I bought a song on iTunes on my iPhone -- I can play in on iTunes on my Mac, but I cannot download it and transfer it to my iPod.

I use the same Apple ID on all my devices, but I ge the following message when I try to download the song: "song cannot be downloaded because it was not purchased with your Apple ID". Then, I tried to go purchase the song again from iTunes on my MacBook, and I get a message from iTunes alerting me that I've already purchased the song. Help!!

Music>Songs>Select song>Swipe from left to right to delete.

I bought a song from iTunes on my iPad but it download properly and I can't even delete it in order to re download it

Help. As I said in the title, I bought a song and the payment went through but the song didn't download properly and I can't even delete it in order to re download it!

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Then see if you can delete the song. Try swiping across it in the downloads tab or if it did get into the music app swipe across it in the songs tab.

When attempting to play songs on itunes, getting error message that file cannot be found and asked if i want to locate it. not sure where it went. do have new computer and all files were transferred to new machine.

I just tried to play some songs that i have in itunes and i get an error message that says file can't be located. It appears to be on about half the songs of the thousands I have in there. I do have a new computer and transferred the itunes library about a month ago. I have successfully managed ipod on new computer. I wonder if it is a licensing issue but this is just the second computer althought the third hard drive these songs have been on. It is affecting songs loaded from CD's and purchased from itunes on the old computer alike.

Hi angela dfromtx,
When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. You'll have to locate the file manually if it is still available. For more information refer to the following article:

Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:
