Can't play purchased songs even on an authorized computer. I have tried all the fixes with no help.

I just recently purchased a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the latest edition of itunes, and transfered all of my old itunes purchases from my XP computer onto this new computer. The problem that I am having is that I am being prompted for my password everytime I try to play purchases on this new computer, even though I get a message telling me that this computer is already authorized to play purchases under this account. Whenever I try to play the song, I keep getting this same message everytime I enter my password. It also seems I am unable to deauthorize the machines that were authorized using one of the old accounts that I made purchases on in the past. When I go into my itunes account under the username and try to "deauthorize all computers" nothing happens, and it still tells me that I have 5 out of the available 5 computers authorized, even after I try to deauthorize all of them. I have mainly noticed the problem on the older songs that I purchased. Most of the recently purchased songs don't re-prompt me for my password when trying to play them. I have tried all the suggested fixes on the support webpage such as deleting the "SC" folder and changing the security slider settings, but the problem keeps coming up. Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to fix this problem and how to try again to deauthorize all computers and then reauthorize this particular new computer running Windows 7? Thanks for the help!

Oh, and I checked here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939 and you are correct!
I do have an iPhone 3G not a 3GS.
So does that mean that I cannot get any later software than iOS 4.2?

TS1389 Repeatedly asking to authorize a computer, but then says it is already authorized. I have tried all the fixes listed, nothing works! Now I can't sync my phone

Apple, why can't you fix this? I haven't even seen anyone from apple comment.
Every day that Jobs is gone, apple becomes more like Microsoft.
Does anyone have a fix? I have tried all the fixes short of a restore on my phone.

Hello Becky,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the explicit songs in iTunes. Have you checked to see if the explicit content is restricted in your iTunes Preferences?
If you have "Music with explicit content" checked under the Restrict menu, it will restrict music that is shared, on iTunes in the cloud, and music in the iTunes Store.
Use the steps in the following article to check these settings:

You Tube videos play for 2-3 seconds. I have tried all the fixes listed on this site.

You tube videos were playing well and then started to load slow and play video for 2-3 seconds at a time. We updated Adobe Flash player and Internet explored to version 11 and tried all the listed fixes but nothing is fixing the problem.

1. If Side Switch is set to Mute, check to make sure it's not muted

2. Check the Volume buttons

3. Double-click the Home button; swipe the Task Bar to the right. Check the Mute and Volume settings.

I have Windows 7 Pro, 64Bit. Itunes works fine except I can't go to the ITunes store from in the software. It starts and then goes blank page. I have tried all the fixes and had a IT group working all day on this. Not fixed. Any suggestions?

Using I Pod NANO. Installed I Tunes on Windows 7 Pro, 64 Bit.
Software works fine. Only problem is that I can't open up the
Store page from in the software. It just shows a blank screen.
Looks like it starts but then just freezes.
IT department worked all day. Reloaded software, set up
security, checked msconfig files. Tried all sorts or revissions.
Nothing works? Yet it works fine on my Windows 7 Home edition?
ANYONE have a clue. This Apple software is not the friendliest!!
This is very frustrating for something so simple to use!
This used to work. Upgraded to 10.3.3.. No good. Tried other revisions,
No Good! Can't purchase music or have the website fully pull up at all
from I Tunes.
Appreciate any help if some has been through this. My service that
I have for IT had to give up. 6 hours of things they tried. Nothing worked.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day!

I keep getting error 1202, and I have tried everything I've ever found (registry, time/date, reinstall, etc), and it still doesnt work!!!! can someone please help.

So you're not trying to downgrade iOS?
Make sure itunes is up to date then try restoring via recovery mode. Follow the link below to do this:

Having a problem sending email, I have tried all the fixes, but no luck, actually it works at times and most times it does not. What more can I try.

Issues send email from my macbook Pro, it is a web based email, and I can send it by logging into the webmail site. The odd part is that sometimes it just works and most times it does not. I go through and make some random changes and and then go back and change it back and it wold work for that email, and then a few minutes later I try to send another and does not work, try doing the same and this time it does not work, getting a little frustrated, what else can I do, except chage back to a windows based laptop?

If you're having trouble sending, but not receiving, mail, it's likely due to your outgoing (SMPT) server settings.
Which webmail service are you using? Some provide some good guidelines on setting up your account, some not so good.

I had to do a restore on my PC, and therefore reinstall iTunes. Now that I have done so, my "other" space has increased to 6.50 GB for no reason, and I can no longer sync the same amount of music as previously. I have tried all the fixes I can find.

Everything used to fit. It was only after I removed the music to sync because this is considered a "new" library that the "Other" space appeared to this extent.

Since this first message, the "Other" space has increased exponentially. The first time, after the "restore", it increased to over 9 GB. Later, I tried a minor restore again, and now it's over 10 GB. I've seen someone suggest that text messages are to blame. If my text messages are suddenly taking up 4 GB of space, I think we've got bigger problems.

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all my songs play except for about 8 or 9.

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is "unable to find the original file?" I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

Backup drive?
Subscribe to iTunes Match?
If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck. A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work. You can buy a lot of CDs for $200.

I just bought a ipod touch. I am unable to use it because itunes tells me I have no internet connection (unknown error 306). I have tried all the suggestions I can find, including checking the firewall, the no proxy server is checked, resetting cache on itunes, I even scanned the computer with Registry Easy but nothing worked. I use Mozilla Firefox and have a PC with Windows 7. Obviously, buying a ipod and being unable to use it for 3 days (and counting) because I am unable to register it, is pretty frustrating. Can anyone help?

Did you try all of this:
iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
To reset iTunes Store cache:
In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the "Reset cache" button.
Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Access iTunes preferences:
On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Parental Controls tab.
Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.
For more information on other security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues.

My iPad mini won't play my music either and I have tried all the suggestions on the forum. I have no problem with my music on my full size iPad or my MacBook.

My iPad mini won't play my synced music. I have tried all the suggestions on the forum, but it still does not work. Also it crashes on the selected song selected. I have never had a problem with my other iPad or MacBook.

What exactly have you tried?
"All the suggestions on the forum" doesn't really mean anything. It would be pointless for us to suggest something that you have already tried.

I CAN'T GET MY MACBOOK AIR, IPHONE OR IPAD CONNECT TO EACH OTHER THROUGH BLUETOOTH. I HAVE TRIED ALL THE SUGGESTIONS I HAVE READ, INCLUDING RESTARTING DEVICES, FORGETTING DEVICES, TURNING BLUETOOTH ON AND OFF.

I am unable to connect my Macbook air, iPhone or iPad though bluetooth. I have tried all the suggestions I have read. i.e. toggle bluetooth on and off, turn devices on and off, forget devices and then pair. I seem to be able to pair but the devices immediately go to not connected and a message appears that reads: make sure devices are turned on and in range.

Pairing the phone with the car is one thing, but paring to the computer is not generally supported. Tethering is using the cellular data access from the phone for the other devices. It is part of Personal Hotspot. If you aren't aware of what it is, then it probably is something you do not use.
As far as the car is concerned, what is not working? Does the car not see the phone, or the phone see the car, or after you start to pair something fails? If you provide more information about the problem and what you have tried to do to correct it, then we can offer some solutions. What version of the iPhone, what iOS, and what year and make of vehicle?

Can't play purchased songs even on an authorized computer. I have tried all the fixes with no help.
