ITunes won't play through 2nd gen AE 802.11n

Just purchased Logitech Z323 speakers. Plugged correct wire into Airport Express 802.11n (2nd gen). Unable to play iTunes through the Logitech speakers plugged into the AE. Have searched the Discussions and googled high and low and can't get any traction. Asking for anyone's help, thank you! :-)

Finally found the Apple article on this. Had not seen the info to go into Airport Utility, select the AX, click Edit, select AirPlay tab. Enter an AirPlay Speakers password, confirm the password. I then quit iTunes, relaunched iTunes.
A new icon appeared at the top-left-middle of iTunes window. It looks like an envelope with an up-arrow within the envelope. Here is where you can select the AirPlay speakers attached to your AX as the speakers you wish to play music through.
I then went to my iPhone 4S, opened Music and began to play a song. At the bottom of the iPhone screen, to the right of the volume control slidebar, is the same envelope-with-up-arrow icon that appears now in iTunes on my laptop. Select the envelope-arrow, and select the Airplay Speakers. That allows playing music from iPhone through the speakers attached to the Airport Express.

HD Video's Won't Play on 2nd Gen Ipod Touch

I recently bought a 2nd gen ipod touch, i had owned one before, but that was when HD videos were basically just starting, so i had never had problems with getting tv shows on my ipod, i have recently downloaded 2 HD episodes of Family Guy, but whenever i try to put them on my ipod an error comes up that they aren't a supported format, is there a way i can trade these HD versions for SD versions, or a way that i can get a converter that can put them in the right format? (When i looked on itunes, i only saw hd episodes, because it was season 9 of family guy, i have no clue if there are any SD versions, so a converter would be the most helpful)

HD is NOT supported on the 2nd gen ipod touch.
Every time you download HD content, the SD version automatically is downloaded as well. Sync this version, not the HD version.
I would guess that there is an SD version/ Look more closely.

ITunes won't play through Airport Express

I have my stereo connected to the Airport Express via optical cable. I can Airplay from my iPhone to the AE, but for some reason iTunes running on my MBP won't Airplay to the AE. The AE is listed as a remote speaker option, but when i select it, nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

. Short answer: No.
. Long answer: I've been going back and forth with Dan Hill ([email protected]) and his best suggestion so far (port fowarding the known itunes ports to the server's static IP Port Forwarding iTunes on the Ubee U10C022-Ambit - PortForward.com) of course didn't work because the streaming and handshaking for connecting to the remotes doesn't go out or in through the router. I'm not playing this over the WAN just a subset of my LAN.
. Since this all worked behind the AT&T Uverse Router 3800HGV-B but stopped behind the Ubee DDW3611, that's the presumed culprit.
. When time permits, my next two tests are to rearrange the network so the AP Extreme is DHCP host and firewall and the DDW3611 is only a bridge, and then to crash the mini back to 10.6 if all else fails, since the other two computers work fine.
. I also talked with Emilio at the LaCantera Apple Genius Bar. Couldn't set up a similar problem there (they have a trunk line to AT&T) and no new hints.
. Problem is beyond the control I have in the Time Warner Cable (TWC) bridge and Lion has also removed many controls.
Idiot proofing downfall: the idiot is behind the locked door.

ITunes 12.1 won't play through bluetooth speakers

Ever since the latest iTunes update (12.1.0.71 64 bit), my music from iTunes won’t play through my bluetooth speaker connected to my laptop. Every other sound the computer makes plays through the speakers while iTunes plays through the laptop’s built in speakers.The speakers are also set as the default audio device for the computer. There aren’t any options in the iTunes preferences that would allow me to choose an audio device to play music through.
**My iTunes is operating on a Windows laptop and the bluetooth speakers are JBL if this helps, but everything was working fine until this new update**

There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio - one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8. It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

ITunes 11.5.1 won't play through interface

I have a MBP. I upgraded to Mavericks after a crash. I've been selectively restoring items from the backup drive. I installed the latest version of apps, including iTunes, MainStage 3, and Guitar Band, and reinstalled Logic Pro 9, all from the App store. I have an M-audio Firewire 410 hooked up to the computer to play through studio speakers. Everything always worked fine.
Now, when I play iTunes through the built-in speakers, it works fine. But when I change the output in system prefs to Firewire 410, iTunes won't play any songs. The play icon turns into a pause icon, but the song isn't playing. It just freezes at the beginning of the song.
I have reinstalled the Firewire 410 drivers, reinstalled iTunes, and repaired permissions a couple of times. I'm not sure what else to try.

Hello LBV123,
The next step would be to report the issue to the folks in the iTunes Store, as detailed in the article below.

Ipod won't play through headphones anymore... and I JUST bought it!

I just bought my 5th Gen. ipod nano a week ago and was working fine. After I had used it on my ihome docking station, it won't play through my headphones anymore.... I use the ear buds that came with it- all the player does is imediatly play through the speaker- is there a setting or something where I can hear through the ear buds? I know I have the earbuds pushed into the jack all the way, I can actually hear some music in the earbuds (just not very loud). What can I do?

Sorry, allow me to ask you a question, have you tried to increase the volume of the iPod, if Yes, then bring it for service ... it is a hardware issue

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.

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???

ITunes won't play imported tunes w/o original CD in CD-Reader

I'm using Windows XP and ITunes 6 on an HP-Pavilion laptop. I imported some tunes into ITunes from the original music CD, but when I remove the CD ITunes won't play the tunes until I put the CD back in the reader. Older tunes loaded several months ago play OK without the CD in the reader. What's wrong?

Solved my problem. I had plugged in my new ION USB turntable to an USB port but not to a stereo amplifier thinking that the sound would play through my IMAC speakers. According to the ION user manual sound will come through my computer speakers when I recording a track from a record. What the manual did not say was that plugging into the USB port disabled the speakers from ITunes. When I unplugged the ION cable from the USB port I got my ITunes sound back.

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.

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.
