HT1386 Some iTunes purchased music no longer plays on my phone 4s.

Recently my Iphone (which I have had for almost a year with no issue) 4s filled its memory with "Other" and it was coded yellow on the status bar.... This "other" filled my entire 32 gig phone which didnt allow any other information to be stored.  I resynced my phone to factory settings to try and reset my phone.  Once I did that the "other" was gone but now a good portion of my itunes purchased music no longer plays on my phone. I dont have iTunes sharing so thats not the issue....My other iPhone 4s is fine and all music plays ok....

Try syncing all the music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then back on.

  • ITunes purchased video no longer plays on 3GS after upgrade to os 4

    iTunes purchased video no longer plays on 3GS after upgrade to os 4. Specifically, curious George episodes used to make my 2 year old go off to his quiet place no longer play on my iPhone. Anyone else having this issue or know of a solution? The content was purchased on iTunes and played fine on previous os.

  • 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.

  • HT1386 Some of my music won't play on my iPhone

    Shortly after upgrading to the latest OS (7.0.2), I've noticed some of my music won't play on my iPhone.  I can see the songs but they have a red circle with a square inside it next to them and I can't do anything with them.  I have plenty of space and there's not "downloading from the iCloud" option. 
    Problem 2...some other people are having this problem and recommend wiping the music off my phone and re-syncing via iTunes but when I plug my phone in (or sync via wi-fi, either one) to sync, it hangs up on "waiting for changes to apply" and never wipes the music.  I've looked around at other complaints about this issue and none of the recommended "fixes" work.
    I assume this is going to require an OS patch of some sort.  What's the ETA on this and is there a way to get around it now?

    I have this problem too but all the songs that wont play arent downloaded from the itunes store theyre from another site

  • ITunes Purchased Music/Videos Not Playing On iPod

    Hi All..
    Long time reader, first time 'post-er'..
    I have a problem that is starting to annoy me.. All my purchased music and videos from iTunes will play in iTunes and transfer to the ipod, but when I go into play these from the iPod.. It starts to play (on videos the black screen comes up) then just jumps back to the menu.
    My videos that I have converted from DVD are perfect, and songs I have imported are also perfect.. Its just everything from iTunes wont play on my iPod.. But I obviously cant convert my iTunes videos because they are protected.. To get my purchased music on my iPod I need to burn and import.. Annoying isnt it?!
    Anyone have any ideas??? Would be very much appreciated!!

  • Itunes purchased music will not play on Ipod

    I have had an Ipod since second generation around 2004. It lasted me until about two weeks ago and i recently bought a new fifth generation. When 7.0 came out my older ipod would not play my purchased music and suddenly started to give me errors(unhappy ipod, and folder). I took it into the genius bar and i was told that the hard drive had died. I think that is a load of hogwash. I was able to "revive" it to only have it die again. The new Ipod has the same problem with the purchased music. I have tried the 5 R's, I have reloaded my library, everything. I thought that possibly if the files were on a shared network it messed it up, but i have unshared everything. Nothing seems to work but reloading the purchased music from a cd that has been burned. I dont want to take the time to do that for over 350 songs. Are there any suggestions from a real Apple tech? And will this be SOLVED?

    seems like Apple wants us to illegaly obtain the songs from now on. You know the story about starving musician, poor janitor at studio, well it is not important now.
    I am done with being cool, now i want something that will actually work. lets see how long will it take for iTunes update to come accros, and will anyone in Apple say we are sorry guys, we screwed up. hmmm, maybe refund for all the songs you purchased would be fair, you know guys we sold you and told you it will work on your coputer, but look surprise they dont. no, not even crappy explanation, just new update.

  • Purchased Music No Longer Plays.

    I had to reinstall Windows and all of my programs. I had a back-up of my songs and transferred them over, but now I get an error for any purchased music in Itunes 6.0. I get a message to put in my Apple password, then another that says I can't play the songs after I put in my password. Is there anything that can be done so I don't have to pay for all these songs again?
    Thanks!

    This might not be the solution, but I think I can explain your problem a little more clearly. iTunes might not recognize your computer because iTunes has a feature that permits a certain number of computers to have access to your account (say, if you had 2 computers and used the same account on iTunes for both). Maybe this would be the problem--alas, I don't have a solution for you.
    Get b noir to answer this, he/she is the best one here that I'm aware of

  • Why is my music no longer playing on my phone after iOS7 update?

    I updated my phone to iOS7 (yay!) but now the majority of my music will not play on my my phone.  The music plays on my computer just fine, but doesn't appear to sync to my phone now.  This is how my 32 gig phone now appears on iTunes:
    It's filled to the correct levels... but says I have half of my phone free.  Which I don't.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Susie

    I just found this and it seems to be working.
    ChrisJ4203 said "Is the Apple ID you are signed into the phone with the same as the Apple ID the music is with in iTunes? Can you try and sign out by going to Settings>iTunes and App Stores. Click on your Apple ID, select Sign out. Do a reset on the phone holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, then go back there and sign back in again. See if that helps."
    Seems to work! I actually have two different apple accounts for my phone and for my iTunes (when I got my phone the guy did not tell me how important it was to have one account!)
    So this may be the case for many people!

  • Some iTunes purchased songs will not play on iPhone.

    Some of my songs that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on my iPhone but will play on my MacBook Pro and iPad - what can I do to fix this.  This problem has been happening for around a week now.  At first it was 1-2 songs but now in a playlist of around 80 songs approximately 1/4 of the songs will not play.  When the song comes up next in the playlist it will not only skip that song but will also skip past 1-2 other songs.

    Hey brewmaster1967,
    Does this happen with any other purchased content? Download some of the free on iTunes store songs.
    Deauthorize the computer and play/authorize the song in iTunes again.

    Try re-creating the iTunes Library.

  • ITunes Purchased Music

    I recently did a sync on my new phone and now my purchased music won't play on my phone. My wife's music will play on it but it just skips my songs.

    Sign into your iTunes account.
    It will then skip your wife's music.

  • After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play

    After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play (though they still play on the computer).  When I tested it on another computer it claimed that computer was not authroied to play these songs even though I was just playing them directly off the ipod.  Even more strange is that I alos have a number of songs loaded on my itunes from albums I loaded and I am fairly sure these songs were ones I recorded rather than purchased but now they appear on my purchased list.

    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 all music and resync
    - 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:                                 
    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.

  • Some of my older itunes tv shows no longer play sound?

    I recently reformatted, installed my operating system and files and have noticed that some of my previously purchased itunes tv shows no longer play the sound, i tried redownloading one or two and those have no sound either which leads me to believe it's a problem with my machine somewhere.
    Now, I did lose power today for about 5 mins and noticed this problem *AFTER* the power came back on, but every thing else about my mac seems fine, any thoughts?

    Hi I have an apple tv 2.  I don't recall the last time I updated, but I was always advised against it.  I was turning on apple tv but had tv on wrong output and I guess I accidently hit update.  It says not to unplug or turn off, so I went ahead and let it update.  I have a collection of old movies that I owned before RedBox came out, so I downloaded them to my itunes library.  Now a lot of my newer movies will not show up on my playlists.  Movies that were there before.  Anyone know what happened, but better yet, please tell me there is a way to undue this new update?  PLEASE! 
    I know it's not the internet connection, because I can go to my computer and airplay it to the apple tv with no problem.  But this will be such a pain.
