ITunes requesting authorisation on specific tracks

Hey guys -
I've had a search around the web for this, but I'm not getting anywhere. My late 2013 MBP won't play specific iTunes tracks, and pops up a "you need to authorise this machine message" when I try to. I enter the username and password, and quickly get a "machine already authorised" message.
The scenario is this:
* All my music is generally stored in iTunes Match - normally I don't have a local copy accessible
* When I realised a track wouldn't play yesterday (Green Day's American Idiot) I decided to download all of my music to my MBP
* I spent a few hours downloading every track I should have, and by the end I was a couple of thousand tracks short - ie my downloads are missing a couple of thousand that are in the cloud... This may be a different issue though...
* The specific test track, American Idiot, actually did download, but won't play in iTunes (not authorised message) or VLC (nothing happens when I click play).
Here's what I've tried:
* Does it work from another device? Yes - I can play this track from Match on my iPhone and iPad
* I've tried to deauthorise and reauthorise all machines on my account, but can't since I did it last September when I got the MBP
* Following some advice from the support site, I deleted my ....../SC Info folder and rebooted
So, it seems the Mac is the only one stuck. That's a problem right now since I'm taking the wife on honeymoon in a couple of weeks, and we won't have access to Match (or the internet mostly, argh!), so I want to throw our library onto my MBP.
Anyone else come across this?
Thanks,
-dave.
PS I saw a question in another post about this - for clarity, this is the only Apple account I have, and I've had for more than 10 years now, so I don't think this is a DRM issue. Actually, on the specific test track, pretty sure that was a CD I imported years ago. Like I said, it's also playing fine from Match on my phone

What you are seeing isn't unusual for a corrupt download. Delete the file completely from your computer and redownload.

ITunes having issues with specific tracks.

Specific tracks are giving me problems. That is to say when I try to play that specific song iTunes will pinwheel for 20~30 seconds (or crash) and if it does play the song will stutter. When I'm syncing my iPod and it gets to these tracks iTunes will again pinwheel for a while and then tell me that my iPod cannot be read from/written too. I've tried removing iTunes and reinstalling as well as removing the Library.xml file to no luck (however removing the library file changed which songs are giving me issues). The songs are seemingly random, some are in the middle of albums or songs I purchased off itunes store, no real pattern there. Also it was doing this under 10.5.8 and now still with 10.6. Its all very strange and I'm out of ideas.

Are the videos the right kind of files to play in itunes? If not they need to be converted.
Not sure if I am allowed to mention the software needed to convert so you may have to use google to find that.

ITunes requesting authorisation to play videos,

Hi,
Recently I have purchased a series pass for Chuck Season 3. The first episodes of Chuck have downloaded, but when I go to view them, it requests that I authorise my computer. My computer has already been authorised, and literally minutes before going to play Chuck I have been playing other music / videos which I purchased through iTunes.
I tried authorising the computer as it requested, but this did not work. It stated that my computer had already been authorised and did not need to be authorised again. After this message box disappeared, it asked me again to authorise my computer. I entered my details again, and this time it went to the video.
After this, I only got a grey screen and no sound coming from the video I was trying to play.
I have attempted several of the guides which have been provided by apple, such as deleting SC files etc
I am now stuck on what to do, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Dave

Ditto. I purchased Invictus BluRay with a Digital Copy. The Digital Copy works great on my iPad, but I get the same sort of authorize/already authorized/authorize sequence and no audio and gray video on my Windows PC. Other movies with Digital Copies work fine (Star Trek). Same behavior on iTunes 9 and 10.
I have NOT tried "the guides" the Original poster refers to. Where are they?

Will we be able to link to a SPECIFIC TRACK in iTunes U?

In planning ahead, this question has come up:
Will we, when everything is up and running, be able to link to a SPECIFIC TRACK within a course on our Otis iTunes U site?
Or will one only be able to link to the WELCOME page then navigate to the desired track?
thanks in advance, Kathleen

I would assume that you could link to a store URL for a track if it was in your public instance (such as http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=136709067&s=143 441&i=5147220 which is also available at their website at http://www.chm.colostate.edu/podcasts.html) and that if it was in your private area behind a password & login it would make you do that first, but then continue to that link.
I notice that at http://www.apple.com/education/solutions/itunes_u/
it says that iTunes U has:
"Integrated podcasting support. Automatically generate a podcast feed from within any course.
# Protects your online learning investments. iTunes U complements learning management systems, including Blackboard, WebCT, and Sakai. Students can access iTunes U content from within these systems with one click."
I'm wondering if there will be specific APIs to work with a CMS?

Linking to specific tracks in iTunes U PSM

OK, on the new iTunes U public interface it doesn't seem possible to link directly to a specific track and have it start playing in iTunes when the link is clicked. Instead the link opens a collection page in the browser. This is a change from how the old public side worked.
Anyone have any ides how to link directly to a track?
Thanks,
Shannon

Two additional pieces of information:
Be sure that you are clicking the "View in iTunes" button next to the specific track that is highlighted on the iTunes Previews page. Many users make the mistake of clicking "View in iTunes" below the collection's artwork. This is indeed a collection URL and will redirect you into the iTunes Store without highlighting a specific track.
If you want to link to a specific track and have the link automatically open iTunes you need to add an extra parameter to the end of the URL. If the link you have copied already contains a question mark (?) add the text: &ls=1 If it does not then it should be: ?ls=1.
Examples:
With ? - add "&ls=1"
Before: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/11-mistakes-to-avoid-in-2011/id380130790?i=89 972552
After: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/11-mistakes-to-avoid-in-2011/id380130790?i=89 972552&ls=1
Without ? - add "?ls=1"
Before: http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/texas-a-m-engineering-works/id387509697

We could not complete your iTunes request...message

Morning folks, I'm sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, I have looked but can't see it. I need to access the iTunes store from my work laptop, (I have iTunes installed) and when I go to, this message pops up-We could not complete your iTunes request. You do not have permission to access the requested resource. I do remember adding my laptop as one of the five machines I can have. I tried to double check my account to see which computers are authorised but 'it' will only let me de-authorised all of them. Any suggestions would be great,
Thanks

Authorization or lack thereof would not normally affect the ability to access the iTunes Store itself. It may be that something on your work computer or work network is blocking access to the Store. Run the Network Diagnostics in iTunes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3204
and post the results here. That may provide some clues.
Regards.

I am trying to upload a project with multiple tracks to iTunes. only the first track seems to be uploading. what do I do?

I am trying to upload a project from garageband with multiple tracks to itunes but only the first track is uploading. what do i do to make them all upload together?

Couple of questions:
What type of Tracks are they (MIDI, AUdio, Drummer)?
WHen you play your Project, do You hear all Tracks playing?
What happens when you change the Track order, i.e. A-B-C to B-C-A? WHen you export, do you still get only one Track and if so, is it talways the first Track in the list or a specific Track regardless if it is the first, second, or third?
Are you sure you don't have any Tracks Muted or Soloed (which auto-mutes the other Tracks)?
Hope that helps

Problem buying a specific track, not tracks in general

Over in the regular Music Store they're suggesting that I
post this here even though it's not my setup that's the problem.
I am having a problem downloading a specific track, other
purchases work OK. The problem is obviously in the Store,
but iTunes Support waits 3 days to reply with a canned
e-mail blaming my "firewall" or my "web accelerator"
software. I don't need Technical Support; my software is
working fine. I need someone to fix the item in the store.
I am trying to purchase the track:
Artist: Oregon
Title: The Glide - Single
The track is listed in the Store and is available
to Preview, but when I try to buy it I get:
Could not purchase "Unknown". An unknown error
occurred (5002).
There was an error in the Music Store. Please try again later.
This has been happening for 9 days now and I've tried
to buy it from 4 different computers. I do not
have trouble buying other tracks. It looks like
there is a problem with the store, not my computer.
Thanks-
TrackID: 1046351

Well, no doubt that "the issue has been passed to the people in charge". However, I have the feeling that if such a problem was happening to a track in the bestselling iTunes store list, the people would be far more in charge, and it would be fixed in a couple of hours instead of a couple of months, if ever.

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your help

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

When I download a long album from ITunes containing like 20-30 tracks, why does ITunes sometimes segregate one track and create a separate album out of it. I can merge the track into the other tracks on a playlist, but I can not merge the 2 albums.

When I download an opera album with lets day 40 songs (tracks). Why does iTunes create one album of tracks lets say 1 through 22, skip 23 and then 24 through 40. Then a separate album with track 23 is created. I can merge them together in a playlist but not as a single album. I go into the info under the file menu for each and make sure the information is the same but they still will not merge.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

How do I stop my itunes sticking on the first track and playing it over and over?

My itunes starts playing the first track but then repeats it over and over until I move it on manually. How can I stop this happening?

I am looking for an iPad App that will play a specific iTunes song, at a specific time, on a specific day? Thank you all!

Sorry, i did not say that i need to go out further than 1 week. This is for a church Bell Tower Music System. So we don't want to have to re program the music every week. We are looking for more of a Calender App that will play iTunes Songs for alarms...different songs, on different days. IDEAS ANYONE ???

How to Run a Request Set on specific days and at specific hours

Hi community,
The question is simple, how to rin a Request Set on Specific Days and at Specific hours?
Let me explain the scenario.
E-Business Suite, Release 11.5.9.
We have a request set under Sysadmin user. This Request set is running 24x7, during all year, and we want to restrict the execution from Monday to Friday since 08:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m. in order to increase the productivity of our system and more over, to avoid the size increase of a table (OE_EXPOSURE_INTERFACE)
The Request Set includes 5 Requests:
10. Workflow Background Process.
20. GUZMAN: Cálculo metodo pago en pedidos.
30. GUZMAN: Exposición de crédito externo.
40. Credit Exposure Import.
50 Initialize Credit Summaries Table.
As you can see three of them are standar Oracle Order Management Processes and two of them are custom Oracle Order Management Processes; and the requests must be executed in that order.
We have just thinking about to create a Custom Manager with a workshift from Monday to Friday since 08:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m., and include the requests as specialization rules or assigning those request to a Request Type and then include that Request Type as specializated rule, but this does not assure us that the request will be executed in that order.
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot for your answer in advice.
Luis.

Hi Anchorage,
It could be a solution, but not the exact solution that we want. Let me say why.
With the Request set we have the security that each concurrent request is executed when the prior one finishes; is that to say 20, does not begin till 10 finishes, and 30 does not begin till 20 finishes and so on. The most critical concurrent requests are 40 and 50, cause those are the ones that import an external credit exposure in the OE_EXPORURE_INTERFACE table (40) and are the ones that delete those external credit exposures imported (50). The problem is (and we do not know why) that these actions makes grow the size of the table and each time the 40 and 50 processes takes more minutes to finish. That's why we need to truncate the table in order to avoid the excesive grow of itself.
Making each process independent, with a begining time and hoping and expecting that the following one does not begin till the prior one ends is not an admisible or realizable solution due to the problem with the 40 and 50 processes.
So at the end, we need a request set in order to know that each one began when the prior one ends.
And Due to in order to truncate the table, as I said before, the processes that have a relationship whit it, must be stopped (just the 40 and 50 processes) prior to the truncation.
So as you see, it is difficult, very difficult.
Regards.
