Single song wont play/add to itunes

Just recently a song wouldnt play when I played it with itunes..after messing around with it trying to fix it i removed it from the library and the .mp3 file wont even add to the itunes library now. Im using vista and ive checked all the security problems and such..It is a song i used to play frequently so im stumped as to why it would randomly stop? If i double click the song it will open itunes but will not play and does not add it to the library. Any ideas?

Single song wont play on my ipod

I have one new song in particular that will not play on my iPod. It works fine on my computer in iTunes, but in my iPod when I try to play it, the iPod hangs for about two seconds, and then skips over to the next song.
I figured that the file must have been corrupted somehow even though it worked on my PC, so I deleted it from my PC. I then synced my iPod and chose not to transfer it so it would be removed from my iPod as well. Then, I spent the 99 cents to just buy it again. Brand new download, and the same problem is still happening.
Any help would be appreciated.

The only suggestion I could make is to ensure that the song is aac format and/or under a certain file size. I had a problem with one song also and converting to aac fixed it-- probably because the file size was dramatically reduced by the conversion. However, if you purchased this song from the iTunes store it should be in aac it think.

SONG WONT PLAY ON ITUNES

on march 24th i believe or recently i purchased the new KIP MOORE CD. and it is amazing. and been listening to it non stop ever since. well just last night when i was listening to the cd on my ipod i realized the first song kept getting skipped. so when i got home i got on itunes and clicked it. the pop up came up saying you are not authorized to play this song. so i signed in. and it tells me that i my computer is already autherized. and skips to the next song. so i was reading and i read to deauthorized everything i did that. and still same thing. so what do i need to do now. is there some way to fix this. ... now i did download it last night to my laptop. and it plays but on my iPod and main computer the song wont play at all. wont even burn to a cd to listening to it.. please help me. i wouldnt mind if it was a song that sucked but it is an amazing song. thanks.

ap, have you moved the song files on your computer that have the exclamation point next to them? Try playing them in iTunes and see if a window doesn't come up asking you to locate the file. Also, there might be something wrong with the song file that is keeping iTunes from syncing it to your iPod. Do all these songs have something in common that you might recognize?

I upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS8 Most of my iTunes songs wont play I get a red square in a circle

I upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS8 Most of my iTunes songs wont play I get a red square in a circle on the right side. This is maddening!!

iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.

9 songs wont play

Hi... just bought the album "Capture/Release" by The Rakes.
And for some reason I can't play 9 songs: 22 Grand Job, Open Book, The Guilt, Binary Love, We Are All Animals, Violent, Terror!, Work Work Work (Pub Club Sleep), All Too Human.
These songs are on my iPod but when I press play nothing happens. While the 3 remaining songs (Strasbourg, Retreat, T Bone) everything is normal.
I emailed support... and no offense to them but they gave me a crappy service. Maybe they think everybody has an iPod Shuffle, by just giving me the iPod Reset Utility for that model.
So I tried to reset my iPod through iTunes and didn't work.
Then I used another iPod... and songs wont play.
I emailed support again and apparently they are just going to ignore me.
So can you help me?!
Sorry if I sound rude BTW.

Hi-
This probably doesn't help, per say, but it'll enlighten you.
I got an iTunes gift card for xmas for $25 this past season. I used it, tried to download my movies, nothing happened. When I went back to look, my account claimed I DID download them. Being that you can't download more than once, I obviously couldn't try again. So $25 went to Apple and I didn't get a single leased tune, TV show, or movie from them. I saw leased because it's not truly ownership, they have too many limitations that real ownership doesn't contain.
So long story short, I contacted Apple a few times and they've ignored me as well. I even told them I've spoken to my attorney and promised suit for not just this incident, but incidences that have cost me thousands of dollars in the past. Would you believe they still haven't replied? Let's hope they have a good excuse in court.
Feel free to email me directly with questions:

I recently purchased songs from my iphone. All good... But I then went to put them on my ipod touch. They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour and there is a downlaod symbol in front of the song title. what do i do next?? They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

Song wont play even after purchase.

song wont play after purchase from itunes nor the album cover picture wont show need help!!

You might have a bad download. Contact the iTunes Store support and see if you can download the song again.

TS1702 song wont play

Hi, I downloaded a song on via my iphone 4S. When I synched it up to my macbook, the song wont play on either my macbook or iphone. The message states 'you must authorise song on this device'. I then type in my password and it states '5 out of 5 devices authorised'. This is obviously wrong because I only have it on two devices and second of all, why is this such a massive pile of ****? I pay £1800 for a mac book, £700 for a top of the range iphone 4S and then pay 99p for a song and cant play it on any device. If I had bought the CD, I could have put it on as many devices as I like and given it to as many people as I like. Can somone please tell me how I can either get my money back for the song or get it to play? Also, several music videos I have downloaded, stop after the first 30 seconds and wont play. Any help would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.

Downloaded an album and half of the songs wont play.

I downloaded The Fault in Our Stars album and most of the songs wont play, it just skips to a song that actually works.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Help my songs wont play on my nano

Hi
I've just spend the last 2 days recording all my old CDs onto my PS3 and then transfered them onto my netbook and my new nano. I did it this way because my netbook doesn't have a CD drive to copy them directly.
I though i'd finished but then I realised the songs wont actually play on my ipod. They have transfered onto it, titles and all but they wont actually play. When I press play to cover art comes up and even the bar at the bottom that tells you how long the song is, but it wont actually play.
All the songs are playing fine on itunes its just the ones on the ipod that are the problem. I imported a few songs using home sharing and these are the only ones that seem to be playing back ok on the ipod.
Does anyone have any ideas please? I hate to think I wasted all that time importing them
Many Thanks
Danny

Check to see if you can play sound with other programs. I did this and found that none of my audio worked. The problem wasn't with iTunes (even though the iTunes error message indicated that it was).
I fixed by audio output and everything is working fine.

My recently purchased songs wont play, popup says unable to locate

my recently purchased songs wont play in itunes, album grafics keep disappearing, pop up says original file could not be found. Also my ipod freezes up when I try to play these songs on it.

Hello musiccc
That means that iTunes cannot find the file to play. The article below will assist with finding the files on your computer. If they are not on your computer, then delete them in iTunes so you can download those purchases again.

My Most recently purchased songs wont play

So after updating my phone to iOS 6.1, my 3 newest songs wont play. These songs were purchased from iTines so it shouldnt be a licensing or format issue. The song shows up on my phone, but when i press it to play it, it skips to the next song. When i connect my phone to my computer and look under songs on iphone, its not there, but it is in the library. Because its not listed on my phone, i cant delete it to re-download it. Also, look at the attached picture, youll notice the song becuse its grey and has a ring next to it. What does it mean and how can i fix it.
