Certain songs will no longer open in iTunes

Two night ago I tried playing some songs that have been in iTunes, working fine, for over 2 years, and they simply refused to play. No progress bar of any kind would pop up, iTunes essentially ignored my clicks to play the songs. I tried deleting the songs, and when I tried to reimport them, itunes would not add them to my library. The songs play fine in WMP and Quicktime, but will not open with iTunes. I did a clean reinstall of iTunes, and when I tried importing my entire library, I discovered this problem affected almost 500 songs! Why would these completely random and unrelated songs suddenly not be able to be opened in iTunes? (All songs are in unprotected MP3 format)

I did some more research and it appears as though this issue has affected a large group of people. I feel better knowing my problem is not unique, however I am still upset that I cannot access many of my songs. If this known issue has a fix and I just cannot find it, I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction!

  • I just recently upgraded my iPad and since then certain websites will no longer open up on the iPad but i can still access them on my mac pro laptop.  WHY?????  One of these websites is a work related website that i really need.

    I can open some websites on my ipad but not all.  The websites that are no longer opening were all working up till 3 days ago when I did the update on the ipad.  The websites that I can't open on the ipad i can switch to my macbook pro and open no problem.  I have tried to check all settings and just can't figure out what is going on.  One of the websites I can no longer open is ikea and also a work related website.  I can load the opening page but when I try to sign in it won't do anything including not even an error message.  Please help..

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • MP4 songs will no longer play in iTunes

    For some reason, maybe updating itunes, my MP4s will sit at 0:00 on pause when they are played, or get selected by shuffle. I dont know why this is happening. Most of them are from one artist, because I downloaded their music when it was free online, but they are all in .mp4 format. They are not videos, but songs rather. They have worked for years and played smoothly up until now. Most of them are even rated so they play in "My Top Rated." The weird thing is that they WILL open and play in quicktime, AND on my Iphone. So what is the deal with them pausing at the beginning and refusing to play in itunes?

    Got it figured out - Upon furthur inspection inside the music folder there was a hidden folder with some files in it for each song... dont know why or how they got there, but I delete the whole folder and transferred the music from another computer that was playing them smoothly, and WA-LA! So it must have been the files. Still don't know why it happened though

  • Since installing 10.5, Itunes will no longer open automatically when I connect my Iphone or insert a CD.  Nor will it, when I insert a CD, recognize the CD unless I close Itunes and open it again.  Any ideas?

  • I attempted to perform the itunes update on two different PCs and itunes will no longer open and I received a message to reinstall itunes. The reinstall did not work and I now receive a Runtime error message (R6034) re: library loading incorrectly. Help?

    I attempted to perform the itunes update on two different PCs. Itunes will no longer open and prompted me to reinstall itunes.  The reinstall did not work after several attempts and I received an error: "Runtime error R6034. An application has made an attempt to load the C Runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information."  Has anyone else had this issue? How can I resolve it?

    I've been having the same exact problem this morning, and from the looks of it a lot of other people are posting about this issue, so I don't know if it's maybe something wrong with the download but I'm just relieved that it seems to be that instead of a corruption issue with my windows installation.  I'm just wondering how long this will take to be resolved.

  • For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open.  I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection.  It worked fine before but now won't open.  I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply with additional information.
    Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
    being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
    that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
    to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
    Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
    But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
    Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
    version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
    a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
    b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
    driver version roll back.
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.
    ATR
    Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
    later versions of Premiere Elements.

  • HT1222 My ITunes will no longer open -- I get an 2 errors: Since version 10.07.0.21 pushed

    My ITunes will no longer open -- I get an 2 errors:  "AVFOUNDATIONCF.DLL" missing and Windows error 7 (126#.  I've tried reloading version 10.07.0.21 & older version from this past June but same, same, same.  I'm using Windows 7 - 64 bit:#

    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavaliable. - Then: The file 'C:ProgramData\Apple\Installer Cashe\Apple Software update 2.1.3.127 is not a valid installation package for the product Apple Software Update. Try to find the installation package 'Apple Software Update.msi' in a folder from which you can install the Apple Software Update
    1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page): 
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time? If so, do you still get the 7?

  • ITunes will no longer open

    Hi there,
    I have installed the newer version of iTunes, and it will no longer open when I click on the desktop icon, or use the Start/Programs/iTunes/iTunes. All I see is the hourglass for about 2 seconds, and then nothing. I have uninstalled and re-installed many times.
    I have also read thru some articles here and have tried:
    Go to My Computer\Tools\Folder Options\View and then choose "View All Hidden Files". Click OK. In My Computer, go to these files- local disk C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\apple computer\itunes\sc info and inside that is a file called SC Info.sidb and delete that. Check back to see if it opens after you complete that.
    Still nothing works
    I have disabled both Spyware and Sygate Firewalls ~ still nothing. I am unable download any music to my iPod at this time.
    If you could offer some other suggestions, I would really appreciate it ~ or even if I could re-install the original version of iTunes, but don't know where this could be found.
    Thanks

    Hi, I've just managed to solve the same problem on my PC running WindowXP. As a clarification: I do NOT have Norton Security etc. or Norton Anti-Virus etc. installed; my search on these forums have revealed that there are problems associated with the above progs. In any case, a summary of the problem:
    *Installed the iTunes package which came on disc for my iPod nano. Upgraded/Downloaded etc, etc, per instructions.
    *Upgraded to iTunes 6.0.4.
    * Launched upgraded iTunes. It worked. I was happy. I fiddle around with my new, fancy gadget.
    * I go to work and then return. Attempted to launch iTunes. It didn't work. Fiddled around with running programs. iTunes suddenly came to life. I was happy.
    * I shutdown iTunes.
    *Attempted to launch iTunes again, didn't work - mouse shows 'busy' animation with hourglass then resumes; iTunes doesn't start-up. I was unhappy.
    *Attempted to launch quicktime, same result - doesn't start-up. I was puzzled.
    *deleted the SC info.sidb file as you have done, attempted to launch iTunes and quicktime, unsuccessful. I was unhappy.
    Solution (at least, for me)
    * I decided to risk utterly destroying my computer.
    * Uninstalled quicktime.
    * Downloaded and installed quicktime standalone.
    * Rebooted.
    * Tested quicktime - launched, and was working.
    * Attempted to launch iTunes - no-go.
    * I scream "you shall not defeat me!"
    * Via control panel->Add/Remove Programs, I uninstalled iTunes.
    * Rebooted per on-screen instructions.
    * Reinstalled iTunes 6.0.4.
    * Attempted to launch iTunes - launched successfully. I sighed in utter, complete relief.
    Some oddities with my install: I didn't select iTunes as the default player for my music files, I don't quite know how this changes things; I suspect it doesn't.
    Anyway, I rebooted about 3-4 times to test if iTunes would continue launching. It seems to be working fine. Knowing how fragile software is, however, it's bound to fall apart again. Or maybe I'm being pessimistic.

    I tunes will no longer open on my computer.   I unloaded ITUNES and then LOADED it again and it still still will not open on my compuer....I click the ITUnes Icon...looks like it wants to load, then I get a window that says, do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer'  I click yes, then the screen gets cartoonish...all icons get fuzzy..and Itunes still does not open.  I have removed Itunes again, to get my comptuer screen back to the normal.   What the **** is going on?   It's always opened up just fine.  Help??

    Take a look at one of these Apple documents ->

    iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    Does iTunes start normally in Safe Mode?
    Are you seeing a user-specific or system-wide problem?
    Do you see any error messages? Is there a number associated with the message or in the report?

  • My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

    My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.  it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted.  Any suggestions?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Then try restoring again.
