"Lost" files and wont play music

First, iTunes stopped playing music. I double clicked a song, it would show up in the bar at the top, and then start scanning through all 14k songs in my library maybe playing every other song's first second or two. Then it started telling me that song files couldn't be found. Now it's doing both. I just upgraded to the new iTunes and it's still not working.

Further, I can't get the grey box to go away asking me if I want to search for the next song that's suddenly missing.

My music has a cloud with a redline next to it and wont play music I downloaded

I downloaded songs from itunes and they wont play they have a cloud next to them with a redline through it, I cannot seem to fix this problem

Ok strange work around but try this. Hook your phone up to the computer you sync it to. On the phone go to settings / iTunes & App store double tap your apple ID and log out. Then sync your phone. (make sure you have selected the music or apps you want to sync in iTunes on your computer). That should move all those cloud with red line songs to your phone (or other device). Now just sign back into your account on the phone.

Trying to post avi file and wont play.

I am wanting to add an avi file to my families web page and every time that i upload it, it tells me that an additional plugin is needed to play the file. Then it tells me that there are no plugins available. How can I remedy this problem?

Can you post the code that you use to play that AVI file on that website?
<pre><nowiki><object data="file.avi" type="application/x-mplayer2" height="xxx" width="xxx">
<param name="filename" value="file.avi">
</object></nowiki></pre>

Message pops up on iTunes and wont play music.

"iTunes has detected that it is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Programs control panel to fix this?"
So I went but I dont know how to fix this.
I have Windows Vista... just in case that might help.
Then I noticed that no music will play at all on my computer.
Not even online.
What do I do?
My computer was working perfectly yesterday.
I remember listening to music any advice?

+Then I noticed that no music will play at all on my computer.+
Can you play anything using Windows Media Player? If not, go to start > help & support becuase it is a windows problem, not something for the apple discussions boards.

Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!! My itunes only has like 4 songs because my computer crashed and lost all my songs, and I'm not trying to steal his music. But like I said its still in the music app on the phone but its all blank and wont play. I just want it off.

When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.

How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

My ipod wont play music solely through ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and the earphones together. Is this able to be fixed??

I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.

I was almost finished editing my video and suddenly my video files just show a black screen and wont play.

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!
