Can't play music in library

On my MacBook, when I try to play a song in my library on iCloud I get a message that this computer is not authorized to play it; but when I try to authorize it, I get a message that this computer is already authorized. Help!

Hi Sunshine Coda
Since no one has yet responded with a definitive answer try this:
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose "Deauthorize This Computer…"
Enter your account name and password.
Click OK. A message appears reading "This computer has been successfully deauthorized."
Click OK.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 above. If you see the same message reading: "This computer has been successfully deauthorized," then your computer was using multiple authorizations.
Continue to repeat steps 2 through 5 above until you see a message reading "This computer was not authorized. To authorize this computer, play a song or video you have purchased using this account."
Then, try to play that song again. You will be asked to authorize the computer, after which the "already authorized" message should cease appearing.

  • Can't play music in Library upon transfer to new computer

    Trying to move my library to a new computer. My I-pod is broken (otherwise I'd use it as a "hard drive" to transfer the music, so I used an external hard drive. I copied the iTunes folder from the old computer to the hard drive. Then downloaded the newest iTunes version on the new computer. I transferred (or at least I think I did) the library to the new computer. When the external hard drive is plugged in, I'm able to click on and play any song in the library. However, when I unplug the external hard drive and try to select a song, I get a message stating "the song (name of song) could not be used because the original file could not be found". I am assuming that I somehow didn't transfer the files correctly, but I'm at a loss for how to do it. The new computer is Vista, the old was XP. I'm familiar with XPs capability to open Window's Explorer and copy and paste from one place to another. But I don't see Window's explorer on Vista and therefore don't know how to copy and paste from one drive (in this case my exteranl drive) to the C drive on the new computer. HELP!!!

  • ITunes 8 download - now can't play music from library

    I recently had to reinstall my operating system. Moved all my music to back up drive. Downloaded iTunes8 and directed it to see music on back up drive. When I open iTunes, I see the all my songs but....when I select to play a song I get the following error message:
    "This computer is not authorized to play "song name". Would you like to authorize it? I then enter my apple ID and password and hit authorize. When I hit the play button again, I receive the following message:
    "This machine is already authorized. I hit okay and the whole process starts over again if I try to play the song. HELP!

    i am having the same issue, OS 10.5.4 and iTunes 8. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Chris

  • Cannot play music from library. URL/itunes/win/1.5/was not found on this server

    CAN NOT PLAY MUSIC FROM LIBRARY.  MESSAGE READS URL/ITUNES/WIN/10.5/WAS NOT FOUND ON THIS SERVER.
    APACHE/2.2.3 (Oracle) Server at help.apple.com Port 80

    I have the same problem, where iTunes seems to work OK, but the server where they maintain their help files is not available. It looks to me like Apple keeps all their help information on a server named help.apple.com, and the people that maintain that server have not gotten around to creating the appropriate help folders for iTunes 10.5. If you go to http://help.apple.com/itunes/win/10.4, you find the help for 10.4. Maybe it's the same as for 10.5, and maybe not.

  • Some music files do not show up in google play music app library.  I did clear cache/data and restarted phone.  The music is stored on the SD card.  Most of the music in the library is in the same folder on the sd card.  I can play the song from file mana

    some music files do not show up in google play music app library.  I did clear cache/data and restarted phone.  The music is stored on the SD card.  Most of the music in the library is in the same folder on the sd card.  I can play the song from file manager, but it still is not in the music library in play music.

    Cyndi6858, help is here! We'd be happy to help figure this out. Just to be sure though, the Droid Maxx should not have an SD card. Is this the Droid Razr Maxx? How did you add the music to the device? Are you able to see the files and folders located on the SD card or device when plugged in?

  • Can I play music from my iTunes library on my pc through my living room speakers if I buy Apple TV?

    Can I play music from my iTunes library on my pc through my living room speakers if I buy Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes either the Apple TV or the AirPort Express can do that for you.

  • I just installed the latest Apple TV software update today. I can still play music from my iPhone 4 to th eATV but purchased movies don't seem to start playing now - or else the buffering time is huge compared with the previous software version.  Any fix

    I installed the latest software update on our Apple TV - this allows us to access VIMEO.  However, although we can still play music from an iPhone 4 we can no longer play purchased tv shows - unless the buffering process has been extended to be glacially slow!  It just shows it is loading but under the previous software release a show would start in a minute or two, nothing is happening afer 4 or 5 minutes with this one.

    Thank you BDAua. This is what I typed and the reply from Terminal
    java -version
    java version "1.6.0_45"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06-451-11M4406)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01-451, mixed mode)
    BTW - this application does NOT show up in the Applications folder and I consider that a bit odd.
    I also  tried typing Java for my computer to search for and this is what I got under
    Overview:
    PID: 944
    Host: localhost
    Main class: <unknown>
    Arguments: <none>
    JVM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (20.45-b01-451, mixed mode)

    I hope something is helpful within all of this info!

  • Can i play my itunes library which is on my mac on another device, windows pc?

    Can i play my itunes library, which is stored om my macbook pro, on another device, asus notebook?

    I guess I misunderstood you then. If you downloaded the music to the iPad, you do not need an internet connection to play the songs. You use the Music App to play your songs.
    I don't know much about iTunes Match and if that is what you are relying on, you do have to download the songs from the internet/Apple's servers first.
    You can simply sync the music from the PC using iTunes, assuming that the music is in your iTunes library. This explains how to sync.

    If you are running iTunes 11 on the PC - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu.

  • Can i play music directly from time capsule?

    can I play music accessed from time capsule so that I don't have to use up room on my computer?

    If you want to move your itunes library to the TC we recommend you don't.. the TC is designed as a backup target for Time Machine.. it might appear vaguely like a NAS but it has zero ability to backup files.. and fails with surprising frequency. and is slow.. and what happens when you corrupt your itunes library.
    If you just want to put individual files and play from there.. well neither is it a media player. Basically TC fails at anything and everything except being a TM backup target.

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • Can i play music and use mirroring function at same time from ipad2 to apple tv

    can i play music and use mirroring function at same time from ipad2 to apple tv

    Yes, any audio during the "mirroring" funtion will forward to the appletv. This includes all system audio, games, apps, ect. If you slide the mute botton the side of your ipad to mute then you can block app audio and just get Music audio or Pandora if you are using pandora.

  • Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?

    Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?
    Chris

    Yes, AUX in jack.  Radio shack may be required to make sure your connectors are compatible.  For example, you may need a standard RCA splitter to mini-RCA.  The mini-RCA (3.5mm) is for the airport express while the dual (red-black) for your AUX in.  Hard to say without seeing the connectors.
    Itunes on Mac sends music to airport express (you select it in iTunes), the airport express sends the music out via the mini-RCA, your CD player auxillary input converts the RCA signal to sound.
