ITunes 10.5.1 (42) now will not play my music

Have a MacBook with OS X 10.6.8
It's too old (1.83GHz Intel Core Duo) to install Lion.
Updated yesterday to iTunes 10.5.1 (42). No music will play, diamond will not move, can select play or pause and indications change but it all remains very very quiet!

I am having the same issue, and nothing seems to work! It has to be something with iTunes because I am reading that a lot of people are having these issues. I'm wondering if going back to a previous version would work? I am so frustrated.

  • New MacBook Air, iTunes was working at first, now will not play anything

    Brand new Macbook Air and after an unnecessarily complicated setup I finally had music playing the first day. Now it will not play music or podcasts. Cleared cache, restarted, up to date. I press play it changes to the pause icon but no time movement, no sound. I went through all the steps to fix the problem of not downloading any of my purchased music, but now that I have it downloaded it won't play, when it had originally.
    Downloaded a podcast, won't play. Yay, back on the Apple forum once again.
    The original selling point of Apple was simplicity and reliability, now it is more convoluted, un-intuitive and unreliable than any windows product out there and I never thought I'd say that.

    you're not dimwitted. I wonder sometimes! lol
    just checking on something first. when you try to
    play a song in itunes, does that little
    diamond-shaped thingy stay firmly stuck to the left? Yes
    if so, next let's explicitly doublecheck your precise
    itunes version number. in itunes, go "help > about
    itunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up
    from the bottom of the screen. (for example, mine
    says "itunes 6.0.5.20") 6.0.5.2
    if you've got an itunes version 5.0.0.35, 5.0.1.4,
    6.0.0.18 or 6.0.1.3
    ... first let's check on this possibility:
    iTunes for Windows: Audio files do not play in
    iTunes 5 or 6
    if you've got an itunes version 6.0.2.23 or
    higher, or the compatibility settings thing wasn't a
    factor for you
    ... then first we'll try a careful standalone QT 7.1
    reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone
    installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install
    from there rather than online.) switch off
    antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the
    install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes
    play audio properly again? Yes, this did the trick!
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone
    reinstall, let us know what it says. include error
    message numbers if you're getting any.)
    b noir I thank you so very much for being willing to share your knowledge and lending a helping hand! I am indebted to you!

    I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

    Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
    The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.

  • TS3297 I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my ipod

    I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my touch.  There were no error messages, and I see them fine on my touch.  They get to a certain point in the song and jump to the next song.

    Do they play ok on your computer's iTunes ? If they do then try deleting them from your iPod and then re-sync them back to it.
    If they also don't play on your computer's iTunes, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account 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 those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

    I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

  • I have a album purchased on itunes downloaded to my iphone that will not play back, what can I do?

    I have a album that was purchased from itunes downloaded on my iphone that will not play back, any suggestions?

    You can replace the back glass or get a case.  There are many iPhone repair centers... Google for one.  You can also try the Apple store... I've heard they will replace the back for about $30.

  • Itunes will not play my music nor videos

    I recently updated to itunes about a week ago..and for some odd reason my itunes will not play any music that is located in the itunes music library.. I un-installed it, then re-installed it..and it still did not play the music.. I believe it has affected my windows media player on my computer as well. I was wondering if anyone had any information or a solution to my problem??
    thanks

    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

  • My daughters Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today.  We have updated, restored etc and will not play any music as in no sound coming from it. It is almost fully charged and played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

    My Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today.  We have updated, restored etc and now it will not play any music - as in no sound coming from it.  It looks as if it is playing, but no sound comes out. It played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

    So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
    However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow.

  • My iphone will not play the music i have downloaded. can you help?

    My iphone will not play the music I purchased and downloaded. Can you help?

    That may be a problem related to network settings on your computer, or on the router that you use for connecting to the Internet.  Take a look at this article for a possible solution
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Since this actually a problem with using iTunes, and not directly related to an iPod (or an iPad), you may also want to ask your question in the appropriate iTunes forum category
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes
    The specific problem is that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store when using the iTunes app, even through your computer has Internet access.

    Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Remove the iPhone from the listing in the car. Turn off the car. Remove the car from the listing in the iPhone. Then put the car into discovery/pairing mode. Turn the Bluetooth on for the phone putting it in discovery/pairing mode. The two should connect.

  • Resolution Steps:  iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch library corrupted and showing ghost entries which will not play or music that is on the device in iTunes but inaccessible.

    Issue:  iOS Music application either has items listed in the library that will not play; or has an empty library but iTunes reports that music is present on the device and taking up space; or a combination of these issues coupled with the inability to resolve the problem through the standard resolution steps of disabling music syncing to remove all music and then re-enabling or by enabling "manually manage library" and removing the items.
    Additionally, attempting to restore from a back-up does not resolve the issue and the default response from the Apple Support Community is to factory restore the device and treat as new device, resulting in loss of all settings and basically starting from scratch.
    Cause of issue:  Corrupted iOS device iTunes library (MediaLibrary.sqlitedb).  This database stores the iTunes Media records and related information such as playcount, lyrics etc.  It does not store information and settings regarding iOS Applications as far as I am aware so this should be safe.
    Resolution Steps:
    Perform a back-up to your local computer rather than iCloud if practical.  This will be quicker in the event of issues.
    Download a iOS device manager such as Phone View (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/) which will allow you to directly access the file structure of the device.  (This will NOT require an illegal jailbreak to be performed!)
    Enable the Advanced View mode so the entire disk structure is accessible.
    Browse to the following file:  iTunes_Control/iTunes/MediaLibrary.sqlitedb
    Rename MediaLibrary.sqlitedb to MediaLibrary.sqlitedb-backup or similar
    Hold down POWER and HOME on your iOS device until the Apple logo appears.  Release both buttons.
    When device has rebooted, connect to iTunes and synchronise it.
    iTunes will detect that the Media Library on the device is missing and recreate it based on the items that it has listed in the iTunes synchronisation record for the device.

    I don't have a large library of music on my iPhone 4s since I've only had it since Oct 2012, but since the update to iTunes 11 in early December, my album artwork has been all messed up.  Everytime I would try to add new music, it would assign the wrong album artwork to anything new coming in.  And in addition to that, it would also mess up album artwork of music already on my phone.  Everything looked correct in iTunes, but on my phone, not so much.  After trying to unsynch, then synching again, my frustration level was at an all-time high. This problem seems to be everywhere online, but no concrete solution for everyone. 
    I finally came across your simple solution (at least for me because of my small inventory of music) of just deleting all the music through the settings, and then re-synching to add back my music.  Now all of the album artwork is correct again.  I'm almost afraid to add new music for fear the artwork will get mixed up all over again! I still think my issue is somehow connected to the iTunes 11 update because up until then I had no issues whatsoever. Anyway, thanks for an easy solution that worked for me.
