Cannot play downloaded songs

I have songs downloaded to my iPad. for some reason these songs will not play. The songs were downloaded from iTunes. I have removed and re-added these tunes and the results are the same. Please advise...

If you selected the songs in iTunes and tried to copy/paste that will not work.
Drag the songs from the iTunes window to the player.

    I purchased a single song from BBW and it says it can't play it.  It's an MP3 file.

  • Cannot play/download songs from iCloud to iTunes

    I just purchased a new MacBook. When I sign into iTunes with my apple id, all of my songs appear, however I am not able to play them or download them from iCloud. The iCloud icons and all text are all light gray, as opposed to their usual bold gray color.
    Thanks.

    in case anyone else has this problem I wanted to update with the solution. For clarity, this problem had nothing to do with iTunes Match. I just was unable to play or download any music. All I did was quit iTunes and Restart my computer and then all of my music was there and all is working fine.

    Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

  • HT1349 I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot play the songs in order, they skip around randomly. The shuffle feature is off. All I really want to do is play an album from start to finish.

    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot play the songs in order. It will skip around or just stop playing the song currently playing when it is finished. I just want to play an album from start to finish. The shuffle feature is turned off.

    It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

  • HT1933 I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found.  I have used the gift card previously with no issue.  How do I fix

    I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found.  I have used the gift card previously with no issue.  How do I fix it?

    Have you moved or deleted those tracks on your computer (the gift card has got nothing to do with it) ?
    You might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries) - if those songs appear there then delete the entries from your iTunes library (where you are clicking on them to play them and gettinf the 'original file' error), and they should then get a cloud symbol against them for re-downloading.
    If they don't appear in that link then have you got them on, for example, an external drive ?

    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.

  • IPod Mini won't play downloaded songs/Do Not Disconnect

    Recently, my ipod mini has been having some problems. If I leave my ipod mini idle for 2 days and the apple symbol appears when I turn it on, all the songs that ive downloaded from itunes wont play. When i attempt to play a downloaded song,it will boot me back to the main menu of the ipod mini. To fix this problem, i have to plug my ipod mini into the computer and then it will play downloaded songs again-until i leave it idle for 2 days. Also, when i plug my ipod mini into my computer, the do not disconnect screen on my ipod wont go away even after it says that the itunes update is complete on itunes. I end up having to disconnect the ipod when im not suppossed to. I have a feeling that these 2 problems are linked, and its becoming really annoying to have to plug my ipod mini into the computer in order to play downloaded songs because i dont listen to my ipod mini every day. If anyone can help me with this problem i would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks- VRico

    ok, this is a popular problem, i think the solution is before you download each song, listen to the full thing first, i think thats the solution! give it a try.

  • TS1277 cannot play most songs in Libary even though purchase from Itunes store,  songs have astrick in front, how do I fix this problems

    Hi,
    Please help, having problem with Library, had compter crash, got fixed but now cannot play most songs as it has been marked as cannot find file and has astrick in front, most songs were puchased from Itunes, cannot seem to get support from Apple, does anyone have fix, as there is 300 songs not playable, please help,

    The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • Cannot play itunes (songs) from MP3.  Songs downloaded, but are missing.

    I downloaded several songs from itunes and to loaded them onto my player (RCA Lyra), but the songs are missing in the player. To transfer the songs, I copied and pasted them onto the player >computer>then highlighted the songs and copied and pasted them to the MP3 player; when I tried to play them, they were missing. What is wrong? How can I download and play the songs I have purchased?
    Thank you.

    If you selected the songs in iTunes and tried to copy/paste that will not work.
    Drag the songs from the iTunes window to the player.

  • Can't play downloaded songs outside of iTunes

    Hi. This could well be very novice question, but i could really use some help.
    I have purchased an album for my kids through iTunes Store. I have activated the songs, and copied them to my iPod, and all works well. However, my wife tried to copy them to an mp3 player (not an iPod) and they don't work. I have tried looking for the songs on her mp3 Player with Windows Media Player, and they don't appear there either. If i plug the player into the computer, navigate the songs foler in Windows Explorer, then double click a song, Windows Media Player (the Default player on her computer) appears, but claims the song is not a compatible format.
    Can downloaded songs be played outside an iPod or iTunes? I note the file extension is m4p, which is not something i have come across before
      Windows Vista  

    No you cannot play them outside iTunes or an iPod. Due to agreements with the content owners, Apple is required to provide a Digital Rights Management mechanism on their music and videos in order to sell them.

  • Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

    ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
    1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
    2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
    3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
    Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

    Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
    That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
    There are two things to try before you upgrade:

  • ITunes Asking for Authorization to Play Downloaded Song

    I am having a problem I've never had before.  iTunes won't play a song I downloaded 11.0.4 won't play a song I downloaded from the iTunes Store as part of an album.  It asks to authorize the computer to play the song.  When I enter my name and password, it says my computer is already authorized.  But then it wil not play the song!  I've tried the troubleshooting tips on the webpage (ie deleting my SC folder, etc) to no avail.  The "Info" section on the song, oddly, doesn't indicate that the song was downloaded from the iTunes store (the rest of the songs on the album list me as the downloader).  But I also can't re-download the song, because the store thinks I've already downloaded it.  The store offers me the opportunity to play the song, but then the same authorization problem happens. 
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Delete it and then redownload it.
