Itunes will not play my songs on my new computer I am using Windows 8

I bought a new computer a few months ago. It is an HP using Windows 8. I have all my music in my itunes library but they will not play at all. The music video's will play but not the mp3's.

  • ITunes will not play a song, keeps asking for computer to be authorised

    I've just downloaded a few songs off iTunes. All of them play except one. When I click on it, a message appears: "This computer is not authorised to play "x". Would you like to authorise it" and then you can put your id and password in. I do and get a further message "This computer is already authorised" and that I have used 2 of my 5 available computers. I click "ok" - the only option - and then on the song where I get the original message.

    Hi,
    Could be a corrupt download of that particular track.
    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Track(s) and re-download... See Here  >  Download Past Purchases

  • 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!

  • ITunes Will Not Play Some Songs

    I have all my songs (about 4000) on an external hard drive - a mixture of mp3's and m4a's. Last week it seemed to lose all of my Music Library and sub-folders. However I ran a chkdsk and this seemed to recover them. Most songs that I've played through iTunes since then seem ok. However it is still regularly coming up with a few that just will not play so I'm guessing they got corrupted when the disk had its wobble. I've run an mp3 validator on all the mp3's to quickly identify those. Is there an equivalent utility I can run on m4a's or something in iTunes that will check the validity of all the files in its library?

    You have the classic symptoms of iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. Treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator usually solves the problem.
    i'm going to have to wait for an update.
    Actually this problem has been getting worse in recent years. Use MP3 Validator.

  • Itunes will not play any songs/videos; also, videos wont tranfer to iPod.

    This problem started a couple of days ago; It started after I downloaded 6.0.2... There were a bunch of problems to my computer because of that, although they might not have been related. In any case, I ended up using system restore 3 times and uninstalling/reinstalling itunes quite a bit.
    Now my computer's back to normal, except one thing: iTunes. Its acting... funky. Weird. It wont play any songs/videos on iTunes itself, which is annoying but I don't mind it as I just use my iPod... EXCEPT that it wont transfer ANY videos to my iPod. NONE. Even the old videos on it were erased as iTunes said that "They can't be viewed". I KNOW these videos work on my iPod as I converted them to specifications and plus, I've seen most of them before on it (Also, I have a few music store bought videos and they wont transfer either). It seems to be a deep rooted technical problem inside iTunes, but I can't seem to fix it.
    I've repaired/reinstalled/completely uninstalled, wiped reg. values with a cleaner, and it STILL doesn't work...
    I need help. This problem is weird, and I'd like it fixed. I want to see videos again...

    If anyone else can't play songs from their device in iTunes, try steps below which solved my problem:
    Be sure your device is selected.
    Right Click anywhere on Contents screen.
    Select "Reset Plays" your selected song(s) should begin playing.
    The "Pause, Play etc" buttons are no longer greyed out.

  • There is no audio output on my MBA in the system preferences-sound folder. Therefore no sound comes from my computer. At the same time this happened, any streaming video stopped playing after 11 seconds, as well as iTunes will not play any song. Help!?

    Hello everyone.
    i have a 15" MBA circa 2011 running Lion 10.7.5 and my sound has gone, There is a no sound circle on my volume display and in system preferences sound my options for output is empty. At the same time this happened I noticed 2 things: 1) itunes would not actually play any audio track and every video i streamed stopped after a few seconds (usually 11s) but not always.
    I have tried following some tips I have found online like going into MIDI and fixing the problem there, restarting in safe mode. Resetting with PRAM (or something that sounds like that).
    Does anyone have any insight on this? At this point i'm thinking it's time to reload Lion but I don't really know how to go about that without losing all of my files.
    Please Help
    Thanks

  • ITunes will not download purchased songs on an authorised computer.

    Hey there,
    I bought a few songs on my laptop through iTunes around a year ago. Since then, my laptop has been wiped and a new OS has been installed. I went to authorise my computer, but it said it was already authorised. I have not reached my maximum five limit.
    I have no option to view my purchases. I can see my download history on my account, but the usual option that appears on left hand side, unde the store and other playlists is not there.
    If anyone could help me out, I would be really happy. Some great songs I want to listen to again!
    Many thanks, Max

    You may want to contact the iTunes Store and give them your facts. They may allow a second download. It is worth a try. You can contact them here:

  • 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.

  • After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

    after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

    First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
    If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
    Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

  • 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?
