New buys from iTunes Store won't transfer to iPod

Earlier I posted about losing 1 authorisation because of changing the motherboard of my computer. Once I found out how to authorise the new one all seemed oke again; authorisation error disappeared.
However I've found I'm missing over 50 tracks on my iPod.
They still are in the iTunes Library though. I bought about 10 more tracks yesterday and synchronised my iPod. The songs did not get transfered. They have been selected in the iTunes Library. I'm lost.
How come some earlier and some newly bought tracks don't get synchronised no more? Only things that have happened is
A. I changed my motherboard (but authorised the computer again after doing so)
B. I re-installed lates version of iTunes (7.3.2.6)

I did reset the iPod back to factory settings, and after that all selected tracks in my iTunes Library were properly synchronised again.
Still wondering though if there'd been a less 'drastic' measure.

I just purchsed new movies from iTunes store but to transfer to my ipod, it says it will delete 5 other movies from my other pc. Any ideas?

I have an ipod classic 160gb and it has 145gb available
I have 4 pcs authorized. 1 for each of my family members when I visit. I had recently purchased several movies from the iTunes store before leaving florida, now here in Maryland. I decided to purchsed more. when I attempt to upload from the itunes library to my ipod movies, it gives me a window error explaining:
"This ipod is currently linked to another iTunes library. In order to copy the movie Goonies to this ipod, you must link this ipod with this iTunes library. Doing so will remove 5 movies including Trading Places from this iPod."
Well, this is unaccectable since all my other movies, including the 5 it wishes to remove are on my home PC in florida. All the movies were purchased from iTunes yet only my recent purchases show up in the library folder - which makes no sense unless it auto deletes itself after a period of time?
I have copied the movies from the library folder to this pc just in case but I cannot find a way to copy or backup my ipod to my PC just in case itunes wipes my movies.
Any help or ideas?

Are the ones from the CD's on iTunes? You may just have to sync them over to the phone.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

Can't move music from iTunes store onto my poor old iPod (2004)

I have an old click wheel iPod (more than 3yrs old) and I am having trouble moving songs I purchased from iTunes store onto it. they download fine onto my PC (I Know, I know, I'm buying a MacBook soon).
I keep getting an error message saying I cannot move these songs onto my iPod as that machine is not authorised (and this is the only device I have tried so it can't be the more than 5 issue). It this because my iPod it too old?
Help, as I have wasted a lot of money on music I can only listen to on my PC

Any help here?

Some songs correctly loaded into iTunes but won't transfer to iPod

Can't figure this one out. I have 40-odd songs in my 2000 iTunes songs that won't transfer to iPod. Error message says the format is not recognized by my iPod, even though the songs appear and play normally in iTunes. Songs are about 7 years old. The file extension on them says ".mp3". However, I notice when I select a problem song and click "info", the information tells me the songs is a MPEG audio file; 6.8 mb size; sample rate 44.1 khz; format MPEG-1, Layer 2; ID3 Tag V1.0; Encoded with "Unknown". How do I properly load or convert these so they will play on my iPod? Do I need to convert them to AAC format, and if I do, what am I giving up? I have about 500 of these old songs in my library, which I haven't yet loaded into my iTunes. Thanks in advance for any help or expertise!

M4p's from iTunes Store sound badly on my iPod Nano

I bought the album Calaisa (m4p) from iTunes Store and listened to it on my iPod Nano 3G. I got a bit confused, because I thought the sound was really bad with lots of distorsion at some frequencies.
First I checked my earbuds but they were ok. Next I listened to the songs in iTunes where it sounded ok. After some testing I tried to burn a CD and then rip the songs to unprotected AAC (m4a). And voila, those files played without distorsion on my iPod!
Is it a bug in iPod Nano or was the album files corrupt in some way? It would be interesting to hear if someone else has noticed the same problem.

Several users have reported similar issues and were only able to resolve it by unsyncing and resyncing podcasts, or restoring the iPod in iTunes.

Song purchased from iTunes Store won't play on my computer

Several people have posted variations on this question but I haven’t been able to find a coherent explanation of, or fix for, the problem.
I have downloaded all my CDs into iTunes and synched them to my iPod. Everything downloaded from CDs plays fine.
I bought and downloaded one song from the iTunes store. It appears on playlists, but I cannot play it using iTunes. When I click on it I get the blue highlighting but nothing happens when I click on the “Play” arrow. (I can play it using Quick Time). My computer is authorized.
When I synch the iPod, I get the error message “(song) was not copied to the iPod (my iPod) because it cannot be played on the iPod.”
I noticed that the files copied from CDs are .m4a files and the file downloaded from the iTunes store that won’t play is an .m4p.
I think this is some kind of rights issue. Can anyone explain what the problem is? Thanks in advance.
Dell Windows XP

The trick of deleting the song to the Recycle Bin, dragging it to the Desktop and then back into iTunes worked. My guess is that because our computer was not authorized at the time of the purchase (this was our first purchase from the iTunes Store), the original file downloaded in a protected format. The computer has since been authorized, so the Recycle Bin ruse tricks iTunes into thinking it's a new file. I would still like to hear a confirmation of this from someone who knows though. Also, Apple should tell people to authorize their computers before making any purchases. It will save some confusion it seems.
Thanks for the tip.

Cant buy from itunes store, message says there was a problem downloading - the network connection could not be made

recently changed my PC and successfully exported my itunes library. My problem is that when I now try to buy a song I get a message saying that there was a problem downloading (song) and that the network connection could not be made. Occasionally I get that the itunes store is temporarily unavailable and to try again later. The old PC was running Windows XP and the new one Windows Vista. I have already tried downloading a fresh version of itunes and ticked the repair option. Everything else appears to be working normally. Can anyone help please?

Still having trouble, the computer is authorized and appears normal in its function. Recently discovered that while it lists items I have purchased on another device it will not let me download to this computer and shows the same message as above. Also noticed that itunes says it is not connected to the internet which cannot be true because the list of previous purchases appears. Any help gratefully appreciated

Buying from itunes store while outside of Canada

Hello,
I am travelling to France and my canadian credit card is not recognized in itunes. I dont have a french credit card. How can I still buy items from the canadian itunes. This situation if very frustrating when travelling for a long period outside of Canada.
Is there anything that can be done to change itunes options and be able to connect to the canadian itunes?
Thank you!

Strictly speaking, yes, that is correct. You agree not to attempt to use the US iTunes Store from another country whether or not you have a US iTunes Store account. I haven't seen any confirmed reports that Apple is blocking such connections, but that is indeed the official policy.

Movie Downloads from iTunes Store won't play on my Mac or iPhone

Have just downloaded my Star Trek digital copy from the iTunes store; it is sitting on my Mac's hard drive as a .m4v file of nearly 2Gb; seems OK. However, if I click on 'play' in iTunes it shows a progress bar playing in iTunes & in the separate movie window I get a blank screen & no sound. I then sync'ed it with my iPhone & when I go into the iPod on the iPhone & play the movie I get the error "This movie could not be played". I have some podcasts on the Mac & iPhone & they work OK on both platforms.
Now I understood that the .m4v format was alright to play on both my Mac & on the iPhone but it's not working for me...anyone encountered this before / got any ideas pls?
Appreciate any help thx...Brooke.

Same issue. I've been buying TV shows and movies on iTunes for a long time and copying them to my iPhone to watch on my TV. A few days ago, I tried to move a rented movie to my iPhone the same way I always did, click the "move" button next to the movie under the movies tab for the iPhone in iTunes when iPhone was connected and then click "apply". It would do a quick sync without copying anything.
I thought I had a bum file, so I e-mailed Apple support and they reset the purchase so that I could redownload, which I'm doing now.
But my recently downloaded episodes of Lost will also not copy to my iPhone. AND they will not even play on my iMac. When I try to play them, it shows only a grey screen with a progress bar. TV shows and movies purchased and downloaded weeks or months ago still play fine.
No changes have been made to my system. After the rented movie didn't play and copy, I did a update check and downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPhone firmware. That didn't fix it. I have the newest versions of the Quicktime and iTunes. The computer is authorized for these purchases. The iPhone is authorized.
I've looked at similar threads and have not found a solution. I'm stumped. If anyone has a solution let me know.
