ITunes Store Purchase Corrupted my iPods!

Help! Last night, I purchased a new album (Ben Folds) from iTunes store and loaded it on my 2G and 5G. Last night, I played my 5G and it kept rebooting in the middle of the album. I thought the iPod was defective until I tried to play my 2G this morning and it did the same thing! At first other albums were not affected but now both iPods have frozen up and won't play. After rebooting my 5G this morning, all songs are gone! I noticed both iPods were very noisy (scratchy) when reading the drives. I have decided not to touch the 2G until I can find out what is going on. Has anyone else seen this issue before? Has anyone downloaded the new Ben Folds album (deluxe edition) with no problems?

Yesterday I purchased Kellie Pickler's new deluxe album and the same thing kept happening. every other song the iPod will freeze and then reboot itself but luckily it didn't damage the iPod. Other albums I tested they all seem to play fine. I e-mailed iTunes waiting for a reply. I purchased many albums off iTunes never a problem. Strange coincidence, I wonder how many others are experiencing any similar situations.

Synced new ipod to itunes, now missing all but itunes store purchased music that is already on my phone

Synced our new ipod nano today to itunes. I don't know what happened but now all but itunes store purchases are in the library, my playlist is gone as well as all the music I had downloaded from my CD's. The iphone 5 still has everything on it but not on my computer. Frustrating!! Now I'm scared to sync my phone, thinking I may lose all of my library off there as well. How do I get my library back on to my computer so I can transfer that music to my ipod?

Look into iTunes Match, a service from Apple that uploads your music in itunes to the cloud (not icloud) so you can download it to other devices.
Try googling "itunes match"

ITunes store purchases won't play on iPod

iTunes has just told me that my iTunes Store purchased music cannot be synced to my iPod because I do not have authorisation to play them on my iPod. I can play them from iTunes on my MacBookPro, sure my iPod is the same account?

I see what happened.... when I upgraded to Leopard, iTunes lost its authorisation.
Now I've reauthorised my computer and it says I've used 2 of my 5 authorisations.... Wow. both on the same machine. Surely the authorisation system can see that it's the same computer and reuse the first authorisation?

Older iTunes Store Purchases Won't Play Completely in iTunes or on my iPhone

I'm on a Mac using iTunes 10.5.1 and an iPhone 4 running iOS 5. I recently had to restore my computer (including my iTunes library) from a backup, and I've run into a problem with playing some of my older iTunes Store purchases both on my computer and on my iPhone. When I play them in iTunes or on the iPhone, older purchases (from, say, 2006) will stop about one minute from the end of the recording, while newer purchases (within the last year) will play all the way through. The files themselves don't seem to be corrupt -- I can play them all the way through in Quicktime, just not in iTunes or on my iPhone.
My computer is authorized on my account, although the "Account Name" associated with the file (in File | Get Info) is an old e-mail address.
Any ideas? I would like to be able to play my old purchases in iTunes and on my iPhone.

I had a similar issue, my 2nd Gen ipod shuffle that has been working fine for years did not show up in Itunes (I got a Windows message saying my USB device was not recognized). This issue started after I installed the latest version of itues, 11.2.0.115. I found this and it solved my problem.

Go to step 2 Restart the iPod Service.
I just stopped the ipod service and then started it again, now my shuffle shows up in itunes just like it used to.

Why do I get a black screen in front row when watching some iTunes store purchases? esp Cars 2

We bought Cars 2 a few months ago from the iTunes store. The movie won't work in Front Row, we only get a black screen (except for the blue Front Row controls at the bottom) although the audio comes through just fine. The annoying part is all of our other iTunes store movies work fine in Front Row. Just Cars 2 is broken. I don't think that it is an authorisation problem because it plays okay in iTunes, Quicktime, even via airplay to an appleTV or via Home Sharing to our iPad.
The movie is only standard definition so I am guessing that it is not an HDCP issue; I understand that there is only HDCP on HD movies. We are playing it on a Mac Mini (core 2 duo) on a Sony Bravia via a VGA connector.
After a little bit of complaining, apple let us download the movie again in case the file was corrupted, but unfortunately the same problem with the new version.
The computer did have Perian installed at one point, but uninstalling and restarting made no difference.
I have found lots of reports of movies with missing picture in Front Row but these are all ripped videos, never with an iTunes Store purchase.
Apple won't refund our money as the purchase was more than 60 days ago by the time I gave up troubleshooting and reported the problem.

Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
Great to have the Video back

HT1918 Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?

Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?
Historically, I have my own laptop and my 8 year old daughter has a laptop as well. I also have an iPad and iPhone. In the past, I have managed all devices with the same apple ID, and used my laptop as the main library, storing all music, apps, video, etc. I then just selectively copied things to the other authorized devices, so my daughter's laptop has a copy of her music under my apple ID. Now she has her own iPod touch, so I would live to move her music and apps to her own iTunes library with a name I create for her on her laptop and iPod.
Is this possible without having to repurchase all of her media?

You can try these Apple directions

Or buy a 3rd-party ipod manager such as CopyTrans.

ITunes Store Purchase Playback Issues since 9.0.1.79 Updgrade

Since I upgraded to version 9.0.1.79 last week, all my iTunes Store purchases are warbled when I try to play them in ITunes. CD burns work fine - just my 1000+ purchases won't play properly. I reapplied update but no better. I'm afraid to sync my iPod and I'm getting angry. Anyone with similar issues?

Sorry, it was 9.1.0.79 upgrade

How do I move music from itunes store for an old ipod to a new itouch device

I just bought a new itouch, and wanted to transfer my music from itunes to new device. do I just plug in and go or will it be a security issue?

That's basically what you do...
Connect the iPod and select it in iTunes. If the iTunes sidebar is not showing, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click on it to select it.
With the iPod selected in iTunes, there is a row of buttons toward the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. If the iTunes music library is small and fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Then click Apply. With this setting, everything in the iTunes music library syncs to the iPod. Whenever you make a change to the iTunes library, such as adding new songs, iTunes automatically updates the iPod with the same changes, the next time it is connected (or when you click the Sync button). If this works for you, you don't have to read the rest.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. A convenient way to use this setting is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library. You can call it "iPod Songs," or whartever you want. From the iTunes music library, add the songs you want on the iPod, such as those iTunes Store purchases, to that playlist. Back on the iPod's Music screen, find "iPod Songs" under Playlists, and select (checkmark) it. When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod. Going forward, when you want to update the songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or when you click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

How can I stop my iTunes Store purchases automatically going onto my iPhone?

How can I stop my iTunes Store purchases automatically going onto my iPhone?
I've downloaded several thing, including Christmas songs, but do not want them on my iPhone anymore - but no matter what I do, every time I sync my phone, all my purchases revert back to the old names (purchased names, ie. "The Blue - EP" when I have renamed them to "The Blue") and then come up on my iPhone. Despire finding the song on my phone, swipping it to delete, it'll reappear later on.
I have also set up that only songs in a created playlist are to be on my iPhone, (these songs are not on it), yet they always appear.
How can I ensure the downloaded files DO NOT change names and stop going onto my iPhone every time I sync up?
Thank you.

It looks like you're trying to play a track bought from the iTunes store (or does it happen with other songs too?). Make sure you are logged in with the account the track was bought with.

I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country. Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are.
Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

Remove DRM from early itunes store purchases

The itunes help screen says, "If you already have iTunes Store purchases that are now available as iTunes Plus downloads, you may upgrade your existing purchases. To do so, visit the iTunes Store and follow the onscreen instructions."
If there are 'on screen instructions' I don't see them anywhere.
Ideas?
Thanks much

Unable to view iTunes Store purchase history

Hi All,
I'm unable to view my iTunes Store purchase history. When I try to do so from within iTunes itself I am taken to a seemingly blank store page, which seems to have no content according to VOiceOver, Apple's built-in screen reader. I've previously done this without a problem, so am rather annoyed.
Is there any alternate way of requesting a refund? Could I call and do so?
THanks!

You can use the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support (generally unless there is a problem with an item e.g. app doesn't work as described, film doesn't play etc. then purchases are considered final) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
