Since upgrade, unpurchased songs no longer playing in car. Skips to purchased songs only. Anything I can do?
Any help greatly appreciated. Years ago I downloaded some music and have been playing it for some time. Car, computer everywhere.
Now since doing the upgrade in October I can no longer play this music that was not purchased, just downloaded.
Skips ahead and will play only purchased songs.
Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks very much
I completely agree with you on it not being easy to get a list of purchases from account info. It's completely ridiculous that one can't cut/paste from that list. If you happen to have saved the confirmation emails, you can at least cut/paste from those.
itunes menu > help > provide itunes feedback
If enough people ask for it, maybe they'll change it on the account info page.
let's back up, though...are you putting these songs back into itunes after a PC reformat?
One thing to do, create a smart playlist with criteria "kind contains protected". Select all items in that smart playlist, and drag it to the green purchased playlist. Press the Skip button if you see it, so you won't get duplicates. That will add all newer itunes-plus purchased songs.
Then change that smart playlist criteria to "kind contains protected". That will add older non-plus songs.

After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play
After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play (though they still play on the computer). When I tested it on another computer it claimed that computer was not authroied to play these songs even though I was just playing them directly off the ipod. Even more strange is that I alos have a number of songs loaded on my itunes from albums I loaded and I am fairly sure these songs were ones I recorded rather than purchased but now they appear on my purchased list.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Purchased songs no longer playing on shuffle
I have continued to try and solve my suffle problems and every now and then, I am able to narrow my issue down further. My shuffle played fine until the end of October and I am still trying to get it to play!
The last thing I have noticed is that it no longer plays music that I have purchase from iTunes but it will play the music from my cds.I searched for this issue but had no luck. The only thing that I can think of that changed was when I downloaded new versions of iTunes and the latest iPod updater. I have tried to restore with older versions of iPod software but this does not fix the problem.
Any suggestions?I am not sure if the problem is related to the Sony and BMG problem.
If the songs used to play on your iPod and then stopped - I would try restoring your iPod and then reloading a variety of music. If you still find that the music loaded from your cds play but your music that was purchased from iTunes does not play then I would take your iPod into an Apple store. I found after 2 months that I could not resolve the problem and that my iPod had to be replaced. -
I can no longer see the top menu bar in itunes. where you see the status of syncing. where you have the option to click and move a song you are playing to the middle of the song, etc.
It's iTunes screen menubar:

Firefox 33.0.2 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL and hit <enter>, in which case nothing happens at all.
I have found that issue reported for Ubuntu (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011935?esab=a&as=aaq) but not for Windows. The solution there to change the keyboard is not feasible since it's a laptop with a built-in keyboard.
I did not have this issue with FF 28 (I finally upgraded because I was getting BSODs) and I don't have this issue with any other Browser on same platform.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem. -

Hi! I bought a song on itunes, and now it won't play on my computer or iPod. Itunes on my computer keeps telling me that I'm not authorized to play the song on my computer, even after reauthorizing it. Is there anything I can do to play the song?
Hello
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Could be a defective SIM. Try a new one from your carrier.

ITunes 8: randomly skips a purchased song!
If I try to play one of five recently purchased songs iTunes jumps to a random song instead. When I create a search with just the single song, there is no sound, the counter does not advance, but the play count goes crazy as if playing a zero length file over and over. Found another, older song with same symptom.
Off hand I'd say it's a corrupt file. How do I get a refund?Do you have automatic downloads turned on? (on the Mac)
"doesn't give me access to anything like the icloud icons to download the album"
Turn them on, they are off by default,

computer crashed had to factory recover OS and can not play the 2 movies i purchased prior to computer crashing can not play and can not locate! How do I recover them?
You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma. -
i just dowloaded an il divo album. when it was placed on my ipod classic it came in as 8 different songs; not listed as 1 album with 8 songs. this has happened before with other purchases. Why? How can I insure an entire album is saved as an entire album and not individual songs. And now how can I move individual songs to the album they belong in?
I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

HT1209 Some songs no longer play on iphone, but are fine in itunes library... Help!
Songs i purchased from itunes months ago play fine on my computer in itunes, but are no longer playing on my iphone. they appear in the playlist, but won't play. i took all the music off my phone and synced all over again, and they still won't play. I don't know why only about a dozen songs are affected. they were purchased at different times since last summer. I recently experienced the "lost contacts" issue and had to restore my phone from backup. could that have something to do with this?
Are these songs purchased from the iTunes store, or from your own cds?
Been through these?

Hey all,
I have been having issues with my iTunes recently, I am a member to an mp3 download site and get songs from them. They work in iTunes for a while but then a few weeks down the road they no longer work. The file is still there and they work in my gf zune application but they no longer play on iTunes!
Any ideas I am all out!I have been having a similar problem. Some MP3 files that I ripped from CD--using earlier versions of iTunes--no longer play. The odd thing is that when they go bad, it's usually a whole album that goes bad. And, I can tell which ones don't work because they lose their album cover art. Since, I've studiously added cover art to all my music, the ones without artwork stand out, and when I try to play them they just don't play--no error message or anything. When I try to covert them to AAC files it give me an error saying it can't read the file.

Can no longer play music that I previously purchased
After performing the iTunes and Quicktime upgrades last night, I discovered today that I can no longer play songs that I previously downloaded from the music store. I also cannot preview any songs in the music store, and I'm assuming that if I actually tried to purchase a song that it also wouldn't work. When I try to play a song from my iTunes library that I previously purchased, a window comes up saying that "this computer is not authorized to play this song" and requires me to enter my password. After I do that, it generally comes up with a message saying that machine authorization is successful, and that I have 2 machines authorized, although it requires me to do this every time I try a different song. After the supposed successful authorization, it starts "accessing the music store" (which makes no sense to me since these songs have been in my own library for over a year) and ultimately comes back with different error messages, including "We couldn't complete your music store request...The music store is temporarily unavailable" or just simply "there was an error in the music store" or "an unknown error occurred." The error numbers vary - 5555, 403, etc. Why is it even trying to access the music store when these are songs that are sitting in my own library?! Now iTunes is simply closing unexpectedly. I know I'm not the only one (to say the least) having problems, and I hope someone figures it out soon since we all have hundreds of dollars worth of music on our computers that we can't listen to. Unfortunately, I plugged my iPod in today to update it, and I'm scared to even find out what's been erased from it.
Alli hello,
Quit iTunes...
Download Cocktail and start the program... click on the 'interface' Icon and tick 'Show Invisible Items' then click the Restart button...
In a finder window click on the Icon that is your Boot Volume in the Side Bar ... select users ... select shared folder ... select the folder named 'SC info' and put it in the trash and empty it ... Do Not touch any other file.
Pathway looks like this HD > users > shared > SC info > SC Info.sidb
Go back to the Cocktail 'interface' window and untick Show Invisible Items and click restart .. quit Cocktail.
Start iTunes after deletinng this folder and it will prompt you to enter your authorization information again ... see now if your problem still exists...
Let's know how you get on Alli ... take care ... TP
