Cannot play purchased music or shows, have tryed the 5 r's, apple suggesti.

okay so i bought the new ipod video 30 gig, like a few days ago. i just bought two episodes of Lost from season 2, the first two episodes of the season. they play fine on my computer on itunes, they wont play on my ipod. this is what happens: i click on the episode, it pauses for 3 seconds and than a blue/purple screen comes up for like 6 seconds and than it goes back tothe menu with the two episodes.
i also bought the new CD from Anti-Flag today as well from itunes, they play fine on itunes but on my ipod it skips from song to next song without playing it but when i plug it in my computer it says it played X number of times.
plz help me.

Sorry, can't help. But the same thing's happening to me, too. I only have two computers authorized. I've restored my iPod 2x to factory defaults and deleted and reinstalled Quicktime/iTunes too many times to count.
Apple tech support hasn't exactly been helpful; try nada help. I've asked them to check on the account and they say everything OK. My iPod plays non-protected music fine, it's just the Music Store stuff it skips.

    I have an AT&T contracted iphone 5. Cannot send mms to anyone but other iPhone users. If you search the Internet, you'll see that the problem is everywhere...both the carriers and Apple are actling like the problem belongs to the other, or feigning any knowledge (which is kind of funny since the no MMS thing was in an ios6 beta that was released awhile ago, so I KNOW apple knows about it). No, I'm not running a beta (obviously, I just got my iphone 5).  Awesome. Have a great camera on this thing, but cannot send OR receive MMS from anyone other than other iphone users. Gotta love it.

  • ITunes 7.5 won't let me play purchased music/TV shows

    I am running Leopard 10.5.1. When I try to play purchased music or television shows the window for Authorizing in to iTunes pops up. So I put my password in, but another window pops up that says "There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required directory 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. So I try to authorize and deauthorize but there are errors.
    I tried to go to my account and deauthorize all of my accounts, but there is nothing there to let me do that.
    If someone can please help me with this I can stop pulling my hair out! Thanks

    I have have the same issue playing purchased music, i tried de authorizing my my account, but it said invalid username and password, which im sure is false. I ran a permissions repair and here are the results, but i didn't think anything in here would be relevant:

  • Error Message (-208) -- Cannot play purchased music

    After upgrading to itunes 6.0 I can no longer play my purchased music. The itunes store is telling me I am not authorized to play the song files, so I log into my account and it says authorization successful. After I click ok I receive the error message:
    "We could not complete you Music Store request. An unknown error occurred (-208)."
    I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling itunes, and have even tried downgrading to itunes 5.0. Itunes 5.0 wouldn't play the songs because it said I needed itunes 6.0 in order to play my music, and that I would have to upgrade.
    I have also tried deauthorizing my computer and then playing the song again but I still receive the same error message.

    Cross-posted from another thread.. This *WORKS*:
    After having checked my other computer for what files had been altered or created this last day (during thich i had successfully authorized it for playback in preview and for purchased music) i found the file "SC Info.sidb" under "X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info". This appears to hold your authorization keys or some other magic stuff. By deleting this files parent folder, iTunes was forced into asking me to authorize this computer again for playback, with the difference this time that there were some other options on the authorization dialog, just like there should be when for the first time authorizing a computer to play protected iTunes content. When I then entered my information as always and was expecting to see the same -208 error, i was instead greeted with sweet opera that I had been longing to listen to.
    A minute or so later, I found this article on the net:
    http://nslog.com/archives/2003/05/02/authorizingitunes_scinfo.php
    It describes the same problem, but for users of macs, but the same principle applies to windows machines. The only thing fifferent is the paths to the key database. "I:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info"
    Try the same procedure and hopefully your iTunes copy should work again. Just remember to make sure all iTunes related processes are shut down first before trying this. It might not matter, but that is what I did.

  • Cannot Play Purchased Music

    My IPOD was just serviced (headphone jack replacement) and cleaning; I now can play no purchased music on the IPOD; I can play it while the IPOD is plugged into the computer, but not otherwise; I have checked and only my two computers are authorized to play the purchased music.

    You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
    The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner

  • Unable to play purchased music after successfully authorize computer

    Cannot play purchased music:

    I've followed the same steps with the same results.
    Even check for the number of authorized computer : only one.
    Tried to remove authorization and give it again : no change.

    This was my first purchase on iTunes Store and it's a very bad experience. Unable to listen to music I've bought !

    I have just purchased my first iPod touch and I cannot transfer my music from my laptop. The sync button does not appear to work. What have I done wrong? I am a grandma trying to keep up with technology please help.

    Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

  • My ipod is not showing up in the left hand column on itunes. I have tried the trouble shooting methods but nothing is working. My ipod nano also will not play.

    My ipod nano is not showing up in the left hand column of itunes. It says connected on the ipod and I can find it in my computer but its not there on itunes. I need it as I want to restore it to factory settings. I have tried the troubleshooting methods that are on the Apple website but no luck.
    Also my ipod is not playing. I found a way to upload all my music to my new computer. I followed a guide given to me on wiki and it worked. However, since then I cannot get the ipod to play. The menu is there, it turns on, all the playlists are visable but when I press play it does nothing or flicks briefly on to the page to play but then flicks back to the list again. I have tried all the troubleshooting on the Apple website but again nothing. I wanted to restore it to factory settings but to do this you have to be able to access the ipod in the left column on itunes which obviously I can't do. That was happening before the ipod stopped working. The two issues are separate.
    Thanks and hope you can help me.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?

    I am confused. Do you mean you found the music, not the tones, or you can't find either?
    If the former, then this is normal. You can't redownload tones from the Cloud.

    I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

  • HT5517 My AppleTv only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes.  I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's.  How do I play this?  Thanks

    My AppleTV only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes.  I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's that I am pulling my hair out to figure out how to play them.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  Thanks

    Your music library needs to be in iTunes on a Mac or PC. In iTunes enable Home Sharing and you should see your music library and playlists on the Apple TV. Both the computer and ATV have to be on the same WiFi network.
    See the following page on Home Sharing.

    Any ideas?

    in remote app click on the
    lower left corner on the text
    top of the context menu click devices
    choose the appletv rather then your shared lib in the list
    if you are trying to view a movie that is located on your ipad on your tv using the appletv then
    you should use airplay mirror not the remote app
