ITunes 10.7 freezes when I attempt to play a song I purchased

Hi,
I have the latest version of iTunes, 10.7. I have been having a continuous problem with playing songs in my list.  When I click the play button, the scrolling bar does not move and the song will not play. However, if I restart the PC and load iTunes, it plays as soon as I double click on a song in my list. When I boot up the pc for the first time, it will not play.  It only plays if I restart.  Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Thanks!

itunes will freeze even WITHOUT playing a song...
7.6 release of itunes was rushed so Jobs could look good at Mac Convention.
Apple didn't seem to care it was completely buggy and usless for a program. And to top the cake, if you called Apple to try and find out why iTunes was freezing and running slow, Apple blamed your computer. So 1000s of iTunes users have bad comnputers (even though they are all 100% above the minimum requirements for iTunes to run). sad Apple...how about take ownership??
there is only 1 good fix at the moment. uninstall 7.6 and reinstall 7.5 (see other threads to see how to do this flawlessly).

  • Why does screen freezes when I attempt to play certain songs in my library

    Why does my screen Freeze when I attempt to play certain songs I have downloaded from CDs into my library?
    I have just received my Nano and I'm unsure if I want this to keep happening

    Apple removed my previous post because I referenced jailbreaking which is a violation of the TOS.  Sorry about that! 
    That said, I can't think of any way to get around the file size limitation.  I suppose itunes match isn't really meant to give you access to play all your songs anywhere.  It instead gives you the opportunity to download your songs via wifi when you aren't at home.  I can't see that it makes any difference one way or the other to Apple but it obvioiusly would make a difference to the wireless provider. 
    So now, my question is whether this happens on with all carriers.  I have experienced this on AT&T.  Does anyone here have Verizon or Sprint?

    I don't know how but after two hours of trying to sync, Somehow the files that I wanted to transfer, worked. I don't know how or If I got another -54 but, all I know is that this has happened alot. I usually take hours to sync stuff. I figured this out at the last moment trying to transfer all my photos trying to create a clean slate. I somehow found my files on there.

  • I have just purchased a new pc and when I try to play 2 separate albums that I bought from the itunes store I get a message that my computer is not authorized. I then follow the steps to authorize it and the same thing happens when I attempt to play this

    Just purchased a new pc with windows 8. Transferred over my itunes. With 2 different albums in my library, when I attempt to play this music I get a message saying my computer is not authorized. I then sign in to authorize the computer, itunes  tells me it is indeed authorized, I attempt to play this music again and I get the same "your computer is not authorized" message again, and again....
    Any help out there on this one would be appreciated. If my question is not clear enough I will attempt to help.
    Thank you,

  • Numbers freezes when I attempt to open a file from the iCloud

    Hello,
    My Numbers app for my iMac freezes when I attempt to open a spreadsheet file from the iCloud.  These same files open fine on my iPad, and I make sure to close Numbers on my iPad before I attempt to open the file on my iMac, but it makes no difference.  The app freezes, and I have to manually force stop the Numbers process.  Any help would be appreciated.

    How do I get the dock to recognize the latest numbers version I have.
    Go to the Applications folder, find Numbers 3 and drag it to the dock. It will then look like the lower icon here (the one with the 4 columns). 
    Another way is, if Numbers 3 is already open, to right-click the icon in the Dock and choose 'Keep in Dock' under 'Options':
    You can drag the icon with the three columns off the Dock if you don't want to open Numbers 2 from the Dock.

  • My iPhoto 11, V 9.4.2, locks up/freezes when I attempt to empty the iPhoto trash bin.  Originally, I thought it was due to 800  files in the trash, however, I removed ALL but 5 photos from the trash and it continues to lock up.

    My iPhoto 11, V 9.4.2, locks up/freezes when I attempt to empty the iPhoto trash bin. 
    Originally, I thought it was due to 800+ files in the trash, however, I removed all but 5 photo files from the trash and it continues to lock up.  Inititally the "progress" bar would get to about 1/2 way and then it would stop and stall.  However, now the progress bar no longer shows a progress line it immediately freezes and locks up. Can anyone help? 

    You may have damaged the library - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

  • When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, it begins to play but stops after 5 seconds

    When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, its begins to play but stops after 5 seconds instead of the normal 30 seconds.

    I posted this to another thread here:
    "I am having the same issue with the preview songs cutting off around the 5 to 7 second mark. It started about 3 weeks ago right after I downloaded an album.
    It downloaded but at the end said the download failed due to a network timeout error. I clicked out of the error dialogue box and checked my "Purchased" items folder and it did seem there was a problem, no songs were there only a placeholder of the album cover (or something of that nature). Nothing happened when I clicked on it. However, when I closed and then restarted itunes the entire album was there and there have been no problems with those songs.
    Some here are saying they believe they previews cutting off have something to do with the 10.6 upgrade, however I still have 10.5.1.42 and have the problem.
    I am running up-to-date Windows 7 Professional with Viper Anti-virus. I don't for a moment think it has anything to do with windows updates, anti-virus or any other 'windows' issues. I believe it is within itunes in its' preview player software.
    Dear iTunes, if this thread is being monitored by a rep, please be aware that if I cannot preview more than 5-7 seconds of a song you can rest assured I will not be purchasing any further music through itunes until this issue is resolved and will be taking my business elsewhere in the interim."
    I use the ipconfig/flushdns all the time to resolve browser issues, especially when using Twitter. It does not help this particular problem for me.

  • TS1717 iTunes crashes when I attempt to play a movie

    After installing the new iTunes update, the program crashes when I attempt to play a movie or TV episode. Any ideas anyone?
    Many thanks.

    Sounds like Quicktime is causing the problem.
    Try to start Quicktime and see if it works.
    If it works then try to run Apple Software Update, to see if Quicktime needs an update.
    Else try to install ITunes and Quicktime again (As it is already installed, it will give you the option to do a repair)

  • TS3297 when I attempt to play a newly downloaded song on my IMac, it starts then skips to a previously downloaded song?

    I'm wondering if I have incorrectly downloaded an album from ITunes.  When I attempt to play songs from it, they are incomplete and my IMac will skip to a previously downloaded song.  Please help?

    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

    I put songs onto my IPhone 4, and they show up under the "On This Phone" section in itunes, but when I go to play the songs on my phone, they aren't there. How can I fix this?

    When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app?  Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category.  If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes.  To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again. 
    I hope this helps!
