ITunes will not play downloaded videos

The music videos I have downloaded from the iTunes store will not play anymore. What happens is, when I click on the fire to play or open up iTunes and try to play it iTunes just quits on me. The music i have downloaded from iTunes works it is just the videos. Even when I try to play them with Quicktime, this will also just quits on me too.
Thanks for your time

I just tried to preview a video in the iTunes music store and iTunes just quite on me. So all the videos I bought do not play in iTunes nor Quicktime. And I can not preview video on the store I do not know if this would help, but I have iTunes 6.0.3
Thanks

ITunes 7 not playing downloaded videos?

I had downloaded Quicktime 7.1.3 and iTunes 7, but my downloaded videos were not playing. I was also getting errors that iTunes was waiting to authorize computer and a gray video window screen. I removed the plug-in QuicktimeComponents from HD/Library/Quicktime folder, restarted iTunes, and all videos played.
Hope this helps.

Please install QuickTime.

ITunes will not play music videos through airplay

This is a specific user account issue. If I create a new account I do not have this issue. That being said I really want to solve this for my existing user login.
Music Videos (and tagged as such) play in iTunes fine.
If I select my AppleTV (which is listed as an airplay device). It completely ignores the selection and continues to play on my Mac. I am unable to play Music Videos over airplay.
When playing music I am able to select any airplay device and it works fine.
When playing movies I am able to select any airplay video device and it works fine.
If I change the Music Video tag to Movies it plays fine
If I change it to Home Videos it plays fine.
If I try to launch iTunes in safe mode it fails to play at all because of the lack of Quicktime support.
Obviously it's something in my ~/Library that is messing it up somehow.
The only plugin I have is AudioScrobbler.bundle and removing launching iTunes does not solve it.
I've tried recreating all of my iTunes preference files and that doesn't solve the issue.
It's maddening!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

I have narrowed it down to the ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.(incredibly long hash).
Removing this file causes a new one to be regenerated and that solved nothing.
Removing the ~/Library/iTunes directory and the ByHost preferences file and rebooting did work temporarily.
There was only one plugin (AudioScrobbler.bundle) in the iTunes directory.
I was able to play a music video and select the AppleTV and then broadcast to it. This lasted last then a few hours and now it's back to the way it was before. Select the AppleTV is silently ignored.
Highly frustrating. I have a broke and fixed version of the com.apple.iTunes ByHOST preference file but doing a diff of the two is useless as most of the xml entries are long strings of hash values. No human discernable difference between the working and not working files. At this point I defintely want to file a bug report.

ITunes will not play my videos

I have upgraded to iTunes 11, tried all the Quicktime edits and still get crashes and problems playing any videos unless I am in safe mode.
I cannot see any installed plug ins in the folder so I am baffled and fed up. Anyone have any bright ideas on how to fix this?
Cheers

I have the same issue, however I end up having to go thru a CTL-Alt-DEL and end other programs as well. You would think apple would have figured this out by now. I have decided to not use them for movie purchases as all other movies that I add from my pc to itunes play only theirs do not

After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes will not play video

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 but since i have my iTunes will not play video i previously downloaded from the iTunes store. The video will play in QuickTime without issue though, please help

sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem... make any sense? do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution? i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound. There were several vidoes on the purchase I made and two of the videos will not play the video or sound. I've checked to see if they were waiting for download and nothing is there. Any suggestions.

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.

ITunes will not play songs, only videos

When i restart my black MacBook, iTunes will play everything. But once i put it to sleep and then open it again, iTunes will only play my videos. When i try to play a song, it says its playing but its time stays at 0 seconds.

This has happened to me on and off since version 8. It's very frustrating and usually requires several restarts before any music will play. It just sits at 0:00, videos will play but no audio.
Anyone have a solution?

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.

Download movies on iPad will not play, Download movies on iPad will not play

Downloaded rented movies on ipad2
from iTunes will not play on ipad2

This has been an ongoing problem for me too. With my iPad 2 I buy a tv show or rent a movie and it does not show up in the Video App. This is very frustrating (= very upset Apple customer) You spend money to see something remotely, wait along time to download it, potentially incur or use precious minutes with your limited data plan and in the end can not view it. Additionally, the entire process has some severe usability issues. Why do you have to go to another App to see your movies. When you click purchase you should be first presented a download time bar and then either as it is in the midst of being downloaded be able to start watching it and/or after it has been downloaded you should be provided the movie to view it. Not bumped to the landing page of the iTunes App. how stupid is that. So you are there at the landing page for iTunes. Your first inclination is to try to navigate within iTunes to see it. If it is a,TV show that you rented your first inclination is to go to the TV show section. Then form there you will like deduce that you need to go to Purchases. but when you click Purchases it instead takes you first to Music purchases. Then you might see or realize that there is a,TV show tab in the Purchases section, so you go there and and as opposed to showing you a chronological list of most recent individual purchases is defaults to a list of full seasonal TV show purchases, so then you see the seasonal show and it show an iCloud butont to download then entire season, hmm that would suck to then download the entire season, use all your minutes and then not be able to view any show cause even thoses don't show up in the Apple video App. I mean come on this really terrible, TERRIBLE useability.
So I have gone to the Apple Video App and nothing shows. I have done a search from the Apple search you can access when swiping right from the initial page of App icons. I actually see the TV show name listed from the title name search I do. And indeed it shows an associated Video App icon but when I click it momentarily (split second looks to be loading the video App and then crashes? And takes me back to the first screen of App icons.
So I simply can not watch any show with ITunes.
Netflix on the hand make the entire process a one click experience.

HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

My macbook pro will not play a video without pausing every 11 seconds. PLEASE help me figure out what is wrong. very frustrating

my macbook pro will not play a video without pausing every 11 seconds. PLEASE help me figure out what is wrong. very frustrating. I have already tried restarting

buckmacie,
has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it?

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.

ITunes will not play songs on NAS drive

I have a WD My Cloud NAS drive with all my music. I've been playing the music through iTunes for the last year or so on my Windows 7 Professional PC. I just upgraded to iTunes 12.1.0.71 and now iTunes will not play any of my music. iTunes still sees all the music on my NAS drive but clicking the play button does nothing. Only way I can get anything to play is to import the albums/songs into my playlist in iTunes, something I really don't want to do.

Hi Josh,
I have exactly the same issue. I also have many songs I purchased on iTunes that will not download. It seems random. I have 3 recently purchased albums that only half the tracks on one album will download, most on another, but only 2 on another. It's annoying! I keep tapping download and they just give up saying Cant connect to iTunes'. Even though it is.
Regardless, I have too exactly the symptoms you described, but had them periodically before today. Again, not sure if its related, but have you recently got an Apple TV?
