Downloaded music skips

Help from someone about this issue would be greatly appreciated.
I have downloaded a couple albums (the latest being Ellie Gouldings 'Live iTunes festival' album" and tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 all play about 30 seconds and then SKIP to the next song on the list. I have deleted the songs from my library, RE downloaded them from the purchases page and still the same thing is happening.
I do have the latest itunes software update. Not sure what else I can do. Thoughts? Anyone else having the problem?

Try again. While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

After new download music skips

I downloaded the 7.0.2 update and now the songs in my library skip. It's like listening to an old record. Any ideas on how I can fix it? Thank you.

If nothing works for you...this fixed my skipping issues:
Close iTunes. Go to your Control Panel, go into the QuickTime settings, click Audio, and set your audio settings to the following:
Rate: 192 kHz
Size: 24 bit
Channels: 5.1
Even if you don't have a 5.1 surround sound system...it still works. For some reason, changing my settings to this completely got rid of my skipping issues. Before, I would have iTunes skip every 5 seconds with nothing else running and internet disconnected. Now, it plays flawlessly.

I just plugged in my Iphone after 4 weeks of downloading music and adding contacts around 400 to be excact and it whipped all my data out and I have no photos nothing reset to factory defult and I cannot even listen to music I purchased because it skips

I just plugged in my Iphone after 4 weeks of downloading music and adding contacts around 400 to be excact. When I plugged it in my computer it started to sync with iTunes and it whipped all my data out. I have no photos contacts nothing, so I then in a rage reset to factory defult and I cannot even listen to music I purchased because it skips. I just want my phone back

Was this the very first time you ever plugged the phone into that computer?
Did you pay attention to the prompts you were given when you plugged it in?
Did you have iCloud backups turned on before you did this? I hope so... If you did, restore the phone from the last iCloud backup from before you wiped it. If not, then the photos, etc. are gone. Apps and music can be re-downloaded.

Why when playing downloaded music on apple tv through my distributed audio, it sometimes skips like a scratched record or just stops (in pause mode and won't play again) and yet i have full bars on the wireless in home service from the mac to the appletv?

Why when playing downloaded music on my mac through my appletv (I have distributed audio so play it through speakers not actually on the television), which is sent wireless from mac to the apple tv, does the music sometimes skip like a scratched record or stop playing (in pause mode) altogether and won't start again when I hit play? I have full bars on the wireless icon. Anyone experience this?

Full bars don't tell the whole story. These issues usually stem from interference, use istumbler to verify

I have iTunes and am downloading Music videos from YouTube for use on my iPad! They play great on my iPad, But when I play them on my PC in iTunes they skip like a rapid fire machine gun??? Can anybody help me

I have iTunes and I am downloading Music Videos from YouYube to be used on my iPad! After I download them using YTD Video downloader they play great on my iPad... However when I try to play them on my PC in iTunes they skip like a rapid fire Machine Gun! Can anybody help???

You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

I recently downloaded music from the iTunes store but it doesn't play on my iPod

I recently downloaded music through the iTunes store and synched it manually to my iPod nano (5th generation) and while it shows up on my iPod when I scroll through my list of artists/songs/albums it will not play any sound if selected and will not play through at all. At the very best all it will do is skip ahead 1 to 2 songs. What do I need to do?
I think it's also worth noting that the songs work on my other devices (laptop and iPad mini) absolutely fine with zero issues.

I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

PLEASE HELP - MORE & MORE MUSIC SKIPPING!

I started with a small problem a year ago and now more and more music skips - I update as offered so I have the lastest version all the time. Can you help?

Hi iwahdn,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It can be frustrating when files go missing. You may want to follow the steps in this article to verify that the music files are still on your computer:

If the music is in the iTunes Media folder on your computer, but not in your library, the iTunes library might need to be re-created:

Problems with downloading music files from particular websites

Has anyone else had problems using the Calabash or Afropop websites to download music files? I am able to download using Tiger on my MacBook Pro but each time I try the same with Leopard on my iMac, I get a message that the file does not exist. However, I am able to download music files from other sites like Music for Robots so I am not sure if there is something wrong with the sites themselves?

The files are definitely corrupted because they skip and have areas that sound like the file bits are jumbled. I verified this on two different computers. Dragging the same song straight from the server to the computer or streaming it the songs
play fine. I also had trouble with the same hard drives corrupting music and pictures when I had the raid tower in Raid 0. I have since put the drives in clean mode and reformatted full to NTFS. The Raid tower is a TR4UTBPN with two WD 1.5tb
7200 drives. I am running them in USB 3.0 mode with supplied turbo USB software to super speed the tower. My pictures when they corrupt have solid color banding all through the middle. I may try making a folder on one of the internal server
drives and try downloading and see if they are corrupt as well. when I say it corrupted the files before I mean you couldn't stream them copy them or look at them on the server without them being corrupted. Any thoughts?

You can't download music through anything other than the iTunes store or by syncing music that you have on your computer that is placed into iTunes. Once the music is in iTunes, you can sync it to the phone.

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:

itunes has removed my downloaded music from my library. I still have all of my purchased songs and videos but the downloaded songs are missing. I still have the downloaded songs on my cpu just not in my itunes library anymore. How do I get these songs back in my itunes library?

Copy them from the other user account you were logged in with to your own account. Or if you are using iTunes 10.3 or later and live in the use, redownload them via iCloud beta. See this article for more information.
