I can't alter any music on my 5s through itunes.

I can't alter any music on my 5s through itunes. I'm not sure if it's to do with the latest update or because i had my laptop re-installed. Any help would be great!!

When you reinstalled Windows on your laptop, did you include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data before doing so?
If you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, what happens when syncing? Any error message provided?

Updated to iTunes 7 and can no longer play music off my iPod through iTunes

The title says it all. I can no longer play music from my iPod through iTunes now that I have upgraded. When I click on my iPod there is a little black lock beside where it shows the disk usage.
anyone have any ideas. I like some of the new features of this version of iTunes but it really seems to be a few steps backwards.

That little lock usually indicates that the iPod is set to autosync. In order to play iPod content through iTunes, you have to be on manual sync.

I have been trying to upload more music to my iphone 3gs but whenever i try to even click on the artist or name buttons in itune they dont get highlighted or anything all i can do is play music from my phone through itunes ...

Success!! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apple support really did come through and I am successfully back into my account. Ready to purchase more music. I followed the instructions, with patience I thought I lost, submitted my problem, someone emailed me back within two days and all is now perfect. Thanks again Apple.
To all the frustrated users out there, don't lose hope!!!

Can I play the music on Apple TV through iTunes?

OK, this is not easy to explain, hope this makes sense:
My Apple TV is connected both to my TV and to my HiFi System. In order to listen to music, I always have to switch the TV on and navigate through the Apple TV Menu.
Would it be possible to select and play the music on my Apple TV directly through iTunes on my iMac which is synced to the Apple TV?
This way I wouldn't always have to turn the TV on and fiddle around with the tiny remote control, when I just want to listen to some music through my HiFi system.
Basically what I am looking for is to open iTunes on my Mac, click on Apple TV on the left under devices and just click on any title or playlist to play it over Apple TV.
Any ideas and help are greatly appreciated!
Sorry if I made it sound more complicated than it is, my english is not that fluent anymore...

Chenks and OP; yes, I do this a lot without the TV on. I just use the ATV as an Airtunes client sending the sound from iTunes to it with the remote speaker choice at the bottom right. Just turn on the amp, leave the TV off and navigate on the computer. But, the OP says he wants to choose a playlist etc under the ATV icon, that won't work, he'll have to make his music selections in iTunes as though he is using the computer to listen.

I can't buy any music on my MacBook in iTunes

When I try to purchase music in iTunes I am prompted for my password. Once I enter it correctly, the prompt disappears and then reappears right after with my password not filled in. I enter it correctly each time and each time it just keeps prompting me to reenter my password. I use my password on my apple and my iphone correctly and it works just fine. The problem is only on my MacBook. If I enter the password incorrectly in iTunes on my Macbook, it delivers a read message in the prompt telling me it was entered incorrectly. When I enter it correctly, it simply recycles back to the same prompt. My iTunes is complete upgraded to the latest version, as is my MacBook. Please, advise.

Hi ...
Restart your Mac then try purchasing again.
If that doesn't help, on your Mac open iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click to Reset warnings and Reset cache then click OK.
Quit and reluanch iTunes then try purchasing music.

ITunes 9... I can't buy any music!

I want to buy some music... I really do... but I can't! iTunes hangs when I want to view an album, hit the "back" button, or do much of anything in the iTunes Store. It says it is accessing the iTunes Store, and the progress bar goes about half way, then stops. Eventually it times out and drops the action. Very slow. Anyone else have this problem? It seems very buggy, I'm suprised this was released this way.

i just upgraded to v9, and now i can't buy any music either. i get "accessing itunes store" when i hit "buy this," then it just hangs.
the last time i upgraded itunes, it refused to recognize my iphone, so i couldn't upgrade to iphone os3. the apple store geniuses and apple support told me i was the only one having this problem - then a week later apple issued a general fix for "problems with recognizing devices." hmmm.....
so, i'm thinking i agree with you- let's wait a bit when releasing new versions - this is tedious.

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

I have an I phone 3g and I downloaded the newest software and I can't get any music to play. I can't change my playlists and the songs I have on the phone just get skipped over. What can I do to correct this?

it recognizes the iPOD but I can't get any of the new songs to import to the iPOD
are you getting an error message, Odessa? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
if you're not getting an error message, describe what happens when you try to transfer songs to the ipod as best you can.

HT1386 I have a brand new Iphone 5, I use Itunes 10.7 I can not get any music on my Iphone,

I have a new Iphone 5
Add a new music cd to the library and then sync music
Also tried manual
TRied on several computers for some hours and evenings
Can not get any music on my Iphone at all
Sometimes I get informed that after copy some are not copied as they have the wrong formet
Also tried with a new CD
No fault during sync, but no music

Good.
Three things come to mind:
1. I think you're implying when you travel away from your home to a more populated area, the cellular coverage improves and your iPhone works well. Is that right?
2. Do you have a case or some other obstruction over or near your iPhone's antenna? Have you tried moving or removing any possible obstructions near the antenna?
3. AT&T has a (free) app in the App Store called "Mark the Spot". You can use this app to report voice and/or data issues to AT&T, as well as keep up on progress they may be making in improving coverage in your area. Your trouble reports are geotagged (if you wish).

HT1222 Having trouble updating to 11.1 on my iPhone 5 and I can't download any music from iTunes to my iPhone because it says I don't have 11.1

Having trouble updating to 11.1 on my iPhone 5 and I can't download any music from iTunes to my iPhone because it says I don't have 11.1? How can I update iTunes on iPhone?

You update iTunes on your computer to 11.1.

Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
Thanks
Jay

+If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?

I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I can't sync any music into my iPhone 3G

In the case of Calendars, Contacts and Mail, they sync right. But when I try to sync my music, nothing happens. iTunes unmounts the iPhone in the exact moment that it is going to sync my songs.
The automatic sync I can't afford it, because I have 20 gb of songs in my Library. In the first sync, iPhone made immediatly a especial playlist in itunes, from which it is suppose to be sync from, right? I decided to arrange later that Playlist deleting some songs and let it below the 10 gb rate. And nothing happens, I have still empty the iPod app within iPhone 3G.
Any clues?
Thanx!

I can't download any music from itunes, says there is not enough memory to support the download

I can not download any music from itunes, little box pops up and says there is not enough memeory to download?

iCloud storage has absolutely nothing to do with local storage. You need to free up space on the iPad in order to download the movies. You can transfer some content into iTunes and then delete it from the iPad in order to make room on the device.
Settings>General>Usage>Storage is where you delete content if you want to do it in there.

Can't play any music on PC any more

Hi there
I have 5800 CWM phone and the CWM licence expired in October 2010. Tthat's fine, as I was able to keep playing the music I had downloaded on both my registered PC and the phone itself.
After a little while I could no longer transfer music from PC to phone. I have about 20GB of music and the phone has about 5GB of space for music so periodically I would transfer different stuff to the phone.
Then I started being unable to play some songs on the PC at all - licence problems for some songs while others would play OK.
Now I can not play any music on the PC at all. I'm getting an error messge saying there is no licence, then an optimistic message saying "Your licence is being delivered" which would not happen. Then I would get a message saying I needed to delete the song/album and redownload it from my download history. I can see my download history but no longer have an option to re-download it - I can only buy it.
Additionally I am now getting a messge saying that "We can't sign you in" and that I need an OVI Music account which I already have. I can login to Ovi.com with it just fine.
This is starting to get really tiresome. From having a handset which i could download any music for a year and keep after the year was up, on both the PC and the phone. I now only have the music that is already on the phone. The remaining music I can't access and indeed can't play any of it at all on the PC.
Does anyone else have this kind of problem that has been fixed? BTW it is now a level 3 support problem with no fix in sight. Sorry for the long post.
Cheers

Update
(Apologies if this sounds familiar to anyone0
Finally got the first part of the problem fixed. Though Ovi player said it was my registered PC, it was not. Nokia support (2nd level?) reset it so I can now see my Download History.
All was fine initially - started re-downloading all the albums I had downloaded and which no longer worked.
Fine for stuff after Oct 2010. Anything older than that I cannot download the album with 1 click, and instead have to download each individual track one at a time, then navigate away from that page, then back again to get track 2 etc etc. Which is about a 30sec round trip for each track. I had about 519 albums with about 8000 songs lots of classical) so that's 4000 minutes for me sat here manually downloading everything again.
Then, I thought I could use the website ovi.com instead to download music, rather than Ovi player, but... when I logged in there it claims that I am not using my registered PC (though I have the Ovi player open on the same PC saying it is registered).
Just being able to download the albums in one go would be nice. Not as nice as not having to do it at all, but it would be good nonetheless.
Even having a REFRESH option on the download history page would be nice. Or navigation to pages at the TOPas well as the bottom of the page.
It really starts to look like it is designed to be so frustrating that people eventually don't bother any more. It'll take me months (at 1 hour a day) to manually download all the stuff I used to have.
Rant over.
