Video OK but can't play songs

This seems to be the opposite problem everyone else is having.
Bought the AV Connection Kit. Played movies and video podcasts fine.
But when I try to play a song through my TV, I get nothing. I can't even get songs to play during a photo slideshow (although I can see the images). Thoughts?

I don't know if you figured it out... but I just did.
If it's still not working for you, it might be because your tv might reject anything that doesn't have video.
Try this: Input a photo (or a completly black image, if you'd prefer your tv screen to be black), into your photos. On your ipod, play the music you want. Then go in Photos, and Slideshow Settings. Make sure that Music is in the playlist you want, or in 'Now Playing'. Make sure that 'TV Out' is On or Ask, and that TV Signal is set to the right thing. (NTSC if you're in North America).
This worked for me; it might for you too.

Downloaded songs from iCloud to touch, but can't play songs without wifi. Defeats the purpose.

Hi Kevin,
Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
If not, sign on to iTunes.
Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
Cheers,

IPod connects to iTunes 9 but can't play songs

I just updated to iTunes 9 and now I cannot play songs off the iPod. I can see the songs in iTunes, I can get the song info, but the songs are grayed out and I cannot play them.
My iPod Touch works perfectly.
How is this resolved?

Hello masweet,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The songs are probably greyed out because you have the iPod set up to "automatically" sync from your iTunes library. In order to play the songs from within iTunes off the iPod is to enable the "manually manage music and videos" button from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. If you had previously set your iPod up for manual management, the update may have reverted it to automatic. So it will be as simple as changing it back.
If still no luck, the update may have confused your iPod into thinking that it was set up with an entirely different iTunes library and will need to be restored in order to regain this functionality.
Hope this helps.

TS1584 I had my iTunes libray on my old PC, just transferred to my new PC, downloaded iTunes, and my library is there, but can't play songs, says can't locate original files?

I had my iTunes library on my old Dell Inspiron, transferred all info to my new HP Pavilion PC, downloaded iTunes and my library is there, but when I try to play songs, it says can't play because can't locate the original files...how can I activate the songs to play? The iTunes library is also in my Windows media file, and the songs will play in there, but I set iTunes as my default music manager and want the songs activated in my iTunes library so I can play them and sync my iPod. Help? Thanks.

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Purchase song on iTunes from 5c phone but can't play song on phone or mac

Purchased song on ITunes and entered correct apple id. song downloaded to iPhone 5C. Phone then synced with MacPro laptop on OS Mavericks latest version. This song will not play on phone or laptop. Get Info shows correct Apple ID. Whenever I try to play this song, get message this song is not authorized for this computer. I sign same Apple ID with correct password and get message Computer already authorized. When I click to play on same song again, get same message this song is not authorized for this computer. Song will not play on phone either. Just skips to next available song to play.

What is the exact text of the error dialog?
If I understand you correctly you are saying that you and your wife both use the same MacMini with seperate User Accounts. You each have your own iTunes Store Apple IDs. This could be a problem. One computer can only be associated with an Apple ID once every 90 days. This applies to using iTunes Match, automatic downloads and downloading past purchases. See this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Since you apparently had the MacMini associated to your Apple ID for iTunes Match, if your wife attempted to re-download anything from her purchase history she would have been prompted to associate the computer with her Apple ID, which it sounds like she did. At this time you must wait the 90 days before you may re-associate the MacMini with your Apple ID.

Brooklyn Buckeye,
Can you confirm that Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library is checked in the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences > Advanced tab > General sub-tab.
If not, check it and go through the "Add file to library" procedure one more time.

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

Check out the article below to troubleshooting issues with the sound for music and for videos. One other thing you can try is to convert the songs to a different format

Macbook Pro will only allow AirPlay to play through iTunes, therefore I can't play songs through Safari

Macbook Pro will only allow AirPlay to play through iTunes, therefore I can't play songs through Safari. I have tried going on to the Sound settings and selecting AirPort Express but its just jumps back to internal speakers. Its WELL ANNOYING! Any ideas?

This is normal.
To be able to play any audio source on your MacBook Pro, you might want to take a look at an application like Airfoil. More info below:

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!

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video.

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video. I attached a image below.

ATR, just to make sure you understand me, all my video clips in my folders appear as the first frame of the video clip when I view my folders as (small, medium, large)icons instead of lists, when saved as .avi files but when saved as .mp4 files, those icons display as a graphic icon of filmstrip with a musical note on it. I do have various other methods to open with (quick time, windows media, winamp or real player) but prefer real player because I like it's quick and easy trimmer that comes along with it, since so many of my videos are just pet antics where you need to clip off the boring beginning and ends of the video.
I did go on a few of the icons and right clicked, Open With, and tried quick time and also Windows Media and it did nothing as far as how the file was saved for display, and they opened the same no matter which player I used...the actual video opens and plays right at it's first frame... but it's the way it is visually displayed in STORAGE that bugs me because it isn't immediately apparent to me what it is a video of (weddings, outside the house, pet antics)... it makes me have to actually title things and read titles where before I let it just be dates because I had the visual of that first frame as a reference. Obviously, this is a problem for unedited videos only, as anything I actually work with, I do give a title along with the date of the video.
I also just realized this seems to be the way ALL videos that are wrapped in .mp4 are displayed, as my bloggie camera's videos appear the same way. Now I know why! My other videos display as .avi's so I see the frame. Puzzle solved. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, as it seems to be how things display with the various formats.
Now I need to watch some tutorials to learn how this Premiere program works! It's all new to me, since this is the first time I've been able load any of my videos onto it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to trim on it yet!
