Upgraded to win7 from xp. Now some songs will not play without signing into an old Itunes id account.
Installed Windows 7 from XP. Downloaded itunes and imported the music library.
Now some songs will not play until I authorize this computer by signing in using an old apple id. Now when I do that the message says too many devices on that id.
Is there a way to convert those songs to my current Apple id? Or is there a way to download them again under the new id?
Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
If you desire the conent on your current Apple ID, purchase it with the current Apple ID.
For future reference, do not create a new Apple ID simply because of a change of email address. Instead, update the Apple ID with the new email address.

About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased.
I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
Does anyone know what is going on with this thing??? I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this!
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
Thanks.When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day! -
Some Songs Will Not Play Even After Being Authorized
Just this past weekend, I had to reinstall Tiger and then upgrade to Leopard due to a “kernel panic” that would not go away no matter what was tried. As such, iTunes was started from scratch. Unfortunately, I could not locate my iTunes library within the Previous System folder after this reinstall. In all honesty, I probably just didn’t know where to look.
So, I transferred my music from my iPod to my iMac. But, some of my songs will no longer play. The songs that will not play are songs that I purchased and downloaded from iTunes. However, the recent songs purchased and downloaded will play…it’s songs that were purchased and downloaded a few months ago. Strange.
When I click these songs a box pops up for me to authorize it. I do so and it says that this computer is already authorized. I click on the song again and the same thing repeats itself.
I have two accounts that I have used. I have both accounts authorized on this computer. I have restarted with no success. I have unauthorized and reauthorized with no success. I’m afraid to sync my iPod in case these same characteristics transfer to my iPod.
I have not updated Leopard to the latest version as of yet since I just reinstalled from the disc orginally sent with my iMac. Any help is greatly appreciated as I’m out of ideas…I had the exact same problem today. Two days ago I let Software Update auto-install Security Update 2008-008 (Client Intel) on my machine. I was rewarded with the gray screen and spinning wheel that never went away, and after hours of fruitless attempts to resolve the problem with Disk Utility and Terminal, I was forced to Archive and Restore to 10.4.8 and then rebuild my system back to 10.4.11.
I thought everything was fine after that until I went to play my iTunes music tonight. Though I'd had no problem playing music ripped from CDs, anything that I'd bought from the iTunes store wouldn't play -- it gave me the exact same error that you reported. I've followed all of Apple's troubleshooting steps -- repairing disk permissions, deleting the SC Info folder, etc., and nothing worked. I spent nearly an hour online with iTunes Chat Support and they say that my account tests fine on their end, so it's not iTunes -- something must have happened to my machine.
Personally, I think it was Security Update 2008-008. It's been nothing but trouble.
Now I have to pay $50 for a phone call to Apple Tech Support. Lucky me. -
My music is not playing, i have purchased onto my iPhone and now it will not play :-(
Hello Russell,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. The best way to get music back is to check out the articles that goes of downloading previous purchases.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If they were not purchased through iTunes, then just sync through iTunes again.
Regards,

What can I do without redownloading the songs, since I don't have access to the first computer right now?
Does it give a reason for why they won't play, or is that a secret?
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -
some song will not play now on my 4s. it was since i updated software i think, cos it worked fine before that. it just skips songs. please talk me through step by step. i am going crazy. thanx guy's and gals of course
My situation is improving a little. When I returned home I found that my imac went to sleep during the match process (I would think that the process would keep the imac awake, but I recommend people with large libraries disable energy saving features while Match is working). When it completed the process the second time I tried, a LOT of the greyed out tracks returned to my iOS devices. The only ones missing right now are the ones pending upload to the cloud. I have a few tracks that I've purchased and are on my iMac HDD that are greyed out, but that list is down to 10-15 out of 12,000... so I can work on those when Match is done.
I'm surprised that the iOS devices would restrict you from accessing sync'd content while Match is running - i.e. the content is already on the device. However, it's error handling that must not currently exist in the service.
My biggest take away right now is the lack of information Apple provided on this service. I'm using third-party tutorials online instead of a simple "what is Match and how does it work" document from Apple... Documentation is still a must, especially for new and potentially complicated services like this. I.E. tell me that you are going to restrict my access to my own content during this process, and that this process may take 2-3 days (still uploading). -
Can anyone help me to delete the faintly listed songs on my iPad which I have transferred from my Pc but they will not play on my iPad.
Thanks for trying to help me.
First, in you reply (and i've read this elsewhere), you imply that i need to check a box that says "manually manage music." OK, great, but where do i find such box? Is that on the iphone or in itunes? Also, i am afraid of losing what i already do have on my phone. I have about 150 songs, some of which were purchesed thru itunes, but most of which i "dropped and dragged" from my older computer with the older version of itunes. When i go to itunes with my iphone plugged in, all of the boxes are grayed out, except one at the top that says "Sync Music". When i check this box, i get an error warning that says "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to [name of my iPhone] from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library."
So, i have over 3000+ songs in my itunes library on my computer... obviously that isn't going to fit on my phone. So then, what is going to happen? I'll lose everything that is already on my phone PLUS it will NOT be able to sync?
Is now the time to buy a Zune?!? For the company that is supposedly "user friendly", Apple has really managed to screw this one up.
Thanks, John -
Upgraded to iTunes 6.0 now songs will not play
I upgraded to iTunes 6.0, now when I go to play a song the run time shows up as a negative number and the song will not play. I reinstalled the software several times and reauthorized the computer. Does anyone have a solutions to this problem?
Thanks for your help
Dell Dimension Windows XPI should add that every time I remove the iPod from my computer to try and see if any of the songs are back it asks me for a language just like the first time you start it up. Kinda like it forgets everytime I plug it into the computer.

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Kristen.you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

Some iTunes purchased songs will not play on iPhone.
Some of my songs that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on my iPhone but will play on my MacBook Pro and iPad - what can I do to fix this. This problem has been happening for around a week now. At first it was 1-2 songs but now in a playlist of around 80 songs approximately 1/4 of the songs will not play. When the song comes up next in the playlist it will not only skip that song but will also skip past 1-2 other songs.
Hey brewmaster1967,
Does this happen with any other purchased content? Download some of the free on iTunes store songs.
Deauthorize the computer and play/authorize the song in iTunes again.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93014
Try re-creating the iTunes Library.

My songs that I purchased on my itunes account from my dad's computer will not play on my new computer, I have access to my entire account but can only play songs purchased using my new computer. Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi Kevin,
Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
If not, sign on to iTunes.
Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
Cheers,

Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?
The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

I downloaded an album from i tunes, but it will not play back correctly,
it starts a track and then stops randomly and jumps to the next track
and then does the same thing ad ainfinitum! What to do??Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them 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 they re-download in the same 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 album and use the 'Report a Problem' link. -
