My iTunes won't let me play songs from my iPod saying I am unauthorized...
...I had to replace my Macbook Pro, I now have a new one. When I plug in my iPod it says it can't upload the songs because I am not authorized and I need to go to store > authorize. I did, 5 times and it said it was successful, I am only on 2 out of 5. But my iPod still says I am not authorized to play the songs on my new computer! Please help, i want my songs back.
The easiest way I think is to use Music Rescue and take the tracks from your iPod to a folder your new computer (or an external HD) and then import them to iTunes on the new computer manually. Once the tracks are in iTunes then reconfigure the iPod to the new computer.
Apple doesn't make an easy way to do this within the Apple equipment for security reasons and as you probably already know, an iPod is linked to the computer that you use to update or charge the battery and the only way to recharge the iPod independent of the linked computer is to use a wall charger or the like.
I think this is the problem that you are describing ..... good luck.

Itunes won't let me play songs from search results
Hi, I'm hoping someone can please help me out. Since I updated itunes on Windows 7 I have been unable to play any songs which come in as results when using the search feature. This means I need to manually search through the library to find individual songs. I've since updated it again to 11.1.3 and it's not resolved it. Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks!
I have this same problem, however, my search feature consistently works as long as I do not input more than one character. For example: if I search for "ani" it finds Ani Difranco but I won't be able to click any of the search results. If I search for "a" I will receive search results that are clickable. I am also running the latest iTunes version and cannot resolve this issue.

ITunes won't let me play songs I purchased
Hello,
I am trying to play music in my iTunes that I had purchased via my AOL account, and iTunes will not let me play them. The screen comes up to sign in with my member ID and it will not let me access the song. Prior to today, I never had this problem as I got rid of AOL and now have a new Apple Id. Does anyone know why itunes is not letting me play prior songs that I purchased from another account?
Thank youI'm having the same problem. I had an earthlink account ages ago, and made my first purchases with this account. Now I can't play any of the music I purchased with that old account - according to my last iPod update, that's 86 songs, and I really don't want to type in my new authorization info 86 times.
My earthlink account has been dead for years. This issue just showed up. I think it may be related to the iTunes 7.x upgrade.
Can someone please tell us how to tell iTunes to authorize all purchases made with an old account? Requiring us to re-authorize one song at a time is amateur. I expect more from Apple. -
ITunes won't let me import songs from folders
hey for some reason iTunes won't let me import some songs, but it will others. I've checked and there is no difference between the songs, they're both MP3's, they have the same quality and they're even by the same artist!
Any ideas why and how I can fix it are helpful.I having the same problem. I noticed that some videos were missing from my itunes TV Shows playlist. Also, when I tried downloading a file into my ipod, I got an error message stating that the file was not compatiable with my iPod. Only I got the file from iTunes! I've tried deleting everything and reloading with the same results. It will not upload several files. Most of which are already AAC. I've tried adding, importing, and copy and paste with all resulting in failure.
This is becoming a total pain in the rear. If it's not one thing, it's another. I mean every since iTunes 7, the bugs keep mounting, and that before I switch to a Vista OS. -
I transferred my library to a new computer. Now we have a different ID and it won't let us play most of our library? It prompts us to use our old apple ID with a different email and lost password? Any ideas how to be able to play our extensive, expensive catalog?
All content that you download from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, and it can't be transferred to or merged with another account - so you will need to authorise that old account on that computer if you want to use its content.
If you still have access to the email accoun then you can try getting the password reset via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password
If you don't have access to the email account then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to the account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -
ITunes won't let me transfer songs to my iPod
iTunes used to let me transfer songs fine, but now it transfers a few and then tells me the file is "corrupt" and that the disc "cannot be read from or written to." Please help -- restoring the iPod hasn't worked at all!
See this troubleshooting article.

Itunes won't let me sync songs onto my ipod from my itunes library
i just want my music on my compuer on my ipod lol
What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

When I click on a song, or select the whole list, and try to drag them toward the new playlist I created, nothing happens. They don't drag. I think my original itunes folder on my computer was messed up by one of my young children. I haven't used itunes on this computer yet, this was my first time adding songs and when it didn't work I deleted the app and then reinstalled it from the apple website.
I truly appreciate anyone's help... High School Volleyball starts tomorrow and guess who has to burn a CD to rock the gymYou can only populate a smart playlist using the playlist's settings since that's what makes it smart.

I tried all these steps and iTunes still won't let me play songs I paid for... Every time I authorize, it repeats that it's already authorized, but won't play because it's not authorized ... Catch 22
Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

Switched computers due to a crash. I authorised the new one. It won't let me play songs in my library that were purchased from I-tunes. Please help.

I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes
It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?
It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

Itunes won't let me move songs?
When I try and move a list of songs from my iPod, to a newly created playlist it won't let me do it? Can anyone shed any light?
Thanks
Btw, I am on a Mac Book Pro Retina, latest updates on everything. If that makes a difference?iTunes only lets you move items purchased from the iTunes Store from an i-device to a computer. You can copy anything the other way.
