Why does my iTunes say I am not authorized to play a song, but when I got through the authorization process, it says the song is authorized?

I purchased a song on my iPhone and synced my iPhone to my MAC iTunes.  The song used to play on my iPhone.  Now it won't.  I have tried taking it off and putting it back on, but that has not worked.  I tried reauthorizing, but the computer tells me it is already authorized.  I have a few songs in my library by this name, but by different bands.  Could this be the problem?  How do I fix it?

Hi,
Try deleting track from your computer then redownload from iTunes Store>purchased.

    If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

  • Why does my 7.0 iDVD theme not have sound playing in the menu?

    Why does my 7.0 iDVD theme not have sound playing in the menu?  When I click to get menu info, the "TravelAudio" audio is listed, but it won't play.  The volume is not the issue, it just isn't there. 

    Hi
    First of all - I would try to trash the iDVD pref file (or rather start a new User-account and log into this and re-try).

  • My PC Windows 7 harddrive crashed.  I have a new harddrive.  But i lost all my CD's that i had burned onto iTunes.  They are all still on my iPhone 4s, but when i sync, only the purchased songs will import.  Is there anyway to retrieve them

    My PC Windows 7 hard drive crashed.  I have a new hard drive.  But i lost all my CD's that i had burned onto iTunes.  They are all still on my iPhone 4s, but when i sync, only the purchased songs will import.  Is there anyway to retrieve them?  Thanks!

    Restore your library from your most recent backup (you do keep regular backups, I hope).  If the hard drive is in any way salvageable it may be possible to mount it in an external enclosure, connect it to your PC, and retrieve data from it even if it is not functioning as a primary OS drive (if you don't have the kit necessary to do this, your local PC repair shop may be able to help).  Failing that, you can always recreate your library by re-importing your CDs.

  • When you purchase a song from a different album,why does't iTunes tell you ?that you already have that song?

    When you purchase a song by a particular artist, why does;t iTunes prompt you about duplcates?

    As noted above iTunes Plus songs can be recognised by a plus sign beside them. If I recall the early launch information the iTunes Plus songs are predominantly EMI releases but other labels may also have iTunes Plus content available now: iTunes Plus FAQ

  • Why does my itunes say software is up to date for my iphone when it is version 4.2.1??

    my tunes does not show the most recent updates for my iphobe?? I have the lates itunes 10.5 downloaded, what am i not doing?? Apparently there are several updates and i didn't know about it because my itunes doesnt alert me...how do u fix this???? yes, i am not that tech-savvy...thanks for ur help

    The software for your phone and iTunes are two different sets of code. They work together to be sure but if your iPhone is up-to-date at 4.2.1 then it is a 3G model and cannot be updated to iOS5, because it is not supported for iCloud. Your iTunes on the other hand can certainly be version 10.5 on Snow Leopard, but that will still not get you iOS5 for your IPhone. It is sometimes difficult to keep all the numeric designations straight especially when so many of the numerals mirror one another. Your computer uses OSX 10.6.8 = Snow Leopard; you say that your iTunes version is 10.5; your iPhone uses iOS4.2.1.

  • Why does my itunes keep closing after i try to play a tv show?

    Recently I updated my iTunes, and since then the program will become sometimey (excuse the word) with launching at all, and when iTunes does decide to open, it will immediately say it cannot connect to the iTunes store.  At this point I will close iTunes and reopen it and things will be ok in that aspect, but when I go to play a video or a tv show it always says this program is not working and will have to be closed...or something similar to that warning.  I have no choice but to close the program.
    I have unintalled iTunes and reinstalled, and still I get the same problem.  I've even tried to run a repair.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Why does my itunes turn on by itself and start playing music without me clicking on itunes or without hitting play on the keyboard?

    My itunes will automatically start playing music when im on the computer away from the computer or across the house.  I am not accidently hitting play on the keyboard or anything.  I even quit itunes to close it completly down and still will open back up and start playing music on its own.  i need some help on resolving this issue as it is annoying me to death! lol

    Open Finder> click Go> hold Option and you'll see Library, then browse to the iTunes and iTunes Plug-ins folders.
    To get to the other folder click Go > Computer > Macintosh HD > then browse to the iTunes and iTunes Plug-ins folders.
    Close iTunes and try moving add-ons not manufactured by Apple temporarily to the Desktop to troubleshoot the behavior. iTunes stores these plug-ins and scripts in the following locations:
    Mac:
    /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/

  • In ical why does my wife get an email everytime I update our home calendar but when she makes changes I don't?

    I have shared a calendar with my wife aptely called "Home" to which every time I update or rearrange something she gets an email, I understand that this is quite useful for informing her of any changes but when she makes changes I receive no notifications/email. The problem I/she has is that when updating especially on the mac I change alot of things very quickly and she ends up with a flooded inbox informing her of small changes such as I've changed the time by half an hour or maybe a spelling has changed, does anybody out there know how to turn off the emails, we both regulary check the notifications bar on our ios devices and can see whats planned for the day etc so why burden the servers in the sky sending one way emails?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated guys

    OK, I don't have the exact same problem, but here are a few things you could try.
    1. Go to www.icloud.com and login. Select your calendar from the icons and you will then see the cogwheel in the top right corner. Click on it and enter your settings. Under ADVANCED, there is a tick box saying "Send me a copy of event invitations and updates"
    2. On the shared calendar on the left hand side of the calendar you are in, it should show a list of your calendars. The shared ones are green whilst the others are just white/transparent - Click on the green one of the calendar that is being shared (The clarify, this needs to be done within your wifes icloud, not yours and she needs to click your "Home" calendar green bit). This opens up the Tick box "Email me when this calendar changes" - deselect this.
    Good luck.
    For what its worth, here is my problem. I keep getting invitations for all my girlfriends new appointments. They are coming up in the same invitations box that you get notified in when someone invites you to a lunch where you select reject, accept etc. But these just have an OK select button. I can't seem to find anything that rectifys this, and it has only happened since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, but my girlfriend has not.
    There is nothing on the web to describe this problem so far and I have gone through every setting trying to rectify it. If anyone can help on this one, that'd be great.
