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?

Can't play itunes purchased music after back-up restore

I recently had to restore my home folder from a back-up, because my drive failed. I authorised the computer without problem, but when I try to play the purchased music nothing happens and I mean nothing. No error message, no spinning wheel. Just nothing. When I play it through a play list it just skips to the next song. Same thing on my iPod. Now I should mention, cause I think it's important, that this is happenining with only 1 of my purchased songs. The rest are working. Normally I would just replace the defective file. Obviously this wouldn't work in this case.
So how do I go about fixing this problem or getting the file replaced?
Thanks,

Please help... I am having the same problem. I purchased 250 songs on iTunes and now can not play at least half the songs because my computer (the same one I downloaded the songs to and the only one I have owned) is not authorized. When I try to authorize the songs - nohing happens. Additionally, some other person with a similiar email account name had downloaded iTunes on to his computer, but my credit card was charged for his songs. Fortunately, he called me and reimbursed me for the songs (very nice guy).
Does iTunes have a support person we can talk to? If not this is crazy. It is tough to be a loyal customer with things like this happening. I would appreciate any thoughts on how I can remedy this situation. Thanks in advance.

Can't play my purchased music from windows media player

I can't transfer the music I purchased through my windows media player. Does anyone know how to transfer my complete audio file and not just those I burned from my CD. The one i purcahsed through MSN music wont come over to itune. Help.

Music that's purchased through the iTunes music store is encrypted in protected aac format that runs only in itunes. If you want it to play in media player, burn the tracks onto a cd from itunes then re-rip the tracks into media player. The MSN song probably does the same thing as the itunes song, so just do the same thing for that also.

Help can't play my purchased music

My system crashed last week so I puchased a new computer and installed itunes but it is not displaying my purchased software. My account on Itunes shows that I purchased the songs why don't they show up in my itunes

My account on Itunes shows that I purchased the songs why don't they show up in my itunes
Because they weren't put on the new computer. This is done separately by restoring them from a backup, copying them from the old computer, using the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes if they're on an iPod or similar Apple device, or redownloading them from iTunes.

Can't authorize computer to play already purchased music in thailand

Help!
I recently came to thailand with a fresh panther install on my pismo notebook. I guess since it's a fresh hard drive, iTunes won't let me play my purchased music without authorization. Here's the catch, when I try to authorize, the iTunes store reports that it's 'busy' and to check my network. I am on an active network and can even log in to my account sort of - it won't quite let me in but knows that my Led Zeppelin pre-order is ready for download to which I click 'not now' and essentially I am nowhere. No apple support email here I guess or I can't find it. Any clues? I am not at 5 authorizations yet.

I think you just need to figure out the tricks to getting the album you want up in iTunes. It is very easy actually.
First, if you turn on View Browser (you can't be in the cover flow view to see the browser) you get three windows at the top of your library: Genre, Artist, Album. When you pick anything from any of those windows, it immediately narrows down the library view to things that meet that choice (e.g. if you pick U2 then the library will only show tracks with Artist = U2.
In addition, those three boxes will narrow down to only show what fits with whatever you type in the search field. Meaning, normally if you have thousands of songs and hundreds of artists, scrolling through the little artist box to find that one artist or the album box to find that one album is kind of tedious. But say you want to listen to The Clash's "London Calling". In the search box you can just type in Clash or London (or both) and the three Browser boxes (and your library view) will quickly narrow down to only tracks where Clash and London appear. Likely the Album window will now only show a few choices. Click the "London Calling" one and your library now only shows that album. Now you can play just that album. Of course it sounds like more when you type it all out, but to open iTunes, type "Clash London" then click on the London Calling album takes all of about three seconds, likely quicker than it is to dig through folders in your hard drive.
Sorry, but I don't have any answers for your Windows association problem with trying to load more than 10 tracks, but I think you may find the above method to be much easier to navigate.

Lost my Iphone and labtop with Windows 7. Got new Iphone and PC, but can only find old purchased music in Purchase History via Itunes on pc, but not get it sync to new Iphone.

Got new Iphone and labtop with Windows 7.
Now can only find the old purchased music via old phone in Purchase History.
How can I get the purchased files into Music list in Itunes, in order to sync with new Iphone ?

Go to the iTunes app on your iPhone. On the bottom tap Purchased. Once that loads, choose the Artist you just downloaded, then the album, then click the cloud icon. This will download the music to your iPhone and will not charge you for it.

Why can't I purchase music via iTunes with credit available

I have £17 available to spend from iTunes voucher. I have purchased music and other apps, I also have sufficient gb for the song I want to purchase. The song costs 79pence, but I am unable to select the purchase button. Any ideas how this can be resolved?

Thank you for any assistance.

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

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.

After having to get a new computer, I tunes repeatedly asks to authorize the computer to play/sync purchased music. However, ITunes is saying that the computer is already authorized. What do I do?

You can transfer all the iTunes purchased music from the iPod Touch to your new computer.
From iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default. If you have an AOL account, select AOL.
Enter your Apple ID or AOL account and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following may appear:
If this alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?
