Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

The last 3 songs I purchased from the I-tunes store show up in my I-tunes library, but will not play, nor can I burn a cd with them in my playlist. What am I supposed to do?

Recently, the songs I purchase from the I-tunes store will show up in my library and on my I-phone, but WILL NOT play on my laptop nor will they play if I include them on a playlist to burn a cd. What am I supposed to do? This is a new development. Please help!

Windows, Windows 10

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.
