PC crashed, after reinstalling everything my purchases songs will not play.

PC crashed, after reinstalling everything my purchases songs will not play. I have the files but they say they are not authorized to be played on this pc. It is the same pc but i have had to reinstall windows and itunes. Please help me, how can i play my purchased songs?

How did you do this? I got the same message - some items not copied because I'm not authorized - minus the PC crashing.
I'm sooo bitter..how can I not play songs that I purchased?!
You help would be much appreciated!

  • Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?

    The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Some iTunes purchased songs will not play on iPhone.

    Some of my songs that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on my iPhone but will play on my MacBook Pro and iPad - what can I do to fix this.  This problem has been happening for around a week now.  At first it was 1-2 songs but now in a playlist of around 80 songs approximately 1/4 of the songs will not play.  When the song comes up next in the playlist it will not only skip that song but will also skip past 1-2 other songs.

    Hey brewmaster1967,
    Does this happen with any other purchased content? Download some of the free on iTunes store songs.
    Deauthorize the computer and play/authorize the song in iTunes again.

    Try re-creating the iTunes Library.

  • HT1325 Purchased album fine then purchased song will not play

    Purchased album fine then purchased song will not play

    I had an album purchased on my iPhone5 that appeared in my iTunes library on my computer (Windows), but it would not play, didn't list the songs either.
    I finally found a place in the Edit menu to update my settings:
    Edit
    Preferences
    Store
    automatic downloads
    check music, apps, books
    Then I resynced my iPhone and the album showed up.  We also have an iPhone 4s and I was able to finally sync the album to that phone too.
    This is all in iTunes 11   Hope this helps!

    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.

    Thanks for this post. It corrected my similar issue. Note that you need to exit from/re-enter iTunes after deleting the song from your Purchased list.

    Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone.  Any ideas to resolve this issue?

    Similar issue:
    I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
    From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
    I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
    In case it of any use here are the tracks:
    Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
    Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
    Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

  • TS1424 Specific purchased songs do not play correctly

    I purchased the album "Into the Labyrinth" by the artist Dead Can Dance for 9.99. Some of the songs will not play all the way through, and a few will not play at all. I searched through Itunes support and was unable to find any advice on this issue. Any suggestions? I use the newest version of Itunes, and have never had this problem before.
    Thanks

  • Songs will not play at all in iTunes 7.0.1 today.  Help?

    Installed new version last night. Everything worked fine, songs played after instal. Today, songs will not play. Display shows name of song, time, etc., but song will not start (time stays constant, progress meter does not move). Any ideas?

    Just for fun, I shut down, rebooted, and tried again, and now it works fine.

  • Help.  Songs will not play!!!

    My origional computers hard drive crashed and is no longer able to turn on.  So I have a few thousand songs with a ! infront of them on Itunes, and as we all know these songs will not play.  If I buy Match, will these songs with ! be converted and be able to be used again?

    This is definately a firmware problem.
    I have a 80gb ipod that does the same and narrowed the problem down to taking the headphones out and plugging them or another set in. It doesn't happen every time but happens often enough when you use it everyday like me. Like you I have a headphone jack for my car.
    I replaced the ipod at the apple service centre after finally being able to replicate the problem for them to see. Unfortunately my new one does exactly the same.
    The only ways around it are -
    Do a reset
    or
    Hold down play so that it turns off. Unplug the headphones. Press play without the headphones in. The track will start playing. Plug the headphones back in.
    Apple need to look into this problem as there are a fair number of people experiencing it.

  • After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete."  What can I do?

    After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  I receive the following error message:
    You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.  So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
    Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it.  Now I reinstall it and  the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7.  SMH....Now what.?

  • Upgraded to iTunes 6.0 now songs will not play

    I should add that every time I remove the iPod from my computer to try and see if any of the songs are back it asks me for a language just like the first time you start it up. Kinda like it forgets everytime I plug it into the computer.

    Since Nov update about a third of my songs have a circle with an exclamation mark inside the circle. These songs will not play on my computer. Message says  "The song .... could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I have reloaded these back onto itunes with my own CD collection. They work for a short while, then the same thing happens. I don't  know what is causing this or how to fix it.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!
