Itunes cannot play certain songs and will not add them to the library

i have music files on both a hard drive connected to a router plus i have placed the specific files onto my mac to try to fix this issue to no avail. while songbird, vox, and several other players will easily load correctly and do exactly what i want, itunes will not play these songs, will skip over them when i try to add to the library and will not play the file if i drag and drop, try to load it through the "file, add to library" method. the files are .ogg, .m4a, .mp3, .m4p, and they just will not show up. Any media players out there that will recognize an ipod so i can load these files up and get away from my mac for a while?

@CPL_STEELE: can you try to post these specifications in your own topic? (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=985161&tstart=0)
It's not very nice to take over someone else this topic, because the topic starter (Ganieda) could have another problem than you. It's also very confusing for everyone who is trying to help because there are now 2 problems in the same topic.
Never the less, feel free to follow this topic if you think it could be interesting for you problem.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
Hope this helps!

Why does iTunes drop many songs from an album and will not add them back?

iTunes regularly droping songs/tracks out of albums I've previously added to my library. The files are present in the album folder, but if I delete the album from the library and add it back, it still will not include the previously dropped files. Sometimes I can add them individually using "Add Files" instead of "Add Folder". This is a real pain in the backside, since when I play any album in my library, I can't be certain that all the songs/tracks will be played.

Are you burning as mp3 CD or Audio CD?.
If mp3 CD - then iTunes may remove the .aac audio files. (Just a thought)

My itunes is running really slow and will not recognise any of the 2 iphones 1 "3g" and 1 "4" or my ipod touch ?

my itunes is running very very slow the rest of my pc is fine.
i tunes will not recognise either of my iphones "3gs,4, nor my ipod touch4".
i have uninstalled all apple software and re installed itunes .
i have checked my iphone at a retail store and it was found.
i have the latest version of ie "ie9" and itunes "10.2.2.12".
any ideas what to do ?

Hi Grant, Thanks for the response, much appreciated.
I agree that it should not really run slow however I would really like to upgrade to Lion anyway and thought that doing it via the SSD route would be good way to do it as the SSD should help speed things up once I sort out the underlying issue at present. I also wanted to try and load lion but still have Snow Leopard available on the original drive for the time being till I knew that eveything was working well using Lion but I'm not sure if this is possible and how to do to this.
I have just clicked on 'Verify disk' on HD1 in the utility menu and there is a problem there. It is asking for me to start using another disk such as the mac installation disc but I am not sure where I have put this. Seeing as I have upgraded to SL would this now be the new installation disc and if so, do I just put the disc in the machine and restart?
Thanks for your help

Captivate 8 does not detect Character files in eLearning Assets and will not insert them via the Media Image route.

The eLearning Assets directory was installed in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Characters_8_0.
When I attempt to insert a Character, Captivate 8 (on Windows 7) loads the gallery where they would normally be displayed but this is empty of thumbnails. It does however recognise that their are categories of Business, Casual etc.
Additionally, if I attempt to add any of the Character image files via Media>Image on the toolbar, Captivate 8 reports that the image is either corrupt or not of a supported format. Nevertheless, those very same image files will open in other applications without any problem.
I have tried a reinstall of the Adobe eLearning Assets but this has made no difference.
Any ideas appreciated.

Hi,
I've since discovered that batch processing the images with IrfanView (which is unusual in being able to actually open them) and resizing them (though I dont think this aspect id actually necessary) the images can be worked with in other Windows programs, can be added to a Captivate progect via the Media>Image route but still do not show up in the Gallery of Characters via Media>Characters.
This at least allows us to make use of the Character assets but is extremely time consuming as we need to resort to Windows' own thumbnail capabilities (Large Icons in Windows Explorer) to help make a 'quick' selection
My researches have uncovered a multitude of Adobe/png issues - with Photoshop etc. It would apperar that there are problems associated with both the quality (24 bit) and transparency (being lost or inaccurately interpreted.)
I don't think the images are 'corrupt' as such (they appear to be just 'Adobe'd') as I have installed and reinstalled the eLearning Assets package - both one that was downloaded several weeks ago and one that was downloaded just days ago.
If I encounter (or am provided with a complete solution I will post it here.
Good luck in the meantime.

Itunes is downloading a song and will not stop.

iTunes has been downloading a song for days. I can not get it to stop. I can't even open iTunes.

How to download the same song(track) with different keys? iTunes seems to think I have already downloaded the song and will not download the song in a different key of the Demo Track

How to download the same song(track) with different keys? iTunes seems to think I have already dowloaded the song and will not let me download the song in a different key or the Demo.

Hello Jigz19,
It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:
Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
Open iTunes
Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
Choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab.
The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
If so, then delete the songs:

I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes... "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play. How can I get this message to STOP?

I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes... "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play. How can I get this message to STOP?

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

ITunes 11.0.4.4 crashes when I play certain songs and the problem is spreading.

Ever since I downloaded iTunes 11.0.4.4 (for windows 7), the program has been crashing whenever I play certain songs and at this point the problem is spreading, more and more songs that weren't problems before. I have been through just about every troubleshooting step I could find more than once, reinstalling, safe mode, conflicting programs... if a solution out there was even vaguely related to my problem, I've probably tried it. The only modification that I've made to the program is enabling 1/2 star ratings, and I don't think that's the problem because the earlier versions of itunes worked fine with it, and I've tried temporarily moving the itunes preferences xml to make it generate a new one, and it didn't fix anything.
My library has over 14,200 tracks so I can't possibly delete and then re-add all the problem tracks to iTunes, and even if I could, I've tried doing that with a small number of specific songs already, and while it worked at first some of them have started making iTunes crash again at this point.
I understand that the problem is most likely that my library is corrupted, but I'm very wary of the solutions to that problem that I have seen because I have had to use them before more than once, and each of those times I've lost thousands of songs (last time it was 5,000 tracks) in the process and a shockingly large percentage of the tracks came back disorganized and improperly labeled (some of them as 4 letter strings of capital letters that I can't seem to identify without using shazam) and without ratings ( I have "keep iTunes files organized" and "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" in preferences checked.)
It takes a huge amount of time to redo the information for the amount of tracks I have even if you buy software to help automate it, and it would take me 5.7 days to redo all of the ratings I've done, and ratings are important to me. I've added a lot of new tracks since then and my library is still 2,000 tracks smaller than it was before i had problems last time. The solution scares me enough that I've put it with the crashing for two months now, but it's getting unmanageable. If anyone can give me a way to fix this that would leave my library intact, or at least minimize the damage, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks.

I found this and it worked!!!

I had this exact same problem. I found a fix on another support post that worked perfectly for me. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. Then browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. My iTunes store is working fine now.
God bless!!

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to be locked up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano;

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

TS1646 When I try to purchase a song, it will not let me use the gift card that I redeemed. It directs me to my billing info and says that my session has timed out. How can I fix this?

For some reason this worked for me. I went into my account and changed my first name, maybe it causes itunes to reset. What ever it does my itunes works now.
