TS1967 I have just bought a new computer and downloaded latest version of itunes. It has all installed fine, but when I sync my ipod, it shows all the songs but won't play any of the songs in that library. Also, I can't add new files.

I have just bought a new computer and downloaded the latest version of itunes. It has all installed fine, but when I plug my ipod and sync it, the music library shows all the songs and videos that are on there, but won't let me play them. Also, I can't add any new songs to the same library. It saves them elsewhere. I have had the previous version on another computer and it worked just fine. I have been online trying to find an answer but nothing. Hope someone can help me. Thanks

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

QuickTime Pro 7.5 won't play any streaming keynote from apple website.

Hi, I am an Apple fan and as any fan, I would like to watch WWDC 08.
Instead of downloading it on iTunes I would like to watch it from that link:
http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0806wdt546x/event/index.html
I have 256Kbps connection and I think that it's enough for this kind of work.
Unfortunately when I try to watch that keynote (or any other), Quicktime opens, start to work, etc... but then nothing: The title changed to WWDC 2008 Keynote, I get the quicktime logo in front of me, with some blue dots going from left to right and from right to left but nothing else. No keynote.
I thought that it was "loading" and let it load for a whole day but the video never start.
I tried to change the settings in Quicktime Preferences in the streaming tab but it didn't change anything. Still getting the same problem.
I am on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2 (not updated to 10.5.3 because I heard that there were issues with CS3), using QuickTime Pro 7.5 on an iMac.
Can anyone help me on how to solve that?
Thanks in advance.

What changes did you do & did you restart your computer afterwards?
Have you tried a different browser?
Download the video & then view the Keynote. See if you experience the same issue.

HT1386 My I phone used to play music that I had downloaded from Cds to my computer, but since the last update,my phone only plays songs that I bought on itunes. It still shows I have all my old music but won't play any of it. What's going on?

Ok, so I synched my iphone 4 to my computer recently and now when I go to play music on my phone, only the songs I've bought on Itunes play. I put all of my music collection that is in CD form on my computer and it used to play on my phone too, but now it just skips those songs. They still play on my computer though. I've been trying to figure out what the problem is for over three days or so and am about to loose my friggin mind! Can anyone help me?

De-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

The new Itunes 6.0 won't play any songs

Since i downloaded the new i tunes software, neither quicktime nor itunes will work. itunes opens but won't play any of my songs, and i think it has to do with quicktime.when i click on quicktime, it won't open and says that there is an error. maybe 7.0.3 did not download, but i've tried downloading it again, and the itunes repair wizard appears, not changing anything. is there anyway to fix this problem, or can i go back to itunes 5.5. please can someone help me. by the way its for a pc.

I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week. Help! Thanks.

Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
How to restore data to your PC is outside the scope of these forums.

My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start

My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start. I installed DiV X today and all this happened is there anyway to fix this?? I went through everything dragging the icon to the trash and deleting it from safari extentions.

Download and install
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac Note that Perian will be discontinued after the release of Mountain Lion: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57434082-263/perian-plug-in-for-quicktime-t o-be-discontinued/?tag=txt;title

I downloaded a song from i-tunes. It plays on my computer, but won't play on my i-phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or how can I re-download the song without getting charged a second time. I could not find an option to "report a problem".

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 entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

My ipad is saying I have app updates to install, but won't allow me to update. The update screen is blank. Any ideas on how to fix?

There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.

Quicktime Player Pro won't play any movies?

Ever since I restored my computer about a month ago, my Quicktime Player won't play any video formats correctly. .avi files don't play anymore, and mp4 files only play sound with the screen black. Then when I try to close the application, I get the pinwheel for a long time, thus making me force quit every time. How can I fix this so it can play movies correctly?
(I'd also like to know how to get it to play .mka format movies as well)

Courtney,
There are a lot of possible CODECS used with .AVI file, not all of which are available for the QuickTime player.
If you just want to play the AVI files use the free VLC media player found at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Itunes 12 won't play any tracks

Hi there Wellington451,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue playing audio tracks in iTunes on your PC. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips that’ll resolve most issues like this one.

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are availabl

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all my songs play except for about 8 or 9.

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

AIR seems to install but won't install any AIR apps

I installed AIR on Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition, and it seems to install OK (no error messages). But when I go to install an AIR app (Yammer desktop in this case) it will not install the app and I never see the installer come up. This is a new computer that never had AIR on it. First I went ot the Yammer site to load the app there, as I did on my XP computer. The install started, but hung up. I was at work, so I let it sit for a few hours, but it was still hung. I then rebooted and tried to install using the offline installer. It seemed to install, but won't install any AIR apps. I have uninstalled/reinstalled AIR and Yammer but no change. I also tried uninistalling using the MS FixIt utility, but no difference. AIR seems installed but if I go to the Yammer web site, it tries to install AIR again. Log below.

Hi Tom,
Would you be willing to do a desktop sharing session with me so I can take a look at what is happening with your system? If so, please contact me at [email protected] If you want to try something immediately, I'd recommend creating a new, temporary, user account and seeing if you can install Yammer there. If so, log back into your normal account and try launching the installed Yammer app.
Thanks,
Chris

Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264 encoded videos on my 10.4.11 MacMini

Hello:
This is my first post. I read through the forums and this seems to be the correct place to pose my question. If it's not, my apologizes.
I'm trying to find out why Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264-encoded video on my MacMini (G4 PPC). I'm running 10.4.11. I recently installed Perian 1.2.1 and it got some .avi files to play correctly, whereas before there was no sound. But the h264 files still get me a black screen, albeit with sound now. Some h264 files can be played in VLC Media Player (but that's a horrible player compared to Quicktime in my opinion, as it constantly drops frames and eats 100% of my processor time), but VLC even has the black screen problem on some h264 files as well.
I've also tried MPlayer OSX but that's really an alpha-type development and has a lot of bugs. Many movies it can't even open.
Sorry for the rambling, but again my question: Is there any way to play h264-encoded video in Quicktime 7.6.4 on my Mac?
Thanks in advance for your expertise and advice.

Mr Ram,
There is a group of Quicktime specialists in Apple.com ⇒ Support ⇒ Discussions ⇒ Quicktime .
The more data you give us, the easier it is to help us help you to diagnose your problem. Your disk space would be very useful. Contrary to some, I advocate iDefrag to assist VLC and MPlayer, which you were a little hard on.
GNU/Linux's free offerings
MPlayer was developed a decade ago, and I prefer it for viewing DVDs (for 'DVD Player') seems too dark. VLC (legally) copies many CRM-protected DVDs of yours, so you can play only the burned copy. When I'm having a problem playing a DVD, the VLC log tells me all: only perfect DVDs play well on VLC.
There are two ways of viewing everything.
Streaming MPEG-4
+H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ is a fancy codec based upon MPEG-4: it requires a powerful processor to de-compress it. I watched an MPEG-4 movie from a G3 iBook in 2005. It played flawlessly.
Your Problem
Quicktime 7.X applications can not play +H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ streams. It was a bug Apple never fixed. Frames are dropped because H.264 is so slow that it requires special hardware. You, I'm sad to say, don't have it.
To quote the Wikipedia on Quicktime: 'QuickTime 7 lacks support for H.264's Sample Aspect Ratio .[67] QuickTime X does not have this limitation; many Apple products (such as iTunes and Apple TV) still use the older QuickTime 7 engine.'
My Quicktime Pro on a PPC PowerBook is 7.6.4. You can either use a Linux transplant or upgrade to Quicktime X. Those more familiar with Macs may have better ideas for you.
My best,
Bruce
