Slideshow Music tracks won't play

I've tried various iTunes tracks and the perinstalled Aperture themes like Ken Burns, holioday mobile and cuts from the Sample music folder. The tracks won't play in the slide show proper or in the music pane. And it dsoesn't matter if the tracks are added as the main or secondary tracks.
Ive rebuilt and repaired the library, deleted the Aperture plist file from ~Library>Appleication Support>Aperture and removed the presets folder. I've also done a Disk Utility permissions rebuild, Aperture permissions rebuild, Aperture Database rebuild, etc.
What I discovered last night is that Aperture will crash whenever I select Aperture>Presets>Slideshow. Selecting the other presets is fine and the appropriate dialogs will present themselves. When the Slideshow preset is selected, a minature ghost image of the dialog appears for about 2 seconds and then the app crashes.
Here's the first part of the crash log. Any help will be gratly appreciated because I'm trying to put together a slide show for my niece's wedding!!

Sorry, I should have given more details but I've posted variants of this question in many places already, moving to a different forum when advised to by others because it really does seem to be a multi-application problem.
I was sent the slideshow as part of an .rcproject file. They had tried to create a DVD but had been unsuccessful, so just sent me the project from which I could view the slideshow complete with soundtrack.
To find out how it should have been done I asked here about the easiest method in iLife to create a DVD from a slideshow and was told iDVD, but when I added the movie files back in as an intro the slideshow soundtrack disappeared and I couldn't find out where to or how to get it back.

  • IPhone4, iPod app weirdness. Some tracks won't play. [updated]

    Hi all.
    So yesterday on my way to work my iPhone4 stopped playback (iPod app), i pressed the play button, but it just didn't do anything and the track remained unplayed. I click to the next track and that one worked just fine.
    This happen to serval tracks on my way to work and later on my way home, and again this morning. The patten, is that all the music that won't play are coming from a few albums, Hendrix, Red Hot Chilli Peppers blah blah blah.
    I checked those track in iTunes and they played just fine. Also these tracks were downloaded from iTunes. There were not CD rips for downloads from another vender.
    The only thing i did before this happened, was a sync/backup to iCloud that night before (Sunday).
    As yet i have no idea what went wrong. And if you have had this happen and figured it out please let me know. Or if this is happening to you now, what are you doing to figure it out?
    I, right now, am re-uploading all the music. I first removed it, all. Every album, every track. And i'm hoping that by re-installing them all over again will fix this, weird, issue.
    [Update]
    Okay, so the re-install of all the music is done, and i played Jimmy Hendrix through my iPhone4. So i guess that worked. If i have anymore issue like this i'll update this post. But if you are having this same issue, than i suggest that you re-move all the music. Or rather that ones that are stalling. And re-load tham again. As i didn't want to miss any i did the lot. Hope this helps.

    No replies. I've taken to noting the problem tracks and just re-ripping them from their original sources. This seems to fix the symptom at least, if not the cause.

  • I clicked "locate" when prompted, now the track won't play at all even from the hard drive though it's listed in iTunes. Can anyone help?

    I was prompted to "locate" a track, clicked yes, and now the track won't play no matter where I play it from. I've put it on the desktop, added it to library, tried everything - is there an equivalent "reconnect media" function like in Final Cut Pro? I'd be grateful for any help thanks

    Will it play in Quicktime player?  If not it may be corrupt and will have to be reloaded from the original source.

  • TS2289 Audio Track Won't Play

    I imported an audio clip yesterday and it worked fine. Today when I opened my project, there was a yellow warning triangle in the top left above the first frame of my movie and the audio track won't play. What should I do?
    And where the heck is the "clock buttom"? I wasn't able to follow Apple Support's suggestions because I can't find it.
    Mike

    I've adjusted my project according to Brian'statement, so I made all audio tracks and video track the same length, but it still doesn't work when I create the flash file. It plays only 1 audio track, whatever language you choose. It plays the audio track that is"active" in the project. This happens only with the flash. If I burn a DVD, then everything works fine... Am I doing something wrong ?

  • IPhone 5 music app won't play. Stuck in infinite shuffle.

    I recently received my iPhone 5 and everything went smoothly setting it up from backup. However, the music.app opens but is continuously shuffling. Music won't play. It will just cycle through songs without playing anything. My question is am I going to have to restore it or am I going to have to wait on an update? And yes I have already done a hard reset. Thanks!

    I saw in one of the other similar posts that a person said to unclick the "sync music" box, sync, click the sync music again, disconnect, reconnect, and then re-sync.  I missed the disconnect and reconnect part, so it didn't work, but when I disconnected/reconnected, it worked.  It was as if my phone didn't fully sync previously because it literally had to sync all of my music.  However, now the endless shuffling and greyed out lists are gone.  It works just as it should!  Hope this works for you too! 

  • 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.

  • Songs in Itunes Music Folder Won't Play

    My Itunes will frequently not play songs that are clearly in the Itunes music folder and can be found. When trying to drag the song into itunes to play it will not play either. Windows Media Player and Winamp will play the songs. Basically I don't understand why it won't play the songs that are in it's folder.

    Usually, it is corrupted MP3 tag headers.

  • Music track skipping and playing silence on iPhone

    Some music tracks play sections of silence, others are skipping randomly like a scratched record. This happens when playing on the built-in speakers or on headphones. Tracks affected can be either CD imports or iTunes purchases.
    I have the latest iTunes update, I have iOS4, I have re-synched, restored the phone multiple times, checked my hard drive... What can be the cause of this? I am prepared to do whatever it takes to solve the problem but I have run out of ideas. The Genii Apple Store have no idea what's causing it.
    iPhone is proving not to be viable as a music player. I now have to carry my old iPod in addition to my iPhone if I want music.
    anyone? please ??

    MP3 is a lossy compression - the more you do it the more your music tracks will degrade. Re-encoding the songs which have already been encoded will gradually reduce the quality (much the same as photocopying a photocopy). If you really need to re-encode something it's best to take it from the source, i.e. rip from CD again.
    Obviously this would be a bit time consuming for all your tracks, but I think if you really had to do this with your entire music collection every time iTunes is upgraded there must be something seriously wrong with iTunes.
    If you have track problems there's probably something in your computer software which is conflicting with the processes going on in iTunes. In my case it appears to be my antivirus. Do a bit of detective work and try switching a few things off to narrow it down, but you shouldn't have to go through a laborious process of re-encoding which will eventually degrade the quality of your music.

  • Purchased music that won't play

    I used to have the iPhone 4 now I have the 4s.  Some of the music I purchased on the iPhone 4 seems to have transferred but not correctly.  The info is on the 4s for the music but when I click a song it won't play it skips to the next available song.  So far it's only been 1 album and a couple of songs that I had purchased on the 4.  I've tried resyncing the music library several times both by just resyncing and by wiping the music off.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Turns out that he was right in that for some reason I had to reauthorize my computer.  However, I felt it completely odd considering they played on my previous phone from my mac and it was my Apple ID.  So weird.  So I authorized the computer and it worked they play now.

  • Track won't play!

    I have a song that won't play, even though it's been authorized, and I have not exceeded computers to play it on. It just skips over the track. I paid for it through iTunes.

  • Section of my track won't play...

    I use GB for a podcast.
    I recorded some voice, when in and did some snipping and joining of a few track segements.  Then recorded a new section on the same track, but the new section won't play.  I can see there are sounds recorded, but when I play, I don't hear anything.  If I go back to the 1st recorded section - remember this is all the same track - it WILL play.
    I'm confused.

    Hello alysoftball1
    There are a few things to try. The first is if it is purchased, just delete the songs and download them again from the purchases section in iTunes. The second is to try and convert the songs to a different format. The article below will assist with that further.

  • Instrument track won't play (appears grey)

    All of a sudden my grand piano track is grey and won't play back. All of my other tracks work and it is NOT on mute.
    I don't think I did anything differently. The only thing I can think of is that I was tinkering with audio filters for this instrument track. Could that have caused it?
    How do I fix it? I don't want to have to re-record the whole thing. I'm too far ahead to do that....
    Thanks! I'm waaaay to frustrated to continue. 3 hours wasted it feels like.

    I will try the M button but here's why I don't think it will work:
    If I copy the track's contents into a new empty track, the new track doesn't play.

  • Purchased music videos won't play

    The 2 iTunes music videos I bought won't play.
    When I try to play either one, the error message reads
    "If you purchased this song you can open iTunes and authorize this computer to play this song by entering you Apple ID and password"
    It never gives a prompt for the password.
    iTunes IS open, and all of my other purchases (non movies) play. I could play all of the videos when they were free on iTunes and never had problems.
    I tried deauthorizing, then reauthorizing my computer--that didn't change anything.
    I've been scouring the help section with no success. Please help!

    Nick A,
    You may want to deauthorize and then reauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases. For information on deauthorizing/reauthorizing please take a look at this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.6/en/15281.html
    You do not need to format any purchases from the iTunes Store, they are already correctly formatted.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.
