Front Row Crashes While Attempting to play music from a playlist

So, I launch Front Row, select iTunes, select playlists, select a playlist, the shuffle is the only option....so I select shuffle and get the message a problem has been encountered. I press any key and the program exits. All software is up to date.
I'm stumped and I'll buy a coke for anyone that can help.
thanks!

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

How to set alarm on iPhone 5 to play music from a playlist?

I'd like to set alarm on my iPhone 5 to play music from a playlist or from a album in Music, i.e. when alarm goes off, it will play more than just one song like songs in a playlist. This setting option was present in my old iPods (iPod Classic and iPod 5th generation), but is not present in both new iPhone 5 and new iPod Touch. Or, does anyone know how to work around it? It would be nice to be woken up by one of my favorite playlists rather than having to listen to just one song over and over. Thank you. piamsakp

Tell Apple to add this ability:

As far as the app goes, I don't Know, as I don't use it. Just know you need an app to do playlists.

ITunes 7.1 will crash when attempting to play music

Ever since I've upgraded to version 7.1, iTunes crashes whenever I attempt to play music. This also occurs when I try to listen to a song in iTunes Store.
Thanks for any help!

are you still at iTunes 7.1.0.59? to check, go "help > about iTunes", and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
if you've got a 7.1.0.59, try upgrading to 7.1.1.5:
iTunes 7.1.1.5 installer
do you still get the crash when playing music with that in place?

iTunes Match is available now. You can sign up from your computer and then, on your Apple TV, you can turn iTunes Match on to listen to your iCloud library from the Apple TV.

ITunes 7.6 Bug: Does not play music from Intelligent Playlists

Since I upgraded to iTunes 7.6 I can no longer play music from my intelligent playlists. Whenever I try it will remove the song from the playlist instead of playing it.
Has anybody else experienced this and maybe found a solution?
And if not, how can I downgrade to iTunes 7.5?

... and one other thing: I had to re-activate my computer repeatedly to be able to listen to the music bought in the iTunes store. After several vain attempts it finally worked when I accessed the piece directly in my music library instead of from a playlist. However, my computer was re-activated as a new pc although it had been activiated already before the upgrade.
And as to changing the infos - in my case to Soundtrack - this works only as long as the intelligent playlist tries to actually play he song. Then the info changes back automatically to the former status - in my case the German "Filmmusik" (meaning soundtrack in German).
So it seems that this is simply a localisation (or purely German?) problem with iTunes getting mixed-up with the non-English and English definitions. I now have changed all genre infos to "Filmmusik" instead of Soundtrack, and voila, it is working. - Very strange, indeed.
Anyway, for the time being I will not mark this thread as solved as I am not sure that this is the permanent solution.

Front Row Crashing when Trying tpo play video

I just picked up m new iMac 20" and have been trying to play my videos on Front row.
I have tried every category - they are all authorized - but still, before even a second of video play s - Frontrow crashes. Please help!

There are several steps. Note that this is invading your main System folder which can be dangerous. You should have a complete backup of all your files before poking around like this!
1. Delete Front Row (and Front Row only) from this path by dragging it to the Trash:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app
Then empty your Trash.
2. Delete the records that indicate Front Row has already been installed by deleting the receipts. If you've installed the 1.3 update, there will be two files to delete in this path:
/Library/Receipts/FrontRow.pkg
/Library/Receipts/FrontRowUpdate1.3.pkg
Drag both of those files to the Trash and empty it.
3. Put in your Mac OS X install DVD (you don't have to boot from it) and run the "Install Bundled Software Only" installer. At the "Install Type" window, there should be a "customize" button. Click on that and uncheck every other option besides Front Row. The continue and finish installing Front Row only.
4. Run the Software Update and your computer should recognize you need the Front Row 1.3 update. Install the update. Now might be a good time to restart.
That should completely replace Front Row and update it to the current version (which is needed if you're using the up-to-date version of iTunes and QuickTime).

Since upgrading to ios5 doesnt play music from my playlists allthough songs are installed, and some of the applications are crashing

since upgrading to ios5 on my iphone4 does not play music (ipod) from my playlists allthough songs are installed, and some of the applications are crashing

Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.

Playing music from a playlist

I'm wondering why my iphone 4 has now decided that when I'm in a playlist to play random songs. It seems like it is on shuffle but I have not picked that option. Is there any way to fix this problem? It is really starting to be annoying

I figured this out. No worries now. I did some research on here in other discussions and discovered that if you are having the same problem as me. Well, just go into your playlist pick a song to play, while it is playing just touch the album cover background and a little screen at the top will appear There are icons on both the left and right sides one for repeat and one for shuffle option well if it is orange you need to touch that icon to make it not shuffle Worked for me.....hope it helps someone

Itunes 7.1 crashes when attempting to play music

since the upgrade I can't play any music.
I un- and re-installed itunes, no change!
This is only on my home machine, not on any of my work machines.

Pinknoise,
ok,
Then do the steps in KB 93698. Then use the standalone Quicktime installer, linked in the following article, to install Quicktime first, then install iTunes again.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
I recommend you always use the option of saving the installer at the prompt to download it, not the run option. Make a new folder to save it in. Give it the name of the version of the installer you are saving as the name will usually be the same, i.e. itunessetup.exe. (note of where you save it)
Hope this helps,

How do you play music from a playlist on an iPhone without using WiFi and iCloud?

I travel in a RV and frequently park in campgrounds that do not have WiFi. I've been told I can copy iTunes playlists (selected from my copied CDs on my Mac) onto my iPhone 5S. I can then, using a mini stereo jack go from the output on the iPhone to the aux input on my DVD player and thereby play my playlists of copied CD music on my RV sound system. All well and good except I tried my Music app on my iPhone and could not find a play function. I found the iTunes Radio but that only seemed to work with a WiFi connection. What am I missing?
As you can tell, I am not experienced with the iPhone although I've used a Mac for years. Is there a basic tutorial on how to accomplish my stated task or at least use the basic music function? I've tried to find something on the Apple website but haven't been able to find anything yet.
Thanks in advance.

Chris -
Those 2 playlists were a total of 498 songs. I have just been using the default rate when I load a CD and click on import into iTunes. Is there a better way? My second 2 playlists have about 330 songs plus about another 20 I'm going to load today and then stop and see about syncing them on my iPhone as well. I've gotten about half of my CDs imported. This is obviously a do-as-you-get-time task that will take quite a while. Not so much importing the CD, but listening to at least a couple bars of each song to see which I want to put on a playlist.

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.

Front Row Crashes

Hello,
I searched for similar problems but I couldn’t locate anything. Frequently when I am in Front Row and playing a movie, Front Row will just stop and I will be taken immediately back to my desktop. When I go back into Front Row to replay the movie, I am not given the option to resume where last played.
Also, if I have been listening to music previously, and then the next time I use Front Row to watch a movie, it will do the same thing and just take me to my desktop. When I go back into Front Row, I am prompted at the Music icon and not the Movie icon where I was last using the software.
I have over 200 full-length movies in my movie folder, not sure if that would make a difference. I am using a 20” iMac, 2.16 Ghz, 2 GB of memory. I have run disk utility, but it is still happening. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary

ok, go to your app folder, click dvd player, and then go to file and click open DVD media and locate your movie.
