My music from itunes doesn't play on my new iPhone

i have recently upgraded my iPhone from the 4 to the 4s, i have transferred everything from my old phone to my new one without any problems but when i go to play some music which i bought off iTunes it is not playing, and if it is an album it will skip through all the songs and not play one, this has only happened with 3 or 4 albums does anyone know how i can get it playing again or will i have to buy it all again

For difficulties transferring iTunes purchases, see this.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

HT1473 How do you move music from itunes on a windows computer to an iPhone 5, Music from my existing collection?

How do you move music from itunes in a XP computer to an iPhone 5?

You copy the content of your iTunes Library to the iPhone by connecting to the iPhone to your computer, using the USB lead that came wiht the phone, and allowing iTunes and the iPhone to Sync with one another.
This will leave the content in your iTunes Library. An iPhone (or iPod) is not desinged to be the only location for your music (or other content). The idea is that the iPhone (or iPod) has a copy of the Library.

Music from iTunes went to Win Med Player not iPhone

I have purchased music from iTunes with iPhone connected to PC, and msg appears ... ie... 'Some of the items in iTunes library were not copied to iPhone because they could not be found'... YET I have found them in my Win Media Player list, over 100 of them and they do play so.. how do I get them onto my iPhone. Not all purchased are syncing onto iPhone. I have tried to drag and drop, but msg then comes up... file not found. Help please... thanks

It sounds like the files are on your hard drive, but not in your iTunes library. Find the files (WMP apparently knows where they are) and drag them into the open iTunes Music Window. This will cause iTunes to create a library entry for them. The next time you sync your phone iTunes will know where they are.

How can I send music from itunes to my ipod on the new versio of itunes?

I just purchase some music from Itunes store. With the newest version of Itunes, I cannot figure out how to send them to my ipod. Any one have suggestions?

I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again. Copy playlists into iPod as usual.

My burned audio CD/DVD from iTunes doesn't play on a CD/DVD audio player

If I burn audio CD or DVD from my iTunes, I cannot play this music on an external player. Any recommendations? Thanks

Hi I just burned an MP3 CD straight from iTunes, and it doesn't play on any MP3 CD player I've tried it on (car MP3 deck, DVD player that plays audio CDs, and MP3s). Audio CDs burned from iTunes work fine though.
I've read somewhere, that when burning MP3 CDs from iTunes, iTunes burns it with Apples standard format, rather than CD players standard format of ISO 9660. And that is the reason why burned MP3 CDs from iTunes only plays on a Mac.
A work around I've done was select all the songs from my list duplicate them in another folder, and then reconvert them in MP3s (so that I don't have to search all over the place for each MP3 file). I then burned these MP3s onto a CD-R using toast's MP3 CD format. And it works on all my MP3 CD players. However, in doing this process, I've lost all the tags for each MP3. The only thing that comes up in the display is the name of the song. Artist, Album, etc... don't show up anymore.
Is there a way of burning an MP3 CD that will play on all MP3 enabled players, while keeping all ID Tags intact, in iTunes?
Thanks.

Re-downloaded music from itunes won't play

I purchased a couple of songs from itunes music store that didn't download properly because my computer overheated and switched itself off during download. On restart, the downloads didn't continue and checking purchases said that all songs had been downloaded when they hadn't. I reported problems with the downloads to apple support and they added the songs back to my account - all I had to do was check purchases again and they started downloading.
HOWEVER; now the downloads are complete, I try playing the first one and it doesn't play - just immediately jumps to the next new song which plays 3-4 seconds siliently then jumps to the next track I downloaded successfully and starts playing normally, like everything else in my collection.
The two tracks are indicating the correct duration, and the second one plays the second half of the song if you play it, quickly pause it, and move the playhead slider along to about halfway through the song. It will then play the remainder but the first song doesn't even give enough time to hit pause after attempting playback.
It's a coincidence that the two songs that i have re-downloaded are the ones that don't play at all. Does anyone know why? I've tried reporting the problem again but itunes says that as I have already previously reported a problem with those two tracks that I can't report another problem... crazy.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.

Reply to one of the original emails and tell them the re-download didn't work.
Don't report it as a new problem. Give them the URL to this discussion topic.
Does a free single of the week play OK? Sometimes getting a recent free single clears up issues like this.

Audio from itunes doesn't play well in imovie HD 6

I have quicktime 7.1 and imovie HD 6 and my audio from itunes plays only for a few seconds and goes out and doesn't play anymore throughout the movie. I'm only using photos and no transitions at the moment. It worked completely fine before upgrading to ilife 06. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hello Tia,
iMovie has quite an issue with Music Store files. See Karl Petersens post: Stutter in iMovie 5 & 6 — causes and workarounds
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534252&tstart=0
What you are looking for is workaround No. 5: Burn iTunes Songs to Audio CD
Generally it is recommended to work with AIFF files in iMovie/iDVD. To convert your iTunes music go to Preferences > Importing and choose AIFF Encoder from the drop-down menu. Now all music will be imported as AIFF. In addition to that you can ctrl-click existing files and choose "Convert to AIFF" from the pop-up menu.
Note that this will duplicate the files, so after conversion you'll have for example one m4p and one AIFF with the same name.
hope this helps

Song from iTunes doesn't play in full

Recently downloaded an album from iTunes but track 1 of said album doesn't play in full. I've downloaded the album as well as the track in question; nothing changed. Anyone else have this problem? If so how did you solve it?

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country. If it isn’t free or doesn’t resolve the issue, click here and contact Apple.

CD burnt from iTunes doesn't play on my stereo - help???

I can play the CD that I burned on my laptop but it won't play on my stereo. Is there a step I'm missing? I did notice that the songs "type of file" is listed as MPEG-3. Do I need to convert the files on the CD so I can play them on my stereo?

" I did notice that the songs "type of file" is
listed as MPEG-3."
Most likely there's your problem. As the previous
poster noted, you look like you burnt the cd as an
mp3 cd and not an audio cd. mp3 cds don't play on
regular cd players unless it's one of the newer cd
players specifically with this capability.
The burning settings referred to are under
edit/preferences/advanced/burning.
Make the sure the disc format selected is audio cd.
THANK YOU!!! That solved my problem! I asked a several people including some IT guys I know and known of them knew how to fix it.

How Do I Move My Music from ITunes on One PC to a New PC

My daughter took my old laptop which had all of my music and custom catagories. What files do i need to copy from the old ITunes folder to the new new install on my new PC so that I do not have to read all of my CD's in to the system again and preserve the music catagories.

It depends on how you have things organized.
You certainly need to copy all of the folders that have music in them (perhaps this is in your "My Music" folder, or an "iTunes music" folder.
You also need to copy your iTunes library files (.xml, .itl) - these will be in a folder called "iTunes." If your music is in that iTunes folder as well (but it will be in a sub-folder called "iTunes library" - then just copy the whole iTunes folder across.
