First song on albums won't play

The first song on all of my albums isn't playing. It hops to the second song. How do I correct this?
Thanks,
Jennifer

I am getting this as well. Haven't figured out why. I think it was the last update I did. If you keep selecting the song several times, eventually it does play, but it's frustrating.

TS2776 Iphone library syncing only first song per album

Help, My Iphone was wiped after multiple failed password entry attempts, the phone was protected by NSA level security software, and after adding a Survivor protective case, I was mistyping one of the didgets.I was able to restore my purchased apps from my iTunes purchase history, but all of my music, short of a few songs were imported from my hundreds of CD's. My husband has the same music on his phone, yet not quite as much, as his phone is a 32, while mine is a 64. Rather than take the hours of Homesharing the music to my iTunes, since we both use backup drives for out computers, I thought it much simpler to simply plug his Back up into my PC, and copy the Music file to my iTuned folder.Yeas... This was quite abit faster, and all of the music is avaiable to listen to on my PC via iTunes.
Ok, here is my issue, When I sinc my phone all of the artists, as well as albums show up on my phone, however only the first song per album is available to play via the phone, all other songs have a square within a circle to the right of the song title, as if it is in download mode.
I turned on automatic download over wifi, and even tried clicking on the links showing, they change to a circle, and then teturn to cntaining a square, Is there a way to fix this issue, or do I have to go CD by CD and manually import the music all over again, as it will be several days work.
I normally consider myself to be very good at solving computer issues, but this has me baffled, has anyone got an idea ?

I've been having the same problem after I restored my iPhone. It's been nearly 8 months since vaporwave first posted this question and, so far, it hasn't been addressed by Apple in an update. It's sad that we have to find a workaround for this issue, especially because it's not the ideal solution (checking each artist probably means I'll end up with all of their songs, including some that I don't want in my iPhone).

Nano scrolling through songs constantly. Won't play?

There was some kind of power surge yesterday while my nano was connected to the computer that shut off the electricity. I don't know if this caused this problem but now the nano is scrolling through all the songs constantly but won't play any of them. It also does not seem to do anything when I connect it to the computer. Doesn't update or charge. Help!!

Try reseting it and restoring first. But if that
doesn't work the power surge probly messed it up
pretty well so you should contact apple for some
repairs.
I've already tried resetting it twice and I am in the middle of restoring it but I'm afraid you might be right. Once I restore the nano and reconnect it to the computer, will the songs automatically re-update? It won't erase my library will it. I restored it on once computer and will plug it back into another.

One album won't play on my iPhone 4S

One album won't play on my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3. If select a song and click Play it flashes through the whole album with the play/pause button switching back and forth between play and pause - as though it played the whole album but all the songs were zero length.
I deleted all the songs in the album then re-synced from iTunes - same problem.
The tracks are Apple Lossless (ALAC) as are most of my tracks.
They were ripped from CD as FLAC and converted to ALAC using XLD - the same as with many of my CDs all of which play fine.
All the tracks on the album play OK in iTunes and if I connect my phone to PhoneView I can play the files on the phone so the music files themselves are OK.
Also, most importantly, these tracks used to play fine
Looking at the music file dates in the iTunes library they were imported in August this year so would have been under iOS6. I can't remember when they stopped playing (I tend to use Shuffle most of the time) but could it be related to the iOS7 u/g, even though it doesn't seem to affect any other album?
I've found quite a few threads about non-playing music but none of them are exactly this problem.

Appears to be only on the apple lossless tracks added mid november via Itunes sync.
Please help.
I too u/g to 7.0.4 but the problem persisted. I even did a factory reset and restore of my iPhone without success.
I then grabbed a copy of Max and re-converted the FLACs, deleted the album from iTunes and my phone, re-imported the new ALACs et voilà problem solved.
So it seems that it was something to do with the version of XLD I used and playing the resulting ALACs on iOS7 (although the album definitely played a couple of times under iOS6).
The only reason I rip to FLAC then convert to ALAC is that the rMBP doesn't have an optical drive and the only one I have is in a Linux box but I don't think there are any Linux rippers that rip to ALAC.
If Max had failed, the last resort would have been to try and borrow a USB optical drive and rip with iTunes.

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Certain albums won't play on Iphone but still play perfectly fine in Itunes

Since I updated my Iphone to IOS5, certain albums won't play. They work perfectly fine in Itunes on my imac and the still appear in my library on the Iphone, but it won't start playing. The strange thing is, they are all albums from this year. All the rest is working properly.
Allready tried importing the whole library again but that was a waste of time.

Having the same problem with only a few albums.
Any news on this issue?

I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

How did you do this move? Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
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 new location of the library.

I have little exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play how do I get them to play?, I have little exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play how do I get them to play?

I have exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play...how do I get them to play?

I am not an expert but here's my two cents:
The exclamation point means itunes cannot find the music file in order to play it. There are several possible reasons for this, including but not limited to changing the name or location of your music library/songs, or storing them on an external hard drive or device that is not currently attached. The solutions for these are different so let me know if any of these apply and we can troubleshoot.

Recently downloaded chris stapleton song and it won't play. what's up?

recently downloaded chris stapleton song and it won't play. what's up?

Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:

That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Some random songs/albums won't play on iPhone

I bought an album off of iTunes but after I synced my iPhone to my mac, the songs won't play on the iPhone. I did a spotlight search on the phone and it says they are on there but they won't play. I have my phone hooked up to my computer right now and it says i should have 1818 songs on the phone but in the phone's about section it says I only have 1773 songs. The unplayable songs range from being imported cd files to purchased songs from iTunes. I've tried restoring my phone, performing some disk utility stuff, reimporting my library on my mac, a lot of restarting and what not. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

I've had the exact same problem, and I think it's related to the iOS 4.2.1 update. Certain songs will simply not play on my iPhone after the 4.2.1 OS update, even though they work fine in iTunes. I've re-synced multiple times to no avail. The problem also happens with ringtones, which means I've missed a number of alarms because the ringtone I chose for the alarm no longer works on the iPhone!
I really hope Apple is planning to release a fix for this. It is incredibly frustrating.

Songs from Concert won't play in order

I purchased and downloaded a live concert. I can't get the ipod to play the songs in the order they should be played. They are fine in my main folder. But the ipod won't play them correctly. The concert was long enough to cover 3 cds. I created a playlist with just the first set songs and a second with the 2nd set songs and encores. They appear in the correct order in the playlist, but they won't play correctly when I select the playlist.

Is there anything systematic in the order in which the songs do play? For example, is it ignoring the fact that you may have two albums with the same name and similar track numbering and the only thing distinguishing them are the CD number?

TS1424 purchased album won't play after buying on iphone. How to fix?

I purchased an album from iTunes on my iPhone and when I go to play the album, it won't play and songs are skipped over until the album's complete. How do i fix? Should I get a refund and repurchase? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'd try redownloading it from the purchased section of the iTunes store first and see if that helps.

New iTunes album won't play on iPod

I just bought a new album from iTunes (The Decemberists "Long Live the King" EP), and it won't play on my iPod. It shows up there, and it plays in iTunes on my computer, but my iPod won't play any of the songs. Help?

Fixed. Deauthorized and reauthorized my computer, plus fiddled with where the files were stored. Something worked. Whew.
