Relicensing error - music cannot be relicensed

Is anyone experiencing this OviPlayer error on PC when trying to play tracks from their expired (or indeed active) Music Unlimited subscription (UK store)?
This music cannot be relicenced.
You can only re-license Ovi Music Unlimited songs that you've downloaded yourself - see your download history for a complete list. Ovi Music Unlimited songs sent to you by other people cannot be re-licensed once your subscription ends.
I am getting this message on over half my music collection (some whole albums do not play, some tracks within an album play, others don't) and redownloading the album and/or individual tracks does not help.
This has only started happening since my Music Unlimited sub ended in March 2011.
For info, my music collection is stored on a NAS and played using Oviplayer from PC running Windows 7.
Technical support have been aware of this problem with my account for about 4 weeks now and despite it being escalated, have yet to proffer a solution that works.
It would be interesting to know if anyone else is experiencing similar issues?

Hi,
I'm currently experiencing the same problem. Some of the most recent downloads work fine but the older stuff does not.
My pc needed reimaging so I backed up my music and copied it back. Registered my PC again and tried playing music. It first asked me to d/l some licensing software and then get a box for Relicensing in progress Your music is being relicensed. It should be ready any minute now...
That fails.
I then get a message box with the following.
The license for the music cannot be found
Follow these steps:
1. Delete this file. If it is part of an album, delete the whole album.
2. Sign into Ovi on PC.
3. Go to your download history and re-download the music you deleted in step 1.
The parameter is incorrect.
And a Try Again and a Cancel button.
I really don't want to download my entire collection again as that just sounds pointless, never mind painful, time consuming and costly as we have download limits in Oz.
However I thought I'd try it on one album and got the following.
This music cannot be relicenced.You can only re-license Ovi Music Unlimited songs that you've downloaded yourself - see your download history for a complete list. Ovi Music Unlimited songs sent to you by other people cannot be re-licensed once your subscription ends.
Which makes no sense as I downloaded the album from my Account history and it does not belong to anyone else.
The licensing error pre-dated my pc reimage problems and also started after the subscription finished. The same error happened on my phone.
Does anyone know of a resolution?

Error - Music Cannot Be Played on this iPod?

I bought an audio book from iTunes, "The Chronicles of Narnia (Audio Drama)".
When buying it, I had the intent of copying it to my iPod and listening to it at work.
Most of it copied over just fine, but five of the files said "cannot be played on this iPod." I'm really upset! Why would they sell something not compatible with my iPod?
I have a iPod Nano 6th Gen.
Is there a way to force these five files to play on my iPod?
Thank you.
EDIT: It's a 16GB and it still says I have 8GB of space free.

I am in a similar boat. I added several new podcasts to iTunes 7 and they sync's as normal. But instead of playing, they caused my iPod (5th Gen) to crash and reboot. These are voice only. I reset several times but no joy.
I have my iPod doing a Restore as I write this. As it started I had a message that one podcast which has 4 video episodes is not compatible. Yet it was on there 30 minutes ago and I had no notice then of compatibility issues.
It was not one that caused the iPod to crash. Those that did had similar info as to encoding parameters and versions as podcasts which play fine. I am now waiting for the restore to finish so I can see if the same culprits that caused the crashes do so now.

I am using a 2003 eMac and am running on Mac OSX vs 10.4.11. I amrunning iTunes 8.2.1 (6) and not able to upgrade iTunes on this computer. iTunes is not recognizing music I have purchased and when I try to connect when it request me to I get the following error message:
Cannot complete iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed (-42404)
Please help.

Is this music purchased back in DRM days? I don't actually have any iTunes music so I can't test with my iTunes 7.5, but I know that without iTunes 10 you cannot even connect to the store anymore. I wouldn't think that would require an active connection to the store all the time, otherwise how could you play music on a computer in the middle of nowhere? Did you do something to trigger iTunes suddenly wanting to connect and check on machine authorization?

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

Did you try setting itunes to run with administrator privileges?
Since I changed that I no longer have this issue

The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file devices transfer purchases.

The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file>devices>transfer purchases. It is successful. Updated to ios7 recently. I'm facing the problem since then. I've tried deauthorizing and then authorizing several times.

Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

Error message "cannot locate file"

I purchased a new computer and used Detto Intelli Mover to transfer all my music files. When I opened the library, they all appeared to be there, but when I try to plan anything I get an error message "cannot locate file" This happens with all of my 1,200 songs. The error message also says "would you like to look", but I am unable to locate then. Can anyone help with this?

Have you added all the songs to the library? Just by dragging and dropping?

I would be grateful if someone could direct me to the where I can find the solution to the problem of most of my music not being available to listen too and the message ''your music cannot be found as the original file could not be found''

I have lost acess to most of my music in my itunes on my computer. I have a modern newish computer with windows 7 software and the latest version 11 Apple itunes software. Now all I get is amessage stating '' music cannot be found as original file cannot be found.'' I do not understand what I have to do to track down were the music is now filed as I understand that it somehow has been ''moved'' [how does this happen???] and itunes cannot find it.
Thanks, I suspect this is a common problem but quite disturbing after many years of using itunes.

Hi, spurrdoc.
Thank you for the question. The error that you are receiving usually indicates that the file or files are either missing completely from the computer or that the files are in a location that iTunes is set to read. This is easily correctable if the media is on the computer. The article below will help you locate your media.

I have also included an article walks you through moving your iTunes media or directing iTunes to the media folder once located.

The volume "Music" cannot be found! Help how do I fix this??

Hello,
I was a happy macbook user living in Hong Kong until the my Macbook hard drive suddenly made clanking noises and failed.
I had my computer serviced by CASE and they replaced the hard drive, but took a month and two weeks do it.
Now I finally have my Macbook back, but now when I click on "Movies", "Music", or "Pictures" I get the following error: The volume "Movies" cannot be found, The volume "Music" cannot be found, and The volume "Pictures" cannot be found.
I imagine this has something to do with the shortcut pointing to the wrong path. How can I correct this??? Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter, and a warm welcome to the forums!

Great deduction on your part!
I take it your clicking on the Icons in the Sidebar of the Finder Windows?
If so, simply drag them off the side of the window.
Then to put good ones in their place, open your Home Folder, the house Icon with your shortname, find the folders you want & drag them to the sidebar of the window where you drug the others from... arrange as you wish by dragging.

I downloaded my pc music into my Ipad This music cannot be played by Sonos?

Pc music downloaded in Ipad. However this music cannot be played by Sonos. How is this possible?

Not quite like the other problems posted, but giving me a headache.
I went on Itunes and bought Peggle for my 5th Generation 60GB iPod.
The game was listed as working on my model so I went ahead and bought the game but after it downloaded it would not sync onto my iPod.
It is autherized, the file is in iTunes, and everything seems alright but when I try to sync it onto my iPod an error either comes up as "The iPod cannot be synced. The required file be found." or ""Peggle.ipg" was not copied to the iPod... because it cannot be played on this iPod."
What is wrong and how do I fix it???

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
