ITunes forgets sound in Airplay

When I play music via Airplay (Airport Express) on iTunes the speakers go silent after track changes. iTunes is still playing the album but doesn't transmit any audio. This doesn't happen after every track but still frequently. Even 4 times during an album. The sound comes back when I return to the beginning of the track. I would not like to do that.
Where is the problem and how to fix it?

what do you think the OP means by sound? OP OBVIOUSLY means the SOUND that plays with the video.
after the last update (end of september), i tried to airplay through Quicktime and it sent the sound also! but now im trying ti and its not sending sound (yes, i said SOUND)

How do I keep iTunes from defaulting to Airplay

I have iTunes 11.1.3 on my MacBook Mavericks. I also have AppleTV and I sometime turn on Airplay to watch something I can get on my computer but not through iTunes or any of the subscription services I use. The poblem is that when I forget to disable Airplay on my AppleTV unit, iTunes defaults to wanting to play everything over Airplay. Then I have to go out into the other room and turn everythinh on just so that I can turn Airplay off. Is there a way to invert iTunes default behavior so that if Airplay is active on AppleTV, I still have to explicitly tell iTunes to use it rather that diplaying on my computer screen?
Thanks,
Rob

How do I make iTunes forget my iPhone?

I set up my iPhone 5 as a new device (not restored from my old iPhone 4 backup) but when I initially connected it to iTunes, I neglected to un-check the box that said something like "Automatically sync apps to this device."
This resulted in iTunes trying to sync all 2000 apps in my library to my new phone. I don't seem to be able to uncheck them on masse, just one by one…2000 times in a row...
So, my current strategy is to somehow make iTunes forget that it already knows this iPhone, and then I can make the correct choice on the initial setup screen. (I unchecked that box with my wife's new iPhone and it worked well.)
But how do I do make iTunes forget my phone?
I've deleted its backup from ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
I've removed it's listing from Preferences->Device Preferences
…but iTunes still recognizes the device when I connect. I want it to say, "Hey, an iPhone I've never seen before, what do you want me to do with it?"
Does anybody know how to do this?

ITunes forgets my CD files...how do I rebuild tune database? - Revisited

Hi:
I tried follwoing your advice.
I can do the Ctrl-A to select all songs in the iTunes libary.
I can right-click and select Delete,
but when I do, I do not get the 3 options that you mentioned
(Cancel, Keep Files, and Move To Recycle Bin)
I get a dialog box stating:
Are you sure you want to remove the selcted songs from your iTunes library?
These songs will also be remove from any iPod or iPhone which synchronizes with your iTunes library.
Why am I not getting the options you stated above ?
I have seen you oprions on a Mac at best Buy, but I am running an HP laptop under Vista Home Premium.
Then has a Remove or Cancel button to be clicked.
If I follow through with the above, will it wipe out my music library ?
How do I go about rebuilding the databse ?
Thank you

Sorry DaleB, I have redone my library so many times, I forgot about this prompt. Just click 'yes'/'remove' to that question.
Reloading the library will only make your iPod resync again, thats all.

Hi:
A related issue.
I made a copy (backup ?) of the Music folder in Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit OS, to my Desktop. If something corrupts the Music in iTunes, will this be a "good enough" backup to be able to restore the music by moving it back into the Music folder, or will soemthing be missing ?
Thanx !

Hi:
I did not move them arounsd outsice of iTunes.
I copied & pasetd them in iTunes, but in some cases, they became subfolders.
e.g., I may have a main folder in iTunes called "Rolling Stones", and subfolder iteled after their Greatest Hits album "Hot Rocks". Initially,
Hot Rocks was a folder at the same level as Rolling Stones. Thenm I create a subfolder within Rollng Stones and then copied and pasted all of the MP3 files from the main folder (Hot Rocks) into the subfolder (Hot Rocks), and then deleted the main folder (Hot Rocks). But, iTunes now tells me it can find the songs. The Apple guy at best Buy showed me how to delete the current database without deleting the actual tunes, and then rebuild the database, all in a few mouse clicks. But, this was on a Mac...I do not know if iTunes for Windows has the same menu features as the Mac version. I just forgot the steps that he went through.

I cannot activate a ringtone which I prepared with Iringer. It appears in iTunes under sounds but doesn't appear in sounds on the iPhone!!!

I cannot activate a ringtone which I prepared with Iringer. It appears in iTunes under sounds but doesn't appear in sounds on the iPhone!!!

if you created a ringtone, it should appear in the tone menu in itunes.
Is the ringtone 30 seconds or less?
Also I would check the iringer support site to resolve your issue.

When I export my song from Garageband off of my iPad to iTunes the sound quality is wrong, how do i fix this!?

Hey, I've read plenty of posts on how to fix this, but it's all for the Mac, and what they say is too turn off the auto-normalize, but there is no option for it on the ipad and I don't have a Mac...
I have exported it on all sound qualities, I have adjusted the low and high notes so they arent all that over powering, but it all keeps sounding the same
I would really love if I could have some help on this as I've spent months working on this piece of music and I really would love to have it on my mp3...
So some help would be greatly appreciated

I've just found out, that it sounds fine on my iphone when played through headphones, speakers or even stereo, its just when i play it on itunes, it sounds funny like when it hits lows it goes quiet as if it cant handle them...

ITunes forgets song locations.

I have an iBook with a terabyte Western Digital MyBook external hard drive attached via USB.
Frequently, nearly every time I run it, iTunes fails to find a random selection of songs. Usually around twenty or so out of 22,000. The songs show up in my library with a little exclamation mark. Trying to play the song throws an error, claiming that the song file cannot be found, and if I want to locate it. When I do, the song file is exactly where it is supposed to be, and where it has always been, and iTunes will happily play it.
But why do I randomly have to help iTunes locate songs, even though the files have not moved? What makes iTunes forget the file location? The affected songs are pretty much a random selection, and are different every time.
Is there any way I can prevent this? Is there an easier way to make iTunes rescan, other than manually clicking each lost song and browsing to the file location?
-Ron.
PS. I noticed this with my previous 500Gb external drive also, so I doubt there is a malfunction in the drive. And it has been happening through several iTunes versions. Just downloaded latest, and it still does it.

This problem seems to shows up more and more frequently on this board. Noone has ever been able to explain it, and there aren't any pat solutions that I've read of.
I'm one of the unlucky ones who has experienced this problem. The one thing that made a significant difference in my case was making sure that I used "Create file names with track number" in iTunes Preferences/Advanced/Importing. Problems were much reduced after that. However, others who have always had that setting turned on have reported problems like yours.
It's also possible to confuse iTunes under the right (or wrong) circumstances by switching among multiple music folders and multiple iTunes Library files. However, I think many people who have reported the problem were just using a single iTunes library.
Is the iTunes Music folder location set to the folder that your songs are in? Just checking, and, in fact, the iTunes Music folder location doesn't have to be set to that location for the library to work properly. But in my experience, when iTunes gets confused, that setting does have an effect on where iTunes starts looking for files that it's missing.
Unfortunately, if the exclamation marks are persistent, I don't know of any shortcuts for reestablishing the connection between iTunes library entry and the song file.

ITunes Forgets that I Am Authorized

Simple: Every time I sync my iPod touch 2G, itunes makes me Reauthorize my computer in order to sync.
Detailed: I have iTunes on my Windows XP Dell computer, Everything works fine. Until i sync my iPod touch. When it tries to sync, it makes me Authorize for Purchases. It takes my username and password, and tells me i am already authorized. Then it begins to sync. If i try to ignore this dialog box that makes me authorize, it threatens to remove purchases from this ipod. It just seems like itunes "Forgets" thats my computer actually is authorized. Ive tried EVERYTHING. (Manually deauthorizing and reauthorizing, Etc.)
If you need more info, please ask.
Thanks in Advance, Sharon

I had the same issue last night. I had reformatted my Hard Drive a week prior to this, and shortly after purchasing AirMouse from the App store, that was the only app showing up under "applications" in iTunes when I hooked up my iPod Touch. Now when I backed up my library, I simply copied the files manually rather than using iTunes to transfer the files
I had issues moving my music library and making aliases a day before that when Front Row wouldn't recognize any of the music, so my folders were not in the right location. I ended up having two folders of "Mobile Applications"; one with the AirMouse app, the other with all the backed-up orgiinal applications.
I used iTunes to select "Import...", selected the folder of all the iPod Touch apps I had backed up, and it copied them over to the right folder. It also ended up replacing the apps I had on my iPod, but they were the same apps anyway. When I disconnected my iPod, the layout of the apps were the same as I had them before, even the frequently used apps I put on the bottom row of the iPod.

ITunes forgets where my music is

Hi,
New to this forum, hope anybody can help me.
I have my music on a NAS drive. I tell iTunes in Edit | Preferences | Advanced the location of the music folder on that drive. So far so good. But everytime I shut down my laptop, or update iTunes, or whatever, iTunes 'forgets' it and stubbornly resets the location to My Documents | My Music etc. How can I make this stick? It's pretty frustrating to again have to organise the library after every restart or when I come back home and log on to my home network. This was supposed to be fun, right??
Jan Didden

I will have to check it. Normally when I get back with the laptop and start it up, it gets into the network and the NAS should be there, way before I open iTunes, so that appears to rule it out as a cause. Unless there is a little iTunes 'helper' applet that hooks itself in as soon as I start up the laptop.
The other thing is that the library is maintained in My Documents|My Music|iTunes blabla.xml or something like that. Maybe I need to migrate that stuff to the NAS drive as well? Not sure about the significance of this.

Itunes forgets position

This started a week ago. Itunes forgets the position all the time. I listen to a lot of long MP3s and pretty much every time I pause an MP3, when i unpause it, it is like 20 minutes earlier than it was when I paused it. I have installed the newest version and rebooted and it is still happening. Anyone else seeing this?

Here's a wrinkle: I still have iTunes 9 (9.2 or whatever the latest version is), not iTunes 10, and I had a similar problem today. Could this be related?
Having listened to a bunch of podcasts on my iPhone, I synced with my iBook, which put those same podcasts back on to my iPhone, showing as either unplayed or partially-played, depending on their status the LAST time I synced, which was probably 3 or more days ago. No new podcasts were added.
All the posts on here seem to be from the last week, so I wonder if this problem has to do not with iTunes 10, but with the iOS firmware. I know there was a recent firmware update that I installed on my iPhone 3G.
Well I've not got any iOS devices, just an 80GB iPod classic and second gen-shuffle. Yet this issue arose for me after updating to iTunes 10 shrug
