Why when i try to play four songs i have downloaded i keep getting the notice that i have to authorize my computer though it is already authorized?

when ever i try to select one of four songs by the backstreet boys i am asked to authorize my computer by putting in my ID and password which i do but the songs won't play even though my computer is already authorized to play itunes songs. i don't have trouble with any other songs except four out of 12 songs on the album i downloaded. all the rest play without any trouble but not All I have to Give,I'll never break your heart,Set adrift on memory bliss, and Anywhere for you. these songs keep asking for my to authorize my computer to play these songs but as i said my computer is already authorized. please do something about this continues problem.

Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" How can I get my songs to play?

Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed. When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song. When I select this option I get nothing. The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to. I can't the songs to play however. This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them. Actually, one song is too many. How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

Just playing songs I have downloaded to my iphone

So I just want to play just those songs I have downloaded to my iphone from my matched library. How do I know what has been downloaded to my iphone? Is there a folder denoting this info and allowing me to shuffle and play those songs only?

I have that setting off but my music still plays from the cloud. Annoying when I have Christmas music on there! Or music from a memorial service..what a party pleaser! Help is appreciated!!

I have a iTunes account and recently 2 of the song I have downloaded will not play, it says that it not authorised to play. How ever on the same day the other songs I downloaded that day are playing fine

Hello Jigz19,
It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:
Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
Open iTunes
Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
Choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab.
The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
If so, then delete the songs:

HELP! AAC protected files wont play on my computer or download to new nano

About 100 of my songs are listed in iTunes as AAC 'protected' and each time I try to play them iTunes instructs me to 'authorize this computer'. I have done that and when I finish iTunes tells me that 'this computer is already authorized' but it still wont play my songs or let me download to my new iPod. This is the same computer I have always used. What do I do?

There have been many problems reported of M4P files not playing correctly in 9.1. Hang in there until a fix comes.
Unfortunately M4Ps cannot be played in any player besides iTunes. You might want to think about an iTunes Plus upgrade.

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens? The iPod does nothing? It skips to the next song?
It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem. The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
NOTE: There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues. It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

HT204406 some of the songs i have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds? Has anyone else had this problem?

Some of the songs I have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds when i play them? Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to fix it.
Thanks

I've had this happen several times... I suspect the download was interrupted for some unreported reason so it only has a partial file or has a corrupt byte in the file it failed to catch.
Just delete the local copy and re-download from the cloud and they play fine.

Ipod wont register what songs i have listened to?

i've had an ipod nano for a few years now and it work fine up until a few months ago when it froze on me. i was able to reset it and it still works but i have recently noticed that when i connect my ipod to my computer to charge it wont register want songs i have listened to (for example the play count or when it was last played) it's not much of a problem cause i can still listen to it but i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Your sync settings may have changed. I have my ipod to NOT automatically sync and it never tells iTunes how many times I have played the song. But because I have my iPhone sync, it tells the computer how many times I listen to the songs.
I do not know if this will help you, but it may point you in the right direction.

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?
Are any fo the unsyning songs DRM protected?
What is the detail format of the non-syncing songs?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod

My iphone wont play certain songs that i bought from itunes on my phone, it just skips songs. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My iphone wont play certain songs that i bought from itunes on my phone, it just skips songs. Does anyone know how to fix this?

So i fixed it by converting each song to a AAC File or whatever. Made a dulicate song but it works, just right click on the song and hit convert to aACC File. For one album I had to right click view in apple store and hit download on the songs that were skipping.

When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine"

When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine". The weird thing is that I downloaded the film from iTunes and while it was downloading I was watching it with my kids on my IMac. Once it had finished downloading I went with them to the living room Tao carry on watching on our apple tv. The apple TV wouldn't play it and said I needed to authorise my Pc, then the IMac gave the message above and I haven't been able to play it since. All my other downloaded films play. I am running iTunes version 10.2.2. And my iMac is Running Snow Leopard OS 10.6.7. Anyone who can shed some light on this weird situation will have my upmost thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem. Been trying to find some answers, but not a lot of info about this. It seems to happen only when:
- itunes library is stored remote (NAS or external HD)
- starting a movie/show before download has finished will make it fail next time you try to start
Hope this gets fixed soon.. it's making purchasing content via itunes a hassle

How do I print a list of the songs I have downloaded?

How do I print a list of the songs I have downloaded on I Tunes? Also I would like to know how to print a lable for the jewel case the cd's go in.

The way you described is how I normally printed my list but for whatever the reason I cannot do that now. Thank you for your help.

Apple tv wont play full songs

My apple tv wont play full songs durring shuffle mode. Its really frustrating because it is completely at random. I reset and restored and nothing seems to be helping.

MOV is a container, the codec and specs inside need to be compatible as well. Depending on what software was used for the conversion, that may also be a factor.
See below
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

How do I play a game I have downloaded to iTunes?

I can't figure out to actually play a game I have downloaded to iTunes. Sorry, I am new to this, and I would like to play on a game on my desktop, but can't figure out how to do that. Is there a way to save it to my desktop so I can just click on it when I want to play?

It sounds like you have downloaded a game from the App Store in iTunes. These Apps can only be run on iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPods) and you can check the App's specifications on the info page in the App Store to see which specific devices the developers have made the game for.
