3 out of 8 songs from iTunes album won't load to nano?

Purchased an album from itunes. 3 of 8 songs wont load to ipod nano. Message is "cannot be played because audio format is not supported". Questions: how come itunes sells different formats for different songs on the SAME album? How come itunes sells songs that won't play on the nano? How come itunes does not warn customer *before paying* that the songs will not work on the ipod???

Yup, my Mac here at work is authorized. Not sure if my computer at home is since I've never bought iTunes from there-- I presume not.
Thanks for the article. It says right at the top that using an iPod set up for Windows on a Mac won't work-- I'll bet that's my problem. Well, I feel sort of stupid. Don't want to lose the iTunes I bought, though. Would I be able to store those iTunes on a flashdrive and bring them home that way, to load onto my home Windows computer and then onto my iPod? I don't have my flashdrive here today to try it, and I know iTunes are protected for copyright issues and stuff....

  • I have a downloaded song from iTunes that won't play on my computer.

    I purchased a song from iTunes on my iPhone 5. I've synced it with my computer. My iTunes won't let it play and gives me a message saying the my computer isn't authorzied to play the song. When I put my info it, it says that my computer is already authorized but still won't play it. It also won't play on my iPhone.

    The trick of deleting the song to the Recycle Bin, dragging it to the Desktop and then back into iTunes worked. My guess is that because our computer was not authorized at the time of the purchase (this was our first purchase from the iTunes Store), the original file downloaded in a protected format. The computer has since been authorized, so the Recycle Bin ruse tricks iTunes into thinking it's a new file. I would still like to hear a confirmation of this from someone who knows though. Also, Apple should tell people to authorize their computers before making any purchases. It will save some confusion it seems.
    Thanks for the tip.

  • How to retrieve deleted songs from itunes albums list

    hi,
    In my itunes library I've got several albums. Since a long time (me or someone else arround me) have deleted randomly some tracks from some albums. So these songs are no more available in iTunes list (xml file) nor in the hard disk. All the scripts I've found on the net cannot help me to get ths list of removed tracks.
    My question is : "Is there a script or software able to retreive the list of missing song in each album I've in my iTunes application (macintosh) ? I think that thi magic script should perhaps query the CDDB database or someting like that.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Unless you have a copy of a .xml file with the play lists contents before deleteing - your are outta luck.
    Even if you have a .xml file the actual files - from your discription - have been deleted from the HD - hence you will need to add those tunes back into iTunes - then add those tunes back into the PL.

  • I can't play one song from iTunes album, always asks me to reauthorize

    For some reason my iTunes asked me to reauthorize and I remembered my account and password, but I still can't play one Tom Waits song. I bought the whole album on iTunes but one song I click on it to play and it asks me to reauthrize I do and it won't play. I can reauthorize a half dozen times and it won't play, it'll play the other songs on the album but not this one.
    Any ideas?

    Delete the song and redownload.

  • How to easily delete songs from itunes that won't sync?

    I just bought my first ipod (a 32Gb Touch), however I have been using itunes for about two years and have about 4100 songs in itunes.
    After my initial install years ago, I tested the sync with a friends ipod. Now there are about 100 of these songs in itunes that were his, which prompt me that they can't sync everytime I sync my Touch.
    I would like to just delete them, but I don't see any way to sort or select these 100 songs in a group to delete them and I dread the idea of going through my large song list and deleting them one at a time.
    Does anyone have an easier way of mass selecting and deleting songs that won't sync? I wish itunes would let me do thins right from the list it was showing me, but no luck.
    Thanks!

    Sort by *Date Added* and they should all be at the same place in the list.

  • Same songs from different albums won't download at the same time

    Hi Guys I need your help. So i purchased some albums, Some of them have the same songs, and I want those songs to appear on both albums they're in, but it wont. When the song is downloaded on Album 1, it would disappear from album 2. For example, i purchased an EP and then the deluxe version of it later on., the songs i already have from EP, would no longer download to appear in the deluxe version.. Can I do  something about it so I can have the complete copy of each album I purchased?

    Historically, I've always kept prior versions installed because sometimes, albeit infrequently, I need to access extensions that aren't compatible with the newer versions of CS. Since I can run DW & Fireworks CS4 together, I'm inclined to leave them installed.
    I've thought about uninstalling CS 5, but I don't think that would resolved my issue. I've already tried most of what's in the Adobe troubleshooting suggestions save for creating a new administrator account.
    I think I'll hobble along with my current workarounds since I'll be migrating to a new computer very soon, which should acomplish what creating a new administrator account would. I'll probably limit the reinstall to CS 6 to eliminate any issues that might be related to having multiple versions installed, which in reality shouldn't be an issue because again, I've always done that successfully in the past.
    Thanks for the suggestion just the same.

  • How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums?

    How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums when the artist has many collaborators on the different songs, for example Timbaland?  I want to just listen to the full album with all the songs, instead of having to play every song separately.

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

    Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

    Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

  • Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this!

    Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this! Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it? Thanks!

    Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
    - Close iTunes, if it's open
    - Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
    - Select 'Security' on the top
    - Untick all the security options in the menu
    - Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
    - Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
    - Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
    - You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
    - Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
    Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
    I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
    I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

  • I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded and I cannot play any of the songs.  I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems.  How do I delete these albums and reload them?  I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

    I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded on my iPad Mini and I cannot play any of the songs.  I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems.  How do I delete these albums and reload them?  I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

    If the albums do appear in the Music app, hold down on the album icons and the X to delete will pop up on the icons. Tap the X to delete the albums.
    You don't see a anything in iCloud, you see your previous purchases in the purchased tab of the store that you bought the content in. So you find your music purchases in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on your iPad. Tap on Purchased and look for the albums in the Not on this iPad section - assuming that you are able to delete the albums from the device.
