  • I can't get music to play.

    Hi. I have a problem. I can't get music to play n my new ipod topuch.  I get up to the song list, but then when I touch the song, it doesn't play.

    Hello Nicole Danielle,
    I would be concerned too if my music didn't playback in iTunes.  I found an article that specifically addresses issues with the music not playing and the playhead not progressing in iTunes.  I recommend following the steps in the following article:

  • Can't Get Music to Play in LR2 Slideshow

    I cannot get LR2 to play songs from my playlist in iTunes on my Mac.  I've read through the threads on this forum, refreshed the list on LR's slideshow section, tried repairing permissions, created new playlists in iTunes-- still no success.  Does it matter that the songs are ACC files?  (I'd think that that is correct for a Mac, but am I overlooking something?)
    Maybe my iTunes selection isn't local enough for LR2.  As an example, I have one of the selected songs under Mac HD:Users:Me:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music:Marc Shaiman:The American President:End Title.m4a.  Should it be placed elsewhere to make LR "see" the selection?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    You mean aac? No those play fine on my machine, as well as mp3 files. AFAICT it will work for any format that iTunes can play, even protected files.

    The iTunes folder should be in the default location (which yours appears to be, apart from the non-standard drive name) for Lightroom to see the playlists. But the most important thing is extremely simple. iTunes has to already be running. Lightroom as of version 2 somewhere simply sends a play command to iTunes. This allows you to play anything in your iTunes Library now, even protected files bought from the iTunes store before they went completely DRM free. Sometimes I've noticed that you need to have already played the starting song for a little in iTunes before it will work correctly.
    Now, I have to say that Lightroom's slideshow module is really quite useless. I usually just export jpegs and run a slideshow in iPhoto or Aperture. Far higher quality (Lightroom's slideshow is always quite fuzzy, no matter what kind of preview you generated), better iTunes support, and far more versatile in general.

  • Can't get music to play in a slide

    I'm working on a presentation and I want some music to play in a silde, but I can't get it to work.  I'm able to choose the file and put it into the slide -- I get the speaker icon, but it won't play the file when the slide comes up.  I've followed the directions in keynote (I think,) but nothing.  Can someone help me out?

    Select the speaker icon and then go to the Inspector>Quicktime Tab and make sure that Start movie on click is not selected. Also, check the volume contol at the bottom of the Inspector and make sure it is turned up.

  • I can't get music to play on iTunes.

    Whenever attempting to play a song on iTunes, either by double clicking on a song or by right clicking on the song and selecting the play option, it will pop up at the top in the media player, but wil sit idle at 0:00 and never play. This happens on every song I select. What can I do to fix this issue?

  • Can't get music to play on iPad air

    Yesterday I got an iPad air as an early Christmas present. Hooray! However, I put close to 3000 songs on it yesterday, and only around 200 of them will play. I'm assuming this is because 99% of my music was NOT purchased through iTunes. Is this the case? Also, are there apps I can download to use in lue of iTunes in case I can't solve this a different way?

    You should post in the ipad forum.  This is the iphone forum.

    No.

  • Can't get music to play outloud.

    Once I have taken out the headphones on my iPod touch I cannot play music through the speaker, what is wrong, I can't even change the volume . I definately have a working speaker because my alarm works.
    Also is ther a quick way to access you know playing and is it possible to be able to change music before unlocking it?
    Any other helps and tips would be appreciated .

    Which ipod touch do you have? If you have the first gen ( no volume rocker on the side), then it is because ti does not have an external speaker ( yes it will still alarm).
    You can control the ipod even when locked. The manual explains this.

  • Can't get music to play from my lap top.

    The little quation mark on my itunes library from my lap top is preventing it from playing a lot of my music. Is their a way to delete them or turn the quation marks off.

    Can you post a screen shot of these question marks?  Are do you mean exclamation marks? If so, see this article to help you locate this lost media.

  • Can't get music to play

    I bought music it shows on screen and it won't play?

    Are you sure your volume is turned all the way up? Is the phone on mute or silent. Try inserting headphones into the headphone jack and then removing them. If this doesn't work try a soft reset (Home button + power button).

  • 3rd gen ATV, music on a Seagate GoFlexHome drive.  How can I get music to play thru ATV

    Would rather not also add all the music to itunes on my MacBook Air.  The ATV easily recognized the photos stored on the GoFlexHome and those are already coming up on the ATV - no place to add the directory for the goflex folder since the ATV also does not come up as a device in iTunes.
    Am using all the most recent versions itunes and software is up to date on the ATV.

    it's a question how your itunes settings are
    in preferences ->advanced
    uncheck the copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library
    then when ever you add media to your itunes lib you just add a link and the media stay where it is

  • Help! Can't edit tags, everything is grayed out.

    Hey there.
    I've recently got a new laptop and my iTunes library is located on an external hard drive. When I try to edit a single song (via "Get Info") I cannot change anything, everything is grayed out. However, it allows me to change the information when I select multiple songs (strange).
    I thought it might be due to "read only" files, but they files are not "read only". It says I have full reading and writing permission, I can edit the tags through WinAmp, but why can't I edit tags through iTunes?
    Not all the songs are grayed out though, the songs that I've recently ripped I can edit freely in iTunes.
    I'm using the latest iTunes version 7.5 and Windows Vista.

    The the music folder on the external drive was created on another computer, it is possible that Vista does not regard it as yours and has not granted write permission.
    Here is some help on permissions in Vista:

    You need to check that your account has full control rights on your music folder.
    ANother possiblity although unlikely, is that your music files have somehow been made read only, you can check this by looking at the properties for a problem file.

    Hi. I have the Apple connector kit...and actually played Garageband via my M-Audio Oxygen 25-keyboard thru  my iPad2--without a powered hub. 
    But that was two month ago.
      Now...I can't get it to play--with volume.   I can hear the notes...but faintly.  And I have pushed ALL possible volume controls up (Keyboard & iPad). 
      I know the keyboard is triggering, because I tested it on a MacBook: got full volume, just like before.
      But just can't get full volume from the iPad2.  I got a 4-port USB hub...and tried interfacing it between the keyboard and the connector kit/iPad2.  But still no volume.  It's almost like a switch is off in the iPad???
      Any help would be appreciated.  Dan

    hello again,
    i didn't really dare to delete the blue home folders before, just in case everything went wrong, but now i think i have so little space that i can't afford to lose 2.25gb!
    one thing that slightly worries me is the fact that the 'proper' library folder (in the home icon) is 2.09gb, whereas the 'wrong' one (from the blue folder forenamesurname) is 2.24gb - this is the one i would be deleting. just seems odd to delete a larger file than the one i presume i'm using.
    "Move everything you want to keep out of the blue folders, and then place both of the folders on your desktop. If everything works properly after a few days, delete both folders. If you are asked for your administrator password at any point or if either folder is copied instead of moved when dragged, don't delete that folder."
    by 'everything you want to keep', does this include the library folder? 'cause there doesn't seem to be much else, and i'm not sure if deleting the library folder would ruin all my preferences.
    i've put both of the folders on the desktop, it didn't ask for the admin password or try to copy them, so i guess that's good news. what kind of things should i be looking out for to act differently?
    are the folders not in use now that they are on the desktop?
    also if i put them in the trash will they have no effect? i.e. the same as permanently deleting them, so i could put them in the trash as a test.
    cheers, stephen.
