  • After itunes upgrade to 7.6, why can't I play previously purchased songs?

    Some of my previously purchased songs from the itunes store will not play since I upgraded to 7.6. They played on this computer before, but it now says,"This computer isn't authorized to play this song." I checked permissions, ran disk utility,and don't have the locked checked. I don't want to waste any of my 5 authorizations. I recall this happening to me on a previous upgrade, but I don't remember the solution. All help would be appreciated.

    In iTunes, click Store > Deauthorize Computer until it says you're not authorized. Then, choose Store > Authorize Computer.
    You can also take a look at the steps in this document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389?viewlocale=en_US
    Even if you do end up with 2 authorizations on one computer, once you reach 5 iTunes gives you the option to Deauthorize All computers, once per year. So, it's not like you'll never recapture that authorization.
    Hope this is helpful

  • Cannot play previously purchased songs

    I have a handful of songs that I previously purchased that can no longer be played. When I try to play them, it asks me to authorize the computer but it is already authorized.  I even unauthorized the computer and authorized it again.  Other purchased songs work and I know my account is OK.
    When I view the Summary on Get Info, I noticed that these songs do not show a Purchased Date as others do.  They do show Purchased by and my Apple id.
    Ideas??  Is this a version issue or something that can be resolved?

    Hello beeangie,
    It sounds like you have multiple Apple ID’s associated. Once the 90 days are up, you are able to associate the Apple ID with your iPhone. Another option is to restore your iPhone and setup as new. The article below will explain further about assocating Apple ID's to devices.

  • I just purchased a new Mac and I am trying to download my previously purchased songs.   I am only getting a portion of each song though.  What is happening and how do I fix it?

    I just purchased a Mac and downloaded my previously purchased songs from iTunes, however it only downloaded a portion of the song (about 1:15) and this appears to be the same on all of the songs.   What is happening and how can I fix it?

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.

  • Uploading Previously purchased songs to new computer

    I'm having trouble tranferring previously purchased songs from my IPOD nano to my new lap top. When I attempt to transfer, about 25 of my 100 previously purchased songs transfer and the remainder do not. Something about not being authorized to transfer to this computer. All 100 songs were purchased off I-Tunes.

    I am having similar problems. I have my library (and playlists) on my new computer, the new compte has been authorised and the previously purchased songs play on the computer. However, since then I have connected my ipod for a update and all my previously purchased songs were removed from my ipod. Why has it done this? The songs are still in my new computer and are playable. Can they be put back on my ipod?

    If possible you need to upgrade OS X. However, what you can upgrade to is dependent on what your Mac hardware and configuration is which you have not provided in your profile.

    Can't DL previous purchased songs on authorized computer

    If you still have the entries for the songs in your iTunes library (even if the actual music files no longer exist), then iTunes assumes that you already have them and that there is no need to re-download them - try deleting the entry for one of them from iTunes and then try re-downloading it, and if it works then do the same for the others

  • How to recover previously purchased songs

    I had previously had an iPod. I used to buy song directly off the iPod. The iPod had never been plugged into a computer. Since then that iPod has been wiped clean. My QUESTION is: is there a way to get those previously purchased songs on my new iPod. When I go onto the iTunes Store it says those old. Songs have been purchased?

  • HT201272 Is there a limit on downloading previously purchased songs?

    Is there a limit on downloading previously purchased songs?

    I think what the message is saying is that if you download past purchases for that account then you will be tying the Mac to that account for 90 days - I was thinking that it was saying that it's already associated with an account, not that you are about to associate it. If you don't want that to happen (which if it's your only account then it shouldn't be an issue), then you should be able to copy the content from your other Mac to it via, for example, home sharing : copying content between computers.

  • HT201272 I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device.  The iCloud download button is not there.  Help?

    I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device.  The iCloud download button is not there.  Help?

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

  • Re-downloading all previously purchased songs

    Hiya,
    Just wondering if there is a quick and easy way of re-downloading all previously purchased songs onto my iTunes (I have purchased a new computer and the old one is dead). I have already authorised this computer, but short of going and finding all the purchases I have made in the past, can I just re-download them to here?
    Cheers.

    As Apple clearly point out in the Terms of Use / Purchase, downloads are allowed to be made once only.
    You cannot download your music again, it is your responsibility to have made backups of your music files in case of loss.
    Just as a record store won't replace a lost CD, Apple will not replace lost downloads.
    I suggest you either transfer the music you purchased from the old computer to the new computer, or you get a copy of the music out of your last backup.
    If you cannot access the old computer and you do not have a backup then do you have the purchases on an iPod / iPhone? If you do then you can connect the device to iTunes (DO NOT SYNC THE DEVICE WITH ITUNES as that would erase the content from the device). Once connected use the 'Transfer Purchases' option you will find in the file menu in iTunes.
    If you have not got the music on an iPod, etc then all you can do is send a very polite and humble email to Apple using the 'Report a problem' feature in the Account area of iTunes and ask them to allow you to download all your music again. It has been known for Apple to allow this to be done, but they don't need to do so and may refuse.
    If they do then you will have lost all your purchased music, your fault not theirs.

  • Re-downloading previously purchased songs on a different computer

    Hi, I'm wondering if there is any way that you can download previously purchased songs on to a different computer to the one you purchased them on.

    I'm wondering if there is any way that you can download previously purchased songs on to a different computer to the one you purchased them on.
    Transfer the song files from one computer to the other manually, and then drag them into the open iTunes window. Except for applications, one purchase only entitles you to one download; if you don't have the files at all, fill out and submit this form.
