ITunes will no longer play nor add to the library any mp3 files which I have created by conversion from a wav file.

I am running iTunes 10 on XP Pro and it will no longer play those mp3 files which I have created by conversion from wav files.  I tried to delete some from the library and then re-add them but iTunes will not add them back to the library.
Can anyone help solve this, please?

Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
There are two things to try before you upgrade:

  • 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?

  • Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

    ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
    1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
    2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
    3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
    Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

  • My iTunes will no longer play videos/music videos (bought from the iTunes store) since the last update? (Win7 64bit)

    My iTunes will no longer play videos/music videos (bought from the iTunes store) since the last update? (Win7 64bit)

    Guys I have the same problem.
    Since I installed iTunes 10.5 I can't play any of my music videos downloaded from the iTunes store.
    I can play music ok but no videos. I just click on the videos and nothing happens!!
    Help..... is there a remedy???

  • Suddenly my iTunes will no longer sync video taken on the iPhone. Why?

    Suddenly my iTunes will no longer sync video taken on the iPhone. Why?

    I have this question too.  I made my own video on my iPhone 4S.  I want to put it on my iPad.  I synced it to my iPhoto, and trying now to move it to iPad.  The computer WILL NOT do this.  Why not? I occasionally get messages it's not in a correct format, but for God's sake, I filmed it on the phone, in whatever format Apple uses.  ***?

  • Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

    Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
    If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
    So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?
    iTunes 10.4.1
    OS 10.6.3

    There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
    I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!
    Before updating to 1.2, ask yourself... how bad do you you really want Tetris????

  • Music I bought from iTunes will no longer play or be added to iTunes

    I bought the soundtrack for Journey by Austin Wintory last year on iTunes, but now some of the tracks on his album will no longer play. I tried to re-add the album to iTunes, but only 11/18 tracks have actually been added back. I have tried to add the missing files manually but iTunes will not show them in the library, nor will it allow me to re-download them in "Download Previous Purchases". If anyone has any advice on how to solve this, it'd be a great help. Thanks.

  • Music I have purchased from Itunes will no longer play on my laptop.  When I click on a song to play it, it says the file cannot be found.  Does anybody know what to do?

    Purchased music from I-tunes will no longer play when I hit play.  The message "music file cannot be located" pops up and then takes me to some other file system.  Does anybody know what to do?  I have already tried to make sure that my Itunes player is default and that is not the problem.
    Help!

  • Safari will no longer play apple tutorials on the web

    I've only had my mac for a couple of days and somehow safari will no longer play apple tutorials. If I click on one, it just loads and loads but never plays. Firefox doesn't work either. Somehow this feels quicktime related. My system is brand new. I have a quicktime plugin that has a version 7.6.3. Any help would be appreciated (youtube works fine).
    Richard

    Glad it's working for you. As for the PC to Mac basics... I just tried and it's working. Try again.
    Try here also. Apple Pro Tips There are well over 100 videos there to watch.
    Empty your cache more often!
    And, launch iTunes. Select ITunes Store on the left side of the window then in the Search field top right type in: Apple Quick Tips
    You can not only watch those but download them as well.
    Trashing .plist application files is a great trouble shooting idea! I clean forgot.

  • Itunes will no longer play some of my songs

    Any info will be appreciated. I no longer can play my converted songs in itunes after last update. Everything was working fine until the update. itunes will ask where there located but after i show where there at. it still won't play them. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!! I about to throw itunes and my ipod out the window.

    Sorry, it won't work. Won't even open the file.
    It shows me where it is, but when I click on the file, it only gives me the "open"/"cancel" options. If I click on "open" it takes me back to my iTunes library but without the selection. Shows me the song but gives me that exclamation point and says it can't be played.

  • Itunes will no longer play most songs...How do I fix?

    For the past two months or so itunes has increasingly been able to play less of my songs in any of my playlists. Essentially, I will click on the song, and nothing will happen. There does not seem to be any reason for it either. Some are downloaded songs, and some are from my CD's. It simply does nothing when I click on them to play. I cannot play the songs with any other media player either. It tells me that the songs are unrecognizable. The songs no longer play on the ipod touch either. How can this be fixed?

    Now this is really weird. I believe all of the .mp3 files play without issue. Most of the .m4p files do not play, but some will play on itunes, but some are playing on my ipod touch. None of the .m4a files play on anything. itunes will do nothing but not play the song. If I use a different media player on one of the songs not working, it will deliver an error message saying the file is unrecognizable. One thing is for sure, all of my songs worked fine a few months ago. Now, the probelm is progressively getting worse by the day.

  • Videos will no longer play and add-ons and plug-ins say up to date?

    My computer no longer plays videos-- whether on facebook or youtube... facebook videos get a tiny square but never open to play-- youtube screen where video should be is blank... all add-ons and plug-ins say up to date. I have comcast internet. Thank you

    Please try two things, please clear the storage for the flash plug in by right clicking where the video should be and clicking "Global settings" and navigate to storage. Clear the stored data and restart Firefox.
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

  • 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 will no longer play one album.

    I have an album, which I was previously able to listen to through itunes is no longer working. I tried reloading the album, but the problem still persists. I can listen tot he album through my ipod, as well as Windows Media Player.
    When I try clicking on any of the songs in Itunes the song just does nothing. I tunes can still see the file, it just doesn't respond to the double-click or the play button.
    Anyway to fix this? I was also thinking that could this be an Apple response to acquiring some songs through other means other than the itunes store?

    But all of a sudden I cannot get my libraray or any playlist ti play more than one song at a time automatically. It just stops after each song.
    head into your itunes main library window. are all the little boxes to the left of your tracks unchecked?
    is so, hold down Ctrl and click on one of those boxes to recheck all the songs. (this may take a little time.)
    do you get continuous play once all the songs are rechecked?
