Album purchased from iTunes plays fine in library but skips on iPod...

I RECENTLY PURCHASED AN ALBUM FROM ITUNES. I AM ABLE TO PLAY ALL THE SONGS FROM THE ALBUM WHILE I'M CONNECTED TO MY PC. IT PLAYS IN MY LIBRARY FOLDER, PURCHASED FOLDER AND EVEN IN MY DEVICES FOLDER.
BUT I AM UNABLE TO ALL THE SONGS FROM THE ALBUM ON MY IPOD. ALL THE SONGS SEEM TO HAVE TRANSFERRED FINE BUT WHEN I TRY TO PLAY THEM ON MY IPOD, THEY SKIP. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE 23 SONGS ON THE ALBUM - I WILL START OUT WITH THE FIRST SONG AND CLICK PLAY AND IT WIL SKIP IN ORDER TO 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, AND THEN PLAY TRACK 8, 9, 10 - THEN SKIP A FEW MORE THEN PLAY A FEW MORE.
I HAVE E-MAILED APPLE AND THEY REPLIED WITH A FEW TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS. NOE OF THE TIPS WORKED.
THEN I CALLED AND THEY WALKED ME THROUGH A FEW MORE TIPS. NONE OF THEM WORKED. THEY RECOMMENDED I SEND ANOTHER E-MAIL WHICH I DID BUT I HAVENT HEARD ANYTHING YET.
i called again this morning and they recomended i go to the apple store. i went to the SOHO apple store in NYC. they performed nothing on my ipod. after he looked up my confirmation # and read through the notes, he told me i needed a new ipod but that there were none in stock
in the entire store. i find that very hard to believe!!!!
i also question his recommendation because the ipod is only 6months old and as i've mentioned, everything i transfer works fine on my ipod except this one album which i purchased from itunes. that is the only purchase i have ever made, and at this point it will probably be my last!!!
is there something else i can try before i go through the trouble of getting a new ipod.
PLEASE HELP!!!
THANKS

Try this Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Test the sound again.

Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

Video purchased from iTunes Music Store not compatible with my video iPod?

I purchased the White Stripes music video for "The Hardest Button to Button" from iTunes, but when I plug in my video iPod, it says it can't copy it over because it "can't be played" on my iPod. I don't understand what to do! All the other videos I've purchased from iTunes has copied/played fine...
Can someone please help me figure out what to do? Is it a bad video and I need to seek a replacement from Apple? I'm using iTunes 6.1, not the newest iPod updater (because of all the problems with it), video iPod, and Windows XP.
Thanks!

I need help! I've followed some suggestions from people at the IGN forums, but nothing has worked so far. I'm in the process of waiting on a reply from Apple.
Please help!

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.

Album Purchased from iTunes Store split up

I purchased the new Robbie Williams Swings Both Ways (Deluxe Version) album from itunes store last night but it has split the songs up as follows :
Songs 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 together
Song 3 on it's own
Song 5 on it's own
Song 6 on it's own
Song 7 on it's own
Song 10 on it's own
How can I get them all back into one album?
Thanks

Hi!
I am experiencing the same kind of issue. This week, I was downloading / purchasing an album on iTunes with iTunes 7.2 The download happened while iTunes was being updated (through Apple Software Update). 6 of the 8 songs got downloaded and then my computer froze. Downloads were still on-going and iTunes update was still installing. I had to restart my computer.
When it restarted, I had to start "Apple Software Update" over again for iTunes to work again. When it completed the update, only 6 of 8 songs were showing on my library. When I clicked on "Store" and "Check for purchases" and it allowed me to download the missing two songs.
Unfortanetely for me, now these two songs cannot be played by iTunes. As described in this post, iTunes simply skips these songs and goes to the next one. My computer is authorized correctly, and all other songs (purchased or not) are ok. I have also tried to download the Song of the week, and it hasn't solved my issue although the song of the week plays correctly.
Any idea??
Thanks!

Downloaded movies from Itunes plays with no sound, but YouTube, MobileMe, Imovies, all play correctly?

I have tried this on two TVs with the same effect, no sound. The HDMI connection works for everything else, Itunes music, etc.

Could this be related to that AC3 no ACC audio track issue discussed here...

I have yet to upgrade my TV to the latest due to the 5.1 audio issue....
Do I need to worry about ALL my other files that are in AAC audio?

Why are only the albums i purchased from itunes only visable on my Apple, but all are visable on my ipad

On itunes I have a mix of albums I purcahesd from itunes, and those uploaded from original CD's. I now have an Apple TV with itunes match, but only when the computer and itunes are on, are all albums are visable and playable on the Apple Tv. When itunes and computer is off, only albums purchased from itunes are visable in my music on the Apple TV. However, on my iPad, all albums are visable and playable, (cloud icon with down arrow next to track). I am on home sharing, and I thought Match would alllow playing of albums without the computer and itunes running, as on the iPad. I must have missed something somewhere? so a hit of guidance required plesase.Thanks

Hi again. Yes I did try turning match on and off both in the Apple Tv and itunes several time to no availaile.
However!!! I turned off home sharing and Match on itunes and shut it down. On the Apple TV I did a complete restart, which led to a lengthy period to carry out an upgrade. once completed I set up the Apple TV turned on Match, and lo and behold all the albums now appear in My Music!. Also confirm they are on computers by turning on itunes and home sharing and match. Everything appears to be OK now.

Tracks purchased from iTunes automatically synching to iPod Touch

Have a problem with tracks and albums purchased from iTunes, which are automatically synching to my iPod Touch (5th Gen), even though I have already transferred them manually via my PC. The duplicates appear in the Music list in a greyed-out text, whereas my manually transferred albums are in bold.
Can anyone advise why this is happening, and how to prevent it?
Sorry, posted in wrong place, have Windows PC, not Mac.

iTunes still works with ALL iPods, back the original iPod.
The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar. From the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Does your iPod appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
If it does, select it there. Over to the right, there is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. This screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod with songs from the iTunes library. You need to set it up, so that the songs you want on the iPod are included in your selection. If your entire iTunes Music library will fit on the iPod, you can choose the option for Entire music library. Otherwise, choose Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
NOTE: If the iPod already has songs on it, its current content will be replaced by your selection on the Music tab, when you click Apply.

Fifth Generation iPod won't play anything purchased from iTunes!

My 30GB iPod video will not play anything that I have purchased from iTunes.
I just got it last week and this is really frustrating.
I got "Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth" and the album "Liquid Swords" by Genius/GZA. The video and all the songs play fine in iTunes but my iPod skips through the songs not playing anything and when I try to play the video it goes black like it's going to start playing but then it just goes back to the menu.
I have looked through the support page and have tried de-authorizing and reauthorizing my computer, updating my iPod (it was up-to-date), restoring my iPod, removing the files from my iPod and putting them back on, re-installing iPod updater, running repair on iTunes, recreating your iTunes library, resetting my iPod, and even tried using a different USB port. All of which produced the same results as before.
If anybody could help me out here it would be greatly appreciated. I can’t believe it is this difficult to get files from iTunes to an iPod, aren’t these supposed to go hand-in-hand?!?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
First set of steps (These are general instructions. You may have tried some)...
Try playing the song in iTunes for a few seconds, then sync the iPod. Does it work?
Also, in iTunes go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the song. Type in your iTunes account information and password. Play a few song you have purchased for a few seconds each.
Sync the iPod. Do they work?
Also, make sure everything is up to date...

I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone.

I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone. i have tried the following:
1) Removing all music from phone and resynced to iTunes PC library.
2) Erased phone and restored from back up
3) Erased phone and started as a new iPhone
4) Reformated the music files in my library that weren't playing
5) Deleted songs from iPhone and computer and re-imported CDs
6) Tried to redownload my COMPLETE MUSIC LIBRARY from iCloud.
7) I have also turned it off and turned it back on several times
8) I tried syncing through my macbook (only moved partial songs to it to see if it would even work).
9) I have tried to get Siri to play them, did not work.
10) All music does play fine on my iPod Touch 3rd (iOS6 i think) gen and iTunes on Mac and PC
11) I added a CD to my roommates iTunes and it plays on their iPhone 5S but not mine.
After all of these things it is now WORSE!!! My iTunes purchased songs are now experiencing the same issue along with some (not all) of the original music files that were skipping and grayed out. My conclusion is i have no clue at this point! I have done everything i have found online in EVERY discussion, i have spent over 60 hours trying to get this to work and i am asking myself, i bought this product why am having to fix this when it worked just fine on my iPod touch (3rd Gen) and iPod Classic!!!! PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS ISSUE FOR US!!!!

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

TS1389 older purchases from iTunes keep on prompting me to authorise and still don't play.

i'm having trouble with older purchases from itunes, now that i'm transferring them from a pc to a mac. Tracks and albums brought within the last two years are fine, but anything older as me to authorise to computer each time try to play the track.

Hello makray,
I was looking into reasons why iTunes would keep prompting you to authorize items and still not play them, and found a great little article. It is named iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389.
This is the overview of things to try but each one has its own set of instructions.
Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
Authorize using the correct account name
Turn Off User Account Controls (Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only)
Remove the SC Info folder
All the very best,
Sterling
