Play button not working in iTunes for music

Ok, so I've got a new PC (Windows 8.1 and latest version of iTunes running) and have transferred my whole iTunes library across. Transfer (about 1 week ago) went smoothly and all media played back fine, including music.
I've opened up iTunes today and my albums wont play back using a) double clicking on the album, b) right clicking and selecting play or c) the play button once the album expands - these methods all worked just 2 days ago which was the last time I used iTunes. The tracks will play if I drag and drop the album/tracks into the play bar at the top but they don't start automatically, I have to click the play button at the top. They will also play if I select all the tracks in an album and press return.
I can add individual tracks to the current playlist and they will play when their turn comes but trying to add the whole album doesn't work, it just doesn't appear in the 'next up' list.
So it's not a matter of iTunes not locating the files, they're all in the correct file location and are matching up. Other media; TV, film & podcasts all work fine. Another oddity is that iTunes works perfectly (methods a), b) and c) above) for the other user account on the same PC i.e. non of the problems experience in my account.
Hopefully I've explained the problem ok but if not ask away. Has anybody come across this before and any solutions recommended?
Thanks

I have excatly the same issue. i have tried everything. It started when i updated to version 10 of itunes.
Sorry i cannot help. TIm

MBA 13" media buttons not working with iTunes

I just got my mba 13" and everything is great, but for some reason the media buttons do not work with itunes. I've tried them with vlc and other applications and they work fine. Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Hi,
No, it didn't work fine with VLC. Whenever I pressed "play/pause", it'll trigger iTune and the media buttons become the controller for both applications at the same time.
What the %^&*..
Cheers.
Reset PRAM.

Store buttons not working in itunes 12

I have just downloaded itunes 12 and in the store page the back/forward buttons on the masthead at the top of the page no longer work. I'm still running Lion 10.7.5. Any ideas?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Brightness and Play buttons not working on BT Keyboard

I have a Bluetooth, short aluminum kayboard. Earlier today my keyboard buttons for Brightness up, Brightness Down, Rewind, Play/Pause, Fast forward, all stopped working. My volume buttons still work though. I reset my PRAM, and made sure the F1,F2,F3, etc. box on keyboard preferences was not checked. I am running on Snow Leopard. I need help with this. Anyone have an idea on how to solve my problem?

To see if it's Hardware or Software, plug a USB KB in to test with.

My play count (& last played) does not work after itunes 11

I've read many posts claiming if you turn off crossfading that you can repair the new play couny/last playedt problem in itunes 11. That does not work for me ( I have never turned on the crossfading ever ).
Now when I listen to my audio books on a shuffle (has no screen), I can't see what chapters I have already listened to (when I plug my ipod back into my desktop).
Any other advice?

Apple needs to recognize this issues immediately, I'm a huge fan of Apple products like paulgarb said, it's a good product cause it works, every tv and mobile device in my home are linked because of homesharing, but now it does not work with no seemingly simple solution to solve the issue anywhere in site. I have always stood by Apple products and always recommend them, however I hope I did not put my foot in my mouth, my father has just spent a good amount of time scanning old family pictures and now he wishes to share them on his tv, tried multiple solutions for him with the devices he already has, none would work (ie streaming through googletv, ps3...) so I told him the simple solution is to just get an appletv for $99, he said fine get it for me for Christmas, usually I have a hard tie getting a gift for him, but now I finally have an opportunity to get him a gift I know he wants, but with homesharing issue apple has yet to acknowledge I feel appletv might be a moot point for him. Im praying that my father has not update his itunes yet. It would a great gift if apple could acknowledge the issue and fix it before the 25th.

AS3 sound pause/play buttons not working

I have three buttons:play_btn, pause_btn; and stop_btn within a movie clip labeled controller.
I can't make the play button start where the pause button is left. Everytime, the sounds starts from the beginning.
Please help!
var mySoundReq65:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sounds/pronouns.mp3");
var mySound65:Sound = new Sound();
var mySoundChannel65:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var lastPosition:uint= 0;
var isPlaying:Boolean = new Boolean();
var isPaused:Boolean= new Boolean();
mySound65.load(mySoundReq65);
controller.play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, playSound);
controller.pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, pauseSound);
controller.stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, stopSound);
// play sound
function playSound(event:MouseEvent): void{
if(!isPlaying){
mySoundChannel65 = mySound65.play();
if(isPaused) {
lastPosition=Math.floor(mySoundChannel65.position);
mySoundChannel65 = mySound65.play(lastPosition);
isPlaying=true;
// pause sound
function pauseSound(event:MouseEvent): void{
if(isPlaying)
lastPosition=Math.floor(mySoundChannel65.position);
mySoundChannel65.stop();
isPlaying=false;
isPaused=false;
else if (isPaused){
mySoundChannel65=mySound65.play();
isPlaying=true;
isPaused=false;
// stop sound
function stopSound(event:MouseEvent): void{
SoundMixer.stopAll();
lastPosition=0;
mySoundChannel65.stop();
isPlaying=false;
Thanks in advance for any help.

Kglad:
Thanks for replying again. I fixed my script and it's working fine now. The final script is as follows:
var mySound65:Sound = new Sound();
var mySoundChannel65:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var lastPosition:Number= 0;
mySound65.load(new URLRequest("sounds/pronouns.mp3"));
var isPlaying:Boolean = new Boolean();
controller.play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, playSound);
controller.pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, pauseSound);
controller.stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent. CLICK, stopSound);
// play sound
function playSound(event:MouseEvent): void{
if(!isPlaying){
mySoundChannel65 = mySound65.play();
isPlaying=true;
if(lastPosition>0) {
mySoundChannel65 = mySound65.play(lastPosition);
controller.play_btn.visible=false;
controller.pause_btn.visible=true;
// pause sound
function pauseSound(event:MouseEvent): void{
lastPosition = mySoundChannel65.position;
mySoundChannel65.stop();
controller.play_btn.visible=true;
controller.pause_btn.visible=false;
// stop sound
function stopSound(event:MouseEvent): void{
SoundMixer.stopAll();
lastPosition=0;
mySoundChannel65.stop();
isPlaying=false;
controller.play_btn.visible=true;
I added a couple of things:
a) To avoid clicking the same button more than once, I made either pause or play button invisible.
b) The solution was to include the following conditional in the play button:
if(lastPosition>0) {
mySoundChannel65 = mySound65.play(lastPosition);
Thanks again!

Keyboard back/play/forward buttons not working in iTunes 11?

Retina Macbook Pro here, 10.8.2
iTunes 11 has killed functionality of the back/play-pause/next (F7, F8, F9) keys. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Vince
Well, way back when I recall cracking the code to make these
beasties behave just like browser back and next buttons. If you are
interested, hop over to my site at
http://www.robowizard.com
and grab a copy of my Skinny on Skins file. The steps are
documented inside the file.

Back swipe and back button not working in iTunes store

I am running a 3 year old Mac mini with a Mac bluetooth mouse. I have OS 10.10.2 installed. With the latest version of iTunes 12.1.0.50 I stated having the following problem. I go into iTunes store and see the catalogue page for either movies or songs, I click on either a song or movie that I'm interested in and I get the detail page for that entry. I then either single finger back swipe on the mouse or use the back button and I return to the catalogue page, but it is blank. I have to click on the "iTunes store" button in order to get the catalogue page refreshed. I also don't seem to be able to back swipe in iPhoto to move from one picture to another, but I can swipe in Aperture. I should also note that I'm running Windows 8 under Parallels 10.1.3
How do I fix this?

Fixed. Tried a lot different things but the ones that seems to have worked is going in Preferences>Advanced and hitting the Reset cache button. Though I'm not sure it is necessary it never hurts to do a restart.

Back button not working in iTunes 11

The "Back" button in iTunes 11.1 doesn't work correctly. It doesn't go back to previous screen, but farther back, so that with each "Back" you have to navigate again to where you were.
For example, if you are viewing "See All Songs" of a particular song from a search, and thten go back, it goes back to the initial search, not the "See All Songs" view you were just on.

ITunes 6 Music Store account not working with iTunes 7 Music Store - help!

I have an account with both the apple site (for here) and for the itunes music store (and i have a current credit card on my account). when I upgraded to itunes 7, it says i do not have an account now....even tho it says to use your apple login (which i've always used to download things from itunes music store), it comes back and says i have no account....
why is this happening? is this a bug? if you have to recreate the account, shouldn't they have said something oremailed something to tell me that/????

login to apple's myinfo page and see what your actual Apple ID is. You have to enter whatever your Apple ID is into iTunes when you try to sign in.

If you can't login to myinfo, then you've got an account ID or password issue. (in which case use iforgot http://iforgot.apple.com )

Buttons not working on iTunes

There should be settings in Control Panel or the keyboard control application that determines which app responds when the controls are pressed.
The issue is not iTunes but the computer/keyboard.

Custom Exit Button not working..looks for required input field on screen?

I defined this EXIT button as type E in Menu Painter.
I am using "MODULE At EXIT-COMMAND" in my PAI.
SAP message still asks for the required input field when I select the function EXIT button?
The logic still will not break into the At EXIT-COMMAND of my PAI?
Thank-You.

Hi
Have you assigned variable OK_CODE in the list of screen element?
IF NOT zin_railid is initial.
LEAVE TO SCREEN 0100.
ENDIF.
Which is the sense to create a button for exit-command and doesn't allow the exit if the input field is empty?
In SE41 I entered "Back" over the back button, "EXIT" over the exit button, and "CANCEL" over the cancel button.
I selected each one, and got a popup to enter "E" for each type. As I said they appear, but do nothing?
Did I need to set a status for these?
No you don't, it's only important to define a functional having the attribute for EXIT-COMMAND
