When i try to play Music or a video the volume comes up with full bars and a stop sign, how do i get back my volume?

When i try to play a music or video or anything the volume bars come up full but with a stop sign underneath, i don't know how to get back my sound.

The way that usually works best is to move the entire iTunes folder folder from the current location to X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of the external drive.
If you moved the iTunes Media folder "by hand" instead of using iTunes to relocate the media folder then:
Move the main iTunes folder to X:\iTunes
Move iTunes Media inside it as X:\iTunes\iTunes Media
Press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes
Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library.
(If iTunes opens normally/with an empty library close it and go back to step 3)
Click choose and open X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
If you still have a problem try my script FindTracks.

    Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
    It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

    - You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
    - Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
    - Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
    iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
    - Save the file
    - Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me)

  • I have replaced my laptop and installed iTunes. When I try to sync my iPad or iPhone it says they are already linked to another iTunes library. How do I get back to my original library.

    I have replaced my laptop and installed iTunes. When iffy to sync my iPad or iPhone it says they are already linked to another iTunes library and will only let me transfer purchased items. How do I get back to my original library.

    If you do a restore you will lose everything.  Some things will be backed up in iCloud but not everything.

  • When I press the down arrow on the right side of my location bar and history is displayed, how can I get it to display history from most recently accessed site on down?

    When I click the down arrow on the right side of the location bar (without having typed a full or partial URL in, I am just clicking the down arrow) a history dropdown is displayed which shows 12 website URLs that I have visited, but there does not appear to be any rhyme or reason as to what is being displayed. How can I cause this dropdown to display sites visited from the most recently accessed on down? And how can I cause more than 12 URLs to be listed in this dropdown? Why I can't I scroll down through my entire history in chronological order from most recently accessed site?

  • When I try to play music on my iPod touch it automatically returns to the artists screen. Does anyone know how to resolve this..?

    When I try to play music on my iPod touch it immediately returns to the artists screen. Can anyone help?

    - First try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next would be a restore. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factoruy defaults/new iPod.

  • I just received a brand new iPod touch as a gift. But when I try to play music on it the speaker is extremely slow. When I plug in headphones I hear nothing. Tried multiple headphones. Tried a restore.

    I just received a brand new iPod touch as a gift. But when I try to play music on it the speaker is extremely slow. When I plug in headphones I hear nothing. Tried multiple headphones. Tried a restore.  It never dropped or anything 

    Try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    You said you restored the iPod. Was the restore successful, that is, it went though all the steps without errors?
    Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
    Are you  using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
    Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
    The speaker is not that loud.

    Use Spotlight Search (the magnifying glass on the top right-hand corner of your menu bar) to locate your music files. Then point iTunes to those files.

    Hi
    Thanks this has helped me solve the problem.
    I used the Outlook Anywhere connectivity tester you suggested. Selected Outlook autodiscover.
    It told me that it could not resolve things on any of the 4 tests.
    I saw that using the last test "Attempting to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method", was the only one likely to work in my case.
    I had already changed 3 entries in dns to point at my DDNS address but this had not worked, from the errors I could see that it was just the certificate name not matching so I changed the DNS entries for Autodiscover, autoconfig and _autodiscover._tcp
    to be webmail.domain.com which is a CNAME to my ddns address for the broadband router, which in turn forwards ports 80 and 443 to the exchange server for owa and activesync access. I got an error message saying that I had an illegal entry in my SRV record
    as a CNAME is not allowed, but it saved the change anyway.
    I reran the test and it worked.I can now make new outlook clients attach teo exchange.
    Thank you, after 8 hours yesterday of trying to reolve this I suddnely got it to work on one laptop but the other still would not and had lost track of what I could have changed so had no idea what actually made it work.
    Thank you for your suggestion.

  • My mac book pro has no sound when i try to play music in iTunes

    When I try to play music in iTunes, either from my library or the iTunes store there is no sound. Anywhere else the sound is fine. This just happens in tunes. Any suggestions?

    Thank you so much - that was the problem. We just got apple TV and that was device selected. Once I changed the selection to the macbook, problem solved.
    I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my plea for help.

    Hold on... advice to someone downloading from 1337x !!!
    Until I saw your comment and googled the term, I had no idea that this was a "downloaded" file. I assumed the "1337x" reference was to dimensions/resolution and Noir referred to genre. (I.e., I use similar notations the differentiate files compressed for TV playback comparisons.) In any case, the advice is the same irrespective of the source.
    er, isn't it illegal to download movies ?
    Not necessarily. Thousands of movies are probably downloaded daily as legal purchases from such vendors as iTunes. Thousands more are available for free in the public domain, open source/community videos listings, and under Creative Commons Licensing. In short, there are many legal sources of downloadable content and you should not automatically jump to the conclusion that everyone is a crook.

  • ITunes freezes on me when I try to play music from a CD

    When I try to play music from a CD, it will play two tracks in a row fine. After that, the program will freeze and I'll have to exit it. It keeps doing this on me, and even after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, it still does it. It's weird how it only freezes after playing every two songs.
    It also only does this to CDs. It's fine when I play music already downloaded on my computer. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes, if that might have anything to do with it.

    Boy this discussion sure seems useless. Comeon Apple! Time to step up the support! This is where you are weakest as a company.
    Well anyway, I have the same problem. My old optical drive in my macbook pro crapped out when I dropped my laptop, so I just installed a brand new drive (UJ-857e), simultaneously with upgrading to Leopard, so it is unfortunately impossible for me to isolate this problem to itunes 7.5 vs. Leopard. It is clearly not a hardware problem however, since the cd's play fine with other audio programs.
    So what I can offer as a work-around fix is to suggest you use a different program for audio cd playback than itunes and all should be fine if your hardware is fine. My program of choice is VLC, which in my opinion is the best free program out there for video formats of all kinds (most codecs included) and plays audio fine too.
