Music purchased on itunes now skipping/not recognized

I have an i4phone 4s and an iPad 2nd generation that suddenly music I've purchased and downloaded from the iTunes store is not syncing to my phone or ipad. I keep getting error notices that multiple songs I'm trying to sync "can not be converted"! Originally out of 400 songs on my apple products 1/2 wouldn't "convert" then each time I sync'd it would "convert" a few more now I've have probably 25 songs that are on my phone, are in my purchase history on my phone in iTunes but will not play and skip to the next song or several songs down the play list. When I pull up my account on iTunes, music that I've purchased recently doesn't show in my purchases but shows in my purchases in my iPhone/iPad. Oh, and yes, I've wiped the phone several times and tried to recover to an older version without success as it continues to want to upgrade me to 8.1.2 which is junk!
Is anyone else having this problem but me?

  • Music purchased on iTunes for Windows not showing on iPhone

    Bear with me here people. I am very experienced with Mac computers but know way too little about iDevices, iTunes, and especially Windows
    A friend bought an iPhone about 3 months ago and has downloaded purchased music from her PC to her phone successfully since the purchase. Apparently, starting in the last day or so, she purchased music via the iTunes store and now can't find the songs on her phone.
    So you have about as much info as I at this point. Any thoughts that I can relay to the lady in distress? A simple setting change?
    Thanks in advance,
    Allan

    The American Idol ones with the exception of this weeks stuff. If you search for David Cook via the wifi store you get some obscure artist but via the computer store you find all sorts of songs.

  • Music Purchased on iTunes will not play after 3.0.1 update

    Hello,
    I have a 3GS 32GB. Since upgrading to 3.0.1, music purchased from iTunes won't play. Other music will play. Purchased music will play from the library on my laptop.
    I have also been bitten by the failure to launch bug. Third party apps would not launch after the update. That problem has been solved, for now.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I has this same problem after upgrading my OS. I tried everything, reauthorizing, restoring, downloading new music (worked from iTunes not from iPhone). I got my apps to work by deleting them and redownloading but you can't do that for purchased music. Apple Support had me restore my iPhone as a new phone through iTunes (instead of restoring from a backup) after making sure EVERYTHING was backed up. Now everything works again and all my data is there and problem is solved. The only additional work I had was to reenter some settings that were lost.

  • Installing IOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone failed and now is not recognized by PC or itunes.  All troubleshooting has failed.  HELP!!!

    Installing IOS 5.1.1 on my iphone failed and now the phone will not show up on itunes and is not recognized by my PC.  I tried all troubleshooting Apple says to do minus uninstalling itunes.  My wifes iphone still works fine with the same cable and itunes on my PC.  ----- Help!

    Hello. I was like this yesterday after upgrading 5.1.1. The proccess failed and the iphone only showed the USB cable with the iTunes logo.
    What I did was connect the iphone to my wife's PC, and there, with a clean itunes installation, install a clean 5.1.1. Then, went back to my iMac and connect it again, and now it works.
    But now, with my iphone working as new, it still cannot be showed up in itunes. I am still working on it.
    Good luck!

  • Following a software update, I can no longer access/authorise music purchased via iTunes from my old Apple ID, which I have not used for 8  years, and no longer have password.  Any ideas how I can re-access/recover that music?

  • Itunes not letting me sync music which I've downloaded from CDs. Only taking music purchased on iTunes. WHAT IS GOING ON? Help

    iTunes is not syncing new music from CDs that I've downloaded only syncs music purchased from iTunes. Is this on purpose? Or another flaw with updates? Anyone have suggestions or fixes?

    I'm having the exact same problem, a total pain in the a$$. I tried restarting my computer and my iPhone to no avail. I have a MacBook pro and iPhone 4S and both are totally up to date software-wise. I would really like to listen to my music though.....

  • Trying to use music purchased from iTunes store with a home movie

    I am making a home movie for family use only in either iMovie or Final Cut Pro, but neither app will allow me to use music purchased from iTunes store. Why not? It's not a licensing issue b/c there is no distribution other than my family at a big birthday party. The music imports but acts as if it has no audio once the file is imported to either program. help!
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  
    ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Put the purchased songs into a playlist. Set iTunes burning options to burn AUDIO CDs. Burn the playlist to an audio CD (you can use a CD-RW if you don't want to waste a blank). After it is done, reimport the tracks off the CD. Now use the reimported versions in iMovie or FCP and they should work fine now.

  • Can royalty free music purchased in itunes be used on youtube?

    I would like to make video on Final Cut Pro X and would like to know where I can get royalty free music that I can add to my video to post on youtube? I have read a lot of info where people think they have acceptable music only to find out it is not acceptable.
    Can FCP X sound effects and music be used?

    The standard copy protected songs from iTunes can only be played on iPods, iPhones and iTunes enabled Motorola phones. I'm afraid it's against forum rules to discuss ways around this - "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store": Discussions Help & Terms of Use

  • Using music purchased from iTunes in a slideshow/DVD

    I purchased some music from iTunes to use for a slideshow that I am creating. I want to burn this slideshow to a DVD. Is this possible? I read in another forum that it was not. If this is correct, is there a way to work around this issue?

    Finding "a way to work around this issue" goes directly against the terms of usage for the forums in terms of discussing ways to get around copy protection methods.
    I would offer that my asking for a way to "work around" the problem may not have been the best choice of terms. It is one that is frequently used in other forums when users are discussing how to solve a problem. However, my intent was not to violate either copyright laws or the terms of use of this forum. Certainly it would be very foolish indeed to ask how to do so in a discussions site operated by the same company that produces the software in question!
    The DVD I am working on is for personal use, a slideshow of a family vacation. I purchased the music from iTunes to use in the DVD. I am aware that I can burn several CD's (5?) for each song I buy. I concluded, perhaps incorrectly, that this DVD would constitute one of the allowed burns.
    Copyrighted music is handled differently depending on which iLife application is being used. With Garageband, it is impossible to import DRM music into the program; any editing is obviously out of the question. Yet, the same musical selection can be imported into iMovie, and it is also possible to edit it.
    Perhaps my question should be: Do I have to follow any special procedure when burning a DVD that contains music purchased from iTunes? I remember seeing something about this some time ago; I have not been able to find that post. I was hoping to get the answer in this forum.

    Are you manually managing your songs?
    In itunes - music do you see checkmarks next to your musis/songs.  IF so go find your new songs click on it and then sync your music again.
