Cannot play any songs (purchased or up-loaded) through itunes. I have uninstalled, re-installed, up-dated versions etc to no success. Cannot even seem to play them in Quicktime?!......PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I had this same problem as soon as I upgraded to iTunes 6 and the 1.1.1 ipod software.
I followed this procedure to resolve the problem...(requires a second computer)
1. Download latest iTunes onto clean computer
2. Download latest iPod updater onto clean computer
3. Update and then Restore iPod using clean computer (reboot in between and after)
4. Install iTunes on clean computer
5. Import a track using this new computer from your old collection of purchased music (copy one from your other computer)
6. Click on the file and authorise that computer
7. Update iPod
8. Check music plays on iPod
9. Plug iPod into other (original computer)
10. Update iPod (it should ask to resync library ... say yes)
11. Check all music now plays again.
12. Not sure why, but you may notice some missing files in your library. Add them back to the library.

I cannot watch any videos that require adobe flash player. I have tried to download their latest version but nothing happens. Any ideas? I can no longer even view my facebook videos.

I cannot view any video clips requiring adobe flash player such as my facebook videos. When I download the adobe flash player nothing happens and it continually says to download. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I am using MacBook Pro O SX. Thank you.

Just to check, in the directory /Library/Internet Plug-Ins do you see the file Flash Player.plugin?
And after reading your last post I have to ask, did you install the plugin after you downloaded it? Of course anwering my first question will answer this question.

My ipod deleted everything it had on it and cannot get any songs stored on the ipod. Itunes has trouble finding my ipod at times, but when it finds it, it won't allow any files i try to put on my ipod stay on their.

I have the ipod classic 160gb and got it just last christmas. For quite awhile, it worked fine for me, but then one day i turned it on and there was no music or videos on my ipod. Battery was charged, the ipod functions well, just no music or videos. I tried connecting to my laptop and it wasnt showing up on itunes, but it was showing up on my computer. I updated my itunes to see if that worked and it did. It seemed to work, so I started putting my songs on it and my videos, and after i would disconnect it from the computer, nothing was on my ipod, again. I did this a couple of times with no result, with resetting it to factory settings 3 times to no avail. My brother told me to try to sync it up with my computer, so I tried that and it didn't work as well. I'm stumped on what to do. Can it be replaced?

When I hover over cover flow it says I have 12851 songs but when I click nothing happens.
When I hover over artists or albums it says 'no artists/albums'.
I can upload again from my CDs but just wondering if there is anything to do. I live abroad so all my CDs are in storage.

When I load firefox it loads it twice I have uninstalled and installed again same problem

Fire Fox loads twice on when I start it up I am using Windows XP Service pack three installed

* Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
* Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

The error message says it cannot find the file but it exists as it was transferred to my ipod.
Thanks.

Ack! We don't need that much.
What you posted looks like the iTunes Library.xml file I will let you read about how iTunes works but not only is the .xml not your main library it is just the listing of tracks in your library and where the music files should be located. Your music is actually in media files (by the way, it is pointless to zip those as they are already compressed). Anyway, read these and you will see that your true library file (iTunes Library.itl) is only a small, but still important, part of a complete library.

As you can see, a library has several components, so "getting it back" depends upon what is missing, what it was you actually backed up in the end, if any of this music was purchased from the iTunes Store, etc.

I cannot sync any songs. It tells me, my computer is no longer authorized for purchased items. although it is authorized.

I cannot sync any songs. It tells me, my computer is no longer authorized for purchased items. although it is authorized.

I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!

Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone

What in the world is wrong when my purchased songs cannot be added to my iphone? It seems random because many of them were transfered/synced but now some just won't sync. But, then the error message: Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone.
I have the latest version of itunes
Macbook ios has Mavericks 10.9.5
all other items (including other music) has been syncing correctly
THEN when I try to use another method to get the music (screen shot #1) it gives me the error message below (screen shot #2):
Why in the world would anyone want to remove all existing music just to sync the music? How would I compare what is on my phone from what is on my macbook itunes to see what might be lost? How do I get it to sync?

That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.

I emptied trash with itunes in it accidentally and now can't play any songs on itunes what can i do?

so i needed to clear disk space so i could use imovie more, so i put a load of stuff in trash and emptied it, but somehow i stupidly put itunes there too, so now when on itunes i can't play any songs because it keeps asking me to "Locate" it, which i can't do because it doesn't exist anymore arrrggh! i can't use any of my songs on imovie either, it's very frustrating. If there is any way at all that i could recover the songs so i could play them on itunes then that would be great-
thanks,
Hamish

Hi,
If you don't have a back up, you have lost your music.
If you have iTunes Store purchases, you can go into iTunes Store and redownload previous purchases.

My 80GB classic won't play any songs!

I got the classic several days ago and have about 1000 songs on it and counting of which are from many different sources: albums, music purchased online from itunes, and a couple of burned cds...
Now, the problem came very gradually; at first (and i believe it first happened when I was playing an "On the Go" playlist in my car whilst driving via a Philips tape cassette mp3 converter) my iPod decided to stop playing songs after only going through about 1/5 of the playlist (maybe 6 songs) and went to the beginning mark - "0:00" of the song played just before the one it had last played before stopping. After about 24 hours of using my iPod quite often after the incident, it has now ceased to play any songs, no matter what i choose. (It sits at the "0:00" mark of the song - and videos btw - and if i try to scroll to the middle of the song or video, it sits at that mark i scroll to, but still reads "0:00".
I am really bummed out as i cannot find any helpful suggestions on this site - and i have looked most everywhere. Please, any slightest bit of knowledge bestowed upon me concerning this problem or anything similar would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Also having this problem with a few of my songs. Is there a solution?

IPod mini doesn't play ANY songs!!! Please Help

My iPod mini doesn't play any songs. It doesn't play purchased music from the iTunes Music Store, ripped CDs, or ANYTHING. On the iPod I go to play a song but the music time counter remains on 0:00. When it does this faint sounds of the song trying to start can be heard, but then a lot of static comes up. A song did start once but it stoped at 7 seconds. I've tried the 5 Rs and everything I can think of! Please Help!

Ipod Nano won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages...

My first generation Nano was initially sent back to Apple due to the battery losing it's charge to quickly. They sent me back what appears to be a replacement Nano and now this one won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages of bands, shared from friends (unprotected mp3 files) or otherwise downloaded from the internet.
Whats unusual is that any songs imported from a CD to the Nano play fine as do any songs purchased from iTunes. I know Apple has stated that any files the user wishes to play on their iPods will play as long as the format is compatible. (All of these songs in question played on the original Nano and the problems started when they said they fixed it and sent it back (although it is missing the engraving which to me indicates they gave me a refurbished Nano). My Applecare runs out in mid-October so I need to figure out what is wrong. I sent it back a second time and they told me they couldn't recreate the problem so they just updated the software and sent it back.
Someone suggested that some iPods have a part of the firmware activated (which Apple may have been testing) that prevents any non-ITunes store music or music no t off an original CD to fail to play.
When attempting to play downloaded songs from sites like Purevolume and MySpace the iPod plays for a few seconds then shuts down and restarts itself, all of these songs worked fine before Apple took it in for service.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. It`s so annoying.
I did a little bit research on this discussion board and this problem seems to be known for quite a long time. It`s confusing me Apple is not able to fix that prob or give customers quick introduction to resolve the prob.
I am currently on vacation in Florida and just bought the new iPod 30 Gig. I transfered already songs from my music cd. That worked fine.
I bought 2 music video files, synced them with no error to the iPod, but it only shows me a black screen when I want to start the video on the iPod itself. itunes plays the files with no problem.
Any ideas how to fix it??

HT5848 iTunes Radio no longer plays any songs. Just skips repeatedly.

I changed my Apple ID password and now my iTunes Radio does not work in any of my Apple devices.
I have a MacBook, iPad, and iPhone and iTunes Radio used to work great on all of them before I decided to change my password.
Now, whichever stations I choose to play, it just keeps skipping songs after songs for very long time and it doesn't try to even play a song.
In fact, it slows down my iPad Air and iPhone 5S as it continues to skips songs in the background by the way the icons' animates.
I have to close the music app from the multitasking to get it back from the slowness.
This also happens with the feature stations on the top, but it can only play the ads.
I am an iTunes Match subscriber, so I do not get ad on my regular stations.
I tried to use my Aple ID in my sister's iPad and it does the same thing. It still skips for so long without any playing any songs.
However, if I put my sister's Apple ID to my devices, iTunes Radio works fine.
I think it has to do with my Apple ID and it is frustrating that I cannot use part of the service I paid for.
I hope someone here can give an insight with what I am having trouble with. Thanks.

HI David - I actually had started another post on this same topic, and it was suggested there to 'update' all of your iTunes informatIon, although you don't really have anything,to change. This seemed to work for a short time for me, and then the skipping started again. I then had skip free radio for like a week, and then it started again yesterday. Today, I'm listening without issue. And yes, I use Cox too. I messaged them on FB, to which they sent me an article on an App Store outage that happened a few weeks ago, as well as a link to Apple on how to turn off the shake feature so to skip a song. I told them neither of those applied to my issue, and they told me to call Customer Serice and I just didn't have time for that. So I just let it come and go, but I'm convinced it's more of an ISP/Cox issue.
