Unable to play purchased music or film

After purchasing and downloading music and vidio to my iPhone they show up but do not play help

I just updated my iPhone 3Gs to 4.0.1 today. After that, I purchased two TV episodes from the iTunes app on my phone. They downloaded, but are not showing up in the iPod app. I tried to buy them again, and the iTunes app told me they'd already been purchased.
I'm getting on an airplane in a matter of hours, and I am not currently able to sync my phone. 1. Is there anyway to get the episodes to show up on my phone (since they were purchased and downloaded onto the phone) without syncing? (2. Why is this happening? Something I purchase with the phone and download onto the phone should play on the phone!) Help, please?

  • Unable to play purchased music after successfully authorize computer

    Cannot play purchased music:
    Prompted for id and password (Authorize Computer).
    Next prompt notifies me that the "Machine Authorization was Successful".
    Does nothing.
    Double click on song again - repeat Authorize Computer.

    Also having exactly the same problem.
    I've followed the same steps with the same results.
    Even check for the number of authorized computer : only one.
    Tried to remove authorization and give it again : no change.
    Still unable to listen to the tracks bought on the iTunes Store. It was possible the day I bought them and they have been transferred to the iPod through iTunes.
    I have listened to those tracks on my iPod for a few days.
    But when reconnecting today (first time since the date of purchase), I cannot listen to those purchased tracks anymore and they seem to have been removed from my iPod by iTunes !!!
    This was my first purchase on iTunes Store and it's a very bad experience. Unable to listen to music I've bought !
    Could someone give us all an issue, please ?!

  • New laptop unable to play purchased music

    I have recently upgraded my laptop to a macbook and have transferred all my files etc across.
    When I came to sync my ipod it said it was unable to sync my purchased music as this computer is not authorised to play it. How to I change my settings to allow my previously purchased music on my new laptop?

    Have you authorised the new MacBook yet and do the songs play in iTunes? If you have got it authorised and it's not transferring songs then try deauthorising it and then authorise it over again: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • Unable to play purchased music on my iPod through my PC at work

    I purchased music using my PC at home. While at work, I prefer to connect my iPod to my PC and play through the PC. However, I just noticed that my PC wants me to purchase or reauthorize the music I have already purchased at home to play on my iPod through my PC. I don't want to do this as I will use up one of my transfers. I think this might be a bug. Any ideas?

    But they're still playing "through" iTunes... and iTunes needs to be able to read the protected tracks. It won't be able to do that unless it's authorized to do so.
    Why not just authorize it? It's not that big a deal...

  • IPod unable to play purchased music

    Purchased itunes songs do not play on iPod unless iPod uses iTunes v.6.0. Purchased itunes songs transfer fine but when selected to play on iPod,
    drive spins and shuffles to another song. Imported CD music transfers and plays back fine. Any help? Thanks.

  • Unable to load/play purchased music in iTunes

    I upgraded to iTunes 7, everything is working great. Today I purchased some songs. They successfully downloaded, and I was able to upload them onto my iPod, where they play just fine. Unfortunately iTunes will NOT play them. The summary tab of "get info" does not contain any of the itunes specific information (purchased by, fairplay version, purchase date, account name, etc...)
    I have deauthorized and reauthorized the computer, did not help. When I try to add the file to the iTunes library it fails without giving an error.
    Any help would be greatly appriecated!

    I'm having this same issue - unable to play any music that I have downloaded from ITMS. I'm asked to authorize my computer, which I do.. I'm told that my computer has been successfully authorized. But when I try to play any song, I'm asked again to authorize my computer - and the cycle starts all over again.
    I have yet to see a post with any sort of attempt at resolving this issue, but I know a lot of people are having it. I emailed tech support, and (surprise, surprise) never heard back.

  • ITunes 7.5 won't let me play purchased music/TV shows

    I am running Leopard 10.5.1. When I try to play purchased music or television shows the window for Authorizing in to iTunes pops up. So I put my password in, but another window pops up that says "There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer. The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. So I try to authorize and deauthorize but there are errors.
    I tried to go to my account and deauthorize all of my accounts, but there is nothing there to let me do that.
    If someone can please help me with this I can stop pulling my hair out! Thanks

    I have have the same issue playing purchased music, i tried de authorizing my my account, but it said invalid username and password, which im sure is false. I ran a permissions repair and here are the results, but i didn't think anything in here would be relevant:

  • I Pod does not play purchased music.

    My i Pod will not play purchased music. It will scroll songs until it gets to one not purchased from i Tunes. What steps can be taken to resolve this situation?

    In iTunes go to the Store menu at the top and Deauthorize your computer. Now play one of the purchased songs on your computer and when prompted enter your Apple ID and password. Resync the songs to your iPod.

  • ITunes on Vista - crashing when I try to play purchased music

    Crashes when I try to play purchased music that I've copied from another machine.
    It has been authorized for two accounts, obviously ones that own the music, and playing songs brought from either account simply cause iTunes to crash, and it comes up with "iTunes has stopped working..."
    Brand new vista install, and brand new iTunes install.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem. Trouble is Vista is a new operating system that went to market filled with problems, the main one being nothing was ready to be compatable with it. Apple support recommened upgrading iTunes to the latest version sine Vista will not recognise older versions. I upgrade every time one is offered. It stopped my Dell from crashing everytime I tried to use the iPod. Try it, it may work.

  • Touch quits playing purchased music with beep

    Hello My new touch 32GB stops playing purchased music partway through the song beeps then goes to the next song. You cannot use the back arrow to go back to the previous song like the new song was the beginning of the play list. Sometimes the songs will play through but most of the time they skip through. It happens at random times for each song and different times everytime the same song is played. I have 3.1.2 OS i think. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Nano won't play purchased music from iTunes 6!

    Is there anyone else that is having problems playing purchased music from iTunes 6 on your iPod? My 4GB iPod nano is not playing (i.e. skipping over) songs that I have purchased AFTER I upgraded to iTunes 6. My iPod software is up-to-date and I tried resetting the iPod, but neither helped. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.
    -Ben Powell

    From what I've read, resetting your nano erases the music, etc. from your nano, putting the software back to its original state.
    This really has to s*ck, but if it works, its good that you can fix it that way. It does, however, make a great real life case for backing up your music.
    I've been using software (no I don't work for them) called e-backup for my email. I have receipts and other email from 2002! But, the point: it allows you to backup other folders/files. I included my music as an option yesterday because I remember losing term papers, etc. that I didn't backup to floppy or disk. Just in case!

  • HT5517 My AppleTv only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes.  I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's.  How do I play this?  Thanks

    My AppleTV only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes.  I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's that I am pulling my hair out to figure out how to play them.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  Thanks

    Your music library needs to be in iTunes on a Mac or PC. In iTunes enable Home Sharing and you should see your music library and playlists on the Apple TV. Both the computer and ATV have to be on the same WiFi network.
    See the following page on Home Sharing.

  • Transfering and playing PURCHASED music- plz help!

    I have recently made the switch to purchasing music, but the problem is that i am unable to play them on my IPOD NANO- the songs seem to transfer okay, but when i go to play them they skip and it goes to the next song....
    the only way i have been able to play these songs on my ipod is to burn my purchased playlist to a CD then rip it each time i buy a song....this is very cumbersome and time consuming
    is there anything i can do short of calling and yelling at apple lol....???

  • Cannot download purchased music and films from iTunes to my iPad 4

    I have recently bought an iPad 4 but am struggling to download music and films that I have purchased in iTunes. It gets to the processing stage and then a message pops up saying "unable to download at this time". I have retried the action but the same message keeps appearing. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
