ITunes 11.1.5.5 on my Windows 7 PC does not play songs

After upgrading this version, the iTunes player bar graph does not move when I click the play arrow. Any ideas, please share.

Hello Raag Thaal,
I would be concerned too if my music didn't playback in iTunes.  I found an article that specifically addresses issues with the music not playing and the playhead not progressing in iTunes.  I recommend following the steps in the article below:

  • ITunes player does not play songs since upgrading to 10.5.1; not fixed with 10.5.2 upgrade. What now?

    After upgrading iTunes on my laptop to version 10.5.1, my player will NOT play any songs. My Library seems intact and no songs appear to be missing, but no song will play --not a song downloaded from iTunes Store, nor a song downloaded from a CD. I was hoping version 10.5.2 would fix this, but apparently not. Still not working. Songs do play on my iPod and on my iPhone and I can transfer songs from my laptop to my devices; I can also download Apps to my laptop through the iTunes Store, etc.--all other functions of iTunes seem to be okay, only the player is not working. (My laptop is an hp Probook with Intel i5 chip, Windows 7 Pro OS.)

    Does it look like the song is playing at the top of iTunes? Can you see the timer moving?
    Also, make sure the volume slider isn't all the way to the left (mute).

  • Sometimes itunes does not play songs

    From time to time my itunes stops playing: When I select
    a song in my library or a song in the itunes store, the song
    is displayed at the top, but itunes does not start playing.
    Additionally, it won't play any other song.
    When I close the itunes software (hitting [x] at the top
    of the window), I cannot restart itunes until I end
    the still living process itunes.exe in the task manager.
    When I restart itunes afterwards, the same songs in the
    library (or in the itunes store) play properly.
    I use itunes 7.2.0.34, but the problem also existed
    with earlier versions (I think they startet with 7.x)
    and still persists.
    I followed the hints in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610,
    no change.
    Does anybody experience similar problems?
    This is really frustrating!
    Thanks,

    Just as an update, someone suggested reinstalling iTunes to fix the problem. I don't know if you loose the songs in your library but I asked the kind person that answered my question.

  • Windows Media Player 12, Windows 7 does not play AVCHD (.mts) video in embedded mode, but does in normal mode

    I've run into a problem with WMP 12 on Windows 7 involved in playback of AVCHD files.  When run in 'normal' mode from Windows Explorer, WMP opens the video file and plays it back beautifully.  However, I'm building an application with
    WMP embedded.  When running WMP from within the application (c#), the same AVCHD plays audio but no video.
    I've seen this type of problem before with respect to audio playback of mp4 files in WMP from embedded-mode:  the MP4 license prohibited audio playback when run from embedded mode but played the audio fine when WMP was launched from explorer.
     I was able to solve this particular problem by using a 3rd party codec pack.
    In this case, I've tried a number of packs K-Lite, etc., but to no avail.  My problem persists.  I suspect perhaps I've encountered a similar licensing-type issue with a SONY CODEC and the state in which WMP is playing back files but I
    have not yet been able to track it down.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    It seems that you are using the Windows Media Player control in a window form forum, 
    as far as I know, the Windows Media Player control does not raise an exception when it encounters an error such as an invalid URL. Instead, it signals an event. Please try to set an event to try to catch the expcetion as described in the link below:

  • Itunes 11.1.5.5 on Windows 8.1 not playing Video

    First time post, hope i entered it right.
    I installed Itunes 11.1.5.5 (64 bit) on a new HP with Win 8.1 (with updates). Itunes will not play any videos (home or, those off on the store). Sound will start, then stop, and the video itself never starts. However, the videos will play on Media Player and another video player on my desktop.
    If I set compatibilty mode to Vista (sp2), they play in Itunes. But Itunes sends up a warning message when it loads with compatabilty mode set, the warning says to "turn off compatiblity mode for best results". And from what I've read compatabilty mode on  for Itunes can cause other challanges.
    Is there some fix or configuration setting I need to change so videos will play in normal mode? Or do we just see how the compatibility mode setting plays out.

    Hello there, TMacID14.

  • IPod Nano does not display songs after upgrading to iTunes 7.1 & SW1.3

    After installing iTunes 7.1 on my WIN machine and connecting my iPod nano iTunes asked me about upgrading my iPod's firmware. After I did this all the songs on my iPod where gone. When I connect my iPod to iTunes I see that 3,8 GIG is still in use, which should be correct, and it states it is analyzing song for "gapless playback". However, my songs don't show up in iTunes, nor on the iPod. I rebooted the firmware on the iPod (menu+select) but no results.
    a) how to get my songs back to my iPod without going thru a factory reset?
    b) how to get rid of iTunes 7 and V. 6 back?
    Thank in advance.

    Does it look like the song is playing at the top of iTunes? Can you see the timer moving?
    Also, make sure the volume slider isn't all the way to the left (mute).

  • Hello everyone, Very recently itunes on my windows computer does not let me access any items in my Library except for "Apps" and "Ringtones". When I click on any other items it flashes the redcircle meaning forbidden".

    Hello everyone, Very recently itunes on my windows computer does not let me access any items in my Library except for "Apps" and "Ringtones". When I click on any other items it flashes the redcircle meaning forbidden".
    When I connect my iPhone or iPad I can see every items on them but not on the iTunes Library.
    They sync fine with iTunes.
    I browse all the menus in iTunes but cannot find any clues to what I have done for it to happen. It worked fine previously.
    Thanks for any suggestion.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

    ITunes has nothing to do with the windows operating system so sync wont work because the photo's are on the pad not the computer. I will call apple support. I think it has something to do with the apple drivers for windows that changed in the latest upgrade

    Did you try recovery mode?  Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes.  iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.
