Podcasts won't play in iTunes or in iPad/iPhone

Hey so I'm having a lot of trouble getting some of my Podcasts to play,
My university records and saves lectures online through echo360 and last semester I was able to set them all up as podcasts so they'd come to my ipad/iphone and laptop! I tried to set it up to do it today and it wouldn't work. After hours of extensively looking through forums/discussions on here, I found this one:
Re: Why won't my podcasts play in iTunes?
Which seems to address a similar problem. After looking into it, it seems as though my university has changed the link from being http:// to https:// and perhaps that's why it's not playing?
So my main question is, is there any way around this/any way to change it from https to http to make it play? Or, alternatively, is there any other explanation that could be responsible for them not playing?
Sorry, I'm not very tech savvy and not sure if I've worded this very well but it's worth a shot!
Thanks

The current (nearly) all 64-bit version of iTunes doesn't integrate with QuickTime. If you have content that needs QuickTime on your system then uninstall iTunes and all supporting components, then install the version of iTunes found here: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and reinstall QuickTime. The "for older video cards" release is a 64-bit installer for the core 32-bit iTunes application, similar to all 64-bit releases of iTunes prior to 12.1 and will work with QuickTime.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates if you have problems uninstalling or reinstalling components.

Podcasts won't play in iTunes

Hi folks,
There are two issues, one serious less so for the new version of iTunes 7.0 for XP.
The serious problem is that for reasons that are unclear, *no podcasts* will play! I've tried everything, but I am at a total loss. In the previous version, iTunes would just download stuff and I can play it, now, nothing. It acts as if there is nothing there. Is there something I need to do in iTunes that will allow me to play? Can I go back to a previous version?
The second issue is that in the previous version there was a tab called "entire library" where I could go in and delete played podcasts manually. Now, I can't do that and have to wait till the update takes it out OR even worse go into each org's podcast, click on the triangle and delete the old episodes. How can I get an entire library tab back onto the

well, since I stumped the iTunes people on my problem, I'd still like an answer to my second question-- in the last version of iTunes I was able to easily delete old podcasts from the library. How can I do that now???

Videos and video podcasts won't play in iTunes

When ever I try to play a movie from either a podcast or a TV show, it will play about 1 second, stall, the "beach-ball" appears, the audio plays for that one second of video, then repeats. I am running a G3 iMac but before I updated to 10.4 (had 10.2) and videos played normally. Just wondering if there was any way to fix it.
(On a side note, after I updated OS X, online quicktime movies play the same way)

Andrew, have you tried re-installing QuickTime? That might fix it. Download it from Apple:

Video Podcasts Won't Play under 7.3.2.6

Just installed new itunes and quick time and numerous previously downloaded and newly downloaded video podcasts won't play. You can see the opening frame on the small screen at bottom left if you click but when you try to play, the screen goes green, purple or other color and starts to vertically roll (like old tvs used to do) with foggy images. Strangely other video podcasts (old and new)do play. One example of podcast that does not play is Photoshop Killer Tips; one that does play is Adobe Photoshop Quick Tips.
Computer has plenty of space and has been cleaned of temporary files, defragged, etc.

And this is when going to videos-->video podcasts, right? Do they even show up there at all?

Videos won't play in iTunes

TV, Video Podcast, Movies - none of them play in iTunes 10.5.3. A windows pops up, you have the PAUSE button showing as if it's playing but nothing is happening, just a still shot of the video. They play fine in quicktime.
I re-installed iTunes, no luck.

iTunes. It is formatted so that it should play, but

"Safe Mode" and also plays on my iPod, but what do I
do for it to work in iTunes!? Thank you in advance

So you are able to sync these podcasts over to your iPod Classic? Would you be able to post a screenshot of one of these podcast's Summary tab of its Get Info window in iTunes? Be sure to blank out the Apple ID fields and any personal informaiton shown on this tab.

I purchased a film but it won't play because iTunes says I need to authorize the computer, but when I do that it says the computer is already authorized. Huh - some system. Any ideas?

I rec'd a CD with audio files. The suffix is .v09, and they won't play on iTunes. Any idea what I should do?

I have a MacBook, OS X.

No helpful information seems to be available about this, except that on Windows .v09 indicates an unknown extension - in other words they could be anything. What do you get if you highlight the file and hit command-i - does the info pane give you any file type?
The best thing would be to ask the person who sent you the CD what they are; if you can't do this you can only try opening it in various programs. Audacity is a free audio editor which can open a number of formats. You could try dragging it to a browser icon in case it's Flash, or try the Windows Media Player. However there's a good chance that it's one of the obscure audio formats, in which case you very likely won't be able to play it.

Song won't play on itunes but plays on quicktime

I just downloaded an entire album (not off itunes). However when i click on the song in finder, iTunes opens up but doesn't even display my song. Nothing happens. Not only does it not play, there is not evidence I even clicked on the song.
However when I open it on Quicktime is plays just fine.
I made an email account containing one of the songs that won't play. If someone can maybe dissect why the song won't play in iTunes I'd greatly appreciate it.
<Edited by Host>
I've attached the song to the first email sent to myself. Maybe if you could look at how it's encoded or something to help figure this out.
Thanks in advance!

MP3 files have structures which can vary according to the dialect of mp3 used. Some applications will only look at a file if it is perfect. Some are willing to try pretty much anything. (Like reading a post on Apple Discussion. If somebody omits grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure I might not even try reading it, but some are willing to try and can make sense of it in the end.) There's something not quite right with the file (um, if this is of dubious origins it might not be surprising). iTunes won't look at it, but Quicktime is willing to have a go and can make enough sense of it to play it.
I opened the file with MP3Trimmer (well worth the minimal shareware fee IMHO, and has a pretty liberal trial version). Normally it would open a file like that in a few seconds. It took it about a minute of scanning before it did. I then saved the file in mp3Trimmer (it doesn't recode it so there's no additional quality loss) and it fixed whatever it didn't like and I could add it to iTunes.

I have upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS7. Now my podcasts I have added to ITunes and synced with iPhone do not open. When I touch the screen like in the old iOS6, nothing happens.

Hello irish3kr,
You may need to download and install the Podcasts app.

Movies in mobilme gallery won't play in safari on the ipad

The movies I have put on my MobilMe Gallery won't play in Safari on the iPad. The photo gallery works fine, but the movies gallery does not. I created the movies directly from within Quicktime (Share-> MobilMe gallery). Using Safari on my Mac everything works fine. It's only on the iPad that it fails!
What is the matter here? And how to solve this?

Yes, same thing here. I received an email on my iPad with a direct link to a MobileMe gallery movie page. Click on the link and Safari opens just fine, and shows the first image of movie and the text, but no spinning, never loads, can't play.
I know you're supposed to use the MM Gallery app... but... what about those iPad users who don't have MobileMe, but are just redirected by an email link - they could download it, but wouldn't know that.

My iPad2 won't sync with iTunes. Upgraded iPad to iOS 6, iTunes is latest version (10.7). Cable connection. What am I missing?

My iPad2 won't sync with iTunes. Upgraded iPad to iOS 6, iTunes is latest version (10.7). Cable connection. What am I missing?

I'm having the same, identical problem. It goes into step 2 (backing up process) then it goes back to step one (finding iPad) and it starts over again. It will just keep doing that for 3 or 4 times until it will say "iPad not found". This is so frustrating.

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

Thank you for the replies.
Appearane of 'Music' functions (I>> > II <<I, plus volume slider) on the lock/log in screen (when first turning on the iPhone) thus far seems without pattern, i.e. regardless of which if any applications are up in the background, and indeed even when all have been quit.
All visual aspects of 'Music' appear normal after launch including the title scroll across the top in vertical mode. However, while pressing play (>) converts the play (>) icon to pause (II), selected song does not play and the elapsed time bar (upper end between the track count and the repeat/shuffle icons) remains stationary at 0:00 or at any point to which it is dragged. When using home sharing this same problem persists regardless of what output is selected.
Hope that may prompt a thought somewhere.

HT1473 How can I transfer my music (not purchased from Itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes library on a Macbook Pro?

I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
Help Please!

The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
