Not synching some purchased music to mini

I installed the latest iTunes 7.0 version and then bought some songs. The new songs are synching but some of our older purchased music won't synch on my daughter's mini ipod. I get the message that it is not an authorized computer and so these certain songs can't sync. I don't know why as we have only ever downloaded to this one computer. Any clue why? I even went to these individual songs and did the "authorize computer" hoping that those songs would then be authorized to this computer but that didn't work.

I only saw that error once, but any music I've purchased from Apple does NOT play on my 6GB mini - there's a whole slew of possible workarounds at this thread : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=665319&tstart=0
Hope one works for you - I haven't had such luck . . . I bought their player, I bought their music, and their player does not play their music - incredible.

I have problem with Itunes losing where podcasts and some purchased music is located. Don't know how Itunes losing the locations of the files and I can't find the files on my hard drive. What can I do to stop Itunes losing location and restore my files?

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

I cant access any of the content that was in my music library that was set up on my old destroyed laptop. so Home Share cant be used. Is there a way to pull all of the music content, not just iTune purchased music from my 4th Gen Nano back into iTuunes?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The music sync is one - way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

IPod Will Not Sync iTunes Purchased Music

My 20gb 4th gen iPod is no longer syncing purchased music fron iTunes… I am working with the later version of iTunes and the latest version of the iPod software… I moved my entire iTunes library to a new computer and authorized the new computer (auth #2)… I connected the iPod and synced the library, but none of the newly purchased music went down to the iPod… The existing purchased iTunes music already on the iPod stayed there… The track information is on the iPod in the appropriate playlist as if it was there, but the song is not there… If I try playing the tracks, the iPod just goes through each track in less than a second…
So I updated the iPod with the latest software and did a full update to erase the contents completely… I plugged in and began a new sync… Again, all of my mp3 in my library came across, but none of the purchased iTunes music… The track information came over, but no song… So I now have no purchased music on my iPod…
This is a new Dell XPS laptop w/ Windows XP MC edition…
Anyone with thoughts on this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks in advanced…

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

ITunes 11.x does not automatically download purchased music

Hello to everyone,
after installing iTunes 11.x, the new purchased music (that I buy with my iPhone, iPod and iPad) is not automatically downloaded on my iMac even if I have the iTunes set for doing it (in the preferences). With the previous version of iTunes I did not have this problem.
Now, when I verify if there are new items to download, it says to me that there are no new elements to download, so I need to sync the iPhone/iPod or iPad manually to have them transfered to my iMac.
Does someone else have my same problem or could you help me in solving it?
Thanks.
Andrea

Hi, Fred.
Are you saying the songs are in you Library but not in the Purchased playlist?
In that case you can simply drag them from the main iTunes display into the playlist.

New iPod will not redownload already purchased music

I have had to get a new iPod due to accidental damage on my last one. The new one has successfully downloaded all my apps, but music is not downloading. I can see all the previously purchased music on my iPod via purchased section on iTunes, i press the cloud/download button but my iPod is displaying 'unable to download at this time'. I get the option to press done or retry, but neither of these do anything. What causes this problem? What else can try to get it all my music to download?

That message would indicate an Apple problem. I would just wait.

I have money on my account but it will not let me purchase music can someone help? pls

I have loaded an itunes gift card to my itunes account and it will not let me purchase any music can anyone help with this

What exactly happens when you try to buy something ? If you've already removed the card from your account then iTunes shouldn't be asking for any details about it.
If you log into into your account is the card still shown . On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your phone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

Not syncing my purchased music

Hello all,
Well, I've recently moved to Vista (not of my free choice, new computer and all)... and just recently hooked up my iPod to my computer.
I've gotten a few "Microsoft wants to fix the iPod directory by scanning and fixing" but I can't seem to do that because when I click "Scan and fix" it says "We can't find that directory." Thank you, Bill Gates.
Anyway, I chose "Erase iPod and re-sync" because it had to... it only syncs to one library at a time. That seemed to work fine.
However, two new songs I purchased won't sync. I've tried to disconnect/reconnect the iPod. I've tried to right-click on the iPod and choose "Sync".
These two songs are in my library...but they won't appear in my iPod. What's going on?
Thanks for any help!
Ted

i'm having a similar problem. my computer says it's authorized. and i can play the purchased music on the computer. but it won't sync the music automatically to the ipod, nor will it let me do so manually. this seems to be a relatively new phenomenon that started a few months ago when i added an external hard drive containing my old desktop PC files to a laptop.

Some purchased music protected and some arent!

I am trying to insert some of my purchased music into my ipod but it wont work. instead my itunes freezes up and have to shut down itunes. I noticed that some of the purchased music files have a black lock icon which indicate that they are protected and those are the ones I cant copy. Some of my purchased music dont have that lock. I used to be able to insert these files into my ipod but now i cant. What can i do?

Ok so some of the songs I have mightve been unprotected like you said. well ive resynced my ipod more than once but i still have trouble transerring those protected tracks into my ipod. Ive played the purchased songs and all. Computer is authorized too. Could my ipod be f*king up then? Im thinking of borrowing a friends ipod and testing it out on my computer.

I can not download my purchased music to my new iPad Mini

I have a number of purchased songs in iTunes but I have been unable to download them to my new iPad Mini. The songs all show in the 'Purchased' area of iTunes and have a little cloud next to them. I click on the cloud and the songs appear to download OK but do not appear on the iPad Mini.
On checking further it would appear that I can't purchase new songs from iTunes.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

On the other Macs go to iTunes Preferences/Store/Automatic Downloads/Select: Music
This should work if all the other Macs are logged into iTunes with the same Apple ID you bought the music with.

After updating and restoring some purchased music is "unauthorized"

I downloaded an update for my Ipod and then was forced to restore my Ipod when it was not recognized by Itunes. After the restoration process I find a few purchased albums come up as not being authorized to play. I go through the process of reauthorization but it does no good. Why would some music no longer be authorized? so far it seems to be that which I had copied to a CD but I have not checked all.

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

How can I transfer music I have downloaded myself from my iPad to my iTunes library on my laptop. I cannot access my library and had to start anew one which does not contain non purchased music

I was locked out of my user account on my laptop due to a registry problem. I had another administrator account on the laptop so I am using that now. I could get to the files in the old account and copied them over...... All except the iTunes library. I have a new iTunes library in the new user account but it only contains my purchases, none of the music I downloaded from my own CD,s. Also all my playlists have disappeared. Fortunately, I still have all my library on my iPad and old iPod, but I can't find out how to transfer the music from them to the laptop. I can't back them up onto my laptop either, otherwise everything would be erased from them. I don't know what else has not been transferred over. I think all my apps are there, but none of the audiobooks.

If the music is purchased through iTunes:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
If the music is not purchased through iTunes:
Senuti — Recover music from your iPod, iPhone or iPad to your Mac
