Can't play songs that have a "old" account name?

i have a number of songs that have different account names.... some have my user name and then some have my user name plus "@.mac.com" at the end of the name... the ones without the @mac.com will not play? any ideas?

I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread. It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
Meanwhile, this may help:

    You can restore them from your backup - if you havn't got a backup then you'll need to re-purchase them. Media (music, films, tv shows) can only be downloaded from iTunes once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backup(s) of your purchased (and any other important) content.

  • New hard drive; can't play songs purchased while under old (changed) login!

    My hard drive died and had to be replaced. Fortunately, I had backed up my library, but after importing my library again, I am unable to play any songs purchased under an old email/password. We changed internet providers and then I switched from PC to Mac, so I have changed my email/password twice and am now on my third login for this account. When I go into INFO I can see that the songs I am having problems with are linked to the old logins still. When I am asked to login to authorize these songs, of course, the account no longer exists, because it's the same account! I love music of all kinds, so we are talking about a lot of songs here - there has to be an answer to this problem. I'm sure I'm not the only person who's had to deal with this issue. Any help?

    Too many changes - hard drive failures, email address changes, ISP changes and OS changes - unable to solve this issue.

  • How can I access songs that have been uploaded to my iCloud with itunes Match on a different (work) PC?

    I have logged in with Itunes Match on my work PC, but after 'gathering information about itunes' Itunes Match says the maximum songs that can be uploaded that were not purchased in itunes is 25000 and iMatch stops. All I want to do is have access and the ability to download songs that iMatch has already uploaded to iCloud from my home PC.
    Please Help

    Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.

  • Sync with Shuffle/can't play songs that are on shuffle

    I can no longer play the songs that are on my shuffle when I sync with itunes. Before the update I could select a song and play it before I would remove it.
    I can select the song but the play button remains gray. This is no good because I would regularly add and remove songs. I like to give a quick listen before I remove the song. Can't do that now.
    Help?
    thanks in advance

    Well I restarted my computer and sync'd my shuffle again for the 3rd time and now it likes it again. All songs play like before now. Still dont know why it did this though?

  • Can't play itunes music downloaded from old account

    I  have a bunch of iTunes music downloads I purchased on an old account using an old email many years ago. I no longer have the password and have looked but have not found a way to close out the old account and authorize the music downloads to my current account.
    When I tried to retrieve info on the old account it asked me for my birthday. I chose the correct date but the response was the date was INCORRECT!!
    Beyond frustrating!!

  • I can't play songs that I've bought

    I bought two songs and they stopped downloading in mid stream. I try to resume downloading and I'm told that they won't resume due to a system error # 8248. I have reported them to itunes, I have repaired my problem but, I need to know if I should try to purchase them again, or if I should wait for someone from itunes to contact me. HELP

    No, I haven't figured it out.  And no one from Apple has contacted me to help.  Very frustrating.  Sure makes me want to not buy music on iTunes and just buy CD's.
    Do you have a 3GS too?  Maybe it's something with that phone??

  • Ipod playing songs that have video

    Hi Chris,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    So you bought an album. Is it a CD or did you buy it from the iTunes Music Store?
    If it's a CD you need to load it in to iTunes first before you can sync it to your nano.
    If you bought it from iTMS then it's already in iTunes?
    If you can fill in your profile to list your operating system as well it will help us give you better advice.
    Post back and we'll take it from there.

    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.

    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,

    You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

  • Can't play music that I have bought

    I dont have the same username on my mac in OS X. Which leads to problem to deauthorize my itunes account. I can’t play music that I buy, and free movies doesn’t work either. I know this is the problem, cause I have tried to reformat using my old account name in OS X, which led to no problems in iTunes. I don’t want to use my old account name (OS X).

    My old username in OS X----->karasjok
    My present username in OS X----->Stian
    iTunes account is not the same username as in OS X, I am aware of that. Problem is that I can’t play music bought from iTunes, neither can I deauthorize my iTunes account.
    But if I reformat my OS X, use my old username, all of my music bought from iTunes plays well.
