ITunes 6 tracks will not play

Since upgrading to iTunes 6.0.1 I have not been able to play any tracks or CD tracks - the track name and other information appears at the top but the diamond will not move - you can advance the diamond but still the track will not play. Any clues? I did try to update 'Quicktime' too but it asks for registration information I don't have.
G4 Cube 450   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

I feel such a fool for not checking this first off - but who knows it may help some one else!
While looking in "system preferences' I noticed that there was no 'output device' (even though the volume icon was showing). As my dear old cube uses a USB external amp and speakers a quick tweak of the plug and hey presto it reappeared in the 'system profiler' and guess what - iTunes plays!
Sorry once again for being stupid - by you never know it my just help some one else!

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

    I purchased a song from iTunes however it will not play.  I get a message telling me I need to authorize my PC, when I go through the steps as directed I get a message saying this PC is already authorized however the song still will not play.  Any help?

    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.

  • I have songs in my iTunes App that will not play.  It keeps saying that this computer is not authorized to play would you like to authorize it.  I would but its asking me to authorize an account that was changed.  What do I do????

    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 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

  • 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

  • I bought a movie on itunes and it will not play even after re-downloading it.

    I bought a movie on itunes, it would not play. I contacted apple support people, and they told me to delete and re download it, I did that and it still will not play, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if my itunes isn't up to date, or maybe it's because I'm not trying to play it on an apple device. Whatever the case me be, I just really want to watch this movie, or get a refund.

    You should be able to play films on windows computers, if it wasn't compatible with it (e.g. you should have got an error if you tried to buy an HD film on non-HD compatible computer).
    The current version of iTunes is 11.4 - you can see if there are any updates available via the Help > Check For Updates menu option.
    Or you can download the current version of iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    What happens when you try to play the film, and do other videos that you have in your iTunes play ok ?
    If you can't get it to play but other videos play ok then contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
