Purchased music plays in iTunes but not Apple applications

My issue is not as dire as most here but still....
Recently, my purchased music became unavailable to
all Apple applications (iPhoto, iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Quicktime, etc) except
iTunes. If I try to play one, "This computer is not authorized to play this
song" message appears. Never did before. After following the
"open iTunes to reauthorize this computer" instruction it reports
authorization was successful. However, the songs are still unavailable
to Apple apps. and the "not authorized" message keeps popping up.
And they all play fine in iTunes. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Usually unchecking the song(s) in iTUnes, updating the ipod, then checking the songs and updating the ipod again will fix the problem.
If not restoring it with the latest ipod updater (06-28-2006) should fix it. Restoring wipes the ipod clean and then you use iTUnes to load it back up with your music

ITunes purchased song plays in iTunes but not on iPod

I have purchased several songs from the music store. One of the songs will play in iTunes but not on my iPod. I've removed the song several times from the iPod and resynced with iTunes, but the song still cuts out in the middle of the song. What should I do?

If it's just a problem with that song, I would contact the customer service who may authorize another download.

Video plays in iTunes but not Apple TV.

I'm having trouble with playing movies on Apple TV. I had a video that I converted to mpeg4 format. 640x384, 1138kbps total bitrate, 23 frames/sec. I can play it in iTunes and in quicktime but not through Apple TV. It just perpetually loads...
I can play any of my music from the same home shared computer on my Apple TV with no noticeably loading time. The total file size of the movie is 785MB.
Does anyone know why this can't play on Apple TV and if there's something else I need to be doing?

Google and download Handbrake, and convert the video for AppleTV format. Not everything that plays in itunes or QT plays on AppleTV.
There are many variants of MPEG4 and parameters that can make AppleTV fail to play it. Best to convert to the h264 variant which Handbrake will do by default using the AppleTV preset (don't use preset 2 for a silver AppleTV 1).
Vieo specs for AppleTV are listed here:

Music plays in iTunes, but not on iPod

Bought an iPod Classic 120GB recently. Roughly half of my music will play on the iPod, but all of it plays on my PC. I have resynced multiple times and actually traded it in through the Apple store thinking that might be a quick fix. Still the problem persists. For example, some songs on an album will play, while others will be skipped. All are encoded the same way, V0. When I convert into another bitrate, the problem goes away, but I'm not going to be doing that to my entire music library. The iPod classic does advertise being able to play variable bitrate encoding, so I'm wondering if there is any fix for this problem.

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound. There were several vidoes on the purchase I made and two of the videos will not play the video or sound. I've checked to see if they were waiting for download and nothing is there. Any suggestions.

Is your iTunes account authorized for this computer in iTunes? - to check, open iTunes, and in the top menu bar, select "store", then "authorize this computer". How to Authorize iTunes - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/authorization/.

Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

hi
like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
should i do it one by one ?
thanks.

it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

I transfered music from my ipod to a new itunes library (new PC). The music plays in itunes but when I sync my ipod and try to drag songs from the itunes library to the ipod it wont load. It shows a circle with aline through it.

Music plays on iPad but not iPod and iTunes library

I have recently purchased music off of iTunes and some of the songs won't play on my iPod or in my iTunes library but they will play on my iPad. I am not sure how to fix this. I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes and deauthorized and reauthorized my computer, but nothing so far has helped. Has anyone had this problem and knows how to fix it?

Actually, now they won't play on my iPad either.

Airplay: Next song plays in iTunes but not thru tv or stereo?

So I have an AppleTV2 connected via HDMI to my Sony KDL-46S5100 HDTV.
While playing music to the ATV2 via Airtunes I will hit play and the song will start, but then it is a toss-up if the next song will play audibly or not. It will display on the TV that the song has begun and is playing, and it will display as playing in iTunes, but no audio will actually be heard. Sometimes the song after will play fine, but not usually. It seems totally random.
Furthermore, 99.9% of the time if I click the back arrow in iTunes to begin the song again it will play normally, but then do the same thing on the next song.
Any help?

Just had the exact problem, but with an Airport Extreme station.
Go in the wireless settings of your airport extreme. Then Radio Channel, select channel 9 instead of "automatic".
Maybe you'll have to try a few channels in your area, but the thing is that you must not be in "automatic" mode.
It works instantly, everytime !

My daughter has an ipod and used itunes through her mom's account, we now set up a new itunes for her iphone, we were able to transfer the purchased music to the library but not the songs she had on old cd's, how do I get all the music off her ipod?

My stepdaughter has an ipod and used her mom's itunes account, now we set her up with her own itunes but I can only transfer purchased music to her library. How do I get all of her music off of her ipod? (she doesn't have all the cd's she used)

You may be able to buy a program to do this - not supported by Apple.
the ipod is not a storage device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchaes.
The music should be on a computer as that is where they came from in the first place.

Track from iTMS plays in itunes, but not on iPod

Five minutes ago, I purchased a track from the iTunes Music Store (Sunspot, by Moby). I downloaded the file, and it plays without a hitch in iTunes.
When I sync my iPod, though, I find the track is not playable on the iPod. I can find and select it in the interface. When I try to play it, though, it immediately takes me back to the main "iPod" menu. On one or two play attempts, it briefly flashed the cover art on the display of the iPod Video, but it then took me back to the "iPod" menu.
I am able to play other tracks on the iPod. I've purchased dozens of tracks and I've never seen this before. Any advice?

You can try this - It seems to help some people that are having weird authorization issues:
Make sure you delete the old one off of your iPod.
Copy the file from the iTunes music folder to your desktop.
Then click on it and it will play in iTunes.
Now add this new one back to your iPod.
If that doesn't work, you can email iTunes Support using the form at the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
Let them know what's happening & they may be able to give you a new copy or refund you.

Purchased music shows in iphone, but not in computer, how can I get them bk

I can't find my purchased music from itunes, they show in my iphone and I can play them as well,
but they are nowhere to be found in my laptop. How can I get them back....It's almost $100.00
value, need help please!!!

iTunes Store purchases are treated a bit differently than other music in your library. If you have authorized music purchases from the iTunes store on your phone and your computer is authorized for that same account, you can transfer purchased tunes from the phone to the computer -- whether you purchased them on the iPhone or on the computer.

Track will play on iTunes but not iPod

I have a single track that has stopped playing on my iPod. It has worked in the past. It plays on iTunes (for PC). I've tried deleting the track from iTunes, syncing my iPod (ie deleting it from my iPod) and restoring the track from a backup, but it still doesn't work. According to the file info, its size is 12.7 MB. Is it possible that its become corrupted? Other tracks play fine in my iPod. Any suggestions?

I have gone to the Purchase History. The track does not appear there. All other tracks from the album are there. I purchased the entire album, not individual tracks. Unfortunately it is not possible to purchase this track again without purchasing the entire album. If I go to Store->Check for purchases iTunes tells me that all tracks have been downloaded. It looks like there's a problem with this track at the iTunes end.
Come to think of it - I only purchased my iPod very recently and it looks like this track has never played on it.
I sent a support email to the iTunes store and was told that I should do regular backups and that there was nothing that could be done about this.
I'm currently on the phone to Apple Tech support and have been on hold for the last 20 minutes.
I've tried all of the suggestions on sites such as http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93431.
In case it helps anyone, the URL of the track is http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=203598396 &s=143460&i=203598418
This experience has left me rather unimpressed with the official tech support. Maybe this forum can come up with an answer.
