Using iTunes On An Authorized PC

I purchased an album two nights ago. When I went to my library to look a the album, and the songs, one song had the little cloud icon next to it. It would not play that song. Got a message about needing to authorize "this computer to play that particular song". Fumbled around, clicked the cloud icon and some other clicks, now that song plays fine. Now I have another song out of this album that will not play. Get the "need to authorize this computer to play this song. I just bought it as an album, the other songs play...what gives here? Some items I read said things about "maybe I didn't purchase this song with the same account"..., that's bull. I bought the entire album on one account If you have any input it will be much appreciated. Thank you.


Ps. I loaded this album onto my iPod Nano, when I play the album, the problem song shows in the listing, but it skips right over it when the iPod gets to it.

Delete and redownload the song which won't play; if you get told that you'll be charged again, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

Just wanted to circle back and say thank you.

I right clicked on the song(in the album) and deleted it. I selected remove to recycle bin. Didn't want any bits hanging around.

As soon as it was deleted, the little blue download cloud appeared, hit that, all is good now. Plugged in my 7th Gen Nano, it sync'd, so I figured it updated the non-playing song, which it didn't. Probably could have deleted that song from the Nano, then dragged the album over to it again. I just deleted the album, and dragged it over. All good. Thank you for your time.
