Purchased iTunes songs scroll by on nano but never play

Hello - hoping someone can help. I'm up-to-date with iTunes 7.1.1 and QuickTime 7.1.5. Two weeks ago I purchased 11 songs at the same setting on an iTunes gift card. 4 of those songs (by the same artist) will not play on my iPod. They play fine within the iTunes application; however, when I select them on my iPod, their name appears quickly on the face, and then they scroll through with never starting the song. Hope someone has suggestions! This is quite frustrating - thanks much.

Have a look through these.

I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod. Is there anyway to restore it to my pc?

I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod. Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod? I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.

Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.

If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

What I may do is start a brand new library there, copy my tracks from my work laptop using Home Share and then the script to get things in sync before starting over again there too.
Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.

I was just hoping to hear definitively whether or not there was some sort of intelligence built into iTunes Match that would match these up...
How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."

HT2589 I want to purchase a song in the UK store, but my apple id is Canadian and it won't let me

I want to purchase a song in the UK store, but my apple id is Canadian and itunes will not allow me to purchase it. How can I purchase this song?

You can't, you can only purchase from your own country's store. You can try requesting that it be added to the Canadian store, but ultimately it's the record company that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

Burning Purchased iTunes Songs...

Hi there,
As I have noticed on these boards, many people (as am I) are having trouble burning purchased iTunes songs onto CD's. For about three and a half hours, I tried just about everything to fix this- but no luck. Is there any downgrader to jump back to a previous, working edition? Thanks.

Having similar issues here, but iTunes (6.0.2) doesn't crash. When trying to burn an audio CD (purchased from Music Store) iTunes will act like it is initializing, start burning and then all of a sudden it will finish burning (after 1st song) and then eject the cd (after a minute of sitting there). Message about "attempt to burn disk failed...device failed to respond, unable to recover or retry". I can burn other playlists, just not purchased songs from iTunes.
Any thoughts?

My Ipod will not transfer all of its songs to purchased Itunes song transfer. My last pv crashed, I dont have access to it any more. I want my library back on Itunes. ANy help?

My Ipod will not transfer songs. my old PC crashed and could not recover anything from it. When I purchased my new Dell, when I loaded Itunes back on to it my content library will only transfer over purchased Itune songs. I have tons of songs I downloaded from the old "CD" onto my new Itunes account from my Ipod. Any help?

so then technically I can't transfer the songs off my ipod to my itunes library? since it is one 1 transfer from pc to ipod...correct? So when I synch my ipod the warning screen comes up and says "there are content not in the library, erase and synch library to Itunes, only purchased songs can transfer." Can I leave the songs on my ipod and when I purchase new songs to itunes I can still transfer those correct? while having the others on there that wont transfer?

Hello, I would like to know how to transfer my purchased iTune songs to my husbands email.

Hi Virginie,
You need to go under the help menu option and sign out from Muse and then install it on the other computer that you want using the creative cloud desktop app.

Uploading purchased iTunes songs onto iPod

Hi there,
Can anyone help me, everytime I try to upload my purchased iTunes songs onto my iPod an error message comes up saying I am not authorised to play these tracks on my computer and the tracks do not upload.
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem - getting an error message telling me that my iPod - which I have updated with most recent iTunes software - cannot play the music I've purchased. What was your solution? What did you figure out? Would appreciate any help.

Protected Purchased ITUnes songs on my PC, but NOT on my IPOD

I just bought a new 60gb IPOD. I successfully xferred all my songs from my old IPOD to my new IPOD, but now the songs I have purchased of recent from ITUNES (before and after the xfer of files to my new IPOD) do NOT play on my IPOD (but they are visible on my IPOD, they are just skipped over when playing). I CAN play them off of my PC and the "kind" of file they are is Protected AAC Audio File. This does not make sense to me. Can anyone assist? Additionally, the music videos which came with my new Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers albums do not play on my new IPOD

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer and iPod..
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
If they don't, try this test/solution...
Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
Play the song in that username to authorize it.
Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.
