Itunes 8 genius upgrade deauthorized some of my songs

I've jsut upgraded to itunes 8 and some songs bought under an old ID no longer used is blocking the listening of these songs. how can I tell it that my apple user ID has changed and that the old unser name is no longer valid. I didn't have this pbm under the previous versions. what the **** is going on . a troublesome bug in the system

ok I had a chat with apple itune store and you can solve the problem by remembering your old user name password, reauthorize one single song and it will reauthorize the entire library bought under that old username address. I hope this helps those who have bumped into the same bug. good luck folks.

I downloaded an album on my iTunes on my Mac but some of the songs won't play all the way through. It is almost as if it didn't download the entire songs. How can I fix this?

I downloaded the Mumfor & Sons album in my iTunes store. All the songs are there but in a handful of the songs, they cut off at the end of them. It is almost as if the last 30 seconds or so were never downloaded. I tried to check for things that were not downloaded yet and it says that everything is downloaded. I have no idea howt o get the rest of the songs to play.

If just some of the tracks on the album are doing that, that suggests those tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Itunes will no longer play some of my songs

Any info will be appreciated. I no longer can play my converted songs in itunes after last update. Everything was working fine until the update. itunes will ask where there located but after i show where there at. it still won't play them. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!! I about to throw itunes and my ipod out the window.

Sorry, it won't work. Won't even open the file.
It shows me where it is, but when I click on the file, it only gives me the "open"/"cancel" options. If I click on "open" it takes me back to my iTunes library but without the selection. Shows me the song but gives me that exclamation point and says it can't be played.

TS4124 How do I reverse DOWN LOAD ALL done in error on my iPad for my iTunes Match just setup with some 22,000 songs. There is no way I can download that onto the tiny memory of my IPad . Thank you for your help

How do I reverse DOWN LOAD ALL done in error on my iPad with my newly set of ITUNES MATCH that has some 22,000 tunes. I have not found away of stopping it; every time I play a song it automatically downloads onto my iPad. Help!

Thank you so much for the response. This half sorts out my issue, as turning off Musicmatch means I can load music onto my iPad, but the minute I turn it back on to access my library whilst travelling I will lose what I have loaded as it comes up saying " all music will be erased".
I really apprecaite your time, so will just have to live with what I load. Seems weird that Apple wouldn't consider people want to listen to music on planes or in Non - wifi zones??
Thanks again!

Itunes match having issues playing some of my songs

I recently got itunes match over winter break and it's been working pretty well. Although I do have some issues with playback. I noticed some songs just get skiped over. I have deleted them off icloud and my itunes and resynced them back on but icloud still manages to skip over them. Can anyone else tell me how I can get icloud to play the songs.

If it happens again, do NOT delete the songs from your library. Rather, highlight and choose "Convert ID3 tags..." Pick a likely value, such as v2.3, and after the conversion, try to play them.
iTunes tends to be finicky/strict/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about the ID3 tags in MP3 files, and a conversion is often enough to fix the problem.
If the song is no longer in your library, you can resort to a 3rd party tag fixing program.

Hey after i did the upgrade why some of the songs dont play

i did the i0s5 and now some apps crash and half of my songs dont play??? i need help

Delete the incomplete tracks from your library, sending them to recycle bin, then download them again from your purchased history. If the problem persists use the "report a problem" links from your account history to contact the iTunes store support staff.
Are the incomplete tracks ones that you had previewed before purchasing the album? If so there may be a bug that needs reporting. See this recent post which explains why I ask the question...

ITunes plays music, iPod loses some parts of song

I imported a Beatles CD into my iTunes folder and it plays exactly like the CD. Then when I transferred the music into my iPod, I noticed that certain parts (guitar chords, etc.) were missing from the songs.
Can anyone explain what's wrong? I appreciate any help!

Perhaps try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

I tried to download some music from my sister's iTunes, the album downloaded but some of the songs are grey so I can't play them. Help me!!!!

I need help with this, I called Apple care but the literature she emailed me didn't help my problem.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete the songs and resync or redownload
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I purchased an album on iTunes. During the download, my computer restarted after a virus scan. When I got back on iTunes to retrieve the download, some of the songs were missing. So, now I have all but two songs on an album that I have already payed for.

Any suggestions? Other than just buying the last few songs, which I'd like to avoid. The whole getting charged twice for the same item is not ideal.

Some of my songs from iTunes are AAC (m4a not protected) and some are AAC (m4p Protected). Why is this???

Some of my songs from iTunes are AAC (m4a not protected) and some are AAC (m4p Protected). Why is this???
Any insights would be much appreciated.

Because you purchased some of the songs when they were sold as DRM ( protected ) - pre itunes plus, and you bought some of the songs when they were sold as non-drm - itunes plus.
You can check quick links in the itunes store to see if you have itunes plus upgrades available for purchases.

When copying a CD, some of the songs are copied as separate albums. How do I get them all into one album?

When copying some cd's into itunes folder on my computer, some of the songs are copied as separate albums. Please could someone advise how I bring the songs together as one album?

Hello - thx for reply.
However, the Steve Maguire article is from 2010. Has Apple a simple solution now eg some way of dragging individual songs to one album cover? I'm not very I.T. literate

After upgrading to iTunes Match Genius Icon Gone on iPhone

After upgrading to iTunes Match Genius Icon Gone on iPhone
So I upgrade and uploaded/matched all my songs to iTunes Match. Everything seems to be fine, except I noticed I don't have the genius functionality on my iPhone. Basically the little atom icon is missing. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.
Thanks
Chike

This is what works for me.
I do this once: I keep quite a bit of music loaded on my iPhone using the normal sync process with my Mac (via USB cable) prior to turning on iTunes Match (...let's me listen to at least some music even when disconnected from the net, like when on a plane). And then I turn iTunes Match back on (and leave it turned on) and it gives me access to the rest of my music library from iCloud when I have network access (3G or Wifi) for normal listening using my whole library over Match.
I start playing a song on my iPhone (one that doesn't have the iCloud icon)
I click the home button (physical button on iPhone that closes the Music app)
I then double click the home button (opens the task manager at the bottom)
Quit Music (press/hold on the Music icon in the tray until the little red circle with an x appears to quit the app)
Then restart Music (tap the Music icon on my iPhone home screeen)
When the Music app restarts, it opens to the last song playing. if it was one of the songs downloded to my iPhone, it has the litlle atomic symbol again and I can create a genius playlist from it.
FYI: you can enable/disable iTunes Match on the iPhone without affecting songs loaded on your iPhone (even though it says it'll replace your iPhone library, the songs are still there if you enable/disable again). Settings>>>Music>>>iTunes Match on/off.

Since I upgraded to Itunes 9 Genius not working for Nirvana

Ever since I upgraded to itunes 9 I haven't been able to use genius for any nirvana music and no nirvana music is being integrated into genius playlists/mixes. Before I upgraded all of my nirvana albums worked fine anyone know what could be causing this? I don't think it would be my song info but I double checked them all and that was fine. I also tried removing and readding them to my library which didn't help. I also tried turning off genius and deleting the itunes library genius.itdb in my itunes folder which didn't help either.
If anyone knows what could be causing this let me know thanks.

How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

Last night, when I played my playlist songs with iTunes Genius, my iTunes, with one of my playlists selected, and set on "Shuffle On," "Genius Shuffle On, "Genius On," "Match On," and "Play," played selections from all of my songs in my playlist. Today, my iTunes Genius went back to the same problem it was giving me before last night. My iTunes Genius has been playing selections from just a few of my playlist albums. How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

No backup is a huge mistake.
