Can't play iPhone music in iTunes
I put my music on my iPhone, but when connected to iTunes, I cannot play them. I see all of the songs, but they are "grey-ed out". Anyone know how to fix this? I'd like to listen my iPhone at work.
Controlling your music using your keyboard that you already have your fingers on, and hearing other notification sounds, etc. coming out of your computer when you are listening to your music is pretty significant - if you sit in front of your computer all day.
Besides, 90% of headphones don't plug into the iPhone with that fancy recessed jack.
I understand the technical challenge of the iPhone being hot-pluggable and trying to play music of it that may not be there at any given point (or incoming call, etc), but there definitely is a good reason to request that it work. Especially if you have been using it that way for the past 4+ years.

Suddenly, as of two weeks ago, iTunes will no longer play any music. I tried reinstalling but this did not work either. I have a PC with Windows Vista. Has anyone else experienced this problem and fixed it?
Yes, I just tried playing a 10-second mp3 file I acquired from The Oatmeal and didn't once pass my external hard disk. It's a simple, monotone, high-frequency sound, but I get the same results: VLC's UI is still responsive, but its functionality freezes up, i.e. the buttons are still animated, and the menu still works, but there's no sound, the progress bar doesn't move, and the file doesn't play.

Can you re-load/sync the music library to a newly loaded/blank itunes? I am getting warned the library will be erased?
The warning is correct, take it seriously. If you have a new computer, you need to transfer the iPhone files to it from your old computer. See these links:

I can't play my music via iTunes LP
I'm thinking this has to do with iTunes match. In short.
I have a number of iTunes LP Albums. Obviously they do not load to iCloud for the iTunes Match. However the songs and video's do.
I have a new computer and I used the Home Sharing feature to transfer over the iTunes LP file itself to the new computer. Within my new iTunes the LP looks fine and launches like you would expect. However the music will not play.
Originally I thought this was because the music was still showing as in iCloud. However, I downloaded the files via the cloud and still they do not play.
An example ablum is showen in the screen. Also note that if I play the song directly from iTunes it is just fine.If you want help with iTunes for Windows, maybe you should post there for more specific help.

TS1967 Can not play any music in iTunes
I am running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and the latest version of iTunes 11.0.2 I cannot run any of my music. If I click on a song to play it nothing happens. This happens whether I'm in the iTunes store or off my own music library. Is it a compatability issue? It worked fine before I upgraded iTunes.

When I try to play a song though it just starts skipping to the next song and then the next one. Unless there was a song local on the machine it just keeps skipping to the next and to the next.
I think this may be a clue to the problem. When you purchased the MBA did you restore any of your personal data from a prior backup? In particular, did you restore any prior data in the Music folder?
Or, did you simply launch iTunes and enable iTunes Match? -

I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?
Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one. -
The volume control has disappeared from the music app on my iPhone and i can't play any music how do i fix this?
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

HT1848 how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?
how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?
The only supported method to get media onto an iDevice is via iTunes. Read the User's Guide it will describe how to do this in detail.
iCloud does not put media on the device, but using iTunes Match and iCloud it is possible to have access to all media that exists on your computer, but only when the device has Internet access. It will not load media onto the device.
Use of 3rd party tools to transfer files to the device is not supported. -

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.
