IPhoto slideshows will no longer play songs from iTunes since I upgraded to Mavericks. In fact trying to use a song from iTunes crashes iPhoto. Any suggestions?

Having a lot of problems with iPhoto since upgrading to Mavericks. Wondering if there's not enough memory in my version (I was unable to update iMovie because my system is incompatible with the new version.) A slideshow will play but silently even though there appears to be a song from iTunes attached. Two songs where I've had this problem were not purchased from iTunes but downloaded from personal CDs. Very frustrating as I simply cannot figure it out. And getting direct help from Apple either via Chat or Phone has become near impossible as you try to wade through the roadblocks of links upon links. I tried to create a new slideshow and pull in songs but the same thing happened. The aforementioned songs play OK on my iPad just not on myiMac - it's a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, so aging not well perhaps! Any ideas welcome.

OK, answering my own question..well, via Arleen 259 and Old Toad apparently courtesy of keysandfood! (Copy of Old Toad post below. Thanks to all...IT WORKED!
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

Quicktime won't play my .mov files since I upgraded to Mavericks.

Quicktime won't play my .mov files, even those from an iPhone, since I installed Mavericks. "Tell Me More" doesn't tell me anything about a solution. Any suggestions?

What do I do?
Frankly, if you have deleted the original movie clips from your camera/camcorder and iPhoto, then it sounds as if you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle and there is nothing further that you can do.
Some facts:
For some reason, the movieclips are awful small (13-30 KB).
640 x 480
Codecs: H.264, AAC
While these facts are of little value without file duration information, as you yourself have already noted, the file sizes quoted are extremely small. A typical VGA H.264/AAC file of reasonable quality would normally have a combined total data rate in the 700 to 1,700 Kbps range depending on specific settings, profile, and level of the encoding software and could be even higher or lower depending on the quality levels required. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that files in the 13 to 30 KB range only contain 104 to 240 Kbs and either have durations measured in fractions of seconds or do not actually contain enough data to be played. (E.g., the video data may be missing or the file is corrupted.) Thus, it is most likely that something was wrong with the workflow used to "export" your files to the external drive and when you ignored the fact that the files were not playing correctly, you closed the door on anything that you could do when you deleted the source files. (I.e., the normal workflow here is to copy the entire iPhoto library to the external drive, switch libraries, confirm the new library is working properly and only then delete the boot drive copy of the iPhoto library.)
OBS: When I try to convert the files into something else (AVI, MP4 whatever) either it comes with an error, nothing happens or the converted file wont open. This happens with various convert-programs.
If the data in the files is missing, then there is nothing to be converted by any application.

Songs on ipod in my iphone will no longer play in my car since 1.1.3 upgrad

THE RADIO IN MY TRUCK IS IPOD COMPATABLE, IT HAS AN AUDIO VIDEO CABLE THAT COMES OUT OF IT THAT I PLUG INTO MY IPHONE TO PLAY ALL OF THE MUSIC OFF OF MY IPHONE ON MY CAR STEREO. ALTHOUGH THE RADIO IS DESIGNED TO WORK WITH IPOD AND NOT IPHONE, IT HAS ALWAYS WORKED EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE PHONE. NOW THAT I UPGRADED TO THE NEWEST VERSION FOR IPHONE (1.1.3), THE MUSIC WILL NOT PLAY ON MY RADIO ANYMORE. THE PLAY LIST STILL SHOWS UP ON MY RADIO, HOWEVER THERE IS NO SOUND. MY PHONE NOW DISPLAYS A MESSAGE SAYING THAT IT IS ATTACHED TO A DEVICE THAT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IPHONE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO MAKE THIS CURRENT SOFTWARE VERSION PLAY MUSIC ON MY CAR RADIO? OR WILL THERE BE A SOFTWARE UPGRADE IN THE NEAR FUTURE THAT WILL REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? I DONT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE AN IPOD AND AND IPHONE IF THERE IS ALREADY AN IPOD IN MY IPHONE. PLEASE HELP.

Previously Working iTunes Will No Longer Play Songs

I have been using iTunes on my computer(Vista) for several months now with no problems until this morning. I can succesfully load the program, but when I try to play a song, the song tracker becomes a negative number and nothing will play. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for the trouble, I finally found a post back from early this year regarding the issue. If anyone else is having the same issue, just do the following:
Go into Quicktime and hit edit > preferences > quick time preferences > audio tab > Select audio playback and recording devices. It will say there has been an error detected and you can disable audio enhancements. It should fix the problem.

After iOS6 update, my phone will no longer play songs added to my phone via iCloud

I have been having trouble playing certain songs that I have purchased recently and that have made their way to my phone from iCloud (not from plugging my phone into my computer). Before I updated my software, I was able to listen to everything purchased on my Macbook on my iPhone with complete ease. As soon as I updated the software, I am now unable.
There are 2.6 GB free of space on my phone, so that can't be the problem.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Can you see the song tracks in question on your iPhone? What happens whe you try to play them?

My Razr HD will no longer play notification sounds after updating with 4.4.2, it also doesn't use the ringtone that I have selected.

I've tried setting different ringtones, and notification sounds, but it still doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Thanks for confirming CasMcc. Are you stating the notifications are working now? What specific notifications are you having difficulties with? You said calls, messages and media are now working. If something changed it would have to be on the device itself. This issue would not be account related.

Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
There are two things to try before you upgrade:

Lots of my music will no longer play after latest update

Hello,
I have a lot of music that will no longer play in my iTunes after the last update. it doesnt happen with all my music, but a lot of it, and as far as i can tell, movies and tv shows are still good. when i click on the song, it just skips forward over a lot of songs that it cant play until it gets to the next one that it can play. to make things stranger, i synced my iPad to my iTunes, and the ones that cant play in my iTunes will play on my iPad. when i try to open the song using QuickTime player, i get the following error: error -2002 a bad public movie atom was found in the movie
what is a bad movie atom and why am i getting the error when trying to play an audio file, and why wont they play in my iTunes but will on my iPad.
System: Win7 Ultimate 64bit AMD A10 8GB RAM
iTunes : 11.4.0.18
QuickTime : 7.7.5
any ideas?
thanks

The contacts is saved on Google or Backup Assistance (Whichever you are using) and you can use ES File Explorer like I posted at http://community.vzw.com/t5/Android-Apps/Simple-way-to-Backup-apps-for-Hard-Reset/td-p/658707 , so you really wont loose anything but apps data...
BUT, I am not saying that you do this if that is your only issue... I was just pointing out that this is a good ideal to do with any Major Updates..
If the contacts isnt linked again you should get the option to link them again once the OS boots, normally it checks and then prompt to link again..

Music I have purchased from Itunes will no longer play on my laptop. When I click on a song to play it, it says the file cannot be found. Does anybody know what to do?

Purchased music from I-tunes will no longer play when I hit play. The message "music file cannot be located" pops up and then takes me to some other file system. Does anybody know what to do? I have already tried to make sure that my Itunes player is default and that is not the problem.
Help!

You get this message because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
Do any of these aply to you?

ITunes will no longer play nor add to the library any mp3 files which I have created by conversion from a wav file.

I am running iTunes 10 on XP Pro and it will no longer play those mp3 files which I have created by conversion from wav files. I tried to delete some from the library and then re-add them but iTunes will not add them back to the library.
Can anyone help solve this, please?

Many songs in my library will no longer play.

Many songs in my library will no longer play. I receive a message saying "song could not be used because the original file could not be found". It then offers me a selection of earlier libraries going back several years. None of these earlier libraries will play the songs. What has happened?

IPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras.

iPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras after importing photos from my iTouch.

Does the camera mount to the desktop so you can look to see what is there? Have you tried Image capture (in your applications folder) to import the photos? Have you tried unchecking hide previously imported to see what that shows? Do you have a USB card reader to try? When did you last reformat your memory card?
If you can get the photo off the card using any method do so and tehn use yoru camera's format command to reformat the card
