I'm having the same problem. I also have two .mp4 video files that are in my itunes library but don't appear in my list. I've even tried using the command to add the files to the library, which appears to do, but they don't show up. I'm upgrading quicktime to 7.1.6 and i'm using itunes 7.1.1. I'll let you know if I have any luck.

How come I can't play videos anymore?

I'm running iPhoto v 7.1.5; OS X 10.9.1, but I can't play videos anymore? How is this possible? What do I need to do? Please help.

iPhoto v7 (or iPhoto 08 dates from 2007, and is looking for Quicktime 7 to play the videos - the version of Quicktime that was current then. 10.9 uses Quicktime X.
Two options:
Upgrade to a more recent version of iPhoto
or
Install QUicktime 7. You'll find an installer here

Can see songs and albums in iTunes but can't play them

Recently upgraded to OS 10.8, itunes 11.1.2, and OS7 on ipad and iphone. I noticed only purchased songs were showing up now on OS7 devices and trying a variety of settings in tunes sync (sync all songs, sync only checked ones, etc) still wouldn't send over my privately owned (copied from my own CDs) songs.
Then in itunes on Mac, tried to play a song. The album icon and song list are all there, but no song plays when clicking.
My itunes folder is on an external drive. All song and albums are there when I look in finder window. The library is correctly addressed in itunes preferences. I consolidated the library.
In all cases, it looks like all songs are there in itunes, but nothing plays, and nothing syncs over to ipad or ipone. Any ideas?

Hey pvolker!
I have an article here that can guide you on some steps for troubleshooting that I believe will resolve this issue:

I purchased an adapter for playing videos from my ipod touch on my tv. It works fine for episodes I have purchased from Itunes, but won't play videos from Hulu Plus. What should I do to remedy the situation? Thank you!

The iPod TV out only works for aps that support TV out. The description of Hulu Plus only states that iiPad supports HDMI video out (SD only)

Songs imported into iTunes but can't play..can't find original file!

I just upgraded my desktop and had previously backed up my music library onto an external hard drive. well, on my new desktop, I installed the newest version of iTunes, then turned on my external hard drive, found my music and dragged it into library. I started playing some songs last night and all was well.
This morning, I went to listen to some songs from that same library and I am now getting the error message:
"[name of song] could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Can someone tell me why this would happen, since it worked last night, and more importantly, how to find the "original files" on over 800 songs? I am hoping that when I copied my music from my old desktop, I also copied these original files that the error message seems to be referring to!
Any advice would be much appreciated, as I also did the same thing with my laptop and am unable to play music from there as well, as I am getting the same error message!

Is the external drive still plugged in?
If not, it is likely that you did not have "Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to lirbary" check in iTunes Preferences>>Advanced tab.
If this is the case iTunes just copies pointers to the tracks, so if the drive isn't plugged, they are not available.
A simple way out of this is to pug in the drive, make sure things work, then consolidate your library. (an option in Files>>Library>>Organise...)
Consolidating copies all tracks in the library but not in the iTunes Music folder into the the iTunes Music folder.

You tube adobe flash player updated and installed ,java script enabled but can't play videos with firefox help

I have downloaded and installed adobe flash playe ver 10 5 time and it does not work some one with the same problem said mozilla fire fox is not compatible with the new flash player should i go back to internet explore and uninstall firefox? or is this a problem with your server fix this please

There are two different versions of Flash, one version for IE (ActiveX) and another version for all other browsers (Plugin version). You need to install the Plugin version,
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Can see entire library in iTunes but can't play any songs

An exclamation mark "!" appears next to each song in my library. This happens seemingly arbitrarily- sometimes everything is OK- since I installed v 5.0. From what I can tell, the song list is not connecting to the song files...I have no idea why. Has this happened to anyone else?

Disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPad to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
Turn iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Restart your computer. Then reconnect iPad to your computer.
Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTune

Can't play videos on a newly upgraded iBook

I have recently upgraded my iBook G3 to 10.4.11. I also added an Airport card and a 512 MB RAM card. I can do pretty much anything on the internet (Safari 4.0.4) but can't play videos. The picture is really jumpy & laggy and the sound continues out of sync with the picture. Am I missing something or is the computer just not advanced enough to keep up?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Streaming video on an iBook G3 is a toughie.
Some suggestions which I found to help:
Restart the computer and open only the browser you want to use. Don't have any other applications open when you're attempting to watch streaming video.
Sometimes Firefox worked better for me than Safari (but I never used 10.4 on my iBook G3).
Some people have reported luck using VLC:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
As a last resort, if possible, download the video and watch it from your hard drive.
Keep in mind that the last, best iBook G3 (900 MHz) was last produced in October of 2003, so you have a very old iBook attempting to play the latest versions of video, so things are often not very workable.
Good luck.

I cannot (anymore) play a song on iTunes, nor can I play a video, ie. You tube.

I cannot (anymore) play songs on iTunes, nor can I play a video, ie. You Tube.

I have done a google search, and I used a suggested fix by going to Quicktime; Preferences); Quiktime Player; click on audio source; close Quiktime and iTunes; restart. It then works for both iTunes song and You Tube video. But when I restart the computer, it no longer works.

How can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements? It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Element

how can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements? It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Elements

LGSh
Lots of questions, lots of answers needed as mentioned by Hunt. But please include what version of Premiere Elements that you are using when you reply.
How are you importing these file into your Premiere Elements project?
After you drag your file to the Timeline, do you see both an video and audio component (on Video 1/Audio 1) or is there nothing on the Audio 1 track? If you can see a wave form or file on Audio 1, have you checked all the program's volume settings including Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and the ASIO settings?
More later.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

I can't do anything but listen to music on my ipod 2, the games I pay for, I can't play them anymore!

I really stress out, I want to cry so bad!!! Updates after Updates, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT LISTEN TO MUSIC!!! There are some games I bought and now after all these updates, I can't play them anymore and can't even find a game that is suitable for my ipod 2. Right now my ipod is like useless and I don't want to buy another one becuase it cost money. What do I do now?!?!?!? I used to have a lot of games but now I only have HALF of the games left.

Never move songs around by hand, iTunes will lose track of the files that you move.
Your iTunes library is normally stored in C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes.
The iTunes application stored in C:\Program Files\iTunes is meant to hold a selection of dll files that are needed by the program. Leavel them alone unless you are actively Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If you know where you've moved things to my script FindTracks may be able to reconnect iTunes to the relocated tracks.

Can't Play Video "need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player"

Ever since upgrading to FF 26 I can't play video on YouTube or many other sites.
It says "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
Download it from Adobe."
So I click on the link which takes me to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, do the install which goes without trouble.
But afterwards I get the same message when I try to play videos.
Running Windows 7 on a Desktop PC. Having NO problems playing videos in IE or Chrome. FF used to be great but it's becoming more trouble than it's worth.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You can try uninstalling it completely via the control panel and then installing it back on to the computer. You can also do a plugin check if you'd like.
Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Can't play video on Ipad in HD quality from Itunes

Can't play video in HD quality from Itunes media library,
But it directly plays if i'll download it to Ipad ,
in SD quality it plays well from Itunes Library,
Is there any limits (resolution, filesize, or bitrate)?
Resolution of video 1280x720

Well those are javascript errors... you may have an application installed that has modified your javascript or is interfering with it. Have you tried using a different browser?
