BIZARRE - iTunes tells me songs are not authorized, then says they are???

Purchased several songs & a couple albums. Burned a couple of the albums to CD to use in my car. Whatever songs I burned to CD now will not play in iTunes. Message appears saying +"This computer is not authorized to play "Song Title". Would you like to authorize it?"+ HOWEVER, if I then enter my password to try & authorize the song(s) a 2nd message appears: +"This computer is already authorized."+
Says I need to authorize songs, then says I can't authorize because it's already authorized. End result is I can't use anything I've purchased. What could cause this?

Not sure about the question below, but I got my issue taken care of by de-authorizing iTunes, then reauthorizing it. I did receive a response from Apple within 48 hours as well and they de-authorized all my accounts as well - Apple is apparently aware of this issue and it seems to be isolated to the new version of iTunes (8).

    Delete the song from your Itunes music list, then redownload it, Itunes will ask you if you if you want to download it for free.  This seems to be the fix for my problems.

  • ITunes keeps saying a song is not authorized to play??

    I just bought an album on iTunes (same account I always use, the only one computer I have), and for some reason only ONE of the songs is telling me "This song is not authorized to play on your computer." I tried typing in my info to see if that would work, but it didn't, it said this computer is already authorized (which I already knew, because every other song on my iTunes plays, including all the other songs on this particular album). I followed all the tips on the support website for this particular issue and nothing worked. I also went into my account, deauthorized all the computers (my old computers that I don't have anymore were still on there), then reauthorized this one, and still no luck. How do I get this song to play?! So frustrating!

    Nevermind, I decided to delete the file and went to re-buy it. The store prompted me to download it for free since I had already purchased it, so I re-downloaded, and the new file is playing. Whew!

  • When transfering music into itunes, music not showing in itunes app, but songs are in music folder.

    when i transfered many songs from external hard drive into itunes library, the songs do not appear after transfer completes. it appears as if songs are being added to library. when i search through itunes app, songs are missing, when i go to the folder on computer that holds my itunes library songs are there. any help?
    latest version of itunes with windows 7.
    thanks

    Create a smart playlist that would match one of the albums. I suspect you'll find the tracks show up in it...
    My guess is that something has gone wrong with the internal index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should  fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes library folder, then start iTunes again. iTunes should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to clear up any anomalies.

  • Some of the items in the itunes library not were not copied to the itunes phone because you have not authorized them for this computer

    I'm getting a "some of the items in the itunes library not were not copied to the itunes phone because you have not authorized them for this computer" error message for some of my songs when I'm syncing to my iphone to my laptop.  I've authorized the computer, but I still get this error messge.  Any suggestions?

    Were these items purchased with a different Apple ID than the one you normally use?  If so, authorized the computer for that Apple ID.

  • My old computer crashed so I got a new computer and installed Itunes but some songs are grayed out.

    What actions, if any, did you take to transfer your iTunes Library from your old computer to your new one?  Unless you do so, the only songs that will automatically be available to you are your previous iTunes Store purchases - and even then this is dependent on both where you are (not all regional versions of the Store provide this facility) and whether the songs you've purchased are still available from the Store.
    As leofanti points out, iTunes Match is not a backup service for your library.

  • TS1424 I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • What a pain -on a mac-never had aproblem-loaded a new shuffle with music -will not let me sync itunes store bought songs-will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

  • HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

    How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

    I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

  • I'm traveling in the US, have Canadian account, try to buy things on my iPad, but it tells me I am not authorized to shop int the US store and to change to the Canadian store.  HOW?

    I'm traveling in the US, I want to download something, but it tells me I am not authorized to use to US store.  How do I switch back to Canadian store?

    Launch the App Store app. Tap the featured tab. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and tap on your Apple ID. Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to Country/region. Change the store in that setting.

  • I keep getting emails for iTunes purchases that I have not authorized

    I have received several emails for iTunes purchases that I have NOT authorized.  The name on the Billed To is not my name or address, but it includes my Comcast email address.  I don't know if I am being charged for these purchases through Comcast or not, but these receipts should not be coming to me.  What can i do?

    If the email is asking you to verify your account or in any way provide personal informaton, it's a fake, trying to scam you out of your account information or credit card details. Do not respond to any emails that have a link asking for personal information. Just delete the message.
    Regards.
