Itunes does not play after importing into timeline

I have looked at similar topics in this discussion forum but still unable to get the answers.Basically the problem is that after importing (purchased) itunes(6) music(and it imports OK)there is no music when played back in the time line.In the imovie palette (audio view) the itunes music plays normally.CD is also greyed out even if there is a CD in the CD drive,so obviously CD tracks cannot be played.Itunes 'by itself' plays normally and CD is also recognised.Voice overs thru microphone,original audio from footage also plays normally.All boxes ticked on the right/computer volume set to high etc so setting seems allright.I am using formac studio to import analogue footage and can hear the original sound when importing.Using imovie 3.03 on ibook.this may/maynot be relevant-on the G3 imac in imovie(3.03)the itunes/CD tracks imports and plays on the timeline,however the original footage soundtrack sounds like gunfire from a machine gun.It is normal with the imported itunes soundtrack switched off.
Grateful for any thoughts/adv

Hi rav - are you sure that if you have a CD installed you cannot see its tracks in the Audio Pane? Even though 'Audio CD' is greyed out, the contents of the CD are still there and accessible.
Can you convert the track to mp3 format? iMovie does accept mp3s. Doing so might break the deadlock.
Sorry, I can't help with your other audio issue.

ITunes does not play Podcasts in a row

Hi everybody.
Why is it, that iTunes does not play Podcasts in a row like it does in individual playlists. It stops after each episode of a subscribed Podcast and I have to manually trigger the next one. Even more so, the iPod returns to its main menu after each episode in a Podcast. This is annoying, especially when I am driving or jogging.
Do I have to organize my Podcasts in playlists or is there another trick or tweak?
Thank you!

Playlists are a possible workaround, but I just drill into the genre -> Podcast -> "All" -> podcast name to get to a list that plays straight through.

Rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

Hello b noir.
Thank you for your interest in solving my problem.
What I did I opened iTune. I read the information about what does my computener need to play back a rented movie. My computer is okay to play back rental movies. So I went to the iTunes store, I searched for the movie I want to watch, i singned in into my Mac account and I bought the movie. The movie started to download to my computer, it took some time because I bought a HD version, but it never stop and after a couple of hours or little less the movie was in the Rented folder of my iTunes and also I checked to be sure that was in the movie folder. So, next day I open iTunes and click on the movie, it opens but I wait for five minuetes and never started to play back, so I tried several time and I looked for info in different internet forums but I couldn't find anything that help. So I posted the problem in this forum and also I called Apple. Apple contacted me and they let me to download the movie again. So I did it and now I will watch the movie later. Not sure if the movie will play back normally or if I am going to have the same problem. I'll keep you posted.
Apple representative did not know why this happened.
Thanks.

Hello Wizzie71,
It sounds like you updated iTunes and now it will not open. Try the steps outlined in the following article. You may need to re install iTunes but your library will remain intact if you do.

10.2.8 Finder does not load after getting into OS X

I am pretty sure this happened to a lot of people, as I have read many many messages on this issue.
My computer is a Powerbook 867 with 128built in DDR and 512 added.
40Gb internal HDD and a 40GB firewire 3G ipod (the old 3G).
Here's the problem:
Last night just when I finishsed watching some divx on VLC running on 10.2.8, I quitted VLC using apple+Q, then closed the finder window i opened with apple+W. They both closed, but then the finder just did not respond (or have quitted). There isn't a little triangle below my finder icon on the dock. Everything else on the dock works perfectly fine. Desktop icons have disappeared.
Now I have restarted, nothing helps; went on apple discussion and found some "HELPFUL" solutions - deleting the finder preferences. First how was I suppose to delete it? ok... I installed a 10.2.3 on my ipod and boot it through there, also did a repair permission on my internal HDD. Finally deleted the com.apple.finder.plist.. So I booted up using my internal again. But still... finder DOES NOT LOAD after I got into my OS X.
Please if anyone can give me a solution to this problem!
P.S. the finder on my ipod is working fine. AND I do not want to reinstall OS X on my interal because I only did it last week after it went to service after a HDD fail (it has been replaced).

Check System Preferences - Accounts
Choose you account - login items: If iTunesHelper
shows up - remove it it will prevent re-installation.
It did not have iTunes in the list, just mail and iCal alarm. Deadlines and emails are vital in my home office.
Now that I think about it, adding Mail to the list was the only thing that I had changed to the computer when this happened, but I can't imagine how that would alter permission to install on the OS.

Sometimes itunes does not play songs

From time to time my itunes stops playing: When I select
a song in my library or a song in the itunes store, the song
is displayed at the top, but itunes does not start playing.
Additionally, it won't play any other song.
When I close the itunes software (hitting [x] at the top
of the window), I cannot restart itunes until I end
the still living process itunes.exe in the task manager.
When I restart itunes afterwards, the same songs in the
library (or in the itunes store) play properly.
I use itunes 7.2.0.34, but the problem also existed
with earlier versions (I think they startet with 7.x)
and still persists.
I followed the hints in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610,
no change.
Does anybody experience similar problems?
This is really frustrating!
Thanks,
Mario

Just as an update, someone suggested reinstalling iTunes to fix the problem. I don't know if you loose the songs in your library but I asked the kind person that answered my question.

ITunes does not start after Lion installation

hi,
after upgrading to the latest iTunes version and to Lion, I get "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?".
Precise:
I upgraded iTunes to the latest version (from the previous one, I am a regular upgrader) yesterday afternoon around 15:00, then I worked several hours on my iTunes library (including some new buys). At night I then installed Lions. After starting Lions, iTunes does not start anymore.
I have read the threads about copying old library files from the "previous iTunes Libraries" folder. But if I do that, I will loose the entire afternoon work. Anyway it I cannot understand why iTunes now believes to be older after Lion installation than before...
Can somebody please help?

Hi,
after backing up, I downloaded the latest version again and it really worked.
Strange that evidently the Lion installation did revert yesterdays upgrade from iTunes. Now it works, including all my latest changes from yesterday.
Case solved:)

11.0.5.5 64-bit on Win 8: music does not play after update

Recently prompted to update itunes software to 11.0.5.5 64-bit (Win 8). Did so and now music does not play. Music library is correct but when I select a song and then push the "play" triangle itunes says it is playing but tracker does not move off of "0:00". Any ideas?

The issue is probably not the machine you purchased the music on. The issue is very likely the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
It sounds like the music being skipped on your iPhone 5 was purchased with some Apple ID that is not currently authorized in the iTunes (on your computer) that you sync to. So you should go to that computer, open iTunes, do Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu, enter that Apple ID and password, then sync your iPhone 5 to that iTunes.

ITunes will not play/allow import of any audio files

I have iTunes installed via Windows 7. Yesterday, iTunes stopped playing any audio files. I first noticed this problem after streaming music to my apple TV went bonkers. I tunes would play the first 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next one, even though all music played fine through iCloud on my apple TV. Afterwords all audio files just stopped playing with an error. Before this time everything worked fine.
I double click on them or right click on play and nothing happens, period. Of note, almost all the artwork that was associated with the audio files has also disappeared in itunes. I can still play video files with sound through itunes without any problem. I can play all music through quicktime, vlc, etc. without any issue. I can also link to my pc-itunes library and play the same music through iTunes installed on my mac without issue. I can play samples fine through itunes via the itunes store.
I tried I have tried unistalling iTunes, Quicktime, etc. (following Apple's recomendations for unistalling) with subsequent reinstalls now 3 times. I even paid good money for RegCure Pro to clean the registry - still the same problem.
I also cannot import audio files into itunes on my pc now either - dragging and dropping as well as, going through the menu - nothing works!
This has got to be the most frustrating issue that I have had to deal with on a computer!
Please help!

I have now discovered the problem. The hard drive that I was using for iTunes was Dirty; meaning that something was corrupted. As a result I had to copy all file to a temp location and reformat the drive. This solved the problem. Of note, I had formatted the drive the first time using exFAT in hopes of being apple to use if needed with my mac mini.

ITunes does not want to import folder

Hi there.
Vista Prof with latest iTunes.
I lost my harddrive without any backups of the songs on my iPod. I have read a couple of replies to people with the same problem. One was to import the songs via the "Add folder to library" option. Before I chose this, I have managed to copy all the songs from my iPod (as an external drive) to my PC. I have ticked the option to also copy the songs to the iTunes library when importing folders.
Problem:
Nothing happens when I choose "Add folder to library".
Am I doing something wrong or what else can I try?
Thanx for your help.
Deon

I am having this EXACT same problem.
I changed computers, copied all of my files onto my iPod, put them back onto the hard drive on the new computer and they simply WILL NOT import into iTunes. I've tried drag-and-drop, I've tried import folder and I've tried import file. Import file will work, but I'm literally having to add files one-by-one. It's an utterly maddening task, and it's one that has worked without fail for me in the past, so I'm tempted to blame Vista.
I too have my settings such that they will import/copy the files into the appropriate folders.

Older DV Tapes Will Not Play or Import Into iMovie

I have a lot of DV tapes shot ten years ago on a JVC camcorder that I want to import into iMovie.
I have a new Canon Vixia hv 30 and I'm assuming these older mini DV tapes are compatible because these old tapes play fine in the camcorder itself, and also on my TV, but when I try to import them into iMovie, they do not display in the iMovie import window. However, new tapes shot recently with the new hv 30 display and import just fine.
Is there a problem with the old tapes being incompatible in some way I'm not understanding?
Dino1956 answered a similar problem in 2008:
*iMovie Camcorder Import Fix*
*Connect your camera. put it in 'play' mode (sometimes also called vcr). start up imovie (hd or 08; both work, but i use HD). go to the blue 'import' screen. it should just say 'camera connected'.*
*Now comes the trick. don't click import, but instead put your camera in 'record' mode. you should now see whatever it is that your aiming the camera at on your computer screen.*
*QUICKLY put your camera back in play mode. again very quickly press the 'play' button, either on the imovie import screen or on your camera. your DV tape will start to play back.*
*-On my computer, the video now suddenly shows up in imovie! You can now click the 'import' button in imovie, and imovie will start importing the tape in realtime. This is a bit slower than the normal import method, but hey, at least you can now get your video into imovie!*
...but this solution doesn't work for me. I cannot "quickly" click the Play button on the camera monitor or in the iMovie window after switching from record to Play on the camera because there is a 5 second time lag on both the camera's monitor and in the iMovie window while the iMovie screen/camera monitor switches over from Record to Play.
Is there any way I can get older DV footage into iMovie from my Vixia hv 30? My resources are at a very low ebb right now.

I found a clue on the www.hv20 website: Old DV tapes recorded before HDV...you need to go into the hv 30 menu and select "DV" rather than "HDV", then the video shows up in the iMovie import screen and imports easily.

ITunes does not start after updating or reinstalling

After the latest iTunes update I can not start the app anymore. Even reinstalling does not help. What might be the problem?
When reinstalling it does not want to download Apple Mobile Device. When I want to open the app it says MSVCR80.dll was not found. Error 7 Windows error 126. This happens continuously even if I repair, uninstall and reinstall the app. Is this a common problem at this moment with iTunes?

What happens when you try?
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
