IPod NOT playing iTunes downloads - HELP!

I thought it was an audiobook I downloaded, but I re-downloaded it tonight and it still didn't work. So I downloaded a song and just like the book, it went swiftly into iTunes and played fine.
When I sync the iPod, the music comes over, but will NOT play. It tries for a few seconds, then moves back to the main menu.
Surfed help and discussions and haven't found this problem.
I have soft/hard reset, deauthorized/authorized, etc...but to no avail.
Any Thoughts???

Hello, Grover,
This forum is for questions from people who administer iTunes U sites. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iPod nano forums.

Since downloading ios 6 my iPhone 4 will not play itunes when docked - plays ok when not on dock. Has anyone else had this problem?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

Rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

Hello b noir.
Thank you for your interest in solving my problem.
What I did I opened iTune. I read the information about what does my computener need to play back a rented movie. My computer is okay to play back rental movies. So I went to the iTunes store, I searched for the movie I want to watch, i singned in into my Mac account and I bought the movie. The movie started to download to my computer, it took some time because I bought a HD version, but it never stop and after a couple of hours or little less the movie was in the Rented folder of my iTunes and also I checked to be sure that was in the movie folder. So, next day I open iTunes and click on the movie, it opens but I wait for five minuetes and never started to play back, so I tried several time and I looked for info in different internet forums but I couldn't find anything that help. So I posted the problem in this forum and also I called Apple. Apple contacted me and they let me to download the movie again. So I did it and now I will watch the movie later. Not sure if the movie will play back normally or if I am going to have the same problem. I'll keep you posted.
Apple representative did not know why this happened.
Thanks.

Try deleting and redownloading the music.

My Ringtones are in my Purchases, but not on iTunes download, and don't appear in Tones?

I know that there is a way to go into my ipod files and pull out all of the songs as I have done it before. Would it work to create a new library, pull all of the ipod music files into it, and then match that to my current iTunes match account? Also, do you know, if I do that am I starting the entire match process over again or will Match recognize the files that it has already matched from my previous librarly? If I have to start the entire process over again, I might reconsider as it has taken FOREVER due to my ISP.
Thanks again for your help and input.

HT204370 I purchased a movie yesterday and started the download. The download seemed to hang up at about 90%. Finally, it showed that it was ready to watch, but the movie will not play. Download is apparently corrupt. How do I get a working version?

Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iPad and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films, or if you have problems with the re-downloaded version, then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

The latest episode of my podcast will not play or download. Everything is clear through the host. What can I do?

Hello!
I recently created a new podcast and for some reason my latest episode(episode 4) appears in iTunes but will not play or download. The other 3 episodes still work fine and episode 4 seems to be working properly on the host libsyn page and on the website I am posting new episodes on. iTunes is the only thing it does not seem to be playing through. I do run my podcast through a feedburner account before it hits iTunes, but so far have not had any issues. Has anyone had a similar issue?

Feedburner is a pain and causes issues especially with the Podcasts App - plus its future is far from secure. Google has shut down other services in the past with little warning.
Since you are hosting on libsyn - the best thing you could do is switch over to your libsyn feed.
http://insidethestrain.libsyn.com/rss
Here is a tutorial on how to redirect from feedburner to your libsyn feed.
http://lilith.libsyn.com/feedburner-redirect-tutorial
And make sure you turn off any redirects on the libsyn side - you don't want it redirecting back out to the feedburner feed which it appears to be doing.
You want to manage your feed just in your libsyn account.

Matched song in the cloud but can not play or download.

I have one Depeche Mode song from a very old album that when I paid for iTunes Match was matched and I deleted this song, I was new and green to how iTunes Match worked at the time so I deleted all songs from my Mac but not from the cloud.
I then re-downloaded them all to get the higher bit rate non protected AAC version and that worked for most of my songs as I assume the ones that would not upgrade to the higher bit rate where not available in the iTunes Match system.
I have since either purchased the iTunes Plus version and some have been updated and now I am stuck with one song in the cloud but will not play or download.
I have gone to iTunes and purchased the iTunes Plus version but the original Protected AAC version of this Depeche Mode song in the cloud is stuck and I can find no way to delete it from my iTunes list as it is not in my actual iTunes Library folder just has the cloud icon.
Is there a solution?

Applications purchased from one sore cannot be transfered to another store, especially when they are not available in that other country store. The apps are locked to the Apple ID and country store from which they are purchased.

Ipad does not play itunes match

Certainly you can use your iPad, start iTunes, sign-in to iTunes Store and turn-on iTunes Match. Provided you use the same Apple Id as the library that you initially enabled iTunes Match on you will see all the Songs available. These can then be played.

HELP ME!!! Ipod not playing in itunes

i am having trouble because my ipod will not play in itunes. the songs are just shaded gray. i also used to be able to get songs from any computer but i cant anymore. the ipod will update and erase all of my recent library. please help!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Both of these happen when the iPod is set to automatically update all songs and playlist. They are not necessarily problems, just the way the preference is.
Here is how to change it to manually manage songs, which will let you update songs from any computer (don't steal music) and the songs will not be greyed out in iTunes...

Need expert help - iPod Classics will not play recently downloaded songs

Sparknotes version of this question, so you don't need waste your time if you aren't interested:
-iPod Classic skipping over songs
-problem with iTunes transferring the files
-need help ASAP, we DJ with these iPods most weekends
Multiple iPod Classics are skipping over songs and will not play them. This is a recent issue and these ipods are not new - we have been using them for several years now. The playlist and the Macbook from which the playlist came are also not new. The playlist copies onto the ipod so that i can see it on the device, but after unplugging the ipod and trying to play a song the screen just gets stuck for a few seconds, with the play symbol showing in the toolbar, but then skips to another song until it can find a song it can play.
After some investigating i found that my itunes must not be properly copying the playlist - it shows up on the ipod, but when i view the ipod contents in itunes, that playlist is not there. Upon a second attempt at copying the playlist to one ipod, i found that all files still show up in the song list, some files are now playable, but not all. My husband and I are DJs and one can understand that this is quite a predicament, when all of our ipods suddenly only play certain songs.
Restarting the ipod does not solve issue. Again this is an issue with multiple iPods, so i am thinking that maybe it is an iTunes problem but i don't know where to begin trying to fix it. One thing i did notice was that when i plugged the ipods, iTunes sat in the "verifying iPod" stage for quite a while. I found some past forums that touched on this but it seems to usually be connected to updating the version of iTunes, and i have the most current version (10.6.3). This playlist was made years ago and the files should not be corrupt, at least they have worked fine in the past.

I find this concept worth considering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve
The one year limited warranty ought to see you through "early failures". I have a sneaky suspicion that extended warranties are intented to cover "random failures" before "wear out" failure becomes likely which is why such cover is often limited to 3 years, the period when it is least likely to be needed.
In your case, assuming there is no obvious physical cause that has been overlooked, it would seem to be a random failure in years 2/3. Not common, but they will happen to someone.

Itunes videos will not play on Itouch-- HELP!! (please)

I recently purchased an Itouch, (& I love it!!-for the most part) I just have one issue... none of the videos I purchased in the Itunes store will play on it! They will transfer without issue, but when I try to play it on my Itouch I get this message: "This movie could not be played". So my tv shows, music videos, AND movies will not play! (note: all were purchased/ downloaded from the itunes store). [They will play on my old Ipod mini tho...)
I have spent two days perusing Apple support and all over the internet looking for a fix... nothing is working. I have the latest edition of itunes and everything. I have reset my Itouch, taken everything off and put it back on. I have un-installed and re-installed itunes... I have also done all of the trouble shooting steps... like the downloading of the sample video...
One message board told me that I could go to Advanced> Create Iphone or Itouch version & that should do the trick... nope. It's not even an option for me... and since I don't have QuickTime PRO it won't let me convert and export my videos either.
I am rather distressed about this, so I really hope you can help me.
Thanks!

I don't understand what your iPod model has to do with your version of iTunes...
... this option is in the iTunes' Advanced menu... if you have the latest version of iTunes installed, it would be right there... only grayed out if you don't have a video file selected.
