ITunes Radio channel selection not playing selected artist.

When you select a channel on iTunes radio it appears that the selected artist is never to hardly never played. For example I selected Jimmy Buffett to create Jimmy Buffett radio. I skipped six songs and never heard Jimmy Buffett. I tried the same with other artist and maybe heard the selected one once.
With Pandora your selected artist is played every third or fourth song. What gives?

This is still a very new service and it not as mature as Pandora. Be patient with it.

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound. There were several vidoes on the purchase I made and two of the videos will not play the video or sound. I've checked to see if they were waiting for download and nothing is there. Any suggestions.

TS5181 How can I get iTunes Radio to QUIT automatically playing?!

When I get out of the car and I'm in one of my playlists (created on a computer, not a genius or anything) and I'm in the middle of a song, my issue is when I get back in the car (it can be 5 minutes or 2 hours), my song doesn't pick up from where I left off. In fact, my playlist isn't even playing -- iTunes Radio is!! I don't want it to do that!! Does anyone know how I can get iTunes Radio to quit automatically playing?? Thank you.

Bumping this.... iTunes Radio in Canada was supposed to come out early this year (2014). It's mid-November and still no sign and no word from Apple... Anyone have any idea if/when we can expect this?

Two I-Tunes radio stations do not play. What do I do?

Hello:
On my laptop, my two favorite I-Tunes radio stations do not play. They are DI-Hardstyle and DI-Tribal House under Electronica. When I play them, they either skip to another station or it just gets stuck saying "getting playlist." I did not used to have this problem and I don't have it on my other computer. What can I do to listen to them again? Thank you.

Since the "UPGRADE" I am unable to play my radio station that I have listened to before without problems. Now what? I am beginning to regret this iTunes 7 "UPGRADE." I am a member of the station and have always listened to it at
http://wxpnsc.streamguys.com/listen.pls
However since "iTunes 7" all I get is the station's intro. followed by NOTHING or going through the iTunes Library, following the xpn.org intro. the next song in my Library is played; the same happens when I attempt to access with Safari. Please tell me how to correct this?

I have songs in my iTunes Application that will not play. I keeps saying that this computer is not authourized to play name of song would you like to authourize it. The problem is its the old account I had and that has been changed. How am I going to authorize these songs when this account no longer exists.

I posted about this yesterday -- it happened to me, and the solution was incredibly simple. An Apple tech guy had me delete my SC Info Folder, located on my XP in Application Data.

It wasn't every song, just a few of them. A nightmare to figure out what to do, but it was solved upon reboot.

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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I attempted to download a song. It originally did not download correctly. I refreshed the download and it supposedly completed. Upon playing the song in both my library and on the Itunes store it will not play past the first 5 seconds. How can I fix this?

Hello Whitney262,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I would go ahead and make sure you can first download the content, then remove the song from your iTunes Library, and download again from your iTunes past purchases. The article below will walk you through the entire process:

I downloaded a song to my itunes and it will not play. How do I get it to work?

I downloaded a song off of itunes and it will not play but indicates that it is downloaded. Any thoughts on how to get it to work?

Hi randybratton,
If a specific song that was purchased on your iPhone won't transfer to iTunes on your computer, you may want to try redownloading it directly to your computer from the iTunes Store. You may find the following article helpful:

Did you copy your actual iTunes content from your computer before reinstalling iTunes, or did you just copy your iTunes library which only contains the pointers to your songs / books locations ?
You might, depending upon your country and if they are still in your country's store, be able to redownload your music purchases and your ibooks via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - you will need to delete the entries from your library (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' messages) before they will potentially show with the cloud icon against them in Purchased for redownloading.
Or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library

I purchased a movie on iTunes, but it will not play on my Apple TV1. It says the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.

I purchased a movie on iTunes, but it will not play on my Apple TV1. It says the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.

Annoying isn't it.
This seems to have started at the end of October and may be some kind of 'authorisation expiry' on the original unit that needs updating.
Solution include:
Purchase something on the AppleTV1 itself with DRM (a free TV Show episode might be an idea if yiou can find one).
Remove the connection to itunes by removing the iTunes library from AppleTV's Computers>Settings menu, then add it back again.
Remember this will wipe synced content from the AppleTV if AppleTV1 is syncing (My Movies/TV Shows etc) as opposed to streaming (My Shared Movies etc) from that itunes library. In theory direct purchases on AppleTV that have never transferred to itunes might survive the 'wipe for a clean slate for a new sync' process that happens when you remove a sync library but don't risk it and right click on the AppleTV Device in itunes, choose Transfer Purchases if there are any prior to resetting the AppleTV Computers entry and readding the library. If AppleTV is streaming only it's very quick to remove the libarry and re-add it as there's nothing to sync when you re-establish the connection - it works I've done it. Purchasing a protected music video on my other AppleTV1 which was synced also worked.
Good luck

I purchased a song from iTunes however it will not play. I get a message telling me I need to authorize my PC, when I go through the steps as directed I get a message saying this PC is already authorized however the song still will not play. Any help?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, 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 items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
