How can I activate a song that downloaded but won't play?

I downloaded a 2 songs by the same artist. I listened to the first then attempted to listen to the second, but the first song kept playing. The second song shows that it downloaded, but isn't available to listen to. Thanks for your help.

Try first pausing the first and trying the second song.
If that doesn't work delete and redownload the song.

If that doesn't work unsync and re-sync music using itunes.

  • HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

    How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

    I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

    You can't, i'm sorry. What you're running into is the activation lock and it requires that the original owner release it with their apple ID before you can set it up.

    How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

    Hi jpere041,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
    This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    Regards,

  • How can I export a video that will loop indefinitely when played from a usb drive?

    how can I export a video that will loop indefinitely when played from a usb drive?

    As far as I know, PPro does not have that capability
    If you were creating a DVD in Encore, you could put an "end action" on the video timeline to itself... so at the end of the DVD video it would go back to the beginning
    I am not aware of any way to do that for a simple file

  • I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play.

    I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play. It is present in the videos app but doesn't load the picture for the movie. When I go to play it, it just opens and then closes. There is an iCloud icon that suggests the movie has not Been downloaded and when I click it it says that the movie has already been rented but not downloaded and that I need to go to downloads to manage it. It is not present in my iTunes download page however. And when I go to rent it again all I get is a watch button that directs me back to the videos app with no way to watch it.

    Hi Refvoxa,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not able to play or download a movie rental on your iPad, first restart your device:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    After your iPad restarts, try resuming the download again:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    If the movie still does not appear in Downloads, and can't be played, I recommend reporting the issue with your purchase:

  • Song Downloaded but Won't Play After Update

    I just downloaded the new Itunes 6.0 and updated my ipod mini with the 4.1 version. Now the song that I dowloaded will not play on my ipod. I can choose the song but the ipod skips right over it and plays the next song.
    I recognized that I do not have Service Pack 2 on my computer could this be the problem.

    I'm having the same problem. iTunes updated to 6.0, iPod Mini on 1.4. I downloaded three songs from iTunes this evening and they won't play on my son's Mini. However, they will play on my daughter's Mini (also 1.4) and on my 3rd gen iPod (2.3).
    On my son's Mini the songs show briefly in the display then skip to the next song without playing. Interesting that the song count updates with each skip.
    Anyone with ideas?

  • ITunes songs, downloaded but won't play

    l'll be listening to a random shuffle on my iPad,  and seemingly randomly my iPad stops playing music. Next I'll select a song to play, the equalizer moves as if the song is playing, but no music comes out of the speaker and the song time tracking slider does not advance. I can seleat a song, which then shows up in the header but it won't play and music can't be heard. I've tried resetting, and that works for a short period of time, but this problem keeps coming back. I couldnt find a better  community to post this to, if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Podcast can be accessed in app, subscribed to, downloaded, but won't play in Itunes when clicking the "arrow" to play.

    Trying to help a friend with a podcast.  It can be subscribed to, downloaded, accessed on a mobile device on the podcast app, but when I go to click the "play arrow" in iTunes it just spins its wheels.
    The page in Itunes is here:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/smokey-college-football-picks/id918319795?mt =2
    The RSS/XML feed is here:  http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/smokeybandit/Smokey_College_Football_Picks_wit h_the_Bandit.xml
    The podcast files are hosted on amazon web services.
    Any ideas why this won't play?

    The media file URL of your top episode is
    http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/smokeybandit/20140917+180949.m4a
    If you enter the URL of a media file for podcasting in the address bar of Safari or another browser, it should play directly in the browser. However your file is set so that it downloads instead of playing. When subscribing this isn't a problem because iTunes downloads the file anyway; but the Store plays the file directly in the Store page, just as a browser does when it's correctly set. If you have the file set to force a download then the Store can't play it directly.
    So you need to go into your Amazon settings and set each file not to download. Then it should all work.
