Itunes 6; Playlists will not play

I recently upgraded to Itunes 6.0; looks like a mistake.
My playlists will not "play"; after the first song plays, by double-clicking a song on the playlist, itunes stops playing once that song is finished. It does not matter whether it is set to repeat song or repeat playlist; it simply stops after one song.
Any help will be appreciated! I have a christmas party coming up and I desperately nneed Itunnes to work properly!

It may not seem obvious, but are the songs 'checked'?
Unchecked songs play when doubleclicked, but iTunes will stop when the song finished.
You can 'check' (and uncheck) all songs in a playlist at once by command-clicking on a checkbox.
Does this help?

I have songs in my iTunes Application that will not play. I keeps saying that this computer is not authourized to play name of song would you like to authourize it. The problem is its the old account I had and that has been changed. How am I going to authorize these songs when this account no longer exists.

I posted about this yesterday -- it happened to me, and the solution was incredibly simple. An Apple tech guy had me delete my SC Info Folder, located on my XP in Application Data.
Here is my post:

It wasn't every song, just a few of them. A nightmare to figure out what to do, but it was solved upon reboot.

I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes. It just stops and can't go any further. How do I fix this?

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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I attempted to download a song. It originally did not download correctly. I refreshed the download and it supposedly completed. Upon playing the song in both my library and on the Itunes store it will not play past the first 5 seconds. How can I fix this?

Hello Whitney262,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I would go ahead and make sure you can first download the content, then remove the song from your iTunes Library, and download again from your iTunes past purchases. The article below will walk you through the entire process:

I downloaded a song to my itunes and it will not play. How do I get it to work?

I downloaded a song off of itunes and it will not play but indicates that it is downloaded. Any thoughts on how to get it to work?

Hi randybratton,
If a specific song that was purchased on your iPhone won't transfer to iTunes on your computer, you may want to try redownloading it directly to your computer from the iTunes Store. You may find the following article helpful:

Did you copy your actual iTunes content from your computer before reinstalling iTunes, or did you just copy your iTunes library which only contains the pointers to your songs / books locations ?
You might, depending upon your country and if they are still in your country's store, be able to redownload your music purchases and your ibooks via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - you will need to delete the entries from your library (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' messages) before they will potentially show with the cloud icon against them in Purchased for redownloading.
Or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound

I purchased a movie on iTunes, but it will not play on my Apple TV1. It says the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.

I purchased a movie on iTunes, but it will not play on my Apple TV1. It says the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.

Annoying isn't it.
This seems to have started at the end of October and may be some kind of 'authorisation expiry' on the original unit that needs updating.
Solution include:
Purchase something on the AppleTV1 itself with DRM (a free TV Show episode might be an idea if yiou can find one).
Remove the connection to itunes by removing the iTunes library from AppleTV's Computers>Settings menu, then add it back again.
Remember this will wipe synced content from the AppleTV if AppleTV1 is syncing (My Movies/TV Shows etc) as opposed to streaming (My Shared Movies etc) from that itunes library. In theory direct purchases on AppleTV that have never transferred to itunes might survive the 'wipe for a clean slate for a new sync' process that happens when you remove a sync library but don't risk it and right click on the AppleTV Device in itunes, choose Transfer Purchases if there are any prior to resetting the AppleTV Computers entry and readding the library. If AppleTV is streaming only it's very quick to remove the libarry and re-add it as there's nothing to sync when you re-establish the connection - it works I've done it. Purchasing a protected music video on my other AppleTV1 which was synced also worked.
Good luck

Ideas on Why Some Playlist will not Play?

Some of my playlist will not play when I attempt to click the play button in any of the following situations:
1) List/Grid/Artist View where the Play Button is next to the playlist title - does not work
2) Place the playlist in "Grid View" and select an album in the playlist and then push the play button - does not work
3) drag play list to play status window and it loads into the "up next" and then a click of the main play button - works but an annoying dialogue window pop up on clearing "up next" a lot of dragging and clicking
Tried duplicating the playlist with same set of songs and it behaves the same
Tried creating a smart playlist with generally the same songs "Christmas Genere added in the year 2011" still not playing the playlist
I can go to to "Albums" browser instead of "Playlist" browser and select one of the albums that was in the playlist and the "Album" play button doesn't work either. I can play individual songs but not the album?
I also just noticed that the song are "dimmed" or "greyed" out?
Why is that?
Some playlist work fine.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Checkmarks!
Glad to have them, just have to remember when I use them!
At the end of Christmas last year unchecked the Christmase genere so they wouldn't show up in the DJ and other dynamicaly generated/smart playlists.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, 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.

ITunes Music Folder will not play from external hardrive after setting the correct path

I've decided to try and create some more space for my music collection and decided to keep my entire iTunes library on a portable external hardrive. I researched how to do so online and was successful at first. I set the correct path from the advanced menu so that iTunes would recognize and save music to the folder on my HD. It worked fine last night, but today when I try and access it I get the, "could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" error message when I try and play a song anywhere in iTunes. I then tried to import the library from my external hardrive and then everything was duplicated. I some how reversed the duplication by using time machine and then redownloading iTunes, which is a riduculous story in itself, but thankfully, I am back at square one.
I have over 24,000 songs with a majority of them rated as well as playlists I do not want to lose. I don't understand why it will not play the songs. Can anyone help me?

If you are going to have the library on an ext HD the transfer the entire iTunes folder. This way you capture all the files - not just the music.
Launch iTunes with the 'option' key down and follow the dialog - tell iTunes to open the iTunes library file on the ext HD and things should be ok.

HT1933 iTunes downloaded song will NOT play

Why can I view the song on the playlist (on both iPod and Powerbook) and yet the song will not play on either? It is NOT listed as having been interrupted as a download and the rest of the album plays without incident.

Sounds like a faulty file. Delete it and redownload a fresh one at no extra cost
Goto iTunes Store
Select Purchased from under Quick Links to the right
Navigat to the music you want and click on the cloud button to re download.
If it came from a cd then reimport it.
If it came from another source then they will give you instructions on how to redownload if you can
