My purchased music will not play!

I bought around five songs from the iTunes music store since getting my iPod. They all played fine until recently when I discovered that my iPod simply returns to the main screen (the one with music, photos, shuffle songs, settings, etc.) a second or two after selecting one of the songs. This only seems to happen with music that I have purchased from iTunes.
I recently downloaded iTunes to a friend's computer. As my friend is Korean, this particular version of iTunes is in Korean. Is it possible that, since I do not understand Korean, that I accidentally selected something through iTunes that caused the problem. If so, is there a way I might reverse it?
Yep, I'm probably an idiot.

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

  • Purchased music will not play on iPod after iTunes 6.0.1 (3)

    After upgrading to iTunes 6.0.1 (3) and then syncing my iPod Photo I can no longer play songs purchased in iTunes on my iPod (cds copied to iTunes play fine). The music (and album art) for the iTunes purchased shows up on the iPod, but the iPod just quickly cycles through any purchased music without playing it - this applies to all purchased music (recently purchased and stuff purchased 9 months ago when I got my iPod). The music plays fine using iTunes on my laptop. I have the latest firmware update on the iPod Photo (1.2).
    Any thoughts/help are appreciated.

    seems like Apple wants us to illegaly obtain the songs from now on. You know the story about starving musician, poor janitor at studio, well it is not important now.
    I am done with being cool, now i want something that will actually work. lets see how long will it take for iTunes update to come accros, and will anyone in Apple say we are sorry guys, we screwed up. hmmm, maybe refund for all the songs you purchased would be fair, you know guys we sold you and told you it will work on your coputer, but look surprise they dont. no, not even crappy explanation, just new update.

  • Itunes purchased music will not play on Ipod

    I have had an Ipod since second generation around 2004. It lasted me until about two weeks ago and i recently bought a new fifth generation. When 7.0 came out my older ipod would not play my purchased music and suddenly started to give me errors(unhappy ipod, and folder). I took it into the genius bar and i was told that the hard drive had died. I think that is a load of hogwash. I was able to "revive" it to only have it die again. The new Ipod has the same problem with the purchased music. I have tried the 5 R's, I have reloaded my library, everything. I thought that possibly if the files were on a shared network it messed it up, but i have unshared everything. Nothing seems to work but reloading the purchased music from a cd that has been burned. I dont want to take the time to do that for over 350 songs. Are there any suggestions from a real Apple tech? And will this be SOLVED?

  • I recently purchased a new computer and tried to move my itunes music to the new PC, I am not savay on computers, but music will not play on new PC, error (!) will not play and have to locate.  Why is this please help.

    please help, someone that doesn't have the savay on moving music from an old pc to a new pc.  Music will not play message comes up and have to search. also purchased music from iPhone and does not show on my music library on PC.  This is very frustrating.  Thank you

    It all depends on exactly how you move the library from one machine to the other. The database holding information about your library is normally in a folder called iTunes, with the media in a subfolder called iTunes Media. In this layout you can usually copy the entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other and it will work. If the media folder is split to a new location however then often the links to tracks will fail on a new computer.
    You shoud find that the FindTracks script is able to repair the links in your library.
    I'm not sure I know what is going on with the purchased music, however if you enable Edit > Preferences > Store > Automatic Downloads > Music you should be able to recover your past store purchases.

  • Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..Thank u for your help.

    Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. 64 gig. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..I use windows XP but don't believe this is an issue since i have read posts saying this is not the problem..right now am converting my higher bit rate music to see if that changes anything. I also turned off my unit and the next thing am going to do is a restore if this doesn't work. Anyone find a fix for this yet? I also see that this is not a unique problem to Gen 2 units and is occuring on newer units as well..thank you all for any advise...

    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to.  To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song.  Repeat as necessary.

  • How come my music will not play without wifi??

    How come my music will not play without wifi??

    It happens when you download from two or more different Apple IDs often. It says you must waut 90 days before you can play it without wifi. So in 90 days, try to download again.
    Good luck!

    Hi klivak,
    If you are having difficulties with playing certain tracks purchased from the iTunes Store in iTunes, I would suggest deleting those songs and then downloading them again. See this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Music will not play from iTunes during a slideshow that is run from flickr. ATV says turn on homesharing...it already is on!  HELP!!!!

    Music will not play during a slideshow launched from Flickr.  After choosing music and starting slideshow, the screen says "loading" and it never stops.  Under the computers section it says, turn on home sharing in iTunes on the computer with the music library.  It is on but apple tv wont recognize it.  I've signed out and signed back in over and over and home sharing is on but music wont play.  Is this a bug with flickr?  Music will play when i launch a slideshow from the iPad but it doesnt have as many cool options for slideshows as flickr does.  I want the flickr slideshow to play with music!!!  Grrrrrrrr!!!!!  Can anyone help???   

    ok, major miracle.  it is now working.  here is how i fixed it, and it was a stroke of luck to even find this.  opened iTunes, went to edit, then to preferences.  box pops up, went to the sharing icon and clicked share my local library on my local network.  then scrolled down and checked all the boxes that were applicable.  for the heck of it i went through all the other headings to see what else might be hiding from me.  i never thought this would do anything but went to ATV, selected flickr, chose some music and wa-la....its playing.  also, under the computers heading, it still does not show my iTunes library but clearly its there someplace.  oh well, it works...i'm happy!  your reply inspired me to keep working so thank you for that!
