ITunes no longer plays any music.

my iTunes that I use at work on Windows no longer plays music. I double click a song and nothing happens. I hit play and nothing happens. Even when I go into the music through iTunes, I double click a demo song and nothing happens.
So I reinstalled iTunes and have the same problem still. So unless anybody has a troubleshoot for this. I'll be looking for another music application to set up my music in.

I'm having a similar problem.
When I click to play some of my purchased songs, it just skips right over it. But, it increases the "Play Count" column value by 1 each time, even though it doesn't play anything.
Of the $50 worth of music that I just bought today, only 2 songs seem to be working. The "Play Count" column is blank for these songs. And I think these are songs that I bought without previewing them first.
Maybe if you buy a song WHILE previewing it, it will cause this bug? /shrug

HT4528 After my last sync my iTunes no longer plays any music not purchased in iTunes. Any suggestions?

I did the latest update and synched my iPhone 5C, after the sync all music that was not purchased through iTunes will not play on my phone. I figured out how to "homeshare" those songs but they aren't really on my phone so once wifi is off I no longer have them. Any suggestions? Most of these song were off of cds. I don't want to purchase them all again through iTunes what a waste of money. I'm feeling super annoyed.
Thanks for any help!

Hi there dryval76!
There are a couple of reasons for seeing an issue such as that. I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot and find out the source of the issue. The first is an article about troubleshooting issues with playing songs in iTunes, and it can be found here:
iTunes 11 for Mac: If you have trouble playing music or other audio

If the issue is happening in all areas of your computer, not just iTunes, then you will want to reference this article:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

After 10.5 update itunes no longer plays any of my movies or tv shows

After I upgraded to 10.5 itunes will not play any of my movies or tv shows, it still plays my music videos though. All I get when I press play on the items is a black screen and nothing more. The files still work when opened with quicktime though, I'm pretty confused by this issue and am in real need of help Is there any way I can fix it or downgrade my itunes to the previous update?

Let's try the following user tip with that one:

ITunes will no longer play any music.

iTunes will open just fine, but when I click play on a song it won't play. The tracking icon won't move at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and the problem still stands. It started when I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. Also, it does the same thing with CDs. iTunes won't play ANYTHING... HELP!

Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes.

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 does not play any music

When upgrading to iTunes version 5.0.1, i encountered the same problem as everyone else with the mapi32.dll. I used the fixmapi.exe program and then copied the mapi32.dll file to the iTunes folder. After this, my iTunes would start up, but when i click on files, it wont play.
after installing iTunes, my Musicmatch Jukebox wont start up either.
im not sure what the problem is, can anyone help?

thanks you for trying to help haha...i actually just registered because this problem is really bugging me...
alot of users seem to be getting sound problems that are not related to the iTunes GUI at all. if sound was the problem, the the progress timer for each song would at least move...even if there was no audio coming from the speakers...if the progress bar doesn move, the only reasonable explaination is a problem in the program or shell or GUI itself? if thats the case, i think many of us can say goodbye to iTunes for a while..until they repack the program without this nasty little bug.
thanks anyways.

ITunes no longer plays any sound

So basically, I logged on yesterday to find iTunes making no sound. I thought it'd just be fixed by resetting the computer, unfortunately, it hasn't.
So today I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. This also has not fixed the problem! I've also run a virus scan incase it's a virus causing this but AVG has not detected a virus!
I'm running 5.1 speakers on a custom built PC using Windows 7 32bit. Windows's volume is set to 100% as is my speakers but no sound is coming out
Halp!

I struggled with this for 2 hours. Stumbled across the following solution (Windows Vista): With iTunes open, double click the volume icon in the system tray. Click on MIXER. Make sure the volume is turned all the way up for itunes.

I am using a PC with Windows Vista. I've been using iTunes on this computer for over 6 years. Suddenly I can not play any music on iTunes. I tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes however it did not fix the issue. Can anyone please help?

Suddenly, as of two weeks ago, iTunes will no longer play any music. I tried reinstalling but this did not work either. I have a PC with Windows Vista. Has anyone else experienced this problem and fixed it?

Yes, I just tried playing a 10-second mp3 file I acquired from The Oatmeal and didn't once pass my external hard disk. It's a simple, monotone, high-frequency sound, but I get the same results: VLC's UI is still responsive, but its functionality freezes up, i.e. the buttons are still animated, and the menu still works, but there's no sound, the progress bar doesn't move, and the file doesn't play.

ITunes won't sync any music that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iPhones 5S

I have updated to Mavericks on my macbook, and iTunes will no longer sync my iPhone 5S properly. It does not remove any music that has been deleted. My phone will no longer play any music that was not purchased from iTunes. I tried to delete all my music and download it again, but iTunes would not remove it from the phone. Is anyone having a similar problem? Any ideas to get things back to normal? I am restoring from back up as I type, but I doubt it will solve my problem.

I had the exact same problem since upgrading to Mavericks. When I tried to copy the music from iTunes, either wifi or wired, it appeared in 'On this phone' greyed out. Forcing a sync didn't help. I noticed too that iTunes showed odd values for the amount of space available on the phone - around 9GB compared to 27GB on the phone itself.
I solved the problem by turning off iTunes Match, turning it back on again, then reconnecting my iPhone.

ITunes will not play songs, music anything

I've got Mountain Lion and iTunes 10.7 and it will (no longer) play any music. The diamond does not may/progress and nothing happens.
I already re-installed iTunes, rebooted several times. Also no previews from the iTunes store play.
No error messages are shown.
Can anyone help?

I had the same issue. If it is due to some other application locking the audio driver, you could change that in
control panel > sound > playback > speakers and headphones > properties > Advanced > Exclusive mode >
Uncheck Allow applications to take exclusive control

Itunes will not play my music nor videos

I recently updated to itunes about a week ago..and for some odd reason my itunes will not play any music that is located in the itunes music library.. I un-installed it, then re-installed it..and it still did not play the music.. I believe it has affected my windows media player on my computer as well. I was wondering if anyone had any information or a solution to my problem??
thanks

You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?

ITunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."

You get this message because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
Do any of these aply to you?
