Some songs won't download or play from iCloud

So I recently subscribed to iTunes Match to convert about 700 old songs from Protected AAC 128kbps to the DRM free 256. Anyway most of it went over just fine (besides iTunes crashing 20 times while uploading to Match), I converted almost all my old songs to new "Matched" versions, but about 45 songs got stuck and are "grayed out". I can't download or play them. Here is an example:
[IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/jumpinstocktoyotas/itunesissue.jpg[/IMG]
Rest of the album downloaded fine but that song is stuck. Almost every album that I "matched" has at least one song like this.
Please help! I am getting very tired of all the issues with my apple products. These stuck songs, album artwork disapearing, play counts reseting, albums not grouping together properly, iTunes crashing while uploading to Match, my iPod touch crashing while listening to music... About to drop apple all together.
PC is Windows 8 64bit, iTunes is version 11.0.2.26.
Thank you.

Think I found a clue, I backed up all my DRM protected files before I started incase something like this happened. For some reason the songs that won't match are showing as purchased by my brother, but I know this isn't possible. Look at the link to the pic below, The first track (on top) is showing purchased by my brother, but the entire rest of the album is shwowing purchsed by me. So I'm supposed to believe that he bought one song on the exact same day at the exact same time as I bought the rest of the album? Something is off here...

Many albums are doing this, showing one song being bought a different account as the rest of the album, even though time a date purchsed lines up exactly...

I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

My music won't download to iPhone from icloud

my music won't download to iPhone from icloud

I'm having the same problem. I have checked the status and it says the location of the song is in iCloud. When I click on the cloud next to the song, not thing happens. It's been like that for 3 days. It does say it's "waiting"
Also, when I manually add album art, nothing happens. Still shows the generic iTunes icon.

Some songs won't copy to Ipod from Itunes

Hello all,
A bunch of songs won't transfer to my ipod and I can't figure out why...
Exact message: "Some of the items in the Itunes Library, including "..." were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod" Then it says there are "101 problems - see below"
I counted the tracks, there are actually 63. (My library has about 6000 tunes.)
I've recently upgraded to buy the new DRM free songs, but I don't see the connection.
I checked the Kind, Sample Rate, and Bit rate and there doesn't seem to be any differences between these and others.
I converted the songs to mp3-192s, trashed the originals, still won't transfer.
I still have 10GB of space left on my iPod, so it's not a space issue.
Most are songs I purchased in the I-tunes store.
The only thing these songs have in common is that they all were loaded in the same session.
They were on my iPod before I upgraded to 7.2
I'm on a G4 laptop, OS 10.4.9 1.67 PowerPC.
Running I-Tunes 7.2
Video iPod version 1.2.1

I was shocked to see your post. I was just about to paste this new thread:
After updating iPod software to 1.1.3 for my nano 8GB, there are 101 songs that iTunes refuses to sync to the nano, saying:
Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "Great Escape", were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod.
When I use the disclosure triangle to see details, all songs give the same info, for example:
"Multiply" was not copied because the file type is not supported by the iPod "My iPod".
But these are all just MP3 files. Some, if not all, of them were purchased in the iTunes store, then burned to a standard CD (aiff?), then later reloaded. They've all been played before on this iPod. I still have the original protected song files filed away, and I could pull them out, but I shouldn't have to do that. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks.

Sully, I think it is an odd coincidence that we both have "101 problems". I thought this was an iPod problem at first, but I have reset the iPod and started all over. The problem persists. I think the problem is in iTunes. In my case at least, there seems to be a list of m4p files within iTunes that were on this iPod before, files that i have replaced with regular mp3 files now, and iTunes doesn't want to copy over them. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

ITunes won't download or play from cloud.

Upon setting up my new Macbookpro, It shows my iTunes in iCloud as being ready to play. However, when I click on the song to play it, the system attempts to play it and skips to the next song. If I click on the iCloud to download it. I receive an error message. Things checked:
1. I can purchase and download new items.
2. I have a solid internet connection
3. I can stream podcasts/radio
4. Ran disk utility to repair permissions
5. All of my other devices will play from the cloud.
Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

My iPhone won't download my game from iCloud on my computer

I deleted a game, cause it was lagging. I tried to reload it, but it does not appear when I search apps. In fact when I search nothing comes up. Blank screen. I can find the game when I search in purchased. It's in the cloud. But when I try to get it from the cloud, the icon turns and turns for minutes, but still no game. How do I get my favorite game on my iPhone. Going crazy.

Try installing it manually, as outlined in link below. .

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your phone and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it, or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

HT1725 I bought an album and one of the songs won't download. It says that the file may be corrupt and to 'check available downloads' from the store menu.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

ITunes Match info says"With iTunes Match, you can download some or all of your music directly from iCloud on a total of up to 10 devices and computers." but when I try to add a computer it tells me i have reached my maximum of 5 computers.

You have old computers authorized that you are no longer using more than likely.
From http://www.apple.com/itunes/features/
Authorize and Deauthorize
Purchases you make from the iTunes Store can be played on up to five computers that you authorize using your iTunes Store account name and password. To authorize or deauthorize a single computer, choose Authorize This Computer or Deauthorize This Computer from the Store menu. If all five authorizations are being used, you can deauthorize all your computers at one time by choosing View My Account from the Store menu and selecting Deauthorize All.
You can then restart the authorization process with each current device.

Only half of the book will download and play from my ipod. Help!

I have purchased several audio books on itunes. Most of them download and play just fine. There are four or five of them that download in two separate halves. The entire book will download and play from the itunes library on my computer. However, only the first half of each book will download and play on my ipod. The other half shows up on my ipod, but it is greyed out and won't play.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

My iPod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from iTunes

my ipod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from itunes

If you use automatic syncing, select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Podcasts there. This is the Podcasts tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts.
Sync Podcasts is checkmarked for automatic syncing. Below that, set up the Podcasts tab to sync podcasts as desired. For example, you can set it to Automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts. The "all unplayed" option gets new podcasts episodes to sync automatically. Select the podcasts below.
When you click Apply, your selection on the Podcasts tab (and the other tabs... Music, Books, etc.) sync to the iPod. If the iPod was NOT previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.

HT201318 Whats a quick way to download all of my songs and movies on my mac from iCloud?

Whats a quick way to download all of my songs and videos on my mac from icloud?

If you're trying to download music and movies purchased from the iTunes store to your Mac, download them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. If you're trying to transfer them from your Mac to your iOS devices, sync them with iTunes. (iCloud doesn't transfer videos, and it only makes your music available if you subscribe to iTunes Match or redownload them from the iTunes store.)

I have the same problem on my Windows 7 computer. In the right-click menu for a song one option is DELETE. However when I click that option the next window is to HIDE instead of DELETE. Apple, please help us with this.
