Can't play some songs on ipad

I synched my new ipad and all of the songs appear in the list but some of them won't play.  Appears to be ones I purchased versus downloaded from cd's.  Also, on my previous ipad (it was defective so they replaced it) i had an "ipod"
icon but not on this one, just a "music" icon.  I liked the "ipod" icon because it looked and functioned just like my ipod.  Help!

I have similar problem with my iPad2. Some songs just won't play even they apper on the list. Same songs play fine with my iPod touch.

  • Iphone 4 iOS 7.1.1 can't play some songs

    All of a sudden I can't play some songs on my Iphone 4.  I have iOS 7.1.1.  Some of the songs are grayed out and have the download progress square within the circle icon next to them.  Tried syncing with ITunes on my pc but get an error "!" next to the same songs.  ITunes defines this icon to mean that the song could not be found as it may have been deleted or moved.  Anyone have any ideas?

    durrrrr. nevermind. re-installed itunes and it looks good for now.

  • Can't Play Some Songs in Sildeshow Software

    I have a question about the accessibility of some of the music I have purchased from iTunes. I recently purchased a photo slide show building program that allows the creation of shows accompanied by music. The issue I’m having is that only some of my music files are recognized by the program. When I open up folders containing the music files, some are not showing up in the software’s music application. The missing files are visible in windows explorer and play normally in iTunes. They are for some reason not recognized by the software. My understanding is that all iTunes music files are the same format so I don’t see why some songs are useable and some are not. One thing I noticed is the songs that aren’t showing up say (protected) after the file type. I’m not sure what this means, but maybe it has something to do with the problem. Any ideas as to why this may be happening would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    If you move, edit, delete or otherwise change a music file listed in the iTunes Library with a program or tool other than iTunes, you may end up with a "!" in front of the song name or a message like “the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" It is important to note that iTunes does not keep track of music file changes made outside of iTunes.

    Run iTunes.
    1) While iTunes is running, double click FindDeadTracks.js to run the script.
    It will give you a list of all the exclamation marked tracks.
    2) While iTunes is running, double click RemoveDeadTracks.js to run the script.
    It will remove all the exclamation marked tracks.

  • I can't play some songs I recently downloaded because when I try to I get the message that I need to authorise my computer but when I try to do this it says I've already authorised this computer.

    I downloaded 4 songs at the same time. The first and the last songs in the list play fine. If I try to play the second or third I get the message that I need to authorise this computer. I enter my id and password and it will say I've already authorised 2 out of my 5 computers (I don't know what other one I've authorised) then it will just start playing the last song out of those four.

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password.  HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

    I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password.  How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

    In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
    I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
    In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back?

    I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

    Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

    If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
    Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.

  • How can I play the songs in iTunes on my Android phone?

    I am a new comer to iTunes.  I just purchased a couple of songs from iTunes and it plays correctly on my iMac and iPad.  I have following questions and seeking the answers.
    1.  Are the songs sited on iTunes server and streaming when I play the song?  It requires internet connection to play the songs.  Can I download the songs onto my device to avoid internet connection.
    2.  Can I play the songs on my Android phone?
    3.  I have some songs on my iMac and appears in the iTunes.  How can I sync with my iPad (currently not appear in the iTunes of my iPad)?
    Thanks!

    i guess the existance of an app means that itunes for the iphone cannot alphabatize itself.  that seems a little odd, given the new updates.  do you use this app?  i've gotten used to the functionality of the standard music app, and am curious how this one compares in terms of usage.
    thank you for the link wjosten.

    iCloud Backup is for your iPad, not for your computer.
    Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
    Here is the procedure for your reference.
    On a computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    "Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
    Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past.

  • How can I play album songs in correct sequence?

    How can I play album songs in their correct sequence -- without having to create a playlist for each album? I like to play songs from my primary "Music" Library, sorting to albums or songs via it.
    I've imported songs from albums that for some reason do not play in proper sequence: I'll sort the Library by "Album" but, even though the tracks are correctly sequenced in the "Get Info" box (Track Number "x" of "x"), they always play in some other order.
    I have tried all the sorting choices under "Album" but to no avail. Any ideas?
    I know I can rearrange the songs by click-and-drag -- IF I create a playlist and then re-order them. Really??
    I hate to say it (as a decades-long Mac addict) but iTunes is becoming less and less a worthy organizing tool/database and more and more just a sales tool/gimmick.

    My problem might be solved. For anyone similarly troubled, I found this in the iTunes Windows forum from a member named Turingtest2:
    See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic Tracks out of sequence.

  • Just downloaded an album, will let me play some songs, but others are asking for me to authorize my computer. When I enter Use ID and password, comes back and says computer is already authorized. Why will it let me play some songs and not others?

    Has anyone downloaded an album from iTunes Store, once downloaded, will let you play some songs, but others is asking you to authorize your computer. When I go through those steps, it tells me that the computer is already authorized, but still will not let me play certain songs??

    If just some of the tracks on the album are giving you that message, that suggests that those tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Can't get some songs off my ipod!!

    For some reason I can't get some songs off my old ipod. recently I lost all my songs on my new ipod so I went to my old ipod followed the steps of extracting files from ipod to itunes and come to find out that some songs didn't go into itunes. The files I want were downloaded using imesh and they are mp3 format. For some reason when I go into my computer and open my ipod's music folder the songs are not there yet they have to be because I can see and play them on itunes when I connect the old ipod.But I can see one of the files in a folder except that one file is really the entire album. It's about 13 songs and I can't seem to seperate them. So is there anyway to directly transfer all files from the ipod to itunes instead of doing the copy folder steps as described in apple's "transferring music guide"? Also I tried consilidating library and that didn't work either.

    There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • My ipod touch can´t play some music any more

    my ipod touch can´t play some music any more. iTunes don´t transfer it to my ipod touch but the capacity is taken. Can someone help me please?

    My problem is a bit different, but I suspect not really unrelated. With very few exceptions, my entire music library on my iPod Touch is mixed up since updating to iOS 5. Albums display with incorrect album artwork, and contents of the albums is a jumbled mix of unrelated songs (could be any song from my library). And they won't play. The library is fine on my computer.
    I removed all of the music from the iPod, then re-synched it with no improvement.
    I also removed all apps other than those that come with the iOS, thinking it may be an incompatibility. Also no improvement.
    My next attempt was going to be restoring to original settings, but it sounds like folks have tried that with no luck.
    I hope Apple is reading these posts and looks into what sounds like a myriad of issues with the new iOS!

  • I can´t play the songs i got on my iPod (60gig) in any itunes program?

    Hey
    I whould like some help with my iPod.
    It is as the topic says, i can´t play the songs i got on my iPod at my computer(from the iPod).
    The songs are just grey and i cant press them or anything.
    There is also a small black lock icon at the bottom of my iTunes next to the display the shows how much memory all my songs take up.
    This was working be4 i resetted my iPod to fill it with more music and hopefully to get rid of some annying freezes that occured aswell.
    Anyone got a answer to why I can´t play my songs?

    "The songs are just grey and i cant press them or anything. There is also a small black lock icon at the bottom of my iTunes"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to manual in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing content manually on iPod
    One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
