Downgraded to iTunes 6, now I can't play any purchased songs

A few weeks ago I upgraded to the infamous iTunes 7 and it crashed my computer so I paid $100 to have it repaired and today I downloaded iTunes 6 (from the CD that came with my iPod).
First, iTunes 6 wouldn't open because of the "iTunes Library.itl" problem, which I was able to solve.
Now, I cannot play any songs I purchased via iTunes or any song samples on iTunes. I'm signed in but when I click to play a song, a dialog box pops up asking me to authorize the computer. Then after inputting my user ID and password, it gives me a dialog box that says "Machine Authorization was Successful". I close that dialog box and another one pops up that says: "We could not complete your Music Store request. An unknown error occurred (-208)."
What should I do?

  • TS1368 My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it's so stupid

    My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it has messed up my enitre music library

    Hello Carpathianna,
    No judgment here on the music you listen to, I have that song too in my library. If iTunes is telling you that the song is missing and you purchased it from the iTunes Store, then just delete it from your iTunes library and then download your song again. Check out the articles below for more information.

  • Updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music, updated itunes and now it won't play any of my music

    i updated my itunes, and now it won't play any of my music. i tried deleting it and reinstalling itunes, but it still is doing the same thing: whenever i click on a song, it looks like it's going to play (and my last.fm thing starts scrobbling it) but it just doesn't play the song, ever. it sits there, with the play button played. i am so frustrated with itunes, and i have no idea how to resolve this.

    I can't play any purchased movies. Sounds like it is the 6.0 update. So what is the fix? Am I just stuck not being able to use my Apple TV until...?

    Sorry I can't help but I have potentially a similar problem.
    We have an Apple TV 3 and after the most recent software update (potentially coincidental timing), our purchased movies & TV shows will no longer play for our US account. We can play previews but that's it. We also tried renting a new movie but that didn't work either. No error messsage, just select play, it thinks about it, then returns you to the same screen again.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • HT1386 I did a system restore on my computer.  When I had it up and running I downloaded the latest version of itunes.  Now I can't sync any new apps to my ipods.  What may be the problem?

    I did a system restore on my computer.  When I had it up and running again, I downloaded the latest version of itunes.  Now I can't sync apps to my sons ipod.  What can I do to fix this?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing and follow the instructions.

    go iTunes > preferences > advanced and temporarily disable the copy files ... when adding option.
    from the file menu, choose add to library and select the folder on the external containing your content, or drag the folder to the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder.
    when iTunes has finished the operation, go back to preferences > advanced and point iTunes media folder location to the external so that future additions to your library are put there. also, re-enable the copy files ... when adding option.

  • I had to reinstall iTunes, and now I can't transfer all my songs!!!!

    Hello everyone, this is my first and hopefully only post, assuming that I have no more problems with my iTunes/iPod.
    Ok, I recently had to have a new hard drive installed in my computer, and I got it back today. I had to reinstall iTunes, and after doing so I tried to transfer all the songs from my iPod to my new iTunes. All of the songs that I purchased from iTunes transferred without a hitch. I have many songs that I've copied from my CD collection on my iPod, however, and none of these will transfer to my computer now. Can someone please tell me how I can get these songs from my iPod to iTunes without going back and recopying every single CD I own?? Thanks in advance!!

    The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • HT5312 Never set up security questions or rescue email and now I can't make any purchases on my itunes account

    I'm trying to make purchases in itunes but once I type in my apple id and password it prompts me to answer two security questions.  I don't recall ever setting this up and now I can't make purchases because I don't know the answers.  Read article on rescue email address and id security questions and this was no help.  Doesn't prompt me anywhere to set up the rescue email.  HELP!!!

    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
