TS1389 I have a single song I am unable to play because it asks to be authorized.

I have a single song I am unable to play because it asks to be authorized.
I do, and then it says my computer is already authorised, but it still won't play and repeats the cycle.
What do I do? It won't play on my computer, online, or on my ipod.
And yes, I've restarted my computer.

This may be a sign of a corrupt purchased file. Assuming that it was purchased from the iTunes store and iTunes in the Cloud is avaiable where you are, delete the problem file, close iTunes, reopen, then download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer. If redownloading is not an option contact iTunes store support through the report a problem links in your account history.

I had this same problem and started a thread, but for the most part nobody responded and those who did somehow didn't understand what the problem was.

I'm sure the problem is sweat getting into the apple supplied headphone "remote." Basically even the smallest drop can slide down the wire and get into the unit.
Unfortunately I haven't found a solution other than to get a Belkin remote adapter and some sport headphones. This doesn't give you voice over, but you can still control the volume, skip, etc.
I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and it hasn't had a freak out since.

I have songs on my computer that won't play because they need to be authorized. The e-mail that popped up is long forgotten. Help!

You can contact iTunes Customer Support on this issue. I had the same problem once & they were able to fix the problem for me. Contact them at [email protected] They will get back to you ASAP.

Songs wont play because 'the computer is not authorized' ...??

Some of my songs won't play because 'the computer is not authorized' but when I authorize it, it says it's already authorsized??
Can anyone help with this? I tried deauthorizing the computer, but same thing.

Same problem. Not sure if it's since updated to Mavericks or iTunes updated. Must be one of the two as it has never happened before. Tried updating iTunes but still happens.
On one album I bought for example, it will only play certain songs; others it will tell me it needs authourising and then go ahead and tell me that it's already authourised. Fun.
Obviously this is a problem that has been happening for a long long time judging by previous discussions but yet to see any that had a solution!

Can I have a single song listed under separate artists?

Is it possible to have a single instance of a song appear in the lists for 2 separate artists? Is the only solution to have redundant copies of the song appear in each artist's folder?

GKlima,
You are correct. The only way to do it is to have multiple copies of the song file.

TS1389 i have purchased many songs on my computer, now it won't let me purchase without answering security questions, and i can't remember answers!

i have purchased many songs on my current computer, but when i went on itunes tonight, i had to answer security questions, of course i can't remember the damned answers! what do i need to do?

Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

I have over 9000 songs and over half wont play in my itunes how do i get them all to work

I have over 9000 songs in my itunes and over half of them wont play how do i make it so that all of them will play and i have a windows 7 os installed

You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

I am trying to sync my iPod, and while attempting it I am getting the error message "(whatever the song name is) cannot be downloaded because your computer is not authorized", but when I go to authorize my computer, it says it already is authorized. ???

While trying to sync my ipod, I keep getting the message "(songs) could not be downloaded because the computer is not authorized", but it is. It says there are 100 songs that will not download. What is the problem? Also, I have loaded some music from CDs onto my itunes, and some of them are not loading onto my ipod when I sync . . .

Maybe:

TS1389 I have a missing song on a previously purchased album. It is listed on my itunes library, but cannot be found anywhere on my computer. The rest of the album is fine. How do I re-download it when it thinks I already have?

I bought an album in 2010. As far as I knew it was complete, but now it shows a ! next to one song on my iTunes library. When I sync, the song "cannot be found". The album is still available in the store.
I cannot work out how to re-download the song because my computer and the store think I have it already.
help please!

Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you are in, it can't be done in all countries. What you can redownload will show via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If music shows there but that tracks doesn't have the cloud symbol against it for redownloading, then delete it from the Music part of your library (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' message) and it should then get the cloud symbol against it for redownloading.
If you aren't in a country where music can be redownloaded then you don't have a copy of it anywhere e.g. on an iPod or your backup of your downloads/library ?

I have a single song that is on my iPod Classic 7 but the artist does not appear and under "artists" in the music it doesn't appear, nor does it in albums. All the information on the song is correct the artist just will not appear. Why is this?

All the information is correct and filled correctly, I have chacked seven times, but it still will not appear, why?

Any funny characters in the artist or album names? I take it that it is not hiding for the reasons given in Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist? Sort fields can sometimes cause items to be listed in a different place within the list. Can you find it using search on the device?

So, I have had the Ipod 4th generation for about a year now, and I have never had any trouble adding music onto my ipod until this latest version of itunes came out. Now, I cannot add any more music onto my ipod! I Have grayed out songs that I can't play

So, I have had an Ipod touch (fourth generation) for a little less than a year now, and I have never had any problems with it until the latest version of itunes came out. Now, my ipod never can sync (I left it up for an hour before and it only got to step 2 out of 7), and I can't add any more music to my ipod! To make it worse, about 100 songs that I had deleted off my ipod, but could still be found in my itunes library, appeared again on my ipod! But, they are grayed out and I can't listen to them so they just take up space.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

TS1424 I have downloaded a song and it will only play the first 18 seconds and starts again?

I downloaded Clique by Kanye West on itunes and it all appered normal until you try to play the song either on my computer or iphone it plays the first 18 seconds and then goes to the next song even though it says the song is 4:52 any ideas how to fix this?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) have you tried deleting it from your iTunes library and redownloading it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? Re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account 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.

HT1933 I have downloaded a song, but it won't play. How can I fix this?

Hi,
I recently downloaded a song and it appears on my songlist, but will not play when I press it. Just checked to see if I still had my email receipt, but I must have deleted it by accident.
How can I get this resolved?
Thanks,
Annie

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, 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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I bought a second hand ipad mini and the owner forgot his apple id password i have reset the ipad but i cant deactivate it because its asking for the apple id password i have try to reset the password but its asking security questions what should i do?

Please help? How can i activate second hand ipad if its asking the old apple id password?

Take it back. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure and there is no way to bypass it. The seller should have wiped it clean for you and if they can't then it's a very real possibility that the device wasn't theirs to sell in the first place.
You bought a device that can never function so get your money back.
