I can't play music bought in iTunes after iPod turn off

I need help!!!!
After I installed iTunes 7.0.1 I cannot play songs I bought, after the iPod turns off (not used for a two or three days).
I have to re-sync in order to play the songs on the iPod again.
Any clues?

Yes either the Apple TV or the AirPort Express can do that for you.

Can't play music from Universal Dock when iPod classic plugged in

According to the iPod classic manual, one can play music or video while the iPod is connected to the computer or AC power to be charged up. However, this is not working for me. Instead, it says "Connected", and won't actually let me play music unless I unplug the USB cable. I have set iTunes to NOT start automatically, otherwise it will just sync over and over again, and still never play music. I know the iPod and dock are working correctly because if I unplug the USB cable from my computer, it plays music through the dock as expected. Suggestions? Thanks.

Alas, not so easy. No matter what way I use to eject it from iTunes, once it stops with the "Ok to disconnect" bit, if it is still in the cradle (which it needs to be for playing), it toggles back to Connected, and the following dialog box from iTunes pops up, saying:
"The iPod <name of iPod> cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."
The only application using it is iTunes. I've tried exiting iTunes quickly, no joy. [Aside to discussion forum moderators: There doesn't seem to be a way to paste in a bitmap to show the dialog. Oh well.]
I just found a work-around, basically telling Windows at the OS level to remove the iPod qua USB device (usual way, right-click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon, choose the drive letter associated with the iPod), and that seems to do it. The battery icon is in the AC power state, so it's still on external power even though the OS doesn't see it. So maybe that's good enough. Although that's still something that iTunes ought to be doing, I would think.

Can't play music in Sonata 2011 after ios6

I have an iPhone 4 (not 4s) and after upgrading to ios6, I can't play music in my Hyundai Sonata. As always, I connect my phone to the Sonata using the manufacturers supplied cable. The car will begin to read it, but will eventually just stop reading and revert to whatever media was playing before or to the radio. The iPhone is left in an odd state where the Music app will just cycle through my albums until I shut the unit down and restart it. I tried using an Apple iPhone USB cable, but that generates a "Connection Error" right away. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks

Sorry to take so long to reply, but I figured out the problem. Apparently, if you select a song to play on the iPhone, and the song is not available, the Music app will cycle through your music, until it finds a song that is actually on the iPhone. I believe this is a change with iOS6. Its my wife's car and I don't drive it that often, so there was a lag between installing iOS6, clearing space on the device and actually trying to use it in the car. Now to be clear, not all of my music was missing, just most of them and while troubleshooting the problem I actually played a couple of songs on the device to make sure nothing was wrong with the iPhone. As luck would have it, I selected two of the songs that were still on the device, so I neglected to consider my space clearing. I google'd my question and after much filtering, found the answer.
Apple should fix this such that at least one of two things happen in this situation:
1) The iPhone tells you that the song is not on the device.
2) The iPhone does not list songs, playlists, artists, etc. that are not actually there.
Although both of these fall into the 'duh' category, the second one makes the most sense as I would have seen right away that my music was gone.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. It made me look deeper.

I cannot find my music bought on iTunes after update iOs 5; help me please. Thank's luce

I cannot find my music bought in iTunes before update iOs 5; con you help me please? Thank's luciana

It will only be where you put it.
If for some reason you failed to transfer it to your computer from your iphone before updating, then it is gone, unless you live in one of the countries that allows redownloads:

I can't play music purchased from iTunes on other devices

I purchased some songs via iTunes store today. I then copied them to my daughter's music player (a Mattel product) only, but they won't play. They show up on the device's folder when connected to my computer, but they don't show up or play on the device.
I know they can only be transferred to three devices, but this is the first device for these songs
Does iTunes block their songs from being played on non-Apple products?
The Mattel Product is the Kids MP3 Boombox, Model # 1636110

Not for recent purchases, but the songs may need to be converted to MP3 to work on non-Apple devices.

Can't play music or see artwork after iTunes redirect

I've just finished moving my iTunes folder from one external drive to another. I then deleted the library on the first drive, but I was not able to delete the Library.itl, Extras.itdb or Genius.itdb. I recovered them from the trash and saved them. I was running iTunes (now redirected) during the deletion. After the deletion, iTunes was still running fine until I closed and reopened it. The media, playlists and play counts are properly listed but the media wasn't located when clicked and there was no artwork. The files are all on the new drive, along with the artwork. I've succeeded in redirecting it such that SOME media now plays and SOME artwork shows, but not most. Oddly, for the albums that don't show artwork on the main icon, they do show it in the "now playing" bar at the top of the screen.
How can I redirect to all the media files and artwork properly? Nothing essential was deleted I know of. (Or presumably connecting to the media would accomplish both?) If it matters, within the iTunes folder I have iTunes Media folder, Album Artwork folder, Previous iTunes Libraries folder, Extras.itdb, Genius.itdb and Library.xml. Inside the iTunes Media folder, there's the Library itl. file. I also was prompted to reorganize the folder to maintain the "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" so I did that.
UPDATE: I think I may have worked out why certain media wasn't playing, but the artwork problem remains and is unrelated. Songs will play, the art will show in the folder as part of the metadata, will show in the top iTunes bar, but not on the main icon in the library. Any ideas about this?
Thanks for any help. Have done this before without any problems.

What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660

What do you have on the drive? The whole iTunes folder with all its subfolders and collection of library files, or just media? All your business about "redirecting" is a method for moving only media and not all the other library files which is what gives it the structure you see in the iTunes application. We need to know where exactly you are right now. I have provided those instruction hundreds if not thousands of times to people and the only time they do not work is when somebody has something non-standard with their library or confuses moving media with their "library". Just as a city library is more than a pile of books in an empty lot, an iTunes library is more than just media files.

This should fix it.

Shut the phone off.
Plug in the usb cord to the phone.
Start the car.
The phone should turn on.
Everything should work now.

Can't play music that I have bought

I dont have the same username on my mac in OS X. Which leads to problem to deauthorize my itunes account. I can’t play music that I buy, and free movies doesn’t work either. I know this is the problem, cause I have tried to reformat using my old account name in OS X, which led to no problems in iTunes. I don’t want to use my old account name (OS X).

My old username in OS X----->karasjok
My present username in OS X----->Stian
iTunes account is not the same username as in OS X, I am aware of that. Problem is that I can’t play music bought from iTunes, neither can I deauthorize my iTunes account.
But if I reformat my OS X, use my old username, all of my music bought from iTunes plays well.

ITunes won't play music anymore from iTunes Match

In February I purchased the iTunes Match service and uploaded about 2000 songs to it. Some purchased directly from iTunes over the years and some ripped from my CD collections.   After verifying that it works fine, I deleted the ~250GB of space that they took on my older MacBook Pro to make space for other things.
A couple of weeks ago I got my new MacBook Pro Retina (great!) and I've started to use iTunes on it. I've added it to my Apple ID account and "authorized" it inside iTunes and expected to continue and use it to listen to music and all.
I was able to see all my music listed clearly and also all my genious mixes but nothing happens with I try to Play anything.   No message and no complaint, simply silence.   If I purchase and download a new song, I can play it, but nothing from the cloud!
I tried to "Update iTunes Match" and still nothing happens and I can't play a thing.
I tried to "Turn Off iTunes Match" and then turned it back on. The entire list disappeared on me and after a long wait, I don't see it coming back... I'm out of the country right now and I see this small note at the bottom of the Music section of iTunes saying that "Music is available in the iTunes Store in select countries".    I'm using the US store and can certainly purchase music and movieds but the iTunes Match stopped working on me.

Well, after another restart of iTunes, my list of 2000 songs magically appeared and I can now play it.
So, this seemed to be a glitch that amended itself.

Unfortunately the Netgear DG834N router is rubbish with Macbook Pro's. I've had a few netgear routers, which were all good with my mac, which is why I bought the 'N' series one as an upgrade to the 'G' version, but basically it crashes my Mac constantly. I get the fade up grey screen forcing my to hard power off my book. everything freezes. It plain just doesn't work. wireless 'N' is still just in draft form and the difference between the Netgear and Mac version on the macbook pro just clash. Netgear haven't updated the firmware on the router since last year, so hopefully the will soon, but I've just gone back to my old 'G' version, and stuck the DG834N on ebay. I tried all the configs, with and with out security and no luck, it always disconnected, froze and crashed.

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:
