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 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

IPhoto will not play song purchased from iTunes in slideshow

IPhoto reports the song as not being authorized on this computer.
When I go to iTunes the songs are all authorized to play on this computer, and they do play in iTunes.
Here's the message from iPhoto:
This computer is not authorized to play "17 Good Riddance.mp4".
If you purchased this song you can open itunes and authorize this computer to play this song by entering your Apple ID and Password".
When I do this, nothing changes. I can repeat the process a number of times and the purchased song will not play.
Anyone else deal with this and find a solution?

I did the burn and re-import and that works just fine. Would like to resolve this so I do not have to do that work around though.
Haven't posted at the iTunes forum as it seems like more of an iPhoto problem since the songs in question play fine in iTunes. It seems that iPhoto is the program having trouble with the DRM on slideshows.
I'll check around over there though.
Thanks everyone for such quick responses.

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?

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?

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).

Iphone 4 will not play audiobook purchased in itunes. Any ideas

Purchased an audiobook on itunes. It worked well until I got to about chapter 7 of 10. Now it will not play on my device. It will appear on the screen as if it is playing, but no sound comes out whether I am using earbuds or the built in speaker. I don't think it is the media itself because I can locate it in my computer and double click it to play it, and itunes will come up and it will begin to play. Have not tried it on any of my other devices yet.

Same exact problem- a $44 book!

10.8.5 ITUNES WILL NOT PLAY MOVIES DOWNLOADED FROM ITUNES

Downloaded the new iTunes last night and it seems to work well with music but it will not play movies I've downloaded from the iTunes store. The sore works, Radio works, I can buy from the store but movies I have from iTunes (Star Trek, The Incredibles, ST: Into Darkeness among others) strat then crash. I get a message about an error with a plug in (FX I think) that has failed or is not found.
Anybody else seeing this? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

Okay, I think I found my problem. I have SRS iWOw installed and the FX plugin is part of that. If I disable iWow all movies play as they are supposed to.
Looks like I need to contact SRS for an update/upgrade or dump it and find another sound enhancer app.
Thanks fo looking.

Ipod will not play anything purchased from itunes!!!

My ipod will not play anying thing purchased from itunes. It plays ok on itunes but it skips it on my ipod. I have restored my ipod athoritized my computer and I cant find any answers in help. Please help me!!!

See this article.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

Songs will not play at all in iTunes 7.0.1 today. Help?

Installed new version last night. Everything worked fine, songs played after instal. Today, songs will not play. Display shows name of song, time, etc., but song will not start (time stays constant, progress meter does not move). Any ideas?

Just for fun, I shut down, rebooted, and tried again, and now it works fine.

ITunes will not play/allow import of any audio files

I have iTunes installed via Windows 7. Yesterday, iTunes stopped playing any audio files. I first noticed this problem after streaming music to my apple TV went bonkers. I tunes would play the first 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next one, even though all music played fine through iCloud on my apple TV. Afterwords all audio files just stopped playing with an error. Before this time everything worked fine.
I double click on them or right click on play and nothing happens, period. Of note, almost all the artwork that was associated with the audio files has also disappeared in itunes. I can still play video files with sound through itunes without any problem. I can play all music through quicktime, vlc, etc. without any issue. I can also link to my pc-itunes library and play the same music through iTunes installed on my mac without issue. I can play samples fine through itunes via the itunes store.
I tried I have tried unistalling iTunes, Quicktime, etc. (following Apple's recomendations for unistalling) with subsequent reinstalls now 3 times. I even paid good money for RegCure Pro to clean the registry - still the same problem.
I also cannot import audio files into itunes on my pc now either - dragging and dropping as well as, going through the menu - nothing works!
This has got to be the most frustrating issue that I have had to deal with on a computer!
Please help!

I have now discovered the problem. The hard drive that I was using for iTunes was Dirty; meaning that something was corrupted. As a result I had to copy all file to a temp location and reformat the drive. This solved the problem. Of note, I had formatted the drive the first time using exFAT in hopes of being apple to use if needed with my mac mini.

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.

Itunes 5 will not play music purchased from itunes music sto

Just transferred myself from my flat panel imac to a new powerbook & Tiger - updated to 10.4.2. In itunes, all seemed to be working fine till I noticed that music I purchased in the Apple itunes music store would not play! I get a dialogue box saying "This computer is not authorized to play "xxxx". and asks me if I want to authorize it. I do so using my AOL screenname and password and then I am told "Machine authorization was successful. You have authorized this for 1 computer. You have a maximum of 5". I click OK but nothing happens. If I try to play the just-authorized song, I get the same screen ansking me to go thru the authorization process again - to no avail. So strange that this just happens with the music sitting right there in the "Purchased" folder. itunes 5 rejecting its own children. What to do?

Mike, Hi
Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.
