Cannot play music through Itunes on work computer

This has worked in the past but for some reason today it isn't working. I have Itunes on my home PC and that is what I sync my Ipod to. I also have it at work just so I can listen to my music through my laptop. When I hook it up to my laptop it flashes the Do not disconnect message forever, doesnt go away. I can eject the Ipod and listen to it fine through the Ipod but I cannot get it to play songs on the laptop. They all show up but are greyed out and I cannot click on them to play. The Ipod shows up in Itunes, says nothing about Updating Ipod like it normally does when it is updating. Any idea how to fix this?

Yep! At the bottom of the iTunes window there's a button with an iPod icon on it. Press it and it'll being you to the iPod preferences window. Select the manual update option and select ok (to the pop-up window and to exit the preferences window). The songs won't be greyed out anymore, just remember to set it back to automatic update when you go home. Hope that helps.

  • Cannot play music from iTunes on my computer

    Hi, I looked through all your infos and posts, and none of the recommendations solved my problem. When I click a song, the little phono symbol is activated, but it does not play the song. The same is true if I click a song and then hit the play button on the top - no music is played. What is wrong here?
    tx for help. Manuel

    Hi Phil,
    This is what exactly happens: I open iTunes, go into my Playlist and click on a song once to highlight it. Then I hit the play button on the top and the play symbol becomes a pause symbol. Nothing happens though. Only when I double click (not on teh play button, but directly on the song), does the song start to hypothetically play and the two sound bars appear - but still no sound and the song does not start to play at the top either (with the time indication)...
    Thanks for enlightenment!
    best, Manuel

    Unfortunately the Netgear DG834N router is rubbish with Macbook Pro's. I've had a few netgear routers, which were all good with my mac, which is why I bought the 'N' series one as an upgrade to the 'G' version, but basically it crashes my Mac constantly. I get the fade up grey screen forcing my to hard power off my book. everything freezes. It plain just doesn't work. wireless 'N' is still just in draft form and the difference between the Netgear and Mac version on the macbook pro just clash. Netgear haven't updated the firmware on the router since last year, so hopefully the will soon, but I've just gone back to my old 'G' version, and stuck the DG834N on ebay. I tried all the configs, with and with out security and no luck, it always disconnected, froze and crashed.

  • Trouble playing music through iTunes

    A problem has recently occurred with regards to playing music through iTunes. Whenever a song reaches around the half-way mark, it suddenly starts slowing down and becomes riddled with crackles. This only started last night, and is the first time I've ever had this problem. Does anyone know what the problem, and how to rectify it?

    Does this happen in other programs? Have you tried updating your soundcard drivers?

  • Playing music through iTunes on AirPort Express

    I have the following configuration:
    Airport Express (AX) ver 6.3 firmware
    iTunes 7.1.1
    Airport Admin Utility ver 4.1
    Linksys WRV200 wireless router - all wired and wireless computers connect to Internet and LAN here.
    My AX is configured to join my existing wireless network.
    I want to play music from any computer on my network-wired or wireless via iTunes and AX.
    Up until 2 months ago, I was able to play music to my AX from any wired or wireless computer on my network. I'm not sure that anything has changed with my configuration but now I can only see the AX in iTunes on wireless computers. When use the AirPort admin utility on a wired computer, I cannot see the AX in the base station chooser window but I can choose "other" and manually enter in the AX IP address and password and connect to the AX and configure the AX from the wired computer.
    I have the AX configured to enable airtunes over ethernet and have all iTunes clients configured to look for remote speakers. Can any one help here?

    Swipe from the bottom and a window will come up with the airplay option

  • Cannot play music from itunes playlist

    When I try to play from my itunes playlist I get the following message "The music you selected can’t be found or can’t be opened." This worked fine before I switched to Tiger (10.4.7). How do I fix this?

    Hello, RobMcCal,
    Welcome to the discussions!
    Do you mean you cannot get a playlist to play in iPhoto's slideshow? Or in iTunes itself?
    Your question was posted in the iPhoto discussions, and if it is an iTunes issue, you may get better responses by posting in that discussion forum.
    Post back here with more specific information regarding your problem if it is with iPhoto so we can be of help to you.

  • Itunes 7.0.1 installed, now I can't play music through itunes? please help!

  • Playing Music in iTunes Not Working

    I can select a song to be played and when the end of the song is reached it simply stops playing music. If I hit 'next' the current song being played pauses. I have shuffle on. Any ideas out there on how to fix this??

    Sounds like you have a video that is not supported by iTunes / Quicktime.
    Right-click the entry in iTunes and select (hmm, forgot exact option) 'show in Explorer' or something like that. That should open Windows Explorer and highlight this particular file. Right click the file and select Open With... QuickTime Player. If QT won't play the file, then you have almost no chance of playing it on an iPod. You would have to convert the file using some other utility to WMV or MPG so that iTunes & iPod could handle the file.

  • Cannot play music in itunes

    I moved my playlist to shared folders as stated in your advice for 2 ipods with one computer. now every song i try to play says "could not be used because the original file could not be found". help me before i smash my computer and ipod.

    Last month my old computer was stolen. I imported the music from my iPod and it worked fine. In an effort to get my pictures off my iPod I used XPlay-2. I think it might have messed up my music. Any ideas? Thanks!

  • When playing music through iTunes, it no longer starts at a random song.

    I have it set to shuffle and it used to start with a random song.  Now, it always starts with the first song in my library. I prefer the random start, but after the last update, it no longer does it.  Can I change this in a setting or something??

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
