Why won't Apple fix this problem of iTunes Cutting off songs?

I've owned seven different ipods and three iPhones. On EVERY ONE OF THEM iTunes cuts off many songs after two or three seconds of playing. We're talking here about songs either uploaded from commercially purchased DVDs or the iTunes store. I have no bootleg music, I don't customize anything related to iTunes. I just buy music and download it into iTunes from MacBook Pro laptops that are similarly as standard as one can get. Yet when I listen to the albums of songs I've just purchased, random songs play for two seconds and then change to another song. When I've researched this issue across the Web I've found detailed complaints going back as early as 2004 and I can't believe that EVERY Apple iTunes system and device I've purchased over many years has behaved in this exact manner. What are these "Apple Support Communities" FOR is Apple fails to either correct the problems they report or, worse, even acknowledge problems that are documented by thousands of users of a wide variety of iTunes related products? I don't want to have to use a work-around or a reload or some of the other Rube Goldberg-like solutions others have suggested in these and other forums. I'm spending thousands of dollars on Apple equipment and software and I simply want the Apple iTunes devices and music that I buy to WORK AS ADVERTISED, which they don't. I just want my music to play as it is supposed to play. Why can't Apple make that happen?

That's happing to me, any solution ?

    Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

  • Why won't Apple admit the problem with 6th generation nano power button?

    The power (sleep) button on the 6th generation nano is obviously faulty and poorly designed. Why won't Apple step up and make it right and issue a recall to fix or solve the issue so many people are having? Apple, do you hear us? Make it right! You know it's wrong! If a power button fails after a couple of years, that's a sad design. Shame on you!

    No, they don't hear you posting here. My button is working fine after 3 years.
    This is primarily a user-to-user technical support site. You've wasted your time here.
    Go down to Contact Us at the bottom right, get Apple's address and right them a letter.

  • How do you enable a disabled Apple ID.  I have reset password, an everything else it wanted.  Still get "Apple ID Disabled".  Why doesn't Apple address this problem?

    My Itunes and IPOD Touch are receiving error message:  "APPLE ID DISABLED"  I have reset password, and everything else they wanted me to do.  Why doesn"t Apple address this issue?  Is the a secret place to go to fix this problem?

  • Facetime Camera not working for Google Hangouts due to recent update. Will Apple fix this problem?

    Hi,
    My FaceTime camera no longer works in Google hangouts due to a recent update from Apple. Will Apple fix this bug soon? Unfortunately, I do not have time machine.

    I am having the same problem. Can this be fixed?

  • HT202636 How is it that apple allows you to permanently delete photos, but not books. Some books are a blight, and one has buyer's remorse, and they should be obliterated? Why won't Apple allow this to happen? We can do it with photos? And iI think music?

    I want, for whatever reason, to be able to permanently delete, not just hide, books and PDFs from my iCloud? Why won't Apple let me? Beg pardon from Apple if I'm mistaken, but don't think so.

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

  • Why won't Apple fix the wifi connectivity problem with the iMac and new OS instead of just havin us go through hours of useless mock fixes!

    I have spent hours with apple care about this problem with wifi connectivity.  According to all the posts I'm not alone.  I love my new IMAC
    but i'll be glad to go back to my PC just so I can get my email without all the headaches.  It seems that Apple has lost interest in
    the IMAC and all of the problems associated with the new OS. 

    Keep in mind that ASC is where people go to get help, so yes, you are seeing reports of people who are having WiFi connection issues. But while it might seem like there are lots of people having trouble, given the sheer number of iMacs in use, it is a very small number. Also keep in mind that WiFi isn't totally under Apple's control. There are dozens of WiFi routers. Even worse, the manufacturers of WiFi routers often release firmware upgrades to fix flaws without ever informing the consumer. And just to add to the confusion, while WiFi 801.2 n routers have been sold for several years, for most of that time there was no agreed upon standard!
    So if you'd like help, first, what router do you have and have you checked the vendor site to see that it has the latest firmware?

  • HT5429 Why won't Apple admit this is a terrible product?

    I am so dissapointed by Apple's behaviour here - I have been a loyal user of an iMac, various iPods, the iPhone and iPad. This product is utter rubbish, 3rd rate. The arrogance of Apple thinking I will put up with this 'because they are soooo cool' staggers me.
    Apple has one option - send an IOS6 update that allows users to have Apple Maps and Google Maps. They can get rid of the Google option when and only when the Apple alternative is up to scratch.

    First of all... it sounds like your post is referring to the iTunes Music Store portion, not the application itself. Is this correct?
    Do you use a router for your internet connection? Just wanted to make sure... the IP address and subnet mask listed above are common IP addresses when a router is in use.
    (although most default to 192.168.1.1 for the router's IP... could be wrong though)
    If so, make sure that ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) haven't been closed in any way. If you can view normal and secure web pages without a problem, then these should already be open; the Music Store uses these as well.
    Also, does the following article help?

    As Meg and some other posters mentioned, do you have any other software (aside from firewall software) running that blocks certain ports? Many antivirus packages on the market now feature built in "Internet Security" options, which (I believe) add firewall options to block malicious traffic to your system.

  • APPLE FIX THIS PROBLEM

    IT IS NOT OK TO DISABLE EVERYONE'S EXISTING PHONE SERVICE!
    I am receiving emails from my kids saying they have no phone service and as a result do not feel safe in the event of emergency. As a result I have to leave work early. TURNING OFF EXISTING PHONE SERVICE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

    AGREED!!!   I "think" I downloaded the 2.0 software successfully, possibly installed as well but have no idea!  My iphone screen indicates to connect to itunes, but itunes keeps saying it can't connect to the server. I updated itunes, restarted my computer several times, unplugged the phone, reset the phone.....can't do anything.  I reset the sync history after trying to roll back to previous sync, and nothing.  My iphone page in itunes is blank with iphone logo in the middle of the screen.  I am so aggravated and angry.  My phone has no service and I can't do a thing to restore, reset, roll back or fix.
    If this is due to high server traffic, which I assume it is, that is really unacceptable.  Apple has been dangling this release for months, along with the new 3G release.  I'm sure thousands of people are trying to activate their new phones, it makes sense to allow existing customers update the new software a day or two ahead of the new 3G release to avoid this.  
    Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?  I need my friggin phone!

  • Mac OSX 10.5.7 and GMAx3100: NO UPDATES!! Why Apple don't fix this problem?

    I update yesterday to mac osx 10.5.7 my macbook with gma x3100. Exposè in VERY SLOW since 10.5.0 (on tiger will work perfectly), opengl performance are very poor respect gma950 and it is incredible!!!
    why apple ignore us? why gmax3100 users can't use exposè because is very very slow and not fluid?
    Apple fix this problem, it is RIDICOLOUS.

    Man... gmax3100 have a POOR opengl performance under Mac Osx Leopard in 2d. It is NOT my problem but it is a known problem. Try to run some benchmark with gma950 and gma x3100.
    Macbook c2d 2.2 opengl performance x3100: 23.28
    MacMini cd 1.6 opengl performance gma950: 184.76
    it is a know problem:

    ecc.
    exposè make 40fps and it is NOT fluid like a nvidia or ati card. Exposè is a simple animation, under arch linux and geforce3 (2001) is more more fluid respect leopard... and respect to tiger.
    with this hack:
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates 0
    exposè is much MORE fluid so it is a driver problem (because with tiger there's no problem!!)
    I have NO problem with my macbook.

  • FCP X version 10.1.1.  When Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your discd.  Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder"  I have 700GB   free.  Where is this target folder located?  how can I fix this problem? not space prob

    Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc.  Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder"  I have 700GB   free.  Where is this target folder located?  How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem. 
    Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production.  Has Apple fixed this problem.  is there a knowledge base article on this?
    On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project,  I cannot share it.....Really.  This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.
    Regards,
    Rob Harris

    Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
    I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work.  I will repair permissions again,  I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
    There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!
