Iphoto won't play itunes

new macbookpro trying to add music from my itunes libray to an iphoto slideshow. will play from "themes" but not from my library

This is exactly what is happening to me. I can see and select a playlist from my itunes library, but the slideshow simply stays silent. My playlist is an owned CD which I had impirted into my music library.
If I select one of the preloaded themes, this music plays fine. But if I go back and select my playlist- the list shows up but won't play.
Thanks for any help- I've played music for years in my slideshows but with my new MBP and Mavericks and new itunes and iphoto I just can't get it to play.

IPhoto won't play videos (with QT7), after renaming video files in Finder

Hi folks,
My iPhoto9 played video files with Quick time when double clicking the video files in iPhoto. Yesterday I renamed approx 50 video files in Finder (double clicked and renamed them). Now iPhoto won't play them when double clickling. The only way to play them is to a) drag/drop to vlc or b) double click them in Finder.
How can I tell iPhoto to play the video files (interesting fact: the meta data still shows the video old file names)?
Can anyone help me? Thanks!!!!
Thanks

I have not changed default seetings, so I assume I'm running Managed libary.
The yes, that's the case. So, to do this you had to access the Package File and then rename the files. Wasn't the fact that the files are not directly accessible a hint?
I tried overwriting iLife09 (without deleting the version that was on -> it didn't help!!)
Nor would it. That might restore the applications (though without removing the receipts it won't be very effective) but the problem isn't the Applications. The problem is that you have corrupted the Library.
What if I delete iLife and reinstall it. Will iPhoto then be able to play the videos (that I previously renamed with Finder)?
No. Because, again, it will not undo what you did in the Library folder.
As you have no back up, you no have exactly one option: Create a new Library and start over from scratch, importing the originals from the Library you trashed.

My iPad won't play iTunes when my PC is shut down?

My iPad won't play iTunes when my PC is shut down?

If you are playing music from the computer to your iPad using Home Sharing your computer must be on.

IPhoto will not play iTunes music in slideshow

Slideshow I created in iPhoto will only play theme music. When I select my music from iTunes, the slideshow does not play the music. I have made dozens of slideshows before without this problem. Seems to be a bug with iPhoto now. Any suggestions??

Assuming this is for iPhoto on your Mac:
Launch iTunes use the File -> Library -> Organize Library -> Reorganize Library menu option. Then quit and relaunch iPhoto.

1st Gen Apple TV won't play iTunes purchased movie

I purchased a movie (not HD) on iTunes and cannot play it on my 1st gen Apple TV. My older movies are still there to be viewed. Any thoughts?

Does it appear in the movie list on the AppleTV1 but won't play? Does it give an error?
Try purchasing something on AppleTV1 direct - check in iTunes you may find a free episode of a TV Show or similar. I had an issue last year with new content until I purchased something else on AppleTV - i assumed it was some kind of authorisation getting updated.

FrontRow won't play iTunes songs

Got the kids a new iMac G5 for Christmas. Today I tried to play some music from iTunes (we have over 2500 songs on iTunes) and I was able to use the remote to navigate FrontRow. Found the artist and album and song list, then selected the song to play and after a few seconds, FrontRow returned an error "Could not play song from iTunes" or something like that. However, if I launch iTunes and then play the song (which plays fine), go to FrontRow and select "Currently Playing" I see the cover art and the currently playing song. It updates as the next song on the album plays.
Any ideas why FrontRow itself won't play the song? BTW, I have all of the iTune music library located iin /Shared/iTunes so everyone on the Mac can share it. I was logged in as one of my kid's accounts that has iTunes properties set correctly to the Shared music.

hey there marsgirl,
in oder to use your purchased iTunes songs in any app(iMovie, iDVD, etc...) you need to burn them to a CD then rip them back to your hard drive. part of the deal(DRM) the labels forced on Apple when the iTS was established.
good luck.

ITunes won't play iTunes movie

Hi, I purchased The Dark Knight through iTunes and when I copied the file and put it onto my MacBook Pro and authorized it. It wouldn't play, it would but the screen is dark but it is still playing the timer goes but there is no sound or picture does anyone know what is the problem with this?

Since the item you are having problems with was purchased from the iTunes Store, I would recommend going into the iTunes Store and logging into your account page (in the drop-down next to your email address).
From there, click "Purchase History"
Click "Report a Problem" and select the purchase which contains "The Dark Knight".
There, you will be able to report the problem you are having with your iTunes Store content directly to Apple and they will very likely add the iTune to your iTunes download queue again, free of charge.

Iphoto won't play videos in slide show

I've transferred a slideshow from an old macbook to a new macbook pro and for some reason the movie clips in the slideshow will no longer play. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know of a solution?

I have the exact same problem. I upgraded from an old Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro to a new intel i7 Macbook Pro. I did a migration using Time Machine and until now, everything seems to have transferred flawlessly. However, any iPhoto slideshows with video clips now hang at the video clip and lock up the machine. The slide shows still run fine on the old macbook prog.
As far as the videos on the new mac, they will run fine using finder/quicktime. They will run individually when selected in iPhoto. However, they will cause the mac to freeze if I try and run a slide show or export the slideshow whenever it reaches the first video clip.
I'm guessing its some kind of directory issue but I would like to recover the slide shows and be able to run them on this new, more powerful machine rather than created exported videos on the old mac or attempt to recreate the slideshows from scratch on the new machine.
Any help would be appreciated and I'll try and use more than one syllable.

ITunes Opens, But Won't Play/iTunes Has Detected A Problem With Audio

iTunes 7.4.3 and XP Pro on Dell laptop. The application opens, but no song plays. It appears at the top, but stays at zero. It keeps saying, " iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration." When in control panel, it says there is no audio device. Already checked it as default player. Tried repairing and nothing. Is it a driver? The last time I installed itunes on a pc, about 6 months ago, it worked fine. Maybe try an older version? Any help is appreciated.

See if this helps:

Iphoto won't play movies

A while back I tried housing my iphoto library on an external drive, but it kept giving me issues when the drive went to sleep and the computer tended to freeze up. So, I finally moved it all back to my local hard drive. But when I did so, I seem to have lost the ability to see all the movie files that we had imported into iphoto from my camera. The movies are still there (when I go into the deeper folders) but they don't seem to play from within Iphoto. Instead I see a black and white exclamation mark inside of a triangle caution sign when I double click on the thumnail and the movie doesn't play. I know it is a movie b/c when I ask for more info, I see its properties.
I have tried rebuilding the library, (which I'm sad to see threw off the orientation of my of my photos) but that didn't seem to help. A further complication is that this also seems to be applying to my RAW photos, except that with those, the caution sign appears (even in the thumbnails) but if I wait for a second, it actually loads to RAW image.
Any thoughts of how to have Iphoto re-recognize the movies as movies in particular?
Thanks,
Robin

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

Protected book won't play iTunes 10.5.2 (11)

I used a Free Download Card from Starbucks to Download a book on my MacBook using Mac OS 10.6.8 using iTunes 10.5.2. The info says it is Protected Book, but I can't get it ot open on the Macbook. On my iPhone it doesn't seem to sync, or at least I can't find it in "Music" or in "iBooks." What am I missing?

Itunes won't play, store won't play, no audio

itunes won't play, itunes store won't play, no audio.

Make sure the volume slider in iTunes isn't all the way to the left.
If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly

Apple TV 2 won't play my iTunes purchased movies

Hey gang-
Okay, for the past few days, our Apple TV 2 won't play any of our iTunes Store purchased movies.   Yet at the same time, it works perfectly with Netflix, HBO Go, and Showtime Anytime. The Apple TV is connected via Ethernet to my Airport Time Capsule.   No Wifi involved anywhere.
I have unplugged and repowered the Apple TV and reset it from Settings->General->Retstart.   Also logged out and back into iTunes Store.   Also rebooted modem and router.   No help. I also checked for updates and it says Apple TV is current.
A couple other weird things.   It also won't play iTunes movies stored locally on my iMac, even though Home Sharing is turned on and the Apple TV sees the iMac under Computers.   And yes iTunes is running on my iMac.   The other weird thing...the Apple TV won't remember Screen Saver slideshow photos between sessions.
All in all very weird- especially the fact that all other network features on the Apple TV are working perfectly including Netflix, HBO Go, etc.
What to check next?
Thanks!
Dave

Hello Dave_K.,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your Apple TV; I know how frustrating that can be. If you continue to have issues playing purchased content and/or local Home Sharing content, you may want to double-check the Apple ID configuration, as outlined in the following article:
3. Check your Apple ID
Home Sharing requires all computers, iOS devices, and Apple TVs (2nd generation and 3rd generation) to use the same Apple ID.
To verify your intended Apple ID is enabled on all of your devices:
On Apple TV, navigate to Settings > Computers and look in the bottom-left.
On your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, navigate to Settings > Music or Settings > Videos.
On your computer, open iTunes. Open the File menu and select Home Sharing. If the incorrect Apple ID is listed in iTunes, do the following:
Go to File > Home Sharing and choose Turn Off Home Sharing.
Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
When prompted, enter the Apple ID you'd like to use.
Click Turn On Home Sharing, then Done.
A maximum of five computers can use Home Sharing at one time. If this limit has been reached and you want to add a new Home Share, deauthorize one or more computers by choosing Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes. For more information about authorization and deauthorization, see About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization.
Troubleshooting Home Sharing - Apple Support
Sincerely,
- Brenden
