Itunes keeps asking to authorize one song from an album purchased

I've seen that many people have posted something similar and I have tried the various fixes like removing the /users/shared/sc info folder (which didnt exist on my imac) and also deauthorizing and reauthorizing the mac, reload etc etc. But one song in the Coldplay album I purchased doesnt play. The rest are fine. It keeps asking to authorise to play the song when the MAC is already authorised. Anyone have any ideas how I address this? I am sure if Itunes allow me re-dowload this it will be ok but how do you contact them? I should have just downloaded from Amazon, itunes does not make life easy.

Thanks for your help, appreciated, but I have no proxy, virus protection or such like. Its definitely a song. Its fully downloaded the Coldplay album and the song 'Paradise' just will not play without authorization and when I authorize it says my Mac is already authorized. I then go to play the song and it asks for authorization again. All other songs play without any trouble. The funny thing is I do an automatic download to my IPhone and the song 'Paradise' plays ok on the phone!! Its the best song the album as well!
Does anyone know how to go about getting ITunes to allow me to download just that song again?
Should stick to buying CD and then ripping the songs.

New hard drive installed in Mac. iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

New hard drive installed in Mac. iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.

It is referring to purchases made using an Apple ID that was set with that email as the Apple ID. Did you simply create a new Apple ID when the old email address was no longer being used? If so, then that old Apple ID is still tied (and will always be tied) to the purchases made with it, and you will have to sign into iTunes with that Apple ID in order to authorize the computer to it.
If you don't remember the password for it, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and click on Reset password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support to get them reset:

Okay, so what is your question?

Itune keep asking to authorize my pc

i having problem sync my app where my itune keep asking to to authorize my PC which i did.

Click on STORE at the top deautorize your computer and reauthorise it with your apple id, that should solve the problem.
Other than that it could be you have purchases from another apple id on your phone that you havent authorised on your pc.

One song from an album I bought with iTunes hasn't downloaded, how can I get to it?

After purchasing and downloading an album, I noticed that one song from the middle of the album seemed not to have finished downloading. It was the same a day later, so I retarted iTunes thinking this would solve the issue. When I tried to play the album, that one song was missing. How can I download it again and hopefully avoid the same issue? Thanks.

Contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them. (apparently the UK support group handle the Portuguese iTunes Store).

ITunes keeps asking for authorization and won't close

I have been having trouble with iTunes ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. iTunes will open and repeatedly ask for authorization. I've tried resetting the authorization, using terminal to do it, deleting folders, etc. I would like to try and uninstall iTunes, but I cannot get iTunes to close. Not even force quit will cause it to stay closed long enough to delete it and reinstall it. Then there's the problem where it appears to have lost my library completely...which may be part of this issue or a separate issue. Considering it started at the same time, I'm guessing it's just another facet of the issue. I'd love to just reinstall iTunes, but I can't get it to not open and/or close. I am about ready to throw the MacBook in the garbage, because this is the sort of problems I expect with Windows, not Apple. Any ideas would be appreciated to save my laptop and sanity.

here is the fix..it worked for me

Hey Mohamed Akhtar,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
If you continue to have issues, you may want to see the steps in this article:

One song from an album didn't download. what do i do?

i recently purchased a few albums at the same time. i downloaded them and put them on my ipod. But later on i realized all the songs didn't download entirely and some songs didn't download at all. when i figured out how to report the problem on itunes. it told me that the item purchased was too old to report a problem on. it had been less than a week. so how long is too long? And once i bought the song shouldn't i be able to download it again. i probably downloaded 60 or 70 songs that day. it took me a while to see that it wasn't correct. does anyone know how to download these songs again without re-purchasing them?

Any song previously purchased in iTunes Store (including any that were "free" for a limited time), can now be re-downloaded at any time, as many times as you want. I have re-downloaded songs purchased YEARS ago, from the opening days of the iTunes Store, way before this re-download policy even existed.
You don't have to report any problem. Go to the main iTunes Store screen in iTunes. You have to be logged into your Apple ID (the iTunes account used to purchase the songs). On the right side of the screen, under Quick Links, find Purchased and click it. This takes you to the Purchased screen. Select the Music category and find the songs that are missing. You can filter by Not on This Computer, which may be a good way to do it in this case, since there are apparently songs that you have purchased that are not on your computer currently.
Once you have song on the screen, click the cloud button (with arrow) to download the song.

I have one song from an album that I bought at itunes that won't play. Instead a dialog box comes up saying this computer is not authorized. When I put in my apple id and password, it says this computer is already authorized. How do I get this fixed?

This album is American Idol Top 4 Season 12 - the song that brings up the dialog box is Emotion by Candice Glover.
Is there a way to redown load the album with out repaying? Is that the best fix??
Thanks,
Scott

Delete the problem track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:

That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Computer is authorized, but iTunes keeps asking to authorize again

Our computer got a virus and we had to run recovery. We backed up our music and then reinstalled iTunes. Now whenever we try to play any of our purchased music iTunes says that the computer isn't authorized, so we authorize it. Then it says that it's been successfully authorized, but when we try to play a song it again says the computer isn't authorized and we try again. What do we do?

The only other 2 things to try are
1. download a free single of the week and try to play it
2. get rid of this SC info folder. The entire folder, not just the file.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
If that doesn't do it, contact iTS support using the button at the bottom of this page. Give them a link to this topic. Quite a few folks are having authorizations probloems with v7.7, esp on older tracks.

I downloaded an album and one song from the album does not play?

I downloaded an album and one of the songs listed does not play.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then 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.

One song from my last purchase did not load. How do I get it?

The new album, Damage, by Jimmy Eat World has ten songs, and I'm missing number 5 of 10. It seems to have been omitted when the album automatically downloaded since I had pre-ordered. Are there any steps that I can take on my own to get the song?

You could try the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option and see if that downloads it, or see if it shows under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for downloading.

Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password. I am not purchasing anything. It started today. Why is that?

I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
* Sign out of iTunes & App Store
* Sign out of FaceTime
* Sign out of Game Center
* Delete iCloud account
They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.
