HT1933 iTunes downloaded song will NOT play

Why can I view the song on the playlist (on both iPod and Powerbook) and yet the song will not play on either? It is NOT listed as having been interrupted as a download and the rest of the album plays without incident.

Sounds like a faulty file. Delete it and redownload a fresh one at no extra cost
Goto iTunes Store
Select Purchased from under Quick Links to the right
Navigat to the music you want and click on the cloud button to re download.
If it came from a cd then reimport it.
If it came from another source then they will give you instructions on how to redownload if you can

  • 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.

  • HT204406 iTunes match songs will not play on any device.. please help me..

    Hey,
    just got iTunes match, set it up to the best of my knowledge.
    -Bought it
    -Matched and uploaded all of my music
    -the 'iTunes match' tab isn't under 'Store' anymore
    -music icons show up on iPhone 4 and New iPad
    The thing is, when I select a song the song opens, album art and all stays on 0:00 then closes again as if it has finished playing.
    I tried deleting a song in itunes then download it from iCloud but an error occurs. I deleted completely then added it to the library to see if i could get it to work.. Not working.
    Music from iCloud will not play on any of my Apple things including iTunes.. Can someone from Apple or a smart person from the community please help me out.
    If someone works at the Apple store in 'Chermside, Brisbane Australia' and wants to meet me to see if they can help that way I can do that too..
    Thank you!

    Same here...

  • Just upgraded to new iTunes, downloaded shows, will not play.

    I just upgraded to the newest itunes last night, and today I downloaded three episodes of Lost.
    They will not play. It says time is elapsing, but there is no sound or video, just a gray screen.
    Does anyone have any idea why?

    Try the following: download  BatChmod and run on the iDVD project package with the settings shown in the screenshot below:
    Click to view full size
    If your files use a different Group you can use it.  Then launch iDVD and see if you can open the project file.

  • Downloaded song will not play, says computer not authorized. When I re-enter my information it says computer already authorized.

    My computer is the authorized computer, and when I go to play a song i just purchased it says computer not authorized. It prompts me to login, I o and it still dont work. I am only having trouble with one song from the album.

    I fixed the same issue  here with a short walk through!
    I had this problem before with a track from Kendrick Lamar's album "good kid, m.A.A.d city"
    Enjoy!

  • I attempted to download a song. It originally did not download correctly. I refreshed the download and it supposedly completed. Upon playing the song in both my library and on the Itunes store it will not play past the first 5 seconds. How can I fix this?

    Hello Whitney262,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I would go ahead and make sure you can first download the content, then remove the song from your iTunes Library, and download again from your iTunes past purchases.  The article below will walk you through the entire process:

  • I downloaded a song to my itunes and it will not play.  How do I get it to work?

    I downloaded a song off of itunes and it will not play but indicates that it is downloaded.  Any thoughts on how to get it to work?

    Hi randybratton,
    If a specific song that was purchased on your iPhone won't transfer to iTunes on your computer, you may want to try redownloading it directly to your computer from the iTunes Store. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?

    Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?

    The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Downloaded iTunes song will not play

    iTunes version 7.1.1.5
    Yesterday I purchased a song from iTunes. It will not play at all.
    I only have the one account and have not authorized any additional computers. It shows up in the library but when I double click the song it does nothing. If I play the preceding song iTunes skips the new song and places the one after. All artwork and everything appears to have been downloaded properly.
    Additionally, I downloaded a nother song earlier yesterday and I have no problems with it.
    Thank you for your help.

    Thanks for this post. It corrected my similar issue. Note that you need to exit from/re-enter iTunes after deleting the song from your Purchased list.

  • Certain songs will not play on iPhone and also not in my iTunes library

    My problem is that songs will not play on my iPhone that I have purchased and appear like this...
    These songs also do not appear in my iTunes library and when I look at the album (or other songs with this problem) in the iTunes Store it appeaers like this...
    As you can see it says "purchased" where it would usually say "play"
    It'd be great if someone could help as I am completely baffled.
    Thanks.

    In settings on your phone:   iTunes and App store - is "show all music" off?   Is automatic downloads off?
    Do you share the computer with other Apple users?   Is it currently associated with another Apple ID?
    The work around is open iTunes purchases on your phone and download directly to your phone that way.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Upgraded to win7 from xp. Now some songs will not play without signing into an old Itunes id account.

    Installed Windows 7 from XP. Downloaded itunes and imported the music library.
    Now some songs will not play until I authorize this computer by signing  in using an old apple id. Now when I do that the message says too many devices on that id.
    Is there a way to convert those songs to my current Apple id? Or is there a way to download them again under the new id?

    Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
    If you desire the conent on your current Apple ID, purchase it with the current Apple ID.
    For future reference, do not create a new Apple ID simply because of a change of email address.  Instead, update the Apple ID with the new email address.
