Upgraded to iTunes 6.0 now songs will not play

I upgraded to iTunes 6.0, now when I go to play a song the run time shows up as a negative number and the song will not play. I reinstalled the software several times and reauthorized the computer. Does anyone have a solutions to this problem?
Thanks for your help
Dell Dimension   Windows XP  

I should add that every time I remove the iPod from my computer to try and see if any of the songs are back it asks me for a language just like the first time you start it up. Kinda like it forgets everytime I plug it into the computer.

  • Installed version 11.1.3.8 - now songs will not play

    Installed the latest version of iTunes yesterday.  Previous version worked fine. 
    When I try to play a song in my library, I see the speaker symbol next to the song in my song list, and it shows up at top of Itunes, but doesn't start to play.  Or I get the "I'm thinking" striped bars, like iTunes is trying to find it. 
    Any ideas? 
    Thanks

    Finally, here is what I will have to do with 4 more IPad's, 3 IPods and I am not even updating the phones.
    I had to connect the Pad to ITunes and let it do its thing.  Because of whatever the error is, it take upto 20 minutes for it to finally get all the steps completed.  I then have to go into the Summary section and tell it under the IPad Mini Section (NOT the BACKUP section) and tell it to do a Restore.  I then have to wait for it to take over 30 minutes for it to kill the current setup and reboot.  Once it finally reboots I have to go into setup and tell it to setup as an already known Pad configuration.  This helps, but then I have to wait another 20 minutes till however long for it to install the media that it shows as part of the install.  The reason I say however long is because if I only had about 5 Gig of media on there at the time.  If I had it anywhere near full it would take much longer.
    Then, at that point I can finally make changes to the media.
    I also verified something else.  The only other thing that they all had in common was they were all trying to download a movie I recently purchased.  It was fairly large so I wondered if size was an issue or if maybe it was corrupted.  I deleted it from ITunes and the CPU.  Still had the problem.
    This is the third update from apple I have had to do this.  It is getting very old.  I left the MS platform for the same reason.  I dont have the time to spend fixing crap that Apple "Genious'" get paid to supposedly fix. 
    I appreciate the sugestion on the Hard Boot Process.  I will try that sooner next time, but I am a bit frustrated with Apple at this point.  Its no wonder they are loosing market shares.

  • Upgraded to win7 from xp. Now some songs will not play without signing into an old Itunes id account.

    Installed Windows 7 from XP. Downloaded itunes and imported the music library.
    Now some songs will not play until I authorize this computer by signing  in using an old apple id. Now when I do that the message says too many devices on that id.
    Is there a way to convert those songs to my current Apple id? Or is there a way to download them again under the new id?

    Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
    If you desire the conent on your current Apple ID, purchase it with the current Apple ID.
    For future reference, do not create a new Apple ID simply because of a change of email address.  Instead, update the Apple ID with the new email address.

  • Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?

    The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Some iTunes purchased songs will not play on iPhone.

    Some of my songs that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on my iPhone but will play on my MacBook Pro and iPad - what can I do to fix this.  This problem has been happening for around a week now.  At first it was 1-2 songs but now in a playlist of around 80 songs approximately 1/4 of the songs will not play.  When the song comes up next in the playlist it will not only skip that song but will also skip past 1-2 other songs.

    Hey brewmaster1967,
    Does this happen with any other purchased content? Download some of the free on iTunes store songs.
    Deauthorize the computer and play/authorize the song in iTunes again.

    Try re-creating the iTunes Library.

    Hi
    Can you use the mouse to access and start System Preferences?
    When you rest the mouse over a dock icon, does its name pop up?
    What happens if you open an application by ctrl-clicking on the icon then selecting Open?

  • I have up dated my itune and now it will not play my old purchase movies. I have brought new ones and they work but my old purchases will not. Why and how can I fix it.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • Songs will not play at all in iTunes 7.0.1 today.  Help?

    Installed new version last night. Everything worked fine, songs played after instal. Today, songs will not play. Display shows name of song, time, etc., but song will not start (time stays constant, progress meter does not move). Any ideas?

    Just for fun, I shut down, rebooted, and tried again, and now it works fine.

  • HT1933 iTunes downloaded song will NOT play

    Why can I view the song on the playlist (on both iPod and Powerbook) and yet the song will not play on either? It is NOT listed as having been interrupted as a download and the rest of the album plays without incident.

    Sounds like a faulty file. Delete it and redownload a fresh one at no extra cost
    Goto iTunes Store
    Select Purchased from under Quick Links to the right
    Navigat to the music you want and click on the cloud button to re download.
    If it came from a cd then reimport it.
    If it came from another source then they will give you instructions on how to redownload if you can

  • I can see the itunes library on apple tv but songs will not play

    I can see the itunes library on apple tv but songs will not play, this happens after 2 songs play

    Finally achieved my fix by changing channels on my Billlion router to 11, and not letting the ATV sleep.  Give it a try, I spent a good four frustrating weeks until I did this.
