ITunes all of a sudden won't play screen goes blank

iTunes trailers was working perfectly last week, now when I hit play on a movie screen
just darkens and won't play movie, please help

I've seen a problem like this before. This was a solution that worked for me, as long as the songs were still visibly listed in iTunes. Select the song and check to see if the album art window says "Album Art Not Modifiable" (remember to set the album art window to "Selected Song" not "Currently Playing"). If the album art is NOT modifiable, select the songs that won't play, then go to Advanced > Convert ID3 Tags..., then click the check box next to ID3 tag version, and select the highest version, (currently v2.4).

ITunes all of a sudden won't sync non-purchased songs

Title says it all, other day updated to 7.0.3. Sync wouldn't update the 3 new cd's I had added and furthermore, those artists that the cd's belonged to wouldn't play. Meaning any previous song by those artists on my phone also wouldn't play.
7.0.4 fixed nothing infact it just straight up removed all my non-purchased songs off my phone. iTunes claims there's 1,000 songs on my iPhone but only the 200ish I've purchased show up. If I go to "on this phone" it shows nearly every song with a grey circle next to it.
This is ridiculous.

Forgot to add also, all the purchased songs on my phone have the cloud/download button so technically they aren't even there either. Would have to go through and download all of those as well.
iTunes keeps just randomly changing how much space is available. It goes from what it should be (2.5ish GB) down to 8 GB free, all of a sudden will jump to only 500 MB free. Dunno if that is screwing with the Sync, phone things it has no room to add the songs.

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. Thi

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked. Please help!

Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

Same problem - happened after recent logic update.

I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play.

I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play. It is present in the videos app but doesn't load the picture for the movie. When I go to play it, it just opens and then closes. There is an iCloud icon that suggests the movie has not Been downloaded and when I click it it says that the movie has already been rented but not downloaded and that I need to go to downloads to manage it. It is not present in my iTunes download page however. And when I go to rent it again all I get is a watch button that directs me back to the videos app with no way to watch it.

Movies suddenly won't play on iMac w/ Maverics

All movies (YouTube, Vimeo, my own on internal or external drive) suddenly won't play on iMac. Just started happening 3 days ago.

They just didn't play from browsers, my own mp4's, or .mov files, iMovie wouldn't work either; but solved it today by simply re-loading OS 10.9.2. Everything works fine now.
THANKS!

I rented a movie from itunes(The Untouchables), and it won't play. It lets me click on it but then is just black and won't play. I saw that I was billed for it. What should I do?

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.

When I connect my shuffle to iTunes on my pc it won't play music. Please help

Hi there, When I connect my shuffle to iTunes on my pc it won't play music. Please help

Except for the first shuffle model, the shuffle connects to the computer using the headphones jack, so there is no way to play it when it is connected to the computer. I guess maybe I don't understand the question...

HT1420 I bought song with itunes card. The song won't play on my computer or devices. The messages says I need to authorize my computer to play the song. However, when I "authorize" my computer I get message that this computer is already authorized.

and, what is even more strange...
I actually bought 2 Billy Joel songs NY State of Mind from Essential Billly Joel and Italian Restaurant from Greatist Hits vol 1. Neither song would play.
I went back the Apple store and tried to re-download NYSOM. It let me do it for free. Before I checked I tried to re-dowload IR but inadvertantly selected same song but from The Stranger. I had to pay for this one. The re-downloaded NYSOM still didn't work but IR I bought from Stranger worked. So, I bought NYSOM from Greatest Hits vol 1. Didn't work!!! Tried again and bought from another album, Turnstiles, and that one worked. So, I bought 5 songs, only 2 of which will work.
So, now I ask - is there any way to get my money back?

Sometimes when I try to choose a song, it won't play, but goes to the "music" icon, and it wiggles.

It sounds like you might actually have 4G iPod Touch or 6G Nano as the 4G Nano does not have icons. Use this article to help you verify what model iPod you own.

Have you tried a hard reset to see if that does any good?

My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off. How do I fix this?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.
