ITunes 7.2 won't play music from my iPod.

I just installed itunes 7.2 today, and plugged in my ipod. However, it just showed the info about my ipod (gigs available, name of it, ect.) but won't recognize the songs! Help! When i try to uncheck the manually manage music box, it tells me that all my songs on my ipod will be replaced by my library. I really don't want this to happen since I have over 5 gigs on my ipod.

Click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view and what's on your iPod.

How do i play music from my ipod shuffle gen 4 on external powered speakers

Can I play music from my IPOD shuffle gen 4 using external powered speakers? If so, how do I hook it up?

First a curiosity question. Why do you want to play through the computer? Why not use headphones?
Ok, now to your question. I have never done this before, but this intrigued me. I did some experimenting and got it to work. Here is what I did:
1) Connect Touch to computer.
2) Open iTunes.
3) Your device will show up in the left panel.
4) Click the little triangle next to your device to expand it.
5) You now have access to the different content on the Touch.
I have played stuff from Music, Movies and my playlists. Everything works the same way as if it was on your PC.
Hope that helps and good luck!

HT1329 Can I connect my old iPad to my iPod to play music from my iPod

Can I use my old iPad to play music from my iPod.

No. There is no built-in software functionally to directly access an iPod from an iOS device, such as an iPad.

I have a iPod clsic load it with the music I like. I want to sync all my iPod music with the iTunes library (new) without missing any music from my iPod. How I do that?

IPhone 4S won't play music from internal speaker

My iPhone 4S is having an issue with the internal speaker. Originally, I was able to play music from iTunes, Pandora, videos, etc. w/out having headphones or an external speaker system connected to the audio input. Now, the phone isn't playing back sound from the internal speaker, unless I have headphones/speaker connected. Keyboard clicks and text message alerts are also not coming through, even though that option is turned on. The Ring/Silent button is on, the volume is on high, and I've also restarted the phone a few times. The only way I've got the internal speaker to play w/out having an external speaker system connected to the audio input is if I test different ringers; then it will playback, but not for any other audio format (videos, songs, keyboard clicks, etc.)
Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I'm out of ideas...Thank you!!

iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
You may want to ask in the right forum.

Apple TV won't play music from one device via Home Sharing.

So I have just bought a new Mac, with which I got an Apple TV. I'm trying to save disk space on my Mac so I've setup my old computer (with my old iTunes library) as a Home Sharing hub kind of thing. However, the Apple TV seems not to want to play music from this device...it shows the song, but the buffering symbol comes up under the song and nothing happens. Sometimes some songs will work, and shuffling also seems to work, but it will randomnly skip some songs without even attempting playback.
I've tried playing the same music on the Apple TV via Home Sharing on my Mac — fine. I've tried listening to the music (and just generally playing music) using Home Sharing from my old laptop to my Mac and it's fine, impressively speedily, in fact.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what may cause this?
Thanks

I added my music to iTunes years ago. Most of it was with version 6.x of iTunes. I see all of my music and it plays fine so something else must be triggering the problem.
I also have 'Show list checkboxes' checked.

ITunes 7.4 won't play music videos

When I doubleclick on a music video, iTunes 7.4 won't play the video, only the music. Music videos where playing fine with prior versions of iTunes. No matter which option I choose in the Video Playback preferences, iTunes won't launch the video. Restarting iTunes didn't bring back music video playback either. Podcasts and Movies are playing just fine though.
Any help ?
Thanks

I had the same problem and I landed here - OS10.7, had iTunes 10.5.2 *thinking* it was playing - acts like it was?, shows pause icon - no audio, no actual playback. ...Scrubber dot didn't move onPlay click. (And, dam, I was hungry for music!), but.. That's where I discovered it. Of course, I had browser audio probs, too - YouTube, Hulu - and Skype - any app output audio was affected...
   I struggled with this for at least a day! Frustrated, I took out my other OS10 boot drives and tried troubleshooting... No dice. I halted CoreAudioD (whew) out of desperation... I checked my audio lines.. Then I remembered I installed a trial of ProTools with an Avid audio driver (maybe looking for Digi-approved devices) at around the time of trouble.
     My SysPref audio panel was showing only Avid's device - no line in, no ext spkr.. So, I ran the ProTools uninstaller to try that. That's where EVERYTHING went back to absolutely normal! (After the restart). SysPref Audio panel shows all! I selected LineOut (for me), and I got it.
     iTunes and other audio-service-consuming apps suddenly didn't take 4 minutes to launch!, and my Lion install was like I first had it. ProTools has a dedicated uninstaller - install that clean. If you have a PT install that works, check the iLok config - my iLok is active and attached, but not for PT 10. Maybe it's avid device->CoreAudio, may it's due to the PT trial???... Whatever it was, for me, the problem lied there.
     Hope that helps any of you guys. Good luck and thanks for the direction, bros..

Airport Express Network won't play music from Base Station and remote spkrs

Is there any way i can hook up speakers to the base statino and the remote speakers? I am getting a message that says the base station is not configured to play music as part of the group. it says I can play music from base station, but not simultaneously with the living room speakers which i have set up on a repeater airport express.
Thanks,
PW

Well, I can choose multiple speakers, "living room" and "computer," and they play out of both, but it will not play from multiple speakers if I include the base station, which is hooked up to speakers in my office. The base station will only play if I choose it exclusively, and I wondered if there was something i needed to do to configure the base station to enable it to play as well.

Playing music from my ipod on a different computer

Hi,
I have an ipod mini, which is synced to my iMac at work, where I have a large itunes library. At home, I have an old G3 iMac, with only little space, so I don't have any music in my itunes library. Up to recently, I just played my music from the ipod at home. But since syncing at work with itunes 7.02, I can no longer play music at home from the ipod. I can see all the songs, but they are not playable, both in the ipod music folder, or the selection folder created.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Are the songs showing up as light grey text? Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen would indicate that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you would need to change the update method to manual in the iPod preferences: Managing content manually on iPod

[SOLVED] Luck with playing music from an iPod Touch 4th Generation

I have tried to play music from clementine (which is my "when the doodoo hits the fan music player") using my iPod because I know how well it syncs. Unfortunately, I can view my library of music but when I attempt to play a song, it will crash. On a side note, I have tried the ifuse and git variants of clementine, libimobiledevice, and ifuse with no luck. Please do not hesitate to notify me of my ignorance if there is a solution located within these forums.
Anyone willing to give some helpful advice will be much appreciated, thank you.

It won't work. The music database associated with 4th gen ipod touch hasn't been cracked by the libimobiledevice team. Any device earlier than that will work, as long as the database hasn't been updated past version 4. It is ridiculous considering how long the iPod 4G and iPhone 4 have been out.
I know how it feels. I have had a 4th gen ipod touch and have always had to sync it in Windows.

HT1351 my old computer crashed (without backing up my itunes). Can I sync my music from my iPod to my new computer?

My old computer crashed with my entire iTunes library. It was not backed up and now my only music library is on an older iPod Nano. Is there a way of getting my music from my iPod to my computer so that I can then get my music onto my iPhone 4S?
Thank you,

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer, add them to your iTunes library. Then, you can sync the iPod and iPhone to that iTunes library.
NOTE: For any previous song purchases from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. You need to be signed in using the same Apple ID used for purchasing.

ITunes 10.5 won't play music off NAS, 9.2 did.

Keep music on NAS drive so can be shared by 5 other users, the NAS does support iTunes. After upgrade to 10.5, iTunes won't play from the NAS. The drive does appear in the left hand column, but new library screen opens just briefly then closes. Same for both PCs and Macs. 10.5 working on each computer's own library. What changed in 10.5? fixes?

Nearly all NAS devices use Firefly as an iTunes 'server'. Firefly is based on the mt-daapd code. Both Firefly and mt-daapd are effectively discontinued and unsupported. While Firefly does not and never has supported newer technologies like the Apple Remote app for iPhones and also never supported connecting to an Apple TV2, it did work for basic use via iTunes for Mac or Windows.
Apple have unfortunately been tweaking the daap protocol in iTunes and as a result have now several times broken compatibility with Firefly.
The ideal solution would be for all the NAS makers to dump Firefly since it is well behind the times, and switch to an alternative open-source package called forked-daap which does work with Apple Remote and Apple TV2.
I can say that NetGear have now issued a patch for Firefly running on their ReadyNAS boxes so it once again can limp along and work with iTunes 10.5. This particular occasions cause of the problem in iTunes 10.5 has been discovered and how to resolve it (clearly since NetGear have already fixed theirs) so it should not be too long before QNAP and the others catch up.
In the long run it would still be better if they all switched to forked-daap.

ITunes runs but won't play music anymore

Since upgrading to 6.0.2 audio files no longer play at all (I don't hear any audio and the diamond in the progress bar does not move) in iTunes for Windows. I'll hit the PLAY button and it changes color, acknowledging I clicked on it, but it won't play. I've uninstalled, and reinstalled but the problem remains. I followed the help article that mentions compatability mode but it was useless. Does anyone have any suggestions or have seen this before?

Here's a link to a recent thread where lots of people had the same problem. See if any of these recommendations work:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=292137
Just one word of caution--in another thread a previous poster said your have to install standalone Quicktime 7.0.3 instead of the current version 7.0.4. I don't know if this is true--maybe you could search the forums for more posts on this subject. Or, if someone knows for sure they can add their 2 cents.

How to play music from my iPod in iTunes?

I have installed iTunes 7.5 on a second computer and plugged my iPod. I can see its content but everything is grey and I can not play the songs?
Why?
How can I solve this?
Thanks a lot
Olivier

Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to update automatically (sync). If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods: Safely Disconnect IPod
