Song not currently available in your region???

Trying to play songs from Joshua Tree (U2) on my iPad on itunes. It is a CD I own that I loaded into iTunes years ago. It plays fine on my PC on itunes, but on the iPad I get error message "This song is not currently available in your country or region". The song also plays fine on my iPod Touch. Seems to be an iPad issue.

iPad Pro, iOS 13

I performed a couple of steps so I'm not certain which one fixed it:


  1. I reconfirmed my Region as Canada.
  2. I performed an itunes software update.
  3. I resynced with my PC via cable instead of wifi.


It is working fine now, but because I did the three steps I'm not certain which did the trick. My geuss is 2.


zm - thanks for the attempt to assist

Hello,


iTunes Match will try and match/replace any music you imported from CD with versions from the iTunes Store. If you subscribe to iTunes Match then this song could have been replaced with a version from the iTunes Store and if you moved to another location it could be causing some region issues.
