ITunes 10 + Automator. Where's "Play action?

After I updated to iTunes 10, I lost the most iTunes actions in Automator (primarily "Play").
iTunes system gives me an error that those codes do not exist and I should update my iTunes to 4.6 or higher...
Any solutions?
Thank you

The bad news is, iTunes 10 is missing the following actions:
Add Songs to iPod
Add Songs to Playlist
Ask for Songs
Change Case of Song Names
Get Selected iTunes Items
Get the Current Song
Import Audio Files
Import Files into iTunes
New iTunes Playlist
Pause iTunes
Play iTunes Playlist
Remove Empty Playlists
Set Info of iTunes Songs
Set iTunes Equalizer
Set iTunes Volume
Set Options of iTunes Songs
Start iTunes Playing
Start iTunes Visuals
Stop iTunes Visuals
Update iPod
The good news is, iTunes' AppleScript dictionary appears to still contain the ability to script all of these items, which means that it should be easy for now to create AppleScript actions to replicate these, and that it should at least be possible for these actions to return. Will they? I certainly hope so!

I can no longer see the top menu bar in itunes. where you see the status of syncing. where you have the option to click and move a song you are playing to the middle of the song, etc.

It's iTunes screen menubar:

I have thousands of songs dowloaded from my cds and purchased from itunes that will not play. It states the file cannot be found. What happened to them and where are they?

When songs cannot be found, it's either because they have been moved from the original location that you told iTunes, renamed or deleted.
So have you:
renamed songs?
moved them to a different loaction on your computer since you imported them into itunes?
deleted them since you imported them?
stored you iTunes library on an external drive? If so, that drive needs to be on and ready every time before you start iTunes.
... or is another programme renaming or even moving them, such as Windows Media Player? (It has been known to if you let it.) Did you previously use Windows Media Player?

Need to play actions in PSE 9.0 from JavaScript

Hi All,
I have been facing this problem now for three days ..!!! I have just switched to PSE 9.0 from PS CS 5... In the past, i had success in playing actions through javascript in Photoshop... But the same is giving me a dead end with Photoshop Elements in the picture ... Any help or guidance regarding this is highly appreciable..!! Pls guide me fellas..!!!
Thanks..!

Your code for the PQR action should look like this:
It doesn't matter where the actions are on your computer as long the path in the script
points to the action and then you tell elements which action to play.
In other words you don't have to put the actions in actions player folder.
If you want to run actions in the Full Edit Mode, you can install the actions into the effects panel.
By installing them in the effects panel, you have access to all the menu commands that are
normally greyed out in the guided edit mode. Also some functions that work in the full editor
will not work in the guided edit mode, so your actions may give errors.
Installing in effects panel:

Also you can place your scripts in the Automation Tools menu by putting a
javascript resource code at the top of your script, but the automation tools menu is greyed
out in the guided edit mode.
Then you would place the script in the pse 9 presets>scripts folder and after restarting
or starting pse 9 there on the menu.

Downloads from itunesU where viewed, played and saved?

Look to see where they are stored in iTunes. Most are downloaded and stored in iTunes U under library. Those should be shown in iTunes U which is a part of the iPod app on the iPad. I have had a couple that had bad data in the metadata and were classified as Movies and placed in Movies. I selected those and right clicked (control click if no mouse with right click) on those, selected Get Info, selected Options, and changed Media Kind to itunes U. They were moved to the iTunes U section by iTunes.

I have downloaded 2 movies from itunes to my ipad, but they are not showing up on itunes. where are they? how can i find them?

Tap the Videos app and tap the movies button at the top of the page.
The iTunes app on your iPad is just a conduit to the iTunes Store. To play your purchases, use the iPod app or the Videos app.

Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
There are two things to try before you upgrade:

Additional troubleshooting
After performing each of the steps below, you will need to completely remove iTunes and related components and then install iTunes again to determine whether the issue is resolved.

ITunes 9.02: Song playing but no sound

Have had an odd problem on the last couple of iTunes releases. When listening either on my MBP or over AirTunes, a song will play with no problem and will end normally. The next song will queue up, and appear to be playing (the progress bar moves, etc), but there is no sound. If I skip ahead to the next track, or if I rewind this track to its beginning, it plays normally. It is sporadic, but seems to be happening more now.
The library is on an external drive connected to a new Airport Extreme, but I saw this same behavior when directly connected.
Can anyone confirm that they've also seen this?

Bumping to top again.
This has really become a terminal problem. Can't play more than a song without having to touch the system to bump back to the beginning of the track, where it plays fine. This can't be limited to my system only--any ideas or thoughts guys?
Thanks in advance.

I bought a full album of 4 songs on Itunes sotre, when I play only hear 30 seconds ... why?

I bought a full album of 4 songs on Itunes sotre, when I play only hear 30 seconds ... why?
I can do, how I can get my money? or how I can re-download them without buying them?

Why? Seems to be an intermittent issue at present.
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Some songs listed in my iTunes Library won't play

I'm running iTunes 8.0.2.20 on Windows XP SP3.
My iTunes library is set to be located in the default place, i.e.
C:\Documents and Settings\<my user name>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
It's fairly large (11833 songs to date).
I regularly sync my 160GB iPod classic with it.
Recently I have been finding that various songs listed in my iTunes library will not play - if I click to play them, nothing happens.
If I right-click on them (Get Info) and follow the listed path to where they are in my library, I go use Windows Explorer to access the underlying MP3 in a different application (e.g. WinAmp) and the MP3s do seem to be present and correct and play fine in WinAmp.
So far all the songs this has happened with have been ones which were ripped off my CDs to MP3 before I got the iPod, and subsequently imported into iTunes.
Any suggestions as to what is going on and how to repair it?
Obviously, I can manually delete the songs that won't play from iTunes, then re-import them all over again from the original CD..... but this is a bit time-consuming (especially where I have customized the metadata and artwork beyond what is in the Gracenote® database)....and with over 10 thousand songs in my library, there's no way to test them all easily to see which ones work and which don't.
Is my library getting corrupted in some way?
Is there a way to rebuild it somehow? (without losing my customized metadata and artwork?)

Yes, actually lots of folks. iTunes 8 has gotten really fussy about MP3 tags and won't play or even add them to the library if it doesn't care for their format. They may have played in previous versions, but won't now.
Use Mp3 Validator to fix any tag issues. It's a free DL. I've used it, and it works.
Just try it on one song and you'll believe!
Here is a good web article on it:

Then your iTunes must be looking at the removable disc, not your hard drive. Did you actually copy the songs onto your computer, or simply tell iTunes to look at the removable drive?
Highlight a song and click on File/Get Info/Summary>Where and check the location that iTunes has listed for the song. What does it say?

Since a recent itunes upgrade, songs wont play

What does the "!" in front of a song mean? The song will not play.

It means the song can't be located. For instance, if you moved the song from where it was when you added it to the library, it doesn't know where to look for it now. Usually when you click on it, it will tell you it can't be located and would you like to locate it? You then find it for iTunes and then it should all be good. Sometimes it's not that you moved it, but that iTunes "forgot" where it was.

Where is play count and watched/unwatched data stored?

Where is play count and watched/unwatched data stored?
Is it on file or somewhere else?

I don't know where play count is stored, but, when using list view for songs
Go to menue toolbar item 'View' - on the drop down list that appears choose 'View Options...'
In the window that opens up check the box next to Play Count
now iTunes will keep track of how many times you play each song.
But, if you follow the same menue path while movies are in list view mode, the play count option does not appear to exist for movies, although date last played is an option.
If you don't check the box in view options, I don't think iTunes will keep track of song play count. The only data from past use of any individual item iTunes can show is probably limited to that items' metadata that you can see using the 'get info' option for any selected item.

Please Help...Itunes Automation Server problem

It installs up to the point where it says "Registering Itunes automation server", it freezes on the last bar and then says "cannot run cuz some of itunes required files are missing...reinstall"...but it won't. Can anyone help?
Thanks

You will need to import all your songs to the laptop first. Then, connect your
iPod. Select Erase and Sync. This will remove all the files from you iPod (SO
BE CAREFUL YOU HAVE YOUR SONGS ON THE LAPTOP). Then start over, like you did
when you first got the iPod. Sync it with the laptop.
What I would do, is go to your first computer and burn a DVD of all your songs.
Then on the laptop, do an "Add Folder to Library" in iTunes. Make sure your
iTunes is configured to "copy files when importing". After that, your laptop
should have all the files that you had on your old computer, on it. Generally,
you can't copy from the iPod to the computer. There may be 3rd party apps that
allow this, but not built in to iTunes.
Leave the songs on the old computer, incase things go bad. You can always
re-init the iPod and go back to the original computer and re-sync.
Good luck. Hope this helps.
