I am having trouble playing some of my songs.

Question

Hello there.
I have been using an iPhone and a Mac since forever, and this is the first time I have encountered such a problem.
One of the songs that I bought from iTunes (and one that I would like to listen once in every five minutes) cannot be played from both my computer (a MacBook Pro Retina Display), and my phone (iPhone 5).
While I suspect that the problem might be occuring because of the Explicit tag on the song, I have no trouble playing other songs of such rating from my devices.
When I try to play the song on my Mac, iTunes keep asking me for authorization over and over despite the computer is one of my authorized ones, and when I tap the 'play' button on iPhone, the phone switches madly from 'play' sign to 'stop' sign and continues to do so until I tap the sign again.
I am over the legal age, I have my restrictions set off, and I have absolutely no idea why this might be happenning.
Thank you for reading.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
