Help,! iTunes wont let me play the music I bought at the the iTunes store!!
When I try play the music I bought at the iTunes store, iTunes first asumes my computer is not authorized to play it. I add my password to authorize, the authorization is successful, then I get this error:
"we could not complete your itunes request. An unknown error (-208) there was an error in the music store"
All I have done is added an external harddrive to my machine, there was simply no more room on my C: drive for MP3's. I changed the location of where purchased music goes to this new drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanks seratone
Is this a problem that happened over night, or you don't know because you only started to buy and watch movies now?
Can you check to make sure iTunes and everything else is all up to date? If that still fails, lets make a new USER Account, and see if things run proper through there.

I have a new iphone which I backed up using icloud. I can now see all my purchased videos and music and even my itunes library but my phone wont let me play any of them. When I go into an album for example it seems to spin through all the songs and then close it down, same goes for any videos............. Not sure what Im doing wrong.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried in different locations, does this happen everywhere. Have you tried a hard restart. -
I bought a few songs and music videos from iTunes, then all of a sudden it wouldn't play and would just skip to the next song. With the music videos it would do the same. Also, this message would show up " The Requested URL could not be found on this server" What does that exactly mean? And what do I need to do to play my music/videos again?

Help. transfered my itunes liberary via a hard drive to a new lap top. wasnt easy, cant play any thing I bought on the old computer says this one not registered? The box that comes up has my VERY old email on it, I change this to my current one put in password and it says computer is registered. This then just goes around in circles! Any ideas?
I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
Plug your phone into iTunes
Click setup as a new device
Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
Plug your phone back in
Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device. -
I tried resisting my phone it didnt work. Please help? This is the first time it has ever happens and has been doing it for a week. The sound will only play without headphones or speakers is when I'm listening to my ringtone. And my phone won't turn off. It turns off then just turns back on.
There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it. -

Very interesting
only thing coming to my mind would be to attach it to itunes, un-sync music and re-sync, see if that fixes it.
Or before doing that try a restart / reset -
My iPod wont let me open the App Store without crashing. Anyone know how I can fix this???
Does anyone know how to fix this?
If not successful:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases.
If this doesn't work then delete the two tracks and re-download them if this is permitted in your country of residence. -
my icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?
To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID. If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have had my frist account for a very long time. I was the first in the family to an apple product. After awhile my family joined in on my account. So instead of having to deal with all their music getting on my ipod/iphone I created a new account. Well, I recently updated my iphone and for some reason it wouldnt let me listen to my music. It would just skip around and never play anything. So I ended up deleting it all and tyring to start over. I have all the music from my first account on it but now it wont let me put my music from my second account. It says " This Device is already associated with an apple ID" " If you download past purchases with you Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days." then it gives me the option to "cancle" or "transfer". I dont know what to do after that. I am scared to click transfer because I dont want to lose any of my music I had just loaded on. Help?
It is not telling you to update your iphone, it is telling you that you need to update itunes on your computer.

Itunes can not find original file so wont let me play?
I recently got a new computer and not all of my songs on my hard drive were moved over. When I am in itunes it wont let me play some songs and says it can not locate original file. I can play and download them fine on my ipad. But I want it on my desktop. Help????
From what you said clearly the original file is still on the old computer. You need to move things from there properly or if it is too late to do that then hopefully you can download it again.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks, alert tones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). -

My iPod(5) .... Wont let me unlock, the "triple home click" doesn work and i cant see the screen because i turned on voice over and it froze turned off then turned on but the screen is still black. it also wont let me turn off voiceover.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
