I can't play my itunes songs in my iphone 5.

I recently upgraded to Iphone5 and now i can't play my music.  It all has the icloud icon next to it.

You've posted to the iTunes Match forum. Do you have/use iTunes Match? If not you should post to the Using iPhone forum. You'll get better support responses there.

  • Can't play my itunes songs on my computer

    I recently went to play songs from my itunes on my computer and every time I click on a song I get a message that the song I have selected cannot be played because the original file cannot be found.  I still have my entire Itunes on my Ipod,  but it does not seem to do any good to use touch copy to try to get the song back into itunes.    I am not sure what the problem is or what I have done to create this situation.    All the songs show up as being in my library just as always but they will not play.   Any suggestion?     Also, I want to copy my itunes collection from my computer to my new computer but I am having a difficult time accomplishing that as well.   Obviously I am not very tech savvy,  but I am not a total idiot either.    I am using windows on my computer, with windows xp on the computer that I now have Itunes on (that I can't get the songs to play from, and window 8 on my new computer.     Thanks.

    The iTunes Library files store information about your iTunes library, such as what songs are available for iTunes to use

  • When I sync iphone to itunes, why do my soundtracks not show as albums but via artist?  IE: Pulp Fiction has 16 songs by different artists.  In itunes I can pull up pulp fiction and play the 16 songs.  In iphone sync the 16 songs are seperate

    When I sync iphone to itunes, why do my soundtracks not show as albums but via artist?  IE: Pulp Fiction has 16 songs by different artists.  In itunes I can pull up pulp fiction and play the 16 songs.  In iphone sync the 16 songs are seperate and listed by Al Green, cowboy junkies etc... How to fix this so the ipod part of my iphone will show & play the soundtracks as albums... thanks.

    What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If you have chosen selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres - if Pulp Fiction is available under the Albums section to be selected as an Album to be transferred to your iPhone, is it selected?
    If so, when you select Albums via the iPod on your iPhone, the album is not available there to select?
    You can always create an iTunes playlist with these songs placing the songs in your preferred order.

  • TS1368 My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it's so stupid

    My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it has messed up my enitre music library

    Hello Carpathianna,
    No judgment here on the music you listen to, I have that song too in my library. If iTunes is telling you that the song is missing and you purchased it from the iTunes Store, then just delete it from your iTunes library and then download your song again. Check out the articles below for more information.

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Can i play my itunes library which is on my mac on another device, windows pc?

    Can i play my itunes library, which is stored om my macbook pro, on another device, asus notebook?

    I guess I misunderstood you then. If you downloaded the music to the iPad, you do not need an internet connection to play the songs. You use the Music App to play your songs.
    I don't know much about iTunes Match and if that is what you are relying on, you do have to download the songs from the internet/Apple's servers first.
    You can simply sync the music from the PC using iTunes, assuming that the music is in your iTunes library. This explains how to sync.

    If you are running iTunes 11 on the PC - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

  • Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore. When chose for secret question brth date seems wrong. Can't reach anyone!!!

    Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore and I forgot the password (5 years old??). When chose for secret question birth date seems wrong. Tried everything. I need to make a new apple-id but cannot connect the music that I bought under my old name to my new name. Can't reach anyone!!! Automatic FAQ system is of no help. What to do?

    That doesn't help me. For itunes it brings me to the express lane which doesn't help because my case is not in it. It's all standard procedure things. I understand those but my situation is different. The combination of a passport forgotten and an non-existing email adress (and birth dates that are not correct or not accepted). What I need is my password emailed to another email adress than the original one because that no longer exists.

  • I can't play my itunes music it shows !this simbol and says the file couln't be find

    i can't play my itunes music it shows me ! this sinbol and says the file couln't be find

    This happens if the files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the files, or that the drive they live on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
    If the files are nowhere to be found on your computer, but exist on a device, see  Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    While deleting & reimporting works when the media can be found the process will delete user playlists, ratings, play counts, date added information and any other metadata not stored in tags.

  • I am struggling to sync my Mac Pro iTunes songs to my iPhone 5s

    I am struggling to sync my Mac Pro iTunes songs to my iPhone 5s. Please can you help? Everytime I try to sync a message pops up "Your iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone."
    "To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store, choose Store > Authorize this computer".
    Once I have followed instructions as above, this is what I see, "This computer is already authorised". Including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your 5 available."
    Please can you help?!?!
    Thanks.
    Best regards.

    Hello, Meloni. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The most common cause for this issue would be media present in your library that is purchased with another Apple ID.  The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

  • How can I access my iTunes account from my iPhone.

    1- I can't access my iTunes account from my iPhone.
    Do I have to sync them or can I download the songs I bought without connecting with my macbook?
    Last time i connected the two, all my music got deleted. Must have done something wrong, but have no idea how to prevent that from happening again.
    2- My "preferences" panel in iTunes, only shows apps and books, not music- Why?
    3- I can't save any music on iClod.

    hello. 
    i followed your link on how to delete content from all things Apple, and nothing removes books, movies, music... it just gives said device(s) the iCloud/download icon on top of the book, movie...  not sure what the 'hide' purchase actually does - after X'ing/hide, everything STILL appears across all devices using that account.  could you clarify this any further?
    if i am understanding iTunes correctly, then EVERYTHING we download (free or purchased) will be FOREVER accessible with zero way for us to control what is filling up this mysterious vault called the cloud?  (creepy- apple is keeping EVERYTHING, what happens when the cloud gets full?)
    since we have iCloud.com and it shows our "stuff" that we iCloud sync from our devices such as notes, contacts, calendar... then why doesn't apple provide an iCloud.com tab that shows ALL of our purchases so we as CONSUMERS control/delete what is in our account? 
    we download ALOT of apps to try and then delete them off our devices.  that works fine, but movies and books are always there.  maybe a glitch?
