Itunes is not playing (or freezing) when I turn on my Bluetooth speaker (Bose Soundlink Mini)

itunes is not playing (or freezing) when I turn on my Bluetooth speaker (Bose Soundlink Mini)
Every time I turn on the speaker, itunes freezes up and never star playing the only way it might work is restarting the computer. I own a macbook pro retina display 15" late 2013, i've run it for malware,  viruses, verified the disk and everything seems normal, so i'm guessing the problem is with itunes.
I need some help with this issue.
Thanks
Hector

Works if I turn off the Mac bluetooth (top of the screen - click on the Bluetooth icon to turn off / on) and then turn it back on.  After that I can connect and play.

    Getting really frustrated as i am a complete novice on this type of thing, any help would be appreciated. i have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled no joy

    Dave, you are a god among mere mortal men!
    I had used the check to only load certain tracks on my iPod mini that my kids use, while loading everything on my iPod 60GB.
    I guess I should come up with a different method for that.
    Thank you for clueing me in on how the checkmark works.
    I'm a happy man once again.

    Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, the movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Does it with all movies in the library, Most where downloaded from Itunes. Any ideas on a cure?

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

    Hi eversonjm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea.  See this article for instructions:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

  • Purchased songs from Itunes STILL not playing on ipod mini

    I read all the posts about this issue, of purchased Itunes songs not playing on ipod. I deauthorized the computer and all computers associated with the account. then re authorized them. I reset the ipod several times, and also restored the ipod. I reinstalled the itunes software. I changed the sync to manual. removed one of the purchased songs. reauthorized the computer, then manually added the song back. I renamed the song. I even tried with downloading the free song. Any other suggestions. It made me look bad when after all of this I still could not fix the users issue. Other than declaring it a HARDWARE issue, I thought there could be a registry setting with the authorizing that did not happen properly. Has anyone else experienced this issue , and NOT been able to fix it. It would really appreciate any advice. My only conclusion was hardware, and the user states they had already spoke with apple who declined to help.

    It may be an authorization issue. Both iTunes and the iPod need to be up-to-date.
    Usually, you need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS within iTunes to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
    How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
    iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
    If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
    Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.4), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
    If the above 'standard' fixes did not help, then it's a bigger problem that I can diagnose...

    Itunes will not play a number of songs in my library as they were purchased a long while ago using an email address and ISP that I no longer use. When I try and play them I get the message "this computer is not authorised to play this song, authorise your computer now".  Any ideas?

  • Hi..can anyone help? Songs on my itunes are not playing to the end? They cut off part way through a song. Its not on all the songs but lots of them? thanks

    Hi..can anyone help? Songs on my itunes are not playing to the end? They cut off part way through a song. Its not on all the songs but lots of them? thanks

    A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
    I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and  loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

  • Itunes is not playing any music on windows 8.1

    I have updates my windows to 8.1 and now itunes does not play anything.
    Itunes opens fine, but when i click a song to play nothing happens. The time does not elapse and no music is played.
    PLease help, i have tried updating itunes, but iit says i am up to date

    I am having the same issues; the playback is spotty in that sometimes it goes, but the majority of the time (as in 95 percent of the time) it is having problems. However, it is playing movies without any difficulty--only the music is giving me trouble.

  • Itunes will not play if Chrome is running

    I recently installed iTunes 12.1 on a Toshiba Satellite running win 8.1. Problem is that when Goggle Chrome is running iTunes will not play. My library is there and the progress bar shows at the top of the screen but it stays at 0:00. If I close Goggle Chrome, and restart iTunes it works fine.  Chrome is the 64 bit version up to the latest revision. This is a brand new install so all software is current and patched. Any Ideas Why?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

    I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. 
    There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • 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.

  • ITunes will not play songs

    iTunes will not play any songs from my library. When I click on the song to play the title appears in the box as if it is going to play but the the bar does not move and then the title disappears and a bunch of lines appear.
    When I play a video, movie or TV program the video plays fine, but no audio comes out.
    Audio and video work fine in any other application and all the system sounds work fine. I can also play audio and video fine using Windows Media Player.
    I have shut-down and restarted several times and even let the computer stay shut-down overnight, but to no avail. I have upgraded to the newest version of iTunes and QuickTime. I have also made sure I have the most current version of all audio and video drivers for my laptop. I have also update Vista to Service Pack 1. I also noticed that MS Silverlight also loaded, so not sure if this could be causing my problems.
    Any help that anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Finally was able to fix the problem. Here is what I had to do:
    1. Uninstall MS Silverlight
    2. Install all new Audio and Video drivers (even though they were already the newest versions I had to re-install them).
    3. Installed newest MS Windows Vista upgrade.
    4. Restarted computer
    5. Made sure all my audio settings were set to use the proper speakers.
    Now everything is working fine.

    Can't. This is done for the individual movie, not by iTunes.
    Some have it, most don't.
