Check what file formats Vegas will accept. Almost all programs will accept MP3. The iTunes Store does not sell MP3s.
If you have iTunes Plus AAC files that you purchased from the iTunes Store, you can use iTunes to convert them to MP3 format, by resetting your Import preference to MP3 and then using the command Advanced > Make MP3 Version.

Cant put "purchased" songs on "iPOD"

Im sure its just because of this new version of iTunes I can remeber several updates where one was messed up and giving various errors. I think it was 6.2 to 6.5 and then a week later an update came out and fixed it.
I was using 7.0.2 and it was working fine. I recently purchased "korn unplugged" and "sevendust alpha" Now I can not manually move the songs to my iPOD.
I tried moving from one playlist to the other and that odly put the songs in the playlist on the iPod but the song count didnt go up and the songs didnt appear under IPOD>Music. When i click on the songs in the playlist i get an exclaimation point on the left like it cant find the file. Oddly enough the songs plays fine in iTunes, they just don't transfer to the iPod.
I deleted a song on the iPod, reset it and tested it, the song was not a newly purchased song and it went right on to the iPOD so i tried a "korn unplugged" song. Same thing happens, same results, cant transfer one of my newly downloaded songs.
Updated to 7.1.1 (which installed fine), but....same thing, old songs transfer fine new songs wouldnt transfer. My software for the iPOD is 2.3 and that is the latest version. I reloaded the software and that made no difference.
I know the 5 Rs and the hidden folder fixes, those didnt do anything.
I have never had a problem with my iPOD, but cant seem to quit having problems with iTunes and purchased music. All those filters to keep the RIAA happy are really messing stuff up, authorizing, protected aac's are annoying, they never used to be 'this annoying'
I have come to the conclusion this is another bad update for iTunes and next week there will be a fix. But if someone can persude me otherwise, im all ears.

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

This is ridiculous. Cant play purchased songs.

OK...I know that I am not the only one having this problem as it is all over the place. Why will Apple not provide any support on this?
Windows XP, purchased album from Itunes, cant play 2 songs off the album. I get the "this computer is not authorized to play...." I enter my Apple ID and password and it says "this computer is already authorized"
I have done every single step listed here :
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
And still nothing..
I can play every song on the album but 2.
This is extremely frustrating! Funny thing is...I can play the songs using other players..

I have done every single step listed here :

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store, then.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Can't create ringtones using purchased songs in itunes...

I just got an iphone and I am trying to use several purchased songs to create ringtones. When I click on the bell a box comes up that says I have to verify the Terms of Service again, and that if I click OK I will be taken to the Terms of Service. When I click on OK nothing happens and I still cannot use the songs to make ringtones. I have tried clicking OK many times with the same result. I have also gone to the store site and looked at the Terms of Service but this does not seem to solve the problem. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Just purchased an iPhone tonight, but whenever I try to create a ringtone it asks me to go accept the terms of service, then does nothing after pressing OK. I'm logged into the music store successfully, so that's not it. So I'm stuck. Help! I should add that this is happening against a Mac.

Help...I havent been able to find help topic related to this problem. i am unable to play any of my purchased songs, tv shows, music videos. I have purchased all from the iTunes store. my computer has not changed, and i have 2 computers listed as authorized computers, though I have only had 1 computer for the past 3 years and all downloads (purchases) have been on the same computer. any help is appreciated. I recently had to uninstall windows and all applications on my computer, and my backup software carbonite restored everything including all saved songs, tv shows, etc on itunes. However, I am unable to play or view anything purchased.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Jeff, Thanks for replying. Yes, I did reauthorize the computer. There are 2 computers authorized for use, though I have only one. I also deauthorized and then, reauthorized the computer and I still cannot play any purchased songs, shows, etc. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cant download purchased song

Trying to download my purchased music for my new macbook pro. For the album "AM" by the Arctic monkeys, all songs downloaded except for the first one "Do i wanna know" and i have no way with which to download it. When i go into the store, it says i have purchased the song but it still wont appear.

Hello Diddywong,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that you need to download a purchased song from the iTunes Store. To download your previous purchases, please follow the steps outlined below.
Download previous purchases on Mac or PC
Make sure your Mac or PC meets these system requirements:
iTunes 10.3 or later
You need iTunes 10.6 or later to download previously purchased movies and TV shows.
iTunes account in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available
iTunes Store
Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you'll see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
Click the Download icon next to the item you want to download.
If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
Download past purchases - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.

Re-authorizing when using purchased songs in iMovie and iDVD

Hi!
Since I upgraded to the lastest iTunes, I have to reauthorize every time I use a purchased song in an iMovie project (or iDVD). And, even as i reauthorize the song, the song is omitted from the project. I guess this is a major bug. Any news on a fix for this??
Thanks!
Thomas Engstedt

Hi Ken and welcome to Apple!
You should not have a major problem. The AVI files should (repeat should) be recognized by iMovie. If not, conversion should (I love the certainty of that word!) be easy.
An iMac will do all you ask, but I recommend not less that 1GB of RAM.
At this stage, go get your iMac, and try to import the AVI files into iMovie. If that is not successful post back!
Remember: iMovie expects to be 'fed' by digital video through a firewire connection.
Any more questions, we are here to help!

Cant use purchased items on new computer with new email address

i bought a new laptop then changed isp from aol to bt then backed up my itunes from old laptop to disc ,tried to put music from discs onto new laptop with new email address and my purchased items are on itunes but cant use them as a message appears saying that i cant play music due to computer not being autherised but when i go to autherise computer in itunes the message your computer is autherised appears ......... please help

I have almost the exact same problem. I have a bunch of music, ringtones, TV shows, movies... stuff that I purchased that I can't authorize. All of these items were purchased with the same account I'm still using now. The difference is that I've changed my email address. I don't have the original email address from when I made those purchases and I'm unable to authorize them. I can see that when I view info on one of these purchases the "Account Name: " has my old email address... not my iTunes or Apple account. So, if I'm authorizing my iTunes using my new email none of these older purchases will work.
I'm really curious how to fix this. I've got quite a few purchases from years back that I'd like access to, but I can't authorize using my new email/iTunes or my old email (the one used for the original purchases).
Take a look at the info and tell me if you see "Account Name:" on one of your purchases. And is that associated to your old email address? There has to be a way to fix this or 'transfer' older purchases, especially if it's all under the same real 'account'.

Cant get purchased songs to my MP3 player

We purchased songs on itunes we can listen to them on our computer but when we try to put them on our MP3 player all we get is an album photo but no music. How can we listen to our purchased songs on our MP3 player?

How can we listen to our purchased songs on our MP3 player?
If it's a protected song, you can't. Eighty percent of the iTunes Store music is now available in an unprotected format, and a previously protected song can be upgraded for 30 cents in the United States.
If it's not protected, open the iTunes preferences, click on General, push the import settings button, change the default encoder to MP3, right-click the songs in iTunes, and convert them to MP3. iTunes Store songs come as AAC files; only podcasts include MP3s natively.

Using purchased music in other software

I have a digital scrapbook program and I can add music. I copied a song off of a CD I own in iTunes and it played well in the program. I just purchased an album from the iTunes store and the songs show up for selection in the software but are grayed out. Is there some iTunes trick I need to learn. I am using a Macbook with iTunes 8. The soft ware program is called Memory Mixer. Help I love the music and want it to be background for my digital scrapbook. Janet

Thank you Chris. I wish I had known that before I downloaded from the iTunes store. Now I will need to go and buy the CD as it has the music I want. Live and learn is my story on the computer. Again thank you for the prompt and informative reply. Janet

Sync dates a day out, cant sync purchased songs, or purchased apps

i have a new ipod touch which i dont wish to connect to internet. i have successfully sync'd photos and music BUT, 2 of my 4 ical calendars show events one day ahead of where they should be on the ipod??? I have checked both timezones, and have correct date/time on both.
Also, i cannot seem to add music that is purchased, nor an app i purchased on the computer from i tunes.
Help?

OK, after reading lots of this forum & playing about with the ipod i found in Settings>Mail, contacts, Calendars> a setting called time zone support, and because i am in Sydney and it was set to somewhere in the US by default that was the problem. Have changed the zone to Sydney and now it all comes up on the right day.
Still dont know about the apps & music I have purchased though.....

"Computer unauthorized" to use purchased songs

A recent computer crash coincided nicely with a recent iPod crash for me. Fortunately, I had all my music backed up, so I could load my iPod back up once I had transferred all the music from data CDs onto my new hard drive, but the music I had previously purchased from iTunes cannot be put back onto my iPod, or so iTunes tries to tell me every time I sync up my iPod. Furthermore, I recently purchsaed music from iTunes and it gave me the same message when I sync'd up the iPod- iTunes is not authorized to load the files onto the iPod from this particular computer.
If knowledge of the make/model of the iPod or the computer is relevant, I can tell, but I don't reckon it is.

See if this helps: "Authorizing or deauthorizing a computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/6.0/en/687.html
