HT1351 some of my newly purchased music won't sync

Some of my newly purchased music won't sync, even though I converted it to the proper format.

Music purchased from the iTunes Store does not need to be converted before being used on iPods.  Music from most other sources, such as Amazon, is in MP3 format and does not need to be converted.  So, can you explain "even though I converted it to the proper format"?

  • TS3297 problem downloading newly purchased music, "an unknown error occurred (8003") help

    I am having problems downloading newly purchased music, message response is "An unknow error occurred (8003)".  Does anyone know how to correct this error and enable downloading of music?

    Doublechecking. Have you tried the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document?

  • TS3297 iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.

    iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.  Anyboy else get this looping error?

    Hey everybody,
    I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
    I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
    The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
    I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
    Good Luck,
    Bill

  • Music won't sync in ios 8.1

    iTunes impossible to sync - My itunes music won't sync. I have tried it all, resetting, deleting the library and reloading, turning on and off all the possible related buttons on iphone and itunes and still mosto of the music is still with a doted circle on the left that keeps the song grayed and although I hit SYNC nothing happens. Then,  there are songs on the iPhone 6 that are not on the iTunes library. How can that be possible?

    According to http://robservatory.com/a-nasty-little-itunesios-bug-may-be-causing-media-sync-i ssues/, this is an iTunes/iOS bug that has to do with duplicates (or what iTunes thinks are duplicates) in your library.  Rob gives a fix for the problem in the post, but it involves deleting the "duplicates".  If you're like me and don't want to delete them because they aren't really duplicates, hopefully the fix will come soon.

  • IPhone music won't sync with new iMac computer

    I've been using a PC with my iPhone. now I use an iMac and transferred my entire iTunes library from the PC to the Mac, but the music won't sync to the iPhone. I've tried restoring the phone and everything but nothing seems to be working. help?!

    What are your selections under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac and if so, are your contacts and calendar events synced?
    Have you selected any photos on your Mac to be transferred to your iPhone and if so, are the photos being transferred to your iPhone when syncing?
    Long story short, do all other selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences work except for music?

  • ITunes Purchased Music Won't Play

    OK, I must be doing something wrong. I sync my iPhone and it gets all the music I had selected. But I've discovered a number of songs that won't play...and these just happen to be iTunes purchased music! My regular mp3's will play.
    Now I know the purchased songs work because they play on my Nano and Shuffle2. The purchased songs also play in iTunes.
    Any ideas?
    And a second question...I've downloaded a few TV shows which play fine in iTunes but do not play on the iPhone. Is there a "trick" to playing my purchased music and video on the iPhone?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi!
    I discovered that my purchase music and videos stopped playing when I went into a Tully's coffee shop and attempted to access their Wi-fi network. I don't know if this was the cause of me losing access to my purchase music, but this is when the problems started. When I got home today I unloaded all the music playlists off of my iphone using itunes, and then I added them back in and re-synced. This seem to do the trick. I can now listen to all of my purchased music and watch my purchased videos. Give it a try. I hope that we don't have to do this sort of thing all the time.

  • Updated to 2.0, now my purchased music won't play

    I can't seem to do a search since the search function for some reason has gone from the forums.
    I'd like to know if anyone has been able to get their purchased music to play. It will play fine on the computer but not on the iPod Touch. Information is greyed out and the songs are unresponsive to the iPod controls.
    Anyone else have this happen?
    Griff

    Actually I got it solved by re-synching my iPod Touch in iTunes. The second time, my authorization seems to have stuck and my purchased music now plays.

  • Purchased music won't play on ipod 5g 60gb - need help!

    hello everyone,
    i've been looking for help all over the internet for hours and hours, and i have yet to find an answer. i wrote the whole sequence of events down so everyone will know which troubleshooting steps i have already gone through.
    i have an ipod video, 5g, 60gb that i got in december. it's been great, up until i needed to upgrade my operating system to windows xp pro (from xp home edition). i backed up everything onto dvds, proceeded to install the new os (even gave my music it's own partition, now it feels all special and lovely and whatnot ), and reloaded itunes, got my music back on like before. then, i proceeded to install my ipod software, got the latest updates (version 1.1.1 for ipod video), and this is where i ran into problems.
    prior to using itunes to install my music, i noticed a few glitches with version 1.1.1 of the ipod updater. some of my music files would show the correct artwork when normally playing the music, but if i cycled through to the larger picture of the album artwork, almost every item on my ipod showed a picture of a podcast i am subscribed to. seeing i've spent hours putting in correct artwork for thousands of songs, this irked me.
    after getting all my music straight on my computer and made any changes i needed to make, i hooked my ipod up and updated with itunes. due to the new installation of windows, it had to wipe everything, and then redownload everything to my ipod.
    i then noticed that not only my artwork was still screwy, but my purchased music didn't play any longer either. all of the purchased songs and videos skip through after about a couple seconds, but i did notice it did increase my play counts upon further updates. the songs play fine on my computer, no issues. and i have tried the deauthorize/reauthorize process as well, with no success.
    after researching this issue a bit, i decided to follow the 5 r's. even the "restore" r, and then reloaded everything back on my ipod. now, my artwork is back like normal, which i am happy about. however, purchased music still has the same behavior. even gave the deauthorize/reauthorize process another whirl. while i could easily burn those songs to a cd and then rip them to mp3 to make them play, this still wouldn't fix my purchased video issues, leaving me right back at square one.
    oh, and i also downloaded the free song of the week to see if downloading something new would help it out. nope.
    i also downloaded anapod explorer to see if that would give any light onto the situation. it shows the purchased files are on my ipod, but when i disconnect from the program, it tells me "you must download a file from iTMS in order to play protected music," a step which i had already done with the free song of the week.
    i'm just wondering if i should try downgrading my ipod firmware, if anyone has had the same problems, or if anyone could offer any helpful advice? i would greatly appreciate it!

    "oh, and i also downloaded the free song of the week to see if downloading something new would help it out. nope."
    Into a new user account with a separate iTunes library? That's the idea.
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

  • Purchased Music Won't Play!!

    This is my SECOND 60gb Black 5th Gen iPod.... and it was working swell until tonight. I had just finished purchasing another album off ITunes, and put those songs on my Ipod, which I have done many times in the last month, with no problem. Now, however, my Ipod won't play ANY songs that I have purchased, either recently or in the past. My non-purchased (.mp3 format basically) play fine. The weird thing is, I can still play the purchased format through my Powerbook when its reading off the iPod. However ITunes asks me every time I connect the iPod to "name it" as if it were new. Also, I have meticulously organized all my music into Smart Playlists. They appear on the iPod, but NOT in iTunes....what happened and what do I do!??!!? Sorry if this is a bit too much... I am just not hoping to hear ANOTHER "format" because there is a lot of purchased music from the past and older computers I don't have anymore... oye

    (Don't buy Toast just to get an external burner working - try Patchburn from http://www.patchburn.de
    This driver will make (nearly) any burner iTunes compatible.)
    btw. Toast won't work if using Tiger for burning puchased music nor if using QT 7
    If your iTunes burned CD only plays on your computer:
    #1 make sure that iTunes burning Preferences are set to AudioCD
    #2 make sure not to use CD-RW media

  • IOS 7, some music won't sync

    I just updated to IOS 7 and I downloaded new music ( i updated itunes already) and when I synced it, its fine but some of the music won't play it is greyed out with a red circle.  PLEASE HELP

    Does the non-syncing music play in iTunes on the computer?
    If so then
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Purchased music won't transfer to up-to-date iPod

    - I have cross-posted this from the iPod forum as I'm not sure if it's an iTunes Store or an iPod issues. The original posting is at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=491427&tstart=0
    I have a *brand new* (thanks, Apple Care) 20gb colour screen iPod, running up-to-date firmware (checked using the 06-03-23 updater), and an iBook G4 running OS 10.3.9 with iTunes 6.0.4 - and yet...
    when I try to copy iTunes Store purchased music accross to my iPod I get the error message "Some of the songs in the iTunes music library were not copied to [your iPod] because your iPod software is too old. Go to www.apple.com/ipod to get the latest iPod software."
    Can anyone help solve the problem?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iTunes 6.0.4

    Do you use the most current release of QuickTime?
    yes - 7.1.0
    Will those tracks play through iTunes iTself?
    Yes - they will also play very happily when copied onto my old desktop iMac (running OS 10.3.9, iTunes 6.0.2, and QT 7.0.4) - and I have just discovered they will even copy from the desktop to the iPod. It's a tedious workaround thought to have to copy all the music from the laptop to the desktop to the iPod.
    Did you try the 5Rs http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ ?
    Yes, several times. (In fact, the last time I tried to solve this problem I got as far as Restore, and my iPod crashed irreprably - the one I have now, fresh out of the packet, is the warranty replacement).
    However, I have just tried again - and this time have hit trouble at "Re-install".
    I trashed the previous installation of iTunes 6.0.4 - and, for thoroughness, the associated preference files and music library - then emptied the trash, restarted and downloaded the 6.0.4 installer again. Result? I have no iTunes any more, because the installer says that installation is "disabled" on my computer.
    Any advice on what to do next?

  • Non-purchased music won't go to my iPhone

    This problem started two days ago, before that, I have never had this problem. I had a mix of purchased and non-purchased music on my iPhone 5c and two days ago, all of my non-purchased music got deleted. When I went to "On My Device" and clicked on the non-purchased songs, this came up.
    I deleted all of the non-purchased songs, re-downloaded some of them, and tried to put them back on again. Midway through doing that, the same thing appeared next to all of the downloaded songs. I don't know what is causing this. I have only had my iPhone for a little over a month and this has never happened until now, all of my songs were playing perfectly fine. Is there any way that I can get my non-purchased songs to stay on my iPhone? When I try to put them back on, they stay on the iPhone for maybe 10 minutes and get deleted. The only music that remains is music that I have purchased from iTunes.

    Someone please help!! Nothing is working. I even put the songs in my iTunes Media folder and tried to put them on my iPhone again but it still didn't work. Is there a solution to this problem?
