ITunes 10.4 not playing songs all the way through

Hi all,
I am having an issue with iTunes 64bit 10.4. My songs don't play all the way through, sometimes playing a few seconds before skipping to the next one and sometimes well into the song before skipping (without any predictable pattern even for the same song). It doesn't seem to be an issue with the transfer of music files from old computer to new computer b/c the same thing happens with new iTunes Store downloads and when I play music stored on my old computer through Home Sharing.
Any ideas what may be causing this? Thanks for your help!

Same problem on my daughter's MacBook Pro that we bought last month. She started off with iTunes 10.4, upgraded to iTunes 10.7. Probably 64 bit, though I haven't checked. I think all the new Macs are obligatory 64 bit. The problem occurred with iT 10.4, and still happens with iT 10.7 So far, we have noticed the problem only on files transferred from an old computer. In particular, these are the m4p format, which are drm protected. It does not happen with all m4p files, though.
1) In this incarnation, the problem is entirely reproducible. If the same track is played over, it skips to the next track at exactly the same point.
2) The files are not corrupt. They can be played all the way through using Quicktime Player.
Other than that, I haven't a clue.

Why won't iTunes play songs all the way through?

I don't understand, and I am very frustrated... I JUST PAID for a bunch of music on iTunes & there are a few songs that play all the way through to completetion. For instance, I bought Rihanna's album LOUD & the song Fading only plays to :54 seconds; after which it claims to have played all the way through and skips to the next song? What the ****? I dont understand what the problem is... Help?

Delete the songs from your itunes library (just your library). Redownload them from the purchased section in the itunes store. I had the same problem and redownloading it worked for me.

ITunes won't play song all the way through

I purchased a song from the iTunes store and when I try to play it in iTunes, it plays the first 20 seconds of the song and then skips to the next song. Can this be fixed?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

IPod won't play song all the way through?

My iPod Classic skips a song at the 1:22 mark (shows the correct 7:04 running time) and begins next tune. One song out of 3,000 or so. Interesting.
What's up with that?
Thanks in advance.

Hmmm. Does this problem track play okay in iTunes?
Either way, I would try downloading a fresh copy of it again from iTunes via iCloud as explained in this Apple support document.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Then remove the originally downloaded version and sync the new one over to your iPod Classic.

Itunes library will not close down all the way

My iTunes library will not close down all the way. When I close the library I am unable to log back in or turn my computer off because itunes is still running although I x'd it out.

You're right, you shouldn't have to do that.
Well, you didn't say whether you've tried uninstalling & reinstalling itunes. Make sure it's installed with an admin user account. Then go into the WIndows Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages about any of the itunes processes in the installation package. That could give us a clue of what's going wrong.
Another thing that could be causing the problem is the "apple push" part of itunes, APSDaemon.exe. Read wiclee's post here about it.

HT201272 Songs/albums i purchased on iTunes do not play completely all the way to the end of the song. What happened? And what can I do to remedy this? I feel short-changed.

What do I do please?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those incomplete songs from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Music will not play all the way through

I have created a slide show in Iphoto '11 with 98 pictures. The show is 7 minutes long. I want to play music all the way through but it will only play 2 songs then the music stops. I have added more songs but only the first 2 will play. I have tried numerous times to add more songs but cannot get past the first 2. I have an iMac OS 10.6.7, 4GB memory, 3.06GHz. Thanks for any help.
Joe

I have tried that setting but then the whole show is messed up, some pictures freeze and some just zip through. If i only choose one song it will repeat for the entire show, if I pick 3 songs only 2 will play and the rest of the show is silent.

4 albums purchased from iTunes yesterday have songs not playing all the way through. They play for a period of time and skip to the next song. Everytime they are played. Can anyone help?

Some songs I purchased last night are not playing all the way through. Several songs from the 4 albums I purchased play for a period of time then just skip to the next song. The songs that do this, do it everytime they are played at the exact same spot. The songs that are affected skip to the next on iTunes on my PC which is updated to the most current iTunes and my 160gb iPod classic. Everytime they are played at the exact same spot. However on my other device, iPhone 4s all songs play just fine. I have almost 7,000 songs on my iPod and this has never happened before and I have played it awhile since downloading those albums yesterday. This is only happening with the albums purchased yesterday. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong?

I'm having the same issue with a few songs I just downloaded. It skips randomly in the middle of the song.

HT1349 My songs in iTunes are not playing all the way through on my MAC or my iPod?

My songs in itunes are not playing all the way through on my MAC

Quicktime Player should already be installed on the Mac. If you transferred Quicktime from a VAIO it will not run on a Mac -- no PC software will without using a special interface.
Right click or control+click on one of the files, then > Open with Quicktime Player.
I already suspect that since these files will not play completely on any of your devices that you have an incomplete download.

I just downloaded an album off of itunes and now it will not play all the way through. how do i fix the unfinished songs

i downloaded tragic kingdom by no doubt and about four of tthe songs will play about forty seconds in and switch to the next song, they do not play all the way through. i went through troubleshooting online but it was unhelpful and did not fix my problem. i need help, please!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:

Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

ITunes and Match not playing Apple Store purchases all the way through

Hi! I recently noticed that several (but not all) of the m4p songs on my computer will not play all the way through, with the music ending 30 seconds to 2 minutes before the end of the song. I decided to try Match thinking this would solve the problem (since they were purchased from Apple, Match is supposed to provide a clean copy, right?), but the songs cut off at the exact same point through Match as well. On my computer the song ends abruptly and switches to another. On my phone, with Match, the song either stays blank as it counts down the rest of the track or switches to another one while the information on the first song stays on screen until the point where it should have ended.
For a specific example: Ryuichi Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence off the album 1996 is a classical m4p. iTunes stops playing it 1:45 from the end. The stop and start times are listed correctly. It played correctly when I first purchased it from the Apple store in 2005.
Any help fixing this problem would be appreciated.

I finally found some answers. I guess the problem is related to moving protected AACs to a new computer. If anyone else is haivng this trouble, the solution can be found at:

Songs not playing all the way through.

When playing songs in iTunes, whether bought in iTunes or not, sometimes the song stops playing with 30 seconds left and goes to the next song. Why is this happening and how do i fix it?

SOLVED.
For a purchased song from iTunes that wont play all the way through, I did this:
Deleted the file from iTunes, including iCloud (if you have it)
Went back to trash and removed it to the desktop and re-added it back into iTunes.
File that did play only 1:23 of 3:00 mins now plays all the way through without skipping ahead/cutting off the rest of the song.
Synced re-imported song back to iPod and it plays perfectly. Can't believe this hasnt been figured out yet! Or even Apple support suggesting this.
The hard part is figuring out which songs do this as I only discovered the tracks by random shuffle and thought wth? Why wont it finish playing? Good luck guys. Hope this helps.
Did you notice if the problem was with imported tracks or purchased only tracks? It seems all mine were purchased tracks from the iTunes store with the extension .m4p
