Alarm is not playing a tune

i got my new 8900 yesterday and installed the newest available firmware, 4.6.1.85.
got to work 2h late today because my alarm was not ringing (it displays a window with the options to remind again in x min or cancel).
upgraded to 4.6.1.101 but the problem still remains.
(you can not even chose a tune for the alarm)
is there a firmware out there that has the alarm clock feature enabled?
feel free to press the like button on the right side to thank the user that helped you.
please mark posts as solved if you found a solution.

I had this problem when I got my 8900.
Fixed it by changing the default alarm tone from the Alarm Options. It should ring after that.
Also, you can set multiple alarms by going to the calendar and clicking option > New Alarm.
Hope that helps!

Song will not play in tunes

I purchased a song from itunes, but it will not play in entirety. I checked the info to ensure the end and start time is correct. There is no problem with the start and end time. I do not know what else to do.

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

Cd/mp3 player was not playing all tunes burned to disk

Got my Mojo workin'.
That's a TDK "Mojo" CD-MP3 Digital Jukebox.
Sit back and relax while I tell of my Grand Journey of Exploration. (There is a question below too.)
I had made a some iTunes playlists of MP3s, and decided to burn them on CD-R disks for my portable player. I had them all sorted by Artist and Album. The burn process seemed to go well, but when I loaded the first disk into the Mojo, it seemed to scan the entire disk and count all the tunes. It finished counting after it found all 193 titles. However, when I tried to play them, it would only play the first 26 tunes or so. (Another disk I had burned at the same time (different playlist) gave similar unsatisfactory results, something like 19 out of 186 tunes.) I knew the Mojo was not a current model, and thought maybe there was some weird file incompatibility thing going on.
I popped the disk into my son's CD/MP3 player ("Koss" brand), and it managed to find 30 or 40 of them. A bit better, but not perfect.
I tried it in my DVD player, and it was able to play all 193 tunes. In fact, it loaded and started playing quicker than I had ever seen it do before. It usually thrashes and whirs for an annoyingly long time.
The odd thing was that the Koss was able to play all 76 tunes on another disk I had burned over a year ago, on my wife's Mac, with a version of iTunes for Mac System 9.2. Unfortunately, those files were gone from her Mac so I couldn't see what the iTunes setup was. I was thinking maybe the newer version of iTunes had a bug or something.
Then I inspected the old and new disks in the Finder and noticed that the new disk had a bunch of folders with the Artists' names, and each artist folder had folders within them with Album names, and the tunes were inside those folders.
The old disk (which worked fine in the Mojo player) just had the MP3 files and no folders whatsoever. I knew I was onto something, but I couldn't figure out how to burn a folder-less MP3 disk from iTunes, as opposed to doing it manually via the Finder.
I searched Apple.com > Support > Discussions > iTunes for Mac > Importing & Burning in iTunes for Mac yet again, this time using "folders" for the search term, and up popped several threads where people wanted files organized by folders on disks:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1464192
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1791538
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=781976
... which brought me to the document "iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD", at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60931
So, I removed the columns for "Artist" and "Album" names from the playlist, and burned it, et voila! it worked just fine in my Mojo, which plays all 193 tunes. (Too bad I didn't fix the ID3 tags beforehand.)
Now, for points:
I had the playlist sorted by Artist, and here are the first four titles (of 193)
Title ____________ Artist____________
Relative Ways ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Mistakes & Regrets ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Jubilation 20 Minute Loop
Queen of Pain Alkaline Trio
Muffin57 All Natural Lemon And Lime Flavors
... etc.
Then when I remove the "Artist" column so that it only shows the Titles, it resorts like this:
Title ____________
Blacken My Thumb
Buckler
After School Thunder
Futuristic Genitalia
Once In A Lifetime (Cul De Sac)
... etc.
This is not the same as it was, nor is it alphabetical by Title.
If I click on the Title column header of course, it is ordered alphabetically by title, like this:
Title ____________
(Do Not Feed The) Oyster
(Got My) Rock Pants On
3 Away
27
68
Adventures In Conversation
After School Thunder
Algorithm Of Desire
Alive and Amplified
... etc.
Other than dragging all 193 tunes, one at a time, in order manually, how can I keep the original play order by Artist, without creating folders on the burned CD?
There is talk of "Copy to Play Order" in the iTunes Help/Support files...
To use this command, Control-click one of the songs in the playlist,
and choose "Copy to Play Order" from the shortcut menu. Tip: These
steps also apply to a playlist you have reordered directly (by clicking
on one of the column headers like Artist or Album).
... but I don't see that option when I Control-click anything. The bottom menuitem in the popup menu is "Clear". Same results with Right-clicking.
300 MHz "Blue & White" G3 Mac OS X (10.4.7) iTunes 6.0.5

Hmm. I see that the spaces have been chopped out in part of my first post, and it appears that I cannot edit it.
For clarity's sake, these are the Artists' names, in the partial listing for Ordered by Artist example in my previous post:
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
20 Minute Loop
Alkaline Trio
All Natural Lemon And Lime Flavors

TS3018 my new iphone 5 will not play selected tunes. It skips around at random for songs. I tried turning the shuffle feature on and off but no luck. It also doesn't do it on every song selected. When it does it, it seems to play the same set of songs

I have a new iphone 5 that won't play selected music. When you try and pick a particular song is skips around randomly to another song. I've tried turning the shuffle on and off with no luck.

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

System not playing sounds

The system has not playing sounds. For example, iCal has been displaying alarms, but not playing the requested sound. The above applies to all audio, not just iCal, but iCal is my most pressing need. The system regains the ability to play sounds after a restart, though that's not a useful solution.
Any suggestions?

I withdraw this question. It's in:
system preferences -> sound -> output

Computer not authorized to play a tune

I set up my account with my original email account and made several Itunes purchases.
I then changed my service provider and so changed my email address in my account and made several more Itunes purchases.
I changed my email address in my account again today.
I tried to play a tune today purchased with the original email address but I get a message 'this computer is not authorised to play this tune'. To authorise it, it is showing that I must put in a password for the original email address. I cannot remember it and if I ask it to retrieve my password, it will send an email to the original email address which no longer exists. I am stuck.
I am able to play tunes purchased under the 2nd email address.
I tried to use the 'Chat' facility on the apple support site, input my question and got a message saying a support person would be with me in 1 minute - I have had no response whatsoever which is why I am posting here.
Someone please help.

Welcome to AD!
Sounds like you have somehow gotten yourself 2 accounts, but maybe not.
Have you tried the iForgot tool?

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

You will need to locate where you itunes library is and then relink one of the songs, itunes will do the rest. So if your itunes library is on an external hard drive or something like that. When you get the error message click yes you would like to locate it. then navigate to the external hard drive where the itunes libray is and locate that particular song. Once you have linked one, itunes will ask if you would like it to locate the rest, click yes and it will find the rest of the files if they are in the same location.

Unfortunately not.

TS1424 i downloaded an album from i tunes, but it will not play back correctly,tracks stop half way through and skip to the next one. what can i do???

I downloaded an album from i tunes, but it will not play back correctly,
it starts a track and then stops randomly and jumps to the next track
and then does the same thing ad ainfinitum! What to do??

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

My ipod touch 4 stops and restarts itself while playing one tune from the Manheim Steamroller Christmas album. It will not work with Tony Bennett's Duets II. It calls each tune a different album. All other music appears to work fine. Both of the mentioned albums were loaded from CD not from Itunes. Any ideas?

Downloaded I tune to my new Computer and my downloads came up but they will not play. It says I must authorize them. What is that?

I downloaded I tunes to a new computer I bought. I signed in and my music came up. The songs will not play. It says I have to authorize them What is that? How do I get them to play?

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

RealPlayer can cause conflicts with Flash Player because it tries to assign EVERY TYPE of video or audio file to itself by default. I haven't used RealPlayer in years for that reason. It's an unnecessary program anymore. There are apps loike VLC media player that cna do EVERYTHING it does without conflicting with other apps like Flash Player.
With WIndows 8, Microsoft began embedding FlashPlayer themselves into Internet Explorer. Because of that, you cannot download and install it from here. You cannot uninstall it from Internet Explorer without removing a specific Windows Update first. And you cannot update it via this website. ONLY through Windows Update can Flash Player for Internet Explorer be updated.
That said, you probably DON'T have a virus that's causing the problems with Flash Player and Internet Explorer. Many, many websites are not "recognizing" the browser.
This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released IE11 The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player.
So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Not Playing Tunes

Hi just recently my iPod has stopped playing tunes that play fine in iTunes even when I play them from the iPod in iTunes. But will not play from the iPod it self. This are my own songs that origonally were in the AIFF format. Any ideas?
My best Joff

I have this same problem. All my AIFF music files don't play. When i play it on my ipod it just takes me to the main screen. and doesn't even bother to attempt to play it and shows that no music is playing. As well as itunes i hit the song that is an AIFF file and it just sits there. Showing the apple logo at top of the screen when there is not a song selected, which means if I select an AIFF music file there is no progress bar. But when hit the other songs it plays just fine and has the music bar and time. You can't even reload these AIFF files back into itunes. My AIFF files worked just fine When i had version 1.2 software version on this ipod, but now 1.3 has messed with these AIFF files i'm pretty sure.
The place i got my AIFF files from are from Logic pro my own created music.
