Music Constantly cycling through library, but not playing anything

I have 2 windows 7 computers, and this problem occurs on both.  When I play music, after skipping to the next song if one comes on I don't like playing, iTunes cycles through my entire library trying to play a song, but never actually able to.  This problem lasts until the next system restart, and is getting annoying.  I figured it was a problem with the RAZER Synapse software, so I disabled it, and it worked ok one time then the problem came back.  Does any one else have this issue?  If so, is there a solution to prevent it from happening?

Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

  • I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and  in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! The files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in my itunes library but can play them - there is an exclamation mark next

    I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! THe files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in the itunes library but can't play them - there is an exclamation mark next to each track. Basically I can't use itunes - is the only option remove and replace? Thanks in advance

    Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    Missing tracks
    Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
    Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • My pc crashed. I got it back up and running but my itunes music library is gone.  I have the music on my ipod but am afraid to sync new music in case it deletes all my music off my ipod.  How do I get the music back onto my library but not delete of ipod?

    My pc had crashed several months ago.  I got it back up and running, however my itunes library with all the songs I purchased is gone.  I still have all songs on my ipod.  If I purchase new music from itunes and have it synced to my ipod will I lose all the music on my ipod?  Also is there a way that itunes can reinstall my music to my library?

  • 1st generation seen by itunes but not playing anything.

    1st gen ipod shuffle user. reinstalled itunes7 on a new machine and tried to use shuffle on new machine. ran ipod reinstall program to start over. itunes will see the ipod and im able to add items via itunes. nothing however is playing on the unit itself. wondering what step im missing. any help appreciated thanks

    Does the loading process seem to be normal? Are any extraneous icons left in the Shuffle's playlist after the upload is completed? Does the light display on the Shuffle appear to be normal when you attempt to play, the same as you're used to seeing?

  • When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

    When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

  • HT4528 iphone 5 - dock will charge but not play music.

    I've read and read and read posts about this same problem with no solution found.
    I have an iphone 5 that just randomly quit playing music through any docking accessories.  It will continue to charge, but not play music.  It worked when I first got it, but later just stopped.  Same docking accessories, same cables, same phone.  Nothing changed, just quit working.  My phone is not jailbroken.  I have restored it.  I updated to the ios7 software which fixed the problem... for a day.  Now we are back to it not working again! 
    Please, if anyone knows a way to fix this, help me!!!  This is the whole reason why I own an iphone.  It keeps me from having to have a seperate phone and ipod!!!
    Thank you in advance.

    Try unplugging the docking station from power for a minute or so, then also in that time, reset your phone by holding the power button and the home button until it turns off. Then turn it back on and try again.

    2nd > I purchased 21 new tunes yesterday on the new computer> worked great> but when I made a disc to transfer the playlist. I get the music but no album info just 1,2,3,etc. So I have signup both computers to share thinking that would work. But no to that also.
    Please advise.

  • Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. Please help.

    Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I own ipad mini. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. I have already tried removing & reinstalling it. I also have tried with various formats like MPEG, MOV, MP4. Please help.

    I already have what you ( ClayandLonnie ) have suggested with the preferences>Shareing Preferences set to share all.
    I have tried turing it off, and then back on.
    I have tried just sharing specific items and this still did not work.
    I am going to try stepping back down to 11.04.4 as previously suggested by TheDarkCanuck when I get home tomorrow. (maybe saturday).  I am just leary about having to recreate all my libraries and how long that might take.  I have over 1.5 TB of Music and Video, that is why I would like to get it working in the current version.
    Just because I don't have a Mac, it seems that this is not being taken as a real problem for the windows 7 users (maybe it is specific to 64bit).  I may try the 32bit version to see if that fixes it first.  Unless someone else has, and want to chime in.

  • Some Itunes songs in my library do not play. How do I play them?

    Many of the songs purchased and located in my Itunes library do not play.  One of the common denominators with the non-playing songs is the Icloud with an arrow next to the song.  I've been instructed to click on these and nothing happens.     I've also checked my account for available downloads and receive a response indicating everything has already been downloaded.     My computer is authorized. The songs were purchased through Itunes and used to play.  I purchased the Icloud last year, never really used it and did not renew.   I spent 45 minutes (on the phone) with Apple support represenative yesterday. She did was not able to resolve the issue and after 15 minutes placed me on hold.  I waited 30 minutes for her ro return and finally hung up.
    Perhaps, someone has had a simliar experience and can help me out.

    Hello Jeanette,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Sorry to that there is an issue with some of your purchased songs.  First, I recommend trying to delete the problematic songs and redownload the songs from your past purchases.
    Follow these steps to delete the song from your iPhone:
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf ):
    You can follow the steps in the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article to redownload the songs (as long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the songs, you will not be charged for the songs):
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you are still not able to play the songs after redownloading them, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:
