ITunes 11.1 on Windows 8 will not play/rip audio CDs

Problem:
I cannot play or rip audio CDs using iTunes on Windows 8. iTunes does not show any errors. It recognizes that I've put in an audio CD with tracks (and, in fact, matched the tracks in the iTunes database). When I click the Play button, it just skips from one song to the next.
Stats:
- OS: Windows 8 Media Edition/64-bit
- BDRW: LG WH14NS40
- iTunes: 11.0.1.126
Background:
I built a computer and installed a BDRW. The BDRW uses Windows drivers, so no additional software was installed.
The burner reads CD/DVD data and video just fine (haven't tested with BluRay yet).
When I put an audio CD in, I couldn't listen to it in either iTunes or Windows Media Player.
After following the directions here -- http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-pictures/dvdcd-player -not-playing-audio-cds-win8-laptop/791e04c0-628e-42a8-8014-43cc782511a4 -- I could hear it on Windows Media Player, but not on iTunes.
I could not rip any music using iTunes: all it did was create a bunch of 1kb files.
Question:
How could I have iTunes play Audio CDs again?
Thanks in advance.

Correction: iTunes 11.1.0.126, not 11.0.1.126

ITunes 7.1.1.5 will not play audio from inserted cd

I have been experiencing an issue with iTunes on my PC. It will not play any audio from inserted discs. This includes burned discs and commercial discs. When I attempt to play the music the song will stay highlighted briefly, about 2 sec., and then it goes directly to the next song on the disc. This continues through the disc to the end. I experience the same issue when trying to import the disc.
I have tried removing the iTunes application and doing a fresh re-install, but I have the same issue.
Also, this is on a PC, and I am able to open the disc's in question and play the content fine within Media Player.
Any idea's on this would be greatly appreciated!

ITunes Ver 10.6 Radio will not play behind firewall

iTunes Ver 10.6 Radio will not play behind firewall while version 10.5 works just fine.
I uninstalled and reinstalled a fresh version of 10.6 rather than just upgrading and still not working.
Our Firewall is BlueCoat....
Works just fine outside the firewall..
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

Update:
I also noticed that version 10.5 doesn't prompt for Proxy credentials while version 10.6 does...
thanks in advance

Thanks for your help

I should add that every time I remove the iPod from my computer to try and see if any of the songs are back it asks me for a language just like the first time you start it up. Kinda like it forgets everytime I plug it into the computer.

Itunes 11.3 for windows will not delete podcasts.

Using itunes 11.3.8.54 will not honor the delete menu item for deleting podcasts. Podcasts are also not being deleted when the number exceeds the maximum retention.

In order to delete the podcast, start playing another track first. Sounds like the same bug that affects TV shows. The currently selected show will not go to the recycle bin, though it will disappear from the iTunes library. It's as if iTunes tries to move the file to the RB but Windows says, "No, that file is in use."
I discovered this bug after my laptop hard drive ran out of room because none of the TiVo2Go shows I'd been watching for weeks had truly been deleted by iTunes when I asked it to. All the files remained on the hard drive.

ITunes 8.2.1.6 will not play most of the songs in my library

Since downloading iTunes 8.2.1.6 most of the songs in my library will not play on my computer. I am afraid to update my iPod for that reason. It is not album specific or iTunes purchased/cd ripped/ or internet downloaded specific either. Has affected songs in all categories. When I right click on "Info" of these songs I have found that they are recognised as AAC audio files - but "Profile", "Channel" & "Encoded by" headings & information is absent. Songs are present on my hard drive & do not appear to be any different than other songs on the same albums added at the same time & which do play in iTunes !!
My Library holds over 300 GB's of songs & I guess over 80% are affected .. Any help or suggestions to solve this major problem would be much appreciated ..

iTunes refuses to play/read file, it cannot recognizes headers, or recognizes those as corrupt, but giving no error messages. The problem is the stored artwork(s) on your music files. To correct this, select the files that are corrupted/cannot be played on iTunes&iPod, click "Convert ID3 Tags...", then select v1.1 from the dropdown box (first, try this on a few to see that my solution is working).
By doing so, iTunes replaces headers, but your ID3 tags will not be changed (I assume you are using ID3 v2.4), nor you'll lose any info or anything else. This works as a hotfix for those files. If you try to replace headers via another program, your information will be truncated, and any artwork stored will be deleted. So I recommend this one.
You'll see that iTunes cannot play most of the files that has artwork(s) stored in them. New version hasn't fixed this problem, and it has risen with iTunes 8.2.x. If it's going to take long, I suggest you should go back to 8.1.x.
With best regards,

ITunes store Download to computer will not play!

I am downloading 9 symphonies from iTunes store to my computer - all symphonies and movements are listed but two complete symphonies and one movement are not ticked and will not play. I did not find iTunes support of any help - can anybody help?

If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy over to your iTunes library. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

Video will not play, yet audio does.

Like the header says, all of a sudden I go to work on a project I've never had trouble with and the video will not play; it is frozen wherever the cursor is. Yet the audio does play. I've tried clearing cache, clearing premiere cache, gone all over the internet to try and find an answer, of course India is closed right now, so no help there, not that they really give it anyway. So I'm asking if anyone might have experienced this one and figured it out despite Adobe. I'm on a PC with Windows 8 and terabytes and terabytes of storage; plenty of space left on disc, too. As I said; this has never been even a hint of a problem Just started up today. This even beats most Adobe "beta testing" problems they heap on us unsuspecting sheep. So I'm completely flummoxed. A prize to whoever knows what's up with this! It's a new one on me... Thanks in advance to whichever genius knows the answer! :-)

OK, I found the answer by myself and wish to share it with those having the same issue. It turns out that the saved workspace can corrupt allowing audio to play, while video remains frozen. The fix is to change the workspace. Go to WINDOW, after creating a new style workspace and save the new workspace. Problem fixed. Also, if there are already a number of other saved workspaces that involve video you can simply change to that one and it will be fixed. Delete the corrupt workspace. That's it! This was discovered through a simple process of elimination which proves that bugs really can surface anywhere for no intuitive reason. Hope this helps you!

Internal speakers will not play, only audio choice is "digital out".

15 inch MacBook Pro. Internal speakers will not play. Output to headphone plug did work. Now I cannot insert headphones into socket, it seems to be too shallow. There is no red glow as mentioned in other posts. I had the red glow issue on an older MacBook and resolved it by inserting toothpick into socket and triggered switch. I have used command, option, r and p reset. Ideas?

That is what I thought as well. I am not able to check the same headphone jack I was using earlier today, but other 3.5 mil jacks dont fit. I will try again with the same one used earlier.
Would this also cause my internal speakers to not be recognized? I had a issue similar to this with my old macbook and was able to resolve it by flipping a switch in the output socket. Something to try? I would also assume that a bent contact or switch is not something an average joe could fix.
Thanks for your quick responses.

ITunes sees the music but will not play anything

First I would like to thank anyone who addresses this issue in advance! I have been trying to figure out the problem for some time and obviously have been unsuccessful. I also apologize if it is an easy fix and I was too dimwitted to figure it out on my own.
I can open iTunes and see all of my music. I can see my playlists, purchased music and all of the music in my library. However, when I try and double-click or select play from the drop-down menu nothing happens. I even tried to purchase a new song and listen to it, but still nothing. I checked the deauthorize feature, but it is not set.
Any advise, tips or replies are appreciated!
Thanks

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!

How to link apple tv to itunes on macbook. apple tv will not play on tv.

Do I have a defective unit? Apple TV will not come on the tv or my macbook, my itunes on my macbook will not recognize it. Used several different HDMI cables and tried in all the differnt ports on the tv. Power light will come on the unit but will not show on either my tv or laptop.

The only way to get an ATV recognized on a computer is to physically plug it in via USB, has that been tried?
With the ATV connected to the tv, were all inputs toggled through on the tv? Not just physically moving the HDMI cable from one port to another.

I just downloaded the new firefox and now my worldwinner site will not play the audio because of a missing file?

It will not let me play the bejeweled 2 game with sound the new version of firefox disabled my sound?? Please help?????

Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.
* [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
* [[Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window]]
I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
* FirefoxButton -> add-ons
** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]
** examples [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar/ yahoo toolbar] & [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-mail-notifier/ mail notifier]
* also look at Yahoo's own information such as http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/toolbar/cl3/c3_ff_toolbar1.html

Video will not play but audio does

I transfered some .mov files from my friends mac and tried playing it on my pc. It plays the audio but not the video on Quicktime. I tried using the VLC player and it says some thing about "icod." I tried many converters but they all failed.

Load one of the videos into QuickTime Player, open the Movie Inspector (from the Window menu), and post the information shown in the Format section. That will provide some important information for diagnosing the issue and suggesting what to do.
Regards.
