Purchase song on iTunes from 5c phone but can't play song on phone or mac
Purchased song on ITunes and entered correct apple id. song downloaded to iPhone 5C. Phone then synced with MacPro laptop on OS Mavericks latest version. This song will not play on phone or laptop. Get Info shows correct Apple ID. Whenever I try to play this song, get message this song is not authorized for this computer. I sign same Apple ID with correct password and get message Computer already authorized. When I click to play on same song again, get same message this song is not authorized for this computer. Song will not play on phone either. Just skips to next available song to play.
What is the exact text of the error dialog?
If I understand you correctly you are saying that you and your wife both use the same MacMini with seperate User Accounts. You each have your own iTunes Store Apple IDs. This could be a problem. One computer can only be associated with an Apple ID once every 90 days. This applies to using iTunes Match, automatic downloads and downloading past purchases. See this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Since you apparently had the MacMini associated to your Apple ID for iTunes Match, if your wife attempted to re-download anything from her purchase history she would have been prompted to associate the computer with her Apple ID, which it sounds like she did. At this time you must wait the 90 days before you may re-associate the MacMini with your Apple ID.

Have content of iTunes on both Appletvs but can only play on one. Tv menu won't let me choose both locations. How do I correct this? ITunes Home Sharing is on. Multiple Airplay is on from the iTunes menu, too. Thanks, Taking too long to get music!
If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go -

We have purchased a movie via Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC iTunes
Movies rented on Apple TV aren't transferable to another device. If its taking awhile to load then its an issue with your network.
What is your speed via speedtest.net
1080p requires 8mbps
720p needs 6mbps
You can change to SD in settings
Interference can cause issues, verify via istumbler or netstumbler
Should be using ISPs DNS (settings - network - DNS should be automatic) -

Hello Bagpus113
Check out the article below to troubleshooting issues with the sound for music and for videos. One other thing you can try is to convert the songs to a different format

X code got downloaded from app store but can't find Xcode.app on my mac
X code got downloaded from app store but can't find Xcode.app on my mac
Check your Applicaitons folder.
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 < your profile
Xcode's minimum requirements according to the App Store under Information is OS X v10.7.3 or later.
If you are running v10.7.2, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
That should bring your Mac up to date to v10.7.4.
Then try re downloading Xcode.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase. -

My songs that I purchased on my itunes account from my dad's computer will not play on my new computer, I have access to my entire account but can only play songs purchased using my new computer. Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi Kevin,
Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
If not, sign on to iTunes.
Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
Cheers,

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?
iPhone 4So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver. -

Why can I login to iTunes from my phone with no problem, but I can't login to iTunes from my desktop using the same login credentials. I can use a different appleID and login to itunes with no problem.
Thanks for your reply. I mean that only when all of my music in the cloud is shown on my phone can I delete the music stored on my phone. I should be able to delete music that is stored on my phone when I can view ONLY the music that is taking up the phone's memory.

I have money on my iTunes account from gift cards, but can I use this balance to send gifts like songs or albums? It tells me that I need to select a method of payment like a credit card or debit card/paypal but can't I use the balance on my account?
No, you can't. Apple doesn't allow it.

i copied itunes from a pc to an external hard drive then copied it to itunes on my laptop it loaded all songs but can not play songs
This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

I purchased an audio book from I tunes but when I sync with my I phone it respond with error saying could not read or write the file. It only sync parts 2
Those videos are probably not in an iPod-friendly format. It’s picky about that. You can try converting them, if possible.
As for the audiobooks, are you sure they haven’t synced? You’ve enabled it to sync books and checked the “Audiobooks” section of your iPod? -
I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all my songs play except for about 8 or 9.
If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
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. -
I would like to play music from my iPhone 5 on the speakers attached to my computer at work. I don't have the authority to download itunes onto the computer. Can I play the music from the phone without having itunes on the computer?
