iTunes

I purchased an album and my computer keeps asking me to authorize my already authorized computer to play 4 of 30 songs. They also won't play on my iPod.


Why am I continuously being asked to reauthorize?


Also, had to re-download already downloaded music to move some to my iPod and now I have duplicates all over my library.


Are there any fixes for this?

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for recent store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. 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.
