Problem with song playing...

Hey everyone...I'm trying to lay down a song to play with my movie and a window keeps popping up saying that the song is not authorized to play on this computer. I purchased the song from iTunes and I go ahead and authorize it and it keeps popping back up not allowing me to hear the song. Keep in mind this is my laptop that has all of my songs on it from iTunes so I don't know why I would be getting this error message. Thanks in advance...

updated Quicktime and that did the trick...

If you mean you subscribed to iTunes Match, you have to import your music into your iTuens library in order to add it to iTunes Match. iTunes Match (and iCloud) only works with iOS devices and computers. It won't work with your iPod Classic; you'll have to sync that with iTunes in order to add your music.

Problem with song names

Hey, I'm having this problem with song names. For example, instead of the song title being "Song Title" it will be like "Artist Name - Song Title". It's like this for half my files. I'm trying to organize my music files and every time I fix it, it keeps going back.
This has happened to me before and usually if I double click it, it will automatically change. This time, nothing seems to work except doing it manually ("Get Info)" and that would take too long since I have 7,000 files like this. I posted this on another board and somebody said to right click the songs and click Update ID3 v2.4 which originally worked, but now nothing but manually doing it works.
This is like this when I open it for other programs, but I know iTunes caused. I think it has something to do with the "Keep my iTunes Folder Organized" check because iTunes renames the file. I also tried reinstalling itunes and readding my files.
Thanks for any help!

I don't completely understand what you are trying to say, but iTunes doesn't automatically change your tag information.
iTunes stores a copy of the tag information in the library database. When you play a track, iTunes re-reads the tag information from the song file and updates the library data. This produces the efferct that iTunes appears to change tag information but it isn't, it is meerly reflecting a change that already happend.
Do you have any other software on your PC that can automatically change tag information? For example Windows Media player can do it if you select an option to retrieve data from the internet and overwrite existing info. But other software may do it too.
If you want to force iTunes to re-read all tags, go to your Music view and go to Edit>>Select All. Then right click in the selection and choose Get Info. Don't change anything, just exit by clicking OK. iTunes will update the library with the tag information from the song files.

Problems with songs skipping in ITunes Library

I recently transferred my Itunes from an old PC based computer to a new PC based laptop (GateWay M Series - Windows Vista). After that I upgraded to Itunes 8.1. I am now experiencing the problem with songs in my Library skipping after about 5 seconds into the song. I have my library sorted alphabetically, sometimes after the 5 seconds it skips down 10-15 songs before it lands on one that it plays all the way through. In one instance it played all the way through on 3 songs from the same album - only to start skipping after 5 seconds into the 4th song. It doesn't happen on every song. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to the types of songs this happens with - some of them were purchased songs, some were from CDs. I tried uninstalling the Library and then reinstalling - figuring that my library was corrupted. But - it is still doing it - only now it is doing it on different songs than before. Again no rhyme or reason. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what I can do to fix this!! My husband and son were able to transfer their libraries from the old PC to their new PC laptops and they haven't had this problem with their libraries!

Problems with song's names in iTunes Store

So, I have a problem with song's names in iTunes Store on my iPhone 6+ 128. with 8.2
You can see it on attached screens.
I tried to change the font size and erase the phone and then install it again by default. The problem manifests itself on 6+ and didn't on my iPad with the same program version.

That's really curious. Sorry I don't have anything else by way of potential solutions to offer, but it may be worth contacting Apple about this one.

HT204406 am having issues with songs playing in there entirety. song starts playing and then half way stops and starts playing the second song of say a minute or so and then no sound until end of second song. it then starts to play third song and it do

any one having issues with songs playing in there entirety using itunes match? plays parts of songs and skips and starts playing second song. part and then keeps playing with no music. does this on every set of songs.

I'm having this issue on my iPod and now none of my songs on iTunes will play. Not fix yet though. Have you had any luck?

Please help I have problems with songs,podcasts,and just general media play

hey guys, I'll get straight into it. My problem is that many of the songs and podcasts in my library come up with the little exclamation mark when I havn't changed anything or deleted anything, so I have to find the original files, which occasisionally just dissapear for no apparent reason. Also I have problems with d/l podcasts as sometimes it wont d/l the newest edition etc but comes up with the little '!' mark. I have just upgraded to iTunes 7 and although the problem was occuring before the upgrade just aggravated it, and messed up my library files causing me to revert to an older library.
Now last and most importantly, my audio has suddenly become choppy since I upgraded. This is similar to the problem I have with the sound in Quicktime only working properly if I keep all other apps and tasks to a bare minimum (even if they take up barely any system resources). This seems strange as my system is not exactly poor performance.
Thanks in advance guys !

Hi,
If you right click a file, and do getinfo on the summary page this will give a file location, is this matching the file location on your hard disk? If not that might explain the exclamation marks?
Kind Regards

Is there a way to fix ipod touch screen display problem with song list?

I was wondering if anybody has had this problem? I have an ipod touch 64gig 5th gen for probably about 2 years. I hardly use it because I have it as a back up ipod until primary one dies. This is the first time I came across this problem. Upon turning on device, the first artist/song list I choose displays correctly. Once I start choosing any other artist/song list afterwards, the display for the 1st artist/song list re-appears. If the song list is only a single song to 3-4 songs it will display correctly. Any other song list I choose that consist more than 5 songs, the first artist/song list re-appears on screen like the display is messed up.
For example: Upon turning on device, I choose Aaliyah with a list of 9 songs displaying.
Upon trying to select a different artist and song, for example I choose Nachtmar with a list of 20 songs.
The Aaliyah with the list of 9 songs re appears in place of the song list I am attempting to choose. The songs play and it works, but the display is incorrect. Why is it doing this? Does anybody have this problem? I have tried resetting and it has currently been updated. I have came across this problem just very recently a couple of days ago. I have had a couple of hard resets requiring to erase all data in the past and I don't want to go that way again because I have about 3,500 songs. I have never experience this problem before in the past. I just want it to display the current list of songs. It's inconvenient having to type in every song while playing in the car instead of being able to easily pick an individual song.

I have this problem too and it drives me crazy. When I view my ipod, I don't want to see a list of the first 8 songs in my ipod library. I just want to see the current song playing. It's like the ipod display goes into some type of "sleep" mode while your music plays,and the display defaults to show the first few songs in your ipod touch library, even though none of those songs are currently being played. I have to take the time to either flip the ipod over a couple of times in order for that list to disappear just to see the current song playing.
This is an example of what I see on my display after the current song begins playing. These are the first songs in my ipod library. To get rid of this view, I have to either shake the ipod or flip it over a couple of times and the current song is now displayed, allowing you to see the current song, also allowing you access to the arrows to either fast forward or playback/reverse. On the display, the songs are in a grid or table format (unable to show that here).

Nano 2nd Generation, Problems with Songs ???

Hello, I have transfered songs from my iTunes to my Nano and there is 2 songs that play for couple of seconds than just stops and goes to the next song. Weird thing is when i go to play the song directly from iTunes it plays normally. I have also downloaded the songs to my Ipod Video 30gb and the same exact songs play normal with no problems. ?????? I just dont understand whats wrong. I have even did the 5 R's and restored my Nano and still the same problems with just those 2 songs. I could just go without those 2 songs but, it just makes me curious to why it works in iTunes and on my Ipod Video 30gb, but not on the Nano. If you have had this problem before or know of a solution your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You for taking the time to read this...
Ipod Nano 2nd Generation Other OS Windows Vista

I have this exact same problem, but after doing the 5 R's it is now cutting songs short that didn't have that problem before. Unlike Junz, I can't live with random songs being cut off. I am very interested in an answer as well.

Audio problem- Multiple songs playing at once

Hello,
I have a problem with playing a song. Everything seems fine
until the song reaches about half way and then the same song starts
playing ontop of the same song. First you hear the song, then you
hear two songs, then three, and so on.
What am I doing wrong? I can't figure it out. Any help would
be great.
Thanks
Bernie

I would say that if you want the song to loop that it may be
better to use a Sound Object and a little code. so if you would be
interested in this route - remove the sound from the timeline.
first - set up the sound by selecting it in the library and
right-click select 'properties...' - then in the properties panel
check the 'export for ActionScript' box and give the sound an
'Indentifier' name - this will allow you to use the sound file
within the document and point to it in code by using the ID name.
next - make a new layer called 'actions' on the main timeline
if you don't have one already - select the first frame and enter
the code below - replace the 'IDname.mp3' with the ID name of your
sound file you've assigned.
see the 'sound.start()' method below - the second parameter
in it refers to the amount of 'loops' that it will run before
stopping - you can set this any way you would like.
more information on the Sound Object class is available

Problems with songs not syncing to iTouch 4g even when in AAC format- really really need help?

I need answers really seriously pronto as I am going abroad in a few days with little access to any computer and none to mine.
I downloaded some songs from iTunes a couple of days ago and then synced them to my iPod (which is manually synced due to my songs being split between computer accounts- long story ^^). The songs themselves synced, but they're full of static or just silence. One in particular you can hardly hear- once the song starts playing, it just becomes quieter and quieter, interspersed with plenty of static. The other songs on my iPod are absolutely fine, it doesn't appear to be a problem with the iPod or the computer. I've tried making AAC format versions of these songs (which are absolutely fine on iTunes, just suddenly damaged on my iPod) but they won't sync- I drag them over to my iPod's icon and nothing happens. It worked before with a song that was just silent. I really need some help, I am so frustrated! Thanks in advance for any answers.

What are the performance Preferences?

Album photos compatibility with song played

+Album photos compatibility with song playedTfirst i wanna thank you for building a device of such great sound quality, but your publicity cheats. I bought my zen mozaic EZ 00 like 2 months ago, it costs me 50$ plus shipping...i was confused with the price, because the EZ 300, had the same features (or so it said in your official website) and cost 0 bucks more! so i was a little doubtful. Anyway i bought and i was looking for days, until i found on the forum that only the EZ 300 had radio fm and built-in speaker, after i have read several times (in your web page) that it did!?
Then you changed...too late for me.....Well, my problem now is that with some albums when i play the song, the album art doesn's appear in the background and the picture is in the folder of the song and is a compatible format and i transfered with the creative software. I need your help.

I'm posting in case others have this problem...it self corrected when unit shut down and restarted on it's own. I don't know why it shut down but nevertheless, unit is behaving normal again...

Problems with mirror play to Apple TV from macbook air

Hi,
I'm having difficulty's streaming from my macbook air to the tv screen via the apple tv.
The Apple TV is conected to the Internet via wifi and it plays rented movies or streaming youtube fine but if i try to watch a movie from my laptop (stream of the net ) and watch it on the tv then it wont work properly , it has excessive lag and cuts out or wont connect to my laptop at all . it wont show the desk top intermittent either and massive delays when it does.
i think it may have something to do with an update or something ? I have mavericks on the air and everything is updated , i have 2 apple tvs and 1 is connected through Ethernet and it seems ok I've also tried to do the same through my imac with parrot but its the same problems even tho its connected directly to the router.
Thanks in advance
stu

The Imac has the same problem with playing to the lounge room atv but no where near as bad, ( can actually watch a movie) it just cuts in and out a little but when you watch it on the imac screen its playing fine.
my modem is a netgear dual band and i have tryed both bands and still has the problem i also have a range extender and its bad through that but when I originally purchased the atv it worked fine with it.
I don't watch a lot of movies mainly stream music through the iphone on it and this is why im thinking that an update may have affected it cause it used to work fine but i also did purchase the netgear router and im thinking it may also could be a problem but what i cant understand is the problem is only with airplay or parrot depending on laptop or desk top and no real problems with the iphone streaming movies or the stream ok through itunes apart from some movies don't have sound in itunes .
When you say I can adjust the router could you tell me what to adjust or how ?
Thanks for your help

Problems with instant play in some browsers

This is not a problem with how Safari works, but I thought someone here might help me with a frustrating problem for which I can find no solution.
I created several web pages with embedded QuickTime movies in mp4 format. They are constructed so that the movies begin instantly to play as soon as the pages are accessed. This has worked for the past couple of years regardless of which browser was used ( Mac versions of Safari, Firefox versions <4.x, Sunrise and others; Windows versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox).
It has recently been brought to my attention that this functionality is broken when updating to Firefox 4.x for Mac or when using Chrome for Mac. Using either of these browsers to access the pages results in a static page with no video play. The user must wait 1-2 minutes for the video to completely download and then it will automatically play. Since the movies play fine on multiple browsers, including the new Firefox 4.x for Windows, it seems to me that the problem is not in how the movies were coded but rather in how the browsers handle the html code for the pages.
The movies were edited in FCP, exported to Compressor, processed as mp4 streaming video and then embedded in web pages using Freeway Pro software with the "auto play" option enabled.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
John
a sample page is: http://lccut.org/videofiles/gospelvideo6high.html

Here's the response I got from Freeway Pro support:
Hi John
There seems to be an issue at the moment with the way that Firefox 4 (and to a certain extent Chrome) handles QuickTime movies. If you go to the test page on our site at <http://users.softpress.com/keith/firefox4test/> you'll see that it is very erratic in what it shows and how it plays - but note that you may need to wait a while in between clicking on Firefox 4's Refresh button to see that the results change from one refresh to the next.
Freeway is certainly publishing the code correctly, so this is does not appear to be a Freeway issue - though we would like to get to the source of the problem so we can advise customers on the best options to fix things. If you Google for "firefox4 quicktime movie problem" (without the quotes) you will see that this is not a problem specific to Freeway users.
Leopard users report that Firefox 4 displays and plays QT movies fine, but Snow Leopard seems to have problems. This may be due to the way that QuickTime and Firefox 4 play together, as Leopard and Snow Leopard use slightly different versions of QuickTime.
You should, however, be aware that non-Mac users will always need to download the QuickTime plug-in (which many PC users are reluctant to do, and some may not be allowed to by their IT department) for them to be able to see the movies play. The only truly universal method for offering video content on a web page is to use Flash .flv files and then use the FLV Player Action so that iPhone/iPad users will see an alternative (non-Flash) movie which is created by the Action. See the movie tutorial at <http://www.softpress.com/support/tutorials> (Episode 14) for details of how to set this up.
As soon as we find a workaround for the problems with Firefox 4 and Chrome, we will put up an article on our KnowledgeBase at <http://www.softpress.com/kb/>. It might be that Firefox and Chrome will release a new update soon to fix the problem, in which case we will tell you which version you need to download an install.
Best regards
So the FW people insist that there software is encoded the pages properly and it is the fault of the newer Mac browsers causing the error.

Problem with song tracks order

I seem to have this problem with only one album. Even though each song in the album has been correctly identified by its track number it still shows up in iTunes in the wrong order. This is especially annoying because the album has gapless playback and since all the tracks are in the wrong order I can't listen to it as I normally would.

Yeah... same thing happened when I downloaded Season 2 of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. They all transfered over fine, but in complete wrong order. *****, because the show follows a serial time-line and now it's all messed up.
Anyone help?
