I get no sound in iTunes. Files, 'play,' but don't?

Music and Videos "play" but there's just no sound. The files will work on my iPad. Drivers, etc up to date. I fear it's something so simple as to be stupid. File associations or some such.
I've scoured the related threads to no avail.
I can hear sound if I go in and fiddle to play a digital movie copy using the HP Media Smart Player, or Windows Media Player.

I accidentally added two .doc files, they show in iTunes file sharing, but don't show on iPad?

I accidentally added two .doc files by dragging and dropping into itunes, under my device, then the app tab, then file sharing for Adobe Reader, they show in iTunes file sharing window, but don't show on iPad 3, and I cannot delete them on iTunes screen? Please help!

First, I would advise you to apply Tao philosophy to this. Given the dysfunction of most software, if this was just an accidental copy and you don't want them on iPad and they are not showing up anyway, what's the problem? Forget it. It's not worth the hassles. I'm more concerned that you have psychological issues you need to be dealing with, not this. You are making much too unnecessary work and stress for yourself.
As for deleting them, I'm assuming you highlighted them and hit delete and it didn't work. If not, it should. Works for me. But if it doesn't, my advice is also not to worry about it, as annoying as the clutter is. It will eventually resolve itself (like when your data files corrupt or your iPad crashes, LOL. (I apologize for my cynicism but I am fed up with dysfunctional software). It's not worth the hassles of trying to figure out petty issues.
As for me, I have the opposite, and very serious problem. I've got Reader on my iPad too. But I can't move the pdfs out of it and onto my laptop with iTunes' dysfunctional file sharing. I get the error "file cannot be copied because you do not have permission to see its contents." I have hundreds of pdfs on my iPad that I converted from web surfing with other programs that also don't work and I can't get them off the iPad for backup and to have a synced library I can access from both laptop and iPad.
I called iTunes twice and both times they blamed it on the app, saying iTunes file sharing doesn't support third party apps and that I should call Adobe and talk them into writing the code that will work with iTunes. Yeah, right. And Reader is not the only problem. This is happening with iAnnotate and Write PDF and other apps.
I suspect that both of us have the root problem, perhaps Apple's greedy refusal to support the apps that it sells in the app store and are quasi-integrated enough to show up in the file sharing documents list, but can't be moved or deleted; and the apps that don't bother to make their apps fully work with iTunes file sharing.
If anyone has any solutions ......

EFI firmware update - I can't get any sound from ITunes now.

I just installed the firmware update with no problems except I-Tunes won't output any sound. It is playing, but no sound comes out through speakers or through the headphone outlet.
I reinstalled ITunes latest version, still no sound output. Checked my sound preferences, still no sound from ITunes.
I do get systems sounds (the beeps and stuff), just not from ITunes.
Anyone had this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Try trashing iTunes preference file (com.apple.iTunes.plist) and repair permissions.

I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files.

I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times Since upgrading to iTunes 11 and Windows 8. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files. Three times. Beginning to lose my temper. Advice? Suggestions? Could the fact that my original library is located on a network drive have anything to do with it? Thanks for your help, all.

Repair security permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7/8 shouldn't be too different.
Repeat for the media folder if it isn't a subfolder of the iTunes folder.

Can't get any sound on ITunes

I cannot get any sound on ITunes (on Windows Vista). I do get sound in YouTube etc. I have re-installed ITunes and run diagnostics - which come out fine. Any suggestions?

Just a guess, but have you checked ALL the volume sliders in your Sound Properties. It's possible one of them, like the WAV slider for instance, might be turned down for some reason.

I have a new iPhone for work, set up on a new iTunes account (PC). I was told i can associate it to my home iTunes account (iMac) but don't know how. I want to save the work related apps as well. Any advice? Thanks

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

I can't get any sound from ITunes. The computer's internal speakers are fine (they play utube sound, for example). And the sound bar on itunes is all the way to the right. Still no sound from the music library. Any insights?

I can't get any sound from my ITunes library. The IMac is set to internal speakers, the volume bar on ITunes itself is all the way to the right, there seems to be no problem with the speakers themselves (they play sound from internet videos, for example), but I can't play music from the ITunes library on the IMac. Please help!

Is it possible that you have iTunes set to send audio through AirPlay to an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or other AirPlay device (which is itself not turned up so you can hear it)?

Why do i get the popup: The iTunes file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available.

Why do i get this popup on my Windows 8 PC: The iTunes file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available. My iPhone will not play in my car since I got this popup.

Can you play music on your phone, while not connected to anything?
- If yes, check with support for your car. Maybe the radio cannot rexognize the iPhone anymore.
- If no, check your pc for free space.
I don't work with W8, maybe it denies iTunes the ability to write files.
Think there has to be made some libary file for the files that are on your phone.
Maybe you are able to download some files you bought in the store to your phone directly. Could try again in your car then.
If you never bought a file, there is a free weekly song every week.
Only have to fill out you membership details.

I want to get rid of my iTunes files

I'm trying to free up my internal hard drive space by putting all of my itunes files on an external hard drive (EHD). I copy/pasted all of them onto my EHD, and deleted the original files from my internal hard drive. I opened iTunes from my EHD once, and it was fine. However, once I opened iTunes from my hard drive (without my EHD being plugged in), there was my entire library. How can I make all my files STAY on my EHD, and only my EHD? I've tried turning off the "automatically copy files to itunes" option, and it still didn't work. I've thought about removing iTunes entirely from my internal, but I'm a little gun shy. Would that work? I'm open to other options as well. THANKS!

In your iTunes preferences, did you point iTunes to the location of the music folder on the EHD? iTunes>preferences>general tab. Also, there are 2 database files associated with iTunes that must stay on your system's HD as that is there home the .xml & .itl files. Even after you do this, you will need to remember to boot up the EHD prior to opening iTunes on your system or iTunes wil revert the music folder location back to the main drive. If you forget, simply close iTunes, start the EHD, then re-open iTunes. Hope this helps.

Audio stops after the first song, iTunes keeps playing but no sound

So if I play anything - the entire library - podcast - or playlist. A few songs (between 1 to 3 songs) will play, but as soon as the song is done and it goes to another song the audio stops. I have Airport express through the house and it stops as well - so it's not the speakers.
If i hit pause then play.. the audio is on again. I can get it to play by selecting a new song as well.
It's pretty annoying.
If I let like 20 songs play all of a sudden on a random song that starts - the audio will come back for 1 song.
Anyone else have this type of issue?

Bumping to top again.
This has really become a terminal problem. Can't play more than a song without having to touch the system to bump back to the beginning of the track, where it plays fine. This can't be limited to my system only--any ideas or thoughts guys?
Thanks in advance.

No Sound from iTunes or CD - But everything else (Web and Movies) is OK

Hi,
I am running iTunes 8.0.1 and can't get any sound when I play any tracks, either downloaded or ripped from CD. It is not the speakers as if I view web pages, I get their sound, as well as when I play film clips stored on my iMac.
I do not have any other speakers connected, neither via cable or airport.
Any ideas...?
Many thanks,

Did you check the little volume slider in the iTunes interface and make sure that it's turned up?

How to unlock itunes files or you don't have write permission for windows 7

I'm using windows 7 and I can't get into itunes. This is what pops up, unlock itunes files or you do not have write permission. Can someone help please?

You need give the exact error message.
If you get a locked disk message when you try to open iTunes, there are a number of possible causes.
Here are some things to try:
Check the permissions on you iTunes folder in music, your account and SYSTEM should have full control.
Permissions help:

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/05/25/how-to-take-ownership-and-grant-permiss ions-in-windows-vista/
If permissions are OK:
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Navigate to your iTunes folder and choose iTunes Library.itl.
If this doesn't work, try recreating your library:

After being open for a while (with several tabs) Firefox becomes generally unresponsive and stops playing sound - videos will still play, but no sound.

This problem has only begun happening recently. I commonly keep my Firefox open overnight with websites like rainymood.com or grooveshark.com playing, as well as several other tabs including but not limited to Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube. Sometimes, after several hours/days of not restarting Firefox or my computer, Firefox begins to become unresponsive - that is to say, pages take a long time to load, opening new tabs is difficult for the browser, and videos will take up to 30 seconds to begin playing. In addition to this, sound will stop playing; if I begin a YouTube video, after the initial period of excessive loading, the video will play, but without any audio. Also, websites such as rainymood.com and grooveshark, even Facebook, will stop making sound.
Note that this is different from a flash plugin crash - when flash crashes, both audio and video become inaccessible and a simple refresh or restart of Firefox will solve the problem. But what is happening here is different; if I refresh the tab, nothing changes, and even if I restart Firefox, it opens again the same way until I restart my computer completely.
Also of note: I have had, in the past, this same thing happen but rainymood.com continued playing, however no other tabs would make sound. The problem is sporadic and I'm not sure where to begin. Also, sometimes this is only a Firefox-specific problem, meaning other programs on my computer can make sounds, but sometimes this problem makes my entire computer stop making sounds, except for Ventrilo, which works but is also unresponsive at first.

You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
