HT5848 iTunes Radio no longer plays any songs. Just skips repeatedly.

I changed my Apple ID password and now my iTunes Radio does not work in any of my Apple devices.
I have a MacBook, iPad, and iPhone and iTunes Radio used to work great on all of them before I decided to change my password.
Now, whichever stations I choose to play, it just keeps skipping songs after songs for very long time and it doesn't try to even play a song.
In fact, it slows down my iPad Air and iPhone 5S as it continues to skips songs in the background by the way the icons' animates.
I have to close the music app from the multitasking to get it back from the slowness.
This also happens with the feature stations on the top, but it can only play the ads.
I am an iTunes Match subscriber, so I do not get ad on my regular stations.
I tried to use my Aple ID in my sister's iPad and it does the same thing. It still skips for so long without any playing any songs.
However, if I put my sister's Apple ID to my devices, iTunes Radio works fine.
I think it has to do with my Apple ID and it is frustrating that I cannot use part of the service I paid for.
I hope someone here can give an insight with what I am having trouble with. Thanks.

HI David - I actually had started another post on this same topic, and it was suggested there to 'update' all of your iTunes informatIon, although you don't really have anything,to change. This seemed to work for a short time for me, and then the skipping started again. I then had skip free radio for like a week, and then it started again yesterday. Today, I'm listening without issue. And yes, I use Cox too. I messaged them on FB, to which they sent me an article on an App Store outage that happened a few weeks ago, as well as a link to Apple on how to turn off the shake feature so to skip a song. I told them neither of those applied to my issue, and they told me to call Customer Serice and I just didn't have time for that. So I just let it come and go, but I'm convinced it's more of an ISP/Cox issue.

Update!
This is what I did to fix both the skipping songs problem and the iPod verifying forever & not able to restore problem (because of iTunes 9):
a) I used Disk Utility to reformat my iPod while in Disk Mode using the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
and here:
http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml#backup
b) Do not unplug your iPod after reformatting (mine showed up as a firewire disk) - simply launch iTunes ( I went back to 8.2) and follow the Restore instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
iPod is recognized, syncs and doesn't skip songs anymore after that miserable experience with iTunes 9!!!

Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
There are two things to try before you upgrade:

Itunes will no longer play any film?

I have recently reinstalled and authorized Itunes on my computer but i can no longer play any films which i have previoulsy paid for and downloaded?
any ideas?
Thank you,
james

You get this message because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
Do any of these aply to you?

What can I do when iTunes radio does not play a song?

This is what I'm seeing in iTunes 11.1.2.32 Windows (Win7 x64): Sometimes, iTunes radio will show the next song to play, but the bar is in barberpole like formation (i.e. it seems to be downloading/streaming) but it does nothing. It'll sit like this forever if I let it. To my knowledge this happens 100% after a commercial, and sometimes after songs. I could hit the next button, but I also understand that this takes away one of my skip options-- which means I'll run out of options. What are the options, and is this a bug?

Never mind, it had something to do with conflicting sound enhancements. Weird, but okay.

Itunes will no longer play most songs...How do I fix?

For the past two months or so itunes has increasingly been able to play less of my songs in any of my playlists. Essentially, I will click on the song, and nothing will happen. There does not seem to be any reason for it either. Some are downloaded songs, and some are from my CD's. It simply does nothing when I click on them to play. I cannot play the songs with any other media player either. It tells me that the songs are unrecognizable. The songs no longer play on the ipod touch either. How can this be fixed?

Now this is really weird. I believe all of the .mp3 files play without issue. Most of the .m4p files do not play, but some will play on itunes, but some are playing on my ipod touch. None of the .m4a files play on anything. itunes will do nothing but not play the song. If I use a different media player on one of the songs not working, it will deliver an error message saying the file is unrecognizable. One thing is for sure, all of my songs worked fine a few months ago. Now, the probelm is progressively getting worse by the day.

ITunes will no longer play a song I bought

I bought some music a while back. Then I updated my OS from XP to XP Pro. Now, iTunes tells me that I am no longer licensed to play that song. I try to double click through on the song to re-license it. The iTunes store acts like it is working to license it then tells me that I am licensed to play it on 1 of 5 computers again.... and then gives me an error "Unknown error (-208). Please try again later"
Is there away around this? I could spend the $1 to download again but it is the principle...

Itunes radio doesn't play whole song

Hi,
I'm new to iTunes, so if this is a stupid question please excuse me.
I'm using iTunes radio and I"m noticing that many of the songs are not being played completely. Is this normal?
Thanks,
James

Hi KungFusion,
I tried playing several streams from the posted website, and all 'wanted' to be played within Safari using a Windows Media Player plug-in. I could not get them to play in iTunes. It may be that you will have to download and use Windows Media Player for Mac. If you want to hear them thru Airport and the Airport Express, you will need to use an application called Airfoil http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/airfoil.html. Hope this is helpful. Check the Airport Express discussions also for help.

I have lost all sound on macbook pro 10.6 and in ITunes can no longer play any cinema or tv shows purchased. I believe it may have been caused by recent use of mini-display port Toslink Audio to the TV. What can be done?

I no longer have any sound on my macbookpro 10.6.8, not even beginning chime.
Furthermore, I find that I no longer have any images as well as no sound, from any
of my Itunes cinema, tv show purchases, etc.
I recently watched last week a couple of tv episodes through my TV
using a Mini Display Port + Toslink Audio purchased at Apple.
I use this device occasionally and haven't had any problems til now.
Any suggestions to right the problem?.

In System Preferences>Sound do you have your internal speakers set as the output source?
You may have toggled on optical output with the Toslink cable - check to see if there's a red light coming from the port. If so, quickly plug and unplug a set of headphones for a number of times to see if you can toggle the switch back from optical to the internal speakers.
Good luck,
Clinton

I have downloaded the new itunes update and cannot play any songs when offline any suggestions on what i need to do?

Recently downloaded the new itunes on a new Mac Air and I can't play any music when I am not online. They all come up with '!' whenever i click on it. Is there a trick to this?

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Apple TV no longer plays any video, just clocks with loading icon

My Apple TV was working fine until about 2 weeks ago. I have CenturyLink high speed ( up to 40MB) internet connection, I can run a speed test on my iphone from the same room and get 32MB download speeds. Apple TV connectivity test shows successful on > 10MB test.
I can not play any video content, I can browse Netflix and YouTube menus and select movies or clips, but when I try to play it will clock continuously. On YouTube it will error out eventually, on Netflix it clocks indefinitely.
Did the last update break my Apple TV?
I've tried restarting, resetting and every other suggestion I have found on the web, even replaced the HDMI cable, but nothing works. This was working fine before and I hadn't made any changes prior to it not working any longer.
Please help.

AFter more searches through the Apple Forum, I found the response below for kplandiles. I updated the firmware on my Centurylink C2000T wireless router and now I am able to play video again!!

This helped meRe: "Can't connect. Try again later." Message on Apple TV.
Dec 24, 2013 6:29 AM (in response to M3mark)
Seems like this has been going around. I had the same issue for days and it turned out that I had to update the firmware on my ISPs modem/router. If you have recently changed ISPs or upgraded your internet service then there might be an issue there. My WiFi is through CenturyLink and their Prism TV service.
Apps like Netflix would function correctly up to the point where they actually try to load the video. After waiting and waiting for the video to load it would eventually time out and offer the "Cant connect - try again later" message. Youtube, PBS, ABC, NBC, TWC, etc. would all time out. Even ITunes Radio failed to connect.
I cant tell you what specifically on the firmware upgrade fixed the problem, though. I had rebooted the router several times without success. I even turned off the firewall on the router to insure that there was no blocking, No joy. Prism TV uses the Technicolor C2000T and that device needed an update.
I joke that CenturyLink intentionally blocked my streaming content so that I could only watch Prism TV and use their "On-Demand" video service. I actually rented a movie on Prism this weekend only because I could not watch what I really wanted to watch on Netflix.
I feel your pain.

ITunes will no longer play any music.

iTunes will open just fine, but when I click play on a song it won't play. The tracking icon won't move at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and the problem still stands. It started when I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. Also, it does the same thing with CDs. iTunes won't play ANYTHING... HELP!

Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes.

ITunes 8 no longer playing certain songs

Hello,
I recently updated my iTunes to v8. Since doing that I find that I cannot play certain tracks in my library that I could before. Some have been downloaded while others were added from a CD. I tried changing the ID tag but that didn't work. I've tired re-loading the album into iTunes and that hasn't worked. The tracks are listed and I do not get a pop up window asking me to find the file. It just won't play. Please advise. Some are favorite songs.

I have to download approval everytime my machine has been turned off, since I updated to latest V8 iTunes. I have tried to remove the iTunes approval completly and then re-approve the machine, but I continue to receive the same error when starting iTunes. So NO music before approval every day !!!
When I login to the shop and ask for approval I get the error that this machine already is approved - and the count don't change but I'm now able to play until the machine is turned off again.
My iPOD makes a similar error as I can do a complete sync of all media - then after approx. 24 hours most of the transfered numbers disapears from the list and another sync is needed before listening to music again is possible.
This is driving me nuts - plz help.

Can see entire library in iTunes but can't play any songs

An exclamation mark "!" appears next to each song in my library. This happens seemingly arbitrarily- sometimes everything is OK- since I installed v 5.0. From what I can tell, the song list is not connecting to the song files...I have no idea why. Has this happened to anyone else?

Disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPad to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
Turn iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Restart your computer. Then reconnect iPad to your computer.
Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTune

I emptied trash with itunes in it accidentally and now can't play any songs on itunes what can i do?

so i needed to clear disk space so i could use imovie more, so i put a load of stuff in trash and emptied it, but somehow i stupidly put itunes there too, so now when on itunes i can't play any songs because it keeps asking me to "Locate" it, which i can't do because it doesn't exist anymore arrrggh! i can't use any of my songs on imovie either, it's very frustrating. If there is any way at all that i could recover the songs so i could play them on itunes then that would be great-
thanks,
Hamish

Hi,
If you don't have a back up, you have lost your music.
If you have iTunes Store purchases, you can go into iTunes Store and redownload previous purchases.
