ITunes: downloaded song wont play

I purchased/downloaded a song by Mute Math from the iTunes store and now it wont play on iTunes, it has played fine since now. All my other purchased songs play fine??
I Have an iMac7,1

I have had the same problem since updating to iTunes 10.5 and it has happened on 2 different occaisions with 3 different albums where I was unable to sync the tracks....and where the computer is shared and smeone else is the main user it meant that I could not access the purchased section to redownload it. I contacted support and they sent me the relevant files.
I'm guessing there may be a slight glitch in 10.5.

Downloaded song wont play.

I downloaded a song from the iTunes store. It wont play. Says computer isn't authorized, but computer IS authorized. Purchased another song and it works fine. What gives? I get a prompt to sign in to authorize computer, but when I do it says the computer is already authorized BUT it still wont play the song.

It sounds like the first song (that won't play) was purchased under a different Apple ID.
Check that by control-clicking on the song in iTunes, doing a "Get Info" and inspecting the Apple ID.
That is the one that needs to be authorized on your iTunes.

I have downloaded songs from itunes and they won't play on an authorized computer or ipod.

Provided you are in a country where you are able to redownload past purchases, delete the songs from your iTunes Library.
Redownload (free) by clicking "Purchased", under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store.
If this doesn't work contact iTunes support here:

Since a recent itunes upgrade, songs wont play

What does the "!" in front of a song mean? The song will not play.

It means the song can't be located. For instance, if you moved the song from where it was when you added it to the library, it doesn't know where to look for it now. Usually when you click on it, it will tell you it can't be located and would you like to locate it? You then find it for iTunes and then it should all be good. Sometimes it's not that you moved it, but that iTunes "forgot" where it was.

HT1296 I recently purchased songs from my iphone. All good... But I then went to put them on my ipod touch. They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour.

They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

SONG WONT PLAY ON ITUNES

on march 24th i believe or recently i purchased the new KIP MOORE CD. and it is amazing. and been listening to it non stop ever since. well just last night when i was listening to the cd on my ipod i realized the first song kept getting skipped. so when i got home i got on itunes and clicked it. the pop up came up saying you are not authorized to play this song. so i signed in. and it tells me that i my computer is already autherized. and skips to the next song. so i was reading and i read to deauthorized everything i did that. and still same thing. so what do i need to do now. is there some way to fix this. ... now i did download it last night to my laptop. and it plays but on my iPod and main computer the song wont play at all. wont even burn to a cd to listening to it.. please help me. i wouldnt mind if it was a song that sucked but it is an amazing song. thanks.

ap, have you moved the song files on your computer that have the exclamation point next to them? Try playing them in iTunes and see if a window doesn't come up asking you to locate the file. Also, there might be something wrong with the song file that is keeping iTunes from syncing it to your iPod. Do all these songs have something in common that you might recognize?

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3, and there is no option to download again

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3 and there is no option to download again?

Hey KMK14,
I understand you are having issues with a few tracks in iTunes. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the song from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
For more information, see the following:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Downloaded an album and half of the songs wont play.

I downloaded The Fault in Our Stars album and most of the songs wont play, it just skips to a song that actually works.

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 entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

I've bought songs on itunes and they wont play on my iphone

I've bought songs on itunes and they wont play on my iphone because a cloud is showing but wont download the song...frustrated!!! Sometimes I can listen to them and then the next day there's a cloud showing.

On your iPhone tap Settings > iTunes & App Store then make sure Music is switched ON.

I upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS8 Most of my iTunes songs wont play I get a red square in a circle

I upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS8 Most of my iTunes songs wont play I get a red square in a circle on the right side. This is maddening!!

iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.

I have downloaded a book from itunes but it wont play. It says it has downloaded and i have checked this against the store. I am stuck

I have downloaded a book from itunes but it wont play. It says it has downloaded and i have checked this against the store.

I've had similar issues. Turning off firewalls seems to help the download to complete properly. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the problem might be.

Song wont play even after purchase.

song wont play after purchase from itunes nor the album cover picture wont show need help!!

You might have a bad download. Contact the iTunes Store support and see if you can download the song again.
