HT1391 Music that is on my computer and iPhone will not play using any media player
Media (songs) that are listed in iTunes and on the iPhone will not play. The cursor skips over them. Using Explorer I can see them on the disc, but clicking them and trying to play them with Quicktime, Windows Media Player or iTunes does not work.
Does anybody know what I can do to fix this?
Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem.

I downloaded and audio book from itunes on my computer and it will not play
I downloaded Mansfield Park audio edition from itune to my laptop. I download went well but it will not play on my laptop. I have even tried deleteing book and re-downloading but same thing happens.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -

You can see it, its rather a slow 7 mins as I am drawing in real time, but you can hurry it by whooshing through if you like, you see the subject of the drawing towards the end to compare with the drawing. -
My computer and iPhone will NOT connect, Sync is loaded on both but will NOT connect
I don't know details. I followed the instructions and I can not connect to Firefox. The game is Kingdom of Camelot. Other tabs post but not Camelot.
Can you be a little more specific about what are you trying to do? Your issue doesn't seem related to Firefox.
I will try to help you as soon as I understand the issue in detail. -
IMovie - movies will not play on any computer other than my own
I'm using an iMac G5 running OSX 10.3 and the resultant quicktime movie generated from a movie edit will only play on my computer. They will not play on any other machine, PC, Mac - even identical iMac G5s running OSX 10.3 like mine.
I get error messages such as:
'This movie file "Fade In 02" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly'
'Error - 128: an unknown error occurred'
The "Fade In 02" must be referring to the fading in section of my film but I have no idea why it can't be found.
Am I omitting some necessary action when creating the movie ?
Does anyone else get this problem?
Thank you
Dogton
G5 iMac Mac OS X (10.3)Suggest that you crosspost in one of the iMovie Forums where all the iMovie users hang out. Hopefully, one of the knowledgeable users over there will see your post & help you out.
To play on a PC, change the title of the movie title "Fade In 02" to show like this--> FadeIn02.mov or use a suffix of whatever player the PC has.
See if that works.
Good luck! -
Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognise the device when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or current version of itunes?
It should still be compatible. Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port using a different cable to see if that helps? Perhaps, try it another computer as well to see if it's recognized there.
Otherwise, start by checking to see if it's even recognized in Device Manager. See this article for details.

I downloaded the latest itunes update on my HP desktop with Windows Vista and it will not play my music and has disabled the sound on my computer?
Good Morning jsacc38,
The resource below will help you with the issues you are having with the iTunes for Windows update on your PC:
If you can't install or update iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201668
Learn what to do if you can’t install or update iTunes on your Windows PC.
If you can’t install iTunes on your Windows PC, or if you see “error 7” or “error 2” after you install the software, follow the steps below in order.
If you see a different error when trying to launch iTunes, follow the steps in iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
Make sure that you're logged in to your computer as an administrator.
If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You can also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
If you have Windows XP: Choose Open.
If you've previously installed iTunes, the installer will prompt you to repair the software.
After the repair is complete, restart your computer and try launching iTunes.
If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows XP.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.
Songs you bought from the iTunes Store or imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default. Deleting iTunes won’t delete your music.
Disable conflicting software.
Some background processes can cause issues that prevent applications like iTunes from installing.
If you installed security software and are having issues installing iTunes for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve the issues.
Restart your computer.
After the restart, and adjusting the software running on your PC, install iTunes again.

If the steps in this article don't help you resolve the issue, you might be able to find a solution through a search of the Microsoft support website.

I have a iPhone 4s that I am trying to syn. when I look at IPhone content it shows music, but there is this symbol A dotted circle and these will not play. Please help as I am frustrated.
Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

I have an older version of iTunes on my office computer and it will not allow me to upgrade to the newer version without an administrative password. How can I get around this???
If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing! -

Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept serial number
Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept the serial number. Unable to deactivate Photoshop before upgrading computer due to hardware failure. Note that Adobe Photoshop CS4 New Install Bundle package consists of the new Photoshop CS4 Upgrade bundled together with the qualifying product, in this case an Adobe Photoshop CS2 License. I have tried both the CS2 and CS4 Serial numbers and both have not worked.

Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?
The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?
