ITunes Wifi Could Not Play Preview

Hi all
My iPhone is exhibiting some odd behavior. The iPhone's Safari, Google Maps, applications, etc. work great on my home wifi network. However, I am experiencing two problems with iTunes and Youtube apps. First, in the iTunes Wifi store, for example, I can browse songs and even purchase/download them. However, I am not able to play a preview. Each time I tap a song to hear the preview, I get the error message "Could Not Play Preview." Second, in the YouTube application, I can browse videos, but as soon as I select one to view, I get the error message, "This movie could not be played." This problem happens consistently on my home WiFi network. Oddly, both features work fine on EDGE or on a different WiFi network.
Therefore, I have narrowed the issue down to my wireless router, but the router works great! I have never had any problems with it until these isolated iTunes WiFi store and Youtube problems. So, you're probably saying to yourself, well, you should really be on a Linksys forum right now. But, because these are isolated issues on the iPhone, I thought this would be the best place to try first.
Has anyone seen this problem before? Does anyone have a solution? Is there a port or something I need to open on the router or on the iPhone? I would appreciate any help. Below are my phone and wireless router stats.
iPhone (1st generation)
Latest firmware (2.0.2)
No 3rd party alterations
Linksys BEFW11S4 V2.0 wireless router
Latest firmware (that I can tell)
Broadcasting with MAC Address filter
Thanks!

Hi again, I'm still seeing the problem consistently. Does anyone have any suggestions? Linksys did not have any solutions for me, either.

  • "Could not play preview" on 3GS (OS 4) for any Itunes store track

    1. This has only occurred since my OS 4 upgrade
    2. I have full wifi net access (and can connect to the store OK)
    Basically every time I try to preview a song I get the message "Could not play preview" very annoying!

  • The iTunes application could not be opened.  [-42404]

    When I try to open iTunes I get the following error
    The iTunes application could not be opened. A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall QuickTime. [-42404]
    I have tried repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling both iTunes & QuickTime. But, nothing has worked so far.
    Any ideas?

    I just started having this problem while trying to get my wife's iPad set up with our MacBook Pro. The difficult part is that it's preventing both iTunes on the MacBook and iTunes on the iPad from being authorized on the same store account. I have tried re-installing iTunes 9.1 several times, but unlike what I've heard from others, this has not resolved the problem.

  • I am getting the following error during the play of a rented movie from my MacBook that i am trying to watch on AppleTV Could not play the rental "A Thousand Words" because it is authorized to play on another computer or device." any ideas?

    Rentals can only play on one device/computer at a time.  Have you tried to play on the computer and still have that window open?
    Have you transferred the rental to iPod/iPhone or iPad to watch?
    If it won't play anywhere contact iTunes support at:

  • ITunes application could not be opened. error 13008

    I've got a 500GB USB3 drive that has an iTunes library on it and that's all it has on it.
    I've attached the drive to a Negear R6300 router that has a USB port for attaching a network drive.
    ReadyShare sees it and I can mount it as a Volume that shows up in the finder.
    I can open the library directory in the finder and play songs manually..
    But when I option-launch iTunes, and am asked to locate the library I wish to open, I navigate to the shared volume and select the directory containing the library. I then get the following error and when I click OK, iTunes quits.
    "The iTunes application could not be opened, An unknown error occurred (13008)
    I'm lost at this point.

    I finally found a solution for this.
    The external drive was formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    I reformatted the drive as FAT32 and now I am able to access my iTunes library without any isseus from the Netgear R63000 ReadyShare volume.
    Yay!

  • ITunes application could not be opened. required folder cannont be found

    Hello,
    I'm getting an error message that says "*The iTunes application could not be opened. The required folder cannot be found*".
    I running the latest version of iTunes on a Windows Vista PC. I have three user profiles on this PC. iTunes works perfectly on two of the profiles, but on one profile (the admin profile) I get the above error message. Until recently, iTunes was working properly on all three profiles. I can't say what has changed recently, this is my daughters PC. Any guidance would be of great help. Thank you,
    Chris

    Hi and thank you for your response. I did upgrade iTunes to the latest version hoping that would solve the issue, but it did not. When I open iTunes in the Admin profile and I get the error message my only option is to click "OK" which then closes the application (iTunes). When I log into the other profiles on the computer, all the music plays just fine and iTunes seems to be working fine.

  • HT203167 What happens when you pay for a  movie rental on iTunes that does not play for more than a few seconds?

    I rented a movie but it only played for a couple of seconds and then it stopped and kicked me back to the iTunes rental page again. This is after I rented the movie earlier in the day on my iPad and discovered I could not play it back through my Apple TV. What do I do now? Do I keep trying to rent it again and again, each time incurring a new rental fee?

    Use the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • Itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

    I'm on Windows 7 - using itunes daily without problems and suddenly itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"  The only thing I can think is I think there was a download in progress when I shut down the computer.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalled, but I get the same thing. I tried clearing the itunes folder and reinstalling, same thing. help!

    Doublechecking. When you did the complete uninstall, were you using the following document as a guide?
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (If damaged program files are involved here, a standard install might not remove them, and a reinstall might not then replace them. So the Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled section is an important step.)

  • The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)

    Today, I downloaded the latest version of Itunes.
    When it finished installing it came up with the following error:
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)". I have uninstalled iTunes, and all related Apple software and re-installed iTunes several times and still I get the same error.
    I contacted Apple support and was sent two emails. One detailing what needed to be uninstalled and then a web site to go to where I could download and install Microsoft's latest .NET Framework, which apparently was the root cause of the problem.
    I did as instructed:Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    1.iTunes
    2.QuickTime
    3.Apple Software Update
    4.Apple Mobile Device Support
    5.Bonjour
    6.Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later).
    Restarted the PC and then downloaded the latest version of Microsoft's .NET Framework - version 4.
    Restarted the PC again and received a strange message from some Apple application I have never heard of stating "CoreFoundation.dll file is missing".
    I GOOGLEd the message and found out I also needed to unistall another Apple application called MobileMe. So, I did this and restarted the PC again!
    I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes, again.
    Now I'm getting "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    From checking through GOOGLE, I believe it's something to do with user accounts and iTunes not being able to find the music folder???? But the answers I found all relate to Windows 64 pit PC's.
    I am running Windows 7, 32 bit on a Sony Vaio laptop.
    I cannot get support from Apple as I don't own a MAC. But I do own an iPhone but it's out of warranty.
    HELP !!!!
    Can anybody please help me?
    Thx

    If you go to the web page "http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923" and follow the "Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled" it does the trick. There are few other folders and files that alos need to be deleted!
    iTunes is now working.

  • How do i resolve my itunes from saying " The itunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."

    Everytime i click to go to my itunes, the message "The Itunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." pops up. I have tried my best to fix it by adding another account to my computer and setting that one as the administator and mine as the regular user. When i did that the itunes worked on both, but when i changed my account back to administator and the other account to the regular user my account didnt work but the other one did. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes. This message popped up when i tried to update the itunes to the newest one. And still it wont go away. Can someone help me please. Thanks!

  • "iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memory availab

    I just upgraded to the new 7.3 version of iTunes, and now it wont even let me open iTunes. I get an error box that says "iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memeory available." However, I have way more than enough memory available, and I've had no problems with any other applications. Quicktime is working just fine as well. I've tried restarting and opening iTunes from every location I could think of. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

    It's a unified GUI program http://gui.interacto.net/ and some people (including me) have had this error message when using it with iTunes 7 Their latest version 1.3.1 seems to overcome this, but if you are not using it ........!

  • ITunes application could not be opened.  An unknown error occurred (0x666D7

    Been using iTunes 6 and 6.5 for months and months on my computer. Upgraded to 7.0. Installs just fine. No errors, no issues.
    At the end, it asks if it can launch iTunes 7.0 and I click okay. I get this:
    The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (0x666D743F).
    Apple, HELP!!!! I can't use iTunes at all!!!! I'd be willing to reinstall 6 or 6.5 if I could find it somewhere.
    Can someone please help?

    This happened to me as well. I uninstalled iTunes 7 and tried again: nothing. I uninstalled iTunes 7 and Quicktime and tried again: nothing. I uninstalled everything and ran a third-party program called CCleaner to find registry entries that were not removed by the uninstallation and then reinstalled: nothing. Did all that and add a reboot after CCleaner before reinstalling: nothing. Downgraded back to iTunes 6.0.5 and it worked fine. Re-upgraded to iTunes 7, failure.
    For those who may need it, you can download iTunes 6.0.5 from apple.com here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
