ITunes music won't play with burned QT movie on CD

I made a slide show movie on my Powerbook using Quicktime Pro and purchased a song (purchased just for this use) on the iTunes store to add to the movie. Then burned the QT movie to a CD and gave it to friends to commemorate a party that they gave. But the music wouldn't play. A window came up on their PC computer asking them to go to the iTunes store for verification or something like that.
Then I made another movie on my Powerbook using Quicktime Pro and added music to that one that was already on my computer. It wasn't music that I'd bought on iTunes. It was music I had imported to iTunes from a CD that I had purchased. I burned that movie and music to a CD and then tried to play it on a 20" iMac. The music wouldn't play. I didn't have that music installed on that computer but I wouldn't have thought that would be necessary. It should have been burned to the CD.
This is puzzling. I have done this same procedure in the past. I may have done an upgrade to the OS since making movies previously. What changed? How can I get music to play with movies on CDs that are played on other computers than my Powerbook?

Hi!
The sizes and everything of your music files are normal right? Between 2 and 10 MB or so?
Edit: Copying one of the songs from your laptop back to your desktop works fine on the desktop? That would rule out the following...
This is getting a little bit desperate, but it might help us figure out what the heck is going on with your songs!
Can you install Notepad++ and try to open a malfunctioning song file in it?
Maximize the window and maybe hold Ctrl and scroll down once or twice to bring the font size down. Then take a screenshot of what you see in Notepad++'s window and share that here.

My iTunes music won't syn with my iTouch

I was trying to add music to my iTunes using sync but it seems that the music I'm trying to add does not upload in my iTouch. I can find it in the "On this iPod" but it is inactive...what should I do? This is the first time I've added new music in my iTouch after I upgraded to OS 5.1...Do I need to revert back to my old OS version since my iTouch is a little bit old?...Thanks.

You can't downgrade the iOS and that has nothing to do with your problem
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

ITunes music won't play on a new computer

Just installed iTunes on my new computer (Win 7 premium 64bit) and while all the music i purchased through the iTunes store shows up none of it will actually play. Any suggestions?

Thanks -- actually I worded the question wrong. I was trying to find my songs icon and kept reloading Itunes to try to find it. All I could get was the store. I finally figured out how to reset the desktop and I got my icon back. Thanks for your answer.

My music won't play on iTunes

When I try to play a song on iTunes, it won't play. Tt says it's playing but it never plays on past the 0:00 mark. It even does this for music I have recently bought on iTunes and my music works fine on my iPhone but not on iTunes. I haven't had this issue until recently when I updated iTunes. I have never had this issue before.

Here are a few quick tricks that I would try:
- Restart your mac
- Go to System Preferrences and check your audio settings
- If you have a portable, check your headphone jack for obstructions or anything strange
- Test the audio with some headphones, if those work you may only have a settings issue
Good luck

Itunes progress bar is not moving and music won't play. I also have no audio from my laptop at all. Any ideas? I am running windows 8.

Have had no previous problems with iTunes but for past two weeks my I tunes progress bar is not moving and music won't play.
I also have no audio from my laptop at all. Any ideas? I am running windows 8.

I'm having the same incredibly frustrating problem. I have 50-60 GBs of music and now literally ALL OF A SUDDEN most of my mp3s won't play in iTunes. Of the songs that do play, many of them sound garbled (almost as if you were listening to them underwater). As others have noted, the songs do in fact play properly in other media players (VLC, MPC, WMP, etc).
I feel like I've tried just about everything but I can't seem to fix the problem. Nor have I been able to find any viable solutions after hours of scouring the internet. Here is a list of the steps I've taken so far, in chronological order:
1. Closed/re-opened iTunes
2. Re-booted computer
3. Uninstalled/re-installed iTunes
4. Tried deleting songs from iTunes library and then re-adding them, but after dropping files into the library they don't show up at all, iTunes refuses to import them
5. Downgraded from iTunes 8 to iTunes 7
None of these things have helped at all and I am amazed that even after completely uninstalling iTunes 8 and then installing version 7 I'm still experiencing the same problem. And, on top of things, I've found that iTunes 7 is not recognizing the ID3 tags for many of the songs it does import.
My apologies for the length of this post. I just want to be specific and provide as much info as I can so that maybe we can find a solution to this thing.
So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

Hi,
Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

HT1386 Some of my music won't play on my iPhone

Shortly after upgrading to the latest OS (7.0.2), I've noticed some of my music won't play on my iPhone. I can see the songs but they have a red circle with a square inside it next to them and I can't do anything with them. I have plenty of space and there's not "downloading from the iCloud" option.
Problem 2...some other people are having this problem and recommend wiping the music off my phone and re-syncing via iTunes but when I plug my phone in (or sync via wi-fi, either one) to sync, it hangs up on "waiting for changes to apply" and never wipes the music. I've looked around at other complaints about this issue and none of the recommended "fixes" work.
I assume this is going to require an OS patch of some sort. What's the ETA on this and is there a way to get around it now?

I have this problem too but all the songs that wont play arent downloaded from the itunes store theyre from another site

A while ago I wanted to download/buy an album on my iPhone 4 but I didnt have enough space so I deleted some stuff and downloaded the album. well ever since then my other music won't play, only that one album will play and none of my other music will play

a while ago I wanted to buy an album but I didn't have enough space on my phone, (iPhone 4) so I deleted some things off my phone and downloaded the album. well ever since then all my other music won't play, only that one album will play. I thought it was because I havent been able to get the software update on my phone but I don't have enough space for that either. I deleted almost all my photos, all my apps, i deleted almost all the info that is on the apps that you can't delete, but it says I have too much music and I only have 45 songs!!!!!!!! and I don't want to delete them because that's what I'm trying to listen to but I can't because of whatever reason. PLEASE HELP!!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

I reauthorized my computer but my music won't play.

I didn't realize the prior computer--long since traded in towards a new one, the laptop I'm currently using--hadn't been deauthorized. I did that and then reauthorized current one but my music won't play. I checked my account and it has been updated and confirms the new laptop is authorized now. What gives?

This should help you with any questions that you have.

Most of my music won't play, and the songs have exclamation points.

I upgraded my itunes, and now most of the music won't play, and they have exclamation points next to them. When I click on a song, it says "original file cannot be found" I clicked on locate, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Any suggestions?

Hello, I too had this same problem. I was very lazy about going through EACH song trying to select & fish for it in a folder (I have a lot of folders total of 1,979 songs). I called Apple & they told me to go to my iTunes go to FILE scroll down then ADD FOLDER.. Since everything was just out of place & didn't know where to even begin I basically deleted ALL songs from my LIBRARY & then added each folder. It literally took me less than 20 minutes. Dont worry if you have your songs labeled a certain way (Artist, name of song, genre in iTunes) everything will go back to normal. Hope this helps as it helped me! I put it aside for 2-3 years! Good luck!

Mp4 file is bugged? Won't add to iTunes and won't play.

I just downloaded the Lord of the Rings extended trilogy on bluray with a redemption code I got in the box set I got for christmas. They worked fine, until, while changing the album name of the three movies, the return of the king, while trying to change the album artwork, iTunes went into Not Responding mode, and I force quit it. When I came back, I couldn't play the movie, change it's artwork or anything, so I deleted it from my library and tried to reload it back in with the file in my iTunes folder. But not only would the movie not add to iTunes, it won't play in Quicktime or VLC, and when I tried running it through Handbrake it wouldn't work. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you fix this? Thanks.

TS3274 music won't play, play button on music not running

music won't play, play button on music not running, closed all programs and restatred twice, still won't play

Here is the list of supported codac formats supported by Android and like I thought, WMA isnt listed as a supported format unless a 3rd party app was installed that WMA worked with but the native OS does not have support for the file you are tring to play...
Check out formats at http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
Update: Looks like I missed something because I found a post that reports they will work but Android site says they wont so I guess its one of those situations if they work that fine but if they dont, dont be suprised. All I can say is it would be simple enough to convert the files to MP3 and remove this restriction.

Music won't play and shuts down. Helppppp

Randomly my ipod music won't play music. When the song is clicked on it goes to the song and album artwork but then doesn't play and flashes back to the playlist screen. Also, it shuts down a lot and I have to restart it to turn it back on. This seems to happen whenever I am using it and set it down instead of just bringing the black screen up where I can press the button and start it I have to restart it which is slow. Help please!!!!

Try the following in order:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on yur computer
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
