Burning CDs for purchased music

I purchased songs on iTunes, but the Mac mini machine stops me from burning a CD with that music - something about "authorization" problems.
How do I change that authorization without having to reload everything?

Make sure you are burning the CD as an audio CD (the setting is in the iTunes -> Advanced -> Burning system preference).

My itunes wont check for purchased music

Every time I try to check for purchased music, my password and log in id are correct and my Internet connection is there, but every time I check, it tells me that it cannot check for purchased music and an unknown error has occurred, 11502. I need help because I cannot down load music that I have already purchased.

Hi Rickey,
I think you should contact the Music Store customer service agents to get help on this one. To contact them, go to the iTunes Help menu and select Music Store Service and Support and then click "iTunes Music Store
Customer Service" on that page.
Good luck,
Sara.

"cannot check for purchased music"

unknown error 11502. That's what it's telling me. what does it mean? how to I buy music?

Earlier today I was having problems like many iTunes users with downloading songs and connecting to the music store. Since then my pre-ordered music and purchased music has been downloading fine. I am having that same error (11502) that I am unable to check for purchased music. I had bought a pixar short video and don't see it in videos or in puchased music. When I try to purchase the movie again I get a message that it has already been purchased and just not downloaded. I tries to download and check which leads to the error message. Any ideas?

Check for Purchased Music when I open iTunes

Every time I open iTunes I get prompted to check for purchased music. Is there any way I can stop this from happening?

Everytime I launch iTunes, get "check for purchased music" message. Why?

Greetings Everyone,
After I installed iTunes 7.2 (for PC), and upgraded my library to the available iTunes Plus songs I started receiving this message.
This occurred after one song did not download during the iTunes Plus library upgrade. I received an error that was documented by an editor at MacWorld Magazine (it was a numbered error, I do not remember which one it was). I tried again the next day and was able to successfully complete the download.
However, every time I launch iTunes I am asked to input my AppleID and password to check for purchased music. This has become very annoying. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I have taken a few steps to troubleshoot this process. I tried rebuilding my iTunes library as suggested on this support site. That did not work. I deleted everything from my iTunes folder and then launched iTunes. The box asking me to check for purchased music did NOT appear. So I have narrowed it down to a problem with my library/configuration.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I had this problem and found some interrupted downloads stuck in my download folder. Quit iTunes and move the downloads folder to the desktop. Check inside and make sure you don't need to re-download those songs.
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads
I think that is a temporary folder that gets created during the download, then gets deleted when done. iTunes must be seeing at startup and asks for password to try to finish, but never does.

Checking for Purchased Music

I recently lost all of my music due to me crashing my hard drive...don't ask! Anyway, I went to go check for purchased music on iTunes and it gave me 149 of my 160 songs. I want those other 11 songs, but when I go and try to check for purchased music, now I'm getting 25 random songs that I've never even heard of! How do I get these 11 songs back? iTunes does not recognize my iPod anymore, so I can't plug it in or anything, but I do have a copy of the library.xlm copied on to my hard drive if that helps any. Let me know if anyone knows what to do, because I have also tried repurchase them, but it says I would have a duplicate, but that's not the case for me! Thanks.

I had to unauthorize my computer and authorize it again. I was then able to transfer my purchased music to my iTunes library.

Does iTunes in the cloud only work for purchased music?

Hi,
I was wondering, does iTunes in the Cloud only work for purchased music?
Also, does the automatic wifi sync feature not sync everything that it would if you manually iniate the wifi sync? The reason I ask is because my iPhone is often connected to my charger, and then today I decided to perform a manual wifi sync and it had a lot of content to update, definitly way more than any changes I've made since I plugged it in to the charger last night.
Thanks,
Brandon

Hi Brandon ...
You can turn on Music, Apps,and Books by tapping Settings > Store
Connecting your iPhone to a wall charger should not have any effect on sycning.

Conversion For Purchased Music - PLEASE HELP!

I've been toying around with this for a long time now and I can't seem to get my purchased music to play outside of the iPod. While I realize that the content is "protected" and that you can listen to the songs, say in the car, by purchasing iTunes adapter type devices, it's still really frustrating. Certainly in the internet world, somewhere out there, maybe there's a shareware/freeware program that can read and convert the .m4p format for us Windows users? (if you know of any, you can e-mail [email protected] if you don't feel comfortable revealing these on the boards)
I feel a bit ripped off since I bought the songs (whole CDs in some cases), yet I still don't have the flexibility to listen to my songs where I want to without purchasing the physical CD. If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated.

To play the iTunes files on another player burn them to an audio CD first then import that CD back into iTunes as MP3s. You'll lose a certain amount of quality going from one compressed form to another but you'll have a files that you can use elsewhere. This will also allow you to get them into MP3 format so that you can burn an MP3 disc if you have a compatible in-car CD player.

Itunes burns all but purchased music

I'm trying to burn a playlist of existing and purchased music, but each time it burns, it excludes the purchased music. I have never burned the purchased music before, so I haven't reached the 7 song limit, and I know I checked those boxes. The suggestions given by itunes haven't helped. The CDs are fine otherwise. Any help is appreciated.

1st check if your purchased music will play on your Mac - maybe you need to authorize those tracks.
2nd check twice if your iTunes Burning Preferences are set to "AudioCD" (or DATA DVD/CD) as purchased music can't be burned to MP3 CDs.

ITunes 12 keeps reverting back to default info tags for purchased music

I have a large library of roughly 18,000 songs and the majority of them were not purchased through iTunes. I have my library very well organized, including detailed genre tags. iTunes by default only has music from their store tagged with very basic genre terms such as "rock, pop, alternative"... but when I go to change the info on the purchased songs to more specific tags such as "progressive rock, pop rock, alternative metal" it takes effect just fine, but only temporarily. When I go back to look at my list of genres a couple days later, the tags always seem to revert back to the basic "rock, pop, alternative" tags. Every time. And this only happens with the music purchased from the iTunes store, not the music from CDs and downloaded through other sources. Is there a way to stop iTunes 12 from screwing with my info tags for my music? This is becoming quite annoying.

Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
Then exit iTunes and open it up again. Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match). If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

TS3297 iPad. I removed music for storage That take re of and all nusic off of keeps on saying download error for purchased music. Two weeks

I cannot download purchased music on iPad 2. Error It is not a storage issue

I also had system issues a couple of weekends ago. I had to restore my computer. Once complete I reinstalled iTunes and then set all of my backup files in place (I back up my iTunes folder everytime I purchase something). The problem is, everytime I click on anything I purchased, movie or song, it tells me I am not authorized on this computer. I also am using just one computer and have been using the same one for the last couple of years. I attempted to deauthorized my system by following the instructions here in the forum plus instructions found on the site. After aproximatly 30 minutes I gave up on entering my user name and password over and over and over again. Do you know of anything else I can try? Thank you for the assistance:-)

Why can't I tunes match provide drm free versions for purchased music?

I bought Itunes match thinking that I was going to upgrade my entire library of purchased music from what was promised in their ads. most of my music does not seem to be available in drm free versions. is that normal?

Hi,
Most music can be upgraded with only a very small number not qualifying because the version of track is no longer available. Upgrading is not automatic. You need to delete the original and download upgraded version.

Hit 5 Transfer Limit for purchased music.Multiple drive failures. Wht Now?

I've had multiple drive failures on my G=4 and I've reached
the last allowable transfer of purchased music from my
Ipod back to the new drive.
****.... Why doesn't it just recognize the computer otherwise
so that my re=loads aren't used up. Only 5 are allowed.
So now....What happens if and when this drive fails? Do I then
lose all future use of that very expensive, purchased music?
Makes me want to NEVER download from the Itunes store again,\
if this is indeed the case.
What can I do?

There is no limit on "transfer of purchased music from my Ipod back to the new drive." You can store the iTunes Store purchased music as many times as your want on as many different hard drives, and play them all, as long as the computer doing the playing is authorized with your iTunes account (the one used to purchase the songs)
There is a "five" limit, and it is based on machine. You can play music purchased with a specific iTunes Store account on up to FIVE different computers at any given time. Each one is registered with the account, and when you reach five, you cannot add any more. The machine itself is identified (by something on the motherboard) so a new hard drive should not make the machine a "new" machine. So not sure what's happening if all you did was replace the hard drive...
In any event, you can clear your iTunes Store account of all authorized machines and get a fresh start. Here's how (see section +To deauthorize all computers associated with your account+ in the linked article).
