How do I get iTunes to play my music?

My computer was recently repaired under AppleCare which required the replacement of the mother board. Now iTunes thinks I have a new computer, a computer that is not authorized to play the music I downloaded before the mother board was changed. How do I correct this problem?

Well...no one's going to take advantage of the authorization, and you're allowed a max of five authorizations. Once you reach five, you can deauthorize all and then authorize only those you need. Unless you've reached your max, I wouldn't worry about it.

  • How do I get iTunes to play more than one song at a time on my PC?

    I have selected all in a playlist, then click the play button. It plays only the first song in the playlist. How do I get it to play all of those selected?

    My iTunes is doing the same thing: when I select a playlist and hit "play," if shuffle is turned on, iTunes plays only one song and then stops. If shuffle is turned off, it plays just fine (one song after another, in order).
    Select the songs, right click - get info.
    Select the Options tab and Uncheck *Skip when shuffling*.
    Also, when I hit shuffle, it doesn't rearrange the songs in the playlist like it's supposed to.
    If you are sorting on any column besides the very first on before the track name, the songs will stay displayed in that same sort order.
    When you play the playlist, the list will jump around and be shuffled.
    If you are sorting on the very first column, the list will be displayed in the shuffled order and play in that order.

  • How can I get itunes to play one album from start to finish, especially when there are different artists on it?

    How can I get itunes just to play albums from beginning to end? Often if an artist has a guest artist, or there are 'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately, so listening from beginning to end becomes not one click away, but a multitude of clicks away just to make a play list which returns the album to its original state. Why can't Apple do this as a default?

    If your music is sorted by "Albums", even a compilation is a single click.
    'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately,
    That happens when you sort your music by "Artist".

  • How do I get iTunes to see my music on a server

    Hi,
    I have alot of music on a seperate server, how do I get iTunes to see this. I have tried adding it as a folder however when I shut the computer down and come back to it again it can't locate the music. Any ideas?

    Apple provides repeat downloads as a convenience, not a substitute for your computers being the primary source of file transfers.  All your iTunes information such as playlists, ratings, etc. are in a file on your computer, not in the Apple Store.  Typically when you move computers you copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the new computer.  Moving media files can be done with a drive, or by Home Sharing.  You can also redownload media but let's say somebody desiced Apple may no longer sell a certain album; it cannot be downloaded again but if you already have it on a computer you can move your copy of the file.
    5 authorizations:  Some households have multiple computers.  If you want ot use one with an account it has to be authroized.  It means you can use any computer in the house to make purchaes, etc.
    Okay, my 5 minute typing limit for any one response is up.

  • How do I get Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track

    How do I get stupid Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track #3 is a duet w/ "Jane Doe", it treats it as a separate album! What can I do

    Hi
    All my tracks are MP3.
    In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column.  If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
    If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

  • HOW CAN i GET ItUNES TO PLAY MY TUNES?

    i AM UNAB;E TPO PLAY MY MUSIC FILES ON ItUNES. I uninstalled and reinstalled the iTunes app with no change.  The ap appears to load but doesnot play.What can I do to get it to play?

    I have a similar problem. Bought an external drive to store music and pictures, followed the instructions on several threads here on how to transfer these from my D drive (the back up drive on the computer itself) to the L drive (the Buffalo Linkstation); changed the location of the library to the correct address where all the music files are (I can see them there) having consolidated them there. It could not find any of them unless I individually located them (there are over 9000 tracks so I have not got time to do that). I changed the location back to the original and it found them again. Next I tried following the thread on the .itl file - using shift and selecting the library on the L drive, but it only found 300 tracks, some bought, some transferred, some full albums, some only part of the album, an apparently random selection. I tried going back to the original .itl file and the same happened - it only found the same small selection of tracks. I know the files are still there - I can see them, but I have no idea how to connect itunes to them. Please help!

  • How can I get iTunes to play more than one song before stopping?

    When I click on a song listed in iTunes, iTunes plays it and then stops. How can I get it to continue and play the next song, and then the next..
    Thanks

    I just found the answer. iTunes will play consecutively the songs that are checked, if Controls --> Repeat Off is checked. When I asked the question I had unchecked all songs.

  • How do I get itunes to play the local file instead of streaming it?

    I have my iTunes Library on an external FW800 drive.  Recently I didn't realize the drive was not attached and tried to play a song.  iTunes couldn't find the file and started streaming it from iTunes Match.  I've since reattached the drive, but iTunes won't recognize the local file.
    Is there a way to get iTunes to recognize the existing local file or is my only option to redownload the file and delete the old one?

  • How do you get itunes to play on a Dell PDA?

    Is there any program needed to be installed on a PDA to get it to play itunes. I can get them to the PDA but it will not open or play any of the songs. HELP PLEASE!!!!

    You'll need to burn the songs to audio CD, then rip into a format that your PDA will play. There is no iTunes player available for PDAs, so you'll need to 'jump through hoops' to get it to work. THe GOOD thing is, you'll have a backup made of your iTunes purchases!

  • How do I get ITunes to pull my music from TimeCapsule instead of local HDD

    I have been trying without success to have copy all of my music from my new "Time Capsule" instead of my local HDD. I contact apple and they were not able to assist as they said it was not support.
    This is what I have done.
    I copied my entire music folder, placed it onto my time capsule. I can see the folder.
    In iTunes preferences I pointed to the TC Music folder I copied
    I select add to library and it starts to read all of my music.
    When it's done, there's nothing in my iTunes library.
    What's the problem? Can someone help? This was one of the main reasons I bought this time capsule. I am sure there are many people that have either done this or want to.
    I appreciate any assistance.
    Thanks,
    BB

    I don't use itunes to point at music from my TC but for you I just tried it.
    I copied one mp3 song to the TC. Before I launched itunes I mount the TC hard drive to the desktop first. Launch itunes. Select add to library from the file menu. No need to go to preferences.
