Store purchases wont play on iPod

I just purchased an album from the iTunes store. I am able to play the tracks on my PC directly from my hard drive and I am able to play the tracks from my iPod through iTunes on my PC. When I disconnect my iPod and try to play the album directly from the iPod it just skips past each song. I see the album and all the tracks on my iPod, but none of the songs will play. I have downloaded store purchases on this same PC before and never had a problem playing them on this iPod. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian

I just got it working.. I copied all of the tracks from the PC where I originaly downloaded the files to another PC that I have authorized in iTunes. I imported the songs into iTunes, deleted the files from my iPod and readded them to my iPod and it works. I have used both machines to purchase and transfer songs to my iPod in the past, I dont know why I had a problem this time..
Thanks again,
Brian

    1) When I go to the apple.com website my computer will either be really slow or freeze my whole system down to where I have to reboot my computer again. This does not happen all the time but when it does operate it is molasses slow.
    By any chance, are you uswing Kaspersky security software?
    If so, see:

    Hey nolefan334,
    It sounds like you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize. I would try the suggestions in the following article:

  • HT201272 some games already purchased, wont play like skies of glorys and red tails, and being billed again for items already purchased

    why are some games like skies of glory and red tails will download then start with the titles but wont play, they played before the last update IO 6. I have deleted them and reloaded them, still wont play.
    and when restoring previous purchased items I am being billed again!!! seriously peed off!
    any clues

    I know this stuff is 3 months old but I just got mine and hadn't yet used the pin function so now I know.
    I hope you are right Nancy that it will have updates, but I really doubt it. This is the norm for Microsoft when stuff they put out bombs. Dish Network had a DVR receiver many years ago that had Microsoft software installed and it was buggy to say the least. They updated it a few times but then abandon it. For a few years Microsoft wouldn't release the code to Dish Network to allow DN to fix the bugs. It was a real "Hate Microsoft" time for those users. DN had to put out their own coded DVR receivers and let the Microsoft ones die.
    I think VZ made a deal with MS and removed the stuff MS wasn't supporting. Then VZ put them out without needing a data package to unload them.

  • Purchased music from itunes music store doesn't play on ipod Mini

    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

  • Purchased music wont play on ipod

    music bought and downloaded from itunes music store (Australia) will not play on my ipod. it skips through the playlists and then goes back to the main menu or just dosnt play the song at. need help please.

    Re your music, does any music purchased previously from itunes run on your ipod? My daughter's ipod mini is displaying the similar symptoms, an album she bought and downloaded has stopped playing, deleting and re-loading got it working again but within the week it was back to skipping through the list again. It's only this one album that has been affected,older purchases are working fine. She has the latest software on her ipod and iTunes.

  • HT4743 Tv shows purchased wont play through tv, error says cant access iTunes store

    Need assistance viewing tv show purchased on ipad, through Apple TV, get error can't access iTunes Store

    Hi - I am now having this same exact problem on my Mac laptop.   I have many Breaking Bad, etc TV shows that I purchased through itunes & have watched over the years & now all of those, as well as, any new shows I purchase will not play on my laptop.    Just same as above person -- a black screen that appears to be playing movie (the timer is actually playing)  but no video or sound.    Shows / Movies all work fine on my home computer.  
    On my laptop it keeps saying .. "Not authorized to play .... & then says  "Sign into Itunes.. "   - but I  do sign out & sign  back in & still nothing happens.   Very annoying and frustrating as I  can ususlly figure things out with perserverence and trial & error. 

  • A song wont play my ipod

    i put the song low on it and it plays the beginning but that all then goes to the next song the video wont work either and i really need help to fix it so please help me.

    So you've tried re-importing those songs into your iTunes library again, too?
    Well, are these songs from the iTunes Store, or not?
    If they are from the iTS, try checking out this article about that problem:
    iPod doesn't play purchased content from the iTunes Store
    It might not be your iPod, but the files themselves.
    Try this:
    Import either a new CD into iTunes library, or just a second copy of one of the albums that's currently on your iPod.
    Now, sync that to your iPod, as well as all the song files that work, these ten tracks that don't work, etc.
    Does this newly imported album work or not?

  • ITunes store purchase, repeatedly sychs to iPod.

    When I sync my iPod, I have one album, that I purchased from the iTunes store that shows to be importing to my iPod. This happens every time I sync it. The album IS on my iPod, it plays with no problem, any idea why it syncs repeatedly?  It's not making multiple copies, so it's not a major issue, I'm just curious why it does this. I've purchased ablums since this started and it's only this one particular album.
    Thanks

    If you can't locate the desired books in audiobook format in the iTunes Store, I'm afraid your only option is to see if you can find it anywhere else for download such as from your local library or Audible.

  • Oxford Analytica Video briefing wont play on iPod video?

    I have a 30Gb iPod video and have downloaded one of the Oxford Analytica video briefings from iTunes. It plays fine in iTunes, I have then used convert selection for iPod which appears to run correctly. The file is MPEG-4 at 128kbps and a sample rate of 48KHz steriio with a low complexity profile. I have iTunes 7.2 if that helps.
    When I try and transfer this to my iPod is says that the file is not compatible. Can anyone tell me why as on the face of it, it appears that it is and should be, but it wont work.
    regards
    Rob

    Well, that rules out all the easy answers. Have you tried restoring the iPod? Hopefully, someone else will have other suggestions.
    Best of luck.
