My AppleTV only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes.  I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's that I am pulling my hair out to figure out how to play them.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  Thanks

Your music library needs to be in iTunes on a Mac or PC. In iTunes enable Home Sharing and you should see your music library and playlists on the Apple TV. Both the computer and ATV have to be on the same WiFi network.
See the following page on Home Sharing.

  • My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address.  How do I play the music that I have purchased?  My account is current with the new email address.

    You may have already done this, but try de-authorizing your computer (through the iTunes:Store menu) and then re-authorizing it.

  • Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. Anyway, i deleted windows and want another OSX on there instead. How do i make this partition bigger please??

    Hi, I have macbook Pro, running Leopard OS X. I partitioned my hard drive a while ago to install windows and only allowed myself 10 Gig of data. I deleted windows after i realised i wasnt enjoying using it at all and wasted my hard drive. I now decided that i want another OSX on there instead yet i have only allowed myself 10 gb on the partition. I have ben thru some programms but am struggling on making this partition bigger.
    I only want it at 20gb but cant seem to make the partition bigger, only smaller or split it into further partition.
    Is there a way to do this, i have all installation discs from original OSX so think this could help.
    Any help please would be fantastic.
    Thanks Chris

    Hi, dragging the partition will only make smaller, not larger. In disk utility you can only split or make smaller the partitions. Yes i booted from installation disks also but still no help.
    And Brody, I am willing to erase the disc completely, infact jus started doing a backup in order to do so but that failed also. And the information you gave on partition a hard drive, Although very simple and i already know how to do this, but it wont let me make the partition bigger, and i dont want to make a new partition, just enlarge the one i already have, which i dont see possible from disk utility.
    Getting really frustrated now, even backing up is saying no to me. **** external being a douche.
    I dont mind erasing the hard drive but surely this must be doable without deleting the secondary partition back t a single volume, and re partitioning into 2 volumes again.
    Thanks again

    I can open my tools, bookmarks ect. only if I open the Firefox app using the run as administrator. Why and how can I fix this?

    On the profile folder in windows you can right click on the folder and uncheck the "run as an administrator"

  • I have songs in my iTunes library that I burned from CD's. They play in iTunes and will sync with my iPad. They play fine on the iPad.  However, the songs will not sync to my iPhone 4S.  There are now exclamation points next to songs (can't find source).

    I burned cd's in iTunes. The songs were able to sync and play on my iPad. After this, exclamation points appeared in iTunes on my laptop (unable to find source).  They still play in iTunes but will not sync with my iPhone 4S.  Do some cd's have a limit on the number of times you can copy them or is this an iTunes problem.

    KiwiLouisa - I had the same problem.  I was eventually able to distribute my content that was "Not eligible for iCloud" to my iPhone by switching off ITunes Match in both the ITunes app/machine that hosts my library (my Macbook Pro, in this case) as well as on the device to which I wished to distribute my content (my iPhone 6+).  This opened up the option for my device iTunes Music settings for selecting "Entire Music Library".
    After I successfully transferred *ALL* my music and music videos via iTunes sync, I then again switched on ITunes Match in iTunes on my Macbook and on my iPhone.
    This does not change the iCloud status, but at least I have the content on my iPhone.

  • How do i play an audiobook i purchased from itunes on my computer? i cannot get it onto my ipod, how do i play an audiobook i purchased from itunes on my computer? i cannot get it onto my ipod

    I purchased an audiobook from itunes and  i see it in my library but cannot get it onto my ipod nor am i able to listen to it on the computer...any suggestions? obviously i'm a new ipod user lol

    What happens when you try to play it in your iTunes library? Does it appear under the audibooks section?
    Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks from under its Audiobooks configuration tab?  To find this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This should bring you to the Summary tab.  From there, look for the Audibooks tab and make the appropriate configurations to get it over to your iPod.

  • Unable to load/play purchased music in iTunes

    I upgraded to iTunes 7, everything is working great. Today I purchased some songs. They successfully downloaded, and I was able to upload them onto my iPod, where they play just fine. Unfortunately iTunes will NOT play them. The summary tab of "get info" does not contain any of the itunes specific information (purchased by, fairplay version, purchase date, account name, etc...)
    I have deauthorized and reauthorized the computer, did not help. When I try to add the file to the iTunes library it fails without giving an error.
    Any help would be greatly appriecated!

    I'm having this same issue - unable to play any music that I have downloaded from ITMS. I'm asked to authorize my computer, which I do.. I'm told that my computer has been successfully authorized. But when I try to play any song, I'm asked again to authorize my computer - and the cycle starts all over again.
    I have yet to see a post with any sort of attempt at resolving this issue, but I know a lot of people are having it. I emailed tech support, and (surprise, surprise) never heard back.

  • Problems playing purchased music on itunes!!!!

    I just downloaded an entire album.
    I went to play it through itunes and when there's still about three seconds of a song left, it goes right into the next song,....it just blends one into the other!! I tried setting the stopping time for each song and it won't let me! Is there something i'm missing that I can do?
    If not, then what the ****!?? Did I just pay for music that I can't even control and loose three seconds of ech song??!! If so, than this is a total rip off!
    Jason

    Hi Jason,
    Open iTunes preferences and click on the Playback Tab. Make sure the Crossfade option is turned off and your songs should no longer fade into eachother. It you like the feature you can adjust the length of the fade.

  • Playing back music on Itunes stays on 0.00 and counter does not move

    Hi When I try to play any music in Itunes the counter stays at zero 0.00 and does not move along. I found this thread which best describes my problem so appears to affect quite a few others: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1205504&start=30&tstart=0 however I have tried all the possible solutions discussed on there without success. My operating system is XP Pro. This has happened several times in the past and quite frustrating (only a reboot normally fixes it but there has to be a reason why this keeps happening). Music and video plays fine on other media players (same as users in the thread attached). My wife's Itunes also does it and she is running Vista on her laptop. By the way I have the latest Itunes updates/versions etc and have also tried restoring to earlier backups - all without success. It was playing fine the other day with exactly the same updates just not today. Thank you for any help.

    Same here, only it will sync, but extremely slow!

  • All of a sudden, my ipod touch will only recognize/play purchased items. I then have to completely reset the ipod and re-sync. I've had to do this 6 times, and support has been no help.

    So you also rebooted your router correct?  Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

    Just bought a new imac and tried to download all my music from my iPod but it only allow me to download purchased items and not the rest of stuff stored on a previous pc itunes folder. How do I get round this ?

    The simplest way to transfer everything is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

  • ITunes has stopped allowing me to import CDs. if I reboot it will import one, and only one. all was working fine before. the itunes diagnostics have all green lights

    iTunes has stopped allowing me to import CDs. if I reboot it will import one, and only one. all was working fine before. the itunes diagnostics have all green lights

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • I just purchased the apple tv, i have an older tv that does not have an HDMI input.   is there a converter i can get because the itv only have an HDMI output ?  help.

    i just purchased the apple tv, i have an older tv that does not have an HDMI input.   is there a converter i can get because the itv only have an HDMI output ?  help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p.

    I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
    Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
    Thank you a lot in advance.

    I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes:  Latest software versions of everything.  No iPad, iPhone or Touch.  Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this.  The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX.  I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today.  Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped:  Turned off IPV6.  Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX).  Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'.  Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it).  Here's my discoveries:  Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.)  iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts.  So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing).  Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether.  No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED.  That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan.  Works for me, written using Chrome.  The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch.  This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet.  Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.
