    Hello CTGame,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s a grayed out song in your iTunes library that can’t be played or downloaded again like other past purchases. Try taking a look at the article linked below and verify the computer is authorized to play that content.
    How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
    Songs appear to be missing
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match. To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for to play a specific song:
    Locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column. Write it down.
    Click OK.
    Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
    Type in the account name from the Summary field and enter its password. Click Authorize.
    Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    So long,
    -Jason

  • Just bought a new album and one of the songs won't play, how do I get it to play?

    What do you mean by "won't play"?
    Try deleting the song and downloading it again from the iTunes Store.

  • ITunes Match is having errors d/l songs to my iPhone 4s. Then I can't delete them, and it says some songs are playing when they aren't. I've restored my iPhone, same issue.

    According to this article  Using iPhone on an airplane  you should be able to listen to music with Airplay Mode enabled.
    Make sure you have Music switched on in Settings > Store or your music won't download via Wi-Fi.

  • I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?

    I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?
    This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

    This is a followup to my own posting above.
    Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted.  I deleted the app from iTunes.  Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes.  I said yes and then synched.
    Readdledocs is now working again.  It is no longer frozen.  However, I have learned my lesson.  I will download only pdf's from now on.  I don't think it works so well with epub files.  The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

  • I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

  • TS1389 One of my purchased songs won't play. Every time I try to play the song it says to authorize my computer. I have repeatedly tried logging in to authorize this song and it isn't working. The problem is only happening with one song.

    I purchased a bunch of songs last month and one song won't play. Every time I try to play it the window pops up to authorize my computer to play that particular purchase. I tried all of the suggestions that Itunes support send me to. Nothing has worked so far. The song is on my account as a purchased item along with the other items that I purchased the same day. Does anyone have any ideas??

    The very same thing has happened to me today...........?  Could it be a song pending release?  Seems unlikely.  Please post any resolutions.

  • TS1424 I purchased songs from an EP then bought the album once it was released and have been charged twice for the same song when I already own it. How do I get refunded?

  • Purchased song won't play due to authorization

    I purchased 42 songs and all of them play fine except one.  It keeps giving me an error that my computer is not authorized to play it.  I can't play it on my ipod or on my Mac in itunes.  I purchased all in the same session, at the same time on the same computer.  What can I do?  ITunes won't let me purchase again.  The only option is to play the song but it won't play.  Please help.

    Is it listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
    If so then delete and the redownload.
    If not listed on a computer go to iTunes>Store>View Account>Sign In and then go to purchase History to see if it is listed.

  • Cloud storage / Purchased songs won't play

    Previously when I bought albums and songs wouldn't play, I deleted then re-dl'ed from the cloud but that option is not available anymore. What do I with songs that won't play? And do we now have to pay for cloud storage?

    You can redownload songs (depending upon what country that you are in) via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage :
    If the songs don't have the cloud symbol next to them then how did you delete them ? If they tracks are still listed in the Music part of your iTunes library (e.g. you just deleted the actual music files from your computer, not from your iTunes library) then delete them from there and they should then get the cloud symbol against them in Purchased (click on the cloud to download them).

  • 2 out of 3 purchased songs won't play.....

    Hi,
    I recently purchased 3 songs on iTunes. Only one of them will play on my iPod, but it shows that all 3 are installed on the iPod. The only thing I can think of is that the other 2 have explicit lyrics. I have checked all of my settings and nothing for parental control is checked. Can someone help me with this? If so, please help!! Thanks.

    Have you deleted it and downloaded it again?

  • Purchased song won't play anymore on iPhone 4s

    I've only noticed it on one song so far but no matter what I do it won't play.  I can play it on my computer but not on my iPhone.  What can I do to make it work?

    I have the exact same problem.

  • TS1424 Specific purchased songs do not play correctly

    I purchased the album "Into the Labyrinth" by the artist Dead Can Dance for 9.99. Some of the songs will not play all the way through, and a few will not play at all. I searched through Itunes support and was unable to find any advice on this issue. Any suggestions? I use the newest version of Itunes, and have never had this problem before.
    Thanks

  • HT1725 Purchased song won't play

    One of the songs on an album I purchased stops in the middle of the song. I have tried re-downloading from the itunes store under the "purchased" link without any luck. How can I fix this?

    Doublechecking. Did you delete the song (and associated file) from your library prior to the redownload attempt?

  • Burned and purchased songs won't play in iTunes

    My wife got a new computer.  Really nice rig.  Runs Windows 7.  And with that a new iTunes installation (she never installed the new one.  she doesn't like change).  All the songs she burned from CDs, and I was just informed all the songs she's bought, show up in iTunes, but won't play (I imported ALOT of stuff from an external HD onto the new computer).  The music files still exist in the iTunes music folder.  She can even play the song if she manually clicks on the file in that folder.  But try to play the same song through iTunes and no luck.  It's rather frustrating for her.  And this kind of stuff doesn't exactly endear me to iTunes stuff either (and don't get me started on GameCenter on my iPhone).
    Anyone know what's causing this issue and how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    The folder you see as My Music is really called Music. Windows will present such special folders with different names depending on the context, so the same folder on my computer when viewed from another user's account would show up as Steve's Music.
    What we haven't established yet is the layout of the (original) media folder which is why I suggested the other route first followed by a clean up, however I was going to recommend that you rearranged things into the standard layout and from what I can see there is no reason why it shouldn't work if you just put things where they are expected to be right now.
    Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    Note that in the newer layout all artist folders go into a Music subfolder within the media folder.
    If you move everything that is currently inside iTunes Music into iTunes Media, including the hidden file iTunes Preferences.plist, iTunes should pick it all up without further problems.
    Once iTunes is in touch with the media if the artist folders are at the level of iTunes Media rather than iTunes Media\Music use the option File > Library > Organize Library... > Rearrange files in the folder "iTunes Media".
