I can´t play songs on my pc anymore. why?

When i press the "play"-button to start the selected song, it doen´t work. Same thing, when making a double click in the playlist.

You probably will need to ask on a WIndows-oriented web site how to get playthrough from the computer's audio input to the computer's speakers. This doesn't appear to be an iPod issue, per se.
Regards.

Can't play videos in iphoto library anymore, why?

I'm running OS 10.6.8 with iPhoto 7.1.5. Nothing has changed with my camera and codecs that the Canon uses. I was previously able to play videos in iphoto. I think quicktime was linked but this is no longer the case. In order to play them I have to export as an original to the desktop and open the file via quicktime. This seems ridiculous since it worked before. What have I done? .....or what has Apple done? Thanks for your help.

How can I help?
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

Macbook Pro will only allow AirPlay to play through iTunes, therefore I can't play songs through Safari

Macbook Pro will only allow AirPlay to play through iTunes, therefore I can't play songs through Safari. I have tried going on to the Sound settings and selecting AirPort Express but its just jumps back to internal speakers. Its WELL ANNOYING! Any ideas?

This is normal.
To be able to play any audio source on your MacBook Pro, you might want to take a look at an application like Airfoil. More info below:

Downloaded songs from iCloud to touch, but can't play songs without wifi. Defeats the purpose.

Check the Music App on the iPad.

I can only play songs from the cloud that are checked with a dark checkmark-I have many other songs with a faint check that don't play

Restoring from backup will result in the iPod being like it was when the backup was made. If you restore via iTunes, you have to have all the synced media in your iTunes library since those are not included in the iPod backup.

Let's double-check your AX's settings...
To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
- Wireless Network: <select your Belkin wireless network>
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
- Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Hi Kevin,
Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
If not, sign on to iTunes.
Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
Cheers,

Can't Play Songs I Purchased

Hi guys,
A long time ago I purchased songs on iTunes with an old Apple ID. Then I bought a new computer, transferred the songs I purchased and I was able to play them (I don't know what I did because I already had my new apple ID at this time). I recently formatted my laptop, put my music back and when I try to listen to my songs I purchased a while ago, a window pops up asking me to identify myself. The problem is it shows my old Apple ID that does not exist anymore. I click "Forgot Password" then it takes me to the Apple website, says that this Apple ID expired and ask me to put the new one. I do, it works. But back into iTunes, I still can't play those songs cause it will ask me to authorize my computer to play them, again.
What can I do?
May thanks in advance!
Vinny.

Can't play songs after importing

I bought a new computer and imported all my music files from a thumb drive. Now when I try to play songs in ITunes I get an error message saying the song can not be played because the original file cannot be located.

You don't need the thumb drive connected to do the test, all you want to know is where itunes thinks the music files are located.
The tracks should play if the thumb drive is plugged in and has the same drive letter as it had when you added the tracks.
Presumably M: the thumb drive?
Now to confirm what has happened, go to Preferences on the edit menu.
If you don 't see the iTunes menu, press CTRL B to get it.
Look on the advanced tab.
Is "copy to iTunes music folder when adding to library" checked?
If it is not, this confirms the problem.

Upgraded to Itunes 6.01 and can't play songs

I updated to Itunes 6.01 and now I can't play any music be it the music store or my ipod. I did the troubleshooting for windows xp and it still doesn't work. Please help!

yes, i have the same problem after upgrading to 6.0.1.3.
Not only will the songs not play, but the scroll bars disappeared from itunes (just a black space there now), and when I go to the itunes store, anywhere where there is a graphic I see a broken chain link symbol.
I have changed compatibility and uninstalled and reinstalled several times but nothing is working.

Can't play songs from nano while in iTunes

When my nano is connected to my PowerBook G4, all of the songs on the nano are displayed, but they are grayed-out and I can't play them or add more songs to the nano or anything. Is this how it's supposed to work?
Thanks in advance!

Thats the same way that the mini works/worked... you've set up the iPod to sync with a playlist or your Library and it 'locks' the iPod... If you want to change whats on the iPod you alter the playlist's on your computer that the iPod is sync'd to (just dont delete the songs from your library)... Next time you dock the 'pod it'll update the change in songs.
If you want to have it unlocked you set it up on your computer to not 'auto-update'. The songs then will not be grey-ed out and it works more like a conventinal play list as in you drag and drop onto the iPod icon and delete from the iPod itself.
I think that if you pluged it into someone else's computer you cant play the songs because they don't own them (have the same library). I know you can do that of the full size iPod but not of the Shuffle (it gives you a message about the other computer's library being different and you'll have to wipe your iPod if you want to use the new library) I haven't tried with my mini. There are programs that let you take music off your iPod, but I'm Australia and I don't know if they're legal where you are (technically iPods or even iTunes aren't even legal in Australia)
Dont change the FAT32 format of your nano.

Can't play songs from iTunes library on MacBook Pro

I can't play anything from my iTunes (10.0) library on my MacBook Pro. When I try to, I get message that song could not be used as original file could not be found, and offer to locate it, and I end up with an exclamation mark against that file. Any ideas how to fix this?
PS Not having any problems syncing to iPhone and playing music from there.

Iphone will sync or manually manage with one and only one computer at a time.
Syncing or manually managing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new computer.

TS1584 I had my iTunes libray on my old PC, just transferred to my new PC, downloaded iTunes, and my library is there, but can't play songs, says can't locate original files?

I had my iTunes library on my old Dell Inspiron, transferred all info to my new HP Pavilion PC, downloaded iTunes and my library is there, but when I try to play songs, it says can't play because can't locate the original files...how can I activate the songs to play? The iTunes library is also in my Windows media file, and the songs will play in there, but I set iTunes as my default music manager and want the songs activated in my iTunes library so I can play them and sync my iPod. Help? Thanks.

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
