Itunes unable to play my purchased songs. . It gives the message unable to find the original.

itunes can't play some of my purchased songs. Those have an exclamation mark on the beginning of the line. It gives also the message "unable to find the original ..." It's probably in iMatch but I can't show it the way up there.
Thank you for your help

Unable to play some purchased songs on iphone4

Some of my music purchased either via itunes or iphone, will not play on iphone. also, when you select a song to play it will jump and play another song. i have tried synching, but still not working. can play all songs on computer via itunes. has anybody else had this issue? many thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have the same problem. I upgraded to a 4S and did a restore from iCoud. Everything loaded but many songs will not play and others jump to another song. I made sure my new phone was authorized (click on Store with the iPhone selected in the left column of iTunes and then click on Authorize this computer) I also reset the iPhone by holding the Home and Power buttons simultaneously. No improvement.
This seems to be a problem relatd to the chip set in the specific phone. My iPhone 4 had no problem with the same list of songs.
Heading back to the store.

Itunes problems with new nano, purchased songs

Hello all. I am having a few problems with my itunes and newly purchased nano that hopefully you guys can give me some advice on. First of all, when i plug in my nano, it does not recognize it unless i close itunes and reopen it. Then, it takes a few minutes to open and acts like it is a new nano every time i open it. Meaning, it asks me to name the nano and asks me to apply all the settings etc. After that it works. I then can eject it. If I then re open itunes, with my nano not plugged in, itunes thinks that my nano is plugged in and says its corrupted. If i attempt to do anything in itunes, it freezes up.
In an unrelated problem, i am forced to authorize my computer to play my purchased songs every time i open itunes. It never remembers when I authorize it.
Thanks in advance for your help i definitely appreciate it!

OK, could not resist. I did go ahead and put my old run history back into the new & now restored Nano. No problems. Everything is fine. (Be remember, this is not something that is supported or approved by Apple or Nike.)
There may be no connection between adding the old run data files to the new Nano and the sound & freezing problems. Others have already complained about those.
However, what I will say is that you should never mess around with the Nike+ xml "Preferences" file or the "Best" file. These are invisible for a reason. You can put your old xml run data files into your "latest" folder and thus get them on your new Nano, but you CANNOT change your Totals on your new Nano no matter what you muck around with. However, if you try it and things go wrong, doing a "restore" should save the day.
And it should save the day for sound problems and recurring Nano freezes unless you have a defective Nano.

Unable to sync newly purchased songs to my ipod nano

I have a new computer running Windows7 with Itunes and am unable to sync newly purchased songs to my shuffle device. I can, however, sync purchased songs from my Ipod shuffle to my computer.

In iTunes 11 use the View menu to show the Sidebar or left column. Select your phone there. Then the familiar row of tabs will appear to the right. Select Music, scroll down to add what you want then scroll to the bottom to find Apply or Sync.

Itunes states that my computer is not authorized to download an audio book I purchased from itunes. No problem with purchased songs however.

Hello susanserio
Try Deauthorize your account and then Authorize the account to see if any changes occur. Also there may a resolution in the second article that can be helpful as well.

Not sure what you mean.
Your playlists are only where you put them.

When I try to purchase a gift card I get the message unable to complete purchase now try again later. This has been going on for a week and half. I've called support they say everything is fine, but when I try again same message comes up. How can I get this fix?

Have you tried the on-line iTunes store support staff: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html to see if they can resolve this?

Whenever I play a certain song on my iPod, it will stop in the middle and skip to the next song in the album

Whenever I play this one song on my iPod nano, it stops in the middle and skips to the next song. It's the same for iTunes. I had looked it up on other forums and other people with the same problem were told that they had to reinstall iTunes or something, not sure I'll really have to do that. Thank you for any advice!

Well, the problem is with iTunes, too. It will still skip on there. Will I have to delete it from there and download it again.

Music purchased on ipad wont play on computer. I get a message which says that the computer is not authorised to play the track but when I enter the password I get the message saying that the computer is already authorised. I have the opposite problem transfering some but not all music from computer to ipad. Can anyone help?

Interesting. Maybe it is more of a DRM issue than an Apple ID ownership issue. There is actually an iTunes Support section here on the discussion boards. If you wish to continue troubleshooting, you might post your question over there and refer to this discussion thread. You can also contact someone in Apple iTunes Support.

When trying to install itunes on my PC, I get the message (unable to remove the older version of Bonjour as well as the message unable to remove the older version of Apple software update). Please advise how to proceed.

Please help with this problem. When trying to install itunes on my HP520 PC, I get the error message (unable to remove the older version of Bonjour as well as the message unable to remove the older version of Apple software update).

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

I can't log into iMessage; I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use".

I have iOS5 installed on my iPad and iPhone. I can't log into iMessage on my iPad as I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". Can anyone help me solve this?

I've found the answer to this (at least for me)!
The problem is I have 2 AppleIDs. One from before MobileMe which I use to make iTunes purchases (which is linked to my @me.com email) and the second is my MobileMe email address used for MobileMe syncing.
Each AppleID has to be linked to a separate email address. Because my iTunes Apple ID is linked and verified to my @me.com address. My @me.com AppleID address can't be verified.....quite confusing at first but starts to make sense once you get your head around it!
See this thread for futher explanation: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16414211#16414211

How to stop iTunes creating a new library on my hard drive when it can't find the one I have created and told it to use on an external drive?

I have quite alot of music etc so to save hard drive space I have created my iTunes library on an external hard drive. If I ever accidentaly open iTunes when that external hard drive isn't attached iTunes makes a whole new library from scratch on my computers hard drive. I find this highly frustrating as I often open Itunes to find no music as it have changed librarys and I have to re-load my actual library: very frustraiting and time consuming.
I would like to know if it is possible to lock iTunes some how to stop it from changing folders when it can'f find the library, or atleast give me a warning that it can't find the library before creating a whole new one????

Tunes works through a database file which has a list of your tracks. When you click on a track it looks up in the database which file it needs to play, then plays the file. If something breaks this link then you get ! The two main ways to get ! are to move a file from where iTunes expects it to be, or to delete it altogether. I don't know which has happened in your case. You can try using Spotlight to find a file for the one referred to in a broken link. If the files have been moved then they need to be moved back. If they were deleted completely you will have to restore them from a backup or download them again from the iTunes Store and rebuild your library.

I tried updating iTunes to version 11.1.1, but installation fails each time even when I did it manually as was suggested. The message I receive is: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem"

Hi hongkongpom,
Just wanted to say that after posting the problem, I had a chat with an iTunes' Tech Support, her name is Rebekah. My problem was resolved after that. Will list the chat history below in hopes that it may help you as well.
Good luck!
Samia
Chat Transcript
Friday, October 4, 2013 05:55 AM
Duration: 81 minutes 28 seconds
Rebekah:
Welcome to AppleCare chat support. Please give me a moment to look over your information.
Rebekah:
Hi, Samia! My name is Rebekah. If we get disconnected, please chat us back. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/contactEnter the case number from the initial email we sent you. This gives the next advisor you chat with immediate access to your case history.
Rebekah:
Could you please confirm your serial number? I want to be sure we provide the best service possible for you, Samia!
SAMIA:
Sure, it's 8L8395UY2C5
SAMIA:
My problem is with iTunes.
Rebekah:
Thanks for that confirmation. Just a heads up, this is iOS Tech Support. We do support iPod touches, iPads, and iPhones, but not the iPod classic. But no worries! I can get you in touch with a phone Advisor who can get you in touch with the department that specializes in iPod classics and would be able to better assist you. Would that be OK?
SAMIA:
I wasn't able to install the new version of iTunes (version 11.1.1). The installation keeps failing. The they suggested the I install it manually and that failed too. I will attach the message I received.
SAMIA:
I don't have a problem with iPod.
SAMIA:
Just iTunes
Rebekah:
No problem! We can certainly troubleshoot iTunes as much as possible. It may come to the point that you may have to transferred, but we can do as much as possible during this chat!
Rebekah:
Thanks for the screenshot. It is a bit small so I am unable to fully see the message that you are receiving. What is the error message you are receiving?
SAMIA:
This is the message I received in case you weren't able to open the attachment: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2324."
Rebekah:
Thanks for that info!
SAMIA:
Pleasure!
Rebekah:
What version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7) do you have?
SAMIA:
Windows 7
SAMIA:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Rebekah:
Thanks for that confirmation. I do apologize for the delay, Samia. I am researching this error code now. You mentioned trying to install iTunes manually. To be sure I am on the same page, what steps did you take to do that?
SAMIA:
Well when the indsatalltion failed I was given instructions to select Download Only from Tools and then install manually. When I did it, I window popped up with the following items: - AppleApplicationSupport
SAMIA:
- AppleMobileDeviceSupport64
SAMIA:
- Bonjour64
SAMIA:
iTunes64
SAMIA:
SetupAdmin
SAMIA:
I selected Repair in all of them instead of Remove and all worked but iTunes64
SAMIA:
That's when I received the message that I sent you earlier.
SAMIA:
By the way, this is the fir st time something like this occured. I never had problems with installation before.
Rebekah:
I completely understand what you're saying. Since that Repair did not resolve the issue, our best option is to uninstall iTunes and its components and redownload it. To do this, we will follow the steps in this article: Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Rebekah:
First, we will want to quit iTunes and/or Apple Software Update if those are open at this time.
SAMIA:
Rebekah, the instructions you gave says, "For Windows XP, follow these steps to remove and reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows XP."
SAMIA:
I closed all applications
SAMIA:
Also, my iTunes doesn't open anymore after the new failed installation.
Rebekah:
The section that says "For Windows XP…" is in case we opened up the wrong article, as we have the one for Windows Vista, 7, or 8. There is a link to click ("these steps") in those directions that would take us to the article for uninstalling on a Windows XP.
Rebekah:
So no worries! We have the right article!
Rebekah:
On the computer, we will want to click on Start > Control Panel. In Control Panel, we will click the "Uninstall a program" link.
SAMIA:
I thought so after doing a little exploration.
SAMIA:
done
Rebekah:
Alright, we'll want to select iTunes from the list of currently installed programs. Then we will click Uninstall. When asked if you would like to remove iTunes, let's click Yes.
Rebekah:
After the uninstallation is complete, we don't want to restart your computer if you're prompted.
SAMIA:
Done
Rebekah:
Then if you see other iTunes entries on the list, we'll want to remove them the same way.
Rebekah:
Then we will remove all instances of Apple Software Update the same way you removed iTunes.
SAMIA:
Okay, but do I have to remoce iCloud as well?
SAMIA:
Rebekah, I received the same error message again when uninstalling
Rebekah:
We actually do not need to remove iCloud. After the Apple Software Update, we will want to remove all instances of Apple Mobile Device Support
Rebekah:
How strange! Are you able to click past that and allow the process to continue or has it stopped it completely?
SAMIA:
I am unable to uninstall iTunes either
SAMIA:
Stopped completely
SAMIA:
I treied clicking Repair
Rebekah:
Alright, after trying the Repair option, let's see if it will allow us to continue uninstalling or not.
SAMIA:
I tried that but unfortunately, it isn't working. I still get that same message with error code 2324.
Rebekah:
This error code is not something that I am finding in my sources, Samia. So there is a chance that it is being caused with the Windows computer itself. However, I did find a link that may be able to help with uninstalling iTunes from Windows' support site: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
SAMIA:
Rebekah, you're a genius! It worked! iTunes is no longer there. What next?
Rebekah:
Awesome! I'm glad that worked!
Rebekah:
To be sure I am on the same page, what was the last component we uninstalled?
SAMIA:
iTunes
SAMIA:
Shall I remove the Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update
Rebekah:
That is correct! However, we do want to uninstall it in the order I mentioned above. So Apple Software Update first, Apple Mobile Device Support next, and then Apple Mobile Device Support.
SAMIA:
Got it, but is the second one to uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support OR Apple pplication Support?
Rebekah:
The second one is Apple Mobile Device Support.
Rebekah:
The Application Support will be the last component we uninstall.
SAMIA:
Thanks! I'm on it.
SAMIA:
Done! ll 3 are gone, well 4 with iTunes. Now what?
Rebekah:
Awesome! Also, I just noticed that I accidentally typed Apple Mobile Device Support twice, I do apologize for any confusion! Now we will remove all instances of Bonjour and then remove all instances of Apple Application Support.
SAMIA:
There was only 1 instance with Bonjour. I don't know what the instances are for Apple Application Support
Rebekah:
Yes, Bonjour is often only listed once. Is the Apple Application Support listed at all?
SAMIA:
No
SAMIA:
Since I removed it
Rebekah:
Oh, perfect! If it was removed, we should be set!
Rebekah:
We have removed iTunes and its components now! From here, our next step is to restart the computer. Then once you reboot, you can redownload iTunes from apple.com/itunes
Rebekah:
That should allow you to download iTunes!
SAMIA:
Shall I downloaad the latest vesion?
Rebekah:
You will want to first restart the computer as shown in the article. That will ensure that this process goes smoothly and that everything was removed correctly! Then you can try downloading iTunes again.
SAMIA:
Okay, thanks Rebekah!
Rebekah:
You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help! And of course if you have any issue after the reboot and download, you can always chat us back, as chat is open 24 hours! You will just need to give your case number and the next Advisor would have all my notes!
SAMIA:
Thanks again for all your help, for I couldn't have managed with out it. Have a nice day!
Rebekah:
You're very welcome! I know how important iTunes is and I'm glad we could get you on a path to resolution!
Rebekah:
I hope you have a lovely day!
Rebekah:
It's been a pleasure speaking with you! Thanks for chatting with us Samia. If you don't have any more questions, select End Chat from the upper left corner of the chat window.
SAMIA:
Will do, thanks.
