ITunes downloads will not play on my PC . . .

but they will play on my iPad2 through iCloud.  There are no errors next to the songs and the downloads were successful--but I can only play them on the one device.  The biggest issue is I want to download them onto my shuffle for running--and I have to do that from my laptop, which will not play the songs.

I have the same problem.  EXACTLY the same problem.

  • I have a iTunes account and recently 2 of the song I have downloaded will not play, it says that it not authorised to play. How ever on the same day the other songs I downloaded that day are playing fine

    I have a iTunes account and recently 2 of the song I have downloaded will not play, it says that it not authorised to play. How ever on the same day the other songs I downloaded that day are playing fine. I can't play the 2 song on my lap top and I-pod.

    Hello Jigz19,
    It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:

    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 so, then delete the songs:

  • TS1389 I purchased a song on iTunes that is now appearing twice on my library; the first download only plays 37 seconds of the song, the second download will not play & prompts me to authorize the computer to allow it to play.  Suggestions?

  • Older itunes purchases will not play on newly authorized computer...

    before i got an apple id i was using my aol account for my itues account id.  eventually got an apple id which i've used to make purchases over the last couple of years.  just got a new computer and the songs i purchased with my old aol itunes id will not play on the new computer.  when i try to authorize the song using my current apple id it says my computer is already authorized to play the song.  any ideas?

    I meant to mention that I bought a new song from iTunes since getting the new iPod hooked up as a 'test' and it will not play either. I thought possibly the older purchases were associated with the other player...
    Thanks

  • I have thousands of songs dowloaded from my cds and purchased from itunes that will not play.  It states the file cannot be found.  What happened to them and where are they?

    I have thousands of songs dowloaded from my cds and purchased from itunes that will not play.  It says file cannot be found.  What happened and where are they?

    When songs cannot be found, it's either because they have been moved from the original location that you told iTunes, renamed or deleted.
    So have you:
    renamed songs?
    moved them to a different loaction on your computer since you imported them into itunes?
    deleted them since you imported them?
    stored you iTunes library on an external drive? If so, that drive needs to be on and ready every time before you start iTunes.
    ... or is another programme renaming or even moving them, such as Windows Media Player? (It has been known to if you let it.) Did you previously use Windows Media Player?

    You can probably import into a modern version of iMovie (8 or higher).
    If you just wish to view the videos the free VLC player can play them back.

  • TS1717 i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes: they will not play in my windows media center even though i have added them to that location. any idea what other trouble shooting i can attempt on this issue??

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

  • Downloaded iTunes song will not play

    iTunes version 7.1.1.5
    Yesterday I purchased a song from iTunes. It will not play at all.
    I only have the one account and have not authorized any additional computers. It shows up in the library but when I double click the song it does nothing. If I play the preceding song iTunes skips the new song and places the one after. All artwork and everything appears to have been downloaded properly.
    Additionally, I downloaded a nother song earlier yesterday and I have no problems with it.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Itunes videos will not play on Itouch-- HELP!! (please)

    I recently purchased an Itouch, (& I love it!!-for the most part) I just have one issue... none of the videos I purchased in the Itunes store will play on it! They will transfer without issue, but when I try to play it on my Itouch I get this message: "This movie could not be played". So my tv shows, music videos, AND movies will not play! (note: all were purchased/ downloaded from the itunes store). [They will play on my old Ipod mini tho...)
    I have spent two days perusing Apple support and all over the internet looking for a fix... nothing is working. I have the latest edition of itunes and everything. I have reset my Itouch, taken everything off and put it back on. I have un-installed and re-installed itunes... I have also done all of the trouble shooting steps... like the downloading of the sample video...
    One message board told me that I could go to Advanced> Create Iphone or Itouch version & that should do the trick... nope. It's not even an option for me... and since I don't have QuickTime PRO it won't let me convert and export my videos either.
    I am rather distressed about this, so I really hope you can help me.
    Thanks!

    I don't understand what your iPod model has to do with your version of iTunes...
    ... this option is in the iTunes' Advanced menu... if you have the latest version of iTunes installed, it would be right there... only grayed out if you don't have a video file selected.

  • ITunes music will play on iTunes but will not play in my iPod

    I downloaded music from iTunes. It plays on my computer and shows up on my iPod. However, it will not play. When I attempt to play the iPod says "now playing" skipping all 25 tracks. The music is in the purchased, artist, music, etc. folders.
    Any thoughts?

  • Digital copies of Hugo and Transformer's with iTunes extras will not play

    The copys of Hugo and Transformer's that came with a digital copy, that I had to download from iTunes will not play.  When I try to play them it says "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." 
    I have the latest version of iTunes installed and all of my other digital copy movies work fine.  I thought it might just be a corrupt download, so I deleted the Transformer's movie, and to my suprise, I can't redownload it!  If I go into the finder and find the file in itunes and try to play Hugo, there, it opens up Quicktime and plays just fine. 
    Anyone with either of these movies please chime in.  I haven't tried much to fix this, as I don't know what to do.  Thanks!

    I just found this thread because I had "The Big Lebowski" and "Harry Potter, Deathly Hallows Part 1" doing that to me.
    Your solution worked.
    Then after those were back in the library with their nice album art, I see that Hugo had gone to the "gray cube" and wouldn't play!  The "Extras" interface would, but not the movie.  So I did it to that movie.  There were multiple movies in the list, the Extras and the Movie itself.  When I went to add it back in, I just got the movie, not the Extras interface.
    Has anyone else figured out how to get the Extras back?

  • My itunes movie will not play on ipad?

    I have just purchased and downloaded my first movie from the itunes store. It plays in itunes, but will not sync with my ipad. I also purchased a second movie at the same time. The second movie works as I would exppect. i.e. I can play it in itunes, and sync it and play it on my ipad. When I try to sync the first movie I get the message ...was not copied to the iPad because you are not authorised for it on this computer. Clearly I am authorised, as it's my computer and it plays on my computer, just not on my ipad. Anyone know what's going on or how to fix it? Not a great first experience of buying movies form the itunes store.

  • Using ITunes Tutorials will not play.  Using windows XP.  All software up to date.  I know others have had the same issue, however I have not seen a solution.  I appreciate any advice.

    iTunes Tutorials iwll not play.   Using windows XP.  All software up to date.  I know others have had the same issue, however I have not seen a solution.  I appreciate any advice.

    I have traced the problem to a corrupted profile.  When I captured the images in question, I also used Color Cherckr to create a profile for processing.  When I apply that profile to the adjustments I make, I can no longer "Edit In".  If I use another profile, even one that I created using Color Checkr at a different point in time, I don't have the issue.  Something seems to have corrupted the new profile.  I will re-create the profile and see if the issue is resolved.

  • ITunes movies will not play; blank window.

    I recently purchased several HD movies from the iTunes Store (~$15.00 or more each), and now I've discovered they will not play on my MacPro (I do not own a TV.)
    When I click the movies a separate window opens (as usual), but it remains black and nothing plays, If I move the movie window to another screen (I have three 30" Apple Cinema displays connected to a 2010 MacPro) the movies still will not play on any of the screens. If I change the iTunes settings to open the movie in the iTunes window, the movies still does not play. This problem seems to be recent, I have purchased MANY HD moves/TV shows from the ITunes store and have not had this problem until very recently (a month or so.)
    If I try to open the movie with QuickTime instead of iTunes I get this message: "This movie cannot be played because it is on a display that is not authorized to play protected movies. Try moving this window to a different display or disconnecting any displays that are not HDCP authorized."
    The only thing I can find buried in the iTunes Terms and Conditions is "(viii) An HDCP connection is required to view content transmitted over HDMI." But I am not transmitting over HDMI, the displays are connected directly to the MacPro and I don't have any HDMI cables connected to the machine. There is NOTHING at the time of purchase that indicates the HD movie will not play on my Apple displays.
    Is it just the HD version of the movie? Would the SD version play OK?
    How can the displays I'm using not be "authorized" it's an Apple display, using Apple cables/adapters connected to an Apple MacPro.
    Any insight, information, or constructive help would be greatly appreciated (I do have a Apple support call scheduled for tomorrow...)
    Thanks.

  • ITunes videos will not play

    Ever since I've updated to the newer iTunes version, my videos will not play correctly. Any video I bought on iTunes will not work. Also any video previews or trailers from iTunes will not work. Any other video from online or ones that I've recorded work normally. When I try to play a video, this is what it looks like:
    The picture does not show, but the audio plays perfectly. Quicktime and every other software is updated. I've tried to find the answer on the forums but couldn't find one similar to my problem. Also, I cannot contact any apple support by phone because I'm currently living in China and this or e-mail is the most conveinent.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    K.
