Can't Play Songs I Purchased

Hi guys,
A long time ago I purchased songs on iTunes with an old Apple ID. Then I bought a new computer, transferred the songs I purchased and I was able to play them (I don't know what I did because I already had my new apple ID at this time). I recently formatted my laptop, put my music back and when I try to listen to my songs I purchased a while ago, a window pops up asking me to identify myself. The problem is it shows my old Apple ID that does not exist anymore. I click "Forgot Password" then it takes me to the Apple website, says that this Apple ID expired and ask me to put the new one. I do, it works. But back into iTunes, I still can't play those songs cause it will ask me to authorize my computer to play them, again.
What can I do?
May thanks in advance!
Vinny.

  • HT1420 My songs that I purchased on my itunes account from my dad's computer will not play on my new computer, I have access to my entire account but can only play songs purchased using my new computer. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi Kevin,
    Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
    If not, sign on to iTunes.
    Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
    If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
    Cheers,

  • Macbook Pro will only allow AirPlay to play through iTunes, therefore I can't play songs through Safari

    Macbook Pro will only allow AirPlay to play through iTunes, therefore I can't play songs through Safari. I have tried going on to the Sound settings and selecting AirPort Express but its just jumps back to internal speakers. Its WELL ANNOYING! Any ideas?

    This is normal.
    To be able to play any audio source on your MacBook Pro, you might want to take a look at an application like Airfoil. More info below:

  • Disabled account so now I can't play the music purchased on that account

    My dad got a virus on his computer so Apple disabled his account. I bought hundreds of dollars worth of music on his account. I bought a new MacBook Pro and loaded my music onto the new computer, but when I try to play the music I bought on his account it tells me to authorize the computer using his account. I try to do that, but it says his account is disabled and I can't authorize the computer on his account. I authorized it using my account, but I still can't play the music purchased on his account from a different computer.

    Why did Apple disable the iTunes Store account? Did you ask them to do it?
    You must have asked them to do so as they would have no way of doing this automatically because your PC had a virus.
    If the account has been disabled how do you then expect to be able to log in to it?
    Purchases are made by a specific account, so it makes sense that your account will not let you play the music it did not purchase.
    Ask Apple to enable the account, as I can see no reason for it to be disabled at all. Unless you can provide a more meaningful explanation as to why and how it was disabled.

  • I can only play songs from the cloud that are checked with a dark checkmark-I have many other songs with a faint check that don't play

    Restoring from backup will result in the iPod being like it was when the backup was made. If you restore via iTunes, you have to have all the synced media in your iTunes library since those are not included in the iPod backup.

  • HT4437 can i play songs from my ipad to my airport express and Ihome speaker at the same time?

    can i play songs from the ipad to both the airport express and ihome speaker at the same time?

    Let's double-check your AX's settings...
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select your Belkin wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • I can't play my burned purchased CD's

    I have purchased over 60 songs from iTunes and I can't burn any of them. It shows them as burning and I can play it on my computer but I can't play it on any other CD playing device. I tried burning CD's with songs that weren't downloaded and it won't work. Please Help!!
      Windows XP  

    When we burned a CD it showed the progress, but then when we looked at it in windows explorer it went straight to iTunes and it showed it was playing but there was no sound.

  • Can't play songs and can't transfer songs to iPod - exclamation points

    I used to have a home built pc with windows xp and I recently got an iMac. I have an iPod nano and a bigger library than it can hold. I also have 3GB worth of songs I put onto iTunes a long time ago from Windows Media Player, but now they're listed as iTunes files and thats the icon they have on my mac.
    Here's the problem.
    Stupid me when setting up my Mac I put my other computer in the basement (its so slow, that was the problem, completely unfixable and just so annoying to use) and didn't transfer songs when setting the Mac up initially. So I read the help file and it says to import my library by burning songs to disk with my old computer--but it doesn't have a burner, so I couldn't do that. It doesn't have an internet connection either. I might be able to rig up some slow connection but I'd rather not if I don't have to.
    So I read the file that says you can use your iPod nano as a hard disk to transport everything... I did and I transferred the folders and everything. I plugged it into my mac, transferred my iTunes folder and all the songs showed up...
    but with a ! next to them. When I try to click play, iTunes says it cannot find the file, and when I try to locate it, I cannot find it anywhere. When I try to transfer a song to my iPod, the iPod's name does not light up, it doesn't give me the plus and when I let up the mouse button, nothing happens.
    Please don't tell me I lost hundreds of dollars of songs!
    Not all of my songs are purchased from the iTunes store, but MOST of them are, and they won't work. And they've been working with my PC up to this point. is this a problem with iTunes, my iPod, or my computer?
    And what can I do?

    Confused:
    Are you talking about songs purchased from the iTMS or songs you've imported from CDs?
    If you are having a problem with iTunes Music Store purchases, you may need to deauthorize your computer and then reauthorize it (when connected to the Internet).

  • Transferred songs and now can't play songs

    I just transferred some purchased songs from my computer onto my son's computer using my iPod. His computer and mine are both authorized to play the songs. I can play the songs on his computer in iTunes, but can't play anything (including songs I imported from CDs) on my computer! When I click on a song to play it, it lists at the top of iTunes, but won't play!
    Any ideas?

    Just realized that something was wrong the sound on my system, not iTunes!

  • ITunes won't let me play songs I purchased

    Hello,
    I am trying to play music in my iTunes that I had purchased via my AOL account, and iTunes will not let me play them. The screen comes up to sign in with my member ID and it will not let me access the song. Prior to today, I never had this problem as I got rid of AOL and now have a new Apple Id. Does anyone know why itunes is not letting me play prior songs that I purchased from another account?
    Thank you

    I'm having the same problem. I had an earthlink account ages ago, and made my first purchases with this account. Now I can't play any of the music I purchased with that old account - according to my last iPod update, that's 86 songs, and I really don't want to type in my new authorization info 86 times.
    My earthlink account has been dead for years. This issue just showed up. I think it may be related to the iTunes 7.x upgrade.
    Can someone please tell us how to tell iTunes to authorize all purchases made with an old account? Requiring us to re-authorize one song at a time is amateur. I expect more from Apple.

  • I can't play song in library ,they said can't find the original file,help me pls bec  over one thousand song can't play

    I can't play the song in my library bec they can't find the original file which i can play before may be I try to import mp 3 which couple song from mp3 can play but the song that come from original cd or purchase from itune store can't play

    iTunes doesn't import it INTO the Library, it keeps it in it's original place and just adds the song into it, try and find them again and re-add them into your library.

  • HT204406 Can't play songs on iCloud

    Since upgrading my iTunes, I can't play my songs from iCloud and of course it is nearly impossible to get support from Apple.

    I'm having the same problem but I'm not using Match. Windows 7, iTunes 11.1.1.11.  I verified that my iTunes was authorized, the songs are just greyed out and I can't do anything with them except get info which tells me that I purchased them.

  • Can't play my non purchased MP3s

    I can not play or burn my imported MP3s in iTunes. Purchased titles do work though. Using latest versions of iTunes.
    When I try to burn I get the message that the MP3s are not activated for this computer. But my computer is activated for playing purchased songs (and purchased songs do work).
    How do I get my non-purchased, old, self generated MP3s activated again???

    When we burned a CD it showed the progress, but then when we looked at it in windows explorer it went straight to iTunes and it showed it was playing but there was no sound.
