Playlist just scrolls through tunes at top of screen but won't allow me to play them

my playist just scrolls through each title in the list but won't allow me to stop it nor will it play anything from playlists. installed iOS6 and it worked fine until today (about a week). Also turned on iTunes match and it continued to work for about 3 weeks. Still works on my other iphone4, but not on my 4s. Power down and up didn't work to fix the 4s - phone still sees titles, but only scrolls through them on its own and won't play any tunes

Hi Diver,
I haven't ever seen this happen, but if quitting apps and hard resets don't do it you might want to start clean. Are you able to run a backup of your iPad mini? If I was in your shoes, I would back up the iPad, erase the iPad and then restore the data to see if that fixes it.
Step 1 would be to back up the data (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Step 2 would be to restore the iPad to factory settings (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).
Step 3 would be to restore the backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Hope this helps!!

Zen NX 'Play Any Track' number Limit

I have a Zen NX and when I choose 'Play Any Track' it plays track 'X' of 'Y' where for some reason 'Y' is less than the total number of tracks on my player?
All was fine until I reached 7477 tracks. After that ... whenever I added tracks they were on the player and I could listen to them, and the correct number of tracks appeared in 'Settings - About', but when I select 'Play Any Track' it never gets above 7477. I have tried adding all different tracks, and so it is nothing to do with the player ignoring duplicates or anything like that.
I have heard of other people experiencing a similar thing, but not the exact same number of tracks (but always in the 7xxx region), so it could be a file size limit to track info somewhere?
I have tried reformatting and relaoding all my MP3s and then it went up to 7476 but never any higher no matter how many more tracks were added.
I have all the latest firmware, etc. I do not have any playlists at all on my player, (just mp3 files only), so that info cannot be taking up any space/memory. I still have plent of physical space (/3) left on the hard disk.
I only really use my player to listen to my whole library on random, so it is extremely annoying, as I don't know which tracks are being missed off, whether it is always the same ones, etc.
Can anyone please help?

Unfortunatley I now find the playlist seems to be limited to 7999 tracks as displayed on my Zen?
However, In Notmad Exployer it shows all of my tracks in the playlist, over and above the 7999 limit's
I have also posted a reply to someone else with the same problem in a message 'Play Any Track / Selected Music / Playlist Track Limit - Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra '.
Someone must know what's going on here?

I recently bought a new laptop, installed iTunes and imported my library during a sync with my iPhone. Now I've noticed that any tracks that were ripped into my library from a CD won't play on my iPhone. They're visible but with a red circle next to them.

Hi, BartleyBauer.
If the media that you are attempting to sync plays in iTunes, try removing the preference to sync music as this remove the media from the device. Once this is done, try syncing the media again.

ITunes 7.1 will not let me play any tracks...

iTunes 7.1 will not let me play any tracks, it opens up fine and I can do pretty much anything else with it but when I double click or press play on a track an error message comes up and iTunes has to close. This has only been happening since I uploaded the new 7.1 version of iTunes, can anyone help me with this problem please?
I have sent an error report to microsoft but that doesn't seem to help me.

Can you play your tracks with Quicktime?
If not, you might try uninstalling quicktime and installing the stand alone version, which is option2 here:

Unable to play any tracks from AC/DC in Windows player (currently running 1.0.9.133)

When I play any track by AC/DC, Spotify comes to a screeching halt. No crash, no hang...just silence. The track progress indicator at the bottom of the screen never moves (like it can't start the track). Despite the play indicator showing that a song is playing, click on it several times to switch back & forth between play & pause changes but it never plays the track(s). If the song is part of a playlist with other artists, my only recourse is to skip the track--and assuming that it's another artist, the music resumes. Going to the AC/DC artist page produces no sounds from my speakers (just lots of mumbling & cursing from me). I am a premium subscriber so I tried playing an AC/DC track from the same playlist on my Android phone. Holy crap, it plays the song from the Android client! Jumping back over to my Windows player...no go :-( So it's not something I've done--at least not obviously...but it seems to remain a problem with ONLY the Windows player! The problem has existed for me ever since AC/DC (finally, yes!) has come on to Spotify & only occurs when playing any of their songs. If there is any additional information that I can provide, I'd be glad to do so. Thank you for the help! --L

I'm in the US. UPDATE: I figured out what the hell the problem was! When I got home last night, I tried playing AC/DC tracks on my laptop running the Spotify Linux client. It wouldn't play either, however, with the older build it was attempting to reference MP3 files that I used to have locally--it was trying to play files that weren't there! (Slight rant: pre-1.0 releases are better in visually representing which tracks are local & which ones are streamed.) Once I cleaned up the list of what Spotify thought I had locally though, the sweet sounds of AC/DC came out of my laptop :-) So now back on my Windows box, I had to go through a few technical gymnastics to get it to properly update the list of local files that are actually there, but much like the experience on my laptop, AC/DC trans now play properly! tl;dr: Spotify was confused & trying to play missing local MP3s instead of streaming from their servers. Forcing the client to reimport my local files solved the problem.

Play Any Track - on Nomad Zen X

I'm new here. Attempted a search on this subject and found nothing. Apologies if I missed something. I've got a 30GB Zen Xtra. I filled about two-thirds of the storage with tracks/albums taken directly from CDs. When I attempt to listen to all tracks using the "Play Any Track" feature, it'll randomly play back, but not all tracks/albums equally.
So, I cleared off the storage - I was tired of some of the stuff anyway - and started from scratch. I've got about 00 albums loaded now. A half dozen of these represent about 80 percent of what is played randomly - including every album from certain record labels (...to add to the mystery). A dozen albums have never played in 00+ hours of playback.
Somewhere, I remember reading about some limit on random playback - 4000 tracks or something. I haven't been anywhere near that. My average track length is something like 6 minutes. I've installed all the software updates through about six months ago. Same computer and software used for everything I've loaded. Thanks for any help. BTW, I have enjoyed this player quite a bit.

Try the things SSR mentioned to rule out any problems with the firmware/software. If you're still having problems after that, then it's likely it's a hardware fault. Contact Customer Support to see if they can help. If the player is out of warranty, they will be able to advise on the price of an out-of-warranty repair.

I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

HT1657 Downloaded 2 rentals and they won't play. They ask if I would like to begin the rental period, I say yes and it takes me to the dvd screen, but does not play. I hit play, fast forward, skip chapters and nothing.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
Did you source patch the audio tracks?

I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes? This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.

My iPhone 4S has decide to stop playing any of my music. All my songs are there, but when I click to play, it just scrolls through a bunch of songs and then reverts back to the play list. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this? Thanks.

I am having the same issue. And today, I noticed that when I was talking on the phone, the volume went down low. I had to reboot the phone, so that the volume was up again. Mostly, though, it's my music that I am having issues with.
Same issue as listed above. iPhone 4S. IOS6.

My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?
