Airplay: Next song plays in iTunes but not thru tv or stereo?

So I have an AppleTV2 connected via HDMI to my Sony KDL-46S5100 HDTV.
While playing music to the ATV2 via Airtunes I will hit play and the song will start, but then it is a toss-up if the next song will play audibly or not. It will display on the TV that the song has begun and is playing, and it will display as playing in iTunes, but no audio will actually be heard. Sometimes the song after will play fine, but not usually. It seems totally random.
Furthermore, 99.9% of the time if I click the back arrow in iTunes to begin the song again it will play normally, but then do the same thing on the next song.
Any help?

Just had the exact problem, but with an Airport Extreme station.
Go in the wireless settings of your airport extreme. Then Radio Channel, select channel 9 instead of "automatic".
Maybe you'll have to try a few channels in your area, but the thing is that you must not be in "automatic" mode.
It works instantly, everytime !

ITunes purchased song plays in iTunes but not on iPod

I have purchased several songs from the music store. One of the songs will play in iTunes but not on my iPod. I've removed the song several times from the iPod and resynced with iTunes, but the song still cuts out in the middle of the song. What should I do?

If it's just a problem with that song, I would contact the customer service who may authorize another download.

Downloaded songs play in iTunes but not on iPod classic

I recently bought albums from Amazon.com thru the Cloud player and they show up in and play in iTunes without a problem but they don't even show up on my iPod. This is the first time I've tried this...for the purpose of not buying physical copies of CDs anymore (I don't have room for them).
Please don't tell me I wasted my money on these downloads! I tried going to "Advanced" - Create iPod or iPhone Version but it was grayed out and wouldn't let me. I tried Create MP3 Version but all that did was make duplicates in my iTunes that still won't show up on my iPod.
I have a good size iPod (160 GB). Where do I find what version of iTunes I have? I'm pretty sure I've downloded updates before. Where do I find out what version I currently have...in fact, what is the newest version? Somebody please help!!
Thank you,
ChiaSpud

Version information: Help > About iTunes.
Tracks from Amazon should play on your iPod just fine. Two possibilities come to mind, either your sync settings are such that these tracks haven't been automatically included or manually dragged into of the playlists your device syncs with, or it is a case of Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist.

Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

hi
like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
should i do it one by one ?
thanks.

it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

My songs appear in itunes but not on my ipod

About 10 of my songs that have been on my ipod for quite sometime stopped showing up on my ipod. the songs are on itunes and play through itunes but no matter how many times I update my ipod the songs won't show up on my ipod. But if i put the songs in a playlist they then appear on my ipod only in the playlist not in the regular music/artist files. I have even tried to delete the songs and put them back n and it still doesn't work. If someone could help that would be great I am getting very frustrated!

Perhaps it is time to try performing a RESTORE on your iPod and see if that clears it up.

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,

Song plays in iTunes, but file does not show in Finder

Bizarre issue. My 26,000+ song iTunes Library lives on an external LaCie drive. All the songs play fine in iTunes (and I can hear the drive spin up when I go to play them). However, for a few thousand of the songs, the song's file is not in the physical location where iTunes shows it to be.
An example is below... these are two song file locations from the 'Master Tune Library.xml' exported from iTunes. Both of these files
show in iTunes, and they both play just fine from iTunes (no exclamation mark next to the song names). Yet only the first file (one ending in 1219.mp3)
is at that location. The one ending in 1249.mp3 does not show in that location, either via Finder, or via Terminal.
From Terminal I get no results from "find /Volumes/LaCie500 -name espace_20101103_1249.mp3" (without the dbl quotes) But if I run the same command for the 1219 file, it does find it in the expected location. Really stumped as from where iTunes is playing ...1249.mp3.
/Volumes/LaCie500/myTunes/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album/espace_20101103_1219.mp3
/Volumes/LaCie500/myTunes/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album/espace_20101103_1249.mp3
Mac Mini
Mac OS X 10.5.8
iTunes 10.5
iTunes Media folder location is /Volumes/LaCie500/myTunes Both options underneath for "organize" and "copy files ... when adding to Library" are checked.
Thanks!

Try using EasyFind utility to reveal the files.
Are you absolutely positive those files exist? You have verified with iTune's summary view thatthe files is what you think it is?
Show In Finder will usually not only open the directory but also leave the actual file highlighted.

MP3 plays in iTunes but not iPhone

I have the iPhone 3G running 2.0.2 software. I have a bunch of .mp3 files that I loaded into iTunes and then sync'd with my iPhone. There is one mp3 that plays just fine in iTunes but will not play on my iPhone. When I select the song on the iPhone, the artwork shows up for a second but then it just skips to whatever the next song is. I tried deleting the song from iTunes and re-sync'ing my iPhone and verifying the song was no longer there, then re-adding the song back to iTunes and re-sync'ing my iPhone but it still just skips the song. There is nothing special about the mp3, it's 5.4mb, 128kbps, 44.100kHz, -9.8dB, MPEG-1 Layer 3. Any ideas?

Thank you for your reply. Converting to AAC worked but why out of 653 mp3's, I ended up finding 13 different files that wouldn't play on iPhone until converted? Very odd. Does that "Consolidate Library" option in iTunes convert everything to AAC? I'm wondering if I should go ahead and do all my files. I'm wondering what the advantages/disadvantages are?

Music plays in iTunes, but not on iPod

Bought an iPod Classic 120GB recently. Roughly half of my music will play on the iPod, but all of it plays on my PC. I have resynced multiple times and actually traded it in through the Apple store thinking that might be a quick fix. Still the problem persists. For example, some songs on an album will play, while others will be skipped. All are encoded the same way, V0. When I convert into another bitrate, the problem goes away, but I'm not going to be doing that to my entire music library. The iPod classic does advertise being able to play variable bitrate encoding, so I'm wondering if there is any fix for this problem.

Usually unchecking the song(s) in iTUnes, updating the ipod, then checking the songs and updating the ipod again will fix the problem.
If not restoring it with the latest ipod updater (06-28-2006) should fix it. Restoring wipes the ipod clean and then you use iTUnes to load it back up with your music

Purchased music plays in iTunes but not Apple applications

My issue is not as dire as most here but still....
Recently, my purchased music became unavailable to
all Apple applications (iPhoto, iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Quicktime, etc) except
iTunes. If I try to play one, "This computer is not authorized to play this
song" message appears. Never did before. After following the
"open iTunes to reauthorize this computer" instruction it reports
authorization was successful. However, the songs are still unavailable
to Apple apps. and the "not authorized" message keeps popping up.
And they all play fine in iTunes. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Song "plays" in iTunes but only a moment of sound via Airtunes

I am using iTunes 8.0.2. I am using the airport express as airtunes v. 6.3. When I select my airtunes speakers in iTunes and play the song, I get a split second of audio and then complete silence. iTunes continues to play the song (you can see the tracker moving and the time ticking down. However, there is no more audio. My firewall is configured to allows iTunes. I never had this problem until recently. I have not changed any settings on my router.
Thanks for your help!

I have exactly the same problem for some time now. (since upgrading to iTunes 8). Installed all latest updates, have my airport exchanged, tried all things with firewall, ip v6 settings etc. but still no results.
Using a ping command (via terminal) to my airport I can see that the ping goes up from normal to thousands of milliseconds thus indicating network congestion of some kind.
Rollback to a previous version of iTunes is not an option because I also use it to sync my iPhone.
Any help is appreciated.

Audio file will play on iTunes but not on my Nano

I have an important audio file (in WAVE Audio File format) that plays fine on my iTunes, but won't play on my Nano. It's odd -- the file downloaded to the Nano and appears in a playlist, but when I go to play it, the Nano advances immediately to the next song. Do I need to convert the file into some other format in order for it to be playable by the Nano? (FYI, the audio file is 17.4 MB, if that matters).
Help!
--Andrea

Only uncompressed WAV files are iPod compatible as this article explains.

ITunes purchase plays in iTunes but not iPod nano

I apologize if this question has been answered and I was unable to find it in a couple of minutes of searching this site and the iTunes help.
I recently bought a 2GB iPod nano. Initially I just used it to listen to MP3s I already had, but recently I bought a song from the iTunes store. I can listen to the song using iTunes / my computer. I can put it in a playlist and sync that playlist with my nano. I can "see" the song on the nano playlist, but when the nano goes to play the song it hesitates for a moment and then goes to the next song.
I have the latest iTunes, the latest iPod software, and I have done a restore to the nano and the nano still won't play the song.
I'm guessing the fix is real obvious, and I simply can't figure it out. Can someone point me in the proper direction?
Thanks!

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

Track from iTMS plays in itunes, but not on iPod

Five minutes ago, I purchased a track from the iTunes Music Store (Sunspot, by Moby). I downloaded the file, and it plays without a hitch in iTunes.
When I sync my iPod, though, I find the track is not playable on the iPod. I can find and select it in the interface. When I try to play it, though, it immediately takes me back to the main "iPod" menu. On one or two play attempts, it briefly flashed the cover art on the display of the iPod Video, but it then took me back to the "iPod" menu.
I am able to play other tracks on the iPod. I've purchased dozens of tracks and I've never seen this before. Any advice?

You can try this - It seems to help some people that are having weird authorization issues:
Make sure you delete the old one off of your iPod.
Copy the file from the iTunes music folder to your desktop.
Then click on it and it will play in iTunes.
Now add this new one back to your iPod.
If that doesn't work, you can email iTunes Support using the form at the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
Let them know what's happening & they may be able to give you a new copy or refund you.
