Can't play iTunes on Win-PC after iPhone backup.

Before and after backing up iPhone 4s on newer Win-8 PC,...iTunes can't "locate" my music on the PC.
iTunes playback on iPhone is normal.
How do we sync PC iTunes with files located (somewhere) on PC ?
Thank-you...

Can i play itunes radio in background?

can I play itunes radio on Ipad while working in another app or using safari?
If so How, it quits after a few seconds when i go to another app.

ITunes radio will continue in the background when using Safari or other apps that don't use sound. However, if Safari or whatever App needs sound then iRadio will be paused

If you are using the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV (little black box) then it would have no syncing or storage capability.
iTunes content would be accessed using home sharing.

I can't play iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

I like to download iTunes movies to my MacMini from iTunes store. Recently I gave up doing so because I can't play iTunes movies in 5.1 surround on my surround system. My MacMini is connected to my Marantz 6007 SR via HDMI cable. However I can get DTS or 5.1 surround sound from my system with other players such as VLC player.
How can I fix this problem as I really want to buy or rent movies from iTunes store?

Hi komansava,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Mac Mini is able to output 5.1 audio to your surround sound receiver, but iTunes purchases do not play in surround sound.
When playing iTunes purchases, first see if iTunes is set to output the movie you're playing in surround sound:
Set up iTunes to play content in surround sound
Movies you purchased or rented from the iTunes Store may have stereo audio and digital surround sound tracks. ...
In iTunes, click the Speech Bubble icon to view your audio choices, such as English (Surround). If the surround sound choice is dimmed or the icon doesn't appear, make sure you are using the appropriate hardware and that the content is encoded with digital surround sound.
You can find this information here:
Set up iTunes and your DVD Player for digital surround sound - Apple Support
Best Regards,

Hey KEBENNETT,
It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally.
I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

What do you mean by "why my debit card has been deducted"? The word "deducted" is not correctly used.

How can I play films/games etc on my iphone on my TV?

How can I play films/games etc on my iphone on my TV? What Wires/cables do I need? I understand it depends on TV but do I need cable for video and also a cable for sound??? Please help, thanking you.

You need one of the Apple AV Cables:
Composite: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB129ZA/B
Component: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB128ZA/B
Note that with this cable, you can output videos and photo slideshows, but not games, etc. - it doesn't show everything on the screen, only outputs videos and photo slideshows.

Can't play itunes purchased music after back-up restore

I recently had to restore my home folder from a back-up, because my drive failed. I authorised the computer without problem, but when I try to play the purchased music nothing happens and I mean nothing. No error message, no spinning wheel. Just nothing. When I play it through a play list it just skips to the next song. Same thing on my iPod. Now I should mention, cause I think it's important, that this is happenining with only 1 of my purchased songs. The rest are working. Normally I would just replace the defective file. Obviously this wouldn't work in this case.
So how do I go about fixing this problem or getting the file replaced?
Thanks,

Please help... I am having the same problem. I purchased 250 songs on iTunes and now can not play at least half the songs because my computer (the same one I downloaded the songs to and the only one I have owned) is not authorized. When I try to authorize the songs - nohing happens. Additionally, some other person with a similiar email account name had downloaded iTunes on to his computer, but my credit card was charged for his songs. Fortunately, he called me and reimbursed me for the songs (very nice guy).
Does iTunes have a support person we can talk to? If not this is crazy. It is tough to be a loyal customer with things like this happening. I would appreciate any thoughts on how I can remedy this situation. Thanks in advance.

Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
Thanks
Jay

+If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?

How Can I play iTunes on my HDTV without Apple TV?

I am looking for an affordable method of playing iTunes on my big screen HDTV. In other words, I just want to mirror whatever is on my iMac screen on my HDTV. So I want ALL the iTunes features like the visualizer, randomizer, etc. to work without a hitch. Some people were saying they can't get the visualizer to work smoothly. And of course I want quality audio so I can utilize the soundbar on my TV to play MP3s.
I do not own an Apple TV device but I own a Google TV device called the Vizio Co-Star.
I was not able to find a Google app to simply mirror what's on my iMac onto my TV screen.
I reseached and found that there are two apps I can purchase - AirParrot and Reflector. Is this the best way of achieving what I want to do? Do I purchase both of them on my mac or do I need to purchase one of these and install on my Vizio Co-Star?
Is there a better or simpler method? I'm up for suggestions.
Thank you!
Steve

It sounds as if you have an iMac that is over five years old, and therefore has a mini-display (instead of Thunderbolt, as found on newer iMacs) port.
Have you considered a mini-display to HDMI cable connection? Here is one (from the U.S. store):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/HFQL2VC/A/moshi-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapt er-4k?fnode=51
I am certain a Thunderbolt port would transmit audio as well as video. I think the mini-display port may transmit audio, but I'm not 100% certain.

Can't play iTunes movie rental because of QuickTime error????

Dear All,
I just rented and downloaded an HD movie from iTunes ("Despicable Me"), but can't play it, because instead I get the error message: "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
I do have QuickTime (V.10.1) as well as the latest version of iTunes (11.0.4).
How can I solve this supposed incompatibility problem?
Or can I at least get a refund or credit on the unused rental?
Thank you!!!

When I read your post, I checked my version of QuickTime, and see that it is version 10.2.
Then I noticed you are not running Mountain Lion - you are still on Lion per your post.
I don't know for sure if that's the problem, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Can't play iTune file I received by email in iTunes?

I received an iTune audio file by email but I can't play the file nor import the file into the library. If I click on the file it opens iTunes but nothing else happens. Any suggestions?

Did you bounce at 44.1kHz, 16 bit? AIFF or AAC or MP3 should be fine for iTunes, but sample rate and bit depth is important.

HT1711 I have all of my music loaded into iTunes and now I can only play iTunes songs. Can anyone tell me why?

I have all of my music loaded into iTunes but can only play the songs that I bought through iTunes. Am I doing something wrong or can I only use the iTunes player for iTunes music?

From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps!
