No Sound Playing Music since last 12.1.0.71 update Win8.1 64bit

Since the last update last week to 12.1.0.71 (Win 8.1 64bit) I am able to play content within iTunes program, but unable to get any sound from it. This is the same when I playback my music, or videos in iTunes. Worked fine before the upgrade.
Sound works OK with other programs, and even Windows system sounds work fine. Just does not work when playing content within iTunes application.
Tried making sound changes in iTunes and Sound control panel to no avail.
Is there a bug in the iTunes 12.1 update ?

There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.

What update are you referring to? If you do a search for "Kodak" in the iPhoto community you'll find numerous posts regarding problems with Kodak cameras.
So far there's no known fix. The best workaround is to use a card reader with the memory card of the camera.

Static when playing music via USB in car stereo after updating to OS4.1

Greetings everyone.
After updating my iPod Touch (3rd Gen) to OS4.1 I am experiencing static, scratching like or popping sounds when I am playing music in my car using the USB port. I do not get these noises when I am listening with a set of earbuds, only when in the car and connected via USB. I haven't yet tried bluetooth connection but will give it a shot tomorrow. Has anyone else experienced this?
If any one from Apple is following this thread please give me some advice how to correct this problem. I suppose if I have too and bluetooth connection gives me the same trouble I will need to restore my iPod. Is it possible to go back in OS? I was using OS 4.0.2 prior without any problems.
Thanks
Dave

Dave this is what i went thru this past week with Apple Tech
Ipod problem
Aug 19 2010 Purchased New IPOD McDill AFB
Sep 15th 2010 Upgraded IPOD software from 3.1.3 to 4.1
On Sep 16 2010,
I notice that I tunes was skipping in my car using the USB connector. When I use the Audio output jack on the IPod the ITunes music did not skip. I hooked up a NANO to the USB connector in my car and the music played good no skips.
Sep 17 2010
I notified Apple Care and told them of the problem and they concluded it was an IPOD Problem. They issued a repair number (177988440) and notified Apple Distributer in Brandon, FL ( 50 miles from my home) to allow me to exchange the
IPOD for a newer one Ser# 9E0344816K2.
When I connected the new IPod to My Mac I was prompted to upgrade the IPOD software from 3.1.3 to 4.1. However, before I upgraded I notified the Apple Technician (Ms. Daylin Dat # 877-416-4271 Ex 2845) of the replacement and I asked if it was feasible to upgrade the IPOD to 4.1 since I believed the new up grade caused the problem.
Daylin, said to go ahead and up grade the IPOD to the 4.1 version.
When I completed the up grade I connected the IPOD to my car’s USB connection and the same problem occurred in the new IPOD.
I took the new IPOD to Gettle Toyotta in Bradenton and asked if I could use one of their cars that has a USB connection and test out my IPOD and sure enough I had the same problem with the ITunes music (It was skipping).
I notified Apple Technician again and they said go back up to the Brandon Apple distributor and get a replacement for this IPOD. I said no because it was a 100 mile round trip so they said were going to mail me a replacement.
I returned the IPOD to Apple they did all kinds of in house test and said there was no problem wit it so they sent it back to me. So now i'm stuck with a IPOD that i cannot use with the USB connection in my auto
Note I went on Toyota Prius forum site and there was a lot of discussion with the IPOD 3rd generation with IOS 4.1
A lot of people are have this problem
I notified Apple Tech and sent them a link to the Prius Form site.
So that where it stands right now.
By the way I hooked up the IPOD to a brand new Honda USB port and it worked great so the issue is with the IPOD IOS 4.1 and Toyota autos.

I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room, when i recently updated my new iPhone it has backed up to my old iPhone and I have therefore lost pictures, messages etc from my new phone how can I get it all back?

I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room. I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone, I have therefore lost pictures, messages and apps from my new iPhone as it has backed up to the last session of the old phone, how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?

No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

Itunes 11.1.3 goes unresponsive when but continues playing music since update

After updating to iTunes 11.1.3 the player continues to go unresponsive. Music and app itself continues to update and move like it is working, however none of the buttons function and itunes cannot be closed without force closing it. This is new since the recent update. On many occasions clicking anywhere no the app creates the system error sounds, and presents the spining rainbow wheel. I am running the newest version of OSX 10.9 and it is completely up to date, on a macbook pro 13inch early 2011. Any idea why this is occuring?

Team,
Can someone help here ?
Thanks,

HT204291 why is there no sound playing music or videos on apple tv

I have no sound from my apple tv for music or videos....

Welcome to the Apple Community Jweaz.
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
If you are using a sound system/receiver, make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

Can't play music since I moved it to another directory

Is there a possibility to let Itunes search for all the right directories for all my music at once, or do I really have to search it manually for each song? Since I moved my music to another directory, Itunes isn't able to detect it anymore.

No iTunes does not automatically search for missing tracks.
The simplest way out of this is to start a new library, but this will loose all your counts rating and playlists.
To do this, close iTunes and drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to the desktop.
Open iTunes and and empty library is created. Set the location of your iTunes Music folder if you need to (preferences>>Advanced tab) then add you new music folder with File>>Add folder to library.
If you really care about your meta data there is another way which is more complicated and involves editing the xml file to correct the paths. I can explain how to do that if you want. It only works if you moved the entire iTunes Music folder intact so all the subfolders remain the same.
PS there is another alternative, if you can put everything back how it was before you moved the music folder.

Problem playing game since last update

Right after the last software update from Apple, I stopped being able to open Myst V. The game won't start at all. It took a long time to get the game installed on an intel Mac in the first place, because the Ubisoft patch has a bug and the directions for fixing it by hand were not easy to find. So I'm frustrated that now it stopped working again! I tried reinstalling the game (with the repaired patch), with no luck. Is anyone else having this problem? Any tips?

For starters, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
Then Repair Permissions.

Cannot play music since installing iLife 08 and OS 10.5

I have just installed iLife 08 and OS 10.5.1 and I now cannot list to my music on iTunes or update my iPod.I get a message indicating that the song could not be used as the original file could not be found.
I backed up iTunes before installing new software. Should I re-install from the backup or is there another fix for this problem? Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I believe that's an indication of a permissions issue. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the option to repair permissions.
If that doesn't fix it download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner section and the current group in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

My 4th gen. ipod will not keep a charge, wont play music and keeps freezing-did full restore/updates already - please help!!

The ipod will charge and allow me to access it/touch screen still works. When you click on an ap it is very delayed accessing. Sometimes music takes a while to show up, other times it freezes altogether.
Started a few weeks ago after it sat in a hot vehicle (not in use) for a few hours and hasnt worked since!

If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you very likely have a hardware problem. Excessive heat will permenently degrade the batter. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Itunes will only sync a portion of my music since i have installed the newest update. It keeps telling me it can not sync my Ipod due to a duplicate file name. Any suggestions?

I am trying to get some advice as to why my Ipod will not completely sync since I updated Itunes. Itunes keeps telling me it can not sync my Ipod due to a duplicate file name? It will sync some of my songs but not all of them. Any thoughts?

Most likely the iPod filesystem is corrupted, during a partial sync, that freeze due to a timeout.
In My Computer, select the iPod, right click Properties->Tools->Check Now
tick both Fix filesystem and scan.for bad sectors.
This will fix the duplicate name error.
Good Luck!

HT4623 My sounds for such things as Netfix, or ABC Shows, etc does not work since last update. How do I fix that?

Sound not working since last upgrade. Get no sound with Netflix or ABC, NBC,etc. worked fine before last update.
How
do I fix this?

Hey Janetna5,
Thanks for the question. Does restarting your iPad help the issue?
Restarting your iOS device
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
via iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If not, is it possible that your side switch is toggled to mute sounds? See this resource for information:
Volume buttons and the Side Switch - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9940e758
Mute notifications, alerts, and sound effects. Slide the Side Switch toward the Volume buttons.
The Side Switch doesn’t mute the audio from music, podcasts, movies, and TV shows.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I have no sound when typing or playing music?

My 4s makes no noise when I type, slide open the lock screen, or try to play music through Pandora. I have tried updating the software, rebooting several times, turn phone of/on several times. Any ideas.

This is silly, but have you checked the volume control?
