Upgraded to ios8 on ipod last night and now it won't play any music I didn't purchase via itunes.

Upgraded to ios 8 on my ipod touch last night. Today when I've tried to play songs I've had loaded that were not iTunes purchases, the songs will not play. The screen scrolls through all tracks on the albums quickly and returns to the album screen. All songs now have a red circle with a red square in them. Repeated selecting of a song results in the same action.
Anyone else experienced a similar problem, any ideas on how to fix... ? I've got thousands of songs that I loaded into my iTunes library from cds that now don't seem to work on the ipod.

Any suggestions that dealt with 'downloading purchased' really didn't apply since the issue was with songs I imported into my iTunes library and not with content that I'd purchased. Nothing seemed to resolve the issue completely. Even went as far as completely wiping out the iPod (I really only use it for storing my music) and reloading as a new iPod.
While that did end up downloading some of the non-purchased content it still didn't download close to 2000 songs. A friend told me her daughter suggested going into settings/music/show all music and turning option off. Then sync again. No idea why but seemed to download all my iTunes library content.

I upgraded to the latest iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now it won't play any music. I can do everything else, except play music. I'm on Windows 7. Any ideas?

i had this problem and finally figured it out. all that you need to do is go to your start menu and click on computer. select your main drive, (local drive) c usually. Next open the users file follow by your user name file, which is just like it sound it is a file labled as whatever your name is as you have it on your computer. Then you open up the AppData file. Next open the Roaming file. After that open the Apple Computer file followed by the iTunes file. Now you should see the folder labled iTunes Plug-ins folder. Now just Delete that folder. After that go to your iTunes and play your music.
If for some reason you don't see the AppData file you need to go to the upper left of your screen on select organize. a drop down menu will appear and you need to select folder and searc options. a small folder options window will appear. in this window you need to select the view tab. you need to select the show hidden files, folders, and drives bubble. now hit apply and then ok. that will allow the AppData folder to be seen.

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

Thank you,

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

I know it's a little late but I recently updated my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 and now it won't play my music. It will play spotify and YouTube music but not my music. Everything else works fine but when I go to play a song it just skips to the next. Why

I know it's a tad late, but I recently updated my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 and now it won't play any of my music. It will play Spotify and YouTube just fine, but it won't play my music. It will just skip to the next a d the next and the next after a second or two without any sound. Please help! Thank you.

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 all music and resync
- 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:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music, updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music

i updated my itunes, and now it won't play any of my music. i tried deleting it and reinstalling itunes, but it still is doing the same thing: whenever i click on a song, it looks like it's going to play (and my last.fm thing starts scrobbling it) but it just doesn't play the song, ever. it sits there, with the play button played. i am so frustrated with itunes, and i have no idea how to resolve this.

HT5622 I changed my password last year and now I can't download any music that I purchased before I changed my password

I changed my password last year and now I can't download any of my old purchases

Does not work that way.
Are you certain that the password was the only thing changed? Sounds more like a new Apple ID was created.

I updated to MacBook pro last night and now safari won't open

I updated my MacBook Pro last night and since I did this I can not open Safari. It crashes and sends a report to Apple. Not tech smart enouh to figure it out can anyone give me simple suggestions?

Please elaborate on what exactly you mean by it "won't open".
Do you try to launch it and get an error message from the Finder (for example, something like "This application is damaged and cannot be launched....")? Does an icon for the application ever appear in the Dock when you try to launch it? Does it start to launch and then immediately crashes (Finder will display an "unexpectedly quit" dialog)? Or does it start to launch and never seems to "finish" launching (in other words, it basically hangs and is unresponsive)?
If the application crashes, please post the contents of the crash log here.
Otherwise, if the application seems to be hanging, can you, before attempting to launch it, open the Console.app application (it's in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder), and see if anything is reported when you attempt to launch it? If so, please post it here.

I have synced my Iphone and everything is on there but when I activated my daughter's iphone it recognized it as mine and now it won't sync any music because it thinks it already did it. How do I go in and change it to my daughter's name?

I have synced my IPhone4 and it has everything on it, including all of my music. When I activated my daughter's IPhone4, the computer recognized it as mine and it won't sync the music because I guess it thinks it has already done it. I think if I restore it to factory settings, it will mess up my phone. How do I go back in to restart the whole process under my daughter's name?

As amy_lou said, iTunes will recognize both phones as different devices. If they have the same name, rename one of them so it is easier to recognize which is which. This explains how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3965.

I just updated my computer and now Safari won't play any video.

I just recently updated my Safari, to have it up to date. Now all of a sudden it will not play any video in Safari. How can I get my videos to play again? Please help!

Hi..
If you are referring to video streamed on YouTube or other sites that require the Flash plugin, try troubleshooting.
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first.
Relaunch Safari. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
Tip... when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed

HT1725 I downloaded an album from iTunes last night and some songs won't play through to the end. One stops after about 34 seconds and one stops after about 9 seconds every time. I am running the most up-to-date version of iTunes for Windows

The album was Grateful Dead Sunshine Daydream Concert 8/27/72. Songs #11 and #12 start but don't finish on either my library or the ipod. There may be others too, but these two I noticed. The downloads were completed ok, the songs sync'ed ok and they appear to be the right length. I thought maybe I need to re-download them but how do you do that once they are purchased? Is there another issue? Thanks for your help

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracsk from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I updated Lightroom 5 last night, and now it won't open. How do I uninstall it so that I can reinstall?

I thought it was a catalog issue, but it won't even open at all. I just want to uninstall and reinstall. When I click the gear button in my CC, it say uninstall unavailable.

Operating system?
Did you install from CC desktop?
When it fails to open - any error message?

My sound worked perfectly last night and now it won't work even though my volume is on high. Any suggestions??

My sound worked perfectly yesterday but today when i went to go listen to music it no longer worked. THe volume on the computer as well as youtube was on high but there was no sound. Any suggestions?

sure-option click on the sound slider on the top of your screen, and it should show you what your output device is. also , try running audio midi setup, something might have got stuck, and that might unstick it, if that helps, or makes any sense. also, check to see if mute is on or not
well, that's all I have for now

My phone ran out of charge last night and now it won't turn on when I charge it!

I've left it charging for about an hour now, the charger is brand new so it can't be that, and I can't restart it because my lock button is broke:(( anyone know what might be wrong or what I can do to sort it out:(

Typically you would want to reset device however since you can not.
Perhaps trying other wall outlets.

Ipod skips songs and / or freezes, won't play any song

Listening to my ipod I skipped to next track, but no sound came. Looking at display I noticed that the ipod had skipped about twenty tracks. Tried going back to track I wanted to play but ipod wouldn't play it - time display stuck at 0.00 for a few mins then skipped to next track, same problem. Went to completely different track - same problem.
Checked on itunes - all songs played fine, both those listed under my home hard drive, and those listed under the ipod's drive on itunes.
Resynched ipod - same problem - initially one or two songs would play, but when trying to play the specific track I first tried, it would skip through the next twenty or so tracks then stop playing anything.
Tried soft reset - same problem.
Tried restoring to factory settings - same problem.
Took to apple store genius bar - they made no attempt to work out what was going wrong, just replaced ipod as it was still under warranty. Got home and resynched all songs - same problem!
This suggests it is a problem with the song files, but I don't understand why they play fine on itunes. Also, the file type (mp3), bit rate, sample rate, file size, etc is exactly the same in both locations.
Have tried all troubleshooting tips on this site, and all software is latest version.
Any ideas?

Good night, Chris.
Well, it may have lots of reasons: changing files from original folders, uninstall/install codecs in other programs, errors on iTunes Sync service, deleted .dll's, viruses and etc...
To easier the work for you, you can do it in all your iTunes library or make a backup of your files and reinstall iTunes (enjoy to update it, if you haven't yet).
Try "consolidate files" also, it can avoid that iTunes search from the files in wrong places, and automatically organize your .mp3/.aac files.
In a last tool, try to change the iTunes import preferences.
Once you are in a high step level, give a glance on this things on:

and give a special look to this scripts:
