My music in iTunes will not play until I restart my computer. Please help!

When I open iTunes, I cannot get songs to play. The pause/play button reads as if it is playing, but the progress bar does not move and no sound is heard. When I restart my computer, songs play as normal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Same thing happened to me...called into Apple , in order to retrive my music purchased on itunes, you have to go to the itunes store, then go to Quicklinks there you will see purchased songs, and you can redownload them to itunes..... But there is an catch ...... It is taking FOREVER  to download  all my songs (500+) back into iTunes. Other issue I got a message saying can not load all songs to libary not enough memory after having like 150 transfer... so this issue needs to be worked on

  • ITunes will not run. Several error codes. Please help

    A couple months ago I tried updating iTunes and received the error "Could not open key:
    UNKNOWN\Components\69413F169B198734FA40BC8B73511DB0\108B43C0CEA676640B35306AE7D2 4051.
    Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel." (take note my key is different than the one above thats just for an example.) So I read and read and finally figured out that my problem came down to permissions for that key. I changed the permissions and voila it installed properly! But now I just tried updating again because I want to get iOS5 on my iPhone4. I received the same error again, "Could not open key..." so I thought heck this is an easy fix and I changed the permissions again and this time it did not work. So then I uninstalled Quicktime, iTunes, and all other Apple software from my computer (which is running Windows 7 btw). I tried to reinstall iTunes and then it went through the install and finally comes to a screen that says "iTunes has successfully been installed on your computer." So I closed that window, restarted my computer, clicked on the iTunes icon and I get a completely different error now. This error is a two-part pop up. The first error window that pops up says:
    "The procedure entry point kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll."
    I click OK.
    Then I get:
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)"
    I've tried reinstalling it again and I get the same error. I tried stuff from this thread ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2262389?start=0&tstart=0 ) and it doesnt seem to be working. Can someone please help me work through this. I would appreciate it very much, and please explain everything in computer-illiterate terms as I'm not the greatest with computers these days.
    Thank you,
    Max

    OK, so iTunes opens OK in another account so it is a user specific problem.
    Just to be absolutely clear, have you carried out the all the user specific steps:
    Remobe plugins
    Remove preference files
    Recreate Library
    Check for Content files with issues.
    One of those steps usually solves user specific issues.
    Something else that you could try is to create a new iTunes library elsewhere on your disk.
    Hold down the shift key and start iTunes. Keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose or create a library. Select "Create" and create a new library somewhere way from the your music folder eg in Documents - so it is completely separate from your existing iTunes.
    Does iTunes Open like this?
    If so go do Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced and Un-check "Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library". This is to stop iTunes copying your music files when you add to you new library.
    Now try adding music from your original iTunes Music folder in stages as in the "Content files with issues" section.
    This approach has worked for someone else although they did not say if they stuck with their test library or if they ever found the problem with the original one.

  • I am running windows 7 on a 64 bit computer. Itunes will not start unless I restart my computer and then sometimes it doesn't want to start. I need some help.

    I am running itunes on a 64 bit computer with Windows 7 installed. The only way I can get itunes to open is to restart my computer. Restarting doesn't always work but that is the only option I have. I can find no problems with my system except this one. All my other programs seem to run and open OK. Any suggestions would be helpful. I am running the latest version of itunes. This issue is on my desktop. I also own an Acer Laptop that is also beginning to act up in the same way.

    Have you checked to see whether the App Store appis hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'on' ?

  • Itunes will not open until I reboot

    I'm running a Windows 7 64 bit computer. My music is installed on an external harddrive. Itunes will not open until I reboot my computer. I admit I have a large collection of music but my computer is running 8 gigs of DDR3 ram and a AMD Athlon II x4 630 processor. This should be more than enough to open my music collection. I don't seem to have any problems with any of my other programs. ANY SUGGESTIONS?????

    1. Check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    2.  Go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. Rename file "APSDaemon.exe' into "APSDaemon1.exe" from this location:
    32bit Windows  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
    64bit Windows  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
    (Take note that this is a temporary fix until Apple comes up with an update to resolve.  This will also disable the capability of WIFI SYNC)

    I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
    Videos on your phone should not do this.  Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • ITunes will not play music, songs stuck at 0:00

    I know this is a frequent question as I've spent three hours searching through the support discussions here as well as elsewhere online, but none of the possible solutions I found posted worked for me.
    The problem, if you're unfamiliar with it, is that iTunes will not play any music (either songs I've ripped or songs I've bought off of the iTunes Store).
    I've tried updating iTunes and Quicktime, uninstalling and then reinstalling both, updating my audio drivers, playing with the preferences of both iTunes and Quicktime, made both programs the defaults for all associated file types, and rebooted countless times.
    I'm on a 3-month old Dell Inspiron running Windows 7 if that makes a difference.
    Any new suggestions anyone has or something random you may have tried that solved a similar problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks! 

    I'm afraid the problem is more widespread than just iTunes and the update didn't fix it. There's a thread out there about users not getting any sound/audio in Lion after wake from sleep or just having it idle for a long while.
    Hopefully, Mac OS X 10.7.2 will fix the issue.
    Thanks!

  • Itunes will not play my music nor videos

    I recently updated to itunes about a week ago..and for some odd reason my itunes will not play any music that is located in the itunes music library.. I un-installed it, then re-installed it..and it still did not play the music.. I believe it has affected my windows media player on my computer as well. I was wondering if anyone had any information or a solution to my problem??
    thanks

    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

  • I recently upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, but now all songs purchased from iTunes will not play via my phone. Any idea how to fix this problem?

    I upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, after a few initial problems and two restores, everythings seemed to be working...until I went to play some music, all music loaded to itunes via CD's played, but ALL purchased music from itunes does not play...i click on the song and the screen flashes to the image then goes back to the list of songs, so the purchased music shows up...just does not play.  Can anyone help resolve this problem? Thanks!

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • HT5085 some of my music in itunes is not playing

    some of my music in itunes is not playing. It will play on my computer and it will play on my boyfirends phone but not mine. How do I fix?

    That's too bad.

  • ITunes will not play songs on NAS drive

    I have a WD My Cloud NAS drive with all my music.  I've been playing the music through iTunes for the last year or so on my Windows 7 Professional PC.  I just upgraded to iTunes 12.1.0.71 and now iTunes will not play any of my music.  iTunes still sees all the music on my NAS drive but clicking the play button does nothing.  Only way I can get anything to play is to import the albums/songs into my playlist in iTunes, something I really don't want to do.

    Hi Josh,
    I have exactly the same issue.  I also have many songs I purchased on iTunes that will not download.  It seems random.  I have 3 recently purchased albums that only half the tracks on one album will download, most on another, but only 2 on another.  It's annoying!  I keep tapping download and they just give up saying Cant connect to iTunes'. Even though it is. 
    Regardless, I have too exactly the symptoms you described, but had them periodically before today.  Again, not sure if its related, but have you recently got an Apple TV?

  • 10.8.5 ITUNES WILL NOT PLAY MOVIES DOWNLOADED FROM ITUNES

    Downloaded the new iTunes last night and it seems to work well with music but it will not play movies I've downloaded from the iTunes store. The sore works, Radio works, I can buy from the store but movies I have from iTunes (Star Trek, The Incredibles, ST: Into Darkeness among others) strat then crash. I get a message about an error with a plug in (FX I think) that has failed or is not found.
    Anybody else seeing this? Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Okay, I think I found my problem. I have SRS iWOw installed and the FX plugin is part of that. If I disable iWow all movies play as they are supposed to.
    Looks like I need to contact SRS for an update/upgrade or dump it and find another sound enhancer app.
    Thanks fo looking.
