Airtunes won't play Quicktime files from iTunes?

Last night I made a playlist that had MP3's, Quicktime files, AIFF files, and AAC files. I then set iTunes to play on Multiple speakers, so it would play on my computer speakers and my stero via Airtunes. All of the songs played fine through my computer speakers but the Airtunes refused to play the QT files. When a QT song came on, the stereo went silent, it would then play again when a non QT file came on. Anybody else have this problem?

  • IPod won't play purchased music from iTunes Store

    My iPod won't play purchased songs from the iTunes Store. They play on my computer, using iTunes, through the iPod, but my iPod won't play the songs with headphones, or in my BOSE speaker station, nor in my car using my Belker radio adapter. I've purchased a few songs before, and haven't had this problem. I wasn't prompted, as I have been before, to enter in a password before playing the songs.

    i have the same problem, and i looks like there are another 4 or 5 discussion threads with the same prob. my ipod is about 14months old, got one of the first 4th generations when they came out -- have never had a problem, then when i downloaded itunes 6, all of a sudden everything i have purchased since then plays fine on my computer and just keeps scrolling thru and not playing on my ipod. very very frustrating. i have tried everything, right down to a complete restore on it, and nothing helps. also, when i downloaded itunes6, my purchased music playlist disapeared -- i spent 2 weeks and 5 emails going back and forth with tech support because they wouldn't address the issue, and am wary of going to them with this one. i thought the drive or memory on the ipod was corrupted and was going to buy another one, but now i'm not so sure -- is anyone having this issue with a 5th generation? because what it looks like is itunes 6 downloads may not be compatible with 4th G, and that makes me a little cranky. any one find a solution for this yet?

  • Nano won't play purchased music from iTunes 6!

    Is there anyone else that is having problems playing purchased music from iTunes 6 on your iPod? My 4GB iPod nano is not playing (i.e. skipping over) songs that I have purchased AFTER I upgraded to iTunes 6. My iPod software is up-to-date and I tried resetting the iPod, but neither helped. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.
    -Ben Powell

    From what I've read, resetting your nano erases the music, etc. from your nano, putting the software back to its original state.
    This really has to s*ck, but if it works, its good that you can fix it that way. It does, however, make a great real life case for backing up your music.
    I've been using software (no I don't work for them) called e-backup for my email. I have receipts and other email from 2002! But, the point: it allows you to backup other folders/files. I included my music as an option yesterday because I remember losing term papers, etc. that I didn't backup to floppy or disk. Just in case!

  • Fifth Generation iPod won't play anything purchased from iTunes!

    My 30GB iPod video will not play anything that I have purchased from iTunes.
    I just got it last week and this is really frustrating.
    I got "Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth" and the album "Liquid Swords" by Genius/GZA. The video and all the songs play fine in iTunes but my iPod skips through the songs not playing anything and when I try to play the video it goes black like it's going to start playing but then it just goes back to the menu.
    I have looked through the support page and have tried de-authorizing and reauthorizing my computer, updating my iPod (it was up-to-date), restoring my iPod, removing the files from my iPod and putting them back on, re-installing iPod updater, running repair on iTunes, recreating your iTunes library, resetting my iPod, and even tried using a different USB port. All of which produced the same results as before.
    If anybody could help me out here it would be greatly appreciated. I can’t believe it is this difficult to get files from iTunes to an iPod, aren’t these supposed to go hand-in-hand?!?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First set of steps (These are general instructions. You may have tried some)...
    Try playing the song in iTunes for a few seconds, then sync the iPod. Does it work?
    Also, in iTunes go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the song. Type in your iTunes account information and password. Play a few song you have purchased for a few seconds each.
    Sync the iPod. Do they work?
    Also, make sure everything is up to date...

  • IPod won't play purchased music from iTunes

    I cannot figure out why my iPod mini skips over purchased music from iTunes. I looked at the files and they are .mp4 & there is a little lock symbol on the file. Someone help! I have already dowloaded the latest updates and nothing has changed...

    I have the same problem as others mentioned here. I just updated my mini to 1.4, and iTunes to 6.0. Just purchased an album and went to play it and all the songs were just skipped over by my mini. Then checked and the same happens for all purchased music.
    I then check in iTunes and everything plays fine there. Then uploaded the songs to my 40GB and everything plays fine on the 40GB. I recently updated the 40GB to the latest firmware as well.
    The mini plays all other music just fine.

  • My Ipod won't play bought songs from Itunes

    I have a new ipod nano, and it plays songs that I upoad to iTunes from CD, but not ones I buy from the itunes store, they come up and my ipod skips right over them. the only difference I can find between bought songs and songs I upload from CD's is the extension on the bought songs is 'm4p' and the ones from CD's is 'm4a'.
    the songs play on itunes, but not my nano, which is confusing cuz I thought iTunes was made for ipods?

    See this: iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
    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.

  • External hard drive won't accept certain files from Itunes

    I hooked up a Lacie External Hard drive, I am dragging songs from my Itunes onto my lacie external hard drive. I'm doing this for backup and storage purposes. Everything was going well until The external hard drive started to randomly not "see" some files. I would drag the file over the folder I had created on the Ex. hard Drive, and it recognizes it, but when I release the mouse button to drop it in the folder...It doesn't "land" in the folder. Is it a problem with my mac or the external hard drive? Is there a setting I don't know about?

    some of the music from iTunes are protected files (.m4p), especially if they are ones you bought from Apple Music Store, there is in my experience DRM that basically says they cant be copied to other locations like to a CDR or external HD. Apple's way to protecting against music piracy.
    A while back I decided to move my collection to my external and its worked great ever since.
    thats the way I do it for my machine.
    I have a 40GB external Fw400 HD with my mp3 collection on it.
    I set up iTunes to see that drive as its home spot.

  • Playing quicktime files from 1998

    I have a CD with some Quicktime files on that appear to have been created in 1998. Quicktime tries to play them but I can only get sound and no picture. Any suggestions about how I can play them fully?
    I'm using Quicktime 7.4.1.

  • MPD won't play AAC files from Streamripper

    I'm having some problems playing AAC files created by streamripper.  The files play just fine in Mplayer. This is the output I get in .mpd/log:
    faad: error decoding AAC stream: Invalid number of channels
    After googling I got the impression this might be a DRM issue.  I'm ripping a service I'm paying for (I only like about 80% of the music so I want to be able to skip tracks), so this seemed likely. On #mpd I was informed that mplayer wouldn't have played these files if they were DRM protected, so I've abandoned this line of investigation.
    If I try to run one of these files through faad I get:
    Error: Bitstream value not allowed by specification
    Is this fixable?

    It seems you just need to rebuild your mdp package, because mpd supports AAC via ffmpeg but  new ffmpeg libs released yesteraday and you still have mpd built for old ffmpeg's libs.
    Use ABS for this and if all will be ok then report bug.
    I have the same problem from yesterday but with the moc  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31743
    Doesn't the log message indicate that MPD uses faad to decode AAC file and not ffmpeg? A new version of MPD came right out after your post; it did not solve my problem.  For now I'm manually converting the files from AAC to ogg in order to play them, using the latest version of ffmpeg.

  • 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.

  • IPod Won't Play Certain Songs From iTunes

    I just downloaded some songs from iTunes. I can play them on my computer, but when I try to play them on my iPod it just automatically goes to the next song and will not play it. I have never had this happen before. Any ideas?

    Same here. I have an iPod Photo with the latest firmware installed (1.2). I can no longer play any music on my iPod that I've purchased from the iTunes Music Store since upgrading to iTunes 6. Songs purchased prior to upgrading iTunes work fine on my iPod. All songs play fine on my computer.
    The two workarounds that I know of are to restore your ipod to factory settings, which I'm not willing to do just yet since it will erase everything on it.
    The other workaround is to burn your purchased music to a CD and reimport it. Then move the reimpoted songs to your iPod. That has worked for me so far.
    I'm hoping Apple will release some sort of software/firmware upgrade to either iTunes or iPod that resolves this problem.

  • Apple TV won't play movie downloaded from iTunes

    I have an Apple TV (1st gen) and recently I have downloaded a couple movies and tv show from itunes on my desktop.  I went to play them on my Apple TV and it load the movie and says "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this".  I never had an issue before and it plays music just fine but not Movies and Shows. 
    Also another issue recently my Apple TV is losing connection from iTunes.  I goto my iTunes and it shows the Apple TV but isn't streaming.  Some times if I get iTunes and restart it fixes the issue.  Other times I have to unplug my Apple TV and reboot it.  This usually happens any time I let my Apple TV sit idle for more than a few hours or so. 
    Any Ideas?

    I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV.  So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
    Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine. 
    So it seemed to work.  I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

  • Apple TV won't play my movies from iTunes

    I just purchased my Apple TV and I can't movies I bought on iTunes. I can see my purchased tv shows but the only movies available are rentals. Any ideas on how I can find my purchased movies?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't redownload movies as you can TV shows, you'll need to play them via your iTunes library on your computer using homesharing.

  • QuickTime Player won't play movie bought from iTunes Store.

    Finder's Quick Look says that QT Player can play it. QT Player says to first authorize through iTunes. iTunes says that it's already authorized.
    I've seen the same problem in various places all over the net but it just started happening to me with 10.8.3. Never had a problem in 10.8.2 or earlier. Any ideas on how to fix?
