Why does certain songs on icloud says purchased and others say waiting

why after making a playlist i have some songs that say purchased and others saying waiting?

Typically it means the file is corrupt. See the following:

  • Hey why does some songs seem to be louder then others?

    Hey why does some songs seem to be louder then others? This is mostly noticeable between downloaded vs Imported cds..  Or is it my imagination?

    It isn't your imagination, you'll find that older recordings have lower gain and will sound softer. You can use sound check to somewhat balance this out if you want.

  • Why does my Pixma MP 980 sometimes print and other times give me 5700 paper jam msg untrue?

    I'm having trouble with an erratic printer Pixma MP 980. Somtimes it prints (wireless connection) and other times it receives job but doesn't do it, saying there's a paper jam (error msg 5700 - turn off printer, get jammed paper out - there is no jammed paper - and if it doesn't work then, consult manual.)
    Manual has nothing about this in Troubleshooting that I can find. Why does the printer work sometimes, then not? It repeats even after I turn it on and off, but only after a successful printing. Then next job is error, but no paper jam to prove it.

    Hello marykennedy,
    Unfortunately, when the 5700 error repeatedly displays on the printer, the printer will require servicing to determine the exact cause of the issue.  Please click on the Contact Us link below to obtain servicing options.

  • Why does Macbook Pro rename my Time Machine and other external hard drives?

    Why does my Macbook Pro rename my Time Machine to "Time Machine I" and then back again periodically.  Last night it was one name, this morning it is another. It also does it on other external hard drives - usually by adding a I after the name. It is frustrating for me because I store a large runtime folder on an external hard drive and end up losing a lot of time with my computer not being able to find files because of the renaming.
    And even though it still looks like Time Machine under "Get info: - when I open a folder window or Disk Utility it has a new name, and there is no way to change it.  I've seen other questions that mention Macs renaming themselves, so it seems like a similar issue. I did try deleting the preferences plist file, but that did not work.
    Is this a glitch with this particular model or operating system?
    Specs: Macbook Pro A1297 - 2009 model.
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8GB ram
    Many thanks for any advice.

    strange, my external HDs were added to the exception list automatically. maybe because they wouldn't fit on the time machine volume.
    It seems to depend on when the drives were connected. When you first turn Time Machine on, it only excludes the TM drive itself, and any drives not formatted HFS+.
    If you connect a drive later on, that drive will be excluded automatically.

  • Why does TC sometimes display the airdisk icon and other times not

    I've been trying to figure out why the connection speed of the TC can be so inconsistent, but one thing I've noticed is that the icon on my desktop of the TC is also inconsistent. Sometimes its the Airdisk icon (ie airport waves) and other times the Shared disk icon (ie people holding hands).
    Anyone know what's up with that?

    Pinwheel usually comes it waiting for something, usually hard drives cause this but you don't have one, it's a SSD.
    If it occurs on another network, then you likely have a hardware problem of some sort.
    Take it in to Apple.

  • Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

    Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

    because you have loaded over 25,000 songs to the icloud library.  to find out exactly what is in icloud from itunes match follow these directions to create a blank itunes library and load only the itunes match songs from icloud.
    1. You will need to know the location of your iTunes library for later, the default is under music under your username.  If its not there find it and remember where it is for later.
    2. Then you have to exit iTunes and create a new empty library. To do this hold the option key when you open iTunes.  Choose create Library on the pop up dialogue. Create the library anywhere on your system, you can delete the entire library once you have completed your iCloud changes.
    3. When the library opens in iTunes it will be empty. Click on iTunes Match and click the start button.  after it finishes all of the songs on your iCloud match account will be listed under music.
    if you want to delete some or all songs from icloud so you can re-sync itunes match to show the songs in your current library fowwow this.
    4. you can select up to 1000 at a time and delete them.
    5. when you have deleted what you want, close iTunes and open again holding the option key and navigate to your original library, usually in the music folder under your username.  You should be all set and can click iTunes match again and your account will be populated with the ones in your current library.
    6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.

  • I bought an album but some songs say play while others say purchased. Why is that?

    I pre ordered an album about a month ago, but has now been released.  Some song say "play" while others say "purchased" the songs that say purchased will not show up on my iTunes library can anyone tell me why that is, or how i can get it to work?

    I cannot answer why this happened -- it depends on what you were doing when the download started.  Anyway, you can get all the songs downloaded as shown here.  (Click to expand.)

  • I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.  Help!

    I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized. 
    I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic.  What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod?  I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested.  It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content. 
    Help!

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Why are certain songs being transferred over to my laptop over and over again through Homesharing even though they are already in my new library?

    So I recently bought a new Windows laptop and tried using homesharing to transfer my songs from my computer, but I got really frustrated and confused. Certain songs keep being transferred through homesharing to my new library even though I already have a copy of the song in the library. I checked to see if I had the actual file in my media folder and it was there, so why do the songs keep being copied? And, if possible, can someone also explain how to transfer playlists? I know Apple said to export/import playlist but what does that mean?

    Yup, same issue.
    Playlist - Right-click on the playlist and select export, it will create a .txt file.
    On the other computer File/Library/Import Playlist, select the txt.file.
    Or, just select the Playlist in homeshare and select it and hit import.
    For some reason when you select "Items not in my library" it is does not show files correctly, if you purchased it in iTunes, they show correctly, or if you loaded them, they don't.

  • Why don't songs that I have purchased show under the "Purchased" section in the I-tunes Store? I have purchased a large quantity

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

    Hi,
    iChat uses several port as they are called over the internet to do different things
    Text Chats and Video Chats are on different Ports.
    You probably don't have the port open.
    Use UPnP in your router if it has it.

  • Why does "Sign in to iCloud" pop up every 2 seconds on my iPhone5 version 8.2 ?

    Why does "Sign in to iCloud" pop up every 2 seconds on my iPhone 5, version 8.2? It keeps asking for my Apple ID password. Is this legit?

    You can't access iCloud.com from a mobile browser. You can from a desktop or laptop computer whose browser identifies it as such.
    If you use a browser on your iPad or iPhone which allows changing the browser ID sent to websites, e.g., "Safari" rather than "Mobile Safari" you will be able to access iCloud.com. One such browser is iCab which is available in the App Store
