Radio won't play either

My songs won't play... my radio won't play... any suggestions?
My video plays fine

Ok, then let's capture your system configuration information and send it to the Apple engineers.
Windows Start menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Run. Type in "dxdiag", click OK. In the lower right hand corner of the dialog that comes up, there is a button called "Save All Information...". Click that and save it. It's a text file, so you can open it and make sure it's not sending any personal information.
You need to send that file to our buddy Roy, <[email protected]>. Make sure that you include:
(1) the dxdiag file.
(2) the link to this thread.
(3) a one line description of your problem, i.e. "iTunes won't play audio".
(4) the username that you're using here in the discussion boards.
(5) what was the previous version of iTunes that you updated to 7.5 from.
Roy is getting a little swamped with messages and needs to make sure he gets all the information. And if he doesn't get that information, the message is just going to get dropped on the floor.

  • Upgrade to iOS7.1 has broken Music. . .can't play songs in the cloud and songs that have been downloaded won't play either.

    I've discovered an interesting "feature" of iOS7.1 for the iPad (4th gen). 
    Since upgrading, I can no longer play music that is in the cloud and when trying to switch to a song that has been downloaded to the device, it won't play either; however, the equilizer graphic indicates that something is playing (bouncing up and down) but the song position indicator stays at 0:00.
    Eventually, iTunes/Music (not sure what to call it these days since Apple can't seem to decide either) gives up on the song selected, the on that is not playing, and moves to the next song.  If the next song is local to the device, music plays, if it's another song in the cloud, the pattern repeats until it hits a downloaded song.  Have also discovered, after my various and simple testing efforts, that I can no longer download songs from the cloud - I was able to download one song but afer that. . .kaput. 
    It takes a special level of brilliance to send out an update that breaks your own applications/code. . .particularly one so core to the device. 
    Two words for future releases. . ."Quality Assurance". 

    I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

  • ITunes Radio Won't Play Music

    iTunes Radio on my Mac Mini won't play. The songs load up, but no music is played and the progress bar always stays blue (i.e., doesn't show up like a normal song playing where it starts at the beginning and as the song progresses  moves towards the end). If I skip a song, it makes no difference. The new song loads up on the player but it doesn't play and the progress bar remains blue all across.
    This has been acting up off and on, but it usually would get working after I'd quite iTunes. It started acting up again yesterday and I was unable to get it to play. I then upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 overnight and today I upgraded iTunes to 12.1.2
    I've signed in and out of my account, reauthorized and reauthorized the computer, signed in and out of iTunes Match to no avail. This only happens on my Mac Mini. I have no problem playing iTunes Radio music on my iMac, iPhone, iPad, etc.
    Any suggestions? I have tried just about everything I could think of.
    Best regards, Phil

    Ditto here. Done all you did also. Sign in, sign out. Restarted, checked iTunes Match, Updated Genius....nothing.

  • Music will not play after ios5 update, it still appears there but will not play...if I select a song, it jumps to another song but will not play anything.  Also, if I try to play any of the files on the phone from iTunes they won't play either...help!!

    No fix for getting music to play on iphone4 after ios5 update...
    Cannot find how to manually sync according to someone else's fix...
    If I try to play any of the songs already on the phone from the iTunes software, they don't play either...
    FRUSTRATING!!!   Please help!!!

    Hopefully Apple is trying to clean up this mess of an opperating system

  • Radio won't play my station

    Why won't iTunes Radio play my custom station?

    Thanks for the reply.
    There is no error message.  I can create a station with an artist and the radio will play based off that artist.  It seems that the radio stops playing if I add too many artists.  I do not know the threshold.  I have tried several times to create a station with my favorite artists, and at some point it stops playing and won't start back up. I have tried powering down and restarting my iPhone but it does not help.  I am almost ready to go back to Pandora or Slacker but I would like to keep using this because I like the wish-list function for iTunes.

  • Videos won't play in latest version

    When will I learn that once I find a version of FF that works, not to update it? I was working with v20 for a long time, and it worked fine. Decided to update to latest version, and BAM! Videos don't play.
    Tried safe mode, still same thing. No videos will play. Was fine this morning, but tried to watch CNN video and it would not play. Spinning circle just jumps around, doesn't spin. YouTube won't play either.
    Portable version from Portable Apps works fine.

    If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • ITunes Burns but CDs won't play - why?

    Using Leopard, I burn a playlist in iTunes to CD. CD finishes and song tracks are visible, but CDs won't play either in CD player or computer. Why? This just started a few weeks ago. Have burned successfully many times before. Have "Audio CD" selected in preferences, etc. Can anyone help? Thanks a million.

    I'm having the same trouble. Used to burn just fine until a little while ago. Now, it just hangs up iTunes in an eternal burn cycle. I try to force quit again & again & again but iTunes just sits there, with the blank disc whirring and spinning inside my machine. Cannot force quit so I have to restart just to quit iTunes. When the CD shows up on desktop (and in iTunes) after restart it looks like a normal, properly burned CD, complete with song titles. But when I play it, it's just erratic digital noise.

  • Rental DVDs won't play

    I just purchased a new MBP C2D 2.16 with a French keyboard layout. I noticed that the DVD drive model was not the Matshita UJ-857D that came with my roommate's MBP C2D 2.33. Instead, the model number on mine is a HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MA. I'm having problems reading rental DVDs or CDs - the kind with the 2 magnetic strips on the surface that sets off alarms if you walk out with them without paying. However, my roommate's MBP reads and plays them without trouble.
    Is anyone else having similar problems?

    My video won't play either.
    I'm working on my last chapter of my senior thesis and I've been having issues with Amazon Instant Video so I downloaded all the videos for my film chapter on itunes rental video... it took FOREVER to download and when I started watching it, the video froze less than half way through.  I re-started itunes and the video had to download all over again and now it won't start at all!!!!  The clock is ticking both on my 24-hour rental AND on my thesis chapter!!!!
    I have the newest version of Quicktime, my apple account works fine, and it's not a firewall issue.... how can I solve this??

  • Ripped DVD's won't play

    My G4 _*will play*_ commercially prepared Movie DVD's. But if I rip a movie (MacRipper) and save it on the hard drive, it won't play from the hard drive. A burned copy won't play either. I have no problem with any of this on My G5 IMac works and and or my Intel IMac. But not on the G4.
    Why is this?

    Will the MacBook start up using the install DVD that came with it? To test this, shut down the computer, start it up again and hold down the Option key on the keyboard. Insert the install DVD. If everything is working correctly, you should see an image of the install disk come up (possibly after clicking a curly arrow shaped refresh button) and you can click on it and continue.
    If the computer spits out the install disk, it would seem you have a hardware issue - probably the optical drive is bad and needs to be replaced. Contact Apple for service or carry it in to an Apple retail store (make an appointment first so you don't have a long wait at the Genius Bar) or to an Apple authorized service provider.
    Assuming your niece's use of the MacBook has been normal (not putting anything that is not supposed to go in there into the optical drive, for instance) this should be covered under the MacBook's warranty.
    Best of luck.

  • ITunes rental won't play on new computer

    I rented a movie three weeks ago. Last week, I bought a new-to-me (used) computer and transferred all my content to the new machine. I have purchased iTunes Match, and all my books and music and almost everything works. But when I tried to play my rented movie on the new computer, I got a message saying it wasn't authorized to play on this computer. It's the same Apple ID and all my other content works on the new machine.
    Brilliant me, I thought I would just delete it and download it again since I haven't watched it. Now it's just gone.
    Any ideas? I have another rented movie still in my rentals folder, but it won't play either.
    Christine Kling

    Yes, I am getting the exact same message. It says:
    Could not play the rental “The Cove” because it is authorized to play on another computer or device.

  • Video Clips won't play

    Although Premiere 9 with all updates installed, worked fine a few weeks ago now none of the video clips will play.
    I imported a bunch of new clips without a problem but they won't play.  My computer is new with lots of memory.  The files are mpeg and the cam corder is a Panasonic HDC-TM60.  I thought perhaps it was these new clips, but my old projects load without a problem but they won't play either.  I just see the thumbnail.  There is no sound.  If I scroll, the clip moves so it is the clip and not just a still as I thought might be the problem.  Any ideas?
    Michael

    I seem to have solved this problem.  Premiere does not seem to like the MOTU audio interface I use for my song recording/composing.
    When I switched the sound playback to the internal onboard sound card I once again had sound and video.  Not sure why but I've got it working.

  • Itunes 7 won't play most of my songs!

    I don't play music on my computer in Itunes very often, so I didn't notice until today that with version 7 of Itunes, some of my songs won't play. In fact, at least 75% won't play! These are not copy protected songs. I'm not talking about the ones that were purchased from Itunes, though most of those won't play, either (and my computer is authorized). Most of my songs are in MP3 format. They play in Winamp. They did play in all the older versions of Itunes, but not in 7.02 (or 7.0).
    I tried going back to version 6, but it won't accept my library. I spent weeks and weeks getting my library organized and I can't afford to lose it. I can't do it again. So I went back to version 7.
    I'm afraid now that if I try to add any songs and sync Itunes to my Ipod, all those problem songs (which play now on my Ipod) will stop playing.
    I'd really, really, appreciate some help here. Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks.

  • Radio files won't play in iTunes

    Please help. I have been searching the support and discussion areas for 2 days and can't figure out my problem. Some radio files will play when opened in iTunes; others won't. From reading the posts and ideas, I've eliminated several things:
    - increased the buffer to Large; no change.
    - tried the buffer at different levels; no change.
    - tried both pls and m3u files. Work from some stations and not from others.
    - Checked the size of files. can play 64 kpbs some times, others not. Sometimes small files 24 kbps won't work.
    - Checked the number of listeners; well within maximum but files wouldn't work.
    - Tried files from the same station - wshu.org - at different times on different days. Sometimes will work, sometimes won't.
    - Can't get any downloads from wliu.org to work, either pls or m3u.
    What happens is that I'll go to the website, click on the download link. iTunes opens the file, tries to connect, and then stops. The file looks like it can be played; I'll press play. It starts to connect and then stops.
    This also happens with some radio stations within iTunes. I tried 5-6 different NPR stations at various speeds. Some would follow the above behavior, some would work.
    I'm going nuts. Can anyone help?
    System:
    iTunes 7.4(54)
    QuickTime 7.1.5
    MacOSX 10.4.10
    I use a satellite connection, but work with fairly large graphics files and don't have trouble downloading or uploading.
    Thanks,

    Look in your music library in iTunes - you probably have several entries for wliu (the one I tested). When I clicked on their PLS feed, it appears to load into iTunes but goes immediately to the next song in my library. But I can double click the wliu entry and I get the station.

  • Most radio stations won't play on main user account

    Most radio stations won't play. In some instances double-clicking does nothing; other times, the name of the station appears, but nothing happens. When I use a different administrative account, these stations work just fine.
    I've trashed and retrashed all the associated iTunes preferences, and have even done a complete deletion and re-install of iTunes (as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 ).
    Thus it seems that the issue is with the account. But I don't know where to look to fix it, and I'm perplexed. Any suggestions? Thanks...

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • When leave I nano 4th gen connected to either of my cars it no longer restarts playing when car is restarted. Instead it shows 'no entry' in the song title on the car audio display and won't play until disconnected and reconnected.

    Nano has worked fine for a couple of years being left connected to either one of our cars. However, every time car is restarted it won't play without being disconnected and reconnected. I have done a full restore.
    Current cars are Range Rover Sport 2011 and Jaguar XK 2011.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thanks,

    I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.
