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.
The following articles will help you.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I have lost all my music and a site showed me how to get it back but the music wont play

    My computer crashed and I lost all my music when I tryed to transfer all my music back into itunes the music wont play but it does play the new cds i have purchased from itunes
    Please help as I have over 600 albums that i want to put onto my itunes that where there before my computer crashed

    Media can be restored from the backup that should be kept of your important files.  If you do not have a backup, that is not good.
    Since you stated you recoved your music, does the music now actually exist on the computer?  Do you see it in iTunes?  What happens when you try to play it?  Details are important, otherwise a lot of time can be wasted on irrelevant troubleshooting.
    If the new music is playing, that would lead me to suspect that the old music was in fact not recovered.

    iTunes in the Cloud is a free feature that gives you access to your past purchases which you can then download to your library or stream. You can disable the display of Cloud items by going into iTunes preferences from the menus or press Control-Comma, then select the Store tab and untick Show itunes in the Cloud purchases.

    Do you even know what you're talking about? Instead of going from post to post giving wrong information and overusing your exclamation point key, do NOT answer if you have no idea about what you're talking about.
    Bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatible with all other iterations of bluetooth and has absolutely nothing to do with the problem the OP is having.
    You might also want to purchase a dictionary and read up on the difference between "firmware" and "malware".  If you continue spew incorrect information, I will report you to the moderators to have your account removed.
