I did notice the ones that do not play on my iphone say "protected AAC audio file" in the info section. The ones that play say "Purchased AAC audio file", this help any?

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do!

I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do! I dont understand why it worked in the first place when it wasn't supposed to!

There seems to be a billing problem with the iTS. I've been trying to make purchases today (Dec 9th) too and it reports either the iTS can not process payments or it says my card was declined. I even changed the payment method to Paypal (which is never declined) and still no go.
I don't think it is "you" but a problem at Apple. Some popular new apps were released recently like Logic Pro and perhaps they're getting bombarded as they did when Lion was released.
Wait a few hours and then try again.

I can't download songs from itunes directly to my iphone. I'm getting credit removed from account but all i get is 'waiting' beside the download song.

Sorry I somehow managed to click the wrong thing and made a silly mistake, as I had hoped.
Can a moderator please remove this thread as I have resolved my problem.
Kind regards,

Songs downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod

Hi, maybe someone can help me. Recently I noticed that the songs I have downloaded from itunes are not playing on my ipod. They are working fine on my computer. As far as I know all my software is up to date and I even tried backing up my files and restoring my ipod, and the songs from itunes are still not playing. Is there something else I can do?

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

Can't drag songs from iTunes library to my iPhone. Nothing has changed.

I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and added some songs from cd's to my library. At the time, I was able to copy (drag/drop) some of them to my husband's iphone. I am now trying to copy them to mine and am not able to. I've never had a problem with this before. This is not the original computer that i set up iTunes on...that one was a pc, and it died. This one is a Mac. I did have our iphones "synced" with the Mac in the Apple store. I have tried checking the "Manually manage music and videos" button, but get this message: The iPhone “Janice816's iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?". I don't want to attempt anything like this for fear of deleting everything. My iTunes and iPhone have the most current software, also. Is there an easy answer to this, or does it sound like I'll have to take everything back in for help? Thanks very much.

Iphone will sync or manually manage with one and only one computer at a time.
Syncing or manually managing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new computer.

Bought two songs from iTunes store on my iPhone 4s. Tried bringing the songs from my phone to my computer iTunes through iCloud but it doesn't even show the option to choose music?

My computer has been authorised and has the newest version of iTunes. My iPhone shoes the option of choosing my computer's music but my computer doesn't even show the option of music, but shows apps, movies, tv-shows and books. When i choose the option of find music to download from my phone, it says i have downloaded all yet i haven't and the music isn't in my library.
This was my first time when i bought anything from iTunes store and it also shows in my account information that i have bought these two songs but when trying to download them from my iCloud it doesn't work. Also when i click on the songs in my iTunes store on my computer, it says i have bought them but doesn't show the option of playing them. Is the problem in my iPhone or is this something to do with the songs' copyrights?

All songs in itunes not playing

A few real bad problems here!
1. I am running Itunes 12.0.1.26 on a PC with Windows 8.1 it's a Dell.
*after almost a year of trouble recovering all of my playlists that had gone missing due to an itunes error I was happy to find myself two days ago with itunes operational...all of my 10s of 1,000s of songs listed properly and all of my playlists appearing fine. Every song was there...itunes knew the location of each song.
BUT, now whenever I click on ANY song, itunes doesn't play it(I neither hear it nor does it appear in the top bar with the timeline moving)...this goes for ALL SONGS IN ITUNES - purchased from itunes, imported into itunes, other formats, same problem in all cases.
What I can tell you: The computer is authorized, this is not just an audio problem(system sounds is fine, headphones are fine, other programs sound is ok).
the only other thing I can say is that in recent months I get this error every single time I open ITUNES:
itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration -
I click out of it and everything works fine, for months. I looked up how to resolve that error message appearing here and deleted quicktime and reinstalled. That is the only other recent change I have made here?
I would really , really appreciate any help on this! So frustrated with the volume of itunes errors...if this doesn't work I am going to take a week off from work and move my library to Google play or other! Thanks, PJ

Hi pjholt,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iTunes; I know how frustrating that can be, especially if it was working fine just a short while ago. If none of your music is playing in iTunes, but you are not getting an error about iTunes being unable to locate the files, you may have an audio configuration issue (which would also support the error message you had been seeing). If that is the case, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Song from iTunes stops playing in the middle, only on iPod...

I have a song I purchased from iTunes. It plays all the way through on my PC, no problem. But when I try to play it on my iPod, it stops at the same point, every time, about half way through the song. I'm guessing it's a bad sync, but I'm not sure how to resync just one song. What is the best way to do that? And does it sound like my assessment is correct? Thanks.
Andrea

How you remove and resync that one track depends on how your iPod is set up to sync music from your iTunes library. For example, you have your iPod configured to sync only checked songs and videos, simply remove the tick mark next to the song in your main iTunes library and then resync your iPod.
It might not be a bad idea to try and convert it to another format as well to see if that resolves the issue. Here is more on converting the track using iTunes.

How can I listen to a song from itunes and play along with my guitar on ipad2/apogee jam?

I am trying to utilze my ipad2 for guitar practce but having a hard time getting my technology under control. I have garage band as well as the apogee jam and I can easily hook it in and play, create songs etc. But what I like to do is play along at the same time with songs from my itunes library or from youtube. whenever I switch to another app the recording feed from garage band stops until I return to the app. How do people get around this, if they do?
Thanks

Not at this time. iTunes Match downloads all music listened to on iOS devices. Period.

Songs in Itunes not playing - No Original File found

For some reason my ITUNES wont play my songs located on my computer. It has a pop up that says the Original file could not be found.

Have you moved your iTunes folder to a new location?

Why is the rented movie from iTunes not playing?

I have rented a movie from iTunes in my iPad, and it is not playing. When I press on the movie title from the iPod > purchsed section, it gives me a black/blank screen for a second or two and then takes me back to the main desk-top screen. Is there another program or step that I am missing?

Absolutely correct! Wasn't even thinking about that. LOL

You view rentals in Videos > Movies, not the iPod app.
