No sound with itunes? why?

i have no sound with itunes but other programs i do have sound. why and how do i fix it???

hi nike!
here's the catch.
This is on my work station that has windows 2003 installed.
I am running i-tunes 6.0.4.2
the first thing i usually try on a "no sound" with 6.0.4.2 is a careful standalone QT reinstall.
but there's a new issue afoot where people with x64 versions of Windows (XP or Server) who have Windows Update KB908531 installed can't do a QT 7.1 or 7.0.4 reinstall without erroring out with an 0x80040707.
here's a Server thread:

... and here's an XP thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=2353161
so what i don't want to do is to take you from a "no sound in itunes" to a "no functional QT or itunes on the PC".
so, before we proceed, could you check for me if you've got an x64 version of Server, or a more standard one?
i'm not precisely sure how you go about checking on that one. so if you can't tell from this technique:
How to find which version of Windows is installed on your Windows PC
... can you check in with your IT people about what version is running on your workstation?
love, b

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

This is a new notification coming up with iTunes, why and how do I fix it? The song "Penny Lane" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

Hey xxCreepyFiaxx,
First, I would try the following suggested steps for when you don't see content in iTunes after updating:
Quit iTunes.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
Rename this file to iTunes Library.
Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'd go through the steps in here:

Hello folks
I had the same problem today: Apple TV is blinking light and requesting to connect cable with Itunes (Itunes Logo appears)
I solved the problem according Alley_Cat mentioned and described in link bellow:
In my case, I restored factoring setting using a Micro USB Cable connected in Itunes
Follow the steps carefully described in link bellow
Good luck.

No sound with iTunes 7

I, too, have NO sound at all now after upgrading to iTunes 7. Not just in iTunes - I can't listen to anything on my computer. From websites, CDs, nothing.
What happened? Is there some setting that I have to change?

there is, for before there was this problem too, and i fixed it somehow, but i can't do it again, so now only some of my speakers work, but i will tell you that changing any other seting besides itunes won't help.
So maybe try to fiddle with itunes settings but thats all i can do, im still tring to figure out how to fix it.

No sound with iTunes HD TV Show with Dolby surround

I bought my first HD Tv Show in the iTunes store. 24 season 7 episode 1 if it matters. When I play the show in iTunes and select the Dolby track, I get no sound at all. If I select the stereo track, I get stereo sound. But that's obviously not what I want.
My setup: a MacMini with the optical-out connection to a home theater amp.
If I listen to a .avi file with AC3 audio in QuickTime or FrontRow, with the help of the Perian plugin, it works fine with the Dolby surround sound. So it's an issue specific to iTunes HD content.
I tried uninstalling this Perian plugin, I played with the settings in the "Audio Midi setup", nothing helps, I still get no sound with the iTunes TV show.
Is there something wrong on my computer or it is a known issue?

I've got the same issue. DVD Player and Perian/VLC are able to output 5.1 over an optical cord to my receiver for DVDs and other files, but not for iTunes HD downloads (neither iTunes nor QuickTime can do this, even with Perian.)

Sound with Itunes 7

When I have other things open or with a java chat, sound gets garbbled on itunes 7, never did it with itunes 6.

It worked for me.

HT5622 My IPhone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with iTunes- why???

My iPhone will no longer back up to my computer automaticall when I sync with iTunes- why

Probably because you have elected to automatically back up to iCloud instead. You can still manually back up by clicking Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, it just won't be automatic.

MY IPHONE 5 WILL NOT SYNC WITH ITUNES WHY

Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

For all those with no sound with ITunes 7.0

I'm just going to post what happened to me. After installing iTunes 7, I could not play any music...the progress bar would sit there, and eventually I would hear a weird sound coming from the speakers.
I opened up the QuickTime control panel, and went to the Audio tab. I set the rate to 192 Khz (from 44.1) and left Size=16. After applying, I could play all of my music.
Don't ask me why. I just hope it works for others.

I have a WinXP PC and a Linksys G class router. I am on Comcast broadband cable. Both ATV and PC are on wireless link. And I have tried a borrowed Apple Airport router (G class). That didn't help resolve this problem so far. I don't think it is a router issue as you will see that many folks on this forum have the same problem with a wide mix of environments. Many of them are on pure Apple components and so one cannot blame Microsoft and non-Apple devices.
Having said this, I hope the new router resolves your issues. In my case, the only option left is to keep calling Apple Care.

No sound with iTunes 12.1

I installed iTunes 12.1 and it shows the song playing however there is no sound. I have an iMac with Yosemite 10.10. I tried to reinstall it but that made no difference. I am a novice when it comes to computers. Any suggestions?

I had this issue. My desktop's sound was working, and I could hear videos I played on it. But not iTunes. And the volume measure on iTunes was not down and "off" but right in the middle. So why no sound?
There is the little "display" symbol in iTunes. It's important to click on the one in iTunes, as I kept clicking on the one on the main menu at the top right corner of my computer and that wasn't helpful.
When I finally clicked on the one in iTunes it let me know that the sound was on "single" and supposed to be coming through exterior speakers only. These, clearly, weren't on as I was getting nothing out of them. I changed over to "multiple," and was offered choices of where the sound should issue. One was "computer." I and ticked that off and set the volume. And that's how I got my sound back on iTunes through my computer.

Black screen and no sound with iTunes rentals.

I was going to chalk this up to just a corrupt download, but it's happening too much for mere coincidence now. I rented Captain America: The First Avenger in HD on my Windows 7 machine, only to find that when I tried to play it, I got nothing more than a black screen with no sound. I chalked it up to bad luck and went back to my day, only a few days later, I tried again, only to find the exact same problem had occurred with the exact same movie. I called Apple Support and told them of the problem, and while they refunded my purchases (and gave me 3 free movie rentals), they proposed no solution.
So I tried renting Iron Man 3 today, and the same thing happened. This doesn't occur with any other movies that I own trying to play in iTunes, just with rentals. I've already tried a reinstall, which did nothing, and I'm out of ideas.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
Great to have the Video back

Crackling Sound with Itunes

After giving up with pci-e extreme audio because of latency issues, I bought the pci-e fatalty pro pci-e. One of the problem is, there is a crackling issue when i stop and play another playlist in Itunes. You can fix it by changing modes.(i.e from entertainment mode to audio creation mode) but then again after you change playlists, it does it again.

I am unsure if this will help you or not. Itunes has an add-in setting which in my opinion only, may be similar to our using CMSS3d with our cards, etc.
Disable the Sound Enhancer feature in iTunes:
1. Open iTunes.
2. One the Edit menu, click Preferences.
3. Click the Playback tab.
4. Deselect Sound Enhancer.
and now see if you get the same crackles pops or sound playback problems. I disabled that setting on mine from the beginning, but hopefully you can toggle that setting and see if that helps you.

No speaker sound with itunes and media

The speakers on iphone 4S work fine for all activities with the exception of itunes and video. Speaker phone works; notification works; ringer works. Everything works fine with the earplugs and bluetooth and volume can be adjusted. Speaker works just fine with calls, recordings etc. Just not with music and video apps. Any thoughts?

All my playlists have gone inc. the ones that come with itunes - why???

I opened itunes today and for no apparent reason all my playlists have disappeared - even the recently played, recently added etc. The only one it didnt delete was Party shuffle. I don't know how to get them back and I really want them!! It's taken me ages to build up my playlists and I cant understand why they have suddenly disappeared. It didnt go wrong due to a recent upgrade or me fiddling around - they were literally there one day and gone the next. I still have all my music tho. Is there any way to get them back?? I particularly miss my recently played list! Also I dont want to attach my ipod in case it get rid of the playlists that are on there too. Help!

Well, I sure can't answer the why, but I've been there too!
I found software called Senuti that will copy a playlist from an iPod back into iTunes, without copying all the music files back in if they're already there. It sure felt like a lifesaver to me!
Just make sure you have iTunes set to manually manage your music so it won't update the iPod automatically.
Good luck!
