  • I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account.  how do I fix this?

    I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account.  It says that i have to authorize my macbook and sign into iTunes, but then says its already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    Hi stuartbonk,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Here are some steps you can try if you keep getting asked to authorize your MacBook for iTunes:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203160
    If you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize, try these suggestions.
    Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
    To authorize your purchases from an administrator account, follow these steps:
    Log in to the administrator account.
    Note: If you don't have access to an administrator password, you'll need to contact the administrator of this computer. If this is a work computer, this may be your IT department.
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download the latest version free.
    Choose Store > Authorize Computer.
    Enter your iTunes account name and password.
    Note: If you have multiple accounts, you'll need to log in to the iTunes Store and authorize each account separately.
    Quit iTunes.
    After you've authorized your computer on your administrator account, you'll need to log out and log back in to the user account you'd like to play your purchases from. Once you're logged back in, simply open iTunes, select an iTunes Store purchase in your library, and click Play. The item should begin to play.Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.Remove the SC Info folderIf you're still unable to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may be able to resolve your issue by removing the "SC Info" folder. To do so, follow these steps:
    OS X
    Quit iTunes and any other open applications until only Finder is open.
    Choose Go > Go to Folder.
    Type /Users/Shared/SC Info and click Go.
    If Finder is not already set to column view, set it by choosing View > as Columns.
    Select the SC Info folder and move it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
    Restart the computer and open iTunes.
    Authorize your computer to play your purchases. Note: If you have multiple accounts you'll need to authorize your computer for each account. For more information on how to authorize your computer, see this article.

  • 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.

  • Why don't I see an option for lightroom?

    Why don't I see an option for lightroom? I have downloaded creative cloud and have photoshop option, but I don't see LR, which I expected to install.

    Hi Peggyh,
    If you're a paying Creative Cloud member, you may not see Lightroom in the Creative Cloud if your computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. Check to make sure that your system meets the http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/system-requirements-lightroom.html

    I have a season pass to MadMen 5 and have 3 episodes so far. Why don't I have the 7 in itunes?

    if you can generate a production order then you can always confirm it according to SAP PP logic.
    we use variant configuration for the manufacturing of complex products. once the component quantities and
    operation are selected for a particular variant and copied to Production order, the rest of the process is same
    as normal Production Control. Revert back with any queries you have.

  • HT1918 Why is my debit card being charged for iTune purchases when my account is set up with my Amex card

    Why is my debit card being charged for iTunes purchases when my iTunes account is set up with my Amex card?

    Login to the account on iTunes and under payment info, select none for the credit card. iTunes is supposed to use gift cards and store credit over credit cards but it doesn't.

  • Why don't all iPhoto albums appear in iTunes so I can download them to ipad

    Why don't my iPhoto albums appear in iTunes not all of them and not complete so I can download them to iPad or iPhone.  Only some of them transfer over to iTunes.

    After a good hour, finally sorted it out thanks to this
    Q: When I first had iTunes move my ebooks to the new iBooks app in Mavericks, many of my books didn’t get transferred. How can I get these books back? Are they lost forever?
    There was a bug in the first version of the iBooks app that prevented it from moving all the books in the iTunes library to the new app. In my library, only two books didn’t get moved, but I’ve heard from people who lost dozens or even hundreds of books.
    These books should still be on your computer. If you haven’t done so, open the App Store app, click Updates, and download the iBooks 1.0.1 update. Launch iBooks, then choose File > Move Books from iTunes. This should move the remaining books to iBooks.

  • Why do random songs play their intro twice??

    Hi I'm sorry if this is an issue that has a thread already but I can't find any answers and it's driving me nuts.
    I have recently noticed that random songs in my library have a double intro and I can't understand what's happening.
    Basically a song plays for up to 20 seconds, goes quiet for a second, then the song starts again from the beginning at 22 seconds into the track and plays to the end of the song.
    When I catch them I can alter the Start time in Options to cut out the additional intro but I want to know if I can stop it happening in the first place as it seems to happen with tracks that have been ripped from CDs.
    I have checked the songs on the CDs and they're okay and I'm using 10.4.0.80 and Vista Home Premium........is this happening to anyone else??
    Thanks in advance

    Okay I have confirmed the problem is related somehow to purchase backup / ripped discs as I've had to use my backups in the past and it is these tracks which are affected. In some cases it's one or two tracks but for some it's every song on the disc and the discs play normally in a regular player so I don't know what I've done wrong when adding them to itunes??
    Is this just me or has anyone else had the problem?
    Thanks again

  • Why don't songs appear on iPod?

    I click and drag songs from itunes window into iPod window on my Mac. Then when I'm done and disconnect, they do NOT appear on the iPod, it's blank. Any ideas? I am running iTunes 7, Mac 10.3.9, with a brand new iPod, purchased Oct 11, 2006.
    Heeeeeeeelp! LOL

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Dragging songs only works if you have selected to manually manage songs and videos? Have you?
    Connect the iPod to the computer. When the iPod appears in iTunes, select it under Source (on the left) and click the summary tab. Make sure manually manage songs and videos is checked. Click Apply. Do not go and change any settings in the other tabs (for what is synced to the iPod), because doing so will enable automatic updating again.
    When you drag the songs to the iPod, is iTunes showing that it is adding them (not just Updating iPod, but does it actually show the song names or 1 out of 10, for example)?
    Are you adding all types of songs (from CDs), videos, purchased content, or what?

  • Why don't songs from CDs upload?

    The promise of iTunes Match is that your music gets stored on the iCloud. Sounds OK. You pay about $25 a year, which, again seems OK. However, something seems very wrong with the service. When you subscribe, Apple looks at all your music. If a song is currently available in the iTunes Store, it pulls the song from there to put it in your iCloud storage. Again, OK w/ me. If a song is not located in the Store, they claim that they upload the song from your iTunes library and put it in the cloud. The songs that are not in the store are generally ones in your collection that came from your personal CDs which you loaded into iTunes. So, I went through the whole process. All the matched songs moved from the Store to my Cloud. However, virtually every song that didn't match became disabled - unplayable. Next to each of those songs is a cloud icon with an "!" inside and the scroll-over text reads something like "upload error." I even tried putting the CDs into my machine and uploading them to my iTunes library again. Not one of them was "accepted" into the elite world of the iCloud and while each song is listed in my iTunes Library, it is unplayable. I am doing this with a Windows PC and also accessing these songs on two separate iPads. The "bad" songs are listed on each device, but won't play from any. Can anyone help?

    This is incorrect. iTunes Match does not use any of your iCloud account storage.

  • Did a software update (the latest for iMac) for iTunes and now iTunes will not open

    iTunes will not open after the update completed. I tried to downgrade back to the previous for iTunes but I cannot access my downloads....I seriously need help from someone.....HELP

    The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.

  • IPad is not making any sounds except for itunes, Pandora and Netflix. Need help.

    From one day to another the iPad is not making any sounds (lock, keyboard, games) except for music on iTunes, Pandora and video on Netflix. All sounds are activated on the iPad's general settings. I have synced it and updated the OS to no avail. Any help or suggestions is gratly appreciated.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • HELP! why doesnt MuVo tx play (a paid for) WMA song I download from naps

    gave MuVo tx to eldest for christmas. He has joined napster and paid for two singles and downloaded them in WMA format to the hard dri've.
    I can play these on the desktop machine using windows media player ok.
    I copy these tracks to the muvo, and it wont play them. you can scroll to it but if you try and play it just moves straight onto the next track.
    I have copied an ordinary wma from a ripped cd and that works okay so I think it must be software protection
    however the muvo says it plays DRM protected songs.
    whats going on how can i get my lad up and running.
    Christmas (lack lustre) cheers

    No we downloaded the songs using napster lite (that my son has downloaded)
    there didnt appear to be an easy option to use creative media source to download them.
    Do i have to go back to Napster and find out what they are doing?
    I downloaded IMToos 'WMA to mp3 convertor' but this then asks for the user name and password (presumably of the song) and cant process the file as I dont have these, and its not clear from napster lite how i might get them.
    Why can I play the songs onthe PC but not on the muvo when I use Createi've media source to write the files to the muvo?
