ITunes doesn't play music after sleeping mode.

iTunes doesn't play music. I try to start any song by remote app in iPhone from sleeping mode of mac mini.
I can see all my music library, choose any artist and any albom.
But when I try to start the music nothing is happen.
The button Play/pause doesn't work and the play-bar is not moving.
This issue have appeared after upgrade to iTunes 11 and new remote app.
After reboot iTunes everything is ok, but in a sleep mode I have the same problem.
Please help!

okay. i solved the problem. After reading a few other posts on related topics, it appears that using either the Setup Assistant(instead of the Airport Admin program) or if you are using the new version called 'Airport Utility' to use the option to 'Assist Me'. After going through the setup in this way it worked!

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. if it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck.

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. If it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck. I've tried to reconnect to the computer to see whethere there has been missing portion during the upgrade... but not really. does anyone have the same issue?

What does "gets stuck" mean?
It repeats?
It stops playing?
Have you tried the basics from the manual? Restart. Reset. Restore.

ITunes doesn't play podcasts in random mode

Hi.
I'm trying to play my podcasts mixed with the rest of my library in random mode. But it seems not to work.
iTunes random session doesn't play any podcast, unless you put them on it manually, what makes random session to play those songs forever (until you erase it).
I tried to create an automatic playlist with all my songs (including podcasts). The playlist is created fine but when I play it in random mode, it jumps the podcasts.
Any ideas of what can I do? Thanks.

First of all, thank you for answering so soon.
I'm using iTunes 6.0.2.23.
The playlist is a smart playlist and it has to agree with three rules:
1- Podcast is true
2- My classification is (zero stars)
3- My classification is more than (zero stars)
With that, I create a playlist with all my songs, plus podcasts. And it is well created.
If I play that playlist NOT in random mode, it plays all the songs, including podcasts.
But if I play that playlist in random mode, it jumps the podcasts.
Goodbye.

11.1.2 iTunes doesn't play music (sticks at 0:00), but plays video

I have recently upgraded to the latest windows 8.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and all associated files (including the latest Quicktime).
I can play videos in iTunes. However, I cannot play music. The player shows I have selected a song, has "loaded" as before up in the top center of the window, displaying title, artist, and time progression bar. It shows at time stamp 0:00, but does not play.
I've attempted to start iTunes in safe mode, but still same problem. Music shows as 0:00 and I cannot play any track. But, I can watch a TV show or music video.
I've also noticed in the iStore, I cannot preview any music tracks before purchase either...
So, um, help?

Okay, further troubleshooting indicates it's an issue with iTunes accessing SMB shares.
1 - Finder, Quicktime and other apps have no problem with the SMB share, mounted as guest with read/write permissions
2 - When I start a new library, with the share mounted AFP, it can add and read just fine.
3 - When I start the existing library, with the share mounted AFP, it immediately tries to mount the SMB and craps out as usual.
4 - I can start a new library with AFP and import the old XML but it will take a full day to import and I don't know what I might lose.
The XML has correct URI whether I mount SMB or AFP. Is there a better way to just tell iTunes, using the existing library, the "/Volumes/share" is now AFP, not SMB?

NEW iBook and doesn´t wake up after sleep mode!

Hi,
I´ve just started to use my new iBook G4 3 days ago, added my user information, and for a little while the wireless internet connection. Then, I closed the display to put it on sleep mode.....and.............it DOESN´T WAKE UP!!!
The hard disk seems to start up correctly (the fan is on and the disk noise is ok), the Caps Lock on the keyboard is on too, but as soon as I reboot the computer, a strange beep (like a phone tone!) starts up, then the sleep light signal flashes but the screen stays black.
I think that by now I´ve tried the most solutions (as far as I can having the black screen) I´ve read on the troubleshooting page and the recommendations posted in this Discussion chat... The iBook remains partially dead.
Help!!!

ummm, even when its not plugged in to the power adapter? i find that when my ibook annoyingly doesnt wake from sleep, its usually because i connected/disconnected something while it was sleeping. even plugging in the power adapter seems to affect it. the way i fix it is to put it to sleep again, and then open the lid. its worked every time so far.
oh, and apprantly 'manually' putting the ibook to sleep does the trick (ie from the apple menu)

ITunes No Longer Plays Music after upgrade to 10.7.3

Since upgrading to Lion 10.7.3, music has stopped playing in iTunes. I double click on a tune, and it looks like it is playing but there is no sound and the little progress bar doesn't advance across the screen. I can play the tunes in the latest version of QT Player. Any idea what might be going on? I am running M-Audio studio monitors through a FocusRite Scarlett DA/AD USB converter box.

Well, after a complete re-start, the problem has gone away. Now I just need to sort out audio and video problems with Skype and FaceTime. But that's for another section of this board. Sorry for the false alarm.

Airport Express doesn't play music after iOS7 / Maverick Upgrade

I have speakers connected through Airport Express so that I can stream music wirelessly through my Macbook / iPhone / iPad.
After upgrade to iOS7 / Maverick, the Airplay does not work. Through all the devices, airplay connects with a really short sound of music initially and then goes blank where all the devices still show Airplay is connected.
Did anyone else face this problem or have a suggested solution?
Thanks for help, much appreciated.
Cheers!

I had the same problem, iPod-app crashes, iPod-app didn't play any music in my car (MINI with USB-Audio interface).
I tried restoring with iOS4 and restored from the recent backup. Same problem.
My last try was to restore the iPhone with iOS4 without restoring a backup (= fresh iPhone 3G with iOS 4.0). Afterwards i've installed some apps and put some music on it. I've tried it in my car: no iPod crashes, works like it should, no problems so far...
The only thing I have to try is Audiobooks. With iPhone OS 3.x I had the problem that sometimes the Audiobooks wont resume the position and played from beginning, hope the fresh install also solves this problem as well.
I'm an iPhone user since the beginning, I've started with the original iPhone with iPhone OS 1.1. During all the OS releases and all device upgrades/replaces I've allways migrated my content, so I suggest that there are some settings from older OS versions that screw up the system. One complete reset is okay for me. It's a bit of work to do (backing up data in each app), but it's worth it.

After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs.

After doing an OS update, now iTunes stops playing music after playing a few songs. Any thoughts about how to remedy this?

Same Problem here. Also, when this happens, it loses whatever album art was playing before. I've tried reinstalling and it doesn't help. Any ideas how to fix this? It's really annoying!

Ipod nano 3rd generation doesn't play music and doesn't synchronize with itunes

I have a ipod nano 3rd generation ( 8 GB) and it suddenly stopped playing music. The ipod doesn't play music even if I choose another song and the ipod doesn't synchronize with itunes anymore. I did a reset of the ipod and I installed itunes new but the synchronization doesn't works.

Get a flashlight and make sure there is no obstruction/dirt/debris in the Nano headphone jack. Be sure you plug the headphones all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

ITunes doesn't play wavs made on PC

I have backed up a number of PC files on a DVD and tried to put them on my iPod shuffle, using iTunes on my MacPro, when I realized that iTunes doesn't play them, so I can't put them on the shuffle. However, those wav files play alright in Quicktime on my Mac. Why not also on iTunes? Is there something that I have to enable, or some sort of conversion that I must do?
The files seem to load in the playlist, then they show in both the playlist and the Music folder. The files seem to be there, for when I Ctrl+click > Get info, within iTunes, it shows their size, sample rate, etc. It's just that they won't play.
Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

Yes, I have played almost endless numbers of WAVs in iTunes. These files have been created with foobar2000, PlexTools Professional, and EAC for the most part.
My PC is switched off right now so I can't play with NMP WAV files and iTunes, but I still think that if you simply use another program to reconvert the problematic files to WAV format again (a lossless process) with known good settings, the files will likely play in iTunes.
Also, it may be that NMP has created "floating point" vs. "fixed point" WAVs, and that would cause problems with iTunes.

Itunes doesn't play songs, help me please

hi guys, i'm an italian boy. my itunes doesn't play any songs that i have; when i click on one song the little blue loudspeaker appears but the song doesn't start. this problem began to exist when i downloaded the latest version of itunes (6.0.5, i think) so i have decided to unistall the latest version and to re-install the old 4.0 version, but the problem persist. maybe i've unistalled some of the pc's programs that were necessary to make itunes operative, but i don't remember which. please help me!!! contact me at [email protected], and sorry for my english...:-)

the same thing is happening to me as well since I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My sound beeps now in everything, from email notifications, to music. But iTunes won't play any songs that I select. Hope to get some feedback.

ITunes doesn't play.... what's up??

Ok, this is weird but I'm afraid the answer might be both obvious and tragic. All of a sudden, iTunes quit working completely, except that everything about it looks perfectly normal. It's not frozen, I can click on my playlists, I can drag the time bar and everything else, but that it doesn't play music, which is sort of an important part of iTunes. The play button does nothing other than briefly turn blue. It doesn't switch to the pause button and the time doesn't start to run. The space bar and the play tab in the menu do nothing either.
I've tried installing the latest version of iTunes, I'm now using 6.0.4. The upgrade didin't help. Everything had been fine until all of a sudden yesterday I couldn't get it to work. Now, the only problem I can think of is something sort of badand scary.... the disk utility has been telling me for a year now that my hard drive "has reported a fatal error." But so far everything has been working fine. Is there something about a fatal error that could keep the play button from working? I know fatal errors are serious, but this hasn't been causing any problems.... I've just been holding my breath for a year, and backing up a lot.
Are there any suggestions anybody can make, other than getting a new iBook, which is a sweet idea but out of the question at the moment?

Since you installed a new version, it's unlikely the iTunes application is the culprit.
The only thing I can thinks of at the moment, is deleting the iTunes preference files.
Drag the next files in ~/users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences to the desktop:
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
com.apple.iTunes.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist (x-es are characters and numbers)
The last file is located in the Byhost folder of the above mentioned path.
Run iTunes and try again to play a song.
Hope this helps.

Yosemite upgrade: function keys no longer work, no keyboard lights and have to sign in twice after sleep mode. Anybody else having these problems?

Hi,
Since I did the Yosemite 'upgrade' last week I have been having problems with my MacBook Pro that never happened before. The most frustrating problems involve my keyboard which doesn't light up (checked my settings and they are correct) and the top row of function keys don't do anything so I can't adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Then if my screen goes into sleep mode, when I wake it back up I have to sign back in twice - I never had to sign in at all after sleep mode before.
I'm finding that in order to get it working properly I am having to completely shut down and start up again but when the keyboard problems are happening I can't get anything on the apple dropdown to work either (i.e. shut down, restart, etc) so I can only shut down by pressing and holding the on/off button.
I've never had problems with my Macbook before and feel like Apple have completely ruined it in one update! I've had a look through other posts on here but can't find anybody else having these problems so I would be really grateful if anyone could help me and offer me some advice on how to sort it out.
Thanks!

No video after sleep mode.

Brand new home built system (all new components unless noted otherwise) running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium on the following hardware:
MSI X58 Pro-E motherboard,
Intel Core i7-920 (2.66) CPU,
Enermax PRO82+ 525W powersupply,
Sapphire ATI HD5670 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E video,
8GB Corsair 1333MHz RAM,
WD Velociraptor 150GB 10,000 RPM boot drive,
WD 500GB Caviar Black for file storage,
Plextor DVD-RW,
CoolerMaster case.
Older Viewsonic VP2030B monitor,
Older Microsoft Desktop 6000 V2 keyboard/mouse.
With standard Windows 7 power saving features enabled, the following
intermittent problems occur:
After the system has gone into sleep mode, the video card provides no signal to the monitor. Moving the mouse or touching keys on the keyboard obviously bring the system back out of sleep mode, but no video signal is received. Unplugging the DVI-D
cable from the card results in the Windows sound indicating a change. Plugging it back in, results in a Windows sound indicating the change. This happens when you unplug one end of the cable, it doesn't matter if it is at the monitor end or the video card
end - as long as the other end is of course still plugged in. The only resolution to this "no video" state is to reboot the computer with the power or reset button.
On some occasions when turning the PC on, there is no video signal. The system boots properly (although the BIOS screen takes about 15 seconds to appear - something MSI says is OK), and can be shut down with the correct keyboard sequence. The monitor
runs through VGA, DVI-A and DVI-D, but no signal is ever received so it goes into standby mode.
When the computer boots properly, usually while it is still loading Outlook (which is set to start automatically), the screen goes completely blank for 5 or more seconds, then comes back on and the monitor menu indicates that it is running at the correct
resolution, and then the video works correctly from there on in - unless it goes to sleep.
On some occasions, when recovering from a "no video after sleep mode" incident, everything on the screen has been moved towards the upper left side of the screen. The Outlook window which is normally quite large (80%) and centred on the screen has been reduced
in size to about 50% and shoved into the top left corner. Also, the 4 gadgets that normally run vertically along the right side of the screen have been moved up and towards the middle of the screen, one or two of them often overlap others.
Things I have done/tried:
All Windows 7 updates,
All motherboard BIOS updates,
All video card drivers and software updates from ATI,
Replaced the DVI-D cable,
Uninstalled the video card and drivers, and moved the card to a different PCI-E slot,
Replaced the video card with another Sapphire ATI HD5450 card (temporarily).
Sapphire thinks it's a hardware problem with the original card, but since temporarily replacing it with another card, the problems continue, so I doubt that is the issue. (Plus I have to pay $25 to ship the apparently defective - under warranty card - back
to them.)
These problems have happened intermittently since the system was built in January 2010 and they seem to be quite random, sometimes not happening for weeks, other times happening every few days. Sometimes the system is in sleep mode for 1/2 hour and it happens,
other times it is in sleep mode for hours and it happens (or doesn't).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi again,
OK, I finally got around to trying this. I still have to check if that actually fixed it, but I managed to get into the "Factory" OSD screen.
I had my system running, disconnected my new monitor and plugged in the flaky old Viewsonic. I then:
1. Depressed and held down the #2 button, then depressed and held down the Power button,
2. Almost immediately the amber power light turned-on, the backlight turned on and the output image from the PC showed up.
3. The On Screen Display (OSD) for all the monitor setting came up (at the bottom of the screen instead of the middle where it normally is), and underneath the Main Menu window in the OSD, along the bottom of the overall OSD window, the word "Factory" appears
in the middle between the control button keys (#1 for exit, and #2 for enter). (It's not normally there.)
4. Using the down arrow key on the face of the monitor, I highlighted the "Factory" menu item, pressed the #2 key and voula! there was a whole new simple white text on bright blue background window, which among all sorts of settings included "Factory Reset"
(which is the default selection).
5. I pressed #2 again to accept and it was done.
All that is left is to do is some user testing to see if the monitor behaves as new.
Additional informtion: in the top of the "Factory" menu it reads: "LOVP AU Ver.0.36"
I took photos of everything and will post them on my Flickr account. To find them go to wwww.flickr.com, click on the search button, then on the next screen click on the People tab, enter my name and click search.
Thanks again for the advice.
Tom
