Have you enabled Home Sharing in iTunes then done the same on AppleTv to access them using the Computers icon?

    What is your iTunes version?
    If iTunes 11, have you checked the "Up Next" list? If it is not empty, try if clearing "UP Next" will help:

  • Wont play some shared songs

    Ipad2 wont play some shared songs,   I have an album that i can play shared with all my other devices, but when i try to play this album on my ipad2 it skips over the fist 3 songs and starts playing on the 4th,
    The first 3 songs play fine everywhere else

    I am also experiencing this problem with my new iPod Touch, and I have followed the steps at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1510 to no avail. Does anyone have a recommendation that will fix this? I am beginning to believe it is a defect in the iPod software and that it needs to be addressed in a new release.

  • I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

    I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

    Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
    Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
    Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
    This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
    If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

    Layoff whatever drugs you are taking... they have seriously messed with your brain.
    No content shows in iTunes after updating
    iTunes 11.04 is most certainly compatible with iOS5 and previous versions of iTunes.

    Did I not answer your question?  You didn't ask for any troubleshooting tips.  You simply asked "Anyone have songs they bought on iTunes that won't play".  And I haven't.

  • I upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS8 Most of my iTunes songs wont play I get a red square in a circle

    I upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS8 Most of my iTunes songs wont play I get a red square in a circle on the right side. This is maddening!!

    iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
    I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
    I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
    I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
    I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
    I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.

  • Itunes won't play some of my .mp3 files or add them to its library

    I recently have had some strange issues with Itunes. On MP# files I purchased elsewhere, I would add the folder for the new artist to my library, and then voila I would have them in my Itunes library. Here lately, it would play some of the files but not all of them from a few of the artists, but not others. When I click on the song nothing happens; there's just a little gray apple up there and when you play the song in front of it and advance to the next song, it skips the one it would not play entirely. This is happening on 2 or 3 artists randomly; I know the songs used to play on there but now they won't. So, now I have uninstalled Itunes, eliminated all its directories, and reinstalled Itunes again and made my new library. Now Itunes will not even put those songs in my library so I can't even see them. In fact, for my Kings of Leon songs, it now won't add any of them to my library when before it would only add a couple after I had removed them and tried re-adding them. What is going on here? Any advice is much appreciated!!

    Those are the usual symptoms of iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. It can usually be resolved by treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator, and then adding them to your iTunes library.

  • Itunes wont play some of my songs...and it used to!

    I had to reinstall windows ... as i have done several times in the past.. and when i added my music folder, which is on an external HD, over 500 songs wont add to the library. they will play in QT and WMP but not in itunes. when clicked itunes will open but then nothing...doesnt even show the song in the list.
    Here is an example of a song that will not play, show up, or anything:
    21 guns - Greenday
    mp3 audio
    8.66 MB
    Protected - NO
    Duration - 0:06:12
    bit rate - 224kbps
    channels - 2(stereo)
    audio sample rate - 44kHz
    i thought maybe something happened to all the songs around the same date but thats a no go. i have advanced mp3 catalog pro to organize my music and it has id3 editor v.2 but i use that for ALL my music not just these songs that now wont play. i tried removing the tag completely and recreating it and that also did not work. i have unintalled all itunes, apple, and quicktime applications and reinstalled ...still nothing. what now?

    If you don't mind a little brute force, convert them to WAV and then back to MP3:
    Use a 3rd party tool such as Switch to convert them to WAV. The conversion to WAV will wipe out every peculiarity of tags, etc (WAV is essentially just pure PCM-encoded music). Put the WAV into your iTunes library, make sure it plays, and then use iTunes to convert it to MP3.

  • In my Itunes library label: My Music  albums content is missing even if I down loaded from a personal CD. I was trying to make up some playlists and the music is not there but the album title and tile is.anyone have any suggestions.

    I have a Dell Desktop Optiplex 380 with Windows 7 operating system. regarding use of I-Tunes library and making playlists from "My Music"I went to My Music clicked on the album tile to drag to the new playlist and all of the albums are empty. Like the tracks are labeled but not there There is a note to go to the store and buy each track for 0.99. These Albums have been in the system for several years. where are they, and what happens to them. Do I need to import again. which could be a pain
    Would appreciate any suggestions.

  • ITunes songs not playing complete album

    I have some albums which i have purchased on iTunes using my iPhone which do not have all of the songs for the album when viewed on my mac. E.G. I have one third of the Live Lounge Album. The other songs are there but only play the preview, however when I go to the iTunes Store it states the complete album is purchased and will not let me reinstate it. what do i do?

    Hello matthewt82,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that some of the songs in a purchased album are not playing all the way through.  To help resolve this issue I'd like you to please delete the songs from your Mac, and then download them again from your previous purchases list.
    Mac or PC
    Open iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
    Click Songs in the navigation bar.
    Click the song you want to delete.
    Press Delete on your keyboard.

  • ITunes won't play some CD's I upload

    I have an old 40GB iPod- I think it is the 4th generation (right before iPods with color screens came out). Every once in a while, I upload a CD that won't play in iTunes, and I don't know why. I have deleted the CD's from iTunes and uploaded them again, and they still won't play. I have updated my version of iTunes and done the whole process again, and it still won't work.
    I was uploading my Dropkick Murphys CD's, and found 4 of the CD's that won't work:
    Do or Die
    Live on St. Patrick's Day
    Tessie (EP)
    Singles Collection Volume 2
    All of these are uploaded from original, store-bought CD's straight to iTunes. I have not synced the iPod to my iTunes library lately, because my old computer died and I don't want to lose the several thousand songs that are on my iPod. (Why won't iPod let you download from your iPod to a new computer? Aaarrrrgh!)
    When I click on the first song on that CD in my iTunes library, the little "speaker" icon next to the track just seems to fall down the list of songs. Nothing plays, and it only takes about a second for the speaker icon to fall from one tune to the next. When it reaches the next CD, it starts playing normally again.
    I've also noticed that it shows "0:00:00" for the time remaining AND the time elapsed when iTunes tries to play the songs I'm having trouble with. The track length shows up as some ridiculous number, like "789:57:13."
    How can I fix this so that I can enjoy all of my music?

    I'm not completely sure HOW it happened, but I managed to get 90% of my songs transferred from my iPod to my computer, iTunes updated, and now ALL of that music is on my iPod again.
    Floola worked well, but it would be nice if their website had some better instructions. After getting music transferred from my iPod to Floola, I copied everything in Floola to a new folder on my computer and closed Floola. Next, I opened iTunes and the folder I had copied the music to. I minimized them so that both cold be seen on the screen at the same time.
    When I started moving music from the folder to iTunes in small batches (about 50), I could more easily identify which songs were causing the error that said some titles were too long. When I encountered that error, I moved a smaller portion of that batch of songs until I found the exact problem. I put the "problem" songs into another folder to deal with later. (It turns out that those songs were all limited to 3 or 4 albums, which I will re-load manually from the CD.)
    Once I was done copying all of the songs from the folder to iTunes, and the problem songs had been moved away to a new folder, I thought I was done. I shut down everything, and restarted my computer. I opened iTunes and the music folder again, and this time selected everything in the music folder (not just batches of 50). I dragged the entire list (5000 songs) to iTunes AGAIN, and my music library grew once more. I'm not sure why this happened since all of the music had been moved once before, but I'm glad I did it. I gained another 500 songs!
    After the last copy session from the folder to iTunes, I shut everything down once again. I started iTunes, sorted a few playlists, and plugged in my iPod. It updated perfectly.

  • My Itunes library is skipping some songs which is also affecting my ipod, it is always the same songs that skip at the same place, it is not all songs.

    Since moving my Itunes to a Vista, it found songs that I downloaded a long time ago and added them to my library but now some songs (not just the ones that were lost in apple land) are skipping after playing a few seconds then it moves onto another song.  The same songs are skipping at the same place when played on a computer and also my ipod.

    i noticed this as a bug in iTunes. make sure the correct file is selected in the preferences menus. It does not have to be the default location directiory as Vazandrew stated. your iTunes music library can be anywhere you want it. i have mine on an external cuz i'm a dj and have over 80,000 songs.
    once you select/verify the location of your music library, simply drag the folder into the left panel in iTunes from a finder window. iTunes does not automatically add the items like it use to for some reason.
