Downloaded songs & CDs jumping

Hi. I got a problem! When I import CDs or downloaded songs (not downloaded from iTunes store) in to my iTunes, they r jumping as if scratched when I play them back. This also happens when I play them back on windows media player. This only recently started happening. When I play the CDs on a normal CD player, they r fine. If I put the songs on my iPod will they still jump? Does anyone know how I can fix this? Please help Me!!! xxx

Hi again Ang1984,
I found a way to do it by browsing through the forum. It is apparently linked to the copyright protection system used on some CDs (Copy Controlled technology). You can try extracting the songs of your album (if Copy Controlled, see logo at back of box and on CD) onto your PC harddrive by using Windows Media Player. Once extracted, you can import this music into itunes directly from where you copied the previous files onto your PC (Add Folder to Library under Files). It should work better this way.
I hope it helps. Good luck.

I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes. Recently my itunes account changed and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds. How to transfer from ipod back to itunes? I don't have the cds anymore.

I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes. Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds. The songs are still on my ipod. I am affraid to sync now because the songs may be deleated, and I don't have the cds anymore. How can I transfer the songs from the cds on my ipod back to itunes so that I don't lose them?

What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not your "account." The "account" you have for iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use when purchasing or downloading from the iTunes Store. If these songs came from music CDs that you imported into iTunes, those songs are not related to your Apple ID.

How are they not "recognized"? Are the songs still listed in your iTunes music library, but grayed out? They no longer appear in your iTunes library at all?
If you search your computer (not in iTunes) for the song files, using one of the song names, can you find the song files?

I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

Hi skoorb1,
When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

Playing songs in library that were downloaded from CDs

When I try to play songs in the library that I have downloaded from CDs, I get the following message: "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" If I say "yes", then it leads me to the song in the the ITunes folder and it will play it from that file, but it will not play direct from the library without leading thru this process. This only happens with songs downloaded from CDs and not from songs purchased thru the Music Store. This problem also doesn't allow me to move those songs to a playlist. Any idea how to somehow get the Library to recognize these songs location??? Thanks for any help.

If you are not using iTunes Match, then you have to sync the songs to your iPhone. Please have a look into this one:

With iTunes Match (a paid 1-year-subscription) you can upload them into the iCloud and download them directly to the new iPhone.

How can I transfer songs I downloaded from cds to my phone

I downloaded songs from cds to my laptop, can't figure out how to install them on my phone

The same way you do any other music.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
All music must be synced using itunes. Put the music in itunes and sync to the iphone.
Look at the manual.

Because putting them onto the computer is a separate process.

Help please: iTunes will no longer play downloaded songs

ITunes will no longer play songs that I've downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It used to play them, but now it won't play them at all. It will play only songs in the library from my CDs. I only have these downloaded songs on one computer, the same as I've always had. I can see the files in the folder My Music/[artist]/[album]. I have QuickTime 6.5.2 and iTunes 4. I don't know of anything that's changed on my computer since the songs were working.
1) Is the problem that it's an old version of iTunes?
2) If I switch to a newer version, will I lose all my downloaded songs?
3) If the version of iTunes isn't the problem, any ideas about what could be wrong?
Please help! I've only had iTunes for a few months and have barely been able to use it. (I can't understand why it would become so outdated so quickly.) Thanks in advance!

Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
There are two things to try before you upgrade:

Downloaded songs suddenly lost

Having transferred downloaded songs from itunes onto my ipod, i find that they play for a few days, but then suddenly won't play at all until I reconnect my ipod to my computer again. This only affects all downloaded songs, tracks from imported cds still play as normal. Help! Thanks:)

Sounds like your iPod is resetting for some reason. It's 'losing' it's authorization. If syncing every couple days to your computer bugs you . . . you could try restoring Your Ipod to Factory Settings. If that doesn't fix it, you could just exchange it or return it to Apple for 'repair'.

My songs keep jumping can you help?

my songs keep jumping/skipping can you help me to resolve this please

I am having the same problem, too. I asked the Geek Squad at Best Buy and he said it was a problem with protected songs and that I needed to change how the song was converted. I tried that but I received an error message saying because it was a protected song I could not change the conversion. The Geek Squad told me if that didn't work to contact iTunes about possibly re-downloading the song at no charge since I have paid for it once. How do you contact iTunes and either speak with or correspond through support? All I can find is tutorials and discussion pages that are no help. I'm becoming so frustrated I'm about to take my ipod and get my money back!

Hown can I set up using a downloaded song for my ringertone

how can I use a downloaded song for my ringtone

You need to get the original set of discs that came with the Macbook Pro and reinstall the system software.
Insert the disc and hold down C while booting the machine. Eventually you will get a menu and you want to reinstall the system software.
The calendars were deleting because they were still attached to your husband's MobileMe/iCloud account. Reinstalling through the system software discs should not affect your husband's calendars and will allow a fresh shart for your son letting him set up his own account on the Mac.
If you do not have the set of CDs from that Macbook Pro you can get a new set from Apple for a nominal cost. DO NOT use the CDs that came with the new Macbook Pro. They are not compatible.

TS3297 I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my ipod

I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my touch. There were no error messages, and I see them fine on my touch. They get to a certain point in the song and jump to the next song.

Do they play ok on your computer's iTunes ? If they do then try deleting them from your iPod and then re-sync them back to it.
If they also don't play on your computer's iTunes, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload 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 same 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 those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Itunes has deleted my downloaded music. I still have my purchased songs in my library and I still have my downloaded music on my computer but the downloaded songs don't show up in my library. How do I fix this?

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.
