ITunes song not authorized to computer keeps popping up

I bought an album a few days ago on iTunes and every song plays on it, except for one. When I try to play it, on iTunes (on my computer) it says that my computer is not authrorized to play it and that I have to put in my apple ID, so I do, and it says that my computer already is authorized. I also can't play that same song on my iphone.
I also tried to delete the song from my itunes and redownload it, but I didn't do that because I noticed that the whole album wasn't under purchased on my iTunes. Is it maybe because this album was preordered?
Why is this happening how do I fix it?

every song plays on it, except for one.
That suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
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 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.

  • Purchased songs not authorized on computer from ipod

    For some reason a pop up comes up that says this computer is not authorized to play purchased songs on ipod. And I choose the option to authorize. It says it is authorized already. After clicking ok it closes then it pops up again. I authorize it again but it keeps popping up. Not sure why since all the songs are purchased through the store.

    Change the iPod's drive letter. That has helped several folks.

    I know your symptom isn't in that article's list, but try it.
    I assume the songs will play in itunes, correct? If you get the evil authorization loop while just trying to play songs in iTunes, there are other things to try. If they just won't go to the ipod, the drive letter change should work.

  • IPhoto says iTunes songs "Not Authorized"

    When I create a slide show in iTune then select a song for background music from iTunes... iPhoto tells me the song is "Not Authorized" although I know it is. iPhoto asks if I want to "Authorized" and when "RE-authorized" the song(s) iPhoto STILL does not recognize the song as authorized. Songs I ripped from CDs work fine but songs I've purchased at the iTune Store are not working with my iPhoto. iTunes and iTunes are the very latest version as is my OS. I'm stumped.

    Wray:
    Are you using Quicktime 7.1.3? I understand that it's required in order to use those iTMS files in other applications. Do a search for "Not Authorized" or similar terms and see what you find.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

    I purchased a song on itunes and when I play it, it says my computer is not authorized. A window pops to authorize my computer so I type in my account info and hit authorize. After that a window pops up saying it is already authorized but still won't play. None of this happens with any other songs on my itunes. I would just purchase the song again but I can't because every time I try to purchase it, the song says "play" next to it instead of "buy." When I hit play no music plays it just goes back to saying my computer is not authorized so I authorize it and it says it is already authorized then I click it again and it says my computer is not authorized. It's a never ending annoying circle. How can I get the song to play?

    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

  • Songs not authorized for transfer

    What do I do??? New nano and I tried to initially transfer my library (only 70 songs) to it but 69 of the songs say "songs not authorized for transfer on this computer"... What do I do>????? Something with my iMac???? Good god... This is not easy sometimes...

    Hmm... I don't have a Mac computer but usually when songs aren't authorized to be transferred it is because you bought them on iTunes with a certain account and that account isn't the same one used on the new computer. All you have to do is go to the top of the iTunes screen after opening it up and go over to the 'Store' -> 'Authorize Computer'. Then a prompt should come up for you to type in the AppleID or the AOL ID that you used to buy the songs. This will let you play and use the songs on your current computer. However, only 5 computers can be authorized per ID, but a computer can also be deauthorized as well. Hope I could help!

    Thanks!

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer.
    If for some odd reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:
    File>transfer Purchases
    In the U.S you can use the newly released icloud, beta version, to get itunes purchases.  open itunes store, click Purchased under Quick Links

    hi itunes wont install windows error 2 keep popping up what do i do?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Just installed iTunes 10.4.1 and it wouldn't work.  Did a system restore.  ITunes will not boot.  Computer tells me I must reinstall iTunes.  How do I do that?

    Just installed iTunes 10.4.1 and it wouldn't work.  Did a system restore.  ITunes will not boot.  Computer tells me I must reinstall iTunes.  How do I do that?

    Thanks, but since iTunes will not boot, I cannot run that iTunes diagnostic.  Just need to know how to reinstall iTunes (Windows XP). Do I need to remove the existing non working version of iTunes, or can I just install iTunes from Apple like I was a new user?

    What do you mean 'does not ship unless he closed' ? What are you trying to do with your iPad, and what happens when you do it ?
    If your computer's iTunes isn't recognising the iPad then do you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer ?
