ITunes won't play/QuickTime RunTime error -- Total Recorder related ...

Hello -- I am having some iTunes issues. It will not play any MP3s in my library ... it will play CDs, but I get an error message when I try to rip them. And, very odd, QuickTime gives me this error:
"The application has requested the RunTime to terminiate it in an unusual way. Please contact ehe applications support team for more information."
I know this is likely based on my installing the nefarious "Total Recorder" (boo!) and I'm well-versed in the issues it has with iTunes and have tried the fixed proposed on apple.com. I have removed it and even scanned my registry to make sure there are no references; and re-installed my audio drivers.
Any ideas?
Dell Inspiron 700m Windows XP Pro

... it's hard in the poor places tonight ...
When I try to rip I get the cryptic "An unknown error occured (-223)."
okay. what antivirus and antispyware applications are you running at the moment?
i've seen one case of that one being caused by interference by an antispyware package:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=825155&#825155
(good lord ... and i now see Justin was getting the same "itunes won't play music" symptom too. i hadn't remembered that.)
perhaps first try switching your antispyware off (experimentally) prior to playing or ripping, to see if that helps. otherwise, let's try a reinstall with antispyware disabled (like Justin) to see if that helps matters.

ITunes won't play quicktime videos on Mac anymore.

I'm using 10.7.3
iTunes 10.6
MacBook Pro 2.6Ghz 4GB ram
iTunes won't play my video anymore and it's been a while I'm not sure when it occured if it's after an update to snow leopard or iTunes updates...
When I double click a video I get "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." ??
...and cannot convert the option doesn't work I get this other message when trying to convert a version for APPLE TV in advanced menu "None of the selected files were converted because they could not be found."??
But the movies are quicktime movies in my library and the MPEG-4 plays in iTunes but not on APPLE TV.
From all my videos I get one only going through APPLE TV and when I try opening it it says error occured why opening and never works??
It seems APPLE is regularly messing things up in updates to loose people so they have to pay for tech support, I didn't upgrade to iPhoto 11 and cannot import anything anymore into it so my entire library is a dead one ; not a cool way to do business than messing people software so they have to buy newer versions!!!
Any specialists that know how to fix this ??

The 32-bit solution has never, I repeat, never worked for me. I've even done a full reinstall on a clean drive of OSX Lion with a fresh install of iTunes downloading a video of "The Big Bang Theory" that just came out this last thursday and still get the error (just finished the full reinstall to a clean drive now and, no, I didn't do any backup restores.)
The only solution I've found is to remove the video from iTunes, without deleting the file, then import the file back into iTunes.
Switching to 32-bit iTunes to run the file causes iTunes to tell me it needs to open iTunes to play the file then it sits and waits for itself to open until I cancel the process. The video then plays without audio.
I have noticed that I can stream the files to my Apple TV to play even while getting the error trying to play them on the computer I downloaded the files onto.
As a result of this error, I've had to reduce the amount of content I purchase from iTunes. no more buying whole seasons at a time unless I do it at the start of the season. Even then, I'm reconsidering it. The amount of work required to get the files into a playable status on the computer is simply too great on an on-going basis.

Sound not working & iTunes won't play & Netflix error

Sometimes my sound stops working, and songs on iTunes won't play when this happens. Also if I try to watch Netflix an error message comes up: "Netflix Playback Error N8157 3140" and it says it could have something to do with my Silverlight plugin.
This is what it says:
The error you're seeing is related to the Silverlight plugin, which Netflix uses to play movies and TV shows on your computer.
This error is usually caused by one of two things:
A computer setting preventing Silverlight from storing files it needs to play your movie or TV show
An issue with the Silverlight plugin itself
To fix this error, follow the steps below for your Windows or Mac computer.
Reinstall your audio card drivers
Your audio card drivers may be out of date or corrupt.
Uninstall and reinstall your audio card driver. Your owner's manual or audio card manufacturer's website can help.
However, I have tried deleting and reinstalling silverlight, but it doesn't make a difference. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? It only happens sometimes, other times I have no problems and it works fine.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Silverlight
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Hey guys, here's my problem.
I had some major issues with OSX last week that a trip to the Apple Store couldn't fix. Their only advice was to save all my pictures, music, documents, etc. and reformat. I did that yesterday. I reinstalled everything and then downloaded all the most recent updates.
Today, I can play all the music I own in iTunes (music imported from CDs, bought from other sites, and music bought from iTunes itself). However, it won't play any of the music videos I have (all bought off iTunes).
I have authorized the computer again and again. When I try to open the videos in Quicktime it tells me that I don't have permission to play them and that I need to authorize the computer.
I'm lost. Any help?

Yup, this Audio but no Video WAS exactly the same trouble I was having, on my MacBook and iMac but not the other 2 MacBooks. This was due to the speaker settings at the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes window. I do use multiple speakers via Airtunes, on the two that were having trouble but not the other two, and although the speakers were only set to the computer it still wouldn't play the video content.
Whilst the audio (of the music video) was playing I then went to reselect multiple speakers, which brought up the "*failure to connect to remote speakers network refused connection*" warning, then I unchecked the remote speakers to leave just the "Computer" and hey presto the video came to life.
Thank you Charles C n Miami and hope this extra info helps.
Happy Music Video Watching

Itunes won't play, store won't play, no audio

itunes won't play, itunes store won't play, no audio.

Make sure the volume slider in iTunes isn't all the way to the left.
If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly

ITunes won't play audio with mp4 or mov video

I have wasted many frustrating hours now trying to get iTunes to play mp4 and mov videos but can't get any sound. A few months back it was working fine. Tried ALL the suggested fixes like uninstalling, updating and checking all the MIME/File boxes. When I went back to QT 7.5 and played the files independently of iTunes everything was fine. Quicktime 7.6, 7.67 & 7.7.1 do not play the audio independently or under iTunes and of course iTunes won't play video with QT less than 7.7.1. The same mp4 videos uploaded to my iPOD work fine. I currently have iTunes 10.5.3.3 installed on a Windows XP SP3 on an e-machines pc. Ideas please!!

I got this problem as well. Seems as soon as I moved to version 7.6 it stopped playing my video audio. My music plays fine, but my video audio is non-existant. It's not the file itself because I can play off my iPod (though not off my iPod through iTunes) just fine. I've done all the suggestions above and NOTHING has worked. Is there anything else we can find???

Why is Lion so slow? Everything takes 2-3X as long as before and iTunes won't play most of my movies.

Got Lion. Now, opening a movie with Quicktime takes 10 seconds, opening ANY application takes twice as long as before, and iTunes won't play most of my movies that used to play in previous versions of iTunes. I'm frustrated. Even the web is markedly slower with pages taking 5-6 seconds to load up (and they are simple pages sans videos).
What gives? Any solutions? Anyone having similar issues?
The ONLY thing that took less time was Disk Utility...it ran in 4 minutes when it used to take 7--8 minutes.

Lion is much more demanding on memory. It is almost unusable on my computers that have 2 gig of memory. On the macbook air I am typing this from, it is using 1.5 Gig of memory out of 2 gig. Anything like playing a movie is going to be quite compromised. SL used about 400 MB for normal low-demand operations. The memory is soldered on in this laptop, so I am screwed, but it is fairly cheap and easy to add memory to most others. OWC is a good place to look. Max it out. I think your iMac can take 6 GB.

ITunes won't play or import my burned CD

iTunes won't play or import my burned CD, this CD is not dirty, plays in my car's CD player and I just imported a purchased CD without issue. When I try to import the burned CD (which is one 50 minute track) iTunes imports the track in under a second, but when I try to play it, it flashes in the now playing window for a second before going away. This has never happened before, I just updated iTunes which never seems to do any good, hope someone can help me out!

That is a format compatible with iTunes.
Can you drag the file to the Desktop and then play the tune with QuickTime?

Itunes won't open...error 2206..tried many time to uninstall and to install...any help?

Itunes won't open...error 2206
I have tried to uninstall and to reinstall...still won't open.
Any suggestions so i can use my itunes library again?

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.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

ITunes won't play ANY of my music!

When I select a song and press the spacebar or click the song or whatever, iTunes won't PLAY IT. The timer comes up like it's gonna play but it never starts counting. The icon to select pause comes up instead of the icon to select play in the top left corner. EVERYTHING about iTunes is working correctly up until the second that you expect the sound to come out. You know the little speaker icon next to the song? You know how it shows little lines that represent sound coming out of it when it begins playing a song? Even THAT works. It's just that the little time keeper across the top doesn't scroll across the song! My speakers work fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. I've restarted the computer and shut it down! I checked the preferences menu. I can burn CDs still. Like I said, everything in iTunes is working fine except for the fact that the songs don't play. The files are still there. HELP! THis is driving me nuts. It wasn't working in 10.4.6 and it's still not working in 10.4.7. I've done every update...NOTHING!
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I am having the exact same problem. I have updated both the system and iTunes. I have an mBox whose driver I have reinstalled (although I knew that wouldn't really make a difference to iTunes NOT playing).
I'm stumped.
Zapped PRAM.
Repaired permissions - they didn't need it.
Help!

ITunes won't play in Windows 8.1...help!

I just updated my computer from Window's 8 to 8.1 and now iTunes won't play anything at all. I can open up the iTunes store and everything else, but once I click on a song it will show that it is playing but nothing happens. I even tried moving "QTMovieWin.dll" from c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\ to c:\program files (x86)\iTunes but nothing happened after I did that. Is there anything else that can be done to fix this problem? Thanks!

I have searched high and low for the right solution for this issue. I'm on an HP Envy laptop, running iTunes 12, and just upgraded to Windows 8.1.
I tried the settings for bit rate as suggested above and it still didn't work, but I did solve the problem.
In iTunes I went to Preferences > Playback > Play Audio Using ... and changed the setting from "Direct Sound" to "Windows Audio Session"
Now my iTunes on my laptop works!

Movie purchased in iTunes won't play. Audio is fine; video doesn't appear.

Yes there is.
Go to the iTunes Store on your computer. Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side. Click the "All" tab on top. The song is there. Re-download it.

Can't turn mute off / iTunes won't play

After a blue screen restart into safe mode this morning, I have lost all sound. System Preferences lists it as mute, but won't let me change the setting. The volume keys do nothing and I can't adjust using the icon in the menu bar.
While trying to work out the extent of the problem, I have noticed that iTunes won't play.
The computer blue-screened after I downloaded the latest security update. I thought it was because my startup disc was full and after I restarted, I got rid of some of the excess. Everything seemed fine so I downloaded the iTunes update (at the time I didn't realise that the sound wasn't working).
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Kate Buchanan

all well - though the first restart did nowt, the second gave me large amounts of joy
