I can't play my purchased iTunes on my iPad?

I live in China. My home Mac is in the USA. I've purchased many iTunes in the last year. My problem started when I loaded iTunes on my PC that I have in China so I can home share with my Apple TV. I also purchased iCloud. I uploaded all my songs from my ipad to the cloud and then downloaded to my PC. Now I can no longer play music on my ipad. I can see the but it scrolls to the next available song. But now I don't have very many left. I thought maybe it was because of songs on too many devices (iMac in USA, iPad in China, and PC in China). I deleted the downloads on my PC because I really want them on the Ipad. Don't know what to do. I'm hesitant to make any more purchases on iTunes.

To expand on what Templeton says (because I had the same problem and the solution wasn't terribly intuitive for me) make sure that on your iPad you're signed into the iTunes store with your iTunes ID, NOT your MobileMe/iCloud/Apple ID.
In addition to accessing this sign in in Settings, you can also sign in at the bottom of the iTunes store page.
In a better world, I wouldn't have two IDs, one for Apple and iCloud and one for iTunes, but alas, that is not this world.

Can I play my purchased iTunes TV shows on my Sony TV?

You need an AppleTV connected to the TV via HDMI to do so unless you want to connect a Mac/PC running itunes, iPhone or iPad to the TV.

IPod keeps scrolling thru "purchased" list; can't play ANY purchased iTunes

I run into this problem every time I purchase iTunes. I go to play a song from the "purchased" folder and my iPod just scrolls through the whole list and will not play any songs. I have to update my iPod to straighten the problem out. Then if I recharge it the problem starts up again. HELP, THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!

HT201272 How can i recover my purchased itunes movies on ipad?

I have deleted purchased movies from my ipad. How can ik recover these movies?

If you are in a country where films can be re-downloaded and they aren't from studios that don't allow it and the films are still in the store then they should appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app. If they don't then have you got copies of them on your computer and/or on a backup that you could resync to the iPad ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (assuming that they are still in the store) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Playing previously purchased iTunes movies on iPad?

Hi, I have previously purchased movies on iTunes using my iMac. I have synced them to my new iPad. I can play the music I synced by pressing "iPod", and the tv shows by pressing "videos". I just can't find where the movies have synced to? My imac assures me they're synced. How do I play them? Do I need to download another app?
Thanks!!!!!

Thankyou all! I had done all of that but I hadn't restarted both iMac and iPad. I restarted and it came up as not having sync movies checked. Don't know why but this time the sync worked. I feel like such a moron. Restarting is such a pc fix that I've got out of the habit!

As long as you use the same account again all purchases can be used on other devices as well

I have backed up my lap top including itunes to an external hard drive, everything is on the external device, but I can't play my purchased movies from it?

I have backed up my lap top including itunes to an external hard drive, everything is on the external device, but I can't play my purchased movies from it?

Why can't the media be played? Any errors?
Was it actually backed up to the External drive or moved to the external drive? Sounds more like the latter which could potentially cause issues depend on how it was moved.

HT1420 My songs that I purchased on my itunes account from my dad's computer will not play on my new computer, I have access to my entire account but can only play songs purchased using my new computer. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Kevin,
Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
If not, sign on to iTunes.
Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
Cheers,

Help! I just got a new MacBook and I cannot figure out how to authorize it to play my purchased iTunes music.

Hi!
I just got my new Macbook today (!!!) and I love it, but I can't figure out how to authorize this computer to play my purchased itunes music. I don't have any other computers authorized to play my purchased music, as I have de-authorized my previous computer. How do I authorize this new one? I know the FAQ section says to go to Store > Authorize computer, but I can't seem to find where this is located? I've never owned a Mac before.

Silly me... I didn't realize that the top of the screen changes as you change windows (unlike windows computers). Thank you so much for the help. I really appreciate it!

Do you get any error message?
What actually happens when you open it?
What app are you trying to play the files inside? Try iTunes.
I assume these files have DRM from the iTunes store. The Mac needs to be authorized to play them, open iTunes & select Authorize in the store menu, then sign in with the Apple ID that purchased the files.
Select the iTem in iTunes & get info on it (from the File menu) & you can see the account name that it belongs to.

I installed Zune and now I can't play from my iTunes account. Why?

I installed Zune and now I can't play from my iTunes account. Why? How do I fix this?

- Did you try here:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- If they were rentals and you have a 4G iPod, they will not transfer to your computer.

I can't play my purchased music via computer while offline cuz it's all on the cloud.

I just activated iTunes 11 on a new PC. After successfully downloading old purchases from the iTunes Store, I find I'm dependent on the Cloud -- which means I'm dependent on an internet connection. This ***** because the internet goes off and on constantly and my music stops and starts along with it.
How can I play my purchased music offline?

Sorry I can't help but I have potentially a similar problem.
We have an Apple TV 3 and after the most recent software update (potentially coincidental timing), our purchased movies & TV shows will no longer play for our US account. We can play previews but that's it. We also tried renting a new movie but that didn't work either. No error messsage, just select play, it thinks about it, then returns you to the same screen again.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
