HT203433 I cant play that song. What is preventing this?

In my I tunes library on my PC I cant play the songs with a light greg cloud next to them. Alsothe entire line is light greg. What is preventing this?

You need to authorize the computer with that specific Apple ID. If that account's inaccessible, delete the song and then purchase it from your current Apple ID, or click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • What's the " ! " icon before the song title? i'm unable to play that song.

    what's the "!" icon before the song title? I'm unable to play that song. Yet, when I try to buy the song again, a box appears and tells me "you have already purchased this song". If there is a record of my buying the song, why can i not play it?

    The exclamation point means that iTunes can't find the track file in the place where iTunes believes the file to be located. Confirm that the track file hasn't been moved or renamed from its original location (you can see the location where iTunes is looking by doing a Get Info on the track in iTunes).
    Regards.

  • This is ridiculous.  Cant play purchased songs.

    OK...I know that I am not the only one having this problem as it is all over the place.  Why will Apple not provide any support on this?
    Windows XP, purchased album from Itunes, cant play 2 songs off the album.  I get the "this computer is not authorized to play...."  I enter my Apple ID and password and it says "this computer is already authorized"
    I have done every single step listed here :

    And still nothing..
    I can play every song on the album but 2.
    This is extremely frustrating!  Funny thing is...I can play the songs using other players..

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store, then.
    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 entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode,

    If necessary:

    and

    - 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 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.

  • My ipod having problem in putting up songs. and i cant sync the songs. what will i do?

    my ipod having problem in putting up songs. and i cant sync the songs. what will i do?

    back up the device in icloud and restore it back to factory settings after doing so setup as new and see if the issue is still there. If it's not merge your icloud info back into your device by just loging in with your apple id after the the setup is complete.

    make sure the itouch does not have your apple id in the Settings>icloud menu. It is completely different from the App Store.

  • Cant play/add songs

    Up until a couple days ago iTunes was working fine, but then it started acting up.
    Only a small amount of the songs would play, when I clicked play on the others nothing would happen. So I deleted my music library and tried importing the songs again. iTunes only added the songs that played before, it refuses to add the others. No errors come up or anything of the sort.

    Yes I have tried the Apple suggestions to no avail.  I appreciate your replies and Im still trying to work it out.  If I deactivate and then re activate would that do it you think??  Im no computer wizz and dont want to stuff it up so I cant play anything lol

  • Transferred Itunes to New Computer but Now cant play any songs?

    Can anybody help? I transfered my itunes library using the ipod as a hard drive to my new computer. Great! Everything is there, playlists still the same etc! Just when I thought "wow that was easy" I tried to play a song from new computer and it came up with a message about how the original file/format is not on that computer so it couldnt play it? Im not sure what to do now?
    If you do what itunes suggest and download your entire library to CD etc this will take forever not to mention the amount of CDs! I think this is a stupid suggestion as well because you might as well go through all your actual CDS and just upload them again to your new computer. Surely there must be a cable or something I could use?

    I followed the instructions on how to move your library to a new computer.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    I followed the instuctions which said to locate my itunes folder and the drag the folder from my docs over to my ipod which was shown in my computer/external devices. This took some time.
    I then downloaded itunes onto my new computer and plugged the ipod into my new computer. I dragged the itunes library file from the ipod (which was a large file so definately the one that had all the songs it) It took about 20/30 minutes to transfer all the songs from the ipod onto the itunes library on my new computer. Everything looked fine and then I tried to click on a song and it told me "The song could not be be used because the orignal file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Having said yes to locating the file it brings up my folder options... I select the itunes library once again because this is where it would be located but then nothing happens?

  • I tried to play a song. But it says I need to authorize my computer with a very old apple id I dont use anymore and I cant play the song. How do I fix this?

  • I have transferred my music to new computer but music is not showing in iTunes - although is on the computer as if I select a song from the folder it will play that song via iTunes. How can I get my music to show?

    I have transferred my music to a new computer following the instructions carefully but for whatever reason the music does not show on iTunes on the new computer. The music is there as I can access it via My Computer and if I select a song it will show in iTunes and play - however I can not do this for every single track! Can anyone suggest something I have done wrong????

    Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

  • When going to my hometown paper's site I get a dropdown banner that says Firefox has prevented this site from reloading ,but when I click on the allow button you have on the banner nothing happens so why is the button there?

    When I go to the local paper's from Elmira,NY and some other sites I get a drop down banner at the top of the page that tell me Firefox has prevented this page from reloading,but when I go to the allow button that you put on the right side of the banner and click on it the banner goes away and then it comes right back. It will come back every time you click allow until I click on the x box. So I want to know why is the allow button there if it does nothing?

    Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the General tab, remove the checkmark from "'''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''".
    You won't get that dropdown banner anymore afterwards.
