Have done all the above and still cannot play song after authorizing numerous times

After following all the instructions, I still cannot play a purchased song on my laptop even after authorizing numerous times - what do I do now?

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Backup and then delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.
