Transferred songs and now can't play songs

I just transferred some purchased songs from my computer onto my son's computer using my iPod. His computer and mine are both authorized to play the songs. I can play the songs on his computer in iTunes, but can't play anything (including songs I imported from CDs) on my computer! When I click on a song to play it, it lists at the top of iTunes, but won't play!
Any ideas?

Just realized that something was wrong the sound on my system, not iTunes!

I've had itunes on my laptop for over a year; it seems to arbitrarily duplicate songs and now, instead of 800 songs, I have 3,500 with 2,700 being dupes. How do I get rid of the dupes?

How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library

Please Help!!! My misuse will kill me if find out that we have no more videos from our honeymoon...

You may need to prepare yourself for a "World of Hurt" from your wife...
Since the average 0.9 megapixel JPEG photo file of normal graphic complexity stored at a high quality compression setting is 125-135 KBs in size, I would have to assume any QT video files you created of more than a fraction of a second in duration were most likely saved as "reference" files to only be 50-150 KBs. Basically, a reference file is q QT (MOV) file that tells a video player how to play data that is still stored in its original source file container(s). For instance, you could trim and merge a number of files together and save the result as a "reference" file that takes up very little room on your hard drive. Or, you could post fles to a server and create a "reference" file that is small enough to be sent as an email attachment that plays the uploaded data on someone else's computer as long as they are connected to the Internet. Unfortunately, for these reference files to work, all of the resources referenced within the file must continue to exist in their proper locations in order to be found and played by the reference. Since you did not indicate what "but they won't play" really means here or how you actually "moved" your iPhoto library files to the external drive, I can only make some "educated guesses" at this point. (BTW: for future reference, iPhoto has a built-in function that allows you to copy your library to one or more back-up locations and then connect to them by default when iPhoto opens or switch source libraries at will within the opened application.)
If you created reference files and saved them to an external drive, you should be getting an error message telling you the app needs to know where the source files are located so the reference file can re-connect to the resource data. If the original files were also saved, then simple navigate to the source files in oder to tell the app where they are now located. If the source files were deleted as part of the reformatting process, then you are up the proverbial creek whithout a paddle with little or no hope of doing anything about this issue. (I.e., reformatting and then re-installing a system drive usually means you would have little hope of recovering the specific "lost" data you want as there is always a good chance that some of the data segments were overwritten during the process.)

My ipod connects to my vehicle and displays the song and I can shuffle the songs but no sound comes out.

My ipod connects to my GMC sierra with the cord and the display comes up on the radio with the song name and I can change the songs but no sound comes out. I have plugged in my daughters Ipod touch and it connects with sound just fine. When I plug headphones into my ipod it works just fine. HELP!!

my ipod touch has the same problem. I restored it three times, but that can't help.

I emptied trash with itunes in it accidentally and now can't play any songs on itunes what can i do?

so i needed to clear disk space so i could use imovie more, so i put a load of stuff in trash and emptied it, but somehow i stupidly put itunes there too, so now when on itunes i can't play any songs because it keeps asking me to "Locate" it, which i can't do because it doesn't exist anymore arrrggh! i can't use any of my songs on imovie either, it's very frustrating. If there is any way at all that i could recover the songs so i could play them on itunes then that would be great-
thanks,
Hamish

Hi,
If you don't have a back up, you have lost your music.
If you have iTunes Store purchases, you can go into iTunes Store and redownload previous purchases.

Have recently had update and now can't delete songs or podcasts?

I recently downloaded the latest update from iTunes and since then have not been able to delete unwanted tracks or podcasts. I don't think I've changed any settings.

I have the same problem with the update (via Software Update). I am running OS 10.6.8 on a Mac Air and when I updated iTunes to 10.4, the Delete function in the menu is greyed out and I can't delete podcasts or music using the menus. I can, however, drag the podcast to the trash. Does anyone have the same problem or better yet a solution?

Upgraded and now can't play anything in my library or in the store preview

So I upgraded to 6.0.1.3 and then found that none of my songs in the library would play and nothing in the music store can be previewed.
A sad situation over the festivities and grateful for any help

I took the drastic step of reformatting the drive. You need a day to do it for back up of all your files, planning how to reload the software, and of course an operating system disk. Luckily I had that as the recovery disks didn't work. You also need to know where to get the drives when the recovery disks don't work and the sony download taxi did the trick.

MISSING ITUNES SONGS AND HOW CAN YOU PUT SONGS FROM IPOD ONTO ITUNES?

i opened my itunes one day and all 654 of my songs were GONE. the entire itunes was blank, as if it was newly installed. it wasn't.
I have an ipod mini, and that still contains the songs since i did not attach my ipod to my computer when i saw that it was empty. my ipod still has 654 songs. But the problem is, that i wont be able to put new songs if my itunes is blank.
How do you transfer songs from the ipod to the itunes? Usually when you connect the ipod, it automatically updates, so how will i be able to do that. I have new CDs and i want to put some of those songs on my ipod, but i wont be able to do that if my itunes makes my ipod blank. I called apple support but it costs 29 freaking dollars to help me.
Can anyone help?

okay, well it has been a long time since i have done this, but i will try to do it to the best of my memory.
uninstall itunes.
then reinstall it.
plug your ipod in.
a box will pop up that says something like would you like to connect your ipod to this library?
click NO.
then, on the sidebar there should be a boldfaced DEVICE sign.
your ipod should show up.
go to summary
then check managely manage my music, and then update.
this means that when you plug your ipod in, you will have to put the music in yourself. this is good because you can pick and choose, and you can delete songs off your ipod if you do not like it anymore. also, you have the ability to play the music on your computer when your ipod is plugged in. hope that helps..

How do I get my security settings to allow access to yahoo games I have been playing for years and now can't play with this P.O.S. update 26.0 and Java update?

I recently updated my Firefox browser to version 26.0 and my Java to version 7 update 51 and now I can't access any of the Yahoo games I have played for years. I get a box that says "your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running. Also, the box has two other lines; Name: ygames_applet and Location: http://yog10.games.sp2.yahoo.com. After all this time, this browser and my Chrome browser both give me this crap when I try to log in to yahoo games.

Changed e-mail associated and now can't play anything

I recently changed my e-mail from a very old hotmail account to a gmail account. I did this through my iTunes account management. After changing my e-mail I can not play anything that was purchased before. This has affected many season passes and music that I have downloaded and need to know if there is a way to fix this. I tried to de-authorize and then re-authorize my computer, but that didn't work. Changing the e-mail back to my old one also did not work. Anyone have any ideas, or did I just lose out on a lot of money? I would assume that it is my apple ID, not my e-mail that the purchases would go by. When I look in my account history it still shows all of my purchases. Thanks!

Updated iTunes and now can't remove songs from my iPod - please help

I've updated iTunes to version 11.0.0.163 and have an iPod Nano 16gb 5th generation.
In iTunes, I'm no longer able to manually select songs to remove them from my iPod - I can't even see the list of music that's on my iPod. The only option it gives me is to sync, and I don't want to do that. Before I upgraded iTunes, it was easy to move music between my iPod and iTunes, now I can't - what's happened?
My iPod is full so I want to remove some music, not all of it. Any advice? Please help - I'm going round in circles!
Thanks

Ctrl + B for show Top Menu
View > Show Sidebar
itunes will now look more like itunes 10.
You can click on your device in the lefthand window as before
You may prefer to use the Music Sync page to select or deselect Playlists, Artists, Albums etc and click apply.
Delete your files is enabled by ticking the Manualy manage music option on the Device Summary page. You may have to scroll down to find it

I mistakenly downloaded the explicit version of a song and now can't seem to delete it. I've put the file in the trash, I've deleted it in my music library but everytime I sync my phone to my computer it reappears. Help! This is so frustrating.

I purchased an explicit version of a song by mistake. I then went back on line and purchased the clean version. I've deleted it from my itunes library but when I sync it with my phone, it reappears. How do I remove it permanently? It almost seems like what's on my phone is what appears on my computer and not the other way around.
Help!

For most things that's true, but purchases are the exception.

Upgrade to iTunes 8 and now can't play movies

I updated from iTunes 7. something to 8 and can no longer play DVD's using PowerDVD or WMP. I can't even see the disk drive under My Computer. I did a system restore on my HP laptop and could play movies again but when I tried to open iTunes the the library had been updated and couldn't be read by older versions of iTunes.
I need to either figure what iTunes 8 did to my system or find a way to convert my library back to form that is usable by an older version of iTunes that will play nice with my laptop.

That error message used to appear with an old version of iTunes and I think it was Quicktime related:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307020
Just guessing here, but this is what I suggest:
I would remove iTunes and related programs using the following method:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Then follow the advice about removing old versions of iTunessetup in the first link. Clear your temporary internet files.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes - saving it on your desktop and running it from there.
