Problems with purchased songs and iTunes 7.0.1

For some odd reason, I can't transfer purchased songs onto my ipod. They appear to be transferred, but I can't play them nor can I open them within iTunes. Is this an authorization issue? Has anyone had a similar problem?
TIA

HT1325 Problems with purchased songs and new computers

I have a new computer; my first mac. I am an apple convert, previously owning a toshiba. Some of the songs from an album I purchased through itunes will not play. What do I do? They have an ! with a circle around it next to them. I do not have a hardcopy or backup to revert back to. I just want to know how to be able to play these songs and listen to them as I have purchased the right to do so.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries) then you might be able to redownoad it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
If it shows there but doesn't have the cloud symbol against it then try deleting it from the Music part of your library (where you are getting the exclamation mark) and it should then get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading.
If music shows there but not that album then is it still in your country's store ? If it is then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you aren't in a country where music can be redownloaded or if it'sno longer in your country's store then you won't be able to redownload it.
But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads, an item can be removed from the store at any time - you are only guaranteed one download of each item.

Itunes states that my computer is not authorized to download an audio book I purchased from itunes. No problem with purchased songs however.

Hello susanserio
Try Deauthorize your account and then Authorize the account to see if any changes occur. Also there may a resolution in the second article that can be helpful as well.

Problems with some songs in iTunes (and my iPod)

Hi,
I do not know whether this is the right category for my problem, but I did not find a suitable one.
I have problems with some songs in iTunes. They do not sound right. It is hard to me to describe my problem in English (thanks to apple's "great" support...I was not able to contact them personally except by phone). The songs "hang", they sound like someone reels (?) it. The problem does not only appear with iTunes but also with my iPod nano first generation.
My godmother brang me CDs where that problems appear (but not the whole CDs have that problem, only a few songs) from the USA - I live in Germany. Maybe that is cause of the error. But I cannot imagine that, because CDs there and here have the same format and I have several CDs from the US where is no problem at all. I am absolutely sure that the CDs are originals and not a copy, by the way.
Maybe you can help me, it would be great!
Thanks,
Jule

Yes, I thought that's what Restore should do, but the problems remain. Hmmm, the out of order 'album's' songlist is notated 1 of 8, 2 of 8, 3 of 8... I'll try 01, 02...
Probably a good idea.
The other album is running through the list of songs like fast-forward, but not playing the songs. Then, iPod locks up.
Do these same tracks play okay in iTunes? What is the original source for these tracks? Were they downloads from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? What format are they encoded in and at what bitrate?

Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

Hi all,
after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
Regards
Michael

First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

Problem with purchase orders and cancelling order lines

Hi,
We have a problem with purchase orders and cancelling order lines. For example we have created PO no. 4300291277:
We have made a GR 5000186897 on 03.09.2010 amount 1.920 and tried to cancel it with GR 5000208866, but it takes the invoice amount 1.724 instead of 1.920. What is the correct way to undo this orders, so we cancel the 1.920 and not the 1.724?
Please help me, your help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Najma.

hi,
You have to cancel the IR first...and then do cancel the GR...
yes, there will be diff. in the price(if the price changes in bwtn)..if no changes in the price , the price will taken as old one..
Process:
1. Cancel IR
2. Then cancel GR..
3. then go the PO and try to delete the line item..

Problems with playing songs in iTunes

as the subject says. I have som problems with playing songs. not everyone just a some..
If we take for example that a song is 8min. then at 1.40 it just stops and goes to the next one. I can jump over it with pressing in the middle for example. it plays. as normal. UNTIL. 3 mins. then the same problems appear. I don't really understand how. just between 1.40-1.50 iTunes thinks that the song is finished. I know my english isn't so good but cuz there is no swedish support. I have to write here. any answers would be good

I'm having a similar problem.
Every now and then, a track from a ripped CD or from iTunes or from eMusic will "look" OK in iTunes (or on my iPod), but when the track plays, it gets partially through and it jumps to the next track in the playlist.
For example, if playback of track 1 pauses and jumps to track 2 at 1:30 into playback of track 1, & I click on 1:31 or later in track 1, the rest of track 1 will play fine. But if the playback of track 1 starts at the before the "skip point," the track will stop & iTunes (or iPod) goes on to the next track in the playlist. If I locate the file (on my external drive) and play it in the finder, there's always buzzing sound at the point where the iTunes jumps to the next track.
For ripped CD's this is not a huge deal, I just re-rip & usually all is well. With eMusic, I can download again, but with iTunes, I have to file a complaint & so far they've just credited my account, which is OK, but time consuming.
At first I thought the problem was with my optical drive, but then the problem started happening with downloads from iTunes and eMusic as well. NONE of these shenanigans happened before I upgraded to iTunes 7.6, so I'm wondering if that's where the problem is. One thing's for sure: I'm not going to "jump" at the next upgrade of iTunes!
I'm totally stumped & bummed. iTunes used to be a really good friend, now I find myself wondering if I should bother with putting my entire CD collection on iTunes if it's no longer as reliable as it used to be.

Problem with certain songs and ipod corrupting itself

my 4g ipod has some serious problems with some songs, almost exclusively by bands with "S" names (something corporate, saves the day, and snow patrol off the top of my head - and I doubt it matters anyways). It will either play the first few seconds of the song or won't play it at all before it skips to the next track. I've tried converting the offending tracks/cd's to AAC with little success. While the song is trying to play the hard drive is clicking/vibrating/working at a rapid pace. I know this isn't a good thing at all, and there probably isn't a way to fix it, but if someone can fill me in with any info, it would be appreciated, as it's starting to happen to more and more songs.
Also, it corrupts itself about once a week and I have to restore and reload all my songs. This isn't a huge issue because I don't keep anything exclusively on the ipod but it is annoying.
Any advice, insight, or pity is appreciated.

it's now corrupting itself every time I plug it into my computer. I fear it may be a goner. Lasted a little less than 18 months.

Problems with windows 7 and itunes

I purchased a new computer which now has windows 7, I am having a problem with iTunes sync my iPod. I have installed iTunes 3 different times and it still wont sync my iPod touch. I have the first version of the iPod touch, I am out of solutions on what to do I don't want to have to lose all my music, pics and apps.. Any suggestions on what to do and how to fix this problem thank you!

Have you tried transferring all of your purchases?
To do this, plug in your iPod with iTunes open. (if it starts to sync, let it). Once it's done syncing, keep your iPod plugged in. Go to "File" at the top of iTunes and find "Transfer Purchases from iPod". Click that. It should start transferring everything from your iPod into iTunes. Once it's done transferring, sync your iPod again (just to be safe). Once it's done syncing, unplus your iPod and check each tab on the navigation bar to see if your stuff has transferred and synced (For example, if you transferred music, click the "Music" tab on the left navigation bar, for apps, click "Apps", etc.)
This worked for me when I couldn't figure out why my stuff wasn't transferring from my iPhone to iTunes by just syncing. I have to transfer purchases every time I download a new app, song, book, etc. Hope this helps!

Compatability Problem with Album Art and iTunes in Vista?

Hi there,
I have album art for all of my music which I have added myself. (I prefer to do so instead of iTunes doing it for me.) However, after purchasing a new computer using Vista, I've encountered a problem.
When I drag and drop my music into iTunes, only about half of the album art shows up. The rest either isn't loaded or isn't identified by iTunes, even though I know it's there.
In fact, you can see the album art icon associated with each file when it's organized in its folder on my C: drive. But again, for some reason, much of it isn't loading when I open the files into iTunes.
I never had this problem using XP. Is it a compatability issue or is there a simple fix I'm unaware of? I'd really appreciate any help!!
Thanks,
Michael
HP Pavillion dv6000 Windows Vista

Alright, my apologies, Chris. I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. The files are embedded with the music (these are the same music files that worked just fine in XP.)
The artwork isn't separate from the actual music file. When you click on the actual music file, you see the ICON associated with the file, and it's the artwork. I suppose that's just a new Vista feature.
However, I embedded all of the album covers myself, and again, they worked just fine in iTunes with XP. But for some reason, only about half of the album art is being recognized by iTunes even though it's embedded into the actual tag.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Just purchased song, and itunes has eaten my credit and crashed.

I have just added a gift voucer to my itunes account, I purchased an album, and Itunes downloaded the first three songs, An error message appeared saying the connection had timed out (i have read other posts about this message !) Itunes then hung, I had to force quit the appliction. When I started Itunes again it took me to the store and asked if I wanted to download my album, I said yes,
In my 'purchased' folder I can see the three songs that itunes downloaded but not the other 10 on the album, My account has been debited the full amount for the full album !
When I click to view my purchased itunes network connection times out again,
Will I get the songs that I have paid for ?
Thanks
Leigh

I am having the same problem. I just kept hitting the button again if there was an error. Eventually I was able to report my problem. I bet alot of people are having trouble today. It is irritating since I am trying to download over 400 songs.

Problems with iMovie '06 and iTunes, too!

I've got the exact same problem as the guy right below. I've imported a song into iMovie that I bought in the iTunes store. But when I try to run my footage, I get a message telling me the song is not authorized to play on my computer (even though it plays just fine when I click on it in iTunes). I'm given multiple chances to authorize the song by inputting my password, but it never convinces the gatekeeper to let my music work.
Actually, sometimes I am allowed to hear the music in my video, but it never makes it to DVD.
Help! I'm on a deadline with this project!
Thanks so much,
Steve

When you download songs off itunes the files are locked, protecting them from editting in garageband, ect. I would just burn the song onto a CD and reimport them into itunes.

Problems with importing songs in iTunes

Hi there
I have deleted my entire iTunes-library. Now, I want to import the songs again. I chose File -> Add folder to library... -> iTunes music (I have all my music in this folder).
The problem is that not everything gets imported, about 30% is missing in the library. I think those songs are missing which are in a second underfolder in the iTunes music. E.g. ...\iTunes music\Band A\Album B\Song C with e.g. ...\iTunes music\Album A\Song B it works.
And even if I want to import those folders manually, it doesn't work (even if it loads).
Does anybody know, what the reason for this is?
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards
Dominic

Two Problems with Purchased Songs

I've run into two problems recently. The first is that today my iPod stopped playing purchased music, the second is that my computer died so the only place I have my purchased music is on my computer.
Will iPod's stop playing purchased music after a certain period of time, if they are not reconnected to the appropriate authorized computer?
Also, in the case of a computer crashing, is there another way to recovered purchased music?

I was able to get my music back from help from someone on the forum. THANK YOU
I just need help with syncing phone to itunes.
