I play anything in iTunes. Where is my library?

I just got my new ipad 2, and I uploaded itunes as I was compelled to do. I downloaded some podcasts using iTunes, but now I can't see how to play them on the ipad. When I click iTunes, all I get is the iTunes store. So I can BUY anything I want, but I don't see how to PLAY anything. I know this must be something stupid, but, well, consider the source.
Thanks.

It's not a stupid question if you don't know the answer.
As stated, look in the iPod App. Movies, Videos and TV shows will be stored and viewable in the Videos App and Music will stored in the iPod app.
I would recommend that you download iBooks which is free in the App Store. Then download the iPad 4.3 User Guide Book - also free in the iBooks Store. The book is a wonderfull resource to help you get started.
There is also a bookmark in the Safari App on the iPad that will take you to the user guide.
Here is a link to the pdf version of the user guide.

You can open this pdf in Safari and save in iBooks if you download the app.

Computer won't play music thru itunes, CD's nor library???

itunes will not play anything, and my computer won't play CD's either. It's like it doesn't even recogonize that there is a CD in the drive. I checked and the driver seems to be there in the list of programs, but it won't work. can't import CD's to itunes or play them. but the wierdest part is my computer won't play the music I have in my itunes library either. No go. what could the matter be?

Sometimes, my computer would be a pain and it took me forever to for the CD to load. About the playing music thing I don't know, but I think the not recognizing CDs is pretty normal. Unless you have a really high speed computer, have you tried defragging it?

Since updating my OS I can no longer play anything from iTunes on my mac.

I've updated to Yosemite but now nothing will play on my mac in iTunes. Other videos, music etc seem to be fine but nothing in my library will play.

It's OK. I've managed to cure that problem, only to now encounter another one. Can't get my mac to recognise my iPod now. :-/

ITunes 8.1 will now not burn/import or play anything at all.

Ok since installing the new 8.1 upgrade of iTunes I am now unable to anything at all. First of all a window popped up tp inform me that the drivers could not be found so I couldn't burn so please re-install iTunes. So I did and now not only will it not burn anything, it will not import ( it won't recognise any cd that i put into my drive at all ),it won't recognise my ipod and it won't play anything that is in my music library at all. So is there going to be a repair to this from apple at any point? I now have now way of getting anything onto my ipod at all. I have tried to re-install itunes several times since and still get nothing. It just does not do anything at all!!! Come on apple, this is serious, can someone please sort it?

try removing the iTunes, then do a fresh install and this time check the box for installing both Bonjour for Windows and Quick Time.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11. Big Mistake. Now I can't play anything. I'm on a Windows PC. Any help or suggestions?

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11. Big Mistake. Now I can't play anything from iTunes. When I click on it, it appears to be playing, but no sound at all.
Also, I keep getting asked to "authorize" this computer (which I've been using for more than 2 years). When the dialog box comes up, it includes an e-mail address what I used over 6 years ago. When I attempt to change the e-mail address, it tells me I'm already authorized.
PLEASE HELP! Or, just tell me how to get iTunes 10 back - that works well!

A computer requires authorisation to play content. If you have bought content using 2 Apple IDs over the years you need to authorise the machine for both Apple ID accounts.

Excessive static when playing songs on itune

When playing anything on Itunes whether it is a cd or imported music I got a lot of static. I also hear it if I play a cd, but not on other media such as You Tube.

Are you talking about your earphones when you say "input my speakers"? If so, have you tried testing another pair of earphones to make sure the problem is not the earphones? Do the songs play fine when you play them without the earphones (using the iPhone speaker at the bottom of your phone)? Is the problem with every song you play? If you rule out everything else but the iPhone as being the issue then you may want to visit an Apple store (if available) or a VZW store so they can check the device. You might also want to try taking your music off of the iPhone and then re-syncing them back to the phone to see if that does anything. I would guess that the problem is with the earphones or whatever speakers you may be plugging in. Also...this may seem like an obvious thing but check to make sure that the cable is inserted fully into the iPhone.

My mac book pro has no sound when i try to play music in iTunes

When I try to play music in iTunes, either from my library or the iTunes store there is no sound. Anywhere else the sound is fine. This just happens in tunes. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much - that was the problem. We just got apple TV and that was device selected. Once I changed the selection to the macbook, problem solved.
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my plea for help.

HT1711 ITUNES WONT PLAY ANYTHING ***????

ITUNES WONT PLAY ANYTHING ***??????? HELP MUSIC WITHDRAWAL ARE I

Hello choefer_fish,
It sounds like you have some video files in iTunes that do not play when you select them in the program, but do play when you double click the files themselves. I would start by checking to see that iTunes is accessing the correct iTunes library by checking the Advanced tab of its preferences:
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Click the Advanced pane. iTunes shows the location of your iTunes Media folder.
From: Where are my iTunes files located?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
If the location here matches the location you go to when you double click the files, then I would next use the Consilidate Library command to see if that gets iTunes to see it:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded". Any advice on what I can do in order to watch this movie that I rented a couple of weeks ago?

PLEASE HELP! My Ipod touch will not play anything from or in itunes.

I don't know what to do. For the first 4 months everything was great then all of a sudden my Ipod would no longer play anything from or in itunes. I can not transfer anything from itunes to it either. It looks like it has been transferred on the ipod and in itunes under my device but it will not play anything. I can download directly into the ipod and its fine. I listen to audio books from library sites as well as buy them but now it does not work unless it can go directly in the ipod which library sites need to come from your computer and them be transferred after its downloaded. Can anyone help me? I even have a brand new ipod thinking it was the other one but its not. I have windows 7 64 bit. Also I have uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing changes. Thank you.

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next restore from backup
- Last, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

I have songs on my iPod and iTunes where sections ranging from 40 seconds to 2 minutes do not play. The song status bar indicates the file is still being played but there is no audio. What can I do to repair or replace these files?

If iTunes purchases, delete and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise delete and resync if they play OK in iTunes on the computer

Itunes wont play anything, windows 7

itunes wont play anything.i hit play and it goes to pause but does not count down.im guessing it is because of the update that i did to itunes.please help.

I am having the same problem and that didn't fix it.
I purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the install file. When I double click the icon nothing happens.
I Downloaded the install cleanup utility and ran that (nothing with itunes in it).
I Downgraded the UAC to the lowest security setting.
I re-downloaded the install file and tried again.
I deleted all the temp files in the user file folder.
I made the install file compatible with Windows Vista (SP 2).
Still nothing. I double click (or right click and run as administrator) and nothing happens.
