iTunes say my computer is not authorized

My computer tells me "This computer is not authorized to play (certain song)" Would you like to authorize it? And then I do! I think....

I put in my ID and password and it tells me, This computer had previously been authorized, it has been reauthorized.

But to no avail.

I still can't play the song.

Boohoo!!!

It only happens with some songs.

Recently purchased song won't play. A single track on a recently purchased album from iTunes won't play because "This computer is not authorized to play it". But the rest of the album plays fine, yet iTunes prompts me to reauthorize my computer with my login info, so I do, but it still won't play. It tells me the computer already had authority. What gives?

Won't play song because it says 'computer not authorized' I have had iTunes on my computer forever. I pre-ordered the new Alter Bridge release. The 4th song became available, so I downloaded it. But when I click on it, it says my computer is not authorized. So i enter my info and it then says "comuter was previously authorzied, it is now re'authorized". But then when I try to play the song again, it says "computer not authorized'. It plays the first 3 songs i got with no problem. And plays all my other songs with no problem. Why?

Delete and redownload the songs which won't play. If this isn't free in your country, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.
