  • Cannot listen or purchase songs under new layout of iTunes 9.0

    Under the new layout I cannot listen or purchase songs. Also the homepage is basically just blank with only the right column with top songs, albums showing. The bizarre thing is that all comes out fine with the pages that have kept the old layout such as iTunesU or some iMix (was even able to download a song). Any help to fix this? Thanks in advance.

    I am having the same problem and saw this in a previous thread -
    1. restored system to yesterday (before I'd attempted the whole update fiasco)
    2. backup itunes library
    3. used revo uninstaller for a complete uninstall
    4. restart
    5. run clean install off new installer download (even though logged in as admin, I also used the right click "run as Admin" option for good measure)
    And voila upgrade
    Yes, it's a pain, but it did work. My best guess is that something was corrupted during the first failed update attempt, which resulted in an incomplete uninstall, thus screwing up the clean install. But that's just speculation...
    I want to do this with mine but don’t know how to “restore system to yesterday”? let me know if you find out how?

  • Cannot restore from back-up after iOS5 upgrade

    First try to restore after upgrade (original uppgrade process) iTunes said last available backup was time-stamped 11.34 but when chosen it was not accessible due to error 32 Backup missing.
    Trying to reset the unit to gain access to older backups iTunes claims my password for the backup is incorrect even though I know it's correct, thus I cannot resore after iOS5 upgrade.
    Looking in the folder (win XP machine) where the back-ups are stored it seems like there are no older backup available and my whole pic and vid library is gone! 2.5 yrs of images of my children!!!
    What to do?

    Sounds similar to my issue, I know my password is correct, even changed password in hopes that perhaps I was making a mistake, yet I wasn't. I backed up all my pix on an alternate computer, but my issue was that I used the voice memo recorder to record songs on the fly when I'm not at home, or just too lazy to hook up my studio gear. . . All that was backed up. . . yet, I'm told I'm entering the wrong password, I know it's not, but I guess I don't know how to type. . . I haven't searched for backup files in any location, other than looking to see if my pix were backing up as it quit syncing pix a couple months ago. No pix were backed up, so I plugged into a different computer, and that pc took em just fine.

  • IPod Nano (2nd generation) stops playing some songs after 30-60 seconds

    I purchased a 2nd generation 2 GB iPod Nano last week (03/13/07) and experienced problem with some songs stopping after 30-60 seconds and then skipping to the next song.
    The songs in question were downloaded in Mp3 format from a CD and they play fine and in their entirity from the iTunes library.
    I tried the 5Rs but with no success. Thinking the iPod Nano was defective, I exchanged it today (03/16/07) however, the same problem persists and with the same songs.
    I tried compressing the songs but that made matters worse, i.e., the play duration shortened and/or the songs didn't play at all.
    Is this an iPod Nano issue or a problem with certain songs? Given that the identical problem exists with two brand new units, I suspect the latter but I don't know what to do.
    The songs are not "read only" or "origin-protected".
    Appreciate any assist.
    Thanks.

    I've experienced the same problem with some songs that will start playing for few seconds but then skip to the next song. This is with songs I've ripped from CDs and transferred from an old computer. I've tried the 5 R's, repeatedly. It does not help. Is there anyway to fix this other than deleting the songs from my computer and re-downloading from CD's? I've got over 1,800 songs on my iPod and really don't want to go through each one to figure out which I need to reload.

  • Cannot listen to itunes music after relocating it to a new computer, Help .....

    I have replaced my computer and have moved my itunes music and playlists to the new computer, but I cannot listen to the music. I received a message that itunes cannot locate the file with the music. How can I find this? During the move I used my external hard drive, put the music and playlists on the hard drive and then retrieved them from the hard drive to the new computer, it looks like alll the playlists and music are there. Also, there is an exclamation point beside the songs. Where does itunes search for the file? Is there a specific place that Itunes looks for the file? I believe that I may have it in 'My Documents' file, should it be in 'My Music' or another file?
    I use this music with my ipod to teach fitness classes, so I don't want to lose it all or have to replace it all. I also need to be able to syn this ipod nano to itunes to update any new music.
    Since I have purchased most of this music from itunes, is it still accessible, as I have already paid for it once.
    Anyone have any suggestions for me to try. Please.

    The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. The way that you've backed up and restored things might have caused iTunes to expect the files to be in the wrong location or layout.
    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. Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library hasn't been restored to the correct place then it might be possbile to move it now you know
    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 .

  • My iPhone 4 no longer plays some songs since iOS5 update, how can i get these songs playing again

    So ever since I installed iOS5 onto my iPhone 4, some of my music wont play (not all, but some), what will happen is, while on shuffle, my music will play a song normally, then get to a song that it for some reason cannot play and either
    a) plays another song, without changing the information about the song, then when the second song is finished playing under the first song's name, it gets to the second song's actual information and stops playing and moves to option b
    b) does not play the song, does not skip the song, but has the play icon in the corner next to the battery, but it doesn't show any time going by on the progress bar of the song, but drains my battery
    when i shake my iPhone after this (i.e. activates the automatic shuffle) if it happens to land on a song it can play, it skips to the next song.
    It is incredibly inconvienient, and i understand that a new operating systems do have bugs, but I would like to be able to fix it as soon as possible
    thanks for the help

    I found a solution recently, (and well, this is the only apple product I own, so i didn't think to post it) basically what you do is follows
    when your iphone is plugged in and you have itunes open, go to the phone page, then to the music page, select sync with library, but then select certain playlists. After that select none of the playlists (removing the music from your phone) and sync, then sync again with the playlists you want selected, and voila! Takes an hour or 2, but you can do it in the background of whatever else you are doing.
    Cheers

  • Can't listen to some songs on my iPhone 5 that can be played on my iTunes

    After updating to the new iTunes and shnchronizing my phone, some of the songs on my phone have the stop sign (pinkish square) to their right  and I can't listen to them. They're in my library on iTunes and I can play them there, just not on my phone.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but they didn't work. This is what appears.

  • Why cannot I play some songs that are present in the playlist on my iPod?

    For Christmas my daughter has received a 2GB iPod nano. Due to having an oldish computer set-up in the home using Windows 98 software I have had to use a Win 98 driver package that I learned about from the iPod Q&A pages which looks to work generally well in combination with RealPlayer 10.5. Obviously as a result of this I cannot use the recommended iTunes package. I do not however believe this to be the source of my problems as Loading files onto the iPod appears to be no problem.
    To date I have only copied CD’s to the iPod and not downloaded tunes from the web or other items. The problem we have is that even with totally official self-purchased CD’s after copying the files from music library in RealPlayer to the iPod, not all tracks are available on playback when played ‘stand-alone’ through the iPod. If I address the file listing through the computer all files are listed with a suitable file size for a complete track (approx 4Mbyte) and all files can be played successfully through the computer from the iPod. However, when playing certain tracks (one or two per album) on the iPod in ‘stand-alone’ mode (detached from the computer) the track starts and then after about 10 to 20 seconds stops and advances to the next track in the track listing. This does not happen when played through the computer where all tracks in total are successfully re-played. Even if the file is deleted from the music library and re-copied, the same problem exists. Why can this be? If the track is there in the iPod memory and accessible, why can it not play it back when in ‘stand alone’ operation? Do you have any experience of this problem and if so please advise what I can do to rectify the issue.

    No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
    Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
    Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

  • Can't authorize some songs after last update

    After the last software update (most recent) I am getting an error that Itunes can't authorize 53 songs and one game for my computer to be played on my ipod. (3rd gen)
    These songs were purchased on my powerbook. Some were even loaded off of a CD. I also can't figure out why the game peggle I bought can't authorize.
    any thoughts?

    iPhoto 9.6 only runs on Yosemite.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HT4623 Im having problems with my music ever since I got the ITunes Match, now I'm not able to listen to some songs and my ipod doesn't want to update the iOS saying something about my network and I'm hooked up to the internet?

    I was just have difficults in different things on my ipod touch 4th gene now that I have ITune Match and it not being able to update the iOS 6.1.5 and as to not sure of what I can do to get it to update and get all my songs back. Because right now I have at least 20 or 30 songs that I cant play now and I'm not sure why. I'm not even able to click on the songs and I wanted to see if there was a way to fix this without restore my ipod and starting over.

    Maybe this:
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • I cannot listen to a song that I purchased and downloaded.

    I downloaded an album to my MacBook. For the song I want to listen to the most, Itunes only plays part of the song and then switches to the next song. How should I rectify this situation?

    On a side note, turn off firewalls.

  • ITunes can't find some songs after update

    So I've read a bit about this and it's happened to me now. I did the recent iTunes upgrade and now random song files can't be found. The " ! "shows up here and there. Now when I search for that particular song, I can find and play it. It's just that maybe it was renamed or something? I cannot manually do this since I have almost 40,000 songs on a separate HD. 99% ripped from my CD collection.
    Why or how does this happen? I've been adding to my iTunes HD for 7 years or so and this was the first time this has happened.
    Anyway I read a few suggestions and so I just deleted all the music from itunes BUT saved the files and now adding all of them back which will probably take 10-15 hours. It says "organizing files" wil it's a very long haul.
    Will this work and will iTunes then again know where all of my songs are?

    Well I researched and had to "delete" the 40,000 songs from my itunes list BUT saved the files. It took 20 hours for them to repair and then were fixed in one place with no "!" What a pain.

  • Vcast Media Manager won't play some songs after Correcting Song Info

    I recently installed Vcast MM 1.1 build 11 (most recent version that I see).
    I imported all my local media into MM just fine.
    However, after using the 'Correct Song Info' feature, several songs no longer play in the MM player.
    Before using this feature, these songs played fine.
    I have not tried playing them yet in another player but I will.
    Is there a known issue with this feature? Is there anything I can do to get these to play in the Vcast MM player once again?
    I like this feature since I have a lot of songs that don't have good info and this is a nice way to correct those.
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks.
     -SR

    Thanks.
    You are correct, I did not change the file type. I only changed the Genre, Album info etc. And I definitely did not change the file location.
    I don't believe the 'Correct Song Info' feature even tries to change the file type. I think it's only meant to change ID3 tag info.

  • ITunes erased all my music while i was listening to some songs using this program

    Hi, people.
    I'd really appreciate if you'll help me.
    I have an ipod touch 4. It was connected to my computer so that it was possible to play music  with Itunes  right from the device. Everything was fine when suddenly playback stopped. I switched to iTunes and saw that:
    1. all songs below the last played track are marked with .
    appears if you try to play any previously played songs.
    In fact, i can't play ANY song at all.
    2. my ipod now has 21 Gb of free space instead of 2 (i had 19 Gb of music...)
    What i'd done already:
    1. opened a "Music" app. Empty.
    2. tried to simply synchronize the device. The only thing changed - itunes showed those 19 Gb of audio. But tracks were still unplayable.
    However, Explorer and iFun Box both show that 21 Gb are still free.
    3. succesfully uploaded one song again. It can be played in itunes and ipod
    Another info that might be useful:
    1. i wasn't using an "auto-sync" function. Only manual updating
    2. all things haven't been moved or even touched (ipod, laptop, cabel)
    3.  i don't have a file named "it.tmp" so https://discussions.apple.com/message/7790048#7790048 is useless.
    4.  itunes version is 11.01
    There is no backup file with music so i really hope that there is some way to restore it =(
    And anyone knows, what the **** happened? o_O

    And no ideas? =(
    Is my problem that unique and strange?

  • Duplicate and quadruple of some songs after download

    I just picked up a new laptop and just downloaded most of my music. Some how I have double and sometimes quadruple of almost every song. Is there an easy way to get rid of the extras prior to downloading to my new Nano?

    Have a look at Teridon's iTunes Scripts, Robert has a script in there for dealing with duplicates which might be of some help: Teridon's iTunes for Windows Scripts
    Just note: The duplicate eliminator in Robert's scripts package only works for these two kinds of duplicates:
    1) Multiple copies of the exact same file (e.g. "Song.mp3" and "Song 1.mp3", where "Song 1.mp3" is simply a copy of Song.mp3
    2) Multiple entries in the iTunes Library for the exact same file.
    The script does nothing for duplicates that are the same song, but different files (e.g. encoded by someone else, has different artwork or other tags, etc.)
    There are also some third party programs out there, like "Dupe Eliminator" that might help in more complicated cases. If you do a quick web search I'm sure you'll find more: Dupe Eliminator
