TS3274 No movies or music will play on iPad

When I try to play a movie or listen to a song it won't play at all..

1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two and tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

Since upgrading to iTunes 10.4, no music will play on my laptop

Since upgrading to iTines 10.4, none of my music will play on my laptop. I have cahnged all of the iTunes settings back to their defaults and still none of the music plays. iTunes acts like it's playing the song, the controls change from the "play" symbol to the "pause" symbol, my volume is fine, the icon that tracks the progress through the song doesn't move and no music is played.
Any help any of you could provide, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hello there DebbieBall,
It sounds like suddenly iTunes cannot locate your files. I would use the info in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads - Apple Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

About 5 days ago for no apparent reason at all, about
7000 songs which i have collected over a number of
years has just decided that it wont play in ITUNES or
in any other of my media players. When you click on
Play over a song nothing happens. The play icon
doesnt even come up on the screen.
Steps I have taken so far are:
1 - Remove all tracks from ITUNES and then re-add the
folder where all the songs are. This has obviously
removed all songs, but when I have re-added the
folder , it has added about 650 tracks back on to the
playlist. These 650 tracks will play. This leaves
approx 6400 tracks that it wont play.
By the way all the songs on my PC are MP3 type and I
have had no problem playing any of them until last
week.
2 - I have re-installed ITUNES and reinstalled
Quicktime and that has not worked.
3 - All of my songs are backed up on to a External
Hard Drive. I have tried to restore the songs and
also play them directly from the external hard drive.
I get the same problem when I do this.
4 - I have enabled and allowed all permissions for
the account that I am running the PC from.
I am guessing there must be some settnig or Registry
Key that is blocking me playing the tracks from the
PC. I have also tried to launch the songs in Media
Player and Sonic stage but thsi has not played
either.
All the tracks are in the folder structure as they
were before so I know they are there. I just need to
somehow unlock them.......
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful as
I dont want to lose my entire music collection.
Also I cannot find anyweher on here that is a Support
number or email address for Apple as this is an
ITUNES issue and they should be resolving it for
me!!!!
Thanks

None of my music will play on the ipod or in itunes

none of my music will play on my nano or when connected to itunes

ahh it works thank you so much...i did the same thing...control panel > sound > playback tab > disabled the second device (in my case it was called "SPDIF Interface - Conexant High Defenition Audio") and my music plays again.
and for the record, my network connection still says disconnected too however i figured that problem was related to my living in a dorm and having multiple wireless networks floating around as well as being hardwired to the internet...i disabled the wireless option on my computer so it would focus on the hardwire and i thought it said disconnected because of that. i never figured the sound issue and that were related.

Not all my music will play on my I pad since upgrading to iOS 5

Not all my music will play on my I pad since upgrading to iOS 5

Same problem! No solution as yet I'm afraid!

Ipod is synced but not all music will play. The music shows on the Ipod but not highlighted and cannot click to play.

Provided the music plays in iTunes on the computer
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

How do I make sure my music will play when I burn a copy of a slide show?

How do I make sure my music will be included when I burn a copy of a slide show. I have made many many slide shows over the years with the music in perfect sync to the slides. I recently updated my iMac to OS 7. I did not want to do it because I heard it created issues with iPhoto. But because I had updated my iPhone and my iPad, and although I don't like OS 7 (the first time I have not liked an upgrade) I thought I could figure out how to solve problems/ differences. Well, this has me stumped. It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer. Does anyone have any ideas why this does not work, and what I have to do to ensure that the music I selected and added to the slide show using the settings did not burn along with the iPhoto slide show?
Mairzy

I recently updated my iMac to OS 7
What is really your MacOS X version? iOS 7 is the operating system for iPhone, iPad, iPod.
But what versions are you using on your iMac? Have you upgraded to Mavericks, MacOS X 10.9.x and iPhoto 9.5.1, or are you using an earlier version?
It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer.
How did you export the slideshow and burn the DVD?
To have the music play along with the slideshow, you need to export your Slideshow project as a video file - use the "Export" button below the Slideshow window and select a format.
Check, if the exported video does play well and the audio is present.
Then burn a video DVD using iDVD or Toast, or a similar program to burn video DVDs, see:

A while ago I wanted to download/buy an album on my iPhone 4 but I didnt have enough space so I deleted some stuff and downloaded the album. well ever since then my other music won't play, only that one album will play and none of my other music will play

a while ago I wanted to buy an album but I didn't have enough space on my phone, (iPhone 4) so I deleted some things off my phone and downloaded the album. well ever since then all my other music won't play, only that one album will play. I thought it was because I havent been able to get the software update on my phone but I don't have enough space for that either. I deleted almost all my photos, all my apps, i deleted almost all the info that is on the apps that you can't delete, but it says I have too much music and I only have 45 songs!!!!!!!! and I don't want to delete them because that's what I'm trying to listen to but I can't because of whatever reason. PLEASE HELP!!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Only purchased music will play on my iPhone, this is not a location problem either.

This screen is the same for all my music on my phone:
The location of all files are fine and they play perfectly on my laptop, but only purchased ones will play on my iPhone, any ideas?

No, your iPhone i s telling you that you need iTunes 11.1 or greater on your computer in order to sync with the computer.
I've been having problems with iTunes on my PC so I re-installed it but it's been a nightmare trying to get it to work.
Then you should fix this issue with iTunes before you try to sync your iPhone to it.

AppleTV Not playing .Mov files that will play in iTunes

After Major Hard Disc issues I had to use a Data Rescue II to retrieve the files.
All seems fine now except Data Recover II converted all of the m4v to mov files?
They play fine from iTunes, but apple tv does is giving me an error that file format is not recognized or it just does not load...
File Details are as follows:
Kind: QuickTime Movie File
Profile: Low Complexity
Bit Rate: 158 kbps
Video Dimesions:1280x720
Video Codec: h.264
Thanks in advance peeps!

what's the framrate?
bear in mind that just because something is in itunes, does not mean it is appletv compatible.
also, have you tried simply changing the extension back to .m4v ?
