None of the songs will play in my library

none of the songs will play in my library, even with my ipod plugged in, an error message reads that the original file cannot be found, and then asks me if i want to locate it .... not sure what to do?

Hello chefygirl84,
It sound as though your iTunes library files have been moved or can not be located. I have included an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps to potentially resolve this:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Follow these steps if you're missing music or other media that you expected to appear in iTunes. You may notice an exclamation point to the left of items in your iTunes library, or they may not appear at all. Exclamation points appear when iTunes is unable to locate the media file or when a purchased item hasn't downloaded.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I just added a CD to my ipod and none of the songs will play.

It just skips through all of them, but it plays fine on itunes... HELP!

Does this only happen with the tracks from this new album? What format were they ripped as? MP3/AAC? You can check by right->clicking on one of those tracks in iTunes and choose Get Info. Then under the Summary tab, look at the Kind and Bitrate fields.
Also see here for more troubleshooting suggestions.

I purchased an album on iTunes. Only half of the songs will play. What can I do?

Hi crgcain,
If some of the songs on an album purchased from the iTunes Store are incomplete or won't play, you may want to try deleting them and redownloading the files. You may find the following article helpful:

How do I add the option to see the artwork (in the lower left hand corner of the sidebar) of the song currently playing in my library, like I could in previous versions of itunes?

Along with iTunes DJ & Cover Flow, that option has gone...

I just bought Apple Tv. Everything is hooked up and home sharing is turned on (imac, ipad, apple tv). When i play my itunes through my tv the song will play for apprx. 45 to 60 seconds and then cuts off and goes back to the main menu.

I just purchased Apple Tv 2. Hooked it up and everything is set on Home Sharing. When i attempt to play itunes through my tv the song will only play for approx. 45-60 seconds and then the Main Menu comes on and the song quits. Same goes for when I put my photos on.

TS3297 only part of the song will play

Only 1.5 minutes of a 7 minute downloaded song will play. How can this be fixed?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I recently updated my iTunes to the new version. For some reason the titles and details of songs on the SONGS page do not appear, although the songs will play. Has anyone else had this problem? Every other page seems to be ok.

I recently updated my iTunes to the new version. When I opened it I found that there were no details listed on the SONGS page. On all other pages the relevant pictures/details appear. Although there are no details showing on the songs page, the songs are obviously there as when you click on a line it plays the song that should be listed. Has anyone else had this problem? (I am using a Windows XP Pro system on my Laptop).

Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?

Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
doubt there's an issue there.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
(and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
Thanks....

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

I am trying to download my per purchased itunes music to my iPad mini and non of the songs will download. Any advice?

I am trying to download music onto my iPad mini, I have tried plugging it into the computer and downloading from iTunes on the iPad. No luck on either front. Any advice?

Hello Pork Chop 2,
Congratulations on your new Mac! It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them. I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.

Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

Even though I can load the Netflix website, none of the movies will play. Netflix will, however, play in Safari. What might cause this?

When I play an instant view movie, I get an all black window with no loading cues. Window doesn't change.
Mac OS 10.6.8
Firefox V 9.0.1 (currently up to date)
Safari V 5.1.2
Silverlight (latest version, recently upgraded. Main problem started after upgrade)
Prior to upgrading to the latest version of Silverlight, the show I played skipped, the video was missing and the audio played, or the video just froze. This led me to upgrading the plug-in, after which I couldn't play anything in Firefox.

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache/ Clear Cookies & Cache]
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
-> Video or audio does not play

Check and tell if its working.

Need help with iTunes - None of my songs will play.

Whenever I double click on a song in iTunes, it won't play:
The progress bar does not move and there is no sound.
I tried following the instructions in this article, however the compatability box was already unchecked.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302478
I am using Windows XP, and have restarted my computer, as well as unconnected and reconnected my iPod to my computer.

Have you tried reinstalling Quicktime?

Uploaded three cds. None of the songs will synch to my iPhone 5.

Titles are grayed out. Ready to chuck the whole thing out the window.

Yes they play fine in iTunes. I've tried deleting them and uploading them again and when I connect my phone and try to synch they are grated out and it won't work.

After updating to the latest iTunes, NONE of the movies will play on iPod

I purchased Night at the Museum Battle for the Smithsonian, and it included a digital copy, which allows for legally downloading to an iPod. I received a message that I could not put it on my iPod unless I had the latest version of iTunes.
I do not sync my iPod, I always move my files manually; I don't know if this could have anything to do with the problem. However, the movies I had on my iPod that worked previously now do not work. I can see a small graphic in the upper left corner, the title of the movie and hear the soundtrack, but that's it.

I've figured it out for myself; after upgrading, I can no longer have the TV OUT to the ON setting. I did a little hunting on the internet to get the answer.

Upgraded to 7.7 now NO songs will play

After upgrading to iTunes 7.7 I tired playing the songs in my library. The little speaker icon is showing next to the song, the play button is shown as 'pushed' to play...however the progress bar for *any song* I try to play is not progressing. NONE of my songs will play in my library, nor, after I plugged in my iPop, will any of my songs on my iPod play through the **** upgraded iTunes either.
Is anyone else having this problem?
(iTunes is loaded on work computer, window based, running windows XP)

Are you currently also getting an "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" message when you launch iTunes?
