Can no longer play music from iTunes on Apple TV

I used to be able to choose in iTunes where I wanted to play music - my computer or Apple TV. There was a drop down menu in the bottom right corner of iTunes. I no longer have this option. Is this no longer possible?

Still possible.
You need to ensure AppleTV has the Airtunes function enabled in it's settings:
Settings>Airtunes>Airtunes - On

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well

iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

As of today I can no longer delete music from iTunes.

Hello friends!
I can't seem to delete music from iTunes 10.(whatever the latest version is) or on my iPhone4. I just want to change what I have on my iPhone, but then I realized that it may be an issue with iTunes after I tried to delete something there.
I only know of two ways to delete music. One is to select/ highlight want I want to delete and select the delete funtion in the edit part of the bar. The other is to do the Command D shortcut. Neither of these work as of today. Yesterday it did indeed work for I changed some stuff before work.
I am nothing of a techy sort. Here is some info, but it may be invalid.
*I have an eMac running Leopard.
*iTunes 10.4 (I think) last update a few days ago.
*iPhone 4...updated today with the new updates.
*I have my music saved on an external harddrive. I have the folder set up to put my library there.
*Edit/ Delete doesn't work, neither does Command D.
This is the only issue I've ever had. Any suggestions?

It could be an issue with permissions on your system.
I would suggest beginning your troubleshooting by running Disk Utility (In the applications--> utilities folder), and choosing "Repair Permissions".
You should also check to see if the music has a little exclamation mark next to the song -- that means it isn't able to find your music, and you'll want to doubleclick the song to make sure it plays okay.
Secondly I would suggest you run Disk Utility again and this time you run it on your external drive and select "Repair Disk". That will check your external drive for problems.
My guess is that your iTunes Music Library file inside your User folder--> Music folder is damaged.. but see where you get with the Disk utility repairs first and let us know!

On both my iPad and iPhone 5 I can no longer play music from my synched iTunes selections from my Mac mini because when I select a playlist it will only play afew songs and then quit the playlist, skipping around a lot.

What is wrong?

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple does not respond to posts here. You can give Apple your feedback on the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
They don't respond directly there, either. And once you post something here, people will comment as they see fit, regardless of what you originally hoped for. That's just the way it is with a public forum.
Try Groove for iPad. People seem to think it's a great replacement to the previous music app.

Since updating my OS I can no longer play anything from iTunes on my mac.

I've updated to Yosemite but now nothing will play on my mac in iTunes. Other videos, music etc seem to be fine but nothing in my library will play.

It's OK. I've managed to cure that problem, only to now encounter another one. Can't get my mac to recognise my iPod now. :-/

Updated to iTunes 7 and can no longer play music off my iPod through iTunes

The title says it all. I can no longer play music from my iPod through iTunes now that I have upgraded. When I click on my iPod there is a little black lock beside where it shows the disk usage.
anyone have any ideas. I like some of the new features of this version of iTunes but it really seems to be a few steps backwards.

That little lock usually indicates that the iPod is set to autosync. In order to play iPod content through iTunes, you have to be on manual sync.

I have been trying to upload more music to my iphone 3gs but whenever i try to even click on the artist or name buttons in itune they dont get highlighted or anything all i can do is play music from my phone through itunes ...

Success!! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apple support really did come through and I am successfully back into my account. Ready to purchase more music. I followed the instructions, with patience I thought I lost, submitted my problem, someone emailed me back within two days and all is now perfect. Thanks again Apple.
To all the frustrated users out there, don't lose hope!!!

ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,
Matt M.

I can no longer drag music from my computer into iTunes.

I updated iTunes to the most recent download and installed the newest update on my iPhone 4. Now I can no longer drag music from my PC into iTunes. Not even into a new playlist. None of my settings changed. Please help.

Try
- Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, that may not work and you will have to wait for an iPod or iTunes update.

I have a 25" 2.8 GHz Intel core 2 Duo working on OS X 10.8.4, within past 2 days we've had the black screen and the white screen, we are up and kicking again but I can leave the computer playing music from iTunes, but within 10 minutes the screen is back.

I can't get rid of the black screen unless I force quit the computer, then it starts ok. Then the process starts all over again.

Iphoto '11 slideshow does not play music from iTunes

I cannot get iPhoto Slideshow to play music from iTunes. I read one suggestion to go to iTunes > File > Library > Organize Library > and select REORGANIZE library. When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE.
Any suggestions on what I can do?

When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE.
Then your iTunes library is already organized according to the latest format. See this document on the organisation of the iTunes Library :
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3847
Sometimes the database files inside your iTunes Library can get corrupted.
Try to rebuild the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" as described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25468
I'm not sure if "Consolidate" can help in this situation - it will move all songs into your iTunes Library, so that they can be easier found, but not recreate the datbase files.

One weird thing: the drive never mounts on the desktop, the only way I can see it is to click on the TC in 'shared devices' in finder sidebar.
That's normal. A network drive won't mount by itself. You may want to add the drive to your login items and/or the login items of your boy's account.
He came over to update his iPod tonight. Now the library is inaccessible. It says that his account is not authorized for the folder.
Is that a USB drive? How have you defined access to that drive in AirPort Utility? If you set it to "Secure Shared Disks" "With accounts", you'll have to add his account.

After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
This listed below will fix it...
Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
You're very welcome! Have a great day!
Sincerely,
The Superhero

Need assistance with recent upgrade. I installed 6.1.2 and now my iPad is sluggish and will not play music from iTunes.

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.
