CD albums in iTunes (12.1.2.27) won't load to iPad - gets file type not supported message
I just updated to iTunes 12.1.2.27 and synced to my iPad, but all of my CD albums that are in iTunes on a mac-mini (Yosemite 10.10.3) won't sync now. A sample message is:
"song title" was not copied because the file type is not supported by the iPad "my iPad name"
There where a hundred songs on the list. My iPad is on IOS 8.3. I have never had this problem before. Songs purchased from iTunes store are there, but not my own CDs.
Has anyone seen this problem before? What is the solution?

Problem solved! Apparently way back in November of last year I made a copy of the iTunes library on my time machine backup disk manually. I just created the folder on the drive. This was because I was updating the system and did not trust anything to work properly afterwards. The iTunes folder was sitting on that drive and iTunes (for reasons I don't understand) started using parts of it. I noticed this when I tried to play one of the songs from my CD albums. The backup disk would mount and spin up and play the song from there.
By the way the iTunes preferences were set to look at the iTunes library on my mac-mini system disk not the backup drive. Why it went to that backup drive I will never know. Anyway I renamed the iTunes folder to something else on the backup drive. Now when I play a song from an album it goes to the proper iTunes library (the one on my mac-mini disk). Subsequent to this fix a sync to the iPad copied my albums properly with no error.

I bought song with itunes card. The song won't play on my computer or devices. The messages says I need to authorize my computer to play the song. However, when I "authorize" my computer I get message that this computer is already authorized.
and, what is even more strange...
I actually bought 2 Billy Joel songs NY State of Mind from Essential Billly Joel and Italian Restaurant from Greatist Hits vol 1. Neither song would play.
I went back the Apple store and tried to re-download NYSOM. It let me do it for free. Before I checked I tried to re-dowload IR but inadvertantly selected same song but from The Stranger. I had to pay for this one. The re-downloaded NYSOM still didn't work but IR I bought from Stranger worked. So, I bought NYSOM from Greatest Hits vol 1. Didn't work!!! Tried again and bought from another album, Turnstiles, and that one worked. So, I bought 5 songs, only 2 of which will work.
So, now I ask - is there any way to get my money back? -
Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

I purchased an album on ITunes store, while the items downloaded to my phone, it didn't download to my mac. Some of the songs downloaded but not the majority, when I try to download the songs, it gives me an error 8003 Unknown error occured. What am I doing wrong? If I can't download this album, how do I get a credit??
Hello mercdw,
Once the music has been downloaded to your iPhone, you can transfer purchases from your device to iTunes.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
Alternatively, the following article provides further information regarding this error and steps that can help resolve the issue.
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

ITunes - "There were problems downloading some purchased items. The required file can not be found."
I'm having a few problems in iTunes.
I have had iTunes for years through many different devices. I work in music education, so I have music for work and music for home all in my same iTunes account.
In the past year, I have gotten another new computer (a laptop - so I keep my iTunes on an external drive) and also tried my hand at making a separate library for my work music.
Now on summer vacation, I was finally trying to sort out all of my music and get it to the correct iTunes library so that I could sync up my iPods. I hit a brick wall so to speak. In iTunes, I see albums I purchased on iTunes and I try to click the cloud symbol to download them from my cloud. Sometimes, it does NOTHING (no download starts) and sometimes I get an error message like "The iTunes Library can not be saved. An unknown error occurred (13010)." I have also noticed that some things I have purchased have NO cloud symbol and they are not available to be played either (can't click on them - they are greyed out). In addition, I have been getting an error that says it is unknown error 21 - a problem downloading.
It really seems like I have many separate issues but since I don't know what the problem really is, I'm having trouble searching for the answer. I tried searching the problems on the forum and even tried a few things like deleting the genius and extras files everyone was talking about, but it didn't help. Apple won't help me unless I pay them, so I'm trying you first. Thanks for any thoughts you might have.
I have a Windows 8 PC.
I have Home Sharing and Match.
I use iPod Nano, iPod Touch, iPad 2.P.S the error message i got during the download is (err = - 5000)
Thanks in advance -
Downloaded iTunes 11, now the store won't load
I've tried doing system updates and re-downloading the program several times. My music and everything else outside the store works, but when I try to open the iTunes Store, the progress bar goes about halfway and then turns back into the Apple and leaves me with just a blank white screen. I don't get any kind of error message either. It's not my internet connection because it's working fine in all of my browsers and this problem has been going on for over 24 hours. I've tried all of the quick fix methods that usually solve problems like this, and now I don't know what to do. I even tried downloading the older version of iTunes to get it back but that didn't work either because I guess my files have been converted to work on the newest version or something so the old version won't even open at all. I now have the new iTunes 11 back and the store is still doing the same thing. Help.

I could not get my C.D. songs to display in order to download them onto iTunes for my iPod Nano. Instructions say to got to File and select get info. However get info does not highlight therefore I can't access it to go any further. HELP PLEASE. Thanks!
Hello, Welcome to discussions.
I am sorry not much anyone here can do to assist. As 64 bit of Windows XP is not supported with iTunes. The best we can do is provide some articles that are used with normal XP in hopes that it will work again.
You may wish to update the iPod Touch on a machine that is supported with iTunes. At least then the update may apply. From there you could reconnect and Sync iPod Touch.
Again my apologies.

I upgraded from iOS 5 to iOS 7, and now iTunes doesn't work — it simply says "Loading..." but never actually does load.
I've followed various pieces of advice I've found on the web, such as:
- Reset All Settings via IPad's Settings
- Signing out from iTunes & App Store
- Allow all cookies
- Confirming I've an Internet connection
- Powering off the iPad and restarting
- And various others I can't remember now
So what now? I've had this iPad for over two years now which is about the time I usually get a new computer (heard good reports of the Nexus 10), so maybe it's just time to move on. And I spend too much anyway on iTunes.
Any suggestions?I had a response from Apfelwurm via an automated email from Apple Support Communities, but it isn't displaying here. I have no idea why. Apfelwurm's response is:
"Your message is confusing, are you trying to download iTunes onto your iPad?
The point is actually to download iTunes onto your PC and then to connect your iPad to iTunes.
You can download the latest version of iTunes right here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/"
My response to Apfelwurm:
No, I am not trying to download iTunes. I did not say I was trying to download iTunes. In my OP I stated "...now iTunes doesn't work" which implies that it was working before.
To be even clearer: iTunes was working before I upgraded, but it is not working now.
Can anyone else help? -

Bought album in iTunes apple tv, now it won't show on my mac.
With the recent update of the apple tv, I found I could buy music from my apple tv using iTunes. And I just did that. I also have an iMac and tried to listen to the album. I found out the album wasn't downloaded in my library. The funny thing is that when I use itunes store on my imac, the album shows that it has already been purchased. I have tried everything, Store, Download available downloads, and nothing.
Solved, go to itunes store, home, and find the tiniest link that list your recent purchases.

My computers uses WindowsXP. The latest Apple Software Update put the latest version of iTunes on my computer, and now iTunes doesn't work. I've tried that instructions on the Apple homepage (delete program, reinstall, etc.), and nothing works. What's worse is that I'm getting error messages every time I log on to my computer. Is this latest version a pile of pooh? Anybody know how to fix this? Or do I need to wait for Apple to figure out where they screwed up?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I recently did the update for iTunes and after I did that I got the error message: MSVCR80.dll file not found. I followed the suggestions from someone in this community to fix it and now some of my songs aren't playing. And they are the ones that I purchased from iTunes not CDs that I have and ripped to my iTunes library. I can see the songs listed in my iTunes library as well as on my iPod but yet they won't play. On my computer I get the message that this computer is unauthorized to play them and to authorize it. I only have one computer, so I have no idea why I'm getting this message. And does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get all of the iTunes songs to play again?
Hello Angel82co,
It sounds like you have some songs in your library that are not playing, and when you try to play them you are being told the computer is not authorized to play them. I would start by verifying that your computer is still authorized, and take note of the Apple ID that you sign in with:
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
From: iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If the issue persists, next I would use the following article to double check that these songs were purchased under the same Apple ID you used to authorize the computer:
Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
Open iTunes
Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
Choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab.
The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
If it is the same Apple ID then I would next delete the song, and re download it from your purchased history, with this article named:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
