Why can't I play my songs on the computer?

When I try playing music on my computer, I get a message saying "Some of the required files are missing. Do you want to search for them? I click yes and a list of several libraries open. None of them work.I am running itunes 8. What can I do?

The fromat of the sonf might be wrong for your iPod. Either update you iPod's software or try changing the format of the song: Go to the location of the song in your computer(Explorer folder) . Click "view", "choose details", and tick the "type" box. Rename the songs that don't work only changing the letters after the ".". Change it to mp3.

Why can't I get my songs from the computer in our media player library, (ripped from a c.d., ) to sync to the iPod?

Why can't I transfer my music on my computer, media player library, onto the iPod touch? it won't let me sync the songs.??

One thing to consider is this ...what are the files formatted in ? If you ripped your CD's via Windows Media Player default settings , they're in 128k Windows Media Audio files . These files must be converted by iTunes before being allowed into the library .

Why can't I import all songs? The computer is authorized but the error message says that it isn't to play some songs...HELP!

I have turned on Home Sharing and Imported most of the orginal library but certain songs won't import. The Itunes tell me that the computer isn't authorized but when I log in it says that it is already authorized. This is very frustrating, please help.

You need to select what you want to import first.

Why can't I see my videos on the computer?

I connect the iPod and I can play all songs on my computer, I can also hear the sound of the video but I can't see it I just see some green colore blinking on the screen... I have iTunes 7... can some one help please?

Andy,
You will need to do roughly the following :
Install CAM on a host of your choice to manage the array.
Assign an IP address to the array using the serial management interface (or DHCP)
Register the Array's IP address with CAM.
Connect the Hosts fibre card(s) to the array host ports
Install the HBA drivers on the server you want to connect.
In CAM you will need to create initiators for the HBA ports. (Do you have a domain license or are you going to use the global domain?)
Create a host in CAM for the initiators.
Create a Virtual Disk
Create a Volume on the Virtual Disk
Map the volume to the host you defined before
You will also need multipathing software installed if you have more than one fibre connection from the host.
Take a look here on docs.sun.com for more info on CAM. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-1425-10

Why Can't I play some songs ??

I can't understand why some songs are available to play and some are not!? Even songs from the same album?
I've uploaded 100s of. songs from my MacBook, some are ripped from CDs and the rest from iTunes.
Please explain I don't understand why this is so.

If the initial scan in iTunes has not finished yet then you can see this behavior on an iOS device. The simplest trouble shooting step is to disable iTM on the iOS device and open the Music app and let the content clear out. Wait for the scan to complete in iTunes then re-enable the service on the iOS device.

Why can't I play some songs in my library?

My Itunes library has about a thousand and 200 songs... But there are 400 songs that i can't play or even I can't put them on my Ipod because they have in their left side a tick : I Tunes ask me to find them in a paste but i can't find them.. How can i stay with these musics and make them playable!? PLEASE HELP ME AND DON'T DECLARE THAT I WILL HAVE TO LOOSE ALL THESE 400 SONGS!!!

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed
Do did you change anything or do you have any other software that can rename or move files?
You can try using Windows search to look for some of the files so see if you can find them. Also look in the recycle bin.
If you have not synced you iPod since the problem started and you have the tracks on the iPod there is software that will allow you to copy the files from the iPod to the PC.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9990366#9990366
Otherwise you need to recover your files from backup if you made a back up.
If none of these work you will have to re-rip the tracks if you have them on CD.

Why can I not play certain songs which I have just downloaded?

I recently download 10 new songs and only 3 of them work and play out load whereas the other 7 do not .If you tap them they only skip to the ones working.my new songs also do not appear on my laptop (not an apple product). Some of the non working songs have faded out the song title and artist.

Hi, drhalm.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like your music is not stored locally on the device and accessing your purchases in the cloud. There is a new feature in iOS 7 that shows all purchased music and requires and Internet connect to play this content. You can download any missing media via the steps in the first article below. If the media is located in your iTunes music library, you can sync the media from your Mac to your iPhone. If unfamiliar with the process, I have included the steps in the second article below.

Why can i not play a song from icloud?

I uploaded a song (not a commercial song - one a friend had performed) to itunes last year, and it worked well. I uploaded it to icloud and then bought a macbook pro. I did not transfer the itunes files from my old computer to my new computer. I just went to play the song (actually, the album) and while it appears in icloud on my iphone and my itunes library on my macbook, I cannot download it. It's not grey - it just won't download or play. Any ideas what to do? Had my song been lost in the icloud?

Why won't iTunes play some songs from the cloud

I am traveling with my MacBook Pro and opened my iTunes library. I have iTunes Match also. Some of my albums have the cloud with the down-pointing arrow...but they won't play and when you click on it, nothing happens. What am I missing?

I will try that on my Macbook Pro when I get home, if I can figure out how to do it (some more detailed instructions would help. . .). The problem I'm having is songs I ripped from CDs into my iTunes library. The songs and CDs are all available for purchase on iTunes, so I'm not talking about some obscure music. iTunes recognizes them. Some of the songs from a given CD play; others do not. In two cases, entire albums won't play. were originally ripped from CDs into my iTunes library on an HP computer running Windows 7 (my Macbook doesn't have a CD drive). All of the songs appear and play fine there. However, the "grayed out" iCloud icon problem exists (and I can't play those songs) on my Macbook, my iPhone 5S or on my PC at work - which leads me to believe it's an iCloud or iTunes problem. . .

Why can't i play a song

hi, i preorded a album so it comes with one song that you are able to play but when i try to play it it pop up a window saying that is not authorired and to log in, i log in and i still cant play the song!

If only one track on an album is giving you that message, that suggests that the track is damaged.
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.

Why can't I play some songs when i dont have internet?

This is probably a dumb question, and I probably didnt understand it in the first place, but it seems that my songs are held hostage to internet connection. Most of the time i am somewhere that has interenet, but i also DJ sometimes and i cant get to some of my songs...PLEASE help.

Tunes that aren't aready on your iOS device can be downloaded uses iTunes match by either the internet or 3G. If the tunes aren't on your iOS device to begin with, the only way to get them from iTunes match is by downloading them or making sure they are on before you go somewhere where you have no connection.

Why can't I play my song on my iphone

I bought a song over my Mac from iTunes. I would like to transfer this to my iPhone 4 but nothing happens. Has
This something to do with iCloud or how many devices I have registered. Thanks in advance.

If you don't have automatic downloads enabled, you need to sync the song to your iPhone.

Why can't I download purchased songs on new computer?

Okay so I'm having a slight issue. I just got a new MacBook Pro and I'm having issues. I am attempting to download my purchased songs. I am in iTunes and when I attempt to download it prompts me to enter my password. Upon doing this it starts to download then gives me an error message followed by prompting me once again to enter my password. I know this is not a wrong password for sure haha I've double and triple checked. I have tried restarting iTunes my computer an other restart based fixes. Just really unsure what is happening.

Why can I not buy German songs in the US ? It is called World Wide Web , right ?

I am trying to buy German music in the iTunes store, but it will not let me. Need a German credit card, which seems ridiculous to me since I can buy almost anything else online. I live in the US, and have address in Germany.

Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple to sell on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to use its store - rights-holders want control over where their content is available.
You can try requesting that the music be added to the US store, but unless the rights-holders agree to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?
