ITunes 10.5 Won't Play wav Music Files

I installed iTunes 10.5.0.142 on Windows 7 64, SP1 and I can no longer play wav music files which have been in my library from the beginning. I have a mirror Windows 7 client that has iTunes 10.4 installed and it still plays the wav music files. My iTunes library is on a Seagate BlackArmor NAS device, so both clients are accessing the same music files. The problem is that iTunes 10.5 refuses to play the wav files, but iTunes 10.4 and all previous releases of iTunes played them without issue. Could someone advise on how to solve this problem, or is this a defect with iTunes 10.5? I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 for Win on October 11th.
Also, after installing iTunes 10.5, I synchronized my iTunes library on my iPhone. The wav files play fine on the iPhone, but not on my Win 7 client with iTunes 10.5.
Thanks for your help.

I just downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5.1.42 and all of my problems have been solved.
All audio books now play
All wav files play
Tinny sound reported by others seems much improved with this update
The updated version of iTunes launches much faster on Win 7 64bit SP1The download and update for 10.5.1.42 ran smoothly and the install/upgrade worked the first time.
Thanks to all who helped.

ITunes Audio CD won't play on Music Centre CD player

I have a DVD-R/RW Drive on my computer. I have checked the Burn settings in iTunes to make sure that the music (AAC) files burnt to a CD are Audio files. I make a new playlist and put the downloaded tracks into that and give it a name. Then I put an empty CD/R in DVD-R/RW drive. Then I click on the Burn button, and the music tracks burn, successfully, onto my CD/R.
Once burnt, I test them on my computer, and they play by default in Windows Media Player, perfectly ok.
The problem comes though, to when I want to play them on my separate CD player, an integrated part of my music centre. When I insert the CD, the music won't play, and then the CD is automatically ejected.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Here is a copy of my Diagnostics

Hi camoracer,
Pleased to say that the CDR now plays on my home system too. I made a change to the Burn speed, reducing it from 'Maximum possible' in iTunes to 16x. I also took the tick out of play tracks at the same audio level.
But thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.

ITunes won't play my music files now

When I open up iTunes, it will no longer play any of the music files in my library. When I click on any song in my library, the file appears in the area at the top of the window where the song-in-play usually appears. However, it does not start; the little diamond does not progress through the song. The iPod however plays everything fine. I have a PC with Windows XP and have been told that it could be my drivers. I am lost as to what I need to do here. Can anyone please help?
Forever grateful for any help,
Greg

Well anything is better than version 7. It was totally unusable.
7.1 is an improvement but songs cut out for me. The dialio thingy shows that it's still playing, just no sound. I pause it and restart, the song continues. Sometimes this will happen three times in a row then not for several minutes. There also seems to be a clicking sound every now and then as well.
Yes I've tried switching it between 24 and 16 bit, no difference.
It's a shame as I really enjoy using itunes. I think Apple should stop using work experience kids to program their windows products. I was considering buying an Apple until this itunes debacle.

ITunes 7.7 won't play WAV files

Since "upgrading" to 7.7 iTunes now skips over songs that have a WAV. 7.6 played them—what's up? I want to play these files!

I upgraded to the latest iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now it won't play any music. I can do everything else, except play music. I'm on Windows 7. Any ideas?

i had this problem and finally figured it out. all that you need to do is go to your start menu and click on computer. select your main drive, (local drive) c usually. Next open the users file follow by your user name file, which is just like it sound it is a file labled as whatever your name is as you have it on your computer. Then you open up the AppData file. Next open the Roaming file. After that open the Apple Computer file followed by the iTunes file. Now you should see the folder labled iTunes Plug-ins folder. Now just Delete that folder. After that go to your iTunes and play your music.
If for some reason you don't see the AppData file you need to go to the upper left of your screen on select organize. a drop down menu will appear and you need to select folder and searc options. a small folder options window will appear. in this window you need to select the view tab. you need to select the show hidden files, folders, and drives bubble. now hit apply and then ok. that will allow the AppData folder to be seen.

ITunes 7.4 won't play music videos

When I doubleclick on a music video, iTunes 7.4 won't play the video, only the music. Music videos where playing fine with prior versions of iTunes. No matter which option I choose in the Video Playback preferences, iTunes won't launch the video. Restarting iTunes didn't bring back music video playback either. Podcasts and Movies are playing just fine though.
Any help ?
Thanks

I had the same problem and I landed here - OS10.7, had iTunes 10.5.2 *thinking* it was playing - acts like it was?, shows pause icon - no audio, no actual playback. ...Scrubber dot didn't move onPlay click. (And, dam, I was hungry for music!), but.. That's where I discovered it. Of course, I had browser audio probs, too - YouTube, Hulu - and Skype - any app output audio was affected...
   I struggled with this for at least a day! Frustrated, I took out my other OS10 boot drives and tried troubleshooting... No dice. I halted CoreAudioD (whew) out of desperation... I checked my audio lines.. Then I remembered I installed a trial of ProTools with an Avid audio driver (maybe looking for Digi-approved devices) at around the time of trouble.
     My SysPref audio panel was showing only Avid's device - no line in, no ext spkr.. So, I ran the ProTools uninstaller to try that. That's where EVERYTHING went back to absolutely normal! (After the restart). SysPref Audio panel shows all! I selected LineOut (for me), and I got it.
     iTunes and other audio-service-consuming apps suddenly didn't take 4 minutes to launch!, and my Lion install was like I first had it. ProTools has a dedicated uninstaller - install that clean. If you have a PT install that works, check the iLok config - my iLok is active and attached, but not for PT 10. Maybe it's avid device->CoreAudio, may it's due to the PT trial???... Whatever it was, for me, the problem lied there.
     Hope that helps any of you guys. Good luck and thanks for the direction, bros..

I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

How did you do this move? Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

ITunes won't recognise my music files!

Hey everyone- I've loaded all my music files and old iTunes library onto my new computer and in the itunes music folder. However when i go to listen to a song iTunes says that it cannot find the song, or the folder has been moved and would i like to locate it...? Can anyone help me here? All my playlists are sitting there looking at me but they won't play any music!!!!!
Any help would be much appreciated!
cheers,

I am also having the same problem. In an effort to try and consolidate, I recently placed all of my existing music folders under or in a newly created folder entitled Kenny's Music. Upon attemting to play my music after that, the music is coming up unable to locate.
I have all of my music under an external hard drive and I even changed the settings in my Itunes settings to F:ItunesKenny's.
I can get idividual songs to play by going through eight or nine steps - clicking on a song, a window coming up asking me if I want to locate the song, indicating yes, going to the F drive, clicking on itunes music, kenny's music, locating the artist, highlighing the song and then it will play.
I have over 6400 songs and I don't want to go through that entire process for each song. I have previously utilized the file, add folder to library option. All that did was to double the overall number of songs from 6400 to 8800. However, my old songs would still not play. Please help.

I backed up my I-tunes library (by dragging my "music" folder to my new external hard drive. Now 6,000 songs won't play stating, "original file cannot be found." What can I do to get these songs back???!!!

Try putting the files back where they were before you moved them, then follow the steps in this Apple document -> iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

How do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them?

how do i make it so iTunes plays the music files from where i have chosen to store them as opposed to it scattering copies of my files into a myriad different folders based on the albums they came from when i'm not even interested in keeping whole albums?
I recently converted myself to mac after having been a windows formatted person since the beginning of time. I use last.fm and the client scrobbler only supports iTunes on the mac (scobbling since Nov 06 and i'm now heavily dependant upon it as a means of discovering new music) - if you don't know what that means then take it for granted i have no option other than to use iTunes as my media player whn using the mac. And almost immediately upon using iTunes i was filled with horror.
My tale of woe as follows: I copy all my mp3 files to folder X on my new mac. I copy my simple playlist in to that same folder X. The simple playlist simply lists all the files in folder X in the order i want to hear them in... simple right? And what happens the moment i start playing my simple list? Well you probably all ready know; itunes throws copies of all those files in to the air, scatters them to the four winds so each of them fall into a little folder of their own representing the album they might once have come from. I don't keep whole albums. For me the 'album experience' is a ruse to trick one into listening to weaker material. I only keep the concentrated goodness. I only put up with albums in a previous lifetime because in the days of vinyl i had no other choice apart from spending hours compiling mix tapes. Now i am liberated from these restrictions and have been for the 15 or so years i've been using a computer to listen to music. Until along comes iTunes forcing me backwards in time, frog marching me back into the past.
That simple list i mentioned is my one and only playlist. This single playlist has been evolving for 15 years as tracks are added and removed and their position in the list changes because that song sounds amazing when heard after that other song whereas hearing this song after that song would be like pouring custard over your sausages (for me shuffling is an abomination). And so here is how i've managed this list and managed synchronization of said list and listed files with my mp3 player (currently a Zen).
Adding a new file: After deciding that song is a keeper i will copy it into that simple folder that holds all my music and drop it in to a position on the list i deem most suited for it. Incidentally over this entire 15 year (i'm pretty sure it's been around that long) my media player has been winamp but for the reason previously mentioned i am unable to use winamp in mac world.
Removing a file: fortunately winamp has an option to simultaneously remove a file from the list and the hard drive. And naturally so because after all if i no longer like a song then i want it expunged completely from life or at least from my hard drive and playlist. In the brave new world of iTunes i have to remove from the list there then delete the file from where iTunes copied it from and then the place iTunes copied it to.
Editing the list: drag an item in the list to it's preferred location and select to save it as i would for any other file using any other application... well desktop type application as opposed to one that uses a database as its primary means of storage.
Syncing with the mp3 player: copy drag drop playlist file from the simple folder on the hard drive to the simple folder on the mp3 player as i would for any other file. And then also copy drag drop the most recently created files from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on player after having ordered them by creation date so as to make it easier to select the most recently created. After a while the mp3 player will fill up with the files no longer on the list so i will delete all files from player then re-copy all flies from simple folder on hard drive to simple folder on mp3 player.
I do not make changes to the list on the mp3 player so synchronization needs only to go one way: from laptop to player.
So all very simple. Apart from editing the positions of files in the list everything is managed by copy drag dropping and deleting files using windows explorer.
But i'm in a mac and circumstances have forced me in to the corner of using iTunes. And this whole iTunes situation is terrifying for me as over the years i've heard horror stories about it deleting all of someone's music files. Perhaps this may have been by using the software incorrectly but even so, the very fact that it appears possible for this to happen simply by using the software incorrectly and the fact that it happens with some degree of frequency given the number of reports of this happening that i have heard of over the years on music discussion forums fills me with dread that i have to now use this software. And given the software's blatant disregard for the user's choice as to where to store his/her files it's no surprise that this happens. The software is pointlessly doing dangerous things with my data. Please make it stop.
Please can i just at the very least make iTunes play the music from the folder i have chosen to put my files in and not copy those files here there and everywhere without my say so? Thankyou.

option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

I know it's a little late but I recently updated my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 and now it won't play my music. It will play spotify and YouTube music but not my music. Everything else works fine but when I go to play a song it just skips to the next. Why

I know it's a tad late, but I recently updated my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 and now it won't play any of my music. It will play Spotify and YouTube just fine, but it won't play my music. It will just skip to the next a d the next and the next after a second or two without any sound. Please help! Thank you.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up

Hey B Noir!
Changing the 3D worked for me!
I am so glad that I ran across your post. I had been reading "solutions" to this problem all day, and most of them said to install/unistall/re-install itunes! No way! I knew there had to be an easier way, and you had it. Just a few clicks, and that was it.
Thank you for your help!
God bless.
