Listening to purchased music on computer??

When I click on songs I previously have purchased in my library it tells me to authorize my computer. I have done that but the pop up still comes up every time and won't allow me to listen to music. Any ideas?

Alright I have done some work to see if I could better present my problem. I checked the multiple authorization thing, and that was not it. A few months ago I got a new computer and many of the itunes problems were still not reconciled from copying my old music back to the hard drive. But I am still having a problem with two songs, both of which I bought from itunes. When I click on them from itunes the error message I get says, "This computer is not authorized to play 'name of song' Would you like to authorize it?" in small writing below on the error it says, "To play this song you must authorize this computer to play songs purchased using the account 'cjfunkhouser'. You may authorize up to 5 computers for each account." My account is already authorized, but it is authorized under the accounnt [email protected] not just cjfunkhouser if that makes a difference.
thanks for any further help

Unable to listen to purchased music

I recently bought the 2nd gen iPod Touch and bought an album at the Apple Store(last week)... Everything went ok till today... I am not able to listen to the purchased music anymore, the only ones working are those I copied from my computer... Need help and fast cause I spent 10 bucks on those songs!!

If you are running a version of iTunes older than iTunes 6.0.4, the first thing to do is update to 6.0.4. Choose About iTunes from the Help menu in iTunes. If you are already at 6.0.4, or if updating does not help, the next thing to try is to deauthorize your computer for the iTMS account using the Deauthorize Computer option in the Help menu. Then play of the iTMS songs and re-enter your authorization info.

Why am I forced to be connected to internet in order to listen to purchased music with iTunes on iPad? I have wifi only iPad.

I tried listening to my music with my wi-fi only ipad on iTunes while driving my car. iTunes said I needed to be connected to the Internet in order to find the iTunes store. I don't want the iTunes store, I just want to listen to my music on iPad. Can I bypass the need to be connected and just get to the music? If not..... WHY NOT????

You don't need the internet to listen to your music. You're probably trying to access the iTunes store app, you need to go to the iPod app, and that is where your music will be if you have synced it over from your computer or purchased it directly.

Recovering Purchased Music after Computer Stolen?

Recently my computer was stolen and my iPod completely broke while I was working in Africa. I have since purchased a new computer (thanks mostly to very generous people, thank you!) I was wondering if there was a way to redownload the music I purchased from iTunes onto my new computer as the whole thing was lost the old one. I couldn't update my iPod because it was broken. There's probably no way around this and I'm going to have to struggle with no music for a while, but I was hoping that people much much smarter than myself might be able to help out. Thank you.

If your iPod had been working, the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
However, the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

Cannot Listen To Purchased Music?

Hi, my iphone is not letting me listen to any of my purchased music ever since the last sync. I click the track, but nothing plays? How do i fix this?

Ya, it could be that. Do a restore, and don't try to prematurely cancel a sync using the iPhone, especially by unplugging it. Safest way would be to just let it finish or cancel it using iTunes. When you slide the unlock bar to cancel the sync, many problems occur, and the phone usually won't sync until you do a restore.

Purchased songs not showing up in "purchased music" after computer migratio

I recently had an imac stolen that had a dozen or so songs on it that I had purchased through the iTunes store. Since then, I've obtained a replacement imac (now running 10.5.1 cf. 10.4.11 before), deauthorized the old imac, authorized the new one and restored my files from a Retrospect backup. While my purchased music files still exist, and show up in the library they no longer appear under the "purchased music" selection. Is there a trick to getting them to be recognized as purchased songs?
Thanks in advance,
alan

I purchased a track, it appears on my iphone 5s okay but isn't anywhere on my itunes. there isn't anything in Purchsed under iStore.
I had my iphone plugged in when I purchsed the track, so should have been on both iphone and itunes, much like purchasing an app.
Any ideas?
have IOS 7.1 loaded, is this a known issue (to us not apple)?

Listening to Purchased Music on Different Windows XP Account

My sister frequently purchases songs at the iTunes store. I like a lot of the songs she purchases but I don't wanna waste a CD by burning just a few songs on it. Does anyone know how to get her purchased music on her iTunes transferred over to my iTunes which is on a different account on my Windows XP?

I can't play my purchased music via computer while offline cuz it's all on the cloud.

I just activated iTunes 11 on a new PC. After successfully downloading old purchases from the iTunes Store, I find I'm dependent on the Cloud -- which means I'm dependent on an internet connection. This ***** because the internet goes off and on constantly and my music stops and starts along with it.

Listen to purchased music on new computer

I had a mac but something happened to it and wont start up. I also have a Dell that has iTunes but i never put the music on that one, w/ no iPod, is there anyway to listen to music that i have already purchased (on mac) on my new computer.
Windows XP

You can only download a purchase from the iTunes Store once, so you'd have to copy the music from backups or from directly your Mac. If it can't boot, then you'd have to pull the hard drive out of your Mac (presuming the drive still works), mount it in an external USB case, purchase one of the utilities that allow a Windows system to mount a Mac-formatted drive, and copy your music from the Mac's drive to the PC.

Re-buying previously purchased music (new computer)

Hi guys,
I just installed iTunes on a new laptop. I haven't had an ipod for a couple of years, but naturally the old itunes account is still there. I can't find the music I bought back then (which makes sense) but I also don't seem able to re-buy the tunes. I'm sure there's a really obvious solution I'm missing.
Cheers!

The tunes you bought are still where you left them: on the hard drive of the computer from which you bought them, and any backups you may have made.
You have a few options:
If the songs are on your iPod, you can put them into the new iTunes using the "Transfer Purchases" feature. (This one does not help in your case.)
You can contact iTunes Customer Service and tell them there were extenuating circumstances and see if they will bend the policy and allow a free re-download. They are not obligated to do so, but they occasionally do.
You cannot re-buy them from the iTunes Store with your current account, but you can go buy them from the amazon.com MP3 Download Store and add the MP3s to your iTunes library.
Finally - you probably knew this was coming - please start keeping a backup of your music and other valuable files.
Edit: I meant amazon.co.uk for you!

Recovering purchased music when computer crashes

My friends computer has crashed and she lost all of her downloaded music. This made me think about the music I have purchased through the iTunes music store... If my computer crashes and I lose my downloads, is there a way to recover the music I have purchased? Is there a record of my purchases and can I get them again without repurchasing them?

Store policy states that downloads are a one time deal & it's the user's responsibility to backup important files. The store will even send you a reminder to backup your files after every 10-15 downloads. I would strongly suggest that you begin a regular backup program for your music by burning data CD/DVD's or using an external HD. Do not count on the store to allow you to re-download, in case of a disaster, backing up, now, will save you a lot of grief if disaster strikes.

HT1386 ipod continues to ask for internet connection to listen to purchased music

When walking, I continuously receive a message stating that i must be connected to the internet to listen to music I purchased, even though I have downloaded the song. Why?

Because you have not fully downloaded the music. With wifi available, delete and redownload.
