Why won't Itunes play my music on my windows laptop?

I was on the same boat, bud! I saw you had the exact same problem as I did and decided to come back to help you out. On another apple discussion page, a user--Charlicharli-- posted a link to download and everything seems to be fine now. Apparently we had to check with Lenovo. We were looking in all the wrong places for the fix!

This is was he said for us to click on and it helped a chunk of people--including myself. Hope this helps you out in some way like it did for me!

HT2470 Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder, if I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder

Why won't Itunes store my music library in my User/Music Folder?
If I select my user name as a storage location in Itunes, Itunes creates folders for artist name right in my user folder, instead of in my user/music folder. This gets especially annoying because if I tell Itunes to store my "media" in my user/music folder, Itunes will then create a folder named "music" in my "music" folder and will also create additional folders in my user/music folder location to store other non-music media in as well. It is very annoying to see this lack of affinity for folders between two Apple created programs.

Why won't iTunes 'play nice' with Windows 8.1

After following painstaking, tedious Troubleshooting hoop-jumping**, iTunes (latest version) STILL refuses to "play nice" with Windows 8.1
Stalls out (Windows Task Manager reports "not responding") and does truly nasty things like blanking computer display and making Windows 8.1 system commands non-responsive (iTunes also has to be Forced closed ['End Task'] using Task Manager)
My question:
ANY HOPE that iTunes will EVENTUALLY actually work with Windows 8.1?? (Of course, there's NO '8.1' listed in drop-down menu, inspiring further confidence!)
Adding INSULT to INJURY - Apple programmers DEMAND/FORCE creation of NSA-grade Password to Login to iTunes!!?! (8 minimum, mandatory Capital and lower case letters, plus number(s), plus NO repeats, plus NO "common passwords" [whatever THOSE are] etc. etc. etc....ad nauseum)
ARGGGH!
** Update iTunes, start in Safe mode, re-start (iTunes & Windows), check AV status, shut down AV & firewall, scan for viruses, check status of all drivers, all DLL's, any "possibly conflicting" applications [whatever THOSE are], create new User Account, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum!
At the risk of repeating myself ... ARGGGH!

Just checking that you've tried "iTunes Safe Mode" as opposed to "Windows Safe Mode"?
Press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT the instant you click the icon that launches iTunes and keep holding until this message appears.
Click Continue, then close iTunes and reopen. Some people seem to have had success with this approach...
Alternatively, have you tried removing all iTunes components and then reinstalling as shown in the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?

Why won't iTunes play most of my albums?

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to the OS X, 10.9.1, a while ago. I haven't used the iTunes player on this device in even a longer time. It will play any of the individual songs from those albums, but not the album as a whole. It seems that any new albums I've imported work just fine. So was there an upgrade to ITunes or my Mac that made my existing music library limited somehow or ??? Can it be fixed easily?

I found this in one of the "more like this":
Under iTunes > Preferences, uncheck "Show list checkboxes".
Albums will then play normally then by just clicking them in Songs or Albums views.
It worked! Not sure of the purpose of the check boxes, so won't know what it limits now or enhances with it unchecked.But it fixed my issue.

Why won't itunes play certain songs on macbook

I bought a song on iTunes recently. It played a few times, but yesterday when I tried to play it the song wouldn't play. I checked it again today and it still won't play. When I sync my ipod it won't show up either. Please help, i'm not good with computers and I have no clue what to do!

I will try that on my Macbook Pro when I get home, if I can figure out how to do it (some more detailed instructions would help. . .). The problem I'm having is songs I ripped from CDs into my iTunes library. The songs and CDs are all available for purchase on iTunes, so I'm not talking about some obscure music. iTunes recognizes them. Some of the songs from a given CD play; others do not. In two cases, entire albums won't play. were originally ripped from CDs into my iTunes library on an HP computer running Windows 7 (my Macbook doesn't have a CD drive). All of the songs appear and play fine there. However, the "grayed out" iCloud icon problem exists (and I can't play those songs) on my Macbook, my iPhone 5S or on my PC at work - which leads me to believe it's an iCloud or iTunes problem. . .

Why won't iTunes play some songs from the cloud

I am traveling with my MacBook Pro and opened my iTunes library. I have iTunes Match also. Some of my albums have the cloud with the down-pointing arrow...but they won't play and when you click on it, nothing happens. What am I missing?

Why won't iTunes play .m4a files?

I have some songs on a flash drive from another computer that I want to import to my iTunes. But whenever I copy them to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder they appear in iTunes as 0:00 seconds long! I did some testing and found that I could add any other type of audio file (.mp3 .wav .wma) and it worked. But .m4a files don't. I can just conver all of my music to .mp3, but I would like to kep the .m4a quality.
Any help would be great!

This doesn't concern Windows, but maybe it's relevant anyway.
Today, I emailed myself an .m4a voice recording from a Samsung smartphone that had created it minutes earlier.
After opening that email message, I saved the .m4a file to my Mac (iMac 21.5 inch) running Yosemite.
Clicking on the saved file's icon launched iTunes (version 12.0.1.26), which then did nothing no matter what I tried.
However, selecting the file on the desktop caused a dialog box to open. That box asked which application I wanted to use for opening the sound file. The available applications shown were VLC, QuickTime Player, Flip Player, and RealPlayer. I was pleased to find that VLC, QuickTime, Flip Player, and RealPlayer each played the file straightforwardly and flawlessly.

Why won't iTunes play songs all the way through?

I don't understand, and I am very frustrated... I JUST PAID for a bunch of music on iTunes & there are a few songs that play all the way through to completetion. For instance, I bought Rihanna's album LOUD & the song Fading only plays to :54 seconds; after which it claims to have played all the way through and skips to the next song? What the ****? I dont understand what the problem is... Help?

Delete the songs from your itunes library (just your library). Redownload them from the purchased section in the itunes store. I had the same problem and redownloading it worked for me.

Why won't iTunes play some songs?

I have an album that iTunes, and only iTunes, refuses to play. There are 11 songs and 9 of them are unnable to be imported to or played with iTunes.
-The files still work as they can successfully be opened with Quicktime and Windows Media Player.
-All the files are the same type as all of the other songs I have that will play, and appear to have no errors.
-My iTunes is up-to-date.
-These songs would play before, and are even on my iPod, but recently they
-The songs will not appear in my library at all. I DOT NOT have the problem where the "!" appears. All files are accounted for, the problem is that I cannot open them in iTunes.
simply will not be played through iTunes.
Is there a way to fix this?
BTW...I'm using Vista...

Dragon911X,
Do you have a question?
If so, you should start your own post and not jump on someone elses topic that is already answered and completely differnt than your question.
my music skipped to another song
Make sure all songs have a checkmark in front of the song name.

What does MSVCR80.dll mean and why won't iTunes play

I made a mistake of trying to play music while doing an update. Now I can't open iTunes and I get the message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" It DOES NOT. I have deleted all the apple programs and things off my computer then re-installed them. It did not change the message I am getting. I am also getting the message that "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-instal iTunes. Error 7 Windows error 126" I have tried to restart it making it the administrator. It didn't help. What do I do now?

Why won't iTunes play my favorite radio anymore?

When I click on one of the radio channels in my favorites under Playlists, iTunes does not start streaming it. When I click on the play arrow, nothing happens then either. When I go to radio under LIBRARY, there is not problem playing the channels there.

I have 2 identical mirrored, machines running, home and office. Both happened same day. OOpps. But, if you play a radio station downloded with the link from the original station, these play. It's only the stations dragged from the Apple pick lists. I think they inadvertanly reassigned links in coding.
I have seen small coding issues that were corrected after mistakes by update programmers who didn't test the software updates completely. Apple is probably the best at quality control, but I remember one case where they had to roll out an update (note they don't call it a patch) in a week to correct a .jpg preview problem. Not sure if it was an overzealous legal team issue or what.
Mysteriously seems like the same thing. In the last case, It would pop up with a permission statement each time, even if it was your photo. After calling, they said, dah, it must be me. Waddya know, 1 week later it was fixed. No pop-up.
Could this be just what KMurph81 said. always about money? I think Apple introduced a "softfart." A **** in the software. Hopefully this too will pass, without much smell.

Why won't iTunes play a full album in order when there are featured guests on the album?

I have downloaded numerous CD's that have featured guests and iTunes will not play them in order or at all if I play the album. What can I do to fix this issue?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Why won't google play work on firefox on my laptop when it works with internet explorer?

Google play will not play a movie on firefox -- whereas it works just fine if I open in Internet Explorer. What to do? I prefer to use Firefox.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
