A number of songs I downloaded from the iTunes store are not playing the whole way through.

Some of the songs are only playing for a couple of seconds, them others I have purhased around the same time are playing the whole way through. Is there any way to fix this?

Hey maddielou2,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines a resolution to your issue:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
- Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
- Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
- Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • HT1933 I have songs I downloaded and paid for but are not playing in my iTunes.

    I paid for some songs to download but now they aren't playing in iTunes. They still show up in the list but won't play. I don't have the email proof that I purchased the songs.

    Are they still in your country's store, and do they show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for redownloading, or if using your computer's iTunes the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store home page ? Whether music will show there will depend upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether they are still in your country's store (any item could be removed by the rights-holder at any time), and whether they are hidden (hiding and unhiding) - if they show but don't have the cloud symbol for redownloading then are they still listed in your device/computer's library ?

  • TS1718 The movies I have downloaded to my itunes account are not playing. When I try to play one, itunes quits working. i have watched the movies before without this happening. I wish I could actually talk to a live person at apple to help!

    I am having issues playing the movies I have downloaded onto my computer with ITunes. I have watched them before, but now ITunes shuts down whenever I try to watch one.

    It is else it would not have been able to be selected to import.
    The simple fact that it shows up in iTunes Search means it is in the iTune library.
    It is a bug where some imports do not show up in the iTunes library (but they usually show up in Recently Imported playlist) until a restart of iTunes, which usually fixes it.

  • I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 do not play the audio. Can hear audio on camera or downloading same files to a PC. Also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid problem & recover lost audio?

    Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 to iMovie '11 do not play the audio. I can still hear audio on the camera or by downloading the same files to a PC. Can also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from the same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid this problemand recover lthe ost audio?

    The first thing to try is to run Software Update (the Update tab in the Mac App Store.). This was an issue a couple of releases ago, and an update seemed to fix it.
    If you are already at the most recent version of iMovie, then I don't know how to solve you issue. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.

  • Songs not played the whole way through

    On several of my song on my ipod, it will start to play the song just fine. After a while, the song will stop, the time left in the song will be 1 second and I have a really hard time to get it to start playing it again. I have tried lot of different methods from restarting the ipod to restoring the ipod. Does anyone else have this problem or am i the only one?

    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:
    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 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.

  • Can i store my music on my device without using my data in my phone plan streaming from the cloud? How do i put what I want on there without waiting for each song to download from the cloud one at a time?

    How can I store the music I listen to on my iphone without streaming it from the cloud and using all my data on my phone plans?  How do I dump it on my phone all at once in itunes rather than waiting for each song to download individually from the cloud?

    What??  You asked how to get all your music on your phone at once rather than downloading it to your phone from iCloud.
    Go to your purchased list in iTunes and download all your music to your iTunes library, as explained in the linked article.  Then sync it all to your phone using iTunes you're done.  The music will be stored locally on your phone and you won't have to download it again in the future.

  • Why are some of the songs im downloading from the itunes store appearing on my phone twice?

    not all the ones i bought are doing this but most of them are. how do i fix this?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks 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 that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
    Apple do a battery replacement service - in the US the cost for replacing the battery in an iPod Classic is $59 : http://www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html

  • In the past iTunes used to sync any song i download from the web to playlists!

  • 238 songs purchased from the iTunes store will not play.

    I downloaded 238 songs based on "Best of" lists without previewing any of them beforehand. As it turned out, when I attempted to play a song, it would not start going. I tried double-clicking the song, pressing the playing button, and selecting play from the controls list. I have the computer authorized. It is 1 out of 5. I don't know if it could be the case, but I have 3 computers authorized from an old account with a different e-mail address and an old credit card number I no longer use. Since I got a new computer, I simply created a new account. It also could be that I don't have a working sound card, but that would just mean that I couldn't "hear" the song, not that it wouldn't start to play. I bought a shuffle expecting to put these 238 songs onto it. What is going on?

    Hello there,
    I have had a similar proble and the details are as follows:
    Towards the end of the process of setting up the account there was a window that flashed momentarily saying somthing like "an authorixation file could not be installed". However, the next window stated that the account set up installation was successful.
    Now that I have purchased a few songs I cannot listen in itunes nor download them on the iPod because (after I enter my password) a window with this message appears saying:
    Beg Quote:
    " itunes
    There was an error sharing your authorization information on this computer.
    The required file was not found or has a permission error. Correct this permission problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permission cannot be changed."
    End Quote
    I have tried to "Deauthorize the computer for the Music Store Account" but the same window as above comes up and I am back where I started.
    I would appreciate Customer Support on this and I look forward to a reply from the itunes Music Store so that I can utilize the services I signed up for.
    Thank you and best regards,
    Judy
    PS:
    We are Canadians living in UK. Accordingly, we created the account using our Canadian billing address but our Internet provider is NTL in the United Kingdom.

  • HT1725 What do I do if the download says it is complete, but the song does not play the whole way through?

    I downloaded an album from the itunes store, which completed fine, but when I play it, some songs play through fully and some go silent about 15 seconds before they should end. How do I fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
