  • My purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message " an unknown error occurred -50" Itunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

    I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
    I went to Music, then Artists.
    From there I chose the album.
    The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
    I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
    (Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)

  • TV Shows wont play

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me?
    I just purchased a TV show, but when I try to play it, it wont play. It asks me to Authorize my computer, but the thing is, it's already authorized. I tried to de-authorize it and re-authorize it, but it still doesn't work. And it's not just this one episode, I just noticed I cant watch anything I have purchased in the past.
    Help?

    There could be a few different things causing that.
    If iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorise the computer, the following documents are worth checking through:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

  • Movies and some TV Shows wont play on iPhone even though they appear in the Movies section

    I have an iPhone 4S and my old 3GS and after upgrading to iOS 5 neiher will play all of the Movies and TV Shows that sync across from iTunes.
    I already have issues with incorrect media that won't sync based on compatibility grounds, but these videos have synced onto the devices but show up in the Videos secion as greyed out options that can't be clicked.
    In some cases two of the three episodes will play but the third is just a grey option.
    Does anyone know what is causing this?
    The problem exisits both with video ripped from DVD's and video purchased from the iTunes store.

    Hey there ImpossibleXY,
    It sounds like you have some items on the phone taking up space but you cannot find them to delete them.
    First, if you have not already start by restarting the phone and your computer, then try the sync again to see if it updates correctly.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    If the issue persists I would next backup restore the device with iTunes to see if that refreshes the space correctly on the phone.

  • Purchased tv shows wont play

    I bought an entire season of a tv show, watched part of it. I tried to watch one today and "the original file was not found. Would you like to locate it" error message came up. When I clicked on that, nothing was found.
    TV shows don't expire and I have the current version of ITunes installed, so why won't they play? Any help is appreciated!

    Did you download it directly to the iPod?
    Sync from iTunes?
    What model iPod do you have? On the 4G and later can play HD videos
    Maybe:
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
    Do they play in iTunes?
    Try deleting them and redownloading them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Repair Disk Permissions ...
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

  • Ugh, TV Shows wont play.

    The TV shows I purchased will not sync to my iPhone or even play on my computer.
    It says they are not formatted.
    Please help.

    You won't be able to convert them because they're copy protected. You should contact iTunes store support if the files you bought from them won't transfer to your iPhone. You might also try posting a message about this problem in the iPhone forum. There may be others there who've had the same experience.

  • I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

    I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

    Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
    Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
    Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
    This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
    D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
    which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
    If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

  • I purchased a song and it wont play...shows Codecs:AAC (protected), how do i get it to play?

    I recently purchased a song on itunes and it wont play, when I go to my file and open up the info, i noticed that it shows Codec:AAC (protected) where my other songs are not. Or if im in itunes in my purchased song, when i open the info it shows Kind: AAC audio file where my other songs show Kind: Purchased AAC audio file. how do i get my song to play or get it unprotected?

    Hi,
    It would seem that you have a corrupted file. Delete track from your library and move to trash. You can now go back into iTunes Store / purchased where you will be able to down load the song again.

  • Songs showing in a faded grey on iphone 4 but wont play, any idea's?

    Hi im looking for a bit of help i updated to ios 6.1.2 the other day now my songs wont play they show the artist name in black then when you open it, its a faded grey colour and it wont play? Ive managed to start download the songs again from itunes purchase history but the problem now is that when i go into an album it shows as being double one in black that plays and one in grey that doesnt?

    I had the same problem after using an auxillary plug in the headphone jack.  I tried rebooting, restoring to factory, and inserting and removing iPhone headphones in the jack.  The only solution was going to the Apple store and getting a replacement phone.  The Apple store genius said it is a rare problem with the 4/4S iPhone that is a hardware issue.

    MacBook Pro  / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
    I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better.  Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG.   However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.  
    This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success.  So here's what I did:
    1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
    2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
    3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
        [also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
    4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
    5. Go back to the Get  Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
    6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
    7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
    8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!
