I have songs on my computer that are located in media music folder, but they won't play in iTunes

My iTunes will not play some songs that are in the play list, then helps me locate them in the media folder for songs, but will not import those songs or play them.

  • I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

    I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

    You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

  • Why do i have songs on my iPad that are not in my iTunes?

    I have songs on my ipad that are not in my itunes music library. Why is this and how can i get them into itunes?
    Thanks,

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer ipod songs. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • HT1725 What if I download music from my friends computer with his account and there's a song that shows up in my music library but I can't play it because it didn't finish downloading. What can I do to finish downloading it ?

    You're right, it would have been covered under warranty. But because of the user damage, chances are there's a 200-something dollar fee . If you explain to them that it had a defect previously, they might replace it for you at no charge. **MIGHT**. But they would have to believe that it had a defect previously.

  • I purchased a film but it won't play because iTunes says I need to authorize the computer, but when I do that it says the computer is already authorized. Huh - some system. Any ideas?

  • HT1689 I purchased TV shows, I was billed for them, but they won't play on my Macbook because it says they are a certain HD that doesn't work - I am trying to find a way to return the shows or buy them in the right format

    I purchased TV shows, I was billed for them, but they won't play on my Macbook because it says they are a certain HD that doesn't work - I am trying to find a way to return the shows or buy them in the right format

    I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system.  The TV says "No signal.  Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection."  Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display.  But how do I do that?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the track from the Music app on your iPad and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (or via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes).
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if the re-downloaded version also doesn't works then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Some of my songs in iTunes show up but they won't play. I get the message that my computer isn't authorized to play them when I only have one computer.

    I recently did the update for iTunes and after I did that I got the error message: MSVCR80.dll file not found.  I followed the suggestions from someone in this community to fix it and now some of my songs aren't playing.  And they are the ones that I purchased from iTunes not CDs that I have and ripped to my iTunes library. I can see the songs listed in my iTunes library as well as on my iPod but yet they won't play.  On my computer I get the message that this computer is unauthorized to play them and to authorize it.  I only have one computer, so I have no idea why I'm getting this message.  And does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get all of the iTunes songs to play again?

    Hello Angel82co,
    It sounds like you have some songs in your library that are not playing, and when you try to play them you are being told the computer is not authorized to play them. I would start by verifying that your computer is still authorized, and take note of the Apple ID that you sign in with:
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
    From: iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If the issue persists, next I would use the following article to double check that these songs were purchased under the same Apple ID you used to authorize the computer:
    Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    If it is the same Apple ID then I would next delete the song, and re download it from your purchased history, with this article named:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • My list of songs and videos appear on my Ipod classic but they won't play

    all of my songs appear on my Ipod but they will not play anymore after trying to move them to a new PC. I get 0:00 when I press play but it won't progress

    If she bought them using the iTunes app on the phone they should have automatically downloaded. iTunes Match has nothing to do with iTunes-purchased content; it is only for content from other sources. Launch the iTunes Store app on her phone, tap on More, Purchased, Music. Do they show up? Do they show as downloaded?

  • I have the current version of iTunes and when I plug my device in, the library says that I have songs on my device that are not showing up on my iPod touch. How do I get these songs on my device?

    On iTunes, my library says that I have a lot of songs on my device that do not show up on my actual iPod touch. These songs disappeared from my iPod when I plugged it in, then they showed back up, but with a red square and circle, and now, after syncing and autofilling, they are gone again. How do I get these songs from my iTunes "ON MY DEVICE" library to my actual device?

  • I have a playlist of tracks that are not in my music library

    It is my understanding that all of your music resides within your Music Library and from there you can create playlists, whether Smart Playlists or just Playlists, but your playlists do not contain anything that isn't in your main Music Library.
    I have a standard playlist that contains over 400 tracks where many are not in my Music Library from various different artists, albums and genres.
    Is there a way to get the music within the playlist back into my Music Library without going in artist by artist Adding tracks?

    All Tag edits were and are done within iTunes.
    This specific Playlist was created over a year ago with an earlier version of iTunes.  I just went through the process of changing information on a few of those tracks within the Playlist I have problems with and the current version of iTunes is not copying the music files, but moving them.
    I think that this must have been a bug in whatever version of iTunes I was using last year when I first started working on my Tags.
    I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but just last month I had iTunes Convert the ID3 Tags on everything within my Music Library
    turingtest2 - I have not tried your suggestion yet, but I will let you know what happens.  Right now, I'm just trying to get rid of the duplicated tracks without Tag updates I've made.
