Corrupt song on iPod Touch downloaded from iTunes

How do I get rid of it? And then get the uncorrupted file from iTunes? And what does the iCloud has to do with this?
(digression: I tried to get help through "Report a Problem" button, but I ended up wasting 45 minutes with Apple Support pages and could find no way to get to a real Support page. And so I am trying here.)

I fixed it myself. I "deleted" the songs from iTunes on computer into the iCloud. Then "hid" the songs from my Purchase list in the iTune store. Then I "unhid them" on iTunes store and redownloaded them from iCloud to iTunes on computer. Then did a Sync of my iPod Touch with iTunes on computer. Now my 4 songs are playing without stuttering and stopping.

Keeping songs on ipod after reinstalling new itunes-help!

I recently wiped all programs off my computer and reinstalled them due to virus issues. However I did not realise that the new itunes program would not recognise the songs on my ipod and wants to write over the songs before allowing me to put new songs on there! I do not have another backup of these songs that are on my ipod- how do I overcome this problem?

First, set iTunes to manually sync to music instead of automatically doing it:

Next, if you need to transfer items from your ipod to comp, see tis thread:

Are you sure to have the full length file in the library? If you start playing it, will it show the full runtime on the controls?

I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform.

Corrupt aac files after downloading from iTunes!

Hi,
the download manager of iTunes is bad! If downloads are interrupted and resumed later (lack of electricity supply, disruption of the Internet connection), then aac files are not valid! Such a file stops playing in the middle of the song, for example. Yesterday I checked my library (with Parallels Desktop + Win XP + foobar2000 + foo verifier) and I found 45 invalid aac files! All of these files I recently downloaded (iTunes Match matching process).
Why iTunes don't check the file size or a checksum after downloading???

Yes. I've had and continue to have this problem of a small number of songs getting downloaded corrupt when updatings songs via iTunes Match.
Deleting and re-downloading from iTunes Match is the only solution I have found for the problem as I am having it: the songs ARE corrupted for me, and it's not just a metadata problem. When I open the songs in an audio editing program you can see that the audio just isn't there: the data stops before the end of the song (somewhere between 50% and 70% through the piece, usually). So copying it to another computer or re-importing it won't fix anything.
The problem is that iTunes doesn't KNOW which of the songs I've matched-then-downloaded via iTunes Match are bad, and I won't know either until I happen to play one that skips before it ends.
Here's the only solution I've found that will inspect these songs one at a time and list the bad ones:
Create a Playlist of all songs you've downloaded (upgraded) via iTunes Match.
Plug in an iPod (etc.) and wipe out whatever songs are on it already.
In the iTunes setting for that iOS device, tell it to recompress the songs to 128k AAC as it puts the songs onto the iOS device.
Now sync that entire Playlist to the device and wait.
Result: all songs that cannot be down-converted by iTunes to 128k AAC (because the song data is bad) will be listed in the resulting error dialog.
Here's the total suck part: iTunes doesn't let you save that list of errors off to a text file. You have to do one or more screen captures and save off the list, then manually go find those songs, delete them and re-download them from iTunes Match. Total PIA but it's the best I have come up with, since I can find no other utility or means to batch-check that these files are valid.

TS3159 Songs skipping after downloading from iTunes

Songs skipping after downloading on iTunes

Hello, cajunkiwi.
Thank you for the question. There are a couple options to help you with this. If limited purchased media skips only on the iPhone, then delete the affected content and download it again free of charge via the purchased section of the iTunes Store. If almost all of your media library skips on the iPhone only, remove all music from the device by removing the preference to sync music. After this has been completed, restore the sync music preference to place the media back on the the device. Below are a couple articles that will walk you through this process.

Lost songs after downloading from itunes

Hi,
I have gotten overly frustrated and decided to not use itunes for the last couple of months because of it! In July, I lost my itunes library when my hard drive crashed. I emailed itunes then and they told me how to get back the majority of the songs I had bought from itunes. I did these steps and found that I was still missing a great deal of bought itunes songs and albums. Some examples are albums by Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat, and James Blunt. I did make a back up disk at one point of my itunes but I was not able to retrieve the songs off of this either. Now my itunes has the songs I was able to download back in July and a ton of broken links to all my other songs. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you

I would call Apple back, explain to them that you are very upset, and if that doesn't help, tell the Apple Customer Service people that your friends are hearing about the bad costumer service at Apple (because of this particular issue) and now you are recommending that they get a PC instead of buying a new Mac. I think that will do the trick! Don't forget the part about recommending to your friends to buy a PC instead of a new Mac, that will be the selling piece!
Hope it helps,
Brandon

How long is too long for the IPod to download from ITunes??

I just swapped my busted IPod for a new one and the installation process seemed to be going fine. I've updated the new IPod, but now I've plugged it in to download my ITunes and it's still blinking Do Not Disconnect after 12 hours!! Isn't this too long? I mean, I have about 2500 songs, so I expected it to take a while, but this seems a bit extreme...what do I do?

You have a connection problem with the iPod. You might need to re-install iTunes.

How do you delete artist on ipod after deleted from itunes

I've deleted all artists from ITunes but they still appear on my Ipod

There's a couple of ways you can do it. If the iPod is plugged into iTunes go to iTunes in the source pane on the left expand the arrow songs or (music) and it will show a list of all songs currently on the iPod. You can then delete from that list there or you can delete it right off from your iPod by swiping across the song until you see a delete button come up and then hit delele and then it should be gone.
