purchased song

I purchased and downloaded two songs today- one I can play on the computer and transfer to my I-phone-the other when I try to play it a message says that the computer is not authorized to play it. I enter my apple ID and password and hit Authorize but it does not seem to work?

Songs won't play I recently purchased an album on I tunes. Some of the songs will not play either on my ipod or laptop. On the laptop it tells me that the device is not authorized to play that song and shows me a window to authorize the device. When I put my user name and pass word in to authorize it tells me the device is already authorized but the songs still won't play. What else can I try?

cannot authorize song to play I purchased an album a couple of months ago. Turns out one of the songs in the album does not play cause it is not 'authorized' to play in either the downloaded form on my phone or on my computer through iTunes. I am prompted to 'Authorize this computer'. I am not asked to does this for any of the other songs in the album just the one. I input my information and it goes through and I get a screen that says this computer has been authorized to play this song, and now it is re-authorized to play this song. But I can't play the song. So I am left confused and unable to play my song. If it says this computer is already authorized why am I not allowed to play the song? As an FYI if I click on the song in question and it prompts me again to 'authorize my computer' which is the first step all over again. Any help is appreciated.

If it's still in the store try deleting it and redownloading it : Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books from the App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books - Apple Support
