  • 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, 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 all music files in music folder

    My iTunes music folder is on an external HD. I have 4662 songs in the folder. iTunes plays approx. half of the files though the all of the songs show up in the iTunes player window. When I try to play a "lost" file, nothing happens, no "!" nor window telling me it can't find the file. When I go to the file and click on the song, iTunes adds another copy to the iTunes player window and plays the song. Recently, I clicked on all 2000 songs to get them to play and deleted the copies that didn't. The songs that won't play won't download to my pod. When I finished clicking on files and deleting copies, I updated my pod.
    When I shut down the computer, it lost all the changes and it is back where I started! I connected my pod and it deleted all the songs that iTunes won't play. Any suggestions?

    WiseBird,
    There might be several causes for that kind of erratic behaviour:
    1st use Disk Utility to check your internal disk as well as the external one.
    2nd Your Library database might be damaged
    - Quit iTunes
    - Goto ./Users/YourUserName/Music/iTunes
    There will 2 files named something "Library" - move them to your desktop
    - Launch iTunes
    As you're now starting from scratch, iTunes will offer to search for audio tracks - Don't let it.
    - Your iTunes should be "clean"
    - in iTunes Preferences - Advanced - General:
    Point the Music Folder Location to the appropriate folder on your ext hd
    Disable "Copy Files to iTunes music folder....."
    - Quit Preferences
    - From iTunes Menu - File choose "Add to library..." + select that folder on your ext hd that contains all your tracks.
    - All your tracks should be back by now in iTunes Library.
    - To get your playlists back: From iTunes Menu - File choose "Import" and open that .xml file that you moved to your desktop (might work but need not).

  • Itunes will not play my music, when it does it plays for about 10 seconds then speeds through the rest of the song then jumps through the nexts songs in the album, anyone got any ideas dont have a clue

    Hi anyone
    i am having a problem with itunes, i cannot play tracks and when they do play they play for about 10 seconds then speed through to the end then jump down the next few tracks.
    Getting really frustrated as i am a complete novice on this type of thing, any help would be appreciated. i have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled no joy

    Dave, you are a god among mere mortal men!
    I had used the check to only load certain tracks on my iPod mini that my kids use, while loading everything on my iPod 60GB.
    I guess I should come up with a different method for that.
    Thank you for clueing me in on how the checkmark works.
    I'm a happy man once again.

  • ITunes will not play music, songs stuck at 0:00

    I know this is a frequent question as I've spent three hours searching through the support discussions here as well as elsewhere online, but none of the possible solutions I found posted worked for me.
    The problem, if you're unfamiliar with it, is that iTunes will not play any music (either songs I've ripped or songs I've bought off of the iTunes Store).
    I've tried updating iTunes and Quicktime, uninstalling and then reinstalling both, updating my audio drivers, playing with the preferences of both iTunes and Quicktime, made both programs the defaults for all associated file types, and rebooted countless times.
    I'm on a 3-month old Dell Inspiron running Windows 7 if that makes a difference.
    Any new suggestions anyone has or something random you may have tried that solved a similar problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks! 

    I'm afraid the problem is more widespread than just iTunes and the update didn't fix it. There's a thread out there about users not getting any sound/audio in Lion after wake from sleep or just having it idle for a long while.
    Hopefully, Mac OS X 10.7.2 will fix the issue.
    Thanks!

  • I downloaded the latest itunes update and it will not play my music and the sound on my computer has been disabled.

    I downloaded the latest itunes update on my HP desktop with Windows Vista and it will not play my music and has disabled the sound on my computer?

    Good Morning jsacc38,
    The resource below will help you with the issues you are having with the iTunes for Windows update on your PC:
    If you can't install or update iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201668
    Learn what to do if you can’t install or update iTunes on your Windows PC.
    If you can’t install iTunes on your Windows PC, or if you see “error 7” or “error 2” after you install the software, follow the steps below in order.
    If you see a different error when trying to launch iTunes, follow the steps in iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
    Make sure that you're logged in to your computer as an administrator.
    If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You can also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
    Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3). 
    If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
    If you have Windows XP: Choose Open.
    If you've previously installed iTunes, the installer will prompt you to repair the software.
    After the repair is complete, restart your computer and try launching iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows XP.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.
    Songs you bought from the iTunes Store or imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default. Deleting iTunes won’t delete your music.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some background processes can cause issues that prevent applications like iTunes from installing.
    If you installed security software and are having issues installing iTunes for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve the issues.
    Restart your computer.
    After the restart, and adjusting the software running on your PC, install iTunes again.
    Get more help
    If the steps in this article don't help you resolve the issue, you might be able to find a solution through a search of the Microsoft support website.
    If you receive errors regarding inaccessible registry keys during installation, try the steps found in "Could not open key" message when installing iTunes or Apple components for Windows.

  • Just purchased a new PC. I transferred entire library to cloud, my itunes will open, I can see my library but will not play any music or download it to either my devices

    I just purchased a new PC. I transferred my entire LIbrary to the Cloud, when I redownloaded my music onto my new PC, the itunes will not play music.

    You need to download the music to your computer from icloud or copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    Download past purchases - Support - Apple
    Not sure what you mean by "transferred my entire LIbrary to the Cloud"

  • 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?

  • My iphone will not play the music i have downloaded. can you help?

    My iphone will not play the music I purchased and downloaded. Can you help?

    That may be a problem related to network settings on your computer, or on the router that you use for connecting to the Internet.  Take a look at this article for a possible solution
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Since this actually a problem with using iTunes, and not directly related to an iPod (or an iPad), you may also want to ask your question in the appropriate iTunes forum category
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes
    The specific problem is that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store when using the iTunes app, even through your computer has Internet access.

  • 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.

  • Itunes will not play a number of songs in my library as they were purchased a long while ago using an email address and ISP that I no longer use. Any ideas?

    Itunes will not play a number of songs in my library as they were purchased a long while ago using an email address and ISP that I no longer use. When I try and play them I get the message "this computer is not authorised to play this song, authorise your computer now".  Any ideas?

    Hello, quckvic. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    You will need to reset your Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below.  Take a look at the option that refers to answering the security questions.  Since you do not have access to the email account and if you are unable to answer the security questions, see the second article.

  • IPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in "Pause" mode.  No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker.  I have 418 songs stored and none will play.

    iPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in “Pause” mode.  No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker.  I have 418 songs stored and none will play. I have tried resetting, turning on and off the iPod, etc. but to no avail.

    Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
