I purchased a song on my PC from Itunes store. It will not play. I get a message stating I have to authorize this computer. I log in, then get a message saying this PC is already authorized. I still cannot play the song I just purchased.

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.
