REALLY HAVING PROBLEMS PLAYING MUSIC FROM ITUNES

Trying to play music from my laptop via itunes i can click on the track put it just says the song "******" could not be used because the original file can ot be found would you like to locate it"
What do i do what has caused this and why does it keep happening ?

Sounds to me like iTunes lost track of your music. You should probably search your computer for the files, and then add them back to your library (oh, and when you do that, you should delete the old library entry, unless you like duplicates.)

I am having problems moving music from my computer to my IPhone.

I am having problems moving music from my library to my IPhone. I have everything marked properly and it still won't move to my phone. Any suggestions?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account is not valid in the US store"

Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account is not valid in the US store" As I am new at this I don't know what I can do to remove this problem.

What country are you in ? If you aren't in the US and the address on your account isn't in the US then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select your country.

Need assistance with recent upgrade. I installed 6.1.2 and now my iPad is sluggish and will not play music from iTunes.

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folder within the artist folder.

How do I prevent itunes from moving my music from its original place ie folders in an external drive when I play music from itunes. I have all my music in artist folders and separated by MPG3/MPG4 and FLAC folders within the artist folder and itunes moves the track/s whenever i try and load selected music to my ipod/iphone. I've tried to find some sort of preference to prevent this, but no joy? What am I missing?

Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

Iphoto '11 slideshow does not play music from iTunes

I cannot get iPhoto Slideshow to play music from iTunes. I read one suggestion to go to iTunes > File > Library > Organize Library > and select REORGANIZE library. When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE.
Any suggestions on what I can do?

When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE.
Then your iTunes library is already organized according to the latest format. See this document on the organisation of the iTunes Library :

Sometimes the database files inside your iTunes Library can get corrupted.
Try to rebuild the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" as described here:

I'm not sure if "Consolidate" can help in this situation - it will move all songs into your iTunes Library, so that they can be easier found, but not recreate the datbase files.

I have a 25" 2.8 GHz Intel core 2 Duo working on OS X 10.8.4, within past 2 days we've had the black screen and the white screen, we are up and kicking again but I can leave the computer playing music from iTunes, but within 10 minutes the screen is back.

I can't get rid of the black screen unless I force quit the computer, then it starts ok. Then the process starts all over again.

One weird thing: the drive never mounts on the desktop, the only way I can see it is to click on the TC in 'shared devices' in finder sidebar.
That's normal. A network drive won't mount by itself. You may want to add the drive to your login items and/or the login items of your boy's account.
He came over to update his iPod tonight. Now the library is inaccessible. It says that his account is not authorized for the folder.
Is that a USB drive? How have you defined access to that drive in AirPort Utility? If you set it to "Secure Shared Disks" "With accounts", you'll have to add his account.

Apple TV 3 not playing music from iTunes Match.

Hi Peeps,
I am unable to access music on iTunes Match on ATV 3. However Match works fine on my Windows based PC and my iPhone 5.
I can see all albums and artwork on ATV 3 but when I select to play I get "An error occurred loading this content". Netflix and other app previews etc work fine.
The software is up to date and I have tried restoring and re-booting with no success.
Can anyone help???

Hi Winston,
Thanks for getting back to me my problem is playinhg music from ATV3
I have tried restarting the router but no change.
However the ATV3 has the artist, cover artwork etc. but does not seem to be able to play (stream) and I still get the error message.
My iphone and PC currently play music from Match on the same network as the ATV3. I am even able to airplay music from laptop to ATV3 but not directly from ATV3.
So thanks for your help but this has not fixed the problem. I have never had these problems before.

Apple TV plays music from Itunes for 1 second only

The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks but when I play one the music only plays for 1 second before stopping. Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not. I've reset all of my settings on the Apple TV. Music plays from Itunes out of my laptop when I have the device set to computer. If I select Apple TV as the device, the song wont play and just hangs, but on the television bottom left corner it will show the track information as though it was going to play for one second before it changes to a blank treble clef image labled "untitled". Any ideas?

If I play it from the ATV Menu : The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks. When I play a track the music plays for 1 second and then stops. Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not.
If I play it from Itunes via airplay : The song wont play at all and just hangs, but on the bottom left corner of the TV (that the apple tv is connected to) it will show the track information (Album image + song name) as though it was going to play, but one second later it changes the track information to a blank note image labled "untitled" and no music.

Play music from itunes over wifi on iphone (as soundbridge to Hi-FI)

Hey you all,
is there a tool around to play music over wifi on the iphone?
i have connected the iphone via the dockingstation to my hifi system.
so i can listen to internet streams and so on without using a cable from macbook to my hifi system....
but now i want to play all my music from itunes or another program on my iphone.
hope you know what i want...
i mean, the airport accesspoint can do so !?!?
kind regards
chris

I am not aware of any utility which will stream music from iTunes to the iPhone.
For what you are trying to accomplish, I would recommend the AirPort Express Base station in the Apple Store. A combination of this and the remote app for the iPhone would allow you to stream music to your HiFi system and use the iPhone as a controller - which I can say from personal experience is a very nice combination.
