My friend's iPhone won't play my music I bought from the iTunes Store.

My friend has an iPhone 5 with music from his laptop. His laptop is authorized to play music I purchase from the iTunes store, but for some reason his phone won't play those songs. Can somebody explain why, and help me get his iPhone to play those songs? Thanks.

Try this...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I've been using Ringtone Maker to add ringtones to my iPhone. The app is now telling me my music I bought from the iTunes store is not exportable. I downloaded a new app called Ringer and it says my song "has no audio tracks". What am I doing wrong?

Help! My iphone won't sync on my laptop, even though the itunes stores says it is authorised. We have 4/5 computers authorised at home so it should work. I'm a simple soul so a simple explanation would be lovely thanks!

Do you get an error message when trying to sync?

I have just purchased a new pc and when I try to play 2 separate albums that I bought from the itunes store I get a message that my computer is not authorized. I then follow the steps to authorize it and the same thing happens when I attempt to play this

Just purchased a new pc with windows 8. Transferred over my itunes. With 2 different albums in my library, when I attempt to play this music I get a message saying my computer is not authorized. I then sign in to authorize the computer, itunes tells me it is indeed authorized, I attempt to play this music again and I get the same "your computer is not authorized" message again, and again....
Any help out there on this one would be appreciated. If my question is not clear enough I will attempt to help.
Thank you,
mike

Sorry. Your info is gone.
You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly. You should have set up syncing from day one.
As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
Very sorry.

HT203167 i want the ringtone onmy iphone that i bought from the itunes store why cant i find or use it? help!

Did you download the content? If so, simply sync it to the device.

I paid for songs from the itunes store and they are in m4a if i paid for them why can't i load them on a card to play in my car?

why can i not copy songs i bought from the itunes store to a card to play in my car stereo.
what is m4a?

M4A is another name (actually, the file extension) for the AAC audio format. It is used in iTunes, but frequently has compatibility problems when used outside of Apple-land.
Does your car player expect MP3 format? If so you can convert your files by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Also, unless you enjoy doing format conversions, you also have the option to buy your music in MP3 format in the first place, from another music download store, e.g. Amazon MP3.
MP3 can be used in iTunes, iPod, iPhone and just about every other player, program, and device.

Help! movies i bought in the itunes store willl not sync to my iphone

I recently purchased rocky from the itunes store. As soon as the movie finished downloading, I attempted to put it on my iphone, but when i did this an error message appeard which said that rocky could not be copied onto my iphone because it cannot be played on my iphone. I then tryed syncing another video i bought from the itunes store, and the result was the same. Is this a problem with my iphone, or do certain movies on itunes just not play on the iphone?

That is odd as I didn't have this problem with mine. Do the movies play on iTunes okay?

Can the first generation iPad play an 720p HD video downloaded from the iTunes store?

Hello fellow Apple users!
I am just wondering if the iPad 1 could play a 720p video downloaded from the iTunes store.
I'd love to watch a movie in HD but I don't wanna waste money on something I can't consume.
Thanks a lot!

Iphone won't play purchased music

Songs ripped from cds play fine, even songs purchased from the iphone play fine. But songs purchased on my mac now won't play on the iphone. I have been away from home for a couple of weeks, so no sync recently. The music stops, the pause button changes to a play button, and pressing play doesn't work; the pause button quickly shifts back to play button. Thanks for any help.

If you have all music that was purchased from the iTunes store in one playlist and you are syncing selected playlists, deselect this playlist under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync to remove all music that was purchased from the iTunes store from your iPhone. Follow this by reselecting the playlist followed by a sync to re-transfer the music to your iPhone to see if this makes any difference.
If you don't have a single playlist or multiple playlists for all music that was purchased from the iTunes store to deselect and reselect, deselect Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync which will remove all music from your iPhone. Follow this by reselecting Sync Music and selecting the playlists, artists, or genres you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.

I got some books from the itunes store and put them into my library. I created a playlist so that I could burn them to cds. The title is there but no contents. It won't even play the playlist. How do I get the contents of the book?

This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

My itunes on my iMac for the passed few weeks now keeps on comming with the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPhone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
or "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPad. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?"
This while everything was working fine.
Please advise what I can do with this message.
When I press autorize, it comes up with a unknow appleID. When I use apple ID's that work - it comes with the message that the computer is autorized. but then the autorization message comes back.

You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

Why won't my iPhone 4 on iOS5 sync updated apps from the iTunes store?

Did you by any chance sync the phone to a different computer that uses a different Apple ID?
