Using purchased iTunes in iDVD

I have just purchased some iTunes for my Mac and followed the procedure to authorize them for this computer, many times actually. When trying to use them in iMovie, I keep getting the message that they aren't authorized for use on this computer. I searched the forum and found advice to play the iTunes first, but that didn't work. I've consulted Help for both programs. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Can't use purchased iTunes music

I can't use some purchased iTunes music.
We moved and I have a new computer (iMac).
When we moved I had to drop my charter account - which I used as my itunes account. Now I use my gmail as my iTunes account but can't play 1 downloaded album (James Taylor Christmas).
It tells me this computer is not authorized to play but when i put my info in it tells me this computer is already authorized.
Can someone help?

Can't hear some purchased iTunes in iDVD slideshows

When in edit mode in iDVD and I choose "Audio" to select media source, most (not all) of my purchased iTunes appear with a little lock on the iTune icon. If I add any of these to the slideshow, as soon as I attempt to view the slideshow, the message, "This computer is not authorized to play this song" appears. I follow thru by entering the password, and I receive a message that the computer is now authorized, but the song still won't play in iDVD. I've "Quit" iDVD, iTunes, and rebooted the computer several times. Oddly, this has been a sporadic problem the last several nights, but tonight it's impossible. I have no problems playing any of these songs directly in iTunes.

Help - I am having the same issue and need to burn a DVD before a wedding this weekend. I have copied my purchased music to a CD, deleted the originals from iTunes, imported them back from the CD. The little lock icon was gone from the iTunes icon so I thought all was fixed but the same issue happened when I tried to burn. I also deauthorized my computer and reauthorized it, checked for all updates and tried to share with my iPod (same issue there too). Any other fixes? What about upgrading to iLife '08? Has that solved the issue for others? I am desperate here.

Using purchased iTunes music

I am trying to put an iTunes song (that was purchased) onto my soundtrack. I have done it before, but now it is saying that I do not have permission to use that song, and I need to open iTunes to authorize my computer to play the song. I have done so, but even after i have authorized my computer (again) nothing is happening. Any help to my dilema?

i didnt come up with any kind of fix, but i did come up with a sort of work around (though it has the potential to be tedious).
so let me share what i know...
tonight i was assembling a slideshow with music in imovie. i used only 1 song, but i cut it into exactly 10 pieces. after i saved and tried to play back the entire movie, it was asking me to authorize the music, even though the computer had already been authorized. so i authorized it and it popped up again, and i authorized again...
when it kept poping up, i just kept hitting cancel from then on and it went away. i closed the program and then opened it again and the music played fine; that is, until i saved it again and ran into the same problem.
i managed to get my project done after having closed and opened the program a number of times because of this problem. then i went to idvd...
i assembled the dvd with the slideshow attached and when i went to burn, just as it was ready to encode audio, it was asking me to authorize again!!! so i just cancelled and decided to try something else. i tried dong a bunch of stuff, both in idvd and imovie when i realized that the number of times it asked me to authorize my song (determined by the number of times i had to click cancel) was equal to the number of times the song occurs (in clips) in my project: 10.
so i hypothesized that if i burned the dvd and it asked me to authorize, i would put in my name and pasword to authorize it those 10 times and it should be clear. sure enough, it asked me to authorize and after authorizing 10 times, it worked!
it continued to burn after that and as we speak i am making additional copies. just note that after it finished authorizing i got the "swirly rainbow" indicator that told me the program was busy for a min or 2. but after i waited it out, it resumed burning. (turns out it was just encoding the audio, though it appeared the program had stalled).
i can see that it could be a huge effort to do this if you have a lot of songs that are messed up in this way. you would have to type the password for as many times as you used the disfunctional song in your project, however long the clip of it.
hope this helps. its a pain, but i hope they fixed the bug in the new version because im planning to upgrade soon.

Using Purchased iTunes Music on my Creative MP3 player?

I purchased music from iTunes, but there is one problem, I can't play it on my Creative Zen Vision MP3 player. I went to iTunes because they seem to have the best selection, but if I can't play it on anything that an iPod, then what's the point? Can anybody help me so I can play it on my music device? I saw the info in the knowledge base about converting music to mp3 from AAC, but you can't do that with purchased music. I even burned a CD with the music, and it won't play on my car stereo?? Help!!!

Yes, you are right.

You must burn a CD-Audio to play it in your home/car stereo.
If you also want to play those songs on your Creative player, once you've done the CD-Audio you can rip it again in MP3.

Using purchased iTunes music for videos.

Probably not posting this in the right place... but I don't have the time to look throughout this vast library of information...
Simple Question....
When trying to create videos from my video camera, is it possible to import music from iTunes into the video? If so, could you tell me where I can learn how to do it?
Thanks in advance, and thanks for your patience in advance.

Doubtful, Protected tracks from the iTunes store cannot be played outside of iTunes and we cannot discuss any methods to convert them. You can burn protected tracks to a Normal audio CD but thats as far as we can go.

Can't use itunes purchased songs in iDVD

I'm trying to use a song I purchased on itunes as music for the menu of an iDVD project I'm working on, but all I get is the following message: This computer is not authorized to play "01 Americal Girl.m4p".
I was able to do this just fine until yesterday when I had to update itunes for my new ipod nano. Now I can't use ANY itunes purchased songs in iDVD or imovie.
Please help me solve this!!

HT1918 I'm unable to make iTune purchases from my phone using my iTune gift card

I'm unable to make iTune purchases from my phone using my iTune gift card, the gift card information is entered on the phone and I can see the credit amount.

I am having the same problem and it is REALLY frustrating.
Exact setup that you have, COMCAST, PayPal, etc....
I have reviewed my account three times with my PayPal info and received confirmation from my PayPal Account but it still won't let me log in. Let me know if you hear anything.
This is a REAL PAIN.

HT201209 How do i use the Itunes credit to purchase a movie?

My daughter got a gift card for her birthday with 15.00 on it. I have entered it into the redemtion area and see the credit on the account. How do I purchase a movie for her with this credit? I go to purchase the movie and it keeps trying to bill my account.
Thanks.

Hi there, wasted a full bank holiday day off trying to suss out this problem and got it eventually, well not a full day, but I was very frustrated at the end of it all. So here it goes.....Sign In to iTunes Store, click 'account', then click 'edit' for 'Billing Information'. You already have your credit card details entered, so click 'none' in choice of 'Payment Method' and all your Payment Card details will be erased, click 'done' on the bottom right hand corner of window. Now you will return to your Account Information page and 'no credit card on file' can be seen where originally you could see the last 4 digits of your credit card. Click on 'home' or 'films' and continue with a purchase using the 'iTunes Gift Card' credit on your account.

Just to confirm, you are logged into the iTunes Store using the account in which the balance exists, and the balance is showing at the top of the iTunes Store window? And you're not trying to purchase gifts for someone else?

How can I do this? I saw something about gift cards can only be used for music or movies, not apps.

You can use an iTunes gift card for app, music, movies and other media.To redeem one see:
