A purchased song doesn't play, and won't authorize

I purchased an album, and one of the songs on the album won't play.  It comes up with the Authorized box like the song hasn't been authorized, but even when I do it over and over it still won't play.  IT also won't play on any of my devices, or other computers that are authorized on this account.

Try deleting the problem track from iTunes (allow iTunes to move the track file to the trash) and then re-downloading it via this procedure:

If the track still doesn't work, notify the iTunes Store about the problem:

  • Purchased songs no longer play and unable to authorise PC

    Songs that I have purchased from the iTunes store have suddenly ceased playing and have been removed from my iPod.
    Whenever I try to play one, I get presented with the authorisation window and enter my password. I then get the message that authorisation was successful quickly followed by a message that an unkown error has occurred.
    If I look under iTunes > Advanced the Deauthorize Computer option is available, inferring that the computer is authorized.
    This is starting to annoy me now as I cannot play music I have purchased.
    What on earth is wrong?

    I then get the message that authorisation was successful quickly followed by a message that an unkown error has occurred.
    are you getting a -208 error message number with that, Demonic?
    what version of itunes are you currently running? to check, in itunes go "help > about itunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. for example, mine says "itunes 7.0.1.8".

  • Song doesn't play and skips to next song

    I downloaded a song onto my Ipod from my computer and it plays perfectly on my computer but when I try to play it on my Ipod, it doesn't work and just skips straight to the next song on the playlist. I already tried to add it again but it still doesn't work. What should I do?

    Have you tried resetting your iPod?
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
    Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT201272 I have deleted a song from my library and want to re-download it.  When I access my purchased items in the iTunes store, the song has the 'purchased' button next to it and won't let me re-download. Any suggestions for things to try?

    While you can redownload most past purchases without charge, you can't redownload movies without paying again.  See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

    My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

    Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

  • Upgraded to itunes 8.0 - Purchased Songs now wont play - no error message.

    Upgraded to itunes 8.0 - Purchased Songs now wont play - no error message.

    You are in that awful authorization loop.
    Here are some steps to try.
    1. Deauthorize, then reauthorize your PC - it might be using multiple authorizations and this article shows you how to fix that.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206
    And make sure you authorize for all iTS accounts, even that old one from 3 years ago you may have forgotten about.
    2. Delete the SC Info folder. The entire folder, not just the file. It will get rebuilt the next time you start iTunes. Don't forget to restart your PC, as the article says.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    3. Get a free single of the week, which has the latest DRM on it, and play a few seconds of it. Sometimes the latest song of the week fixes everything.
    And if that doesn't work, contact iTS support from this page - use the Contact Us button.
    They will tell you to do the same things; reply back to their canned response.

    My audiobook I just bought won't play and won't delete. Any ideas? What does the read/white half moon mean?

    Try deleting the song and redownloading it if you are in a country (USA is one) that allows free redownloads by:

  • After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play

    After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play (though they still play on the computer).  When I tested it on another computer it claimed that computer was not authroied to play these songs even though I was just playing them directly off the ipod.  Even more strange is that I alos have a number of songs loaded on my itunes from albums I loaded and I am fairly sure these songs were ones I recorded rather than purchased but now they appear on my purchased list.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • What to do if itunes erases the songs on your iphone and won't allow you to resync them back?

    what to do if itunes erases the songs on your iphone and won't allow you to resync them back?

    Do you get any specific error messages?  Double-check the following:
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for any purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone.
