HELP! AAC protected files wont play on my computer or download to new nano

About 100 of my songs are listed in iTunes as AAC 'protected' and each time I try to play them iTunes instructs me to 'authorize this computer'. I have done that and when I finish iTunes tells me that 'this computer is already authorized' but it still wont play my songs or let me download to my new iPod. This is the same computer I have always used. What do I do?

There have been many problems reported of M4P files not playing correctly in 9.1. Hang in there until a fix comes.
Unfortunately M4Ps cannot be played in any player besides iTunes. You might want to think about an iTunes Plus upgrade.

  • I just bought a movie but it wont play on my computer.

    I just bought a movie off itunes.  not only did it take 90 minutes to download, now it wont play on my monitor.
    I have an mac pro book with 10.7.5.
    So I downloaded it to my ipad, connected it through HDMI cable to the TV and it refused to play as well.  Said the TV monitor was not authorised.
    What is the use of paying $30 for a movie when it wont play on any device?  I'm not interested in playing a movie on my teeny ipad.  I want it on the big screen.
    Error message says it is locked?
    I thought maybe I could burn it to DVD and then just play it in the Xbox. 
    Any suggestions?

    I have a 2nd gen. iPod and it wont play a song I
    recently downloaded (My Doorbell by The White
    Stripes). What should I do? I already tried
    downloading it again, and that didnt work.
    I have the same issue with the same song. Itunes will play it, but my Ipod will skip several songs on the album before it starts to play.

  • Protected AAC music/files not playing or appearing in iTunes purchases

    Any purchases which I made from itunes during 2007/08 which were protected AAC files will no longer play on my pc (nor download to my ipod).  I get multiple 'This computer is not authorised to play....Would you like to authorise it?' When I authorise it, it tells me that 'This computer is already authorised (2 out of 5)'.  But the track will not play and again asks for authorisation. The tracks that will not play are all 'Fairplay version 2'. I thought about deleting them and downloading them again as I understand that Apple no longer encripts files, but they do not appear in my previous purchases in my itunes account (no purchases before 2011 appear?) - so I assume that I cannot download them again. So i have the tracks in my library, the 'info' says that they are registered to my itunes account, but it seems that because they are encripted I cannot play them.  Help please!!

    I am having what seems to be the same problem as Julie described. After purchasing an album on itunes, I created a CD-R disk that will play on the computer but not on any of several players I tried. The CD shows (Get info) each tune to be an MP-4. In ITunes...the tracks are shown as AAC protected...I don't know the difference.
    It appears Julie solved the problem by your suggestion to go to iTunes preferences...I tried that Pref>Advanced>Burning>and selected Audio CD and burned a second disk....actually I didn't change anything because my preferences were already set that way.
    I would never buy anything else from iTunes that I cannot play on my home system. this has been a frustrating matter and I guess what I am asking is there a pausible solution?
    To your questions:
    Play on home CD player: message: No audio...although the Cd plays on the computer ok.
    Media used: Memorex CD-R
    Brand of players: Sony DVD player 1.5 years old & Cyberhome 1 year
    Operating System 10.3.9
    iTunes 5.xx
    Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks,
    ron

  • Is there any way to move AAC Protected Files to my new Macbook?

    I had an older PC laptop and at the time I bought over 300 songs in 2007 that were all coded as AAC Protected.  I've upgraded to a Macbook Pro and am trying to move those songs to my iTunes on that computer but am having issues.  It keeps telling me that  have to authorize the songs, which I have done, and I then get a message confirming that the macbook is an authorized computer.  However, I still can't play the other songs.  I'd like to rely on the Macbook for my iTunes but don't want to lose those songs.  Does anyone know of any way to move those songs over?  (I've tried home sharing and using an external hard drive.)

    Is it possible that the tracks were purchased via a different iTunes Store account than the one you're using to authorize the MacBook? You can Get Info on a sampling of the tracks that will not play and confirm the account under which they were purchased. If you find that they were indeed purchased through another iTunes Store account, just authorize the MBP to that account as well.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help, Some songs just wont play from mediasource off of

  • Need help badly. project file wont open. saying damaged file or may contain outdated elements. please help

    project file wont open. damaged file or contains outdated elements message. i believe its an XML error but i dont know how to fix it. please help

    As a happy user of the Matrox RT.X2 for many years, and later an equally happy user of a Matrox MXO2, I can say from experience that it is highly unlikely that this problem has anything to do with the Matrox hardware!
    Can you open a new blank project, and save it?
    If you cannot import your faulty project into a new project, can you import the sequence from your faulty project?
    Have you tried clearing the Media Cache, clearing your preferences, etc. - all among the techniques used to resurrect a Premiere Pro project that has gone bad???

  • AAC (.m4a) file can play in Quicktime player... but not in iTunes!

    I have QuickTime player v7.6.9. I also have iTunes 10.2.1.1
    I have an AAC-encoded file which can play perfectly in the QuickTime player. It shows the song has a duration of 3:46.
    I tried to add this to my iTunes library. It shows up with a duration of 789:57:13 and iTunes refuses to play it... just moves on to the next song on the list.
    What's this all about?

    Well, I'm not sure how this file was encoded originally, but luckily I had "faad" (Freeware Advanced Audio Decoder) installed on a nearby Ubuntu Linux machine.
    I copied the AAC/.m4a file to the Ubuntu machine.
    In a terminal, switched to the directory where the AAC file was and typed "faad yourmusic_filename.m4a" which created a .WAV file.
    I copied the .WAV file to the Windows machine running iTunes.
    Had iTunes add the .WAV file to the library.
    Selected the .WAV file in the library and did "Advanced -> Create AAC Version".
    Now I also have an AAC version of the song in the library that will play in both iTunes and QuickTime.
    Say, wouldn't it be nice if iTunes would actually FIX the file on its own in the first place... or at least be a little more receptive to any AAC file you can throw at it like its QuickTime brother?

  • Song wont play in iTunes - computer needs authorization but is already authorized?

    I click to play a song in iTunes (which also purchased from iTunes) but am shown the message "This computer is not authorized to play [song title]. Would you like to authorize it now?". I enter in my username and password to authorize and am told "your computer is already authorized". I even tried to deauthorize then reauthorize but the song still wont play, and this cycle continues.
    Every other song on the release plays with no issues - this one track is the only one that wont.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi davisonnosivad,
    I would recommend starting with these steps:

  • Songs wont play because 'the computer is not authorized' ...??

    Some of my songs won't play because 'the computer is not authorized' but when I authorize it, it says it's already authorsized??
    Can anyone help with this? I tried deauthorizing the computer, but same thing.

    Same problem. Not sure if it's since updated to Mavericks or iTunes updated. Must be one of the two as it has never happened before. Tried updating iTunes but still happens.
    On one album I bought for example, it will only play certain songs; others it will tell me it needs authourising and then go ahead and tell me that it's already authourised. Fun.
    Obviously this is a problem that has been happening for a long long time judging by previous discussions but yet to see any that had a solution!

  • SWF file will play on the computer that created it but not on another

    I created a fla file that has an imported flv video, I then both published it, and tryed exporting it as swf, in all cases the video plays fine on the computer where I created the video file but doesn't play on another computer. The other computer where it won't play has the latest flash software, and doen't have any problem with any other swf files.
    What could possibly be the reason for this?
    Thanks,
    Rob Fenwick

    I redid it embeding the video instead of inporting it,  which is what I should of done initially. Thank you for the advise, I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what was wrong, and I don't have much left.
    I had a second problem with the sound not being in sync but figured out I could fix that problem by changing the frame rate.
    Thanks again,
    Rob
