Volume Muted...Itunes won't play since upgrade

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion.
Has anybody else had issues with the volume being muted.
also
Itune will not play any songs, just sits with the timer at 0
has anybody resolved this?

Environment: New MacBook Pro /w Retina (2012.09.04), Mac OS X 10.8
Summary: When trying to play a song in iTunes, either as a local song or from another computers share, the song will never start eventhough the play indicator says its play (it will always be stuck on 0:00:00)
Work Around:
     (Novice Users)
     From Spotlight search for "Airplay" which should provide results which includes the "System Preferences: Display". Click on this item.
     Near the bottom of the window, you will see the "Aiplay mirroring" which will most likely be set to "Off".
     Click on the word "Off" once, and the list will pop-down.
     Click on the world "Off" again and the list will close.
     You are now done and the issue is fixed.
     (Intermediate Users)
     Go to the Display settings in System Preferences
     Reselect your current setting. For me this meant just clicking on Off.
     Your done.

  • DVD won't play since upgrade to iDVD6

    I have used iDVD5 for 3 years to create DVDs (with videos edited in Final Cut) and these DVD would play in my portable TV/DVD combo and in my home DVD player. I recently upgraded to iLife06 which upgraded my iDVD to iDVD to 6.03. Now, when I burn a DVD, it will not play in my TV/DVD combo unit nor in my DVD player! Nothing has changed on my system except the upgrade to iLife'06. Any help would be appreciated. These DVD's DO play on my MAC and on another portable DVD player that I have. However, a client said that my DVD will not play on her Windows system. I sell DVDs as part of my business and this has to be corrected! I never had this problem before the upgrade. Please help!!

    Hi Gail
    Are you able to first create a disc image and then use Apple's DVD Player Application to open this disc image? Let us know if it plays correctly directly from the disc image. If it does, then it may be you have a media issue. What kind of media did you burn to? Try using Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R and burning from a disc image at 4x or slower using apple's Disk Utilities or Toast.
    If the above fails to resolve this issue then repair permissions on your Hard Drive. Also drag and drop the plist for iDVD to the trash. Looks like this:
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    Empty the trash and Restart the computer.
    Lastly, make sure to run apple's software updater for iDVD6 as well as for QuickTime.
    Good luck and hope this is Helpful.

  • Sound keeps muted, iTunes doesn't play songs

    Sinds a week or two sometimes when I boot my mac my sound doesn't work. My sound keeps muted and I can't turn the volume up because it's unclickable grey.
    Someone told me to do the "cmd + ctrl + n + v"-trick and that sometimes helps me but the problem keeps coming back. Also iTunes doesn't want to play my songs, it keeps stuck on 0:00.
    In my sound-systempreferences everything seems okay.
    My specs are:
    -  iMac mid 2012 running OSX lion 10.7.4
    -  Processor  3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
    -  Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    -  Video AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB

    the same thing is happening to me as well since I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My sound beeps now in everything, from email notifications, to music. But iTunes won't play any songs that I select. Hope to get some feedback.

  • ITunes won't play in Windows 8.1...help!

    I just updated my computer from Window's 8 to 8.1 and now iTunes won't play anything at all. I can open up the iTunes store and everything else, but once I click on a song it will show that it is playing but nothing happens. I even tried moving "QTMovieWin.dll" from  c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\  to  c:\program files (x86)\iTunes but nothing happened after I did that. Is there anything else that can be done to fix this problem? Thanks!

    I have searched high and low for the right solution for this issue.  I'm on an HP Envy laptop, running iTunes 12, and just upgraded to Windows 8.1.
    I tried the settings for bit rate as suggested above and it still didn't work, but I did solve the problem.
    In iTunes I went to Preferences > Playback > Play Audio Using ... and changed the setting from "Direct Sound" to "Windows Audio Session"
    Now my iTunes on my laptop works!

  • ITunes won't play quicktime videos on Mac anymore.

    I'm using 10.7.3
    iTunes 10.6
    MacBook Pro 2.6Ghz 4GB ram
    iTunes won't play my video anymore and it's been a while I'm not sure when it occured if it's after an update to snow leopard or iTunes updates...
    When I double click a video I get "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." ??
    ...and cannot convert the option doesn't work I get this other message when trying to convert a version for APPLE TV in advanced menu "None of the selected files were converted because they could not be found."??
    But the movies are quicktime movies in my library and the MPEG-4 plays in iTunes but not on APPLE TV.
    From all my videos I get one only going through APPLE TV and when I try opening it it says error occured why opening and never works??
    It seems APPLE is regularly messing things up in updates to loose people so they have to pay for tech support, I didn't upgrade to iPhoto 11 and cannot import anything anymore into it so my entire library is a dead one ; not a cool way to do business than messing people software so they have to buy newer versions!!!
    Any specialists that know how to fix this ??

    The 32-bit solution has never, I repeat, never worked for me.  I've even done a full reinstall on a clean drive of OSX Lion with a fresh install of iTunes downloading a video of "The Big Bang Theory" that just came out this last thursday and still get the error (just finished the full reinstall to a clean drive now and, no, I didn't do any backup restores.)
    The only solution I've found is to remove the video from iTunes, without deleting the file, then import the file back into iTunes.
    Switching to 32-bit iTunes to run the file causes iTunes to tell me it needs to open iTunes to play the file then it sits and waits for itself to open until I cancel the process.  The video then plays without audio.
    I have noticed that I can stream the files to my Apple TV to play even while getting the error trying to play them on the computer I downloaded the files onto.
    As a result of this error, I've had to reduce the amount of content I purchase from iTunes.  no more buying whole seasons at a time unless I do it at the start of the season.  Even then, I'm reconsidering it.  The amount of work required to get the files into a playable status on the computer is simply too great on an on-going basis.

  • Can't turn mute off / iTunes won't play

    After a blue screen restart into safe mode this morning, I have lost all sound. System Preferences lists it as mute, but won't let me change the setting. The volume keys do nothing and I can't adjust using the icon in the menu bar.
    While trying to work out the extent of the problem, I have noticed that iTunes won't play.
    The computer blue-screened after I downloaded the latest security update. I thought it was because my startup disc was full and after I restarted, I got rid of some of the excess. Everything seemed fine so I downloaded the iTunes update (at the time I didn't realise that the sound wasn't working).
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Kate Buchanan

    all well - though the first restart did nowt, the second gave me large amounts of joy

  • Itunes won't play, store won't play, no audio

    itunes won't play, itunes store won't play, no audio.

    Make sure the volume slider in iTunes isn't all the way to the left.
    If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly

  • ITunes won't play content bought in the iTunes store.

    I purchased some video content from the iTunes store a while ago, watched it a few times without a problem. But since a few weeks ago, iTunes won't play it, all I get is a black screen, and a progress bar at the top.
    Everything else works fine, appart form this. Which is annoying, since I paid for it.
    Is there any way to fix this, or should I just ask the iTunes store for my money back?

    I am having the same problem. Why do we keep using Apple when their support is so pitiful? You cannot contact Apple about problems. Hopefully they will eventually correct the problem. Good Luck.

  • All of a sudden, my iTunes won't play music.

    All of a sudden my iTunes won't play anything in the store or my library. Updates are done and my windows computer is authorized. It has worked fine in the past and then all of a sudden, I click play and nothing plays. I can play music and video in other programs except itunes. Volume is up also. It won't play at all. Any suggestions???

    I would suggest first,
    looking for the files (not in iTunes but on the desktop. If you find the files they've simply been removed from iTunes. - If you can't find the files they've been erased and there's not a lot that can be done.
    Removing files from and iPod is another question. Firstly, it IS difficult, but it can be done. There are numerous tutorials on the web on how to do it.
    Regards,
    Peter.

  • My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2.  I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

    Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
    I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

    hi Limnos,
    I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th.  (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists)  The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29.  (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
    I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
    I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up. 
    Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
    Thank you for your help!

  • Sound not working & iTunes won't play & Netflix error

    Sometimes my sound stops working, and songs on iTunes won't play when this happens. Also if I try to watch Netflix an error message comes up: "Netflix Playback Error N8157 3140" and it says it could have something to do with my Silverlight plugin.
    This is what it says:
    The error you're seeing is related to the Silverlight plugin, which Netflix uses to play movies and TV shows on your computer.
    This error is usually caused by one of two things:
    A computer setting preventing Silverlight from storing files it needs to play your movie or TV show
    An issue with the Silverlight plugin itself
    To fix this error, follow the steps below for your Windows or Mac computer.
    Reinstall your audio card drivers 
    Your audio card drivers may be out of date or corrupt.
    Uninstall and reinstall your audio card driver. Your owner's manual or audio card manufacturer's website can help.
    However, I have tried deleting and reinstalling silverlight, but it doesn't make a difference. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? It only happens sometimes, other times I have no problems and it works fine.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Silverlight
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • ITunes won't play ANY of my music!

    When I select a song and press the spacebar or click the song or whatever, iTunes won't PLAY IT. The timer comes up like it's gonna play but it never starts counting. The icon to select pause comes up instead of the icon to select play in the top left corner. EVERYTHING about iTunes is working correctly up until the second that you expect the sound to come out. You know the little speaker icon next to the song? You know how it shows little lines that represent sound coming out of it when it begins playing a song? Even THAT works. It's just that the little time keeper across the top doesn't scroll across the song! My speakers work fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. I've restarted the computer and shut it down! I checked the preferences menu. I can burn CDs still. Like I said, everything in iTunes is working fine except for the fact that the songs don't play. The files are still there. HELP! THis is driving me nuts. It wasn't working in 10.4.6 and it's still not working in 10.4.7. I've done every update...NOTHING!
    ibook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I am having the exact same problem. I have updated both the system and iTunes. I have an mBox whose driver I have reinstalled (although I knew that wouldn't really make a difference to iTunes NOT playing).
    I'm stumped.
    Zapped PRAM.
    Repaired permissions - they didn't need it.
    Help!

    Yes there is.
    Go to the iTunes Store on your computer.  Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side.  Click the "All" tab on top.  The song is there.  Re-download it.

  • I added some songs to my itunes but now my itunes won't play the songs - it says it can't locate the song although the Itunes match is turned on and it says all of my songs are in the cloud - anyone have any thoughts

    Did you delete the hard copy of the songs from your computer after you uploaded them?
    If so just highlight the said songs and delete but do not check the box that says delete from iCloud and your songs should play fine. 
    This happens when the original file is moved from the location that itunes was looking for it at and if you did this because you uploaded it then it will still be in the cloud you just need itunes to read from cloud and not think it's supposed to be finding the original file
