HT1386 My purchased music wont play on the iphone

My purchased music wont play on the phone even after syncing it with itunes. Only the music that I loaded into itunes from CD will play on the phone. I've tried everything to sync and reload the phone library!!! Now what?

Consider yourself lucky!  I have been unable to disable music on my iphone. Let's trade phones!

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Only purchased music will play on my iPhone, this is not a location problem either.

    This screen is the same for all my music on my phone:
    The location of all files are fine and they play perfectly on my laptop, but only purchased ones will play on my iPhone, any ideas?

    No, your iPhone i s telling you that you need iTunes 11.1 or greater on your computer in order to sync with the computer.
    I've been having problems with iTunes on my PC so I re-installed it but it's been a nightmare trying to get it to work.
    Then you should fix this issue with iTunes before you try to sync your iPhone to it.
    See this -> Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support

  • Older purchased music wont play??

    my itunes plays most of the newly purchased music, but it wont play other music. i have already deathurized all computers and only authorized the one that im on now. but the older music says its still already used up all 5 slots.
    any thoughts???

    Make sure you're using the iTunes Store account under which the tracks were purchased. Often people forget that some tracks were purchased from a different account. Select a track that won't play, Get Info (under the File menu), and it will show you the account name through which it was purchased. Make sure that's the account ID and password you're using to authenticate.
    Note that if that account also shows all five authorizations used up, you'll have to log into that iTunes Store account and use the Deauthorize All command for that account as well.
    Hope this helps.

  • Purchased Music wont play on iphone

    Hi everyone..
    Please help!
    Music has all worked fine on iPhone 4s.
    As of yesterday all my puchased music on my iPhone won't play. 
    It doesn't start or even try but jumps to the next song with the wrong artwork. 
    CDs I transferred work fine but nothing from iTunes.
    iTunes plays fine on my computer.
    I tried deactivating then reactivating and resynching.
    I also copied the purchased into a playlist. It wont play the songs purchased songs out of the playlist either.
    Grr.. any ideas?
    No updates/new software since then and Im on the latest iTunes version and latest iOS

    Ok folks,
    I had this problem inn that the music was on the phone but would not play or at least the track appeared to be playing but no sound or the art work and artist did not match the track playing.
    What I did was un tick every box in the iphone music tab and then synced. I then took all the sync my music ticks out and scnced the phone again. My tracks were still on the phone and played.
    I have the back up to icloud turned on so i don't know if this was causing some conflict somewhere.
    It seems to have sorted it for me at the moment.
    Hope this helped

  • Another Ipod Problem - Purchased Music wont play

    I just recently recieved my fifth repaired Ipod in a year and a halves time, and now I have another problem. I loaded all of my iTunes songs to my iPod, but all of my purchased music will not play, it just skips over them to the next song. What is going on?
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Could you share this again? I have looked for answers to this issue in multiple threads and have yet to find anything that works. All the latest stuff, resync, etc. and the purchased music still won't play after some interval of time. It plays fine for a while then it just skips through the titles.
    Is it a time thing or something you can set?
    Thx for any insight.

  • HT201272 purchased music wont play

    i am trying to sync music to my new ipod touch it says its downloaded but it wont play half plays half wont

    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    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 wont play on my rebuilt computer

    i recently had problems with my computer and i rebuild some of the compotents like the mother board, video card added a stick of ram, a sound card and got a new case for the computer. and now itunes isnt letting me play my purchased music nor upload it into my ipod. any fixes?

    I would guess that iTunes is recognizing your rebuilt computer as a "new" computer. I would suggest try authorizing your newly-rebuilt computer (I believe there is an option to authorize your computer under the Advanced menu). So it's likely that the music is not playing because the computer is not authorized yet.

  • Music wont play after updating iPhone 4 to iOS 6.

    After upgrdaing my iphone 4 software: my music library wont play any songs. It just skips all of them until it reaches the end of the list. I't seems that subscribing to iTunes Match will solve this problem but i dont want to pay for it. Is there any other solution that dosnt involve subscribing?

    I'm having the exact same problem! Only some of my songs are on there. Like it will show that the song is there but the content is not. It keeps skipping until it finds a song that actually downloaded. I've restored my phone twice since upgrading to ios6 and nothing helps. I hate this update and wish I never did it.

  • Purchased music wont play on ipod

    music bought and downloaded from itunes music store (Australia) will not play on my ipod. it skips through the playlists and then goes back to the main menu or just dosnt play the song at. need help please.

    Re your music, does any music purchased previously from itunes run on your ipod? My daughter's ipod mini is displaying the similar symptoms, an album she bought and downloaded has stopped playing, deleting and re-loading got it working again but within the week it was back to skipping through the list again. It's only this one album that has been affected,older purchases are working fine. She has the latest software on her ipod and iTunes.

  • My music wont play in the lock screen

    My Music will not play when I double click the lock screen, and I dont know what to do.

    I just upgraded my Black 16 GB GSM iPhone 4 to the first official release of iOS 5 last night (about 12 hours after release) and am unable to play *MOST* of my music with Apple's built-in "Music" app. My main music collection is at home (while I'm currently at work) and my best guess, currently, without my collection to compare it to, is that I might be unable to play MP3s while AACs may be the ones that are playing fine. I will have to ammend this with better details when I get home, but I'm rather disappointed, as the majority of my music is MP3.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    -Loren

  • New computer, transfered music via external hard drive, library there but music wont play, message "The song "    " could not be used because the original file could not be found. Tech did everything, said call  Itunes support

    New Computer
    transfered Itunes library via clickfree backup. New computer Tech support(Premier PC) did this, Now can not play library within Itunes. Message says "The song " song name " could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Same Tech tried different things via on line support could not fix and said call itunes support and say Itunes will not play on new computer.

    I was given the option to locate the file where the song is held. If so select "locate" and direct it to the folder / file where the song is and open it. itunes then will give you the option to use this process to update all of your library. OK that as this will do it automatically instead of doing them one by one. I hope this helps.
