I purchased a song, and it won't play. How do I fix it?

How do I go about getting a song I payed for to actually play?????  I use the same computer or phone to make my purchases, and this has never happened, every other song I downloaded the same night dowloaded correctly, but this one I guess didn't. How can I fix this?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • I have little exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play how do I get them to play?, I have little exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play how do I get them to play?

    I have exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play...how do I get them to play?

    I am not an expert but here's my two cents:
    The exclamation point means itunes cannot find the music file in order to play it. There are several possible reasons for this, including but not limited to changing the name or location of your music library/songs, or storing them on an external hard drive or device that is not currently attached. The solutions for these are different so let me know if any of these apply and we can troubleshoot.

  • I purchased a song and it won't play. Help, I'm new to Mac

    I purchased a song, and it shows up in my library, but it won't let me open it. I have authorised the computer, but that didn't work. I'm new to the whole mac thing, and would appreciate any help.

    Most likely it's an incomplete or corrupted 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.

    First try:

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    recently downloaded chris stapleton song and it won't play. what's up?

    Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • When I try to import songs/playlists to my iPhone 6, grey spotted circle shows up next to most songs and they won't play. Help

    I just set up my iPhone 6. I made a full backup from my 5 to iTunes. Everything was backed up and transferred except any of my music. Simple enough to do it manually, I thought and tried. But when I transfer a playlist from iTunes to the iPhone most songs show up in light grey with a dotted circle next to them once they are on the iPhone list and they won't play.
    There are lots of threats about grey dotted circles from the past. Does anybody know what the issue is? I have the newest iTunes version and IOS version (8.02) for the 6. Why is this happening and how can this be fixed? This is all my music on my mac and most of it was on my previous iPhone 5, so why won't it play on the 6?
    Thanks!

    OK,
    I was asking a little fast. It did indeed not work for a little while (up to 20 minutes) but once I started chatting with apple support it started resolving itself. The grey dotted circles mean two things. 1) the computer was taking some time to transfer the songs onto the phone (quite some time for some songs) but then they appeared on my phone. and 2) those songs I purchased, I can listen to on my phone and my imac, but they will remain unable to play (grey dotted circle) when I look at them on iTunes in my iphone playlist. So, I can play it on regular itunes or on my iphone, but not in my iphone folder on itunes. I hope that makes sense.
    So problem got resolved for me. I hope this helps.

  • Songs on Iphone now won't play, how do i fix this?

    I downloaded several songs from itunes from my phone. most continue to play, a couple played a few times and now wont play at all. I synced my iphone to my computer, took the songs off my iphone and put them back on and they still won't play. Ive redownloaded the songs and they still wont play. All of the songs will play on my computer but for some reason those few wont play just on my iphone. please help!

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Purchased songs and videos won't play on iPod

    new 5th gen iPod shows songs and videos purchased from itunes onto computer and synched into ipod library, but won't play them. songs loaded from cd play fine on ipod.

    Usually when this happes, the software on the ipod os not up to date.
    whe nyou connect the ipod to the computer and the ipod shows in itunes under devices, click the update or restore button to the right in the summary screen so itunes can check online to see if there is an updated version of the ipod software online.
    If you update first and that does not work, try the restore.

  • Purchased 3 songs.  1 won't play on my iTunes

    I purchased 3 songs off of iTunes about 10 minutes ago. 2 of the songs are playing fine. 1 of the songs, when I click play will not start playing...nothing happens. What can I do to make it play?

    It's probably a corrupt or incompletely download. Contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them.

  • What does it mean to have an exclamation mark in front of a song, and it won't play?

    I am trying to sync music from my itunes account that i didnt buy from itunes and its showing up with an exclamation mark when i click to play the song, and it wont sync all the songs i have. I havent had trouble with it before, so im trying to take any advice if you can help thank!

    When you add a track to iTunes, iTunes puts a line in a file (library,itl) saying when you click on the track to play it, iTunes should go play such-and-such a file in a specific location.  If that file gets renamed, or a folder containing it gets renamed, or a drive holding that file is disconnected, or a host of other reasons why the information pointing to the file is no longer valid, you get a ! 
    Use Spotlight or browse through the folder to see if the file is still on the computer.  You can try finding the file through iTunes to reconnect broken links.  If there are large numbers of them it gets more problematic but that are ways to try.  It helps though if we have some idea what caused this, such as you moving a folder (don't; move it back).

  • My iphone 4 will only sync certain songs and album from my itunes, how can I fix this?

    I have an iphone 4, and when I go to drag stuff to sync it to the phone it will only sync certain albums or songs, and not others. Mind you, these bands it will not sync now I have had on the phone in the past so I do not understand whats going on, I've tried redownloading Itunes, and factory setting my phone and none of which have seemed to work if someone can help that would be awesome!

    i had the same problem and just figured it out.
    plug in your iPhone and click on your phone under Devices in iTunes.
    then, at the top, where it says "Summary, Info, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Photos" click Music
    make sure the "Sync Music" box is checked along with "Entire music libary" and apply the changes.
    mine wasnt checked and it only had 37 songs in my phone out of 927 that were on my iTunes.
    hope that helps!
    (also make sure your AutoFill doesnt have any weird settings.)

  • I have reinstalled my Firefox, error statement "script no longer working...." and it won't open, how do I fix this?

    I have just deleted my current Mozilla Firefox and reinstalled. I am getting a statement that say, "A script on this page has stopped working, continue or stop script". The only way I can get firefox to load is to hit stop script. How can I fix this, please?

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
