Can't play purchased music videos on my IPad

I've purchased a number of American Idol music videos via ITunes. However they will not show up nor play on my IPad. I just switched over to ICloud and still can't access or play my music videos. They play fine on my PC monitor. Any suggestions? I work in hospice and would like to share some of the music videos with my patients.

I do too. I get this image.

Can't play youtube music videos on facebook

hi everyone, i was wondering, am i the only person who can't play music-videos from youtube - on facebook? i don't have this problem on chrome [which belongs to google, and so is youtube..]
it started in the last few days, or weeks, before i updated my firefox. i can't play youtube music-videos posted on facebook from facebook, but i can play them only from youtube.com.
when i try to play a video that has music in it, i get this message:
"this video contains content from RECORDLABEL. it is restricted from playback on certain sites. watch on youtube"
i also sometimes get a message that a certain video can't be played from playlists, but i can watch the video from its page [i don't know if it's related..].
my friends who use chrome can play music-videos on facebook, and i tried for myself and it plays the videos and doesn't show any restrictions messages.
i didn't try on explorer [bleh] or opera.
so my question again is, do you have the same problem too?
i can play this video on facebook: [it's funny as hell, watch it!]

Can not play the music videos on i tunes

i try to play my music videos on i tunes, i have sound but no picture, i can play tv shows , movies but no music videos which i purchase from i tunes store. any idea why this is happening?

is your ipod set to auto sync? if it is, you cant listen to those songs on your computer. if you want to listen to songs that are on your ipod on your computer, set it to manually sync or whatever. that should work.

How can I play multiple music videos continuously on Apple TV?

Regular music plays continuously, one song to another, etc. I can't get my music videos to do the same. One plays, and after it's over, ATV won't go to the next video. I can't figure it out. Does anyone out there know how to do it?

What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
I have submitted feedback.

Can you play a music video and still view itunes store?

I'd like to listen to a song I bought as a music video, but still view the itunes store. When i play the song it takes up the entire itunes window, is there any way to avoid this? I thought there was a way for it just to play in the bottom left corner.
Thanks!

Set the playback preference for music videos, etc. to play in a separate windows (iTunes preferences -> Playback pane). Then, as long as you don't need to preview an item in the iTunes Store, you will be able to play the video while browsing/searching the Store. At least in iTunes 8 (don't remember about iTunes 7), the window you can show at the lower-left in iTunes just shows the album cover or "poster" frame of whatever's playing; it's not a playback window.
Regards.

Can't play Purchased Music getting error 42404

Have the newest iTunes and Quicktime. When Authorizing it gets error 42404 "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes -42404."
I have uninstalled Quicktime and iTunes but same problem. I have deleted the registry. Still same problem.

i am ALSO having the same problem!! i got my hard drive replaced and had no idea that i was supposed to "deauthorize" before replacing a harddrive. apple definitely does NOT make that clear to its users until they have these kinds of problems! anyways, i had all my music copied onto cds and tehn put back onto my new hard drive, and now my computer wont play my purchased music only. my information says that there are zero computers authorized to play my music. i am also confused as to which email account i used to purchase this music- when i click on a purchased song to play it, it asks me for an email and password, so i have been trying both of my two accounts: when i use my school email account it says :"you have successfully authorized 2 out of ur 5 possible computers" but the songs still wont play. when i try my hotmail account it says "you have authorized all 5 possible accounts". ive tried deleting the scinfo file and i really have no idea what to do either, i just want to play my purchased music i hope someone can help all of us

Trouble with account authorization-can't play purchased music

So my iBook g4 just got back from "depot" where they installed a new logic board. They kept the hard drive. Evidently, however, they took the liberty of installing all of the updates, including iTunes 8. Now, I cannot play my purchased music.
When I click on the song, a window box appears telling me that I need to authorize my computer. I enter my apple ID and password, then get a message saying that I have now authorized 1 out 5 computers. But when I click back on the song...I get the same window box asking for my account and password.
Can someone help? Thanks.

First, make absolutely sure you're authorizing for the same account used to purchase these items. I suggest double checking one of your purchased files... select it, go to your File menu and choose Get Info. On the Summary tab, in the middle section, right-hand column, it will show you the Account Name (Apple ID) of the account used to purchase the item.
Beyond that, you might try deauthorizing the computer (repeatedly) until it says you're not authorized. (Store menu > Deauthorize Computer). Then, go back and go to Store > Authorize Computer, enter the info, and see if you can play a purchased item.
If it still isn't working, go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
First, deauthorize your computer from iTunes. Then, follow the steps in this document regarding deleting the SC Info folder. Then, authorize your computer again and see if you can play your purchases.
Hope this is helpful

Authorized computer but can't play purchased music

When I select play for music purchased from iTMS I get a message that says 'this computer is not authorized to play this song. Would you like to authorize it?' and prompts me for my password. After putting in my password I get the message "machine authorization was successful' and then a new message pops up 'we could not complete your music store request. An unknown error occurred (208). I still can't play my purchased music. Has anyone encountered this - any suggestions?

Dboy - you the man! I went to your suggested link and took the advice of Barbara Hall of deleting the SC Info file and it worked like a charm. I also noted that as soon as I launched iTunes the file was created again. So I wonder if the problem will occur again. At least I'll know what to do next time.
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.
Regards!

Can't play MP 4 video on my ipad

I t was told I needed to record in mp4 in order to view the video on my iPad but after downloading into my ipad2 it does nor recognize the video. How dan I play mp4 video on my iPad2?

Is your video in iTunes? In iTunes, Advanced>Create iPad Version

IPad 2 playing of all music videos in the folder is not possible. You can play a music video (all purchased from iTunes) but once is finished you have to manually select another one. This defeats the whole concept of having a music video library

How could we play all music videos within the music folder in the iPad2 ? In other words, select all, choose random, and click play and all music videos will automatically play upon completion of the one been viewed without the user having to deselect another video manually (annoying interrupt).
Currently you have to choose each music video and upon completion choose the next one manually. That defeats the whole concept of a music video library.
This does not happen on previous iPad or MacBook Pro iTunes!!!!!
Very annoying.
Thanks,

Hello, I bought a song on iTunes that has a music video to it, but I don't want the song to play the music video. How can I make it so the music video isn't played?

Hello, iBillyxD.
Thank you for the question. The best way to avoid this behavior would be to delete the music video from your library. You can always download it again free by accessing your previous purchases. To delete and item in your iTunes library, select the item and hit delete on your keyboard.

Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
Thanks
Jay

+If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?

Can't download purchased music to video iPod

I can't download purchased music and videos to my new 30GB video iPod.
When I try to copy videos or purchased I get an error "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" and iTunes quits after I close the dialog.
I ran the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and Restored my iPod. I can download mp3s and a video I created in QT Pro but not purchased music or videos.
I uninstalled all previous iPodSetup installations, iTunes, QuickTime, rebooted and deleted the iTunes prefs file at:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info\SC Info.sidb
I reinstalled iPod Updater 2006-01-10 and iTunes 6.0.2 and rebooted.
The problem remains.
Generic Windows XP Pro 3GHz P4, 1GB RAM

The problem is on my home computer. I am able to download the same purchased music from my work computer. I've not tried downloading it from my home computer while logged in as a different user. I'll try that tonight. The error message can be viewed at http://knouse.org/images/ituneserror.jpg
