Corrupted song file downloaded

I've had, I think, my first problem with downloading a song from iTunes music store. The last song on the album is currupted, for lack of better words. Plays like any other itunes song, but literally skips, just like the old albums I used to listen to. Initially I thought the mac was being stressed/overutilized and resources were thin, so I closed down all programs and tried again. Same exact thing, same place/time.
I forgot about that song until this week when I played it again and exact problem happened again. Its only this one song.
Is there a way to get a song that appears to have been corrupted on download re-downloaded without having to pay for it again?
Thanks

Tell the iTMS about the corrupted song using the form on this page.
Usually they will either refund or tell you when the corrected track is available for download again (if the file indeed is corrupted).
Hope this helps.

  • WRT54GS v1 Corrupting large file downloads - how to fix?

    I have a two week old WRT54GS v1 (firmware 1.0.02) that appears to be corrupting file downloads of more than 2 or 3 Gb, more specifically program installation downloads.
    When downloading, the files appear to arrive properly according to their file sizes.  However, in both instances I've experienced this week with installation packages from different sources, the installation would fail with either Error 2350 or Error 11FD.  (file corruption errors)
    If I take the router out of the loop by connecting the desktop directly to the cable modem, the packages come through without error.
    It has been suggested that this has something to do with a broken transmission or filter issue caused by the NAT hardware firewall (I don't have a clue what that means)
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    You should try to upgrade your router's firmware, reset and re-configure it...
    Download Firmware 1.7 MB...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    After re-configuring the router, observe the connection and see if it corrects your problem...

  • How do you get a corrupted song file from iTunes to be fixed by them so I can download the song?

    I have tried to download a song several times and everytime I do I get a message saying that the file is corrupted.  Since, you cannot seem to report anything to Apple or iTunes, has anyone else had this problem and have you successfully resolved it?

    You should be able to use the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

  • Corrupt Song Files

    Alright, so I've downloaded two songs from iTunes in the past month that have been corrupt. What's up with that? The songs download fine and then will cut off at certain points.
    One was Switchfoot - Dare You to Move, which cut off at .37 seconds.
    The second was Darling Violetta - Smaller God, which cut off with four seconds to spare and started off with such a messed up audio that it was almost painful to listen to.
    If it happens once, I'm willing to forgive iTunes for the mistake, but twice? That bothers me.
    Is something wrong with the version I'm using? My laptop?
    Note: My laptop is new. I got it in August of 2011. It is a Windows Dell Vostro using Windows 7. I couldn't tell you much else.

    have you tried just removing the sound files that arent being played on your ipod, then turn the ipod off, and back on again and try videos, a corrupt or incompatible track will generaly just skip past, but i see no reason why it would affect the video playback of sperate files

  • Corrupted song files within itunes not playing - can I get them back?

    I'm having a few problems with upgrading from iphone3 to iphone5 - end result is only 85 out of 230 music files are now on the new iphone5. The rest exist on the old phone but only as a link/data file and cannot be played.
    Is there a way to claim these back from itunes?
    If they have been bought there, surely I must be able to re-download them?
    Any help would be great - cheers

  • Corrupted Music Files (Downloaded)

    Hi. I just downloaded an album from iTunes, but 2 of the tracks are showing an exclamation mark before the song's name and I`m unable to play the tracks. How can I re-download those tracks? Thank You!!

    A useful reference on service scope:
    "Once you purchase a subscription to iTunes Match, you can merge all your music into a single Apple ID by re-downloading tracks, and on top of that, you can stream it to ten different devices. It only works for music—you can’t do this for mobile apps, videos, podcasts, or any number of other iTunes Store purchases—but it’s a nice start."

  • ITunes match corrupt song downloads

    Hi, I am not sure if anyone has noticed anything similar but like many I have recently used iTunes match to clean up my library and consolidate my songs ripped from CD's and/or downloaded from Amazon/Play.com etc into similar quality.  In doing so I had about a 75% match rate and for these tracks I decided to download the higher bit rate versions from iTunes.  While all appeared to download fine, many of the files appear to be corrupted in that they seem to stop half way through the song.
    Now to fix this I have deleted the local file an re-downloaded a new copy (sometimes having to follow this process twice and even three times to get a working version).  The only evidence that there seems to be something not right with the file is the file size is smaller but with having no basis for comparison the only way I have found to check the songs is buy playing through each one and skipping to the end of the track to see if there is anything there.
    Has anyone else found a similar issue and if so, any easier way of scanning for corrupt song files?  So far I have scanned 600 'matched' songs and found 30 errors.  One CD which had almost half the songs with errors was Billy Idol's Charmed Life if anyone else has it and may want to check.

    I would try one other test -- assuming you still have the original files, delete those 30 problematic files from iCloud, then import your original source files into the new library and then re-do the matching / delete local / download process again.  In other words, now you're testing the entire process from start to finish with this new library, just to see the results.  My guess is that you'll have the same problem, but at least this eliminates the library itself as a factor.
    And assuming it's still a problem, then I'm not sure.  I always figured that once the songs were Matched, they should be pristine at least on their end.  but it's actually possible that these 30 tracks are in fact corrupt on the iTunes server end.  I wish I had these songs to test, just to give you a 2nd tester to confirm if I saw the same issues.   Other than that, if you had a different system or a different location you can test, you could at least eliminate hardware / OS as a factor.
    And @carlton -- yeah, it was just a bad day yesterday.  Going over the TOS I see what happened and how things were perceived.  I just wish there was a way to give Apple more active feedback other than the feedback URL or chatting with an L1 rep.  Hopefully they are reading this board and making notes.  

  • How can I import mpeg files downloaded into itunes?

    How can I import mpeg song files downloaded into itunes?

    Where are your MPEG stored?
    I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

  • 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.

  • TS1424 corrupted file downloading iTunes purchase

    I was downloading a purchase from the iTunes store and one of the songs stopped downloading in the middle with the error message that the song was corrupted. The same thing happened after following the direction to "Check for Available Downloads."
    Any thoughts?

    Try deleting the problematic tune (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 on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • HT1725 i recently downloaded an album from itunes but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i try to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what but what action should i take to repair the files or get my money back?

    i recently downloaded an album from itunes and from what it appeared, everything completely downloaded, but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i want to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what. what actions should i take to either repair the files or get my money back from itunes?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & 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 unchecked.
    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.

  • Attempting to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (using an ancient Mac OS 10.3), but received an error message (corrupt image file) when downloading - any way to correct this with my current OS?

    I'm currently trying to update a few programs on my good old (VERY old) Mac Powerbook, but I ran into an error when downloading Firefox version 3.6...I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.3.9, which isn't compatible with the most recent versions of Firefox (or anything, for that matter), but it should still allow an upgrade of version 3.6; however, once the file finished downloading, an error message popped up indicating there's a corrupt image file. Is there any way to work around/correct this problem, or am I stuck with my old version of Firefox until I bite the bullet and upgrade my OS??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

  • Web Pages and file download corruption Cisco VPN

    We have a problem our users are having. Clients are having problems using Cisco 5.06 VPN along with Internet Explorer. Quite often web pages hang or load incorrectly or unformatted. Also links to documents or downloads are downloaded unusable (i.e. a PDF file that is corrupt). If you refresh the page or retry the download it will work eventually. None of these problems exist while they are directly on the corporate network. (Win7 32-bit OS)
    Our standard corporate VPN installation package uses Cisco VPN 5.0.06.0160 which installs version 3.22.4.17992 of DNE (Deterministic Network Enhancer), It also installs the DNE Update version 4.9.1.1837. This combination works correctly in our standard corporate build. The problem exists in two of non-standard builds on a couple different hardware models.
    If I uninstall the DNE update and the VPN client and just install the VPN client by itself without the DNE Update (which leaves the client at 3.22.4.17992 for DNE) the problem goes away and the web pages load correctly and the files download properly.
    I have tried the latest DNE, and updates to the NIC driver without success. Any suggestions or logic to why the newer versions of DNE will not work.

    I would leave it alone for the next few days and do not keep restarting the Homehub. This will cause DLM (Dynamic Line Management) to kick in and lower your speeds because it will interpret the restarts as a fault. It is normal for the speeds to fluctuate during the training period. If things do not improve after the ten day training period post back for more advice.

    When I thing of the Thousands of dollars I have spent to get a 2000 song library and how Applle keeps screwing Windows users (no back-up of songs) I just think what a fool I was.

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?
