My itunes does not play anything anymore

Itunes won't play anything anymore, wether it is in the cloud, from the store or even from my computer. It shows the song in the window but no sound and the timer does not move from 0:00

Hello KarolineSG, 
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
It seems like iTunes on your Mac is not playing songs at all, and the play counter is stuck at 0:00. 
You can find some troubleshooting tips for this situation in the following article:
iTunes 11 for Mac: If you have trouble playing music or other audio
Most of the steps in this article can help with both iTunes 11 and 12. 
All the best,
Jeremy

  • ITunes does not play Podcasts in a row

    Hi everybody.
    Why is it, that iTunes does not play Podcasts in a row like it does in individual playlists. It stops after each episode of a subscribed Podcast and I have to manually trigger the next one. Even more so, the iPod returns to its main menu after each episode in a Podcast. This is annoying, especially when I am driving or jogging.
    Do I have to organize my Podcasts in playlists or is there another trick or tweak?
    Thank you!

    Playlists are a possible workaround, but I just drill into the genre -> Podcast -> "All" -> podcast name to get to a list that plays straight through.

  • Vibe Duo Headset clicker does not control *anything* anymore on 3Gs

    I have spoken to several people on the internet in relation to this problem.
    The iPhone 3Gs has been an awesome experience thus far, except for one minor (not minor for me, though...) issue.
    My Vibe Duo earphones do not work with the 3Gs. That is to say, I can hear. And people can hear me using the mic. But the clicker does not control anything anymore on the 3Gs. Not sure what changed, but I hope it's a bug and is fixed soon?
    Sign in here with whatever experiences you are having with headphone clicker buttons on the 3Gs please.

    Same experience here.

  • IPod does not play anything. But...

    My iPod video will not play anything. It doesn't freeze, it doesn't skip, it just won't play anything. The buttons are functioning, and I've tried the 5Rs, it just won't play anything. The time stays at 0:00, and I'm able to do things like go back to the menu, and change the volume. I've viewed the other topics on the forum, and restoration has worked for all of them, but not me. The songs are from CDs that were lawfully purchased. Any help is appreciated.

    Have you tried a reformat in Windows (FAT32, not a quick format) and then a Restore in iTunes?
    Also, after doing this and before syncing, Deauthorize your computer in the Store menu, play one of your iTunes Store purchased songs and when prompted enter your Apple ID and password. Now sync the iPod.

  • Sometimes itunes does not play songs

    From time to time my itunes stops playing: When I select
    a song in my library or a song in the itunes store, the song
    is displayed at the top, but itunes does not start playing.
    Additionally, it won't play any other song.
    When I close the itunes software (hitting [x] at the top
    of the window), I cannot restart itunes until I end
    the still living process itunes.exe in the task manager.
    When I restart itunes afterwards, the same songs in the
    library (or in the itunes store) play properly.
    I use itunes 7.2.0.34, but the problem also existed
    with earlier versions (I think they startet with 7.x)
    and still persists.
    I followed the hints in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610,
    no change.
    Does anybody experience similar problems?
    This is really frustrating!
    Thanks,

    Just as an update, someone suggested reinstalling iTunes to fix the problem. I don't know if you loose the songs in your library but I asked the kind person that answered my question.

  • After installation of 10.2.2 iTunes does not start up anymore

    I updated my system to 10.2.2. today. Now itunes does not start anymore. I receive an Error Message saying "iTunes was was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes Error 7 (Windows Error 998))" I reinstalled iTunes - same effect. Even a complete reinstallation of the entire .NET Framework 2, 3.5 and 4 did not help. Could anyone help please. Honestly spoken I am quite upset since I do not have access to my library anymore.....
    Thanks

    If it isn't the .NET thing, and you aren't getting an additional message mentioning a specific filename, then it's probably damage to one of the software components installed with iTunes, Holger.
    Usually it's a damaged Apple Application Support, but I've seen it produced by a damaged QuickTime in some contexts too. So it might be best to do a complete reinstall of iTunes as per the instructions in the following documents.
    If you've got a Windows XP system, see:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    If you've got a Windows Vista or 7 system, see:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Does that fix the error for you?

  • ITunes does not sync properly anymore

    When I try sync my iPhone 5 (iOS7.0.3) with iTunes 11.1.2.31 it syncs my apps and co. but actually does not sync my music.
    The music I bought with iTunes is automatically downloaded on all my Apple devices. But when I add those ne songs to playlists on my PC and then connect my iPhone and start the sync, all steps are done, but in the music app, nothing changed. The playslists, to which I add the new songs, still remain same on the iPhone, as if I'd never changed anything...
    Can anyone help me with my problem or does have the same problem?

    So I've been looking for a solution for days. There has been so many problems for the past week.
    - Some songs play counts going up by 6 plays each time I sync
    - Songs not transferring from PC to phone
    - Songs appearing on the phone with download icon
    - When viewing 'What's on this phone' on itunes songs have the 'grey dotted circle of death' next to them
    Now I've deleted an album I bought the other day from iTunes from my PC and it doesn't even appear in my transactions from the past few days, And when I view it in the store it says purchased but there is no option to download it again.
    WHAT A MESS! Apple please fix this ASAP. There are numerous threads with issues that I have stated above and there is not ONE solution.

  • WIndows 7 64 bit, iTunes does not play music

    I have new computer WIndows 7 64 bit, I installed the iTunes successfully and can open it. But when I click on the music, they just don't play the music at all. I have tried uninstall and reinstall the itunes, but it still does not work.

    Same problem here.  Apple makes outstanding hardware but the constant updates of their software tells the tale.

  • My Itunes does not play quicktime

    I have the latest Itunes software version 10.6.3 but when I go to podcasts and try to play video, it tells me that my version does not support quicktime. Help! I have tried updating it but it does not seem to work.

    Try relaunching iTunes in 32-bit mode first, as per the instructions in the following document:

  • ITunes does not sync music anymore (iPhone)

    I have had the iPhone for 10 months, always worked just fine, but the last firmware update is giving me serious headaches. The last issue is that it syncs everything via iTunes BUT not the music. I get an error message that says some files are not found. The path to the library is intact, I can play any song from my Mac, it is just the sync process that does not recognize things properly. All the settings are correct (sync music tab, etc).
    I ran a RESTORE but no luck. Any suggestion? Any way to go back to firmware 2.0 and previous version of iTunes? I never had issues before upgrading both, so not sure which one is causing the problems.
    Thanks

    ran a second RESTORE, this time after doing a RESET ALL settings... it worked

  • Error message  - and iTunes will not play anything at all

    After scouring forums for similar issues, I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of iTunes with MacAfee firewall disabled. Nada. iTunes starts with an error message saying 'Configuration error, audio and video files may not play back correctly' (or similar). Library comes up and I can see my recent purchases, but nothing will play. Frustrating to say the least.
    I am Windows 7, I have McAfee and Malwarebytes running.
    What else can I try? This is extra infuriating as I have just purchased five albums of new music.

  • ITunes does not play music downloaded from match

    Hope this is the correct location for this...
    I have iTunes Match, I also have an iPhone 4.
    If i download music from Match on to the iPhone device, everything works fine on the iPhone.
    However, if i plug my iPhone into iTunes, go to device and select Music under my phone, the songs which were downloaded from Match to the device do not play. They just retuen with the
    If i play songs downloaded from Match on the iPhone itself, it works fine.
    iTunes is authroized, and signed in.
    Songs that are hard synced (synced with device plugged into iTunes and not downloaded from Match directly to the device) work fine.
    Any ideas?

    Win7 32bit & 64bit (tried on 2 seperate machines, both signed into iTunes & authorized)

    First of all make sure that you have the volume turned up with the control on the right side of the iPad. You play music in the Music App - not in iTunes. If you have the volume turned up and you are using the Music App - restart or rest the iPad and see if that helps.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • ITunes Server - iTunes does not play .m4a files

    Hello,
    when enableing iTunes server on NSS326 and connecting to it via latest iTunes, connect goes OK (The name of the server changes, but this is a known bug). The music files are displayed, but .m4a Files are not played back. .wav files are played back. .m4a files are played correct via iTunes when accessed via File System. Is there any fix for this?
    Ognian

    Found it,
    looks like iTunes is very sensitiv to the tags info inside the m4a file. Get mp3tag select all m4a files, and hit Save. That's it. mp3tag saves the tags correct.
