ITunes 12.0.01 will not play any music on my HP Envy

After the most recent "update", when I click on any song to play, the speaker icon shows like it's playing, but no music is playing, nor is the time scroller for the track moving. It stays at 0:00.
I've rebooted twice and still no changes.
Any help on this?
I'm using Windows 8.1 on an HP Envy 17" laptop.

is the little diamond-shaped thingy staying firmly stuck to the left, raisingirl?
if so, let's 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 music properly again?
(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.)

IPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in "Pause" mode. No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker. I have 418 songs stored and none will play.

iPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in “Pause” mode. No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker. I have 418 songs stored and none will play. I have tried resetting, turning on and off the iPod, etc. but to no avail.

Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My daughters Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today. We have updated, restored etc and will not play any music as in no sound coming from it. It is almost fully charged and played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

My Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today. We have updated, restored etc and now it will not play any music - as in no sound coming from it. It looks as if it is playing, but no sound comes out. It played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow.

Itunes 6.0.5 will not play ANY files

Hi. I just upgraded to version 6.0.5 and itunes will not play any of the files in my library. No error message or file location error is diplayed when I try to play a file. The song title is displyed in the main window, but the file does not progress.
I tried to troubleshoot it myself with apple support, but only found some information about checking the compatilibity mode settings --that was not the problem.
Anyone else experience this? I'd really appreciate any suggestions or information on how I can solve this problem. Thanks a bunch!

OVI music will not play any music on PC any more

Hi there
I have 5800 CWM phone and the CWM licence expired in October 2010. Tthat's fine, as I was able to keep playing the music I had downloaded on both my registered PC and the phone itself.
After a little while I could no longer transfer music from PC to phone. I have about 20GB of music and the phone has about 5GB of space for music so periodically I would transfer different stuff to the phone.
Then I started being unable to play some songs on the PC at all - licence problems for some songs while others would play OK.
Now I can not play any music on the PC at all. I'm getting an error messge saying there is no licence, then an optimistic message saying "Your licence is being delivered" which would not happen. Then I would get a message saying I needed to delete the song/album and redownload it from my download history. I can see my download history but no longer have an option to re-download it - I can only buy it.
Additionally I am now getting a messge saying that "We can't sign you in" and that I need an OVI Music account which I already have. I can login to Ovi.com with it just fine.
This is starting to get really tiresome. From having a handset which i could download any music for a year and keep after the year was up, on both the PC and the phone. I now only have the music that is already on the phone. The remaining music I can't access and indeed can't play any of it at all on the PC.
Does anyone else have this kind of problem that has been fixed? BTW it is now a level 3 support problem with no fix in sight. Sorry for the long post.
Cheers
Periwinkle

hi,I have the same problem and this,given the fact that i ave a one year unlimited licence for downloads. I am convinced that Nokia India is fooling people with these type of tactics and therefore I have consulted my lawyers to file a suit or Rs. 1.5 crores against the company for harming my legal interets as a consumer. I am confident that after this NOkia gets to know about my suit, they wil all stop this illegal practices of cheating the consumers.

Just purchased a new PC. I transferred entire library to cloud, my itunes will open, I can see my library but will not play any music or download it to either my devices

I just purchased a new PC. I transferred my entire LIbrary to the Cloud, when I redownloaded my music onto my new PC, the itunes will not play music.

You need to download the music to your computer from icloud or copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

Not sure what you mean by "transferred my entire LIbrary to the Cloud"

My iPhone will not play any music not download from iTunes

Not even music ripped from CD's I own. Deleting, re-installing or re-syncing does not help.
When I try to play any song from my library, iTunes fast-forwards at breakneck speed through the songs until it finds one it approves of. (Including the F****** U2 album I neither wanted or downloaded.) I've tried deleting and re-synching, deleting and restoring from back ups in iCloud and from my laptop bot nothing helps.
When I choose 'Get Info' on the tracks that won't play they are described as 'AAC Audio Files', hose that will play are described as 'Purchased AAC Audio Files'.
My wife purchased an iPhone 6 on the same day, she has no such problems with her purchased and ripped tracks.

Well that was a complete waste of time. Thanks for nothing guys.

HELP - No sound and will not play any music or videos

Hi All,
I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have an Apple iPod 2g 16gb.
I am having real problems with the sound not working when I upgrade the firmware. If I update to the new 4.1, the internal speaker stops working completely and that's not all...
If I try to play a song, it basically loads the PLAYING screen (with the two arrows and PLAY button in the middle at the bottom) then appears to immediately stop the song and go back to the track list screen.
Also... whenever I try playing any videos on the youtube app, it keeps saying video cannot be played...
Now, if I downgrade to Firmware version 2.1.1 sounds works, videos work and music plays!
I have tried all the Restore option and Reset all settings solution and nothing seems to work. I have been researching like mad on the Internet and have found a couple of posts with similar problesm so I know it isn't just me but does anyone have any ideas at all because, had I any, I'd have ripped all my hair out by now!!!
iPod Touch 2G 16GB 4.1 Windows XP Pro

If it works fine with the older FW, I would leave it alone. iOS 4.1 has its share of problems. Battery life is one big issue.

Ipod shuffle will turn on. then it turns back off and will not work. it charges but will not play any music?

My ipod shuffle will not work. it turns on briefly then turns off and i cannot hear anything. my earbuds work, it holds a charge, but no sound?

I would start by working through the 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.

My iphone 4s will not play any music it just scrolls through the entire list and says url not found on this server

Please help. I am going to go pop in a minute!!
All this happened after installing IOS 6!!

I have the same issue - Home Sharing is setup on my macbook pro and works absolutely fine from my Apple TV but no longer works from my iPhone 4S now running iOS7.04
Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8
iTunes 11.04
Apple TV (latest software update?)
iPhone 4S with iOS7.04
Let me recap...Apple TV can access shared music library via Home Sharing with no issues. The iPhone 4S can ACCESS the shared library, SCROLL through the songs, but when I attempt to PLAY a song it just skips it and sends me back to the browsing screen.
I appreciate any response.

Itunes will not play my music nor videos

I recently updated to itunes about a week ago..and for some odd reason my itunes will not play any music that is located in the itunes music library.. I un-installed it, then re-installed it..and it still did not play the music.. I believe it has affected my windows media player on my computer as well. I was wondering if anyone had any information or a solution to my problem??
thanks

You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
