After upgrading itunes 10.7 on windows 7, music doesnt play anymore

The length of the song is recognised but the cursor stays still and the song doesnt play, however i can scroll through the remainder of the song

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Music doesnt play but sounds still work

When I try and play music nothing plays and if I press next or back it crashes to the home screen. It also doesn't let me shuffle. It played when I used youtube and it still makes the sounds when I use anything else. Any help? Please!!

Have you tried re-starting the Touch?
Press-and-hold the sleep/wake button (on the top) until the *Power off* slider appears and turn it off. Wait for the Touch to fully power off; that is, until the small white turning thing disappears and the screen is totally dark. Then Press-and-hold the Sleep/wake button to turn it back on.
Once the iPod is back on, does it now work correctly?

My music doesnt play, my music doesnt play

bought my iphone 4 8g last month from verizon wireless and i try to play music from my phone and it i dont hear anything. i restored it thru itunes and i tried to rest it many time and i also took my phone back to verizon and they couldnt help me/ they said to take it to an apple store but all im getting is the run around. please help me. can i get a new phone replacement.

Yeah...no.... Take it to the apple store so you can actually deal with people who know what they are talking about. Never take an Apple product to a provider that just reads troubleshooting steps from a screen.

Copied audio region doesnt play!

Hi
Heres my problem that I just cant figure out why logic behaves like that...
http://argohoo.com/Kuvat/logic_comp.jpg
So, I´ve recorded normally and different takes shows up on takes list... after several takes I copy a part of audio from another location on top of those takes and thats what happens... the copied audio doesnt play, its the latest recorded audio-take that plays....

"Mute either one of them and the unmuted one will play. One Audio object ( an Audio track) can only play back 1 Audio file at once."
Yeah, of course but shouldnt Logic automatically mute all other audio files other than the latest, just like it does when you overbud, it doesnt leave previous audiofiles "active", it mutes all other besides the latest take! Why it doesnt mute older takes/files/regions when I copy audio... I guess thats not how it supposed to work!
Oh well, it may be a temp bug ´cause when I tried same thing (on same session though) on other location... [recorded several takes and then copied audio on that same location] it worked like it was supposed to, copied areas were muted on all the other regions/takes underneath it!
Or course I can adjust and mute and demute takes later but the point is that it should automatically always play the region thats on top of everything else if not adjusted/muted etc on takes!

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
In brief; backup the device, recover what you can from it, download other purchases from the iTunes Store, restore the device, add content, keep a backup of your library in future.

Music wont play on my phone it says its there but its greyed out and wont play what do i do?

Music wont play on my phone it says its there but its greyed out and wont play what do i do? Ive already re downloaded the music but its not playing on my iphone.

Ok i think i have found out how to do it. Unplug your i phone, go to settings and then reset then reset all data and settings. This will warn you that it is going to erase eveything on your phone.
DO NOT BACK UP BEFORE HAND
then restart your phone and restore back up from when you donwloaded the new IOS5. This should sort out your problem :-)

I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

Can you tell me why none of my music will play I had a little box that came up saying all your items are ticked so they will not play on itunes what does this mean it's driving me nuts help!!!

About 5 days ago for no apparent reason at all, about
7000 songs which i have collected over a number of
years has just decided that it wont play in ITUNES or
in any other of my media players. When you click on
Play over a song nothing happens. The play icon
doesnt even come up on the screen.
Steps I have taken so far are:
1 - Remove all tracks from ITUNES and then re-add the
folder where all the songs are. This has obviously
removed all songs, but when I have re-added the
folder , it has added about 650 tracks back on to the
playlist. These 650 tracks will play. This leaves
approx 6400 tracks that it wont play.
By the way all the songs on my PC are MP3 type and I
have had no problem playing any of them until last
week.
2 - I have re-installed ITUNES and reinstalled
Quicktime and that has not worked.
3 - All of my songs are backed up on to a External
Hard Drive. I have tried to restore the songs and
also play them directly from the external hard drive.
I get the same problem when I do this.
4 - I have enabled and allowed all permissions for
the account that I am running the PC from.
I am guessing there must be some settnig or Registry
Key that is blocking me playing the tracks from the
PC. I have also tried to launch the songs in Media
Player and Sonic stage but thsi has not played
either.
All the tracks are in the folder structure as they
were before so I know they are there. I just need to
somehow unlock them.......
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful as
I dont want to lose my entire music collection.
Also I cannot find anyweher on here that is a Support
number or email address for Apple as this is an
ITUNES issue and they should be resolving it for
me!!!!
Thanks

HT1414 its saying on itunes that my backup is corrupt so i went to edit preferences devices and deleted all my backups however its still saying the same

I have recently purchased a iphone 5 and i am trying to back up the phone however its saying the back up is corrupt so i went to edit preferences devices and deleted the backups however its still saying the backup is corrupt and not letting me sync my music

If you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended. Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.
You won't be able to get text messages back.

Delete the song (move it to the Trash) and download it again under iTunes Store>Quick Links>Purchased>Music>Songs>Not in My Library.

I want to play a song I bought but when I press play it says I need to authorize my PC but when I put in my Apple ID it says its already authorized. What should I do to be able to play the song?

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.
