Not playing correctly in itunes

hi, I'm having some trouble with itunes that has only started today. I try to play songs and upon double clicking they do not begin to play, even when clicking the play button at the top still no reaction. All of these songs now appear to have "album artwork non modifyable" in the box to the side, even though last night all artworks were correct. There are a few songs that begin to play, about 50 out of 5000 but these ones just jump the whole way through, to the point where they are indistinguisable. Adding new songs to the libary only gives the same response. Nothing has been installed, and ive tried reinstalling itunes aswel as making sure i have the correct software such as direct X. Any ideas would be appreciated.

This has happened several times to me since I originally posted. I found it happens when I add more music to a playlist that I already have on my iPad.  Below is a fix. 
1. Turn off itunes match on your device.  This step is important.
2. Delete all of the music on your device.  General / Usage / Music
3. Restart your device.
4. Turn iTunes Match on
5. Download the playlist you want.
I hope Apple fixes this soon.  This fix is not ideal and takes a good bit of time, but it works for now.

  • Kid A not playing correctly through iTunes

    I recently ripped the album Kid A by radiohead into iTunes using the .m4a apple lossless file format. However, iTunes does not play the songs correctly. There is a distinct distortion present when playing the songs through iTunes. Using other applications, such as VLC or Safari to play the songs, they work correctly. Is there a fix for this?
    Other information: I have a Mid 2012 Retina Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) and am using iTunes version 11.0.4

    Hello CTRiley,
    I would recommend testing iTunes for 3rd party plugins that may be affecting the playback of these imported songs. Check out this article to help accomplish that.

  • Why videos do not play correctly in itunes.  They stop and go

    I moved a library to ituenes from another ancient computer which has a centrino duo and the new computer is an i3.  The videos stop and go when played from within itunes.  Outside Itunes with VLC or Quicktime player, they play fine.
    How can I fix this.

  • Why are certain sound files not playing correctly in iTunes?

    I have had iTunes for years and have never had prolonged or unsolvable problems with anything playback related until now. I recently acquired some music, and it plays perfectly when I use WMP. When I added it my iTunes library, however, the audio is compressed during playback and there is a lot of skipping and blips going on in every song. It still plays perfectly in WMP, but not matter what I do the same thing happens in iTunes.
    For reference, here is what the original audio songs like

    And here is what it sounds like in iTunes

    I have a similar problem. When I try to play TV episodes that were downloaded (in .m4v format) using iTunes, QuickTime (7.0.4) will play video without audio, and when I press "stop", QuickTime locks up!
    My system used to play these files PERFECTLY, until I downloaded some shareware video format conversion programs (that didn't work, anyway). I believe one of them installed a shared DLL or CODEC or something that is conflicting with QuickTime. I'VE UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED QUICKTIME AND ITUNES COUNTLESS TIMES, trying to follow different people's advice, mostly from posts on this site, but nothing helps!!
    The thing we have in common is that it sounds like you also have other video software that could have conflicting CODECs or shared DLLs. DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO TRACK THIS PROBLEM DOWN??
    And why doesn't Apple make a CLEAN uninstaller and a COMPLETE installer? People shouldn't have to do the manual registry editing and file deletions that other people are recommending!!!!!

  • Movie not playing correctly in itunes

    Trying to play purchased movie from Itunes.  After about 10 minutes of play the display on laptaop begins to flash like a strob light unable to watch movie.  This is only happening in Itunes with purchased movies.  Apple support says may be a microsoft problem or graphic software.  Playing movies on Windows 8 laptop with HD display that is current with  all updates.  Any suggestions anyone.

    Try emptying the Safari cache. Command + Option + E. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, might be an incompatible extension.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Some of my songs on itunes are not playing correctly...

    i moved all my music files to my external hardrive, and they were working just fine. but for the last month, some random songs are not playing correctly!! they sound like how a scratched cd sounds (skipping, etc..., and then it just stops and it skips to the next song). the songs were playing perfectly before, it was all of a sudden, and not all, just some of them.)Also, the same songs that are not playing can not be transfered to my ipod... (tear)
    PLEASE HELP!

    Well, several people have now replied to this post, but if you mean Apple, the answer is "no". This is a user support forum, and Apple do not provide product support through it.
    If you want to report a problem with something you have purchased, open the iTunes Store and login to your account. On the home page at the very bottom of the screen, you will see a link that says "Purchase History". Click this, and click the "Report a Problem" button and follow the instructions.

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

    Ive got youtube videos converted to mp3 files on my itunes, they used to play fine but since the recent update they do not play correctly. how can i fix this?

    Try running these songs through MP3 Validator to see if there any issues.
    If nothing else, convert them to another format such as AAC via iTunes using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • What is the "Download All" button at the bottom of my playlist and why when I select it songs begin downloading and take up my storage space? If I don't download them the songs will not play correctly....

    I have activated iTunes match and iCloud, now when I go to my Music app and choose me 'best' playlist, I see a button at the bottom of the list that says download all.  If I choose this option every song in that playlist begins downloading (near 1,000), this is taking up memory on my phone instead of using the cloud.  If i DO NOT download all of the songs they do not play correctly (skipping certain songs, not playing all the way through, etc.)  What's this all about and what can I do about it?  Why are my songs not just playing through iCloud? I thought that was the point.....

    To be honest, you shouldn't need a great 3G service for it to be able to keep up with a song, but if it's a very weak signal then it could be the problem.
    Unless you have unlimited 3G then I would recommend using wi-fi anyway, as you could easily run into monthly limits otherwise.
    Do you think that it works better with wi-fi than 3G, or just the same? If it is the same then I would have to question whether this is actually your problem.
    As to whether you should download songs beforehand, I would say that as a temporary measure it probably makes sense if it's possible as it will download them anyway and that way you get to listen to the music properly. However it does mean that you have to start downloading before you start listening which may be annoying.
    I'd be interested to hear whether the performance is better with wi-fi than 3g though. It could be that I'm barking up the wrong tree.

    To whom it may concern, This morning I purchased an album, on listening to it three of the tracks are not playing correctly. I read on an apple discussion board that I should delete them and re-download them. This did not work as I was asked to pay for them, and one of the tracks was an album only track.

  • The music is not played correctly on my iphone (on Laptop it's ok)

    Hi all
    I loaded some songs from my laptop to the iphone4 (on the laptops the files are ok) but when I played on the iphone ....The music is not played correctly - I get some cuts and it's jumping from one song to another. A total reboot or update to the latest OS did not bring any change.
    Thanks

    I too have this problem which seems to be replicated several times in discussion groups.  I've swictched off iTunes Match, backup up and restored my iPhone and nothing helps. I'll try other discussion threads but if anyone has a solution, PLEASE post!

  • Musik with Dialog not playing correctly

    Hi there.
    Music with spoken texts is not played correctly on my T410i with Windows 8 pro installed.
    For example, the soundtrack to Kill Bill1
    Track 5: Queen of the Crime Council - dialogue excerpt from film
    Track 6: "Ode To Oren Ishii" - The RZA
    The problem occurs in all music players (iTunes, Windows Media Player, the Windows8 App "Music" also flash based player of Sky.fm have this problem (e.g. http://www.sky.fm/play/altrock) .
    Hardware: Lenovo T410i with Nvidia / Intel graphic card combination.
    What I've done so far:
    * reinstalled Drivers (Conexant 20585 SmartAudio HD).
    * reinstalled Codec pack (Klite Codec Pack (32-bit and 64-bit)
    * turned off the advanced features (bass management, Virtual Surround, ...) in the options of the speakers
    * switched off the detection of communication activities.
    * Speaker Setting is "Stereo" (two Speakers)
    I have no idea why this happens, as soon as there is a spoken text in the music, it starts sounding bad with echo, cracking noise and the spoken texts are very very silent.
    I don’t know how to fix this.

    I am having the same problem with my Jam Pack loops. I bought the jam packs a few years ago and have been using them fine with my iBook. I put them on an external drive (trying to keep the iMac HD empty) and dropped the folder on my loops browser. They've worked fine with my iBook for years. I just got a new iMac and, again, dropped the folder on my loops browser. They play fine in the browser, but when I drop them in the timeline I only hear a faint beat.
    Any suggestions?

  • Playlist not playing correctly since updating

    Playlist is not playing correctly. Anyone else have this problem and fixed it? 80 gig old black Ipod 5th generation. Since updating Itunes, play the first song, then will jump around to different songs not in playlist....

    You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
    *http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
    You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
    *[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    You can check for problems with preferences.
    You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • I tunes update 10.5 and music files not playing correctly

    After I updated iTunes to 10.5, a vast majority of my music files do not play correctly. When they do play, they sound as if they have been super compressed and I cannot figure out why. I have un installed/re installed, checked all of my drivers and even scanned my library for viruses. Is there anyone who may have any info that may help fix this problem? I would be eternally grateful.

    I have just downloaded a free program called burn and it burns music perfectly and yet itunes still wont work and comes up with the same error report as above so i do hope this helps apple to fix the bugs in there latest 10.5 itunes update.
