Help cant play anything

I'Ve just stupidly upgraded to iTunes 7 and now I cant play any music in my library, there's just no response to the play command, even though it toggles from play to pause and back. Any ideas out there?

Hi Alec,
Have you tried repairing itunes 7? If you download it again, it will give you the option to repair (as i tried many times at the weekend!)
In the end i had to re-install itunes 6, obviously i lost my music from the library, however i saved my favourite songs in windows media and just imported them back....not ideal, but I got round it that way.......
Repairing may be no good, but it's worth a try......
Good luck

  • Help Me I Cant Play Anything!!!!!

    Hi, I recently had trouble with my old pc it seemed that the m/b died on me!!!  so iv just dished out £900 on a new pc tower  . I built it myself and its my first effort. Inside there is,
    Case: Thermaltake Xaser III
    PSU: 360W Thermaltake Dual Fan
    Motherboard: MSI 648MAX (8xAGP, ATA133 ETC.)
    Processor: P4 2.4ghz (533fsb)
    Cooler: Coolermaster IHC-L71
    Memory: 512mb PC2700
    Hard Drive: 80Gb Maxtor ATA-133 (7200rpm, 8MB Cache)
    Floppy Disk: Samsung
    CDRW/DVD: Samsung (x2)
    Graphics: 128MB MSI GF4 *x8* AGP Ti4800SE-VTD with TV Out/DVI
    Sound: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Player Retail
    Now then i have a few problems, first off when i boot up my machine i get a program called PC Alert4 showing up, this came with the motherboard and is used to show the status of your machine. Now there is one dial that shows up in red which is SYS FAN, I think it shows red because it is running too slow if anyone owns an MSI motherboard and may know this to be the case can you please inform me on what they SYS Fan is and how I can speed it up? Also if this is the case the CPU Fan runs at 2500
    is this ok?
    Another thing i that whenever I play a good 3D game like Warcraft3 or Mafia, Elder Scrolls3 etc my computer hangs and I cant recover it without rebooting  Why could this be? I is really bugging me because I cant play anything? The graphics card is good enough to easily run any of these games at full wack but yet my comp hangs, is this a gfx issue or something else?  
    Please help as I am stuck with what to do next!!!
    Thanx

    In PC Alert there are 2 purple boxes over each indicator, slid them to adjust the tolerances untill it stops warning you. 2500rpm for a case fan is normal.
    You can remove PC Alert from the startup by going to start menue->programs->startup->pcalert->right click->delete
    The instability can be a number of factors.
    Try memtest86 from http://www.memtest86.com to see if you are having any memory problems.
    See if setting the AGP to x4 in the bios helps.
    Try using an updated VGA driver from http://www.nvidia.com

    If that magnet was strong enough, it may have damaged your hard drive. You'll have to bring it in and see if you can get it repaired/replaced.

  • Cant play anything, cant connect with library, cant re-install

    Hi, hopefully someone can help me, sorry this so long, seems that everything has broken down...
    1. Last night I was trying to correct a few things in my library e.g. where itunes had wrongly split 1 album into 2 etc.. I assumed this would be straightforward but wish I hadn't even attempted it now...
    2. When I tried this for one or two albums and synched to see if it had worked, I was receiving error message like: "... won't play because it is not authorised on this ipod" and "... could not be located".  The songs had exclamation marks next to them and wouldnt play
    3. I googled some solutions and tried various things such as editing the "Get Info" details and re-pointing to the library, but in the end this just resulted in none of the files being located
    4.  I kept looking for solutions online, and tried various similar things such as collecting all music into one file, replacing it into the iTunes folder and re-pointing the library to it (in "Preferences") and re-synching but that still didnt work
    5. Then eventually nothing would play - not in iTunes and not on my ipod either - i.e. the songs were there but when I clicked play nothing would happen
    6. Eventually the synch removed all of my music off my ipod except what I had purchased from the iTunes store (so that is on my ipod but wont play. The podcasts wont play either)
    7. So next I tried to uninstall iTunes, re-install and recreate the library by pasting all the files back in.  But I can't re-install it.  The first time I re-installed it told me it couldnt find "Apple Mobile Device", and to uninstall and reinstall again.  I did this but now everytme I try to install I get an error saying I can't because an installation is already in progress.  I've googled for a solution and tried running "clean disk", restoring the system to before I'd unistalled etc.. but nothing works..
    I'm not sure if this is related but a few months ago my hard drive was replaced.  I recovered all my music and had managed to get things working but perhaps it is related if the original music files weren't in the places they were supposed to be or that iTunes was expecting??
    This also may be unrelated but for a few months now, whenever I try to sync I get a message saying "scan and fix" or "continue without scanning".  If I choose scan and fix it crashes my PC, so I just used to choose continue without scanning and it would sync correctly.
    Can anyone help?? The first thing I need to do is reinstall itunes I suppose but at the moment I cant even do that...

    Ok, seemed an antivirus program was preventing install, so that bit is sorted
    The problem now is that I cant import my old library.  I imported these files from CD a few years ago.  More recently I found one other old CD and have purchased things from the iTunes store. The CD i added recently is there, as are my iTunes store purchases, but I can't import the rest.
    Is there anything I can do?? They wont play in Windows Media Player either. Could there be a permissions issue??iTunes file formats changing in updates and now it doesnt recognise the old ones??

  • I have moved all of my music from my laptop to a portable hard drive...need help :( cant play music

    Hi all,
    I moved all my music from my laptop to a portable hard drive, my hope was that i could just plug and play into my mabook air not the case...
    I was wondering if anyone could help with the following, in a perfect world i would love to be able to keep the music on my drive (there is about 500 gb worth) and then when i want to play through mac to apple tv be able to just plug into mac and then be good to go, or if poss for itunes to be able to recognise the music on my portable drive...and for me then to play through itunes without adding it (as there wouldnt be enough space)...and to also have the capability to plug the drive into my windows comp and be able to also still play from there.
    I dont know if any of this is poss...it all seems really complicated to me...and i am new to mac.
    If anyone thinks they could help please get in touch!
    my main goal is to be able to play my music through apple tv to the surround system in the house, and to be able to play music through my mac if poss, doesnt have to be itunes so long as i can air play or even better select through apple tv.
    thanks so much in advance to anyone who can help me out
    p.s. i tried this...didnt work, unless i am doing it wrong

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 
    Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
    If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    Do not confuse (as you did) moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

    If you want some advice from a parent who has a 5yr old, a 3yr old and a 1yr old using Ipads... Keep them off the Youtube stuff.. It has caused more problems for me than anything you would believe..
    From issues with the Ipads... finding they have gone from Dora the Explorer vidoes to cartoons of characters called poopman... and the biggest problem.. I think the overdose of Ipad usage has ruined my kids from doing what regular kids should be doing.. On xmas they opened all their gifts, then just went back to the ipads.. I thought Candyland and Chutes and Ladders would be a big change.. Forget it.. They need rehab from Ipad..

    the Nokia Pc Suite(the most updated - 7.1.40.1)  was working in the past but now when im trying to sync things to my phone
    i get message that its not finding the usb cable....
    my usb cable is ok and my phone is ok...
    but also its not letting me use the bluetooth.

    Thank you very much Helpers.

    To sync you need to connect the phone to iTunes and do it like there - there is no other way on a 3gs and also remember that a lot of apps will no longer be compatible with an iPhone 3gs - it is an old phone in technology terms now.
    Time to buy a new phone!!

  • Apple TV keeps Freezing Up I tunes, cant access anything on computer

    This started about 2 weeks ago. I have 2 Apple TV and 2 Apple TV2 on a wired network. When I go to connect to the computer, I can see the list of the Movies, but not the picture Icons, all that is there is ADMIT ONE ticket. And I cant play anything. I can get to the internet and the store but not to my movies or music. Then go back to computer and I Tunes has the spinning color wheel and has to be forced quit. I re start, and can watch movies on the computer, but as soon as I try on the Apple TV, again lock out, and color circle wheel on computer.
    Out of ideas....need help.
    Tried uninstalling I Tunes, and re installing but don't know how to do a full uninstall, everything comes back automatic.
    Thanks

    You can do a factory restore without an internet connection, but you won't be able to sync stuff onto it unless you can connect to a computer on your local network, unless you don't currently have one.
    You also potentially would not be able to add protected iTunes movies/music to the AppleTV without an internet connection, but you should be able to factory restore ans sync non-protected stuff.
    AppleTV should be good enough at 'housekeeping tasks' so that a full drive won't affect performance.
    Not sure I know what you mean by eventually giving up and watching a movie.
    If connected via HDMI then I have a suspicion that AppleTV not being the selected HDMI input can affect it and make it unresponsive in some instances with some TVs, but it's not consistent behaviour.

  • I can't play anything in my drive

  • Cant play/add songs

    Up until a couple days ago iTunes was working fine, but then it started acting up.
    Only a small amount of the songs would play, when I clicked play on the others nothing would happen. So I deleted my music library and tried importing the songs again. iTunes only added the songs that played before, it refuses to add the others. No errors come up or anything of the sort.

    Yes I have tried the Apple suggestions to no avail.  I appreciate your replies and Im still trying to work it out.  If I deactivate and then re activate would that do it you think??  Im no computer wizz and dont want to stuff it up so I cant play anything lol

    this is the iPhone forum, but what the heck
    Have you tried this:
    On your iPod, Go Videos>Video Settings>TV Out and make sure it's set ON and NTSC
    nevermind - looks like you tried that already

  • My ipod touch 5 is frozen on the lockscreen and i cant do anything except restart it and that doesnt hekp. will getting a new screen help? or is there another, less exspensive way? also, it is not connected to wifi.

    I need to fix my ipod and i don't know how, i am hoping that if i leave it alone over night that it will fix itself,
    its on the lock screen and i cant do anything with the screen, i tried restarting it and it didnt work, so because i restarted it, it is not connected to wifi.
    please help.
    will getting a new screen help? or is there an easier, less expensive way?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
