I can't play a song in iTunes even when I authorized the computer (i have only 1 authorized)

I have my iMac authorized to play all my iTunes purchase, but there's one song that I can't play. It keeps asking me for authorization and when I submit my ID and Password, it goes to the next song (I can´t play it neither in my iPad or iPhone).
Greetings and thank you very much

I am unable to play certain songs since itunes wants me to authorize the computer with an old email address I had when I first bought the songs. I don't remember that password and when I use my present Apple id and password it doesn't authorize the computer to play those songs. How do I get these songs authorized since there are a lot of them?

Purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.

Of course. Did you think Microsoft just gives it away?

I can not update my version of itunes. When I install the message "Could not open key UNKNOW \ Instaler \ Products \ E84E5F4E55179FC488DCF773E79CCA45 \ SourceList \ Media. Make sure you have sufficient access to that key or contact the support team." Any tips on how to solve this problem?

If doesn't work try use the instructions below BUT in BOTH folders, first in SourceList and after in the Media.
Start>Run put regedit and press Ok.
1. Go to the key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\9B00314CD581E574FBCE93FE37F2911B\SourceLis t\Media
2. Right click in Media folder, select Permissions from the menu.
3. You will see that is no user, on the "Permissions for..." dialog box which appears next, press the "Add.." button and add in the "All"
4. Back on the first "Permissions for..." dialog box, click on each account in the top-list and make sure each has the "Full Control = Allow" and "Read = Allow" permissions
5. Click the "Advanced" button and the "Advanced Security Settings" dialog box appears
6. On the "Permissions tab" enable the checkmark box named "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object", then press the "Apply" button
7. On the "Owner" tab, highlight the "Administrators" name in the lower listbox, enable the checkmark box called "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" and press the "Apply Button"

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

TS3212 Somehow I am unable to play my songs in itunes. When i go to play a song I get a message informing me that the file can not be located. How do I fix this. I have had no problems in the past.

Can someone tell me how to fix a problem I have with itunes. I keep getting a message when I try and play a song on itunes that tells me I cant play the song because it cant find the file. I have never had this problem before. How do I fix it, Please.

Have you moved, renamed or deleted the original files?
Has another programme on your computer moved, renamed or deleted the files?
Have you just created this iTunes Library?
Have you recently added the missing music music from an external hard drive?
If it's none of the above, what have you been doing recently? For example, have you been "sorting" your files in your file manager?

I emptied trash with itunes in it accidentally and now can't play any songs on itunes what can i do?

so i needed to clear disk space so i could use imovie more, so i put a load of stuff in trash and emptied it, but somehow i stupidly put itunes there too, so now when on itunes i can't play any songs because it keeps asking me to "Locate" it, which i can't do because it doesn't exist anymore arrrggh! i can't use any of my songs on imovie either, it's very frustrating. If there is any way at all that i could recover the songs so i could play them on itunes then that would be great-
thanks,
Hamish

Hi,
If you don't have a back up, you have lost your music.
If you have iTunes Store purchases, you can go into iTunes Store and redownload previous purchases.

Unable to access song list in ipod when connected to the computer.

My daughter loaned her ipod to a friend who tried to download some music to her ipod. A box opened asking if she wanted to delete all her songs from her ipod and she was given yes, no, and cancel. She pushed cancel and got out.
My daughters ipod has not worked correctly since.
When connected to the computer and logged into iTunes she can see all the songs in her ipod but they are light in color and she can not play or pick songs from the list. She can't delete anything from her list in the ipod. She can play her music from the computer list just fine.
What has happened and can we somehow get her ipod back to working correctly?

Hello jhfields,
So, you are saying that you are unable to pick and choose songs from the Music list for the iPod while it is plugged into iTunes?
If the songs are grayed out, it is probably because the iPod is set up to automatically sync. In order to play music from the iPod through iTunes, you have to enable the "manually manage music and videos" option from under the iPod's Summary tab.
Does that do the trick for you?

I can't play a song thru Itunes on my laptop... How do I get it to Play? It use to work just fine. I can play videos..

I have WIndows 8. My computer is authorized. I try to play songs using Itunes on it and I cannot. I can play / watch / Hear videos. But CANNOT hear the songs / they just don't do anything
Help

Make sure that iTunes isn't set to play to an Airplay device (located by the volume), also check to see if the sound properties for the computer (click the little speaker button and click "Mixer", and make sure iTunes is turned all the way up.
Hope this helps!

Can't play ipod song in itunes

I can see, but not play, any of the CD-originated songs that are in my ipod from the itunes client.
I got a new laptop for Christmas (Toshiba with newest ITunes client 7.5)
I have a one year old ipod nano with songs in two categories:
1. purchased off of itunes.
2. ripped out of CDs.
I authorized the new computer to play itunes purchases, but I can't play the songs that are in my ipod that originated on a CD.

*I am unable to copy/move these songs into the music library of itunes (i.e. given a song is in the ipod (originally ripped off a CD source), I cannot get that song into the music library of itunes.*
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

I can't play one song from iTunes album, always asks me to reauthorize

For some reason my iTunes asked me to reauthorize and I remembered my account and password, but I still can't play one Tom Waits song. I bought the whole album on iTunes but one song I click on it to play and it asks me to reauthrize I do and it won't play. I can reauthorize a half dozen times and it won't play, it'll play the other songs on the album but not this one.
Any ideas?

Delete the song and redownload.

Can't play certian songs with iTunes

I am making the switch to iTunes from Windows Media. I have imported my music folder into iTunes but there are several songs that have an "!" mark to the left of the Title. When I click on the song to play, I get the message that "The song "Title" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?". I click "Locate" and point iTunes to the file, the "!" will go away but when I click on the song nothing happens. The window on the top of the iTunes page will show the title and the length of the track but it won't play. When I right click the song and click "Show in windows explorer" it will show the folder the song is in and I can play the song via Windows Media Player so I know the file works but it won't play in iTunes. Can anyone give some advice on how to solve this problem or what might be causing the problem? Thanks.

First, make sure it is a valid MP3 and plays OK in WMP.
Then, find the file in Windows. Right-click it and choose Open With > iTunes.
If the file is OK, iTunes will start playing it. If iTunes finds the file to be incompatible, it will "error silently," i.e. do nothing. In that case, try treating the file with a 3rd party tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator.

Can't play any songs from iTunes, error message "can't find"

I just got an iPod as a present (I'm behind the times) and I put songs on my iPod from some one elses computer. The problem is, now none of the songs on that persons computer will play, I get an error message saying, "the song [insert song name here] could not be used because the original file could not be found." My iTunes is fine, but my friends computer is not!!! Is there any way to fix this, I really hope i didn't just delete all their songs (I didn't even put most of them on my iPod).
Thanks for any help!

Your songs might be taking up too much room in your iPod.
Open iTunes, right-click on a song. Make sure the song is no bigger than 4 MB and it's a MPEG file.
Also, in iTunes, click "Edit" and then go down to "Preferences". Click the 'Advanced" tab and then the "Importing" tab. Make sure your songs are encoded using AAC Encoder and a high quality setting of 128 kpbs.
If your song information is different from what I just told you then this is the reason why your songs won't fit in your iPod and there's not enough room.

I can't play any songs on iTunes. It is not a sound issue. when I highlight the song I want it just never plays. The bar up at the top never moves. Any thoughts?

itunes won't play any songs........i highlight song, it looks like it is ready to play but it never moves across bar at top.....it is not a sound issue. Any thoughts?

Applications > Quicktime general media player. This will help us tell if it is an iTunes problem or something more general.
