ITunes can no longer play CDs, not sure why
Something very strange. For some reason iTunes no longer will play or import audio CDs. I have never had a problem before this playing or importing CDs - I just imported 3 CDs last weekend.
If I insert a CD, iTunes never even mounts it. If I open the CD by double clicking on the drive, and double click the tracks, iTunes opens but doesn't play the songs: it just doesn't do anything.
The CD drive is working fine. I changed the the default progams for .cda files first to real player then to windows media, and both played the songs on the CD without any problems at all. I then reassigned .cda files to iTunes, but it just won't play.
I have tried repairing both iTunes and Quicktime via add/remove programs, and rebooted many times, but still iTunes will not play the songs from the cd or even show it in the sidebar.
What is also strange is that even though iTunes doesn't show the CD as mounted in the side bar, I can still choose "Eject Disk" from the "Controls" menu and it ejects the CD, so it does appear that iTunes can interact with the CD drive, it just does not seem to read the audio files.
It does not matter what CD I try - even older CDs without copy protection. When I run iTunes diagnostics CD/DVD Drive Tests, I get Green lights for "Audio CD found", "Driver correctly installed", and "Audio CD read successfully", but I get a Red light next to "Unable to access audio CD".
I get the same result with the interal CD drive and my external usb2 CD/DVD burner.
I'm out of ideas and would appreciate any advice or help.
Thanks.
Nevermind, I just did some more searching on the boards and found this topic from someone who had the exact same problem.

I stopped TruDirect and everything started working again.
Sorry for the unnecessary post.

Servlets can't access Oracle9i database - not sure why?
Hi there,
I got an error when it throws a SQLException in my Internet Explorer.
Error:
======
SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
Is it bcs i uses scott/tiger?
I places classes12.zip into c:\oraclejdbc
and place this in my classpath:
.;c:\oraclejdbc\classes12.zip;
*Note: I places classes12.jar (also can't work)
Then for a backup reason
I go to C:\Tomcat5\common\classes
and extract the classes12.zip in there
i can see javax and oracle folders
Then.. i make sure in my java codes (no compile error)
java:oracle:thin@wenching:1521:wenching
i was pointing to the right pc name and oracle server ID.
Then i call my servlets into my j2me phone...
it display all the necessary information.. on the data that should be extracted from the oracle 9i database.. display java.sql.SQLException...
There are something wrong?
Can you tell me what i left out? My servlets are working fine?
But i had 2 java files...
WebPage.java calls OracleConn.java
and in web.xml
i only point to WebPage.class and nothing to do with OracleConn (it is just connection classes).
Any help, please?
I also use lots of ways like placing classes12.zip or classes12.jar into many types of folders? Just not sure why cannot?
I did not use the build in Tomcat for Oracle, but the latest Tomcat 5 series. The servelts works fine but not oracle. Could it be this problem? Like allowing which oracle database to call which web server?
Thanks.It works?
After i try this and that.
I just notice 1 thing...
The database is not connected physically.. even i can sql plus.. it!
So i go to Oracle Database Admnistrator for Windows NT..
and connect my servername WenChing..
and now it works.. servlets can connect to oracle...
Hooray!
I hope it stills work when i reboot my machine.. coz i had no idea what i did... :)
Sounds funny isn't it?
Regards.

I no longer have any sound on my macbookpro 10.6.8, not even beginning chime.
Furthermore, I find that I no longer have any images as well as no sound, from any
of my Itunes cinema, tv show purchases, etc.
I recently watched last week a couple of tv episodes through my TV
using a Mini Display Port + Toslink Audio purchased at Apple.
I use this device occasionally and haven't had any problems til now.
Any suggestions to right the problem?.In System Preferences>Sound do you have your internal speakers set as the output source?
You may have toggled on optical output with the Toslink cable - check to see if there's a red light coming from the port. If so, quickly plug and unplug a set of headphones for a number of times to see if you can toggle the switch back from optical to the internal speakers.
Good luck,

After I recently Upgraded iTunes I can no longer play any movies or songs. It says that "The song ______ can no longer be playe because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have no clue where to look as I'm not tech savvy. I did look in previous itunes libraries file and it's empty. Any and all help is appreciated.
The links below illustrate how your iTunes should look if you use default settings in preferences. If you don't use those settings then you have to know what you're doing.
Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
The above links also illustrate the Media folder and its subfolders. Look for a file in there in the logical structure by folder artist and album. If you're lucky, linking one file will get an offer to link others and it iwll all come together again.
I see you are running OSX 10.5.8 it would help to know which version of iTunes you use now and which one you used before. -
iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?
Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,

After yesterday's "update", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library. It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it. What gives? And why does Apple force these constant updates that just screw up everything? It was all working fine yesterday before I ran the update.
Does anyone know where I can get support for this issue?

Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either. anyone help with this?
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
\\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working. -
i have tried:
reloading itunes
unchecking 'write'
removing lower filters in regedit
ensuring i had the correct 'gear' info in the upper filters in regedit
removing 'gear' from regedit, system32
reloading updated version of 'gear'
cleaning my registery
deleting itunes
cleaning registry again
reloading itunes
cleaning registry again
i still cannot burn cd. t i can import and play cds in itunes and i can watch dvds. itunes will just not burn to blank cds, and i have tried sever new blank cds, each is not recognized.
i do not know what else to do, i have searched the internet and whatever i saw doable i tried.
when i check the cd drive in itunes i had gotten a 4220 error, cnet advised to download a free error fixer, however, this error fixer gave me and enduser message, so that didn't work.
the diagnostic for the cd burner read that i had to put in a formatted disc with content so i did and there are the results of that were that it read the cd and that the 4220 errir code was encountered last time there was an attempt to burn.
and 'could not open cd handler 32. there is a problem with the installation of the drive in windows or the drive contains a copyprotected cd.
the above is not the case as it also popped up for me to import cd to itunes.
i tried to copy and past the entire contents here but it would not allow me to paste.
please help!I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

iTunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."
You get this message because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
Do any of these aply to you? -
Can no longer play iTunes-purchased TV shows in QuickTime Pro 7
Had to reformat hard drive due to nasty virus/spyware I couldn't locate and delete (AVG, AOL spyware protector, SpyBot Resident, Kerio Firewall, Windows Firewall all failed to stop it from entering and those plus AdAware all could not get rid of it). Upon redownloading and installing software (iTunes with QuickTime) I can no longer play the TV shows I purchased at iTunes. Is it because I had to copy them to another drive/disk . . . and then copy them back to my hard drive? I've scanned the files with AVG, SpyBot, and AdAware and came up clean. I've changed the file association from iTunes to QuickTime and from m4v to mpg or something . . . and back again.
With every change and attempt I get a pink hazy video, but when I fiddle with QuickTime preferences and save the defaults that it keeps automatically resetting itself to, I can see clear video . . . until I reopen the file.
Help! I am tearing my hair out. I am not tech savvy and cannot find a solution on the discussion boards or elsewhere.
Thanx bunches.
Windows XPNevermind, I changed the metadata of the video file to "music video" instead of "TV show" and I am now able to add it to a playlist X amount of times under the video app.

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?
I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view. -
i subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music - i think it keeps trying to find on the external harddrive where i used to keep my music
Of course iTunes is looking for the music on the external HDD. Enabling iTunes Match does not magically change the location of the iTunes library to the cloud.
To play the music either plug the external HDD back into your computer or create a new, empty library to use for streaming the iTM content. The latter can be accomplished by holding down the Option key when launching iTunes, choosing "create library" then enabling iTunes Match on the new library. DO NOT have iTunes scan your HDD for music. -
Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music? I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music. My other computers are no longer working. Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?
Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

I can no longer burn CDs from my iTunes (Macintosh) playlists. The songs are now formatted as m4a, which might be making them unreadable by my CDs, although this never used to happen before. Can you help? Thanks very much.
After you select Burn, you need to select AudioCD in the pop-up window.
