The sound from certain TV shows I bought on my iPad will not play through AirPlay on Apple TV.

I recently bought a couple of tv shows on my ipad. When I play them through airplay on my apple tv, only some play the audio while others do not at all. For example, Downtown Abbey plays perfectly (sound and video) while Homeland does not (only video). I am using an original ipad, and a new apple tv. Any ideas? I updated the software on the appletv and still nothing!

I've been having this problem since the new Apple Tv update. I wish Apple would address the issue but I've found out the new update changed my audio settings within the AppleTV. Go to settings>>Audio & Video>> then scroll down to the Dolby Digital setting and if it says ON (on,Auto,off) then switch it to Auto.. and presto you have audio again.. Found this out myself when I was about to rewatch the League season 1.. For some reason I orginaly had it set to auto but the new update changed it to On. Really getting sick and tired of Apple lately.

I can listen to ITunes on my ipad on a headset but they will not play through the speaker

I can play I tunes on my iPad and listen on a headset but the iPad will not play through the built in speaker

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't

My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Why did a cd i bought show up on my iphone but will not play

I bought some cds on iTunes. I had my phone plugged into my computer charging. I have no yet synced my iphone with my new computer so it was just charging. When I went to play music off of my phone later I noticed that the music I had purchased was on my phone but I could not play it. How can I play it?

Hey arp986,
Thanks for the question. With the introduction of iOS 7, you can now see your entire purchase history from within the Music application:
Download purchased music to your iPhone - iTunes Store - iPhone Basics - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/kb/TI126
To play the purchased content, simply download it to your device by tapping the cloud icon.
Additional information:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Purchased songs show up on my ipod but will not play!

I am about ready to drive over my ipod with a car! I have the 80GB ipod and it was working fine until recently. For whatever reason, songs that I had previously (as in months ago) purchased on itunes show up on my ipod, but do not play. All other songs (ones that I downloaded from cd's) show up and play. I have tried everything I can think of but it still won't get them to play! HELP!

See this.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

Sound will not play through external speakers

I just bought my IPod two days ago and suddenly it will not play music through the speakers anymore and is stuck in headphone mode. I have tried plugging and unplugging the headphones several times to see if it would work, but it would not. Is there a solution for this?

You can try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod from backup
- Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If those do not work you likely have a hardware problem.

I purchased the iPhone 4S 32 GB and my headphones and car jack will NOT play in the left speaker of either. Have had the iPhone since late February , can't get ANY help........

I have the iPhone 4S 32 GB and the headphones that came with it will NOT play in left ear. It will also NOT play in my car left speaker when using the auxiliary connection in my car.............. Have only had since February 26, 2012, can't get HELP anywhere , disappointed

Where have you tried to get help?
basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
If that fails, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

Why does the option to watch a movie even appear if it then will not play because not downloaded? Worse, then only 23hrs left to watch!! Paying for what is not delivered!!

ITUNES: Why does the option to "watch movie now" appear & when chosen movie will not play because still downloading. WHY SHOULD THE OPTION APPEAR IF MOVIE CAN"T BE PLAYED. Then when movie is viewable, only 23hrs to watch! PAYING FOR MOVIES WITHOUT OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW does not make happy consumer. Emailed Itunes over and over about problem and stilll paying for services unrendered.

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

My ipad will not play videos after the last ios 7.0.3 update, help!?!

Will not play Netflix, my videos or other videos (network apps downloaded ABC, CW etc).
I tried to re-install clear my internet history. I also waited until it was full charged.
Not sure what to do, everything else is working perfect.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

My Ipad will not play a certain song in my playlist. How do I fix this?

One song in my Itunes playlist will not play on my Ipad, but does on my computer. How do I fix it?

Have you tried to restart it by holding down the lock and home button at the same time.

My iMac will not play through it's speakers. Also, can't adjust the sound settings because it shows as non changeable.

When I press any of the sound keys on my keyboard (mute, louder, quieter), the normal thing on the bottom pops up when you change the volume using the keyboard keys. However, the speaker icon appears dark gray with a slash through it. The volume shows all the way up, but below the volume there is a little circle with a slash through it. When I went to Sound under System Preferences, I could not change anything. It all appeared as if there was no setting for that option. For example, I couldn't check or uncheck any of the boxes under 'Sound.' I don't know what the problem is. I have researched it and seen other problems similar to this, but I can't find a good, valid answer as of what will fix this problem. Please help! Thanks!

Could be one of 2 problems. Is there an optical cable plugged in to the headphone jack?
If not it seems you have the same problem as I had. My iMac got put in for repair and they damaged a little switch in the headphone jack, if it's under Applecare they will fix it. If not carefully try a cotton bud (Q-tip in America) in the port.

The sound from certain TV shows I bought on my iPad will not play through AirPlay on Apple TV.
