HT204406 iTunes Match wont play music somedays.

It looks like its loading a song and then just starts going from one song to the next not playing them. Anybody else experiencing this? I'd really like to listen to some music at my desk again!

Does Squabble's suggestion in the following topic also help with your audio problems?
Possible issue with Direct Sound on Windows 8.1

HT204406 iTunes Match "ate" my music

When I recently went on a 2 month overseas holiday I noted that my laptop could only access my music when I had Internet conncetion. I think that is plain silly, not all of the world has Internet fast enough to support that.
I disabled iTunes Match and all my music files i.e. the ones I did not purchase in iTunes, have disappeared. Where is my music, how do I get it back and I do not want iTunes Match back. Many thanks, Goran

This is a known problem with iTunes Match. Why don't you search the iTunes Match section for other posts like yours? There have been dozens and dozend of them.

Itunes match wont work, music never shows on my iphone.

i recently purchased itunes match, and it never fully uploads my music from my computer. it gets about 95% though the process, errors out, and makes me sign out, and back in to retry. it also states that over 5,000 songs are "now available" yet they never show on my iphone... any ideas?

If you delete the music from the iPhone, yes. But perhaps you should be looking at what else is taking of storage on the iPhone, back it up, and delete those things as well.

Message pops up on iTunes and wont play music.

"iTunes has detected that it is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Programs control panel to fix this?"
So I went but I dont know how to fix this.
I have Windows Vista... just in case that might help.
Then I noticed that no music will play at all on my computer.
Not even online.
What do I do?
My computer was working perfectly yesterday.
I remember listening to music any advice?

+Then I noticed that no music will play at all on my computer.+
Can you play anything using Windows Media Player? If not, go to start > help & support becuase it is a windows problem, not something for the apple discussions boards.

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

Shuffle wont play music from itunes 5.0

I loaded itunes 5.0 but the ipod wont play music from it.
any ideas why?

I am having the exact same problem - does the music show up on your iPod but the iPod just skips right over it?

ITunes Match only plays songs that were uploaded to the Cloud

I posted this once before back a couple of months ago and never did get it working.
I have an iPhone 4s and I purchased iTunes match about a year ago. My library was about 5,000 songs. I was able to use iTunes Match flawlessly on cellular or WiFi and play any of my music. Then I upgraded to iOS7, big mistake. Ever since that upgrade back in September, when I am on cellular I can only play music that was not matched but uploaded to the cloud. For example, when in my car I can play a live Phish show that I added to iTunes and that was uploaded to the cloud when I updated iTunes Match from my laptop, but I can't play the Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers because it was matched and not uploaded.
I have reset the phone to factory and manullay installed my apps again. I have turned off match and reset my phone, crossed my fingers, etc...
What happens when I try to play a "matched album" on cellular, it acts like it is going to play but sits at 0:00 for about 20 seconds and then skips ahead and attempts to play the next track. Everything plays fine on WiFi.
Has anyone lese had this issue and if so any suggesttions? I am so frustrated with the whole experience right now. I just went to the support page to submit a ticket to Apple and apparently I don't have support anymore because I have the phone for a year. I don't what to do.

Another oddity I just discovered is that if I turn on wifi hotspot on my phone and connect my iMac to my phone's 3G service then iTunes on my iMac will stream music just fine from iTunes match (yes, the music was only in the cloud, not on my drive).
I've tried everything I can think of to get iTunes Match to play tracks over cellular.. including totally deauthorizing all my computers and devices, totally removing all tracks my itunes match in the cloud and re-scanning/uploading everything. Purchased new tracks, and they won't play unless they are downloaded. But they will play just fine when previeing them for purchase in iTunes app.

My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

I have same issue with iPad3. all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes. maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn. I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
I have restarted.
I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back! iCloud restore was perfect. I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
please advise.
thanks,
phil

AE wont play music... Airtunes

Hello forum!!! my setup a 2TB Time Capsule and 2 Airport Express that are extending my network via wifi. my problem is that both AE wont play music.. i have to restart both AE or just unplug them to work. In itunes i do select the speaker and it says it working but no audio output and also it give me an error which i could not find here -16005.
any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Hi.
There have been a number of threads on the topic of iTunes [you don't mention iTunes, but I assume that is what you are using...] no longer being able to connect or play reliably to speakers through AirPort Expresses using AirTunes. This was happening to me as well. [I have no Time Capsule experience so I can't comment on that or possible interactions...]
But re connecting and playing music, I found this thread this morning:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2184595
and this solved it for me immediately.
The solution described turns off IPv6 { in System Preferences > Network [Ethernet] (Adavanced) > [TCP/IP] Configure IPv6 -Off- }, so I don't know if this work around will result in difficulties in a few years time when IPv6 may become unavoidable. [see article: http://www.ipv6actnow.org/info/what-is-ipv6/.
The problem with not being able to connect with iTunes was all the more frustrating because I had no problem connecting to any of my AXes using Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil [http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil>, and still can having turned off IPv6.
*// Airfoil allows you to stream ANY sound source from you Mac to any of your AXes, and also any networked Mac or PC (after installing a free client on those machines...) [I have no affiliation with Rogie Amoeba!] //*
This "IPv6 Off" fix also allows Remote on the iPhone to work properly again.
Hope this helps.

ICloud Match, cannot play music.

iCloud Match, cannot play music. I have had the service from day one, no can play now!

You might need to try signing out of iTunes Match, then back in.
