results between tracks. It also will assure that the music will end with the last slide. NOTE: I add a blank, black slide at the end of my slideshows so the last slide fades to black and the music ends on the black slide.

Video and Music not playing anymore ZiiO 10"

Music and Video are not playing anymore on my ZiiO 0".
I I click on Zii video, and then click on a .avi file, the screen stays black. If I click on the back button (the physical button) the following message appears:
Sorry!
Activity ZiiVideo (in Application Ziivideo) is not responding. I can Force close or wait (but when I click wait the screen still stays black). Force close closes the application of course.
This problem also applies for ZiiMusic.
I bought the tablet yesterday. Everything was working fine, also with android 2.. After the upgrade to 2.2 Froyo, ZiiVideo/ZiiMusic was working fine as well.
After placing a few new video/mp3 files and trying to play, the problem appeared.
The only files?I deleted during the placing of the new video/music files, were the SAMPLE video/music files of Ziio.
I tried the following:
- Factory reset (Settings --> Privacy)
- Re-installing the firmware (I have the correct firmware), by going through the steps of the firmware process again (firmware succeeds)
ZiiPhoto is working as well as the Webbrowser. However, when I go to Youtube and then click on a video, ZiiVideo is again not able to play the video (Ziivideo hangs, screen stays black).
Update: Just noticed camera is not working anymore. Same error as when trying to play a Video/Music file.
Help!

Problem solved.
I copied an Album with MP3 tracks which were most likely faulty?
I deleted the MP3 Album, and now everything works.
I have copied multiple video/MP3 tracks and all play well.
By the way, do you know of which type the HDMI connector on the Ziio 0" is? Is it type D?
And which audio formats does it play? I have a few .avi files which play video ok, but no sound?

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.
