ITunes authorizes the songs but cannot play them!

I just upgraded to Vista. Many of my purchased songs work fine. But when I try to play some songs, iTunes asks to authorize it. I do this. It says the authorization was succesful. But when I try to do this again, it goes back to the authorization screen!
Please help.

Same here...but none of my songs will play that were purchased. Just upgraded to Vista today...
I've tried everything except uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes...

  • HT1473 I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my computer.  My current Itunes library is listing the songs, but cannot find them when I try to put them on to my iphone.

    I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my itunes on my computer.  My itunes music lists all of the music, but cannot find it when I try to load it to my phone.
    The songs are on my ipod, but not on my phone and I don't know how to get them from one device to the other.

    In your case, it would be better to have transferred the library to an external drive from the PC. Then, connect it to the iMac and put the library onto the Music folder.
    You used Migration Assistant, and it creates a new user with the transferred data.
    Open  > Log Out, and log in the new user. Then, open a Finder window, choose Music in the sidebar and you will see the iTunes library. Now, you have to move the iTunes library to /Users/Shared (select Go menu -in the menu bar- > Go to Folder, type that and copy the iTunes library to it). Finally, log in the other user, go to the same folder and move the library to the Music folder.
    After doing that, open System Preferences > Users and Groups, choose the user created by Migration Assistant and press the - button to remove it. This is easier if you have an external drive

    A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
    I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and  loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

  • TS2313 I have downloaded several articles but cannot play them off line. Do I have to be on line? I cannot get a play list on the iTunes app page. I have to go to the original download page.

    I have downloaded several podcasts but cannot play them off line. Do I have to be on line to listen? I cannot seem to get my list of downloads on the screen no matter what option on the lower menu choices?

    Settings > Store > Apple ID > sign out and sign in with the new Apple ID.

  • I can see other accounts on home share and play the songs, but not drag them to my account.  Home share is on "on" on both accounts and both computers are authorized.  What can I do to copy the song from account to account?

  • HT4946 I have just (successfully) updated my iphone 4 with the i0s but cannot get my apps back. They are on my itunes on the computer but cannot transfer back onto my phone, can anyone help please?

    I have just successfully updated my iphone 4 with the latest ios update but lost all my apps. I can find them on my itunes a/c but cannot get them to transfer back onto phone without downloading all again, what I am I missing?

    Is "Sync Apps" in the apps tab checked? If it is and they still won't sync, uncheck it then run a sync, then recheck it and run the sync again. If that doesn't help, on the phone itself, go to your app store, tap on updates, then go to purchased, and tap the cloud button next to them to redownload.

  • Since my software update none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes work on my iphone? It sees the songs but none play.  How do I resolve this issue?

    Hello,
    Since I updated my iphone none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes no longer works on my iphone.  It is weird, the music is on the iphone but in gray and the iphone does not recognize it.  The only songs that I could play are my songs that I downloaded on my phone that were purchased through itunes. 
    Another error: When I purchase a new song on itunes it doesn't put the song in my purchased playlist like it used too.  In order for me to play that song I just purchased I have to go back to the itunes store and play it directly from the place I purchased it from which is super annoying.
    Frankly I am really disappointed with the constant errors from upgrades that should be "Up grades" Not "down grades".  Not sure why is going on but not seems to work the same anymore.  Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my iphone music?
    Thank you,
    Dago

    You will probably lose the music.
    Why is it not on your computer?
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

    The application iExplorer may be useful in your situation. Read these links below
    I found this in another long discussion (on the ASC site) about this very same problem that you are having.

  • Sharing iTunes Library - Can see but cannot play movies

    I have a Mac with iTunes and a connected external hard drive. In my Movies library, I point to movie files on my external hard drive. I have shared my entire iTunes library including my music and movie selections under iTunes Sharing settings.
    From iTunes on my windows computer, I can see my shared library and even the list of music and movie files. I can then play the music files from my iTunes shared library, but it won't play any of the movie files. When I double click on a movie nothing happens. When I highlight a movie file in iTunes and click the play button at the top, it seems to freeze for a couple seconds, then returns to normal, not playing the movie file.
    Am I missing a file sharing setting on the Windows computer or Mac laptop?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Just another datapoint to add...I tried a few different things yesterday and I can get the following files to play:
    1. Free Downloaded video from iTunes (Horton hears a Who - Anatomy of a Scene)
    2. Digital Movie (Bolt) that requires some authorization from the iTunes store.
    The movies that won't stream from one XP box to the other XP box are all encoded using Handbrake (they work fine going to the AppleTV though.) I'm wondering if it has something to do with DRM or specific tags/metadata that needs to be included in the encode.
    Also, this is something new for me (i.e. I haven't tried sharing libraries or streaming from one iTunes instance to another prior to upgrading iTunes to 8.1) My daughter got a laptop and we wanted to keep all of our media in one shared location in the house. Hopefully this will work at some point.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • I have songs but cannot access them

    i just bot my macbook and synced my music onto it using the icloud. the songs, albums, and artists are displayed but it wont let me access the actual music. ive tried synching my iphone with it and now my phone has no music either.

    How did you sync music onto the new macbook?  Are you using itunes Match, or are you downloading previous purchases again?

  • Can see my documents on the Ipad but cannot open them

    Hi I need help. Since a few days I still have all my documents in the cloud but first they all dissapeared from my IOS devices (Iphone4 and Ipad2). After a few times deleting the Iwork apps and reinstalling they finally came back but I cannot open the documents. they have a light grey background and just dont come up properly. I tried almost everything and it is driving me crazy. also my lates numbers document I created on my Ipad didnt upload to the cloud. Did anyone else have these issues? can anyone help???
    thanks so much

    We need more info:
    What system are your running?
    How much free space do you have on your boot drive?
    In the meantime try this:
    Try to open your domain file with the script that Cyclosaurus has provided us below  that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • I am trying to play my ipod shuffle 1st gen in itunes but it will not play. My windows 7 computer recognizes the ipod and I can easily select the songs on my ipod playlist in itunes but cannot play them. Any solutions to the problem?

    I get the feeling some has asked a question "like" this but not exactly that question which makes it really hard for find answers fast to the above question. Therefore, I decided to ask it anyway. Hopefully someone has a good solution that will work.
    Background on the question:
    - I had to erase and reupload song on my ipod 1st gen to my new computer. Apparently the ipod could not be read by the iTunes in my new computer because the playlist cannot be opened in more than one iTunes or in another computer or something like that (this makes no sense). All this was to try and charge my ipod that does not seem to want to charge. It connects perfectly to the computer and I can see the initial blinking yellow lights on the back and front, but won't charge. I am currently working on this problem from other community discussion topics.

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
