.wmv's open up iTunes (but don't play)

Why iTunes? I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player 10, but can't find any place to point Safari to the it...

There is no WMP 10 for the Macintosh. Microsoft has stopped development of the Mac version and the most recent version, last updated in 2003, is WMP 9.
Flip4Mac is supposed to redirect windows media to Quicktime, not iTunes, although some people, including myself, have had inconsistent results using Flip4Mac for streaming, but it seems to be fine for files on your computer.
Are these wmv files you downloaded? If so, Control-Click on one and select Get Info. When the Get Info box comes up, choose Windows Media Player in the "Open With" box and then click on "Change All". Close the Get Info box and wmv files should now open in WMP. Do the same to a wma file if needed.

I have movies converted to mp4 that play on iTunes but don't play on apple tv2, any ideas why?

I've converted many avi files to mp4 using AVIDEMUX. All of them are on iTunes and there I can watch all of them, but when playing them using AppleTV 2, some can't be played and no error is showed on apple tv. Any ideas on how to fix it?

actual details of the file. (bitrate, framerate, resolution etc).
open the file in quicktime and then open the movie inspector. post those results.

Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

Sure there is.
1. restart your computer in Single User Mode (by pressing Command + S during boot - see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1492)
This will boot your OS X system in a kind of command line mode.
Note: this will not work if you have a Firmware password set.
2. when in Single User Mode, enter the following command
mount -uw /
to mount your OS X file system.
3. now you can enter the following command
passwd username
replacing "username" by your OS X user's short name. Then you will be prompted to enter the new password for that user. You will have to confirm that new password.
Note that you will not see any character showing when you enter the new password; this is expected behaviour.

How are you attempting to open iTunes, and can you describe exactly what happens when you do?
Do you recall just what software update you performed?

If you mean a newsstand subscription then try logging into your itunes account on a mac or pc.

After software update, I can see the songs on iPod nano in iTunes, but I cannot play/move the songs from iTunes.

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?

I have downloaded a book from itunes but it wont play. It says it has downloaded and i have checked this against the store.

I've had similar issues. Turning off firewalls seems to help the download to complete properly. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the problem might be.

Tried repeatedly to download the ios6 on my iPad 3 and keep getting error. message. How do I take care of this? Said I could do it through iTunes but don't know if I have the last updated iTunes either, how can you tell?

I have made numerous attempt to download the ios6 on my iPad 3 and it starts but then stops and gives me an error message. Someone suggested that it could be done on my main computer in iTunes but that has to be updated and I don't know how to tell if mine has been updated or not. How do I get this installed? Anyone please help?

We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.
You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

Songs appear on my ipod 5 when it is connected to my itunes but don't show on the ipod, what should i do?

I have just bought the new i touch and synced my songs from my itunes to the itouch. However, the songs appear on my ipod when it is connected to the itunes but aren't actually on my ipod.
What should I do?
Thanks

Hi Hirra,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've synced your iPod touch with iTunes, but the music doesn't appear on the device, you may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the right article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

Movies are on Itunes but don't show on my Ipod

Hello
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong... I have a few mp4 movies and they are showing up on my Itunes and it says they sync with my Ipod, but then when I look at my Ipod there are no movies, videos or anything under there...
Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be going wrong?
Thanks a ton!

If you're having the same problem that I am, here's what I think's going on...
I've got mp4 movies, and they're in iTunes, but not showing up on my iPod.
Because I made them in iMovie'08, I've encoded them as both Medium & Large files.
It looks as if the large (high quality) version has been entered into iTunes, not the iPod compatible one.
Go to your 'Library', then down to 'Movies'.
Highlight the movie you want to have in your iPod, now go to the 'Advanced' selection on the top bar.
Whoa! The 3rd one down said 'Convert to iPod/' but now it's a gray area that I can't click on, and it says 'Covert to mp3'
But as I look down to where my playlists, there's a selection that's showing 'Converting.'
I wait with baited breath.
Good luck to us!

Bought album and it downloaded in iTunes but it only plays partial of first song and then skips to next song in album, help?

Well I bought the Bring Me The Horizon album There Is A **** Believe Me I've Seen It, There Is A Heaven Let's Keep It A Secret on my iPhone and it synced to iTunes on my laptop. The entire album was downloading however when the first song was starting download it displayed an error message and I quickly pressed okay and disregarded it. The rest of the album resumed download and completed. I then went up to the download button next to the search input in the upper right hand corner and finished download for the rest of the song. When I went to listen to the album I was in a minute into the first song, "Crucify Me," and it skipped to the second song in the album, "It Never Ends." I tried playing it over and opening and re-opening iTunes but it still persists to skip the first song a minute in... so it appears to be a partial download. I mean, I have the album downloaded on my iPhone (this was the original site of purchase and download) but currently I am not in a state to do anything with that because my USB cable broke so my phone's been dead for the past few days and I'm waiting until tomorrow to get one with my father, I'm just a 14 year old girl afterall. I need a quick fix for this error and soon, preferably one without needing my iPhone because I want to listen to this album tonight and make sure it's all in order (and so I know what to do for future reference in case this happens again.) Please let me know your suggestions on resolving this issue. - Taylor
P.S. I've inserted a picture of what my iTunes looks like just in case it might help, which I doubt, but it might. Also please don't judge the Blood On The Dance Floor albums... I went through a phase that involved **** music.

Hi cruzansingerboi,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you've downloaded tracks on your iPhone and you want to download those same tracks on your PC. The article linked below will walk you through downloading previously purchased tracks on another device.
Download past purchases

You can also transfer the purchased content from your iOS device to your computer, as shown here:

Just bought a dell pc with windows 8. on my old pc (vista) i would right click a movie (in itunes format) and say open with itunes and it would play. Now it won't open in itunes and it just CRASHES. HELP PLEASE. is there a glitch with win 8???

okay not sure how this works so here i go again.
Okay i bought a dell pc with windows 8 (big mistake) i downloaded itunes and from my external hard drive, right clicked a movie file (in ipad format, because this worked in vista on my old laptop) and it will not go into itunes. And itunes keeps crashing. Is there a glitch with win 8 and itunes ? I never had this prob with vista. I would right click a file and say open with itunes and poof it goes in the library. Please help before i throw this thing out the window! OH newest itunes is what i have installed.

Take a look at this MBP, a refurbished unit. Don't let the late 2011 release date put you off. For about $500 less than an equivalent 'new' one with similar specifications you get a quad core CPU and excellent graphics. As Steve359 mentioned, this can be upgraded if the need arises and has the same warranty as a 'new' one
I would not be surprised that these may actually be 'new' MBPs due to the length of time that they have been replaced by the current generation. I purchased a 17" model about 5 weeks ago, and a serial number check suggests that it is 9 weeks old.
