Song Preview Help

Hey, I need help,
When I pull up iTunes and go to the music store and click an album I like and want to sample the cover shows up but there are no songs. None, it's completely blank below the album cover picture. Any ideas?

Veronica,
Be sure you are running iTunes 4.9 or later.

Song preview does not play

The song preview does not play although I have a high speed internet access and the account on my computer is activated.
All purchased songs can be played without problems. Deactivating windows firewall and my virus scanner (GData) does not help.
Does anybody have an idea?

Previews didn't work the first day Sarah Brightman's new album hit the Music Store. The next day, they worked. I think it's temporary glitch with the store from time to time.

Song Preview in iTunes Store doesn´t work anymore

Since I updated my MacBook (MBP July 09 - 10.5.8) I can´t listen to "Song Previews" in the iTunes Stre anymore.
When I click the "preview" button a window pops up asking me for entering my iTunes Account password. When I click "authorize" another window pops up saying that "This computer is already activated. 4 / 5 of your computers are activated".
When I click on the preview button again the same procedure as described starts again.
Does anyone experience the same problem or knows how to solve this?
Greetings and thanks ind advance
Clemens

I'm having the same issue with my Mac Pro. It asks to authorize (though of course this machine IS authorized), then after I type in the password it helpfully says this computer is authorized blah blah.
but the previews STILL do not play.
I tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing. No joy.
the old iTunes Store did not have this problem.

Pre-loading iTunes song previews: how?

I recall a few years ago iTunes had an option (via Preferences>Store tab) that allowed you to pre-load song previews rather than streaming them instantly, which was great for those unfortunate ones still on dial-up, etc. This option hasn't been in successive iterations of iTunes since.
I'm wondering if there is any way to regain this ability via Terminal command, Applescript or something. Can anyone help me out here? I just want a smoother iTunes Music Store experience when I've used up my monthly download quota and have my speed dropped down from ADSL2+ speed to 64kbps. A response would be most greatly appreciated.

A forumer on macrumors.com suggested I type in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes load-complete-preview-before-playing 1
I input the command in Terminal, opened iTunes, went into the music store, clicked on a random song and it did prebuffer the stream initially. Unfortunately after the first second it reverted back to its old behaviour ie. playing music for 5 seconds, rebuffering, play for another 5 seconds, rebuffer, etc.

"Connecting to URL" Everytime I try to listen to song preview

Why on earth is this happening? Everytime I try to listen to a song preview I get a message and a little window saying "connecting to URL" and it takes forever!!! I have high speed internet and never had problems with iTunes previous versions.
Anyone else having same problem?
THanks!

Same thing. I press play on a preview and a thing comes up saying opening url and connecting... under it. After a while it dissapears and the preveiw stays at 0.00 and nothing happens. SOMEONE HELP!!

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

ITunes 10.6.3 not playing song previews at all

Since Wednesday my iTunes 10.6.3 is not palying song previews at all. Clicking the play radio button shows it response as poitning at it I can see teh stop button. But no sound no movement on the playback progress bar at the top. I have upgared to Mountain Lion but this problem started a week before the upgrade. I have reinstalled iTunes twice and checked on my other Macbook same problem. Frustrating as one cannot buy song beofre previewing.

Hi,
yes I understand that. I assume that your mac is "authorized"? You might also have a problem with IPV6 causing interferrence. Have a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3202188?start=0&tstart=0
to turn off IPV6.

Whenever I go to preview a song in itunes, the song with play out for about 10 seconds and then stop. Why isn't the song previews working? How can I fix this? I tried updating my itunes and it didn't work.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play start to finish.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.

My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.

Cell background colors are not showing in preview - help? - DW4

Hi,
I created a horizontal table for my menu bar, and gave each cell a different color by creating a separate class for each with background image - image is a block of color created in Photoshop. In design mode they look they way I want, but in preview (Safari) the colors don't show up at all - the whole area is gray, and all I see is the text for each cell. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Alternatively, is there a better way I can set this up to have different colors for each button?
Thank you!

Here is the HTML code, and the CSS code for the menu bar follows:
     ul.MenuBarHorizontal
></style><style type="text/css"><!body {     background-color: #FFF;     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}-->
    h1.
     ul.MenuBarVertical

NEED to see the code.
Otherwise it's like dialing a random phone number, and asking whoever answers, where you left your keys.

'NO download for song previews' policy in iOS application?

Let's say I need to create an application where the user needs to play a song (among other things). I will offer him the possibility to play one of the songs from his device or a song from iTunes. I will let user to chose between the free 30 sec. song or the full song to buy and then use it as he intended.
Either way I need to download the song in my app to complete the app purpose (work offline for exemple). There is the possibility that the user needs to play the song only for 30s (or less) in the app so the song previews would be just perfect for that (as it is free).
Apple says you can not download the song previews in the application: http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/blog/song-previews.html
But is it possible to do so using another Apple service or another way?
The reason I ask, is that I found applications on AppStore that use the song previews from iTunes (but maybe I'm wrong here, and it's not iTunes) and synchronize it with a video (then post it on, let's say Facebook, with no iTunes badge), which is certainly not allowed by Apple as it's seen in the link above.
Thanks!

I would suggest you with a Immediate resolution by downloading the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS 6, while installation you can activate the subscription by clicking on License this software or Start My Subscription.

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy!

Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2

After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
- Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
- reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);
