I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the track from the Music app on your iPad and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (or via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if the re-downloaded version also doesn't works then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Music showing up but won't play

I am trying to transfer my music to my ipad from my laptop. It shows on my ipad that all the music is their but 90% of them are a light grey color and won't play while the other 10% is a bold dark black color and will play. Can someone please help me with this.

I have downloaded a song in itunes, but it appearing in my phone as light grey and wont play.

I have purchased a song from itunes on my iphone, but it wont download correctly. It is appearing in light grey with no artwork and won't play when I click on it. I've have tryed deleting it and re-downloading, but the same happens ever time. It has download to my ipad fine, so there is nothing wrong with the purchase. Can anyone help?

Yes, this is very frustrating. OK, I have a lot of songs on my iPod and in iTunes that were transferred from CDs. Only the 'purchased' songs from iTunes show up on my phone, not the 3,000+ songs I physically downloaded from said CDs. On the screen of my iPhone, the songs are in grey and next to it in red is a circle with a square inside (similar to when you download an APP) but it won't download. I am now trying the 'home sharing' that I found in an old post and syncing the phone, again, to see if that helps. I think I am going to have to make a trip to an Apple store. If anyone has an answer to this, I would appreciate it. Many thanks, JP

IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ? Anybody help please. Thanks

iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
You may want to ask in the right forum.

After updating my iPhone 4 to ios5 music from my playlist won't play?

After I updated my iPhone I try playing music and only the songs that I bought on iTunes will play on the iPhone, when I click play nothing happens. The songs will play fine on my computer. I resented and hard reset it sinc it twice and still won't work

I tried all the things in the forums and I also did all the things the Apple techs told me to do... Uninstalled iTunes completely, and then reinstalled. I erased all the info on my iPhone 4S, set it up as a new phone and tried to sync again. All of it failed to work.
Here is what worked for me:
1) Start iTunes
2) Connect iPhone
3) Click on iPhone device in left hand column
4) On the Summary tab, in the Options section, I had nothing checked.
5) Check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC"
6) Started sync
7) Waited until a track was syncing
8) Uncheck "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC"
9) Click on Apply and started the sync again
Most of the tracks made it over but not all of them.
I sent my computer and iTunes diagnostic information over to Apple and now I'm waiting on a response from them on how to get the remaining tracks over to my iPhone.

My music is stuck and won t play the rest of it work

my i pod touch is playing music but everything else work, what can I do too fix it?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Some music in my ipod won't play and the appear but when i try to play it it skips to the next available song? what can i do to fix this? Thanks

this started to happen after i updated my ipod with the new version

Did you sync your iPod touch to iTunes and click on music on your pc or Mac.
Sometimes you might of Delated your music in the library.
And try resync.

I updated my iPhone and now none of the music on it will play. When I sync, I can change teh music selections on it, but they all won't play and are greyed out. Only the Playlists, Artists, Albums are black font, but all songs are grey and won't play

I recently updated my iPhone 3G to 5.0 (9A334) and it was somehow interrupted during restoration, or at least that is what it tells me. But it keeps making a new restore and adding it to a list, but never gets through without getting interrupted. anyways, I kind of got through all that, but now all the music on the iPhone won't play and is greyed out. I had some APPs greyed out, but they are not as important. Music is a huge investment in my life and this part of it has gone silent. I SYNC with my iMac. Resyncing doesn't help. I can change the selections, but can never get them to play on the iPhone.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

Moved iTunes music folder to new HD and it won't play

I recently moved my iTunes music files to a larger external hard drive (for the third time) and now iTunes can't find any of the songs. It has worked in the past on 2 other HD's but not this time. I've selected the correct iTunes Music Folder location under <EDIT> <PREFERENCES> <ADVANCED>, have selected "Keep music folder organized", and have even "consolidated my music", but the files won't play. The files are in-tact; I can right-click on a song, click "get info", and manually locate the file to play it, but I don't want to do this for 70GB worth of music!!! Someone suggested dragging the music files into the iTunes library, but I have the library on my laptop and the actual music files on the external HD and I want to keep the library on my laptop so I don't think this will work for me. please help.

I have a very similar problem. Hope I don't confuse people trying to help us since the solutions may be different.
I had my iTunes path directed to a 2nd internal hard drive. Everything was working fine - except I found that purchased Apps were still being downloaded to the Mobile Applications folder on my main hard drive instead of the 2nd internal drive. I decided to retry directing the iTunes path to my 2nd internal drive, hoping that might get iTunes to save my Apps there. Big Mistake. Suddenly, there were no Apps showing in my iTunes Library Apps window at all. I verified the downloaded apps are still in my main hard drive's Mobile Applications folder, but I cannot get iTunes to display them in my Apps Library window anymore.
I decided to try downloading a new app and, sure enough, iTunes once again downloaded it into the very same Mobile Applications folder on my main hard drive, where all my (now orphaned) original apps are, but the only one iTunes will only display in my Apps window is the new one. I read you can redownload purchased apps, but my apps are not missing. iTunes just won't display them in the Apps window anymore.

My music won't play on my laptop.

Since I upgraded to IOS it says it can't 'locate the file' to play the music. My iphone is working perfectly even after i sync it. Any help?

You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

Made a restore to a new mini but iTunes music is there but it won't play. States "look for files"???

Made a restore to a new Mac mini and iTunes music is there but won't play. It states "can't find file. Look for it???"

I have heard of some people having a similar problem, which was resolved by a simple restart of their iPhone. If that doesn't help you, you may want to consider de-authorizingyour computer in iTunes, then re-authorizing it and performing a sync to your iPhone again.
