Certain songs purchased wont play

i was purchasing acouple songs from itunes and the two of them that were labeled as "clean" wouldnt play when i clicked on them but the other ones did

Hey nolefan334,
It sounds like you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize. I would try the suggestions in the following article:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Upgraded to itunes 8.0 - Purchased Songs now wont play - no error message.

You are in that awful authorization loop.
Here are some steps to try.
1. Deauthorize, then reauthorize your PC - it might be using multiple authorizations and this article shows you how to fix that.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206
And make sure you authorize for all iTS accounts, even that old one from 3 years ago you may have forgotten about.
2. Delete the SC Info folder. The entire folder, not just the file. It will get rebuilt the next time you start iTunes. Don't forget to restart your PC, as the article says.

3. Get a free single of the week, which has the latest DRM on it, and play a few seconds of it. Sometimes the latest song of the week fixes everything.
And if that doesn't work, contact iTS support from this page - use the Contact Us button.
They will tell you to do the same things; reply back to their canned response.

Some of my alums and song now wont play on my phone, why?

a lot of my albums have litte ref circles next to eacvh song and wont play. i have tried to download them again but nothing

Hello rahulseth,
I would recommend for these symptoms that you delete the song and re download it using this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That should resolve any issues with the downloaded file.

After loading the new OS now my songs do not play correctly. Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn't play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What's up? Kind of frustrating!!!

After loading the new OS my songs do not play correctly, is anyone else having this issue? Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn’t play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What’s up? Kind of frustrating!!!

I had the same issue. In fact I posted it yesterday, but didn't get any replies. I physically synched my phone to PC iTunes. on the PC, under the phone/music tab, I unchecked the synch music box and then the apply button to remove all of the music from my phone. Then once that synch finished, I went back and selected all music, and synch music and apply to put it back on to the phone. So far, I haven't had an issue again, but I also haven't listened very long. Hope this helps!

When I try to play a song on Itunes, it has an explanation point next to every song and wont play.

The usual reason for missing files is 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.
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.
When you get things fixed make a backup.

Certain embedded videos wont play

certain embedded videos wont play. Flash type. There's a code UT-8 type?
example for the Vindictus game, all the little flash videos of game play wont launch. Its a shock wave file I guess, and the problem is, I cant launch the game if the buttons dont appear!

That is a FLV file played by a Flash player.<br />
Your More system details list shows that you have the Flash plugin.<br />
Do you have problem on other sites with Flash?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I am not computer savvy. I have a second generation itouch, and have never had any problems. Just recently, certain songs will not play. It will skip the song to the next one. Certain videos will not play. The message, "This movie could not be played

I am not computer savvy. I have a second generation itouch and have never had any problems with it until now. When I try to play certain songs, it will not play the song and skip to the next song selection. When I try to play certain videos, the message "This movie could not be played" appears. I contacted a tech spec who said it was possibly a format problem. How do i fix this?

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

Old ipod songs that wont play on itunes

I transferred some old ipod songs onto my itunes. When I try to play I get this message: "This computer is not authorized to play "song name" Would you like to authorize it"
When I enter my password it says: " This computer is already authorized" but it still wont play my songs? Can anyone help me?

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit>Preferences>iPod>Music tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Certain songs will not play on iPhone and also not in my iTunes library

My problem is that songs will not play on my iPhone that I have purchased and appear like this...
These songs also do not appear in my iTunes library and when I look at the album (or other songs with this problem) in the iTunes Store it appeaers like this...
As you can see it says "purchased" where it would usually say "play"
It'd be great if someone could help as I am completely baffled.
Thanks.

In settings on your phone: iTunes and App store - is "show all music" off? Is automatic downloads off?
Do you share the computer with other Apple users? Is it currently associated with another Apple ID?
The work around is open iTunes purchases on your phone and download directly to your phone that way.

HT201272 some games already purchased, wont play like skies of glorys and red tails, and being billed again for items already purchased

why are some games like skies of glory and red tails will download then start with the titles but wont play, they played before the last update IO 6. I have deleted them and reloaded them, still wont play.
and when restoring previous purchased items I am being billed again!!! seriously peed off!
any clues

I know this stuff is 3 months old but I just got mine and hadn't yet used the pin function so now I know.
I hope you are right Nancy that it will have updates, but I really doubt it. This is the norm for Microsoft when stuff they put out bombs. Dish Network had a DVR receiver many years ago that had Microsoft software installed and it was buggy to say the least. They updated it a few times but then abandon it. For a few years Microsoft wouldn't release the code to Dish Network to allow DN to fix the bugs. It was a real "Hate Microsoft" time for those users. DN had to put out their own coded DVR receivers and let the Microsoft ones die.
I think VZ made a deal with MS and removed the stuff MS wasn't supporting. Then VZ put them out without needing a data package to unload them.

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

Updated iOS 5 have everything but certain music tracks wont play. Manually manage songs. Help?

After updating iOS 5 I got everything back. However certain music tracks will not play. I manually manange my songs. Don't sync my music. How do I fix this?

I am having a really wierd issue as well that is probally related. I dont see 95% of the album artwork associated with my music. Also, it seems as if this has gotten worse since I started using that match feature

Certain songs purchased from Itunes will loose sound half way through playing.

I have tried re-downloading, but this made no difference. Happens when playing on any Apple device. Any ideas?

If it happens on multiple devices then it's a faulty file. If you have re-downloaded then it is possible it is at Apple's end. Tell them.
