HT1349 most song in itunes library is not playing.reason?

most songs in itunes library are not playing. Reason?

I have a similar problem.
I just bought 2 albums (Pirates of the Caribean III and Linkin Park - Mintues to midnight) and every time I want to play one of the songs it asks me for my account password. After entering it, it says this computer was activated. But it still doesn't work!!
If I want to sync I get the same message:
"Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod"
I've also bought a iPod-Game (Mahjong) and have the same problem...
I have a 80GB video iPod.

  • Some Itunes songs in my library do not play. How do I play them?

    Many of the songs purchased and located in my Itunes library do not play.  One of the common denominators with the non-playing songs is the Icloud with an arrow next to the song.  I've been instructed to click on these and nothing happens.     I've also checked my account for available downloads and receive a response indicating everything has already been downloaded.     My computer is authorized. The songs were purchased through Itunes and used to play.  I purchased the Icloud last year, never really used it and did not renew.   I spent 45 minutes (on the phone) with Apple support represenative yesterday. She did was not able to resolve the issue and after 15 minutes placed me on hold.  I waited 30 minutes for her ro return and finally hung up.
    Perhaps, someone has had a simliar experience and can help me out.

    Hello Jeanette,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Sorry to that there is an issue with some of your purchased songs.  First, I recommend trying to delete the problematic songs and redownload the songs from your past purchases.
    Follow these steps to delete the song from your iPhone:
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf ):
    You can follow the steps in the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article to redownload the songs (as long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the songs, you will not be charged for the songs):
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you are still not able to play the songs after redownloading them, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

  • Recovering iTunes Song List (iTunes Library.xml not updated)

    How do I recover the iTunes library song list? My computer recently crashed, so I had to get this new one. The old hard drive is working fine. I just need the song list to be able to identify the songs that I have yet to copy unto my iPod (I arrange the library by 'Date Added'). Since my music files are located in a variety of places, it would be very difficult for me to locate each without being guided by the list.
    For some weird reason, the iTunes Library.xml is not updated. It's still dated 2009, so that fix goes out the window, I guess.
    Thanks in advance.

    try if the suggestions in this thread help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168081&tstart=0.

  • ITunes Library will not play off my laptop

    My host music library that is on my Dell laptop is not playing. The music list is there however when I click on the play button, the songs do not start to play. This problem started after I installed the latest version of itunes.

    hi Alan!
    StarDeb has been handling most of the research on this particular problem. here's my latest information pack, but it's probably out of date by now:

  • Song in iTunes library won't play in iMovie

    +The song "Autumn to Winter - New Age Piano Music for Relaxation" could not be used because the original file could not be located.+
    I would like to use the song mentioned above in an iMovie project. I just bought and downloaded it from the iTunes store; it plays when I click on it in my music library and it appears in the music list in iMovie. However, when I try to play it in iMovie, the message above appears.
    Help please.

    Thanks for the advice.
    I had never had any problems using songs downloaded into iMovie/iDVD projects from my iTunes library. As it turned out, there was a problem with the song itself - for some reason iTunes didn't know where it was on my computer. After several unsuccessful back and forth emails to iTunes help, I chose another song, purchased and downloaded it as a test. Everything worked as it should.
    I will remember your process if anything happens in the future.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

  • Some songs listed in my iTunes Library won't play

    I'm running iTunes 8.0.2.20 on Windows XP SP3.
    My iTunes library is set to be located in the default place, i.e.
    C:\Documents and Settings\<my user name>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    It's fairly large (11833 songs to date).
    I regularly sync my 160GB iPod classic with it.
    Recently I have been finding that various songs listed in my iTunes library will not play - if I click to play them, nothing happens.
    If I right-click on them (Get Info) and follow the listed path to where they are in my library, I go use Windows Explorer to access the underlying MP3 in a different application (e.g. WinAmp) and the MP3s do seem to be present and correct and play fine in WinAmp.
    So far all the songs this has happened with have been ones which were ripped off my CDs to MP3 before I got the iPod, and subsequently imported into iTunes.
    Any suggestions as to what is going on and how to repair it?
    Obviously, I can manually delete the songs that won't play from iTunes, then re-import them all over again from the original CD..... but this is a bit time-consuming (especially where I have customized the metadata and artwork beyond what is in the Gracenote® database)....and with over 10 thousand songs in my library, there's no way to test them all easily to see which ones work and which don't.
    Is my library getting corrupted in some way?
    Is there a way to rebuild it somehow? (without losing my customized metadata and artwork?)

    Yes, actually lots of folks. iTunes 8 has gotten really fussy about MP3 tags and won't play or even add them to the library if it doesn't care for their format. They may have played in previous versions, but won't now.
    Use Mp3 Validator to fix any tag issues. It's a free DL. I've used it, and it works.
    Just try it on one song and you'll believe!
    Here is a good web article on it:

  • My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"

    My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"...I literally bought some of these songs yesterday on my iPhone and now I can't sync them to my iPad. What is this issue? Usually I would just have to plug either device into iTunes and everything would sync, now nothing new syncs.

    On your iPad tap Settings > Store
    Switch Books off then back on then reset your iPad.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

    Since you can only sync your iPod with one computer at a time, you'll need to copy the contents currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to accomplish this task.

  • ITunes Artwork Screensaver "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs

    i have been using the iTunes Artwork Screensaver on my 1.25GHz PowerPC G4, running Leopard 10.5.2 and it has worked perfectly, showing all my album artwork. i got all the album covers from amazon.com or google. i have always kept my iTunes Library on my Boot Drive and have never moved it.
    Yesterday when my computer went into screensaver mode (itunes artwork) the message "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork"!
    This is really strange, as all the albums in my library have artwork. i have also tried deleting the iTunes Artwork Screensaver preference file.
    I know that there are many issues with the artwork screensaver, but i have not found a solution to this problem.
    I would appreciate anyones help!

    i'm glad to see that i'm not the only one with this problem. i have seriously tried everything, like deleting the preference files of the itunes screensaver, using a script to embed the artwork, repairing disc permissions but i the screensaver just won't work. the message that my library does not contain any artwork still appear every time.

  • Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder

    Some songs from my iTunes library do not show in my Finder music folder. For example one of the three CD's form a triple album do not show in Finder. And therefore they do not get saved when I back up my Mac either. Any ideas?

    Consolidate ("organize") simply looks at everything you have in iTunes and copies them to the iTunes media folder location specified in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.  If you select to use the default settings iTunes will copy any files in its library in the correct location in the media folder.  Since you don't want the files in a different locaiton really but just want to deal with some stragglers don't do the full "move" in hte instructions below but make sure they are organized.
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12165
    The files will be copied so you will need to find the originals abd once you are content the library is working you can get rid of them (I often archive them on an external drive, delete the originals, then play the files which is a sure test if you have a workable copy on the computer).
