I'm having trouble with my itunes library. I cannot play songs on it, it doesn't matter what I do, but absolutely nothing will play. I am currently downloading Itunes 8, wondering if the version I'm working off is too old. If anyone can help me that would be great...we need our music!!
hello! I've figured out how to fix this on my machine. If you goto:
Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Sound -> Manage Audio Devices
Select your audio device and click the 'Properties' button. Then goto the 'Advanced' tab and ensure the card is set to the 16-bit 48000hz (DVD Quality) setting. Apply, and restart your programs and it should work! good luck.

Just a quick note to say a BIG thanks. 🙂 I had the same problem and your solution fixed it, though I am not sure if it did for the original poster. Thanks thanks! now my students and I can listen to our podcasts again.
(At this moment I'm at work, using iTunes on a Vista Fujitsu Tablet, though my profile indicates otherwise... at home I'm a Mac girl all the way!)
just thought I'd put in my two cents in case Apple actually reads these things as I have the same problem as everyone else. Plus, itunes runs really slow. When I click on something in itunes (a button or a rating) it will take a good 10-30 second for the click to take effect.
I followed both pieces of advice above, both repairing quicktime and changing my audio settings, and one of those worked. Itunes runs fine now for the first time ever. I hope apple realizes that this is a major problem that many itunes users encounter and a fix should be made.
I am new to iTunes, my songs stored on disk and other playlist will play when clicked, however I have one playlist with many songs that none of the songs will play. The difference between playlists is this particular one has a signal emblem/sign on each song.
Extremely irritating. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, changed audio settings..you name it. Music will open in QuickTime but iTunes can't seem to figure it out. I'll be sure to share my opinion and love for iTunes elsewhere.
That sounds like it is exactly the problem my husband is having at the moment on his pc...have you figured out a solution? He just downloaded all the updateds windows suggested and now none of his music will play in itunes and the speakers won't work for any program.
I had the same problem -- I'd try to play a song in iTunes but the time would be stuck at 0:00 and nothing would play; none of my other programs could produce any sound either. The problem happened all of the sudden -- I hadn't made any system changes or installed any new programs. As a solution, I tried to uninstall, reinstall, and repair iTunes & Quicktime, as well as change my audio settings, but nothing worked.
However, I was able to make it work with one further tweak. (I'm running Vista on an HP desktop computer. I have a "Realtek High Definition Audio" sound card.)
Go to *Control Panel* --> double click the
Sound icon --> select the properties of your default playback device (mine was "
Speakers") --> click the "
Enhancements" tab -->
check the box to "*Disable all sound effects*"
I'm not sure if there is a conflict with the Realtek audio drivers and iTunes/Quicktime, but there are obviously some problems somewhere in these systems and there doesn't seem to be a consistent solution. Different tweaks work for different people. All I can say is -- good luck!!
I have done all three of the suggestions, still nothing! I can play music from my library, most of the time, but never a preview on the itunes store!
Anyone find anythig that works other then 3 suggestions here?
omg thank you soooooooooooooooooo much. Ive had this problem for a month at least and have been trolling the forums only to find others with the same problems and no solutions. I was in contact with apple and they essentially said they didnt know what the heck was going on and couldnt help me. When I clicked on sound I got two messages that said I had enhancements to my speakers and mics that seemed to be causing problems and did I want to disable those. So I said yes and my itunes magically worked!
