Doesn't play all the music I downloaded!

I downloaded 243 songs to my iPod Shuffle and when I play it in my car only 106 shows up! Very aggrevated!! I have an iPod Touch and I've never had any trouble. The only reason I got the Shuffle is to be able to leave it in my car so I can play the iPod Touch in with me at work. Any ideas why this is happening?

Yes the Sync Entire Music is selected to where I can download selected playlists. I have an iPod Touch and I have never had any trouble with it and it will play my entire music that I've downloaded in my car. I'm not computer savvy but geez I know how to use it but not the Shuffle?? I don't understand. We went to the iPod store tonight and they gave me a new Shuffle. Well it's doing the same thing. The guy mentioned if I had the same user name on all the songs. At the time I thought I did until I got home and I had forgotten that I changed it from my husbands email address to my own and I do believe all my newer music which is in my email address is the ones that won't play. How do I fix this? Any ideas? Thanks!!!

HT1320 my ipod nano 4rd gen doesn't syn all the music fron Itunes library?? very frustation

My Ipod Nano 4th Gen. doesn't synch all the music from my Itunes Library??

Make sure all the songs in i-tunes are checked off (small box to the left of each song in the songs list), and click sync, or apply.

Can't get Itunes to play all the music in folder.

I have Vista and just put iTunes on it to use instead of Media Player. My problem is if I select more then 10 files to play or just hit the "Play All" button in the folder the files open in Media Player and not iTunes. These are .mp3 files which I have associated to iTunes. If I open a single file it opens in iTunes and I am not given a warning that iTunes is the default player. Can anyone help me figure out how to make iTunes play all the music I select without having to open it and import it each time. I have over 300 CDs on the computer and some times I just want to go to the folder in explorer and launch all the music from that CD.

I think you just need to figure out the tricks to getting the album you want up in iTunes. It is very easy actually.
First, if you turn on View Browser (you can't be in the cover flow view to see the browser) you get three windows at the top of your library: Genre, Artist, Album. When you pick anything from any of those windows, it immediately narrows down the library view to things that meet that choice (e.g. if you pick U2 then the library will only show tracks with Artist = U2.
In addition, those three boxes will narrow down to only show what fits with whatever you type in the search field. Meaning, normally if you have thousands of songs and hundreds of artists, scrolling through the little artist box to find that one artist or the album box to find that one album is kind of tedious. But say you want to listen to The Clash's "London Calling". In the search box you can just type in Clash or London (or both) and the three Browser boxes (and your library view) will quickly narrow down to only tracks where Clash and London appear. Likely the Album window will now only show a few choices. Click the "London Calling" one and your library now only shows that album. Now you can play just that album. Of course it sounds like more when you type it all out, but to open iTunes, type "Clash London" then click on the London Calling album takes all of about three seconds, likely quicker than it is to dig through folders in your hard drive.
Sorry, but I don't have any answers for your Windows association problem with trying to load more than 10 tracks, but I think you may find the above method to be much easier to navigate.

HT1391 My name is Rachel Bennett and all of my music from my I-Tunes were wipe clean form my computer and I do not have any back up files and all the music I download and pay for I do not have any more.My computer is a Vista

My name is Rachel Bennett and all of my music from I-Tunes store was wipe clean from my computer when after my computer caught a virus,so is their any way I'm going to be able to get my music download back to my computer.All the music that was lost I pay for.

For info we are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
What you can redownload for free will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Does music show as a category there ? Music can't be redownloaded in all countries, and if you've changed countries since buying it and/or or if it's no longer in your country's store then you won't be able to redownload it.
If music doesn't show there as a category then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

TS1362 Music doesn't play all the way through

I uploaded all my music i bought to my new laptop. I got them through the purchased and redownloaded them since my other computer wont start up anymore. I started to listen to them and some will play for 30 seconds and then switch songs or play three fours of the way through. What should i do?

I have this problem too, on loads of tracks. When watched in playback via itunes, some just stop half way along the playback bar. At other times they get all the way to the 'end', but this is actually before the end of the track. I have tried re-downloading the tracks from iTunes, but it won't let me. When I play them from the previously purchased button, it is even worse, it can cut a 3 minute track down to 1 minute.
Any help would be apreciated.

My iTunes doesn't have all the music that my iPod has. But when i sync my iPod it doesn' t put my music back onto my computer, how do i fix this?

So, I looked at my iTunes library and realized that i had a rather small amount of music on it, while i have a rather large amount of music on my iPod. I don't know where all my music went on my computer, and I have no clue how it isn't there. When I sync my iPod it doesn't transfer my music back or even give me the, "We found some music on your iPod that is no longer in your library, would you like to transfer these songs?"
I don't really know what to do, andy advice?

Never mind, the problem just fixed itself when i searched for an artist that wasn't there. That was odd.

I'tunes doesn't play all the song

The down load shows 5 minutes but plays 0:57 secs. The first 4 songs are comlpiet the rest 11 only the first 30-50 secconds?
Is it the down Load? A bad CD?
thanks

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click thePurchased 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.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Bought album from itunes, but one track doesn't play all the way through

Hi I bought No Place Like Home from Manoa DNA. All of the tracks playback except one, track 10 Ka Nohona Pili Kai/Nada Sou Sou. Through the song as it plays, when it gets to timestamp 1:05, it stops playing and plays track 11. After timestamp 1:05 doesnt finish playing the rest of the song. What do I do? Who do I contact for this problem to fix? I paid $9.99 for the whole album and one track isn't working. What is going on???

Delete the troublesome song from your library and download it again from your Purchased History. If the replacement download still has the same problem (rare, but it can happen if the original in the store is corrupt) use the report a problem link from your account history.

Itunes library doesn't show all the music on the ipod

Hello, My daughter's ipod version 6.1.6 shows that there should be 800 songs on her device. We plugged into the pc and the itunes menu showed this but when you go to the ipod itself and access the information that is on the ipod in the About section on the device it shows that it has only 197 songs on it. so what do i do to get the 800 back onto the ipod. thanks for the help

I just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling I must authorize this computer before it play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer.

I just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling me I must authorize this computer before it can play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer to play this music?
Thank you for any assistance.

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

My iTunes account says that it cannot locate the original file for all of my songs. My iPhone still has all the music and is able to play the songs, if I sync and backup my iphone will the songs be replaced with the empty copies from my itunes library?

So basically I tried to back up my itunes library to my external hard drive and when I followed the instructions and then went to play a song it said Orginal file cannot be found. It said that for all of the songs. I'm not sure how to fix what I did, I already tried consolidating and all of that stuff and it didn't locate the files. I'm guessing that I somehow deleted the original songs along the way. I synced my iPhone without knowing what I did and surprisingly all of the music is still on my phone. So now that I've completely screwed up my iTunes account, I need to know how to get all my music back onto my iTunes account and have that library only on my external hard drive, not my computer. Everything looks fine on my iTunes besides the fact that it cannot locate the files but what I'm afraid of is me syncing and backing up my iPhone and then being left with no music because it syncs to the empty songs. How can I fix this? and if I can't fix my iTunes library is there anyway for me to still be able to backup my iphone and all the music on it, without erasing my music?

Well I'm not sure if I correctly backed up my itunes library because when trying to open itunes from that back up it keeps saying original file not found. Okay this is going to sound confusing but bear with me. I "backed up" my itunes, meaning I just dragged and dropped the iTunes folder into my external hardrive, and then I changed the destination on iTunes to open from my external hardrive. It was working fine when I did that, however I did that just on my own, I didn't know about consolidating the files or any of that so I hadn't done that before copying the folder to my external hard drive. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I deleted the iTunes folder after I had copied it to my external hardrive. So I did that and it was working fine, I was able to open my itunes with my external hardrive. BUT yesterday I thought that I hadn't done it correctly because I didn't consolidate the files and all that, so I wanted to be more thorough and do that, I followed the steps to do that but when I did that I think it got all the files from my computer and not from my external hard drive so it basically didn't find anything on my computer because I had deleted them. And like an idiot, I replaced the iTunes folder on my external hard drive (the one I did correctly the first time), with the one I did wrong. So I believe I pretty much deleted all the music files from both my external hard drive and my computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong?
I believe getting all my music back on my itunes is a lost cause. BUT I still have all my songs and stuff on my iPhone. My question is, if I plug my phone into my computer and sync it, will it erase all my songs from my phone? A little more info, my iTunes still has the names and stuff of all my songs, they just can't be played because the files are missing, my iPhone doesn't need to erase and sync when I plug in my phone because it's already synced to my computer. What I'm afraid of is when I plug in my phone to backup and sync, will it erase my music because it can't find the files on my computer or external hard drive anymore? Or will it just leave the songs because they're already there (on my phone) and only sync the new songs that I've downloaded? I just need to know is my iTunes still going to be functional as far as me being able to backup my phone?
I have a lot of songs purchased from iTunes but a lot (like 60%) are from CDs that I no longer have. So re-downloading my music would only account for 40% of my library.

HT4527 I just had to clear the hard drive on my computer - now I want to transfer all the music and pictures from my ipad back onto my computer. 'Sync' doesn't do it. What do I do?

I had toclear the hard drive of my computer and reinstall Windows 7. Now I want to transfer all the music and photos from my iPad back onto my computer. I authorized the computer (it is the ONLY computer authorized on this account - and this is the ONLY account on this iPad). ITunes then downloaded my purchases...or at least it tried - out of the hundreds of tracks I have purchased, it managed one album that I bought over a year ago and NOTHING else. So I tried to Sync - since on older versions of iTunes (that were SO MUCH MORE user friendly) that would do the job -transferring things that were only on the iPad onto the computer and vice versa. It doesn't do that anymore. So I went from my iPad's summary to the Music tab - the box for Music was not checked but when I checked it said the only thing it could do was erase EVERYTHING from my iPad and replace it with what was on my computer (that ONE album). What is going on?
Why hasn't iTunes downloaded my other purchases since I authorized the computer? (there are over 3,000 tracks...not 18)
How can I download my iPad to my computer?

-Me again - it also won't upload the few new pictures I have on the computer onto the iPad without deleting all the photos that are already there....

TS1362 All purchases within the past 2/3 weeks do not play all the way through either on Ipod or computer -anyone know how to fix? Itunes 10.6 has been downloaded

I am trying to transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac; however, all that transfers is the music I downloaded from itunes. It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's.

How do I transfer my itunes library from my old Mac to my new Mac? When I try all that transfers is what I downloaded from Itunes. It does not transfer the music I downloaded from my cd's/.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

2011 Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information, particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick solution above. Unfortunately it uses the single term "transferring library" for two very different moves; relocating just your media (not recommended unless you really need this configuration) and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac. All the music is still available on my ipad. How can i download the music on my mac?

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Doesn't play all the music I downloaded!
