Songs stop playing after upgrading to Windows Vista

I upgraded to Windows Vista Business the released version.
After the upgrade I started iTunes 7.02 and tried to play a song. It required me to reauthorize my song. Unfortunately, I had 5 computers already authorized so I just went to the iTune Store to deauthorized all my computers and reauthorizes the upgraded Vista computer.
After reauthorization, I still cannot play my songs. ITunes pops up with the message that my songs needs authorization. I authorize the song and it says it is okay but will not play the song.
I can still buy stuff from the iTunes Store but cannot play them or sync them with my ipod.
Has the Apple testers ran into this problem?
This is a problem for Apple since Windows Media Player works for Zune. It's sad what Microsoft has done.
    Windows Vista

I finally solved my problem and here is how I did it:
- De-authorized my computer
- Uninstall iTunes
- Re-install iTunes
Now make sure you have another user account with administrator privileges.
- Logged out of my user account
- Logged in using the built in Administrator account
- Launched iTunes from this account
- Launched Windows Explorer and double clicked on one of my purchased songs.
- Enter your password when the popup window for the password is shown.
My song started to play.
- Exited iTunes and logged out of that account.
- Logged back into my user account.
- Launched iTunes, and I was ok.

  • Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

    Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
    Thank you.

    This has started to happen to me too.

  • HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

    When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

    I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
    I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

    Hi,
    Have you checked in the Device Manager to see if all drivers are installed since upgrading? (look for yellow exclamation points)
    Uninstall the AMD driver and catalyst control center. Install the version  located in the download section of the web support portal for your sleekbook.It will install both driver (intel and AMD) and also switchable graphics capability if it previously existed.
    Best regards,

  • Some songs stop playing after minute 1

    I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and the majority of them have this issue, they stop playing after minute 1 or 1:30.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
    BTW the tracks that cut short, did you preview each of those for the full minute or minute 30? There's a bit of me that thinks the previews and the short downloads might be related to each other.

  • WRT54G wireless not working after upgrading to windows vista, please help

    Hello everyone....
    I have a few problems. I upgraded to Windows Vista and cant seem to get my wireless internet working. My router is WRT54G wireless-g broadband router. Ever since I upgraded Vista my xbox 360 will not connect.
    I just bought a new wireless web camera and that does not work either because the wireless is not working.
    Any suggestions on what I should do to solve this issue?
    I noticed when I goto 192.168.1.1 my firmware version is Firmware Version: v3.03.9 does that have anything to do with it? Is there a more up-to-date version that will help?
    Hope to hear from someone.

    I have the same problem, and so does my son, he has a toshiba satellite new laptop and I have an acer new laptop, both have Vista on them, and my wife has XP and has no problem getting on teh router, but i have this problem everyday.
    Eventually it will all of a sudden show up and connect and start working, then if you laeave your computer in standby movde overnight, it will still work in the morning, but if you shut down comeplety you will lose the connection for who knows how long. what is the fix Linksys?

  • Newly purchased songs stop playing after 12 seconds

    I have reviewed many posts on this topic and have yet to find what appears to be a solution.
    Here is what is going on:
    I recently upgraded my system from an aged laptop running xp home to the current desktop running xp pro.
    My collection of songs include from CD's and from apple store. I transferred over the songs only but not the library to the new system.
    All the old songs seem to play just fine.
    I have now purchased some new songs on the new system. These new songs will play for 8-12 seconds and then stop and play the next song for 8-12 songs, then stop and etc until it reaches one of the songs collected from the previous system. Then it plays those completely.
    What I have done so far:
    1. Deleted the authorization file. re-authorized the songs. The same songs are still stopping at the same interval 8-12 seconds.
    2. Played the songs in quicktime. The same songs still stop after 8-12 seconds.
    3. I disabled anti-spyware, and anti-virus programs. same issue remains.
    4. I ran a McAfee AntiVirus scan and came up clean.
    Again these songs were all downloaded successfully from the Apple Ipod store. I have the latest version of ITunes now.
    Any suggestions?

  • Airport does not work after upgrade to windows vista SP1

    Hi,
    I have a MBP running windows vista 32 bit under bootcamp. For some of my professional software, I need windows. Up to now, everything runs OK.I've upgrade to bootcamp 2.1 and everything still runs just fine. However, I wanted to install SP1 because it fixes some of Vista's (many) flaws. After installing SP1 (it downloads automatically), e.g. airport does not function anymore - it just does not see the wireless anymore (it looks like on my MBP it does no longer find the drivers for e.g. the wireless card). Uninstalling SP1 fixes the problem but brings me back to square 1. Any solutions? Thanks.

  • Songs stop playing after a short time

    Can some one please help me with this? I have down loaded a couple of songs out of many downloads from Itunes that play for 1 or 2 minutes and then stop. But if I fast forward over the part that skips the song will play to the end with no further problems. I've re-downloaded the songs, upgraded my nano and reset it to factory defaults and then reloaded the whole play list. None of this has helped and it is the same songs that have the problem.

  • WiFi (Key) stopped working after upgrade to Windows 10

    I thought I would post this on the forum for those who are having the same problem because help for this issue is few and far between compared to the number of pleas for assistance from HP owners. When I upgraded to Windows 10 on my Pavilion, the WiFi stopped working and I could not turn it on using the hot key (F12). I searched for answers and worked hours trying to solve it until I came upon the only suggestion that worked for me: I had to disable fast boot (power options, change what the buttons do, "change settings that are currently unavailable" (?!?)) , so I could get into the bios and then I went into the bios by pressing f10 during boot.  Reset them to defaults.  (Changed from default back to what I wanted) saved and the wifi button turned white after pressing during windows 10 boot up. EDIT: If it does not turn on right away, try turning it on through the wifi settings. I hope this can help a few, who like me, struggled endlessly for a problem that few HP mods seem to be responding to. Cheers.

    Put your part number (PSKK2U-028002) in here. It will take you to a page that has 12 Windows 10-compatible downloads. Unfortunately, a WiFi driver is not one of them.
    But there is this:
    Your selected Toshiba PC is supported for upgrade to Windows 10, but not all of the software for the upgrade is available at this time. Additional software will be posted here when it is ready. Please check back at a later time.

  • Songs stop playing after about 2 minutes

    Certain songs in my iTunes library stop playing near the end and there is only silence.  It doesn't happen with every song so I can't predict which ones will behave this way.  Any ideas?

    I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
    I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
    Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

  • Songs stop playing after 45 seconds

    I have the ipod classic and it seems like some of the songs are stopping after 45 seconds of play. The timer says the whole song is there and I checked my computer library and it plays all the way thru on the computer.

    I, too, am having this issue. I have the 5th gen iPod nano using the latest software on Windows XP Pro fully patched.
    I had imported songs from Windows Media Player, all of which were ripped from CD.
    I had read other posts on the 'net that the conversion process may have messed up timing and the song cuts off. However, The track plays fine on iTunes. Given that scenario I deleted the offending track from iTunes library and iPod and re-ripped from CD using iTunes at 256kpbs. This has not solved the problem.
    I took the drastic measure of using the restore to factory option and re-sync'd with iTunes. This did not solve the issue either.
    /facepalm
    Any thoughts??

  • Keyboard stopped working after upgrading to Windows 10

    I just upgraded my HP Pavilion X2 to Windows 10 and the keyboard stopped working.  Is there an update from HP that can correct this issue?

    , Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  The only option you have at the moment is to run the windows update troubleshooter and run any update recommended or optional.  If that does not fix it then you will need to roll back to the original supported operating system the x2 was built to run on. Here is the link for the troubleshooter. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter Please let me know how things go.  Thanks again for the post and have a great day. 

  • Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

    windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
    the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
    anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

    The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
    VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

  • Plug and play speakers not working properly after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    After upgrading to Windows 8.1, my plug and play speakers do not work properly.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled them, and restarted.  When I try to play music, nothing comes out.  If I turn them off and back on, music will play for approximately 30 seconds, only from one speaker, then it turns off and fades to no sound.  They worked fine until I upgraded to Windows 8.1.  The manufacturer has not been able to successfully assist me.  Has anyone else reported a similar issue after upgrading OS software?  Any suggestions?  These are fairly new speakers, less than 2 years old, and not used very much.  I do have them installed via a K-V switch, and all other devices linked to the K-V switch are functioning properly (monitor and wireless keyboard).  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
