A song that I just bought won't play more than 1 minute and 3 seconds with sound.

I bought a song 2 days ago and I tried to listen to it but only 1 minute and 3 seconds of it will play with sound. My iPod says that the song is still playing but there is no sound. The volume is up but there is nothing. I tried to "report a problem" when I got the email receipt but my iPod said it couldn't connect to the iTunes store.

Try deleting the song and redownloading it if you are in a country (USA is one) that allows free redownloads by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    My movie won't play past two minutes and thirty-seven seconds. What do I do?

    Hello Bdev15,
    I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:

  • Computer won't run more than 3-4 seconds after turning on then shuts down. New CPU installed

    I replaced a damaged AMD Phenom II 820 quad CPU with what HP said was a compatible AMD Phenom II 965 quad Black edition on my HP Pavilion p6320y. AMD recommended that I also replace the existing 300w PSU with a 500w PSU. That was done succesfully as well. When I turn the machine on, the cooling fans come on but run for no more than 3-4 seconds and the machine turns itself off. The CPU is brand new and has been determined to be fine, not to have been a DOA. Does anyone have suggestions? 
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    I'd recommend checking with HP again as I don't believe the 'Black Edition' is supported on this machine.

  • A song I just bought won't play in my iTunes?

    I've never had this problem before though some of my friends have and now it's happening to me.  I just bought a song probably 15 minutes ago and whenever I click on it to play it it skips to the next song.  I tried playing it in quicktime and quicktime said it "wasn't authorized to play the song" and to play it in iTunes but I can't play it there either.  I tried deleting the song from my purchased list and redownloading it with iCloud but it when I deleted it the cloud symbol didn't show up next to the song in my music library like it usually does for my other songs.  So now I have no idea what to do.  Has anyone had this happen to them and knows how to fix it?
    Also my computer is authorized and there was no error message or anything.

    If your country's iTunes Store supports redownloads, I'd try deleting the song from your library and redownloading it. For instructions, see the following document:

  • TS1362 I have tried all of the above "fixes" and the cd that I just downloaded won't play properly. It says that the song is 3:33 long but only 1:40 of it plays before skipping to the next track

    How do I fix a cd that did not download correctly. I have tried all of the above fixes, but the songs either stop halfway through, or won't play at all.

    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.

  • The songs I have just bought do not play

    I have just bought three songs from the same album, and ONLY one plays.
    The other are in my list but don't play. Every time I try playing them, I receive a message
    that my computer is not authorized to play this song.
    This computer IS authorized, buy yet I authorize it again, and of course, I get a new message that reminds me what I
    already know: It IS authorized.
    I checked my account, my payment method, and reset my computer, but I still can't play the songs.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, 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.
    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.

  • Upgrade to iOS7.1 has broken Music. . .can't play songs in the cloud and songs that have been downloaded won't play either.

    I've discovered an interesting "feature" of iOS7.1 for the iPad (4th gen). 
    Since upgrading, I can no longer play music that is in the cloud and when trying to switch to a song that has been downloaded to the device, it won't play either; however, the equilizer graphic indicates that something is playing (bouncing up and down) but the song position indicator stays at 0:00.
    Eventually, iTunes/Music (not sure what to call it these days since Apple can't seem to decide either) gives up on the song selected, the on that is not playing, and moves to the next song.  If the next song is local to the device, music plays, if it's another song in the cloud, the pattern repeats until it hits a downloaded song.  Have also discovered, after my various and simple testing efforts, that I can no longer download songs from the cloud - I was able to download one song but afer that. . .kaput. 
    It takes a special level of brilliance to send out an update that breaks your own applications/code. . .particularly one so core to the device. 
    Two words for future releases. . ."Quality Assurance". 

    I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

  • Library won't play more than one song at a time

    What gives? My iTunes suddenly won't play a sequence of songs. Not from the library as a whole, not from any playlist. The files are all still there and I can highlight and play any ONE, but iTunes won't then go on to the next. Tried 'select all', that didn't work either. What setting have I accidently changed? Just downloaded the newest iTunes just in case, but that didn't help. Still only 1 song at a time. Makes using iTunes as background pretty useless.

    Are you saying that when you hit PAUSE the song doesn't stop playing?
    If you want to jump to a different song while one is already playing, you don't need to hit pause/stop at all. Simply go to the song you want to here, double click it and the song that was playing will stop and the double clicked song will start. No need to use the Stop/Pause/Play type controls at all.

  • HELP! My library won't play more than one song!

    Okay, so I've been using iTunes to listen to my music. I ALWAYS just click on Library in the sources list and then highlight shuffle and repeat then push play and it plays and shuffles through all of my tunes.
    All of a sudden last night, I clicked the 'next' button to skip a song I didn't want to hear and instead of skipping to another song, the player stopped and the only option available was play. So I hit play and it played the same song but wouldn't skip to a new one.
    I've restarted iTunes, re-installed iTunes... I've tried everything I can think of, but now I can't get my library to play through my songs.
    The only way it works now is if I place check marks next to the songs and hit play, but given that I have almost 5,000 mp3s, that would take a really long time. I went to 'edit/select all' but that doesn't check the boxes next to the songs, nor is there an option to do so all at once.
    Can anybody give me any siggestions on how to get things back to normal. How to play all the songs in my library without having to check each and every one of them? I am desperate for help and quite frustrated at the lengths I have had to go to to try to find someone to answer my question.
    It seems that iTunes (unless you want the music store) does not have an option for contacting customer support... at least not one that I can find. I guess we have to rely on each other or something, or search through the millions of troubleshooting questions, hoping to find the one we need. Whatever! Anyways, please help. Thanks.

    hiya!

    you've diagnosed the problem correctly. you need to recheck those boxes to get your shuffle working properly again.
    to do a "global recheck", go to your main library view, hold down your Ctrl key, and left-click one of the checkboxes.
    (the same technique can be used to do a "global uncheck".)

  • Playlists won't play more than one song at a time

    Hi
    I have setup some play lists, some play all the songs, others will only play one song then stop and I have to manually go to the next song. I don't understand and it's driving me mad! I read through some old posts on this and made sure that the check boxes next to my songs are ticked. I have also made sure that the shuffle & 'play playlist' icons are in blue. Is there anything else I can try? Please, please help!
    Gemma

    Besides the checkboxes next to songs, you might want to check the songs themselves with the Get Info command and make sure the "Skip When Shuffling" option it turned off. If your playlist is set to shuffle and your songs say skip when shuffling, then they won't play.
    Also, are these new playlists? Or are they playlists that were ok before but now (after upgrading to iTunes 7.6?) act differently?

  • Burned CD locks up and won't play more than the first track

    The cd burns perfectly and finishes but when you go to play it it will only play the first or first and second track. I have thrown away 6 disks. Does anyone know what is going on.

    Hi,
    This may happen because of you Internet connection. The reason why it only plays half of the song is that when it got downloaded, something might have happened to your connection. I realize that you can't re-download the songs, so try going to a friend's computer and download them again and then put them on your computer. Tell me if this works.

  • Why won't my computer play a song that I just bought and my computer is already authorized

    I bought a a song off of iTunes and downloaded it.  Now every time I try to play the song I get a message saying that I need to authorize my computer.  However, when I authorize the computer, I get another message saying I have already authorized this computer. Why can't I play this song?

    It's corrupt. Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.
