Cannot play any music bought from iTunes

I can no longer play any of the music I bought from iTunes, although anything else is fine.  I get this message --
The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.
I have changed the permissions on every single music file permissions to everybody read and write, so what is the problem?
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I'd try de-authorizing and re-authorizing you computer.

  • HT3209 Cannot play 1080p HD videos from iTunes. Anyone got any ideas?

    I have a AMD 6 core @ 2.8 GHz, 16 GB of RAM and a Geforce GT 640 with HDCP support, but still cannot play 1080p HD videos from iTunes. Anyone got any ideas?
    According to the hardware requirements, my system well exceeds them, but no joy!

    UPDATE:  I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes.  For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem.  Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
    That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

    To search your music library on your iPad, use the music icon.  The I tunes button takes you to the store where you can buy more music or videos.     To play your won music etc you do not need to be connected to apple, the music is on your pad.
    If you want to get new stuff from iTunes, and load it onto your pad, you need an account.  Your account is your apple id.

    It will only be where you put it.
    If for some reason you failed to transfer it to your computer from your iphone before updating, then it is gone, unless you live in one of the countries that allows redownloads:

  • After software update, I can see the songs on iPod nano in iTunes, but I cannot play/move the songs from iTunes.

    After software update, I can see the songs on iPod nano in iTunes, but I cannot play/move the songs from iTunes.

    Is the "software update" for iTunes 12?  Or something you did to the iPod?

  • Music bought from iTunes a few years ago won't play on iPhone 4s

    I've found that certain tracks that I bought from iTunes a few years back, all protected MPEG-4 audio files, won't play on my iPhone 4s. They play fine in iTunes on my computer, but when the track comes up on my iPhone it will simply run through the time of the song but no music will play. In some cases, I've had two versions of a song by the same name and it played the wrong version of the song with the correct name and album cover.
    I've tried resetting the phone, as well as taking all the music off of it and resyncing it. Nothing seems to work. Will restoring the phone really help? This problem first arose after I updated my iPhone to 5.1.1.

    I bought an iPhone 5 and could not add music to it. Same problem: grey songs. After hours searching forums and blogs I found this solution. Works for me! Now I manually add songs using iTunes and no problem. Hope it helps.
    1. Download and install iExplorer http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
    2. Plug in device first, then open iExplorer
    3. Delete the iPhone\Media\iTunes_Control folder (you may want to copy this, just in case)
    4. Restart the iPhone / iPad
    5. Start iTunes. Not restore iPhone from back up, select New iPhone (don't worry, you will not lost apps or data on your iPhone doing this)
    6. Add music manually with iTunes

  • Sharing music bought from iTunes with PS3

    Hi people im trying to share music ive bought from itunes with my PS3 but it doesn't recognise the mp4a tag so is there a way i can convert the tag to id3 without having to convert all my music files to mp3?

    How can I download tracks I bought for my
    gandaughter from my iTunes library onto her iPod
    without erasing all her other music. She has her own
    folder on my iMac G5. Can I transfer music from my
    iTunes library into her iTunes library?
    Apologies if this topic has been covered elsewhere,
    but If it has I can't find it.
    Simplest (lowest hassle factor) method is to burn the tracks to CD (as mp3) and import or add them to her iTunes library.

  • Music from CDs that is on my iPod won't transfer to my iTunes library on a different computer I used to use but all music bought from iTunes will? How do I fix this?

    In the past to get music from CDs onto my iTunes library and onto my iPod was all easy and fine, as you would know if you have done such a thing before. I used to use a different laptop for all my music stuff to the desktop I have to use now as the other one is broken. It is an authorised computer on my iTunes, so my issue has got nothing to do with that. When I got this desktop (it is quite an old one, if that makes any difference), i had to download iTunes and put all my music into my library to back it up.
    However, all music that I had bought physically that is currently on my iPod (CDs) WON'T transfer into my new library on the desktop, but all music that I had bought digitally (iTunes) WILL transfer.
    This has led to about 300 missing songs in my library and means I can't transfer all of my music onto a different device (as I am trying to transfer all my music onto an iPhone 3).
    I have tried countless things. All of that "File > Devices > Transfer purchases" stuff WILL. NOT. WORK. I tried copying the music into a file on the desktop and then adding said file into the library, but it won't let me paste any music.
    If someone were to help me in transferring the music I so dearly love then I would be eternally grateful.
    Thank you

  • ITune quits when I go to play TV programs bought from ITune Store

    I just bought new iMac and was excited to be able to play TV programs that I defer watching on my screen, but iTune quits as soon I click on play. I have properly authorized the computer with iTune. The data that I am trying to play was transfered from my old iBook which did not have enough umph to platy these. Does anyone have solution to this.
    Thanks.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I figured it out.
    I was running iTune 7.1.1 with QuickTime 7.1.3
    I upgraded QuickTime to 7.1.6 and now I can actually watch the TV programs on my screen!!
    Awesome. TV programs I want on demand on MY computer.

  • "This computer is not authorized to play" any DRM items from iTunes Store

    My iTunes 9.0.3 Library has DRM songs (purchased years ago up thru the end of iTunes DRM) plus TV shows (purchased from 2006 thru two days ago).
    I just discovered none of these restricted songs or TV shows can be played because ...
    *This computer is not authorized to play "name of item". Would you like to authorize it?*
    Before I use another authorization for my Mac Pro (on which everything from 2007 on was purchased), I'd like to understand what has gone wrong.

    I searched the iTunes forum for help before opening this thread. Thanks, Jolly, for the pointer to the article -- it looked promising, but none of the points apply to my situation.
    I did fresh search of all articles, which found the one Jolly recommended. It found a lot of other articles, most/all of which did not include "This computer is not authorized" even though I put that phrase in quotation marks. Article Advanced Search appears to be broken.
