Chunks of song missing!
I put some songs on my player. I was listening to it the other day and there are chunks of the songs missing, on some songs. Like it plays, then stops and then when I press fwd, it continues, but I need to know if this is the player or the song. Im pretty sure the file is ok, Im thinking its the player, but any help would be great.
Hi There
I had the same problem with my 1GB Shuffle on one song... but when i went on ITunes i found out the song was damaged and thats why it kept skipping and missing bits out...I think its best if you try out the song first before putting it through to your IPod. Good luck xxx

I have songs missing from my iTunes on the computer but they are on my iPhone 3s and my iPad mini. How can I get them into iTunes so they are in my library.?I have the latest iTunes on my commuter. Thanks for any suggestions.
If they were purchased from iTunes then connect the phone to your Mac's iTunes and the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. If they came from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
If by 'missing' you mean that you have them listed in the Music part of your iTunes library but get the 'would you like to locate' message when trying to play them then you will need to delete them from there for the Transfer Purchases to work - otherwise that will see those entries in your library and assume that you still have them somewhere and not copy them back. -
Copied my iTunes from my Mac to my Windows 7 laptop, now there are thousands of songs missing on the Windows copy with the exclamation point. everything shows up, playlists and tracks, there are just a bunch of songs with exclamation points. how can i properly sync my iTunes from my Mac to my PC? using iTunes
Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

I synced my ipod touch and the library opened up with some songs missing. These songs remain on my ipod, I thought that by syncing they would return to my itunes library. But they won't. Has anyone seen this before?
You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites or copied from your own CDs then are they not already on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPod.

G'day folks,
I have written a program which uses a gui, which is a number of JTabbedPanes with JPanels etc, I have the repaint() in there and the program works beautifully on the 8 different computers that I have tested it on which runs from a P150 on Win98SE to a P1.7 on XP, all have jre1.4.1_01, I am having trouble with one particular computer which is a dell P!!!833 with 256 MBRAM running on WinMe. When you click on any tab, the titles of the other tabs dissappear and chunks of graphics go missing (sometimes textfields, labels, whole/parts of panels), I have run it from the command line and there is no exceptions thrown when this is happening so I don't think it is a problem with the program(plus the fact that it works perfectly on 8 other computers). I dug through the archives and found a reference to problems with sony viao products whcih people reported as having problems with getting the blue death screen and they decided that this was due to some of the ATI chips and the 3d graphics in java not working coherently, however the symptoms are different, there is no blue death screen only chunks of graphics missing.
The said computer runs all windows based programs flawlessly, it is only with java (but there are no exceptions thrown, which is wierd cause I've written stuff where there are graphics errors e.g. making a tabbedpane as the contentpane and then when you switch between tabs you get a whole buch of paintcomponent errors etc - there is none of this).
I've basically narrowed it down to being a problem with this one computer and was wondering if anyone could maybe shed some light on the more technical systems networking or any other suggestions!
the said computer has an ATI mobility Rage 128 graphics chip.
Thanks alot for your help,
Oz!!!!!!If it runs fine on 8 other computers, that should pretty much tell ya there's some problem with the video of the problem machine.
A simple test is to right-click on screen and bring up screen Properties, go into Settings, then Advanced, then Troubleshooting panel and turn "Hardware Accelaration" all the way down.
Usually that will fix such problems, and if it does, points to a problem in the video drivers having bugs in that machine. If that does fix it, you can try updating the Video drivers and see if that works. -
I recently bought an album on iTunes. 10 of the songs came out corrupt and songs missing parts. What can I do?
Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been (and possibly still is) a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting them from your iTunes library and redownl 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 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 album and use the 'Report a Problem' link. -
Songs missing from purchased music but are in library?
I just got a new Macbook Air and uploaded my itunes music via flash drive. I also exported/imported my playlists. I just noticed that my purchased music playlist is missing the first 22 songs however, they are in my library. Any ideas why this would happen and how to fix it other than manually putting the songs back into that playlist?
The "purchased" playlist is automatically generated only when purchases are made on any particular computer and those purchases are automatically added to it. It is not a Smart Playlist that automatically picks up old purchases if you transfer the library to a new computer. You can easily drag-n-drop anything you want into the playlist, though.

Songs "missing" from playlist still in library
I've seen similar threads but my issue is slightly different. I do apologize if this is a duplicate post.
In many of my playlists, a song will now be marked as missing by an exclamation point. However, the song is still in the library and I can manually locate it. This is happening to too many songs (70 at last count) so it is a PIA to fix. Any ideas how to automate this? Suggestions on how to stop this from happening (this isn't the first time)?
I haven't moved any songs or made changes to song names or libraries. The songs are in the same place and when I click locate for the first missing song in the list, iTunes goes directly to the right folder. For each subsequent song, I've got to point iTunes.
Thanks!Not a Sony Vaio. I have one of the first iPods. It was a gift. It's not that songs disappear from the playlist in the iPod, but from playlists on the computer. They are in the music library and I have to copy and paste them back into the playlist I want them in. I haven't lost any from the music library, fortunately.
The playlists (I have a bunch of them) are blue with a music note. The songs in the playlists have checkmarks next to them, and are all checked. They just drop out of a playlist every now and again and I have to copy it back in. I can go for a while and think "hey, I haven't heard X in a long time". And sure enough it's dropped from the playlist in the computer, and I have to copy it back in from the library, then resynch the iPod. Really weird and mildly annoying. -
Odd... songs missing from iTunes, but still on my iPod
I came across an odd situation, where certain songs (burned and purchased) are listed in the iTunes library, but do not connect to a file on my PowerBook. I don't recall any situation where I would have accidentaly removed the files. For example, I might have songs from seven albums for an artist listed in the library, but only two of the album folders still exist in the iTunes Music Folder.
Although missing from the PowerBook, the song files are on my iPod. I feared that on the next sync, those files would be removed, as the PowerBook autosyncs and supposedly conforms the iPod to the iTunes library. But... no, the files have remained on the iPod through several syncs.
I can find a way to restore the purchased music (although the new purchased music sync on iTunes 7 didn't do it). I can't use my automated backups, because this situation seems to have been around for some weeks, without my awareness.
The problem started on iTunes 6, so it's not a quirk of iTunes 7 (which works fine for me so far).
PB G4 17/1.33 & PM G4 (Gigabit) w/Dual 1.4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)I seem yo have a similar problem, this is where I have purchased the songs via iTunes, and they are on my iPod but do not appear in my iTunes library, nor are they in the artists folders.
I have recently upgraded to the latest version of iTunes v7.0.1, and I have only experienced this problem since I upgraded.

I want to sync my ipod touch with a different itunes library. I plugged my ipod in the computer and my itunes started transferring my purchased items off of my ipod. I looked at my music and one song that I recently bought and downloaded on my ipod touch was missing. I tried syncing it again and nothing. I have tried to restart my computer and my ipod and nothing. I can't seem to get it to work. Any help?
iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer. For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

Ipod songs missing, Itunes unresponsive
A few days ago I went to add more songs to my Ipod, and Itunes would continually get an error message when loading and shut down. SO I switched over to 3rd party software, Anapod explorer, and it seemed to work pretty peachy. Anyways, my computer froze (its prone to doing this) and when I turned on my ipod I found a TON of songs were missing, even though Anapod and my computer would read the drive as being almost full (544 megs free). They should still BE there, shouldn't they? It also deleted all my playlists and the smart playlists like most played, etc. Meanwhile, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and I still get the same error message. Does anybody have any advice on how to recover my songs or get Itunes working properly again?
Well thanks for all the help

I successfully downloaded a song and listened to it on my iPhone. I hadn't, since, synced back up with my computer so it did not get copied back to my iTunes. I'm not sure when it went missing, but I downloaded it on Saturday. Yesterday (Monday) was when I noticed it was gone. I didn't do anything with my phone between those times other than a basic charge, not attached to my computer. At one point yesterday it was being a little goofy about recognizing service/coverage (which it still is) so I shut it down and restarted it, but I'm not sure if it was missing before then or not. What can I do to get my song back?
ETA: I'm not just overlooking the song - there is nothing in my downloaded songs section in the WiFi iTunes app, and I recently (before installing the 1.1.1 update) had to restore my phone using the iTunes restore function which cleared out all of my music. I hadn't had a chance to copy it all back over, so on Saturday night I had 1 song in my library (the downloaded one). Now I have zero, so it's not just like I'm not seeing it or something.Definitely contact the iTunes store.
As a general rule they will not allow for another download of a purchased song, but since all of this iPhone purchase stuff is so new I'm going to guess they will grant a lot of leeway in the beginning. Assuming you do get the song back don't forget to both back it up to your computer and back it up on writable media (because you cannot rely upon your hard drive, which will fail at some point).
