Transferred music in iTunes not playing?

I just got a new iPhone and MacBook. I transferred all of my purchased music (purchased from iTunes) to my new computer on my new appleID. All of the songs transferred, but it won't play. The songs have a small dotted circle next to the name in my iTunes library, and all the song titles are in grey, and not black. None of the songs will play, and none of them will sync onto my new iPhone. I've tried sooo many things but I can't figure it out. Does anyone know what the dotted circle is? And how can I get my purchased music onto my new phone?

I think it has to do with the songs not being checked... I noticed that once I check songs, it will continuously play. Is there a fast way to check all songs?? I don't why they aren't all checked.

Music from iTunes not playing on my iPhone 5

I Just installed iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5 (new, reconditioned) and now my music will not play. Only music that i purchased and downloaded from iTunes will play. all of the music plays fine on my computer and iPad. My old iPhone 5 played all of my music without any problem.

I have transferred all my music from iTunes onto my USB to play on my car audio radio. The radio reads the music but does not play it in sequence. There is a specific way to save the music into folders and name them. I have a Pioneer DEH-2350UBSW.

I have transferred all my music from iTunes onto my USB to play on my car radio. The radio reads the music but does not play it in sequence. So it plays certain folders, then it skips folders. in certain folders it skips tracks. apparently there is a specific way to save the music into folders onto the USB with regard to naming the tracks and folders.. I have a Pioneer DEH-2350UBSW. Can anyone please help.

It is a stick, Cruzer Blade 16gig.
In the manual it says the following about the USB storage device:
1. Playable folder hierarchy is up to 8 tiers
2. Playable folders up to 500
3. Playable files up to 15 000
Under sequence of audio files it says that the user cannot assign folder numbers and specify playback sequences with this unit. It also gives an example of a hierarchy:
01 - folder
Under that is 02 which is also a folder
Under that are compressed audio files 01 to 05: folder number
Under that there is another folder same concept as above - I have attached that part of the manual in this response.
I named my folder - Folder 001 Artists name and then in that folder I added the tracks as:
001 Song title
002 song title
It played the 1st song in the folder and skipped to the next folder, I can't even locate the other tracks.
On another folder I saved 31 songs but only 29 played so I am not sure whether there is a limit.
All I need is an example of how to number and name everything.

Windows iTunes not playing any music

I have iTunes and just recently it is not playing music. Other music files will not play as I have set iTunes as my default player. But videos will play. Also, when I play music on another media player like Windows Media Player and RealPlayer music plays. In iTunes the pinhead telling the time of the song does not move. On my keyborad I have always been able to press a button that would raise, lower or mute audio. I cannot change the volume of the computer and whenever i press the mute button it says "Mute Off" no matter how many times I push it. Finally, in the bottom right hand corner of the computer where the small icons are there used to be a volume control button. That is no longer there and I have set Windows to always have it in the toolbar. If anyone could help me it would be great! Thanks.

okay, that rules out a creepy possibility.
let's try for some more standard problems.
if you're running itunes 5.0.0.35, 5.0.1.3, 6.0.0.18 or 6.0.1.3
try:
iTunes for Windows: Audio files do not play in iTunes 5 or 6
if you're running a higher version of itunes, or the compatibility settings thing doesn't seem to be a factor
try a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.4 installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes play back properly again?

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture. Same with the iPod. Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

Error in rendering/encoding in iDVD v 7.1.2 with MacMini & music in intro not playing

I am having some difficulty in creating a DVD in iDVD. I've created 50+ home DVDs before, but now I am getting this error message every time:
Error in rendering/encoding
"There was an error during rendering/encoding of the menus/slideshows. The burning process has been canceled."
My process is the same every time:
1. I use iMovie and export the movie,
2. Add it into a new iDVD project, add music etc.
3. Click Burn
I have cleared the iDVD cache, tried to recreate the project several times, tried to save the project as a disc image or video_ts folder and get the same error every time.
Additionally, I cannot get any music from itunes to play in the intro. I've tried music from itunes purchases and music i've added via my cds. I've never had an issue either playing in the intro before.
I am wondering if my DVD burner gave out. If so, is there a way to check that? Can I create the DVD image up to the point of burning and use homesharing to burn onto another Mac in the house (none of them have iDVD, but all can burn)?
Help!

What version of iMovie are you using and how are you exporting out of iMovie to iDVD?
Where is your iTunes library located. Some have reported problems with getting iTunes tracks to play when the library was on an external HD.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If you can create a disk image of the project that will play with DVD Player then we've narrowed down the problem to the burn process.
Can you burn a DVD data disk via the finder?

Yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problem

yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problems.

DustinMedlam, I have the same exact problem. I started using my Iphone 4S for shooting video about 2 months ago and tranferred them to my Windows machine with Windows 7. I use the clips in Sony Vegas pro 11 and make short movies. I upgraded to ios 6 last week and every video that I shoot with my iphone 4S now is not usable in Quictime or Sony Vegas???? My old videos from before ios 6 play just fine and I can use them in Sony Vegas with no problems. The only way to play the files is with Windows media player. this does me no good as I just began making short films and now I can not use any of the video I have shot since ios 6. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I shoot video with it and use the clips in Sony Vegas with no issues!?? I can not believe this is not BLOWING up on the internet like the WIFI issue is..... What do we do? All my video gear is for my Iphone not my galaxy S2. This is very annoying. I also notice that no one from Apple response to these support forums. So why are they available?? What a JOKE!

After a long session upgrading to 5.0, I am left in a position where my music library will not play! The tunes can be selected and appear normal - but am unable to initiate the music to play.

After upgrading to 5.0. Music will not play. Have tried several reloads etc, but it still remains inactive. All other apps seem to work OK
Any ideas?

I did check the Automatic downloads were switched on. The music is still not playing although the icons and all controls are present, the song does not initiate.

Music playlists do not play in order

Music playlists do not play in order. How do turn off that function and get playlists to play in order?

In the Music app in iOS6, white is still off, but on is orange, for both the shuffle function and the repeat function. As before, the repeat widget is a three-state toggle, with two on states - a plain racetrack for repeating the album or playlist, or a racetrack with a smaller circle containing a "1" superimposed on it for repeating a single track.
I don't know what happens if both suffle and repeat are on, maybe it creates a hole in space-time.
By the way, I tapped on the artwork many times before the additional song controls appeared.

Transferring music from itunes to ipod

Trouble transfering music from itunes to my iopd. have updated ipod but still having trouble.

OK so first thing is, is the iPod set for manual or auto updating? If you are using iTunes 7, click on the iPod icon in iTunes and check the settings. For earlier versions go to iTunes preferences and pick the iPod. Typically you have three choices, Auto Updating, Auto Updating of selected playlists only, and finally Manual updating.
And to clear up your confusion, yes, you can always import your own CDs and put that music on your iPod without restriction.

Transferring music from itunes on to a different iphone

transferring music from itunes on to a different iphone, why doesn't it work?

Perhaps you can provide some additional details as to your issue then you'll get some helpful responses.

How can I move music from iTunes to play on other devices?

How can I move music from iTunes to play on other devices? thanks

If you want to drag and drop, then check manually manage music.
I much prefer syncing playlists to this option.
