HT1491 iTune Purchase - Song

I purchased/downloaded a song from itunes to my iPhone 4s, but it won't play. Its in my library of songs but its "grayed' out when i tap it, nothing happens, it still doesn't play, it just goes back to the page where all my songs are.
I wanted to re-purchase, but it keeps saying "you already purchased" and there is no other choices but "ok" which brings me back to my songs.
How do fix this, can I down load it again without having to pay for it? What are my options?
The Order # MJ3YZ610W1, Item: Take Me to the King, by Tamela Mann, cost was $1.29
Thanks in advance for your help.
Rita Taylor

Hello Rita,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue with your purchased song.
To be able to download the song to your iPhone again, you will need to delete the grayed out version of the song from your iPhone first. 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):
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
Next, you can download "Take Me to the King" again from your list or purchased songs on the iPhone. 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.
You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT1386 how can i get all of my music transferred to my iphone? only itunes purchased songs will transfer, not my whole library.

How can i transfer my itunes music library to my iphone? currently it will only transfer itunes purchased songs and not my whole library.

For non-purchased music like CD rip music, or website downloaded songs, you need some third party software to copy the music from iPod to mac. If you need details, here is a guide about how to get music from iPod to macbook. Hope it helps.

How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

Hi Dr. Ron,
By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
Cheers,

Can't burn itunes purchased songs onto a cd

I created a playlist consisting of previously downloaded songs (not purchased from itunes) and itunes purchased songs. When I attempted to burn a cd of the playlist, only the previously downloaded non itunes were burned into the cd. During the burning process the meter at the top of the page indicated that the itune purchases were being read, but when I played the cd on my car cd, and later on a friends cd, the itunes purchased songs weren't there. When I play the burned cd on my computer all the songs are included. I've tried slowing down the recording speed, trying both audio and data cd options with the same results. I am using cd-r cd's. Can anyone help?

Problem syncing non itunes purchased songs to itunes from ipad

How can I get music from my ipad NOT purchased in the itunes store to sync to my computer? iTunes won't allow non iTunes purchased mp3s to transfer.

You can only copy iTunes purchased songs back from your iPad (or other iOS device). If the songs are not already on your computer, and you havn't got a backup of your content on, for exampe, external drives or CDs/DVDs that you can copy onot your computer, then you will need to do a search on the internet to see if there are any third-party programs that can copy them back.

Why can I not use my itunes purchased songs in idvd/imovie?

Upto about two months ago I had no problem adding itunes purchased songs in my idvd / imovie projects - now I cannot. A warning message comes up about needing to authorise the computer and although I am using the same mac as I did when purchasing the tracks I still go through the process of authorisation - the tracks are still not available.
I have just purchased an xbox 360 and when connecting my ipod my purchased songs are once again unavailble to play even though I can play them using my ipod in the normal way.
Any ideas would be very welcome, thanks!!

You're allowed play the music on up to 5 devices. Each device must be authorised. Unless you can connect the xbox to the apple store to be authorised, you will not be able to play the music on it.

Can't use itunes purchased songs in iDVD

I'm trying to use a song I purchased on itunes as music for the menu of an iDVD project I'm working on, but all I get is the following message: This computer is not authorized to play "01 Americal Girl.m4p".
I was able to do this just fine until yesterday when I had to update itunes for my new ipod nano. Now I can't use ANY itunes purchased songs in iDVD or imovie.
Please help me solve this!!

hi Eric:
Burn the song to an audio CD and try importing from that.

How to import iTunes purchased song into video with "Muvee autoProducer"?

Using an iTunes purchased song and also "Muvee autoProducer" for the first time and can't use my iTunes purchased song to import into my video. Following the instructions the song doesn't come up as a MUSICFILE, but it is found by selecting ALLFILES. It is an Audio file (protected). For some reason the Windows Media player symbol appears as the program to open file. I select to add it to my video and an error occurs:
"The format of the music file that you have selected is not supported."
5(80040265).
Have I done something wrong ? Can I change the file format in some way to use ?
Solution is greatly appreciated THANKS!

I think I have figured it out. I found Popcorn 3 and Crunch by Roxio which will do the job!
Thanks everyone!

Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

because you have loaded over 25,000 songs to the icloud library. to find out exactly what is in icloud from itunes match follow these directions to create a blank itunes library and load only the itunes match songs from icloud.
1. You will need to know the location of your iTunes library for later, the default is under music under your username. If its not there find it and remember where it is for later.
2. Then you have to exit iTunes and create a new empty library. To do this hold the option key when you open iTunes. Choose create Library on the pop up dialogue. Create the library anywhere on your system, you can delete the entire library once you have completed your iCloud changes.
3. When the library opens in iTunes it will be empty. Click on iTunes Match and click the start button. after it finishes all of the songs on your iCloud match account will be listed under music.
if you want to delete some or all songs from icloud so you can re-sync itunes match to show the songs in your current library fowwow this.
4. you can select up to 1000 at a time and delete them.
5. when you have deleted what you want, close iTunes and open again holding the option key and navigate to your original library, usually in the music folder under your username. You should be all set and can click iTunes match again and your account will be populated with the ones in your current library.
6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.

Itunes purchased song stops half way through

I recently transfered my itunes library to a new Macbook 13 inch. It was tricky to do because my library was on an external hard drive. I did have to redownload some, but not all of my purchased content. Now many of my itunes purchased songs are clipped midway through the song when played. This is only happening to songs that I purchased in itunes. Any ideas as to how to fix this problem? Thanks!

If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (check this with iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.

ITunes purchased songs: is there any way to play them on a non apple produc

So I have an iPod. I have many songs purchased from iTunes. I have a Verizon wireless cellphone with Vcast. This plays music using Windows Media Player (WMP). Is there any way on God's gree earth to import my purchased songs into WMP so I can place them on my phone. I understand this is why the iPhone was created, but I don't have that kinda money and I like Verizon. Please help, anyone. Is there software I can buy to convert these songs. Anything please.

I was not offended. I was not trying to seem overbearing either. I was not suggesting you had any criminal intent.
You can burn iTunes purchased music to CD. It is the process of changing the format of that purchased, whether to use it on another player or to thwart the encoded DRM-protection that Apple discourages.
It is that process of converting DRM-protected music that we can not help you with here.

In iTunes 11, what is the best way to delete the iTunes purchased song from my library after I create an aiff copy?

I use my MacBook Pro as a music server. After downloading a song from the iTunes store I create an AIFF copy in my laptop's iTunes Library. I then delete the original purchased song from the library to avoid duplicates. In iTunes prior to version 11 I had no difficulties doing this. The purchased copy just went back to the cloud and awaited future download onto other devices leaving the new AIFF copy in my laptop's library. In iTunes 11 it is not as easy. The purchased version wants to stay in my library even after it is deleted. What is the best (simplest) process to delete the compressed copy completely from my laptop's library while leaving the Aiff version. However, I want the original version to be available in the cloud for download on my other devices. Quite often my efforts have resulted in hiding the song frm the cloud! Any suggestion.....?

Zice wrote:
I want higher resolution then afforded in the original download.
Then why are you converting iTunes purchases?
You cannot get higher resolution by converting the original. This goes for converting anything, not just iTunes purchases.
Creating an AIFF will simply make the file 10 time as large with zero increase in quality.
Don't really want to debate value of creating the new version.
Agreed.
You are simply wasting time and drive space converting iTunes purchases to AIFF.

Crashed Computer...Itunes purchased songs won't transfer?

I had to send in my laptop for service, in which they crash the computer. I had a library full of songs that I transferred to my Ipod shuffle. When I attempted to sync my shuffle with the newly re-downloaded Itunes, it said that I could not because it was attributed to another computer. It is this computer! The problem is that my computer was crashed. I purchased a song that will not transfer back to the computer. I don't know how to solve this and I feel that I am justified in having at least my purchased song available in the library. I should not have to repurchase it. I know that I burned the library of songs before I sent the computer in, how can I get them back onto the itunes library? Please help!

You probably still have all your songs on your Shuffle.
If this is the case, just rebuild your laptop library from there with any iPod to PC tool such as CopyTrans http://www.copytrans.net

ITunes purchased songs messing up my movies.

I used to be able to add purchased songs from my iTunes library to my iMovie HD movies. If I do this now, the sound is "strangled" and the movie "hobbles". Has iTunes changed the encoding on songs to prevent this kind of use? I enjoy enhancing my movies with added sound tracks. Please tell me the cruel truth!

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I do burn all my songs to CD's for backup. I have had a hard disk crash on me. Not pretty! Sometimes, when I am editing movies, none of those songs fit the story and I go and find a tune in iTunes. It's just annoying that one can only do one burn session per CD....I will end up with lots of CD's with one song on them:) No way around it, it seems. I will look a lot in iTunes Plus in the future. Hopefully, the selections will improve.
