Song purches with itunes 6.1 wont play with itunes 4

I've purchased a song on one computer with itunes 6.1
Now that I tried to listen to it on my laptop from work with version 4 on authorization I am told that I need at least version 6.0 in order to purchase???? It is just that I cannot just install any new software on my work laptop. Why can I not even listen to music that I've paid for on two devices? I am using the same account. Usually I synchronize my nano with my computer at home - what would haven if I would try to do so with my laptop? Does that mean this would be the fourth device or will it be still the third??? I think this is really annoying.
Thank you.

Why can I not even listen to music that I've paid for on two devices?
This is something new with iTunes 6.
Songs purchased with iTunes 6 can only be played in iTunes 6... not previous versions.
If you can't upgrade your iTunes 4 machine... then you can just purchase your music using iTunes 4, and it will work in both systems.

I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

What fixed it for me:
On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
Let it run and finish
Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

I've bought songs on itunes and they wont play on my iphone

I've bought songs on itunes and they wont play on my iphone because a cloud is showing but wont download the song...frustrated!!! Sometimes I can listen to them and then the next day there's a cloud showing.

On your iPhone tap Settings > iTunes & App Store then make sure Music is switched ON.

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3, and there is no option to download again

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3 and there is no option to download again?

Hey KMK14,
I understand you are having issues with a few tracks in iTunes. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the song from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
For more information, see the following:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Songs stay at 0:00 and wont play

I use my ipod often, and today when i tried to play it all of the songs stay at 0:00 and wont play. I tried resetting it with the menu and select keys, tried the self help "5 steps youd ever need" guide, and i've also tried restoring it and adding all the songs back onto it. Still no luck. I'm on xp pro, and ive never had any problems with my ipod before. Any input is appreciated!

I am getting that exact same problem. My 30gb ipod video worked completely fine yesterday, I had a lightning storm last night and my power went out. It didn't effect my ipod because it wasn't plugged into anything. But this morning, I tried to play a song and it would just skip right over it.
I noticed it was just the ones I bought on itunes. The songs I took from CD's work fine. I've tried plugging it into my computer and unplugging it. Nothing seems to work.
When I plug it in, every song plays normally. Its just when I unplug it and try to listen.

HT1727 i copied itune music from old hard drive to memory disk the copied onto new hard drive into itunes and music wont play unless removalbe disk is inserted

Then your iTunes must be looking at the removable disc, not your hard drive. Did you actually copy the songs onto your computer, or simply tell iTunes to look at the removable drive?
Highlight a song and click on File/Get Info/Summary>Where and check the location that iTunes has listed for the song. What does it say?

I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
hope others find this useful.

Iphone 4, cant recieve media text with sound sound is seperate and wont play with pictures.

when recieving media messages the sound seperates into quicktime and wont play with photo.

I have been experiencing this problem for the last few days. I've tried going in to settings and changing things on the sound menu but to no avail. I can get no sound on my videos, Internet videos and I can't change the volume setting when the phone is on the home page.
I originally thought it might be a problem with the volume buttons on the side of the phone but they work for voice memo sounds. That audio seems to come from the ear piece so I wonder is there a problem with the speakers on the bottom of the phone.
Any ideas on what's wrong? Did I possibly change some settings without realising? Is there a menu to change volume settings for videos?
I'm going I go into an apple shop when I'm near one because this is driving me crazy!

I have downloaded a book from itunes but it wont play. It says it has downloaded and i have checked this against the store.

I've had similar issues. Turning off firewalls seems to help the download to complete properly. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the problem might be.

Itunes downloaded tv show plays on itunes, not on ipod. PLEASE HELP !

I have downloaded TV programs from the ITunes store. They play in Itunes and appear in the listings on my Ipod. However, when I click on them to play them, the little Play symbol appears, the screen goes dark for about 10 seconds and then it returns to the list. All the latest software is on. This is a new Ipod. Everything else seems to work. Any thoughts? PLEASE HELP ME, i'm sort of hopeless at this...
thanks !

Also make sure if your iPod software is up to date.
Update iPod > Update Version 1.1.1

They will be gone from the iphone, but you should be syning all contacts to your computer regularly and should be importing all pics to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.
Have you failed to do this?

Song wont play in iTunes - computer needs authorization but is already authorized?

I click to play a song in iTunes (which also purchased from iTunes) but am shown the message "This computer is not authorized to play [song title]. Would you like to authorize it now?". I enter in my username and password to authorize and am told "your computer is already authorized". I even tried to deauthorize then reauthorize but the song still wont play, and this cycle continues.
Every other song on the release plays with no issues - this one track is the only one that wont.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi davisonnosivad,
I would recommend starting with these steps:

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?
