HT1711 I have all of my music loaded into iTunes and now I can only play iTunes songs.  Can anyone tell me why?

I have all of my music loaded into iTunes but can only play the songs that I bought through iTunes.  Am I doing something wrong or can I only use the iTunes player for iTunes music?

From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps!

  • Updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music, updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music

    i updated my itunes, and now it won't play any of my music. i tried deleting it and reinstalling itunes, but it still is doing the same thing: whenever i click on a song, it looks like it's going to play (and my last.fm thing starts scrobbling it) but it just doesn't play the song, ever. it sits there, with the play button played. i am so frustrated with itunes, and i have no idea how to resolve this.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

    I guess I need help.
    Here is what is happening.  I put the songs on a regular CD.  When I insert this CD into the MAC, up pops just symbols: music square box with name of song below it in black.  Other ones have just quicktime blue box with a q on it and name of song.  No files with check boxes like a CD you buy at a music store.  Have tried to drag over a file at a time to Itunes and no such luck.
    What to do now?

  • I moved all of my music to my new computer and now my ipod touch stops the song at end of it why and how do i fix it easily

    i moved all of my music to my new computer and now the songs stop before the end of them or it skips to the next one on the ipod how can i fix it easily

    Assuming your library was in the standard layout before you started move the rest of the iTunes folder to the root of the external drive, move the iTunes Media folder inside it, and shift-start iTunes to connect to library file at \iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
    See Make a split library portable for some background.

  • I bought a song on iTunes and now it won't play if I have wifi turned on.

    I don't know what is wrong with my music. It is just one song thY I can't play with wifi on. If I turn wifi off, the song plays just fine.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Delete the song and redownload it by
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I have Cds on my itunes but I can't play them on my ipad. I can only play the songs I bought from the store. Is this an iOs7 thing?

    I have downloaded multiple Cds that I buy on my itunes and I could play them perfectly well on my ipad. When I downloaded the new operating system, my albums won't play. The songs just skip without playing. Is this normal?

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • I just upgraded my itunes and now it doesn't play my music

    It seems only music I've purchased are playing; the rest does not.

    Because that app is no longer included in the iOS. You have to go to the App store and purchase the free YouTube app.

  • My iphone does not work was downloading an update and now I get only the itunes and usb icon and follow all the steps and I get itunes still does not work

    please help me ...!!!

    The Sad face icon is usually a very good indication of a hardware malfunction or failure usually with the iPod's Hard Drive, which would also explain the loud clicking noise you are hearing.
    I assume you have seen this article yet?

  • I just downloaded an album off of itunes and now it will not play all the way through. how do i fix the unfinished songs

    i downloaded tragic kingdom by no doubt and about four of tthe songs will play about forty seconds in and switch to the next song, they do not play all the way through. i went through troubleshooting online but it was unhelpful and did not fix my problem. i need help, please!

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • I have recently downloaded osx lion on my mac and now it is running incredibly slow? Does anyone have any suggestions

    I have recently downloaded OSX Mountain Lion and my computer is running considerably slower? Anyone have any suggestions?

    It will run slow for a few hours as the new install will index your entire hard disk(s), as well as do a complete Time Machine backup if you're using that. Click on the Spotlight icon on the top right of your screen. Is there a progress bar that says its indexing (and if you're using Time Machine, is the TM icon in the menubar spinning)? If so, just wait for those to complete and things should be back to normal.
    Also be sure to run Software Update and manually update any 3rd party apps, many of which may not work correctly under Mountain Lion and could cause slowdowns.
    Other common causes and solutions of slow running can be found here:
