CDs will not play or import after downloading version 6

I got the message asking did I want to download to the latest version (6) of Itunes, so I said yes to install as normal. After it completed I was unable and am still unable to play or import CDs using Itunes. It seems to play the first few seconds of each song and skip to the next. I wonder if anyone knows how to solve this problem or alternatively go back to the old version of Itunes without losing my existing library?
Thanks

CDs will not play or import in iTunes?

When I insert a CD, it will not play or prompt me to play. These options are checked in the preferences. This is a new install. I even uninstalled and reinstalled. It will not even play from my computer if I double click on it. I have a CD and a DVD and they both work other than that. If you right click on the CD and tell it to open with Media player, it also works fine. I even reinstalled my CD/DVD software. I am using iTunes 7. Any ideas? Thanks

Led Zeppelin mothership cd will not play or import on itunes

The Led Zeppelin CD-Mothership will not play or import onto iTunes, I have not had a problem before, I have all Led Zeppelin CD's on iTunes & thousands of other tracks. Any help would be appreciated.

Some CD's are crippled with invalid error codes or similar schemes to try to prevent copying. Is error checking turned on or off? Try with both settings. Do the CD's play OK in a regular player or alternate computer? Search for the title plus "copy protection" to see if there are known issues with the CD in question. (Yes there are!)
On the occasions this has happened to me I have returned the CD to the store for a refund.

CDs will not play in iMac

My iMac will not play CDs. (They are ejected.)
-It does play DVDs.
-I have reloaded OS X.
Suggestions?
OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389)
iMac (20-inch, Early 2008)
2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB

Hi john_,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iMac is reading DVDs but not CDs, and you've already reinstalled OS X, try these steps next:
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

Iphoto 9.5.1. will not play my imported videos from my iPhone 5

When iphonot 9.5.1. imports videos made on my iPhone 5 through iTunes, the videos import but will not play through iPhoto. Anyone know why? Thank you.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
can you play the videos outside of iPhoto with Quicktime Player?
if you use iPhoto to import the videos directly will they play in iPhoto?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Just purchased a new PC. I transferred entire library to cloud, my itunes will open, I can see my library but will not play any music or download it to either my devices

I just purchased a new PC. I transferred my entire LIbrary to the Cloud, when I redownloaded my music onto my new PC, the itunes will not play music.

You need to download the music to your computer from icloud or copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
Download past purchases - Support - Apple
Not sure what you mean by "transferred my entire LIbrary to the Cloud"

Music not purchased from iTunes will not play on iPhone after iOS5 update

Music that I have purchased from iTunes syncs perfectly to the iPhone (3GS) but the music from my library that was not purchased from iTunes (burned from a CD) will show up in the iPhone music list but does not have any artwork nor will it play that music! Currently my solution has been to delete the defunct music from the iPhone and recopy it from iTunes. The music will then play but the artwork is missing. This is a rather irritating problem. Is anyone else having this issue? If so, any are any other solutions? Thanks!

I have just noticed that I am missing songs since I upgraded to iOS5. In some cases the art work is there and the length of the song is there but it will not play. I'm going to try and resync when I get home. I'll have to check to see if the songs still exist in my iTunes??? Nothing is ever easy is it??

HT204074 I see a song in my purchased folder but will not play on iphone after it is synced

I see a song that I purchased from itunes store and is in my purchased folder but will not sync to my phone. it has a greyed out hollow circle next to it and it will not play on phone.

In your summary page scroll all the way down to the bottom and make sure "sync only checked songs and vidoes" is NOT checked. Then go to your music tab to the right of the summary and uncheck music> apply> sync> Re-check sync music> apply> sync.
Hope this helps!!!

Itunes on W8 will not play any files after upgrade to 11.0.4.4

After following the prompt and updating Itunes on Windows 8 to version 11.0.4.4 on 6 June, Itunes no longer plays any audio or video files from my library. Pick a file and Itunes shows that it is playing (Pause button only) however nothing happens. The file simply does not play. Windows Media Player will not open any files. VLC will play flash video files but with no sound. Video played in IE10 seems to play ok including sound. Anyone have any suggestions. I can uninstall but figure I'll get teh same version when I re-install. Everything worked fine prior to installing this upgrade.

Resolved by running W8 System Restore to a point prior to the last Itunes update. Now back on the previous version of Itunes. Windows Media Player working correctly with all file types. Itunes working correctly also. I'm quite happy not to re-apply any updates from Apple for a while.

Quicktime will not play MPEG-2 after Lion updagrade

I have upgraded my system to Lion which should enable Quicktime to load MPEG-2 videos yet I cannot "missing codec" - does anyone have a possible solution?

These are files that were stored on my previous Windows computer as AVCHD and utlised a Sony program (Picture Motion Browser - PMB) to view. The PMB had a facility that allowed me to convert the files to MPEG-2 (.mpg) which I did. I then transferred these files across to my iMac.
Are you sure the content is MPEG-2? AVCHD data can be stored in an MPG/MPEG file containers without transcoding but would not be recognized by Lion's QT X Player software. (I normally use the MKV file container for such data.) Try playing it in VLC and if it loads and plays without problem check the "Media Info" window to view the compression formats.
When I open the .mpg QT is launched but then the error regarding the missing Codec comes up.
Which version of QT? Lion can simultaneously use both QT X and QT 7 players. The one that opens automatically could be either depending on whether or not you have modified the default "Open with..." setting for the MPG/MPEG class of files.
I have the Lion OS which I am to believe updates QT to enable it open MPEG-2 files.
As previously stated, only QT X natively supports MPEG-2 compression. QT 7 MPEG-2 is not supported by Lion's QT X software and so, as previously mentioned, it still requires the $19.99 QT MPEG-2 Playback Component be installed.
I have also downloaded the QT MPEG-2 Conversion from the apple store however it will not install on my computer as it says I need an older version of my OS before it can proceed.
If by "QT MPEG-2 Conversion" you are referring to the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component, only the installer will not run. The component itself is compatible and can be installed in one of three different ways:
1) Install the component on an older system and then copy the component to your Lion system.
2) Download and use the free MPEG-2 Streamclip Beta package software to install the component. (I.e., this software package includes a "helper" utility that will install the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component which is in the installer package you purchased from Apple but which will not run on its own.)
3) You can use Pacifist to either auto-install the component from the MPEG-2 component installer package or to extract the component and manually install it yourself.

My itunes would not play purchsed songs after downloading from Ipod

Recently, I had to download all my songs from Ipod and start all over again. I got my Liblary back, but Itunes would not play previously purchased songs. How Cal I authorise my computer. I follow the steps to authorise, but stil would not play after even down loading the new versions of Itunes. Help!

I had a similar thing happen to me, I recovered my purchased songs from my Ipod some played but some didn't. I would say the ones you can not play even after authorizing them are currupt. Just click this link http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/lostmusic/ at the bottom of the page under the heading "Email Support" Fill out the basic info and tell them you have lost your bought music. they should email you back telling you they have set up a download quere and how to redownload your songs without having to pay for them again. Just keep in mind it may take them up to 3 days to reply to you

Iphone will not synch with itunes after downloading most recent itunes version

I updated to most recent version of itunes and since then my 3GS iphone will not synch with itunes. the phone is recognized by my windows computer but not recognized within itunes. I redownloaded itunes and Q but nothing. Can anyone help?

I have a Dell XPS 8500 with a 64bit i5 Processor and an Apple 4s and I have the same problem. I have been searching for days and can only get the phone recoginzed by disabling power to USB ports and there is no way I can get ITunes to show devices, so I can't see the IPhone. People say Apple monitors these sites but I haven't seen any response from a technical person. Have you? My hunch is they know about the problem but don't have a fix, and have other priorities for their team. If my hunch is correct, its quite extraordinay because I am close to selling my 4s and getting some phone which is easier to work with. Time is my scarcest resource and I have devoted way too much of it to this issue.

Purchased music will not play on iPod after iTunes 6.0.1 (3)

After upgrading to iTunes 6.0.1 (3) and then syncing my iPod Photo I can no longer play songs purchased in iTunes on my iPod (cds copied to iTunes play fine). The music (and album art) for the iTunes purchased shows up on the iPod, but the iPod just quickly cycles through any purchased music without playing it - this applies to all purchased music (recently purchased and stuff purchased 9 months ago when I got my iPod). The music plays fine using iTunes on my laptop. I have the latest firmware update on the iPod Photo (1.2).
Any thoughts/help are appreciated.

seems like Apple wants us to illegaly obtain the songs from now on. You know the story about starving musician, poor janitor at studio, well it is not important now.
I am done with being cool, now i want something that will actually work. lets see how long will it take for iTunes update to come accros, and will anyone in Apple say we are sorry guys, we screwed up. hmmm, maybe refund for all the songs you purchased would be fair, you know guys we sold you and told you it will work on your coputer, but look surprise they dont. no, not even crappy explanation, just new update.

Older DV Tapes Will Not Play or Import Into iMovie

I have a lot of DV tapes shot ten years ago on a JVC camcorder that I want to import into iMovie.
I have a new Canon Vixia hv 30 and I'm assuming these older mini DV tapes are compatible because these old tapes play fine in the camcorder itself, and also on my TV, but when I try to import them into iMovie, they do not display in the iMovie import window. However, new tapes shot recently with the new hv 30 display and import just fine.
Is there a problem with the old tapes being incompatible in some way I'm not understanding?
Dino1956 answered a similar problem in 2008:
*iMovie Camcorder Import Fix*
*Connect your camera. put it in 'play' mode (sometimes also called vcr). start up imovie (hd or 08; both work, but i use HD). go to the blue 'import' screen. it should just say 'camera connected'.*
*Now comes the trick. don't click import, but instead put your camera in 'record' mode. you should now see whatever it is that your aiming the camera at on your computer screen.*
*QUICKLY put your camera back in play mode. again very quickly press the 'play' button, either on the imovie import screen or on your camera. your DV tape will start to play back.*
*-On my computer, the video now suddenly shows up in imovie! You can now click the 'import' button in imovie, and imovie will start importing the tape in realtime. This is a bit slower than the normal import method, but hey, at least you can now get your video into imovie!*
...but this solution doesn't work for me. I cannot "quickly" click the Play button on the camera monitor or in the iMovie window after switching from record to Play on the camera because there is a 5 second time lag on both the camera's monitor and in the iMovie window while the iMovie screen/camera monitor switches over from Record to Play.
Is there any way I can get older DV footage into iMovie from my Vixia hv 30? My resources are at a very low ebb right now.

I found a clue on the www.hv20 website: Old DV tapes recorded before HDV...you need to go into the hv 30 menu and select "DV" rather than "HDV", then the video shows up in the iMovie import screen and imports easily.
