I cannot get music to play on iPad speakers

I just purchased a used iPad. 3rd gen. I cannot get music downloaded from my iTunes account to play on the speakers. Siri works. Sound on alerts works. But nothing from music I have downloaded. What is more confusing is volume buttons don't do anything and no sound bar appears in the control center. Thoughts?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iDevice?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

I cannot get music to play on my iPhoto slideshows.

Using OSX, itunes 10 and iphoto 9 .
I cannot get music to play on iphoto slideshows. It never used to be a problem before OS10.
Desperate and would really appreciate any help.
many thanks
<Edited by Host>

You may access your iTunes music iin iphoto
You may also access it in other apps - like iMovie
If - for some reason - you can access the music in iMovie but not in iPhoto, then the issue is with iPhoto.
If you can't access it in either then the issue is with iTunes.

Cannot get music to play

I have linked my ipod touch 4th gen to my computer the other day and now i cannot get any music to play. Everytime i try to play a song it automatically pauses and it is annoying me. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to restart your iPod as per these instructions: Restart iOS devices
If that doesn't work, simply restore your iPod to factory settings via your iTuens. Make sure that all your iPod music is already within your iTunes library.

Cannot Get Music To Play Through CD Player!

Hey guys, I am new to mac but have used iTunes for years. I know how to burn a cd off of itunes, even though I have never done so before, problem is I can't get it to play in my cd player! I have changed the format of the songs to mp3 but my cd player does not play mp3. My boyfriend has a mp3 player in his car and it worked, so I know itunes isn't totally screwing up. So what format do I need to have the songs in in order for it to play?? I have done it also through the default (AAC) and even WAV but when I put the cd in the player there is nothing there, just dead aire! PLEASE HELP

I have changed the format of the songs to mp3 but my cd player does not play mp3.
If your CD player will not play MP3 files, don't use MP3 files.
So what format do I need to have the songs in in order for it to play??
Select Audio CD for the format when you burn.

Can't get music to play on iPad air

Yesterday I got an iPad air as an early Christmas present. Hooray! However, I put close to 3000 songs on it yesterday, and only around 200 of them will play. I'm assuming this is because 99% of my music was NOT purchased through iTunes. Is this the case? Also, are there apps I can download to use in lue of iTunes in case I can't solve this a different way?

You should post in the ipad forum. This is the iphone forum.
"I'm assuming this is because 99% of my music was NOT purchased through iTunes. Is this the case?"
No.

I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

New to the community here, thanks for your patience. I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
Thanks so much.
Dan

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

I cannot get music to play on any dock

IPod touch 4 Gen. I can use earphone fine, my dock can forward the touch etc but no sound. Same on both my logic and Bose docks. Worked ok until a short while ago. I am on best update I can, 6.1.6. Anyone any ideas? Cheers Jules

Did it stop working when you updated the iOS on your iPod?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT4352 I cannot get any sound on my iPad when home sharing, yet do have sound when playing iTunes that I have loaded, please help?

I cannot get any sound on my iPad when using the remote app for home sharing, yet do have sound when I play iTunes that I have loaded on my iPad, please help?

You were on the right track. You got the connect to iTunes screen and you ended to use iTujes to restore your iPad. Try recovery mode again.
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
 Cheers, Tom

Can't Get Music to Play in LR2 Slideshow

I cannot get LR2 to play songs from my playlist in iTunes on my Mac. I've read through the threads on this forum, refreshed the list on LR's slideshow section, tried repairing permissions, created new playlists in iTunes-- still no success. Does it matter that the songs are ACC files? (I'd think that that is correct for a Mac, but am I overlooking something?)
Maybe my iTunes selection isn't local enough for LR2. As an example, I have one of the selected songs under Mac HD:Users:Me:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music:Marc Shaiman:The American President:End Title.m4a. Should it be placed elsewhere to make LR "see" the selection?
Any help would be appreciated!

Does it matter that the songs are ACC files?
You mean aac? No those play fine on my machine, as well as mp3 files. AFAICT it will work for any format that iTunes can play, even protected files.
I have one of the selected songs under Mac HD:Users:Me:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music:Marc Shaiman:The American President:End Title.m4a. Should it be placed elsewhere to make LR "see" the selection?
The iTunes folder should be in the default location (which yours appears to be, apart from the non-standard drive name) for Lightroom to see the playlists. But the most important thing is extremely simple. iTunes has to already be running. Lightroom as of version 2 somewhere simply sends a play command to iTunes. This allows you to play anything in your iTunes Library now, even protected files bought from the iTunes store before they went completely DRM free. Sometimes I've noticed that you need to have already played the starting song for a little in iTunes before it will work correctly.
Now, I have to say that Lightroom's slideshow module is really quite useless. I usually just export jpegs and run a slideshow in iPhoto or Aperture. Far higher quality (Lightroom's slideshow is always quite fuzzy, no matter what kind of preview you generated), better iTunes support, and far more versatile in general.

Hi Jlhall88,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
You can delete the movie prior to the expiration date if you want to make more space on your hard drive, iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. However, the movie will automatically disappear from your iTunes library 24 (or 48) hours after you've begun viewing it.
What happens to my rented movie if don't watch it?
If you don't watch your rented movie, it will expire in 30 days and disappear from your iTunes library. You will need to rent it again in order to watch it.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
- Judy

What happened is that my internet connection was not good so i downloaded .ipsw file from a torrent but now i cannot get it to update my ipad because ios 5.0.1 is out i tried copying files to ipad updates in the itunes folder but no help

what happened is that my internet connection was not good so i downloaded .ipsw file from a torrent but now i cannot get it to update my ipad because ios 5.0.1 is out i tried copying files to ipad updates in the itunes folder but it still asked me to download a 700mb software update
plz help

If you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.
