My new MacBook will not play TV shows, or connect audio with slideshows

I just bought a black 2 gigHZ MacBook and when starting it up used a firewire to transfer everything from my Intel iMac, as prompted. Seemed to work fine, except: the TV shows in iTunes will not play in Front Row on my MacBook. And in iTunes they will play as video only: no sound.
Also, I tried to make a slideshow in iPhoto, but I cannot attach a soundtrack from my iTunes plibrary: again, no audio, though the slides play.
Odd thing is: I can play commercial DVDs in Front Row. No problem. Likewise with iTunes music library. The ptoblem seems limited to TV shows I have downloaded from iTunes music store, and to the slide show/no audio issues.

hello,
did you try to authorize you Macbook with your itunes login and password ??
this must be done manually and is not transferred automatically with other datas as you can authorize up to 5 computers !
if you didn't already do this, give it a try !

  • Why will iTunes 10.5.1 will not play TV Shows

    Last weeks as well as earlier TV Shows still play normally, yet the latest TV Show I purchased yesterday (Pan Am) will not play and I get a message stating: This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes. Why is this, it was the latest TV show released last week, purchased on iTunes and will not run on an iMac.
    What is the reason for this and how do I fix it?
    Thank you

    I have the same problem since update of itunes to version 10.5.1.
    Downloaded movies after the update couldn't be started in itunes.
    Only the same message "...requires QuickTime...." will be shown.
    The movies are new one (Transformer 3,....)
    Open itunes in 32-Bit mode, start movie, stop itunes and start itunes again in 64-Bit mode fix it.
    Then the movie shows its cover and can be started as usually - as it was bevor the itunes update.
    In my case, no hardware and software changes have been made during this time.
    Maybe, the Problem is in the first recognition of itunes in 64-Bit mode. All old movies run as usual.

  • TS1424 When I click to play my songs in the library they will not play and show a circle with an exclamation point in the middle of it, what does that mean and how can I get them to play?

    When I click to pay my songs in the library they will not play and it shows a circle with an exclamation point within it. What does that mean, how do I fix it, and how will it play my songs again? They used to play before on my Iphone4 with no problem, but since I upgraded to the Iphone4s there is an issue.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • New iMac will not play Adobe. APPLE directed me to you to solve the issue. Please assist.

    Please assist. My new iMac with latest operating platform by APPLE will not play Adobe on Safari. ESPN.com, as example, has articles that have videos attached. The error message pops up that I must upload / update ADOBE. I do that, but it does not resolve the issue. APPLE believes that the program should be deleted, removed from the Mac, and then re-uploaded via Adobe Technical Support. Can you assist? Thanks. Bob

    Hi novibob,
    Are you referring to Adobe Flash Player here.

  • HT1414 upon updating to ios 7.0.2 all my gopro black hd videos will not play they show as gray in colour. Are these files still there and can they be restored they ran perfectly until the update

    upon updating my ipad to ios7.0.2 all of the go pro black videos show as gray and when you click on them they come up first frame but will not play. can they be restored or are they lost. they played perfectly in both i movie and camera role before upgrade.

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

  • Powerbook Would Connect To Internet, New Macbook Will Not Using Airport....

    I purchased a new macbook yesterday and i am having problems connecting to the internet using airport and my belkin wireless router. Whenever i try and connect to the router I get a message saying it is not possible.
    My old Powerbook G4 still connects using the same router and airport but the new macbook will only connect via an ethernet cable, I have tried ringing belkin support who do not seem able to help me.
    Does anyone have any ideas to help me please?
    Thanks in advance for your help........

    I had the exact same problem yesterday, and I called Apple support. I had to download a software update (security and OS), and after that, it worked. Some people have suggested trying putting a $ sign before the Belkin password. It didn't work for me, but it might be worth a try. My macbook arrived yesterday and I've had problems with this and the keychain thing (I'm totally new to the Mac), and am still having problems with that. So I'll probably be calling support again today unless I can find a solution to that problem here on the forum.
    Good luck with yours, I hope you get it fixed

  • My MacBook will not play videos. No sound and the video stops after a few seconds.

    My Mac book pro will not play videos. No sound and the video stops after a few seconds.

    Hello GrahamBIOM,
    I understand while viewing a video or listening to some different content, you lose audio, is that correct? I will do all I can to assist you with this issue.
    Does the issue occur when you have headphones inserted? If you are not sure, if you have a set of headphones available could you test that please?
    Please respond back at your earliest convenience with results.
    Thanks

  • Some Songs and Videos on New Itouch Will Not Play

    Itouch 3g, 64g, firmware 3.1.2; running Win XP, Itunes v9.0.25; only one computer and one account. All songs and videos purchased from Itunes. Upgraded from an Ipod Classic to the Itouch.
    Some songs and all videos will not play on the Itouch (they all work in Itunes and on the Ipod Classic). On the Itouch, hitting play on the songs just toggles between the play icon and the pause icon with nothing happening with the song; other songs work as advertised. Hitting play on the videos results in the message "This movie could not be played."
    I have searched the posts and faqs and tried the solutions suggested in the apple support faq: tried resetting, deauthorizing/authorizing, etc. Nothing solves the problem.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!
    --Steve

    I went back and made a list of all the songs that would not play on the PC and Ipod Classic but not the iTouch. I then turned on the "Kind" column in iTunes to compare the list. It appears the songs listed as "Protected AAC" are the ones that are not playing on the iTouch. All songs that are "Purchased AAC" seem to be the ones that work.
    All of the videos are "Protected MPEG-4 video file(s)" and none work on the iTouch.
    As noted earlier, all songs and videos work on the PC and the Ipod Classic.
    Is this a DRM issue? If so, is there a legitimate fix available?

  • My iTunes library on my new Macbook will not sync to iPhone 5

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and spent a lot of time organizing my music into new playlists, deleting old music, etc.  When I plugged in my iPhone 5 to update it with the new library, the new playlists I had just created disappeared and it wouldn't sync to the new library.  This was very frustrating to me.  I then did a sort of "test run" with my much older iPod and it seemed to sync fine.  I don't know what to do.  I've tried checking and unchecking the Sync Music box, restarting both my computer and iPhone, and I even restored my iPhone to factory settings.
    It often stops at the "waiting for changes to be applied" stage, or, sometimes, it will sync just some of my music.
    I've about had it.  All I want is for what is exactly in my iTunes library to sync to my iPhone and I can't figure out what is going on.
    Please help!!

    Maybe:
    "Waiting for changes to be applied": Apple Support Communities
    Next try restoring the iPod and resyncing

  • MacBook will not play sound

    The inbuilt speaker of my white MacBook is not shown in the "device for sound output". Also, the volume bar is grayed out and not selectable. How do I select the internal speakers and get the system to recognize the volume bar? Thank you.

    Go step by step and test.
    1.Plug in and  remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
        Try this even if you don’t see the red light.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
        Do this twice
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.

  • TS2972 I can see the song titles in itunes shared library on my new imac  but songs will not play. I have a pc with wifi network that the main music library is on. tried saving songs from pc to an external drive then to new mac but thats not working eithe

    attempted to transfer itunes music from pc to new imac. didn't work. apple suggest using sharing method. main library of music is on pc. did those steps and shared library shows up on mac but when you click on the song to play it doesn't play or maybe ther is no content? any suggestions?

    Hi there,
    It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.
