Itunes downloads wont play in car

i have tried to download music on a usb to play in my 2009 chevy. will not play. computer shows the music is on usb. is car too old to play the downloads or can i do something to get music to play?? thanks for any help stew

Stew, there are 2 possibilities:
If you bought those tracks prior to mid-2009, they are probably DRM-protected, and will not play in any non-Apple device.
If you bought them more recently, they are in AAC format. That is Apple's favorite audio format, but it is frequently rejected by non-Apple players. Fortunately, you can use iTunes to convert AAC into standard MP3 format, per this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
MP3 plays in just about anything.

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

Did I not answer your question? You didn't ask for any troubleshooting tips. You simply asked "Anyone have songs they bought on iTunes that won't play". And I haven't.
If you have a technical support question, ask it.

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.

A song I just downloaded wont play

I just downloaded Last Night by Diddy and it wont play. All my other songs play and the Diddy song shows the Album Art. the only thing I notice thats different is it doesn't say Protected AAC Audio File. Its just blank. What do I do? I dont want to but the song twice

I have a 2nd gen. iPod and it wont play a song I
recently downloaded (My Doorbell by The White
Stripes). What should I do? I already tried
downloading it again, and that didnt work.
I have the same issue with the same song. Itunes will play it, but my Ipod will skip several songs on the album before it starts to play.

Dowloaded Itunes movie wont play

downlaoded Itunes movie wont play

It's a newly purchased film, and what happens when you tap on it in the Videos app to try and play it ?
If you haven't already done so then you could try closing the Videos app via the phone's taskbar (closing an app) and do a soft-reset (press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, ignoring the red slider, after which the Apple logo should appear) and see if it plays when the phone has restarted and you re-open the Videos app.
If it doesn't then depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from the Videos app and redownload it via the Purchases tab in the iTunes store app (or delete it from your computer's iTunes library and redownload it via Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page and resync it to your phone).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films or if the redownloaded version doesn't play then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
Or you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My itunes song wont play

A station on iTunes Radio wont play at all

Hello to all!
Im having a problem using iTunes Radio on OSX Mavericks. The first station I added was Medieval and Renaiscance, I listed to it twice but after that it wont play. I just click on the play button the loading bar moves but then it does nothing, just goes back to the usual play button.
It does this every single time I try to listen to it.
I tried deleting it and adding it back but it doesnt work that way either
I really like this music so it would be nice to be able to listen to it again.
Thank you all for your help and im sorry if I dont use correct terms Ive just switched from Windows.

From what you've described, most likely it's a problem with the station itself, in which case there's nothing you can do to fix things on your end. You'll probably just have to wait a while until the station fixes the stream. If you'll post the name of the station, though, someone else can check it and see if they have the same problem.
Regards.

If you read other posts, you will see that you are not the only one. Getting the program (download I guess) is not much help, but getting it installed is another story.
