Itunes doesn't allow me to send some songs to my iphone or allow me to play them?

When i drag and drop some music files on my itunes it doesn't allow me to play or send the song to my iphone? The song details are shown in a light grey with the 'refresh' like button the very left hand side.

I had a problem getting any calendar events after a hd failure and reinstall. Someone here told me to try this and it worked!
1. Launch iTunes - Preferences - Devices - Reset Sync History - Confirm - Give it 1 min. You may or may not see a progress bar. Ensure Outlook is closed when you do this.
*Now go ahead and sync Outlook Calenders to iPod
2. Attempt to try and sync using the different USB Ports in the system and see weather or not syncing takes a bit longer and actually copies information over
3. If you are able to Restore the iPod as a new iPod so it has a fresh info.. And sync everything to it like it is the first time.
Hope it helps!

Can't listen to some songs on my iPhone 5 that can be played on my iTunes

After updating to the new iTunes and shnchronizing my phone, some of the songs on my phone have the stop sign (pinkish square) to their right and I can't listen to them. They're in my library on iTunes and I can play them there, just not on my phone.

Thanks for the suggestions, but they didn't work. This is what appears.

HT1349 I have multiple albums that I've purchased that iTunes will not allow me to play stating they cannot locate the source. I then tried going into available downloads in iTunes to see if I needed to download it again, and iTunes tells me it is already

I have multiple albums that I've purchased through iTunes, and iTunes will not allow me to play them stating they cannot locate content.I tried going into iTunes Store and look for available downloads, but the store shows it's already downloaded. It's a lot of music i've bought and can't play. How do I fix this?

Forget the pad for a moment and just think about I tunes on your computer. Every now and then( 3 times over 6 years) when doing an I tunes upgrade, I tunes seems to lose track of some of my music files. They show up in the I tunes listing, but when you try to play, it cannot find the source. The cause is always that I have somehow moved some or all of the music to a library that is outside of the set of libraries I have dragged into I tunes.
On your computer, search for one of the songs. All the missing ones are probably together, and when you find one, you will find the rest. When you find it, note the directory and file path to where it lives, then add that path to your I tunes
Ibarra.
Note, the original listing will still be in I tunes, so you will get double listings for theses songs, and no easy way to tell which is the valid ane and which is not, other than the ! Symbol when it cannot find the file. I know of no good way to get rid of the duplicate listing except manually going through and deleting them.
One you get them back into your I tunes library, they will sync and play fine.
Second side effect, if you are streaming to atv, and it comes accross one of those entries that leads nowhere, it simply stops streaming, and you have to restart the play.

ITunes doesn't allow me to watch a movie

Carmell-
When I've had a similar problem, it was because I was accessing the iTunes store from a device I hadn't used before, such as when I upgraded from an iPad 1 to the iPad 2. It was a little confusing to me until I figured it out.
All I had to do was use the ID of my existing account and play along with the iTunes store. As I recall, it asked for my password twice, and the security code from the back of my credit card. After that, downloads proceeded as before.

ITunes won't allow me to play a certain song

My iTunes won't allow me to play Paradise by Coldplay but allows me to play other songs. They told me to put my Apple I.D in and they recognized it but then it played another song. Help?

iTunes can play many different types of mpeg-4 videos that are not compatible with the iPod. iTunes can playback 720p and 1080p mpeg-4 AVC baseline 1.4 videos that can't even be played using AppleTV (or the iPod). So iTunes compatibility doesn't always mean iPod compatibility.
However, you can convert it in iTunes to ipod compatibility.
Highlight the movie in itunes, go to menu ADVANCED and select "Create iPod or iPhone version".

How do you delete songs from Itunes? I have many that show up as many as 7 times and itunes will not allow me to remove them.

I have tried to Hilight them and hit Control Delete nothing happens. I tried to just Delete one, but when you hit delete nothing happens.

Hey renie1515,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Have a nice day,
Mario

My computer is already authorized. However, iTunes will not allow me to play songs that i have already purchased.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if only a small number of songs are affected, delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not seem to be related to. Is your question concerning iTunes Match or syncing with iTunes via USB?

My computer says it can't copy some songs to my iPhone because my computer isn't authorized, but it is.

Hi Sonnova,
Do you happen to have more than one Apple ID? If you've authorised your computer using the one you're signed into then the most likely cause is that the iTunes purchases were made on another Apple ID.
To check you bought them on the Apple ID you're signed into, you can go into iTunes, click on Store and View My Account. From there you should have a Purchase History option where you can check the songs were bought on that account.
If you have another Apple ID then try to sign into that one (sign out of current one and into new one under Store in iTunes), then Transfer Purchases again and you should have no issues.
Hope this helps.

I have some songs in my iphone i don't put there.

why i have some songs in my iphone that i don't put there. and i even can't play them but they apeear.

This usually happens when you have songs in your iTunes library that iTunes can no longer find the files for. Look for the greyed out songs in your iTunes library and delete them and then re-sync. They will likely have "!" next to them.

I have subscribed to itunes match. How do I get the songs from my iphone into my itunes library which only shows the songs I have purchased? Lots of the songs on my iphone were taken from CD's years ago which is why I thought itunes match would help.

I was on iTunes on my computer trying to drag a song from my iPhone 4 to my computer but when I connected my phone to the computer using a USB cable then it said that it couldn't connect to my phone because I need to get the later version of iTunes. How?
