Purchased music videos won't play

The 2 iTunes music videos I bought won't play.
When I try to play either one, the error message reads
"If you purchased this song you can open iTunes and authorize this computer to play this song by entering you Apple ID and password"
It never gives a prompt for the password.
iTunes IS open, and all of my other purchases (non movies) play. I could play all of the videos when they were free on iTunes and never had problems.
I tried deauthorizing, then reauthorizing my computer--that didn't change anything.
I've been scouring the help section with no success. Please help!

Nick A,
You may want to deauthorize and then reauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases. For information on deauthorizing/reauthorizing please take a look at this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.6/en/15281.html
You do not need to format any purchases from the iTunes Store, they are already correctly formatted.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

  • Music video won't play- quicktime not supported by itunes?

    just purchased music videos from itunes,but when i click on them to play, it says the version of quicktime isn't supported by itunes. i've tried to update quicktime but not sure ive done it right.

    first thing i would do is disable syncing for all of your media that is causing an issue, sync the phone which will delete everything off of it, and then resync everything back.

  • Purchased music that won't play

    I used to have the iPhone 4 now I have the 4s.  Some of the music I purchased on the iPhone 4 seems to have transferred but not correctly.  The info is on the 4s for the music but when I click a song it won't play it skips to the next available song.  So far it's only been 1 album and a couple of songs that I had purchased on the 4.  I've tried resyncing the music library several times both by just resyncing and by wiping the music off.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Turns out that he was right in that for some reason I had to reauthorize my computer.  However, I felt it completely odd considering they played on my previous phone from my mac and it was my Apple ID.  So weird.  So I authorized the computer and it worked they play now.

  • Preview Music Videos Won't Play

    Hello, I'm using Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. and ITUNES 8.0.2. I can't preview the music videos in ITUNES. I used to be able to preview them all the time, but as of a couple months ago, it no longer works. I can hear the sound of the video but the screen is just a still image where the video would normally play.
    Also I checked pasted videos that I have purchased in my library and they play fine. I just can't preview any new videos prior to purchasing them. How do I fix this problem??
    Thanks in advance for your responses.

  • ITunes crashes when I try and play a purchased music video

    This is a new problem and appeared out of the blue. Any suggestions how to fix?

    I'm having a similar problem (see thread below) - my purchased music videos used to play until I tried to move my library from my old PC to my new Mac. The restore kept failing as soon as a video file (.m4v) was encountered. Had to manually import blocks of music and avoid the videos. Now have my music again but iTunes just crashes when I try to play the music vids I bought from iTunes.

  • Music videos don't play back to back

    Is there any method to get my music videos to play continuously.  Since upgrade to ios5, my iPad plays 1 video then stops.  Another video has to be selected before it will play.  I want it to play one after the other.  It used to work before the upgrade.

    In my case, MY MUSIC VIDEOS WON'T PLAY AT ALL! When i classify the video as movie it does play, but when i classify it as music video it doesn't play anymore. I am so ****** because I am more into music videos, I have almost 100+ music videos on my ipod 4th gen. I went to apple's service center to complain, but they only gave me silly solutions for this. Either I download all those videos again which is crazy, or I wait until apple release an update of ios 5. Grrrr!

    Yes there is.
    Go to the iTunes Store on your computer.  Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side.  Click the "All" tab on top.  The song is there.  Re-download it.

    Has anybody had this and know a fix?
    I try to play a purchased music video clip and iTunes shuts down or windows 7 shuts it down as an unexpected error.
    This only started when I updated to 10.7.
    re-loaded, reset, repaired.
    Still no go.
    Thanks

  • Can't play purchased music videos on my IPad

They play fine on my PC monitor. Any suggestions? I work in hospice and would like to share some of the music videos with my patients.

  • Videos Won't Play When Set as Music Videos

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but I looked through 11 pages and no one had quite the same issue.
    When iTunes purchased music videos are placed on my 4th gen Touch they work fine. They play under the music video category. But when I add videos purchased elsewhere or taken from youtube, they'll only play under the "movie" category.
    When under music video, the screen starts to change as if it's going to play, and then it stops and goes back. Only if I re-categorize them as movies again will they finally play.
    Can someone please tell me how to solve this?

    That isn't the problem.
    All of my files are mp4, so they're what plays on the iPod. Those very files play correctly on my iPod classic. My daughter also has the very same 4th gen Touch that I have and she isn't having this problem. Regardless of where she gets her mp4 video, it plays in the music video category the way it's supposed to. The only difference is that her software is a grade lower than the 5.0.1 that I'm using.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

  • Video won't play in app.

  • Hello, I bought a song on iTunes that has a music video to it, but I don't want the song to play the music video. How can I make it so the music video isn't played?

    Hello, iBillyxD. 
    Thank you for the question.  The best way to avoid this behavior would be to delete the music video from your library.  You can always download it again free by accessing your previous purchases.  To delete and item in your iTunes library, select the item and hit delete on your keyboard.
