A song I just bought won't play in my iTunes?

I've never had this problem before though some of my friends have and now it's happening to me. I just bought a song probably 15 minutes ago and whenever I click on it to play it it skips to the next song. I tried playing it in quicktime and quicktime said it "wasn't authorized to play the song" and to play it in iTunes but I can't play it there either. I tried deleting the song from my purchased list and redownloading it with iCloud but it when I deleted it the cloud symbol didn't show up next to the song in my music library like it usually does for my other songs. So now I have no idea what to do. Has anyone had this happen to them and knows how to fix it?
Also my computer is authorized and there was no error message or anything.

If your country's iTunes Store supports redownloads, I'd try deleting the song from your library and redownloading it. For instructions, see the following document:

Some songs i just bought don't play fully

I just bought an album off of itunes, and some of the songs stop playing in the middle and itunes starts to play the next song. I can obviously see that the song did not play to its compleation. If i go back to the song, and click on a time after the point where the song stoped, itunes imidiatly plays the next song. How do I fix this?

Help PLEASE! My song I just bought will NOT play

I just bought a song off iTunes and it will not play. It finished downloading, and my computer is authorized to play music from the account I bought the song on. Does anyone know how to fix this problem I'm having?

Are you running the latest version of iTunes (7.1.1)? If not, upgrade and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, or you already have 7.1.1 and other tracks purchased from the same iTunes Store account play correctly, then you probably have a corrupt or incomplete download. Contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them.
Good luck.

A song that I just bought won't play more than 1 minute and 3 seconds with sound.

I bought a song 2 days ago and I tried to listen to it but only 1 minute and 3 seconds of it will play with sound. My iPod says that the song is still playing but there is no sound. The volume is up but there is nothing. I tried to "report a problem" when I got the email receipt but my iPod said it couldn't connect to the iTunes store.

Songs i just bought are not playing fully how do i fix this?

So, I just downloaded an album.
the songs will start playing, but after an average of 1 minute in, they will randomly switch to another song.
It's only happening with somgs from this album.
How do i remedy this? it's happening on both my iPod classic and my iTunes.

Resetting won't erase the iPod, you need to restore it to do that. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to name the iPod and automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you choose no it will default to manual mode which will default "enable disk use" and from there you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Can't listen to an entire song in Itunes. Randomly just skips the song in different places while it's playing. Song file is not corrupted - even doing it on a new song I just bought from Itunes today. Help :(

I just bought a new laptop and transferred over all of the songs. But I checked the ones that skip in Itunes in another music player and they work fine there - the files are not corrupted - and like I said, even a brand new song I just bought skips. The priority for Itunes is set to High. This comptuer has very high specs (it's a Lenovo IdeaPad) and the processing performance never even goes above 10%. I am a Disc Jockey and this is a severe problem. Please help...
If downgrading to a previous version of Itunes is the answer, how do I go about doing that? I'm currently running 10.5

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows sear

How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.

I've upgraded my pc and now Im getting an error message when Im trying to sync my ipod saying I have two itunes libraries. The library thats there is only showing some songs and it's not uploading songs Ive just bought.

You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day!

HT201272 I can't find my songs I just bought on my iPod touch..please help thank you

I can't find the songs I just bought on my iPod touch. Any help you can give me is appreciated.. Thank you

If they've finished downloading then they should be in the iPod's Music app - is that where you've looked for them ? If they don't show in there then have you tried closing the Music app via the iPod's taskbar and/or tried a soft-reset of your iPod to see if they then show up in Music ?

Reply to one of their stupid canned answers.
I don't think an actual human reads the first ones, I think a computer autobot spits out a likely answer.

Apple TV 3gen won't play content from iTunes, Apple TV 2nd gen works fine same network

Hi.
Recently, after all the most recent Apple updates, my Apple TV 3rd gen won’t play content from iTunes on my Mac. I have an Apple TV 3nd gen on the same network and it works fine. This problem started after the recent round of OS X updates( I am running 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5. As my Apple TV3 was actually new and I took it to the Apple store where they kindly gave me a new one but the same thing happens. The Apple TV 3rd gen will play content through the onboard clients like Netflix, iTunes, Bloomberg.
The Apple TV3rd gen won’t play anything form my computer’s iTunes library, whether or not it was purchased from the Itunes store or home movies from iPhone etc. I have restored the device a few times to no luck. I have even switched routers, same problem.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance.

Home sharing was configured and turned on. I can actually see all the content on my Mac. When I trry to play anything i just see the white spinning wheel on the black background.
