New Song Won't Play

I just bought a song on iTunes and while downloading it said it couldn't be downloaded for an unknown reason. I re-tried downloading it and it worked, but i can't play it or put it on my iPod. It shows up in My Music, I just can't play it. Any Suggestions?

I just found out that it actually isn't in My Music anymore, but iTunes says i have purchased it... HELP

    What do you mean by "won't play"?
    Try deleting the song and downloading it again from the iTunes Store.

    Try putting the files back where they were before you moved them, then follow the steps in this Apple document -> iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • My old computer died just after I transferred iTunes via external HD.  When I transferred the content from the HD to the new computer, most songs won't play.  Message is "Can't identify source".  Sharing was on in the old computer when it died.

  • Repost: brand new mac won't play/recognise/mount audio-cd's

    No idea what's going on here. I posted a question which I will paste below. Someone posted some suggestions for me (Dave Sawyer if I remember the name correctly, thanks again!) which lead me to ask wheter I was or was not supposed to have a file named cd info.cidb in a certain folder.
    Now all of a sudden my thread is gone and I find the following mail in my inbox:

    You wouldn't have that file unless you used iTunes to get CD metadata from Gracenote. I hate Gracenote, therefore I have never had that file on my system

    The origial question post was the following:
    Hi all!
    I am totally new to the macbussines (got one for a month now) and not using cd's much I never tried importing one untill today... and it simply won't. I think it's supposed to show the audio-cd on the desktop and give me an 'import cd' button in itunes whenever I insert an audioCD right?
    It won't do... it'll take it in, turn it a few times and slide it right out again.
    What I tried so far:
    * toying with itunes settings for importing (import cd & eject, show CD, ask to import cd etc)
    * toying with the cd&dvd preferences under system preferences
    * click the mount 'button' in disk utility as was suggested in all those threads regarding cd's not mounting first time (my cd's won't mount the second or 30th time either)
    * resetting the PRAM
    Nothing so far.
    It does recognise DVD's but no audio cd's whatsoever, originals, burned ones. You name it. As I don't use CD's a lot the newest CD dates from 2003, but that can't be it, can it?
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated...
    o/
    Am I going para? Where did my post go? It's totally gone, not even under 'my posts' or anywhere...
    Still no solution either... suggestions still welcome therefor

    My guess is that someone didn't like that I said I didn't like Gracenote.
    Anyway, I Googled for your thread and luckily found it intact in the iTunes for Windows forum and posted a condensed reply there for you.

    Itunes worked after reseting my computer to factory setting however had trouble again after syncing my iPod and iPod shuffle. Is this a coincidence or could it be the cause of the problem?

  • TS1389 One of my purchased songs won't play. Every time I try to play the song it says to authorize my computer. I have repeatedly tried logging in to authorize this song and it isn't working. The problem is only happening with one song.

    I purchased a bunch of songs last month and one song won't play. Every time I try to play it the window pops up to authorize my computer to play that particular purchase. I tried all of the suggestions that Itunes support send me to. Nothing has worked so far. The song is on my account as a purchased item along with the other items that I purchased the same day. Does anyone have any ideas??

    The very same thing has happened to me today...........?  Could it be a song pending release?  Seems unlikely.  Please post any resolutions.

  • HT1325 tried everything my puchased songs won't play..

    If only a small number of songs won't play, delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country. If all of the protected content won't play, click here and follow the instructions.

  • I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives?

    I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives? Specifically the album is Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes and the song is DMT Song (feat. Thundercat). I purchased the entire album and it even played fine the first listen through.

    Hi,
    If you are in a country that permits redownloads, delete track and go to iTunes Store > purchased and redownload. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • HT1491 I purchased an album with bonus songs but the bonus songs won't play. What is the problem ?

    I purchased an album with bonus songs but the bonus songs won't play.  Whazt's the problem ?

    Okay, that sounds like the dodgy tracks have been getting damaged during the download.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Hi NYYJMM,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

  • My Itunes opens on my PC but the songs won't play, I have no idea about what to do?

    My Itunes opens on my PC but the songs won't play.  I have no idea about what to do to resolve the issue.  I appreciate any help.  It is an HP computer about a year old running Windows 7. 

    Try forgetting the network, reboot your iPad and then try joining the network again.
    Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go back to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Enter your password>Tap Join.
    If that doesn't work, reset network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Reboot the iPad again. Go back to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Enter your password>Tap join.

  • HT3951 I downloaded an album and 2 of the songs won't play

    I downloaded an album and 2 of the songs won't play and it's showing that the songs are fully downloaded. I have the latest version of itunes. If anyone knows what the problem is and how to fix it, please help!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those tracks and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    Downloaded a song, won't play, says authorize computer. Then says computer is already authorized

    Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
