ITunes doesn't recognize or play any of my music files...?

I recently bought an iPhone and today I uploaded iTunes on to my PC so I can put my music onto my phone(I use Windows Vista). I've previously been using a Zune and Zune software. Before I downloaded iTunes I uninstalled the Zune software from my computer(all my music files are still on my computer). My problem is that I don't know how to get my music files to play in iTunes, it recognizes about 23 of 150+ artist I have on my computer but none of that even plays and the rest of my files just don't show up...
help??

  • Itunes doesn´t import and play PCM 5.1 audio files bounced by Logic Pro X

    Hello Evebody!
    I use to make many surround mix in logic pro X, and it bounces a PCM 5.1 surround files (.wav)
    How I need to organize and Play this mix the itunes should be the best software to do it, however
    Itunes don´t reconize this .wav file when I try to drag on its list. The preview by space bar plays the
    surround very well the QuickTime as well but Itunes do not accept this kind of file.
    If someone knows how to help me with this issue please let me know. I read that itunes accept DTS 5.1 formats
    but I want play only the audio file not a movie track.
    Thank´s
    Paulo

    Fool Of God, thanks much! I will give this a try. Man, if it's not one thing it's another! I love Apple, but if they keep breaking things, they're going to help Microsoft!
    **UPDATE** This work-around did work for me as well, and you're right Fool Of God, makes NO sense at all. The M4A file is 83 MB while the MP3 is only 63. So it has to be a glitch with importing MP3's of any size. Seems that 50MB is the limit. Thanks again, you saved my day!

  • ITunes doesn't work after update now! Says music files have been moved, would I like to locate them, then everything freezes.

    I need some help! I've spent hundreds of dollars on iTunes music and suddenly every time I click the "play" button the entire service just freezes and stops responding. The only way I can even get to a play button that doesn't freeze is through the iTunes store. But at that point when I click "play", it tells me the song can't be played because the file isn't in its original location. It asks me if I'd like to locate it, and if I click yes, it brings me to a screen that I can't do anything with. Nice update. It was just fine until now. What can I do to get my music back???

    "She says it doesn't work because the iPod is too old and Apple doesn't suport it any more."
    She is wrong.
    Since you do not mention what happens when you try it is hard to help.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Everything on the ipod came from your computer in the first place.  It should still be there and you should always have a backup copy.

  • Itunes doesn't recognize ipad nor iphone 4 after upgrade to 10.1.1.4

    Hi,
    i upgraded itunes to version 10.1.1.4 in order to do the updates of OS on my ipad and iphone4. But now itunes doesn't recognize both devices any more, which wasn't a problem before the upgrade. It's not an USB problem, since the notebook recognizes both devices, but takes it for a camera and is searching for a proper software, but in itunes both do not show up. Did anyone have the same problem? Any idea what to do?
    Thanks
    Marc

    You know what, I discovered the solution today, while syncing my iTouch. All I did was , remove my mobile me account from my iphone. Turn it off, then on. Add my mobileme account back to my iphone. Then connect it back to iTunes..... it was fixed! Woohoo!!
    I decided to share the news and found that BSC had a solution! Its pretty much same thing I did, but THANKS so much for responding!! It worked!

  • Itunes doesn't recognize Ipod even though Itunes appears!!!!

    Itunes doesn't recognize Ipod even though Itunes pops up! I dropped it like 1 foot in the air once and landed on concrete. Now everything's fine until I play a song and it will just skip, freeze or just play a little bit and then skip. I don't think this is the problem but this is getting more wierd. I've tried almost every solution in this site but none of them worked so please, anyone, help me if you have a solution to this problem!!!

    When your iPod does not appear in iTunes:

    You might want to reset your iPod to prevent any more skipping and freezing. Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons - at the same time - until the Apple logo shows. This should take about 6 seconds. Also, you want to do this while your iPod is connected to your computer.

  • Can't burn CD - iTunes doesn't recognize CDs

    I used to be able to burn CDs fine with iTunes. For the past month or so, when I try to burn a CD, iTunes doesn't recognize it and asks me repeatedly to insert a new CD. I am now unable to burn any CDs.
    I can play a CD fine and have also tried different CD brands. Dell tells me this is a problem with iTunes but offers no real solution.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks
    Dell   Windows XP  

    Sounds as if you are burning an MP3 CD, correct?
    I right clicked and said to convert to MP3 and it showed it doing it but when I go to Info the song still says it is ACC.
    iTunes will add another copy in MP3 format. You need to add this new MP3 copy to your playlist and delete the AAC file from your playlist.
    can't burn because it is a ACC file
    That would be AAC, not ACC.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s

    iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s.
    Whenever I plug my iPhone into my computer it starts to charge like normal but iTunes does not recognize it. I've tried all of the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple (Downloading the latest iTunes version, reinstalling iTunes, updating the software on my phone, restarting my computer, etc). I've also looked at various tutorials on different websites that showed other methods. Among these methods were going into the control panel Device Manager or the Services program and taking certain steps within said programs. It seems I have tried everything under the sun to get iTunes to recognize my iPhone and so far nothing has worked. I have no idea what to do which is why I've resorted to this. Anybody know what might be going on? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on my computer with the latest iTunes installed as previously stated. I've also just installed iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone and this has not changed anything. If anyone has any idea what is going on and would like to tell me how to fix it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    If you've gone through this article and made sure the Apple Mobile device service is installed and running, you should look at the security software on your computer.
    To make sure it isn't the security software, you can either follow the steps in the article below, or you could just uninstall it and test again. Then reinstall it again when you're done.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize IPod Nano 7th Generation

    ITunes doesn't recognize my IPod Nano 7th Generation. I get a message saying "An IPod has been detected but could not be identified properly". My Windows 7 computer shows the IPod Nano as a removable drive until I launch ITunes at which point it disappears from the list of removable drives. I even disabled my security software (Norton 360 but not Spybot S & D) and it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions..............Thanks

  • Updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music, updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music

    i updated my itunes, and now it won't play any of my music. i tried deleting it and reinstalling itunes, but it still is doing the same thing: whenever i click on a song, it looks like it's going to play (and my last.fm thing starts scrobbling it) but it just doesn't play the song, ever. it sits there, with the play button played. i am so frustrated with itunes, and i have no idea how to resolve this.

  • I can't restore my iphone.  when i plug it in, the phone recognizes that it is plugged into itunes, but itunes doesn't recognize it

    My iphone charges when I plug it into my computer, but itunes doesn't recognize that any device is attached (I have the latest version; a pc, not a mac; it's a Verizon iphone).  Also, the phone's info button (which should tell me the serial number) says "MEID: Unknown".  Apple support won't help me without the serial number...
    Ideally, I would like a button combination to restore the phone to factory settings, so that I can activate it.  Or at least figure out the serial number so I can get tech support.

    Serial # is below the model# on the BOX !!
    looks like you bought a Craked Iphone and Not a NEW one from Apple direct or the carrier.
