I-tunes 11.3.1.2 and playing artists or shuffling artists

Hi All,
I wonder if someone is having the same problem as me or knows how to resolve it?
In I-tunes when I select the artists press button (brings up all the artists I have in my library on the left hand side of the screen). I then try to either play or shuffle an artist by right clicking on the artist which then brings up options to either play or shuffle the artist in question. The problem I am having is that most of the time nothing will play when I click on it. I have tried most of the artists in my library and only a few will work using this method.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?
Many thanks

Hi anitablake1,
If you are having connectivity or playback issues with content on your Apple TV after a recent iTunes update, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful. In particular, if you are connecting wirelessly you may want to try connecting via Ethernet (if possible) to rule out the possibility of a network issue.

  • I open iTunes and try and play a song through my mac most of the songs come up locate? then the download from i tunes symbol comes up but when i try and download them it won't work and  also a lot of the songs are missing

    ok at time i open i tunes and try and play a song it says locate when i try and redownload it they don't work or are not on my iTunes !! but my i phone 6 is linked and sinked to this mac and it has all the songs and plays no problem

    Delete the references to them from the iTunes library and then either redownload them from the iTunes Store or use the Transfer Purchases function.

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

    I did restart. Didn't do a rest. Is the rest back to factory settings? Last time I did this, I lost a lot of data. I'm using the Apple headphones that came with my phone. Is there a way to reset without jeopardizing data saved?

  • I was downloading music to my iTunes account and playing music from my I tunes library when all of the sudden it stopped playing and the control panel won't let me restart the music.....why

    I was downloading music cd from my PC to my I tunes library and playing music on the I tunes player at the same time when all of the sudden my music stop playing and I can't get the I tunes player to restart playing music from my library again. The I tunes equalizer / player box with timer shows the song ready to play but the controls won't restart the song.......why not, and how to I get it to restart playing my library?

    - You need to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and start anew.  Is the restore button visable in iTunes?  If it is they restore the iPod.
    - If it is not visible try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If the restore button is still not visable, try placing the iPod in recovry mode.  See:

  • Netflix turns on my I-Tunes and plays a song.

    If I turn on Netflix on my Apple TV, it works  -- but it also turns on my I-Tunes and plays a song.
    I walk over to my computer and turn it off, but it simply happens again next time I use the Apple TV remote.   (I-Tunes, and the first song in my playlist - which happens to be Aerosmith -  simply will not be defeated.  )
    The remote will override my computer's mute button, and even "sleep" mode.  Is there a setting here I need to change?

    If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password))
    If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computerAND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
    To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

    Do all your songs have a check mark?

  • Powermac Dual 1.25 Mirror Drive AE AE to Extend Network and Play Tunes?

    Can I play music from my iTunes on my 1.25 Powermac using two Airport Express'? When the AE first came out Apple Support said my iTunes music had to be stored and playing out of a newer Mac (like my Powerbook) for me to shoot music in iTunes to a second, WDS extended AE. Can I set this music network up using my Powerbook, but use the music library on my 1.25 Powermac to feed the a second WDS AE?
    The fact is my original AE was dead on arrival, so I never got to try this out. I'm thinking about buying a second AE to see if Apple Support might have misunderstood what I was trying to do.
    Can anyone help me? I really don't want my iTunes library running from my Powerbook. I'd much rather use my 1.25 as a music server to a WDS location.

    Hi
    unfortunately processor cards from MDD G4s aren't compatible with Quicksilver (and earlier) G4s as they use slightly different architectures and possibly even different processor sockets. That's partly why OWC (and other third party) processor upgrades cover models from the AGP/Sawtooth G4s upto the Quicksilver 2002 G4s, but aren't compatible with the MDD or FW800 G4s.
    The fastest 'Apple original part' upgrade would be a dual 1GHz from a Quicksilver 2002. I swapped my single 800MHz for a dual 1GHz (pulled from another Quicksilver) and the difference in performance was very worthwhile.
    Having said that though, most benchmarks show a dual processor G4 is around 40% faster than a single processor running at the same clock speed, so I'm not sure a dual 1GHz would be much (if any) faster than a single 1.5GHz. Also which ever processor upgrade you choose, you're still stuck with the same relatively slow 133MHz system bus, which will impact real world performance.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

    How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

    I have this problem too. I am researching now. Here is what I know so far. If you right click a song then get ifo the it will say Protected AAC or purchased AAC. Protected wont play on sonos, purchased will play on sonos. It seems that all my protected were purchased 2005 to 2009 or so. I am trying to find out if apply will convert these for a small dfee or if I use the itunes cloud these tunes will convert for me. downloading and reloading is not an option for me. Pretty much a money grab by apple either way. I am sure Steve is smiling.

    Fixed it. It is on Chevrolet's end. Press config to access the configuration settings. Turn menu/tune knob to highlight vehicle settings. Press menu/tune to select the vehicle settings menu. Choose return to factory settings.

    Provided that you moved the ENTIRE itunes folder...
    Quit iTunes from under the iTunes menu (by the apple), or hold CMD and press Q.  Then, hold Option on your keyboard and click the itunes icon on your dock.  Continue to hold Option and you'll see a popup where you can select "Choose Library".  Navigate to, and select, the itunes folder at its new location.
    If you didn't move the entire itunes library folder, you'll have to be specific about what you did.

  • Importing and playing store bought CDs

    Just got an I Pod Nano & a great sounding Altec Lansing docking/speaker system. Began syncing songs that I already imported into I Tunes. Of course I also began importing more songs from store bought CDs. Just started having a problem with a majority of my CDs - when I click on import - songs won't import. Status bar never appears and 1st song to import just sticks. Also can't play the CD in I Tunes to listen to it. But........ some of my CDs will still import and play just fine?????????? Have tried changing preferences for the Encoder but nothing seems to work. I have to force quit the App & relaunch it every time. If I try the same CD again I get the same results??????

    Thanks for the reply, while that is certainly an option, I would still like to figure out why this problem exists in the first place. Not being able to play CDs is an equally annoying issue.
    There have been a bunch of similar problems reported here lately. The only suspicious thing in your diagnostics is the Gear drivers, so the first thing to try is to update your Gear firmware. Then retry with iTunes.
    I'm wondering if it might be my CD/DVD RW playing up.
    If the CD rips OK in another program, it is probably not a drive problem.

    Try force-closing the Music app: from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate Music in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button again, then try to play your music again.

  • I tunes skips through album, no sound, play count reads as played...eh?

    I've been buying a lot of new CD's lately since I started DJing at a local rock club and have been having this issue every so often over the last few months and it is now getting to the point where I am tearing my hair out trying to figure this out, Please HELP!!
    So, I import a CD I just bought today, it imports into my I tunes, all the track details and all other info are there, yet when I go to play the album, it skips through each track without playing a single sound and registers it on the play count as having being played. So far this has happened to a few CDs I have purchased lately which are as follows:
    Green Day - Nimrod
    Black Label Society - Shot To ****
    Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
    Down - Down II
    Black Stone Cherry - Folklore and Superstition
    Has anyone had trouble importing these particular albums or had similar issues when importing? Any help would really be appreciated!!!
