My iTunes won't play ANY audio!

I ust upgraded to 7.5--all of a sudden all the mp3s and the samples and the audio part of videos will not play! My computer still plays them in other players, so I think this is just an iTunes problem. Anyone else experience this?

Just got off the phone with applecare. I reset my PRam and all is well. iTunes works great and Quicktime too!

Itunes won't play any audio. No progress when clicking "play."

Not sure what to do. I've searched itunes and apple support, google, and now this forum for answers.
I downloaded itunes 9.1.1 last night, and that's when this started. My speakers are working, sound is on, and works in every other program.
I click "play" and the song title appears in the play box, but nothing else happens.
Video in itunes is working; I checked on that. It's just very weird.

let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes play properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Movie purchased in iTunes won't play. Audio is fine; video doesn't appear.

Yes there is.
Go to the iTunes Store on your computer. Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side. Click the "All" tab on top. The song is there. Re-download it.

ITunes won't play ANY of my music!

When I select a song and press the spacebar or click the song or whatever, iTunes won't PLAY IT. The timer comes up like it's gonna play but it never starts counting. The icon to select pause comes up instead of the icon to select play in the top left corner. EVERYTHING about iTunes is working correctly up until the second that you expect the sound to come out. You know the little speaker icon next to the song? You know how it shows little lines that represent sound coming out of it when it begins playing a song? Even THAT works. It's just that the little time keeper across the top doesn't scroll across the song! My speakers work fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. I've restarted the computer and shut it down! I checked the preferences menu. I can burn CDs still. Like I said, everything in iTunes is working fine except for the fact that the songs don't play. The files are still there. HELP! THis is driving me nuts. It wasn't working in 10.4.6 and it's still not working in 10.4.7. I've done every update...NOTHING!
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I am having the exact same problem. I have updated both the system and iTunes. I have an mBox whose driver I have reinstalled (although I knew that wouldn't really make a difference to iTunes NOT playing).
I'm stumped.
Zapped PRAM.
Repaired permissions - they didn't need it.
Help!

Itunes won't play any cd i put in the drive (macbook pro). I am running paralells with windows 7 and have disables media player so that didn't help

itunes won't recognize/play/import any cd i put in the drive. I am also running paralells with windows 7 and have disabled media player. any suggestions?

I have the same problem.
On launch itunes works fine.
If I let it play through a full album of songs unatended, when I return it respondes, but will not play music. I can browse my collection, but when i click the play button, press the space bar with a track selected or double cclick a track it will not play. A restart of iTunes solves the problem temporarily.

My itunes won't play any songs

My iTunes libraries display in their seemingly correct positions in File Explorer -- Music>iTunes>iTunes Music -- but not in iTunes -- and I consequently can't play them.
Any help on "linking" my iTunes libraries and songs to iTunes would be appreciated. I have already imported my playlists from an external hard drive, and they display with the correct names in iTunes. I'm familiar with File>Add Folder -- I just don't know whether to choose This PC>Music, This PC>Music>iTunes, or This PC>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music -- if this is what I should do to "link" my iTunes libraries and songs to iTunes.
Let me know, if possible, whether to check (1) Consolidate Files, (2) Reorganize Files, (2) Keep iTunes Media Folder organized, or (4) Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library. Thanks!
iTunes version: ll.5.5

Hi RachelHughes,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend starting with the troubleshooting steps in this article if music doesn't play in iTunes for Windows:

Downloaded some TV shows, but now iTunes won't play any of them

Okay, I downloaded a couple of episodes from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. They downloaded completely, I watched them do so, but they won't play, and whenever I try to play them, iTunes says that it has encountered a problem and needs to close. I tryed checking a few of my other TV shows, which all worked perfectly fine before, but now they won't play, and have the same response. Whenever I pull up the episodes in Quicktime, the screen either remains green and soundless, or it encounters the same problem, and shuts itself down. All my songs still play though. How do I fix this? Do I have to download the new version of iTunes before I can watch them?

i downloaded a the movie bride wars from the itunes store but when i went to watch it, it wouldn't play. now my itunes won't connect to the itunes store. what can i do. i really want to see the movie and i already paid to rent it.

Upgraded to Itunes 10.6 and eventhough my computer is authorized itunes won't play any of my purchased content

I just upgraded my Itunes to 10.6. I am running a macbook with OS 10.5.8. After upgrading I went to play some of my previously purchaed tv shows and a window came up asking my to authorize the computer to play the content which I thought was weird because the computer is already authorized. I entered my password anyway and then two windows popped up, one telling me that my computer was already authorized, and another saying my computer was NOT authorized. The controlling window seems to be the one telling me the content is not authorized, and in the window it has a button that says open Itunes to authorize, which is again weird because Itunes is already open. After clicking th open itunes windows, waiting 5 minutes a screen comes up that says itunes could not be contacted and to make sure I have itunes 4 or greater. Again I already have itunes 10.6, then I get the grey screen where the TV show won't play.
I only have three computers authorized with my account. Actually non of my purchased shows show up on my other computers, I deleted the SC folder multiple times, etc.
Anyone know anything about this?

B Noir-
Thanks for the reply. What exactly does that command exactly do? Very strange what is going on. Like I said earlier my computer is authorized yet I am still getting the screen below when I try to open a TV show I've purchased. Itunes is already open so not sure why I am being asked to open it again. When I do click on open Itunes, I get another screen that says waiting for Itunes to authorize.... I wait like 5 minutes and then it says not able to contact Itunes and to make sure I have Itunes 4 or greater.
HELP!

ITunes won't play any webradios anymore

And it even deletes the stream off the playlist when I try and listen to one.
If I use VLC or Movist, it has no problem streaming the radio ie the webradio isn't down.
Locally stored MP3s are playing fine.
Please advise, I am running OS X 10.6.3 and iTunes 9.1.1

Itunes won't play any media since upgrading to 10.6.3

I have had my laptop since christmas last year and recently had virus issues so I restored my computer from a back-up and it cleared that problem, but about a week after the restore I noticed iTunes stopped playing media, it would say it is playing but the bar on the song wouldn't move and stayed at 0:00, after that I uninstalled it and reinstalled the program to realize I still have the same issue and this happened a month or so since updating to iTunes 10.6.3. Next I noticed Windows Media Player and other programs like iMesh keep encountering errors while trying to play media files. Thinking this is related to the system/software restore, I restored the software to an even earlier date (7/22/12) and still have this issue. My speakers work fine and youtube plays perfectly as do system sounds for notifications an anything else, but what can cause only these media players to not play anything and say something is playing but the timer isn't movine? I first noticed nothing was playing when I was recording a video and I went to play it back and had no audio with and without headphones..... I hope someone has an easy fix for this, or atleast the iTunes portion of my issue....

Do you have the latest version of iTunes? A good place to post is either the iTunes forum:

Using airplay to use th internet won't play any audio, help me please!

I can play videos and songs off of iTunes, but when I access the internet from airplay the audio doesn't work at all! How would I resolve this problem please?

Have you checked the sound pane in System Preferences to make sure the program you loadedd didn't change something? Also check the audio routing in FCP to make sure it's set correctly as well.

My FCP Won't Play ANY AUDIO PLEASE HELP! I spent 20 hrs on this!!!

So I'm editing some footage from a trip a friend and I took and (stupid) downloading a piece of crap MPlayer and, before I put in the DVD mind you, save my project. That d*&% Mplayer freezes up on me and after deleting that, I find in ALL of my FCP sequences, NO AUDIO PLAYS. I'm mean nothing. I have probably spent about 20 hours editing so I'm sure you can see my frustration. Also (body after the funeral), I set my autosave on every 10 minutes and it hasn't ever worked. What sould I do? IIIII NNEEEDDD HEEEELLLPPP!!!!

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

Thank you,

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

ITunes 10.5 won't add to library OR play any audio files prior to update

I recently updated to iTunes 10.5 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8, and iTunes won't add any of my old music files to the library, regardless of what directory they are in. The permissions on all files and folders of interest are read and write. I've tried directing the library to sevral different places, deleting the library files, etc. etc. Nothing works. Not only this, but iTunes won't even open ANY of the old files when I click on them, even though they all have the iTunes icon. Additionally, when I move the files in the library but don't tell iTunes in preferences, they still play (there are two songs in the library I just downloaded from the store to figure out what's going on). Anyone have any ideas here, this is a mess. Oh, forgot to mention I reinstalled iTunes as well and that didn't resolve any issues. Have tried restarting the computer also. Thanks for any thoughts,
Brad
