No sound when I try to play iTunes

help ,baffling . the ringer or volume has vanished . my phone rings but will not play songs

I've seen this before. The iPhone seems to think it is on a dock or plugged into speakers. Try cleaning out the USB port on the bottom of the iPhone with a small needle or paper clip removing any lint or dirt. Make sure to be gentle. Then restart your iPhone by holding down the "power" button on top and the "home" button at the same time for 10 seconds.
If that doesn't fix it, try putting the iPhone on a dock or speaker system that uses the USB connector and then removing it.
If that doesn't work you could try backing up your iPhone in iTunes and then restoring it.

I get this message when I try to Play iTunes album:

I get this message when I try to Play iTunes album: Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital Booklet - Oh, What a Life.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
Do I need to set a different app to open the file? if so which one?
Thanks for reading.

Hi ihrtthecowboys,
When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, see the following article:

Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

HT4993 I cannot hear any sounds when I try to play any music, please help.

I cannot hear any sounds when I try to play any music.
I don't even get an option to increase or lower the volume when trying to play any music on my iphone 4s

I meant "Anyone know how to fix this" - sorry. BTW, have powered off and back on - no change.

My mac book pro has no sound when i try to play music in iTunes

When I try to play music in iTunes, either from my library or the iTunes store there is no sound. Anywhere else the sound is fine. This just happens in tunes. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much - that was the problem. We just got apple TV and that was device selected. Once I changed the selection to the macbook, problem solved.
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my plea for help.

When I convert my Videos to iPod there is no sound when I try to play them.

Help Please,
I have some music videos in iTunes and I have hit the advanced button and converted the selection to iPod. It converts them so that I can put them on my iPod but there is no sound at all when the video plays on my iPod. When I do this procedure to convert the video on iTunes it pops up another copy of the video on the iTunes movie section which I am assuming is the converted video. If I click on the original video on iTunes the video will play and I hear the music. If I click on the converted version that goes to my iPod I see the video but hear no sound. I hope you guys have some help for me.
Thanks in advance.

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Hello Budgets,
I would be concerned too if there was no audio coming from the speakers on my iPad. I found an article with steps to troubleshoot audio issue. The title of the article says iPhone, but most of the steps are still relevant to the iPad. You can skip any steps that apply only to the iPhone:

HT1399 I have a windows pc. It has windows 8 installed and I've installed the newest version of itunes but when I try to play anything, it won't. There's no sound and it says it's playing but it does not. What can I do?

I have a windows 8 computer and I installed the newest version of itunes because I used to have an ipod and I have a few purchases that I wanted to listen to. When I try to play them it says it's playing but I can't hear anything. It does not even says it's played the whole way. It just stays at the beginning. It won't let me pause. I checked my computer sound and there is nothing wrong with it. So there must be some software problem but idk what it is. If anyone can help I would appreciated. Thank-you

Hi DJBentley2011,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue burning CD's in iTunes. Is the playback issue only occurring on a specific device and does the disc show up correctly in iTunes? The article linked below should help you resolve optical drive issues, it walks you through identifying potential issues and provides troubleshooting suggestions.

help please!

Are you going to Movies - Purchased or Computers - Movies ?
If you go to iTunes Store on your computer - Quicklinks - Purchased. Is it showing up there?
Is this a purchase or a rental?

music and video has their own volume slider it's displayed in the player itself lowing the normal phone volume does not affect the media volume

I recently updated to the latest version of Itunes (11.1) and when i try to play music or tv shows, the sound lasts only for a second before going completely mute, anyone know how to fix this?

Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

Following some suggestion i seem to have found a solution for the problem and my play/pause, next and previous buttons work with iTunes 10.4.1
- You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
- Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
- Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
- Save the file
- Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me)

When I try to play an album from my library, the first song will play but then it will jump to another album. iTunes is also splitting up my albums in a strange way. any help?

I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.
