Half the songs on the album I purchased from I Tunes do not play from iTunes or on my ipod. How can I correct them?

I purchased an album yesterday- less than half the songs play from iTunes or on my ipod- I can't re-download to try to fix- only repurchase and risk a repeat of the problem. Any way to "activate" the "blank" songs that iTunes seems to just skip? They show up with full info as if they were there

Welcome to the Apple community.
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.

Your purchases won't automatically show in your new Mac's iTunes library. If you go into iTunes > Preferences and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' then what you can redownload should show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against them - click on the cloud to download them. Or click on your name towards the top right of iTunes and then click Purchased on the popup, and you can redownload them from there.
If you've moved countries since buying the music, or if the rights-holders have removed them from the store, then you won't be able to redownload them. In that case if you still have your old computer then you could copy them over from that (e.g. via an external drive : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support or via home sharing), or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them via File > Add Too Library

Hey Ryan, When you looked at Get Info as Illaass instructed did you compare all the info listed in iTunes Get Info on the computer's copy? When you looked at the song(s) that are separated, do they list anything different like a featured artist? Or a different composer / song writer? Sometimes that will trick the the software into thinking it is 2 different albums. Make the info about the album and artist match, then sync to your iPod. The songs should go back where they belong on your iPod. Good luck. Cheers.

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT201272 iPhone 5 - I've downloaded and backed up ringtones etc to my pc but they've disappeared from my phone. When I connect my phone to pc they show in the tones but they don't show as previously downloaded when I go to iTunes in my phone. How can I ge

I've read the 'How to re-download' article but it doesn't address my problem. They just aren't showing either as purchased or downloaded on my iPhone...but if I connect my iPhone to my PC and select Tones from the dropdown list, they are all there. How can I get them to show on my phone or why don't they show...??
I tried to re-download one of them and I got a message saying..."you've purchased this before, do you want to purchase again?"
does anyone have an answers...??

When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps!

HT202390 In the iTunes U App I have several courses that I wish to unsubscribe. This courses are not present in iTunes on my Macbook. How can I unsubscribe from this courses?

iPad Mini 2 - iOS 8.1.3
When I've opened iTunes U for the first time it started to synchronise some courses. Some of them are old courses that probably I subscribed from my Mac in the past and that are no more present in my Mac.
I've tried to sync iTunes U in iTunes but these old courses still are present on iPad Mini.
How can I remove them from the iPad?

Courses have to be deleted / unsubscribed from individual devices. (I believe this is to avoid personal data loss, such as course notes and such.)
If you really want to remove the course, follow these steps on your iPad:
Go to the course list
Tap "All Courses" at the top (if you have a teacher-enabled account)
Drag the list down until the Edit button appears
Tap Edit
Select the courses you want to remove
Tap Delete
Does that help?

Purchased Movies (with Extras) will not Play in iTunes

So I have OS 10.7.4 and the most current version of iTunes. Lately, my purchased movies will not play in iTunes. When I double click on them, it goes to play them, but just freezes on a black screen as if paused. When I hit play, it flashes immediately back to pause. The chapters are all there (with the corresponding clip from that chapter of the movie). Ironically, these play fine on our aTV and iDevices where chapters/extras aren't used--this is only a problem on the computer playing through iTunes. The actual files are present and, as mentioned, they sync just fine to the iPads, etc. Any thoughts on why this is happening? Sometimes it would be nice to play them on the computer itself.
Yes the computer is authorized (and I deauthorized then reauthorized it). I've "Consolidated Library" and "Checked for Available Downloads". Also non iTunes purchased movies (those from DVD's I own) ripped in Handbrake work just fine and play. Also OLDER purchases without the Chapter screen play just fine.
Thanks,
Kevin

TS1424 all of the songs in an album I purchased on iTunes are cut short by roughly 20-30 seconds. How do I fix this?

Purchased an album from iTunes and most of the songs were not downloaded properly. Songs play until 20-30 seconds left and then prematurely switch to the next track. Not sure how to remedy this issue because downloading them a second time didn't fix the problem. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated

Missing a few songs off of every album on my iphone 5. The songs info still displays but is greyed out and will not play. after selecting it on my phone it will then sync in itunes.

I could go through all the albums on my phone and tap each song then re-sync but that would take forever. is there an easy solution to this. It happened after i updated Itunes to 11.1.1. All the music info is there on my iphone 5 but the music is gone. after I try to play it it turns grey and a square with a circle surrounding it appears next to the song title. When I next sync my phone that song or songs I tried to play will finally sync with my phone. How do I fix this?

Ok after reading a few posts I relalise you can not down grade os on iphones and never have been able to.
But how come I can't factory reset my phone properly? sure factory reset will mean it will reset the phone and its os to the os that it built with with was ios5?

New update deleted all of my lecture notes and wouldn't restore recent backup. How can I download them from the cloud to my iPad? (not at my computer right now)

(It's fifteen minutes before class starts)
I tried to back up all of my devices before making the update to 7.0.6.
My iPad was ejected and iTunes told me that it couldn't be updated due to some error (this was yesterday). Then when I plugged it back in, it said I needed to restore my iPad, and I couldn't get to the home screen or anything, it just showed a "Connect to iTunes" icon. So it restored a really early version (with notes from last semester but not from this semester), even though I'm sure I've backed it up at least twice since I got it (1-13-14).
I got onto the Cloud and downloaded some important lecture notes before performing the update just to make sure that they would all be up to date, but those are on my computer, which I am currently not at, so I can't download them. I saw that my iPad was syncing with my Cloud, so my college notes were all showing up, and I didn't stick around to make sure that the current ones showed up (but they're on my cloud, so wouldn't they?).
Also, I use Branchfire's iAnnotate PDF, and all of my highlighted articles for research papers and summaries are gone. I'm missing important articles that had notes for two seminars, and they're all gone. I'm confident I can recover things from the cloud, but iAnnotate doesn't use the cloud. Is there a way to find those again?
What I'm curious about right now is if there's a way to download from the Cloud to my iPad, because that's where my notes are.
Does the cloud sync FROM my iPad? As in, if it isn't on my iPad will it delete documents from my Cloud? Or if it's in the Cloud, will it sync to my iPad if it's absent here?
This is really frustrating, especially because I TRIED to back everything up just to be safe. I tried everything, and I still lost all of my important files. This is beyond frustrating, it's devastating. This is unacceptable.

There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here.
To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store.
Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
Hope this helps.

HT204053 My iPhone is set up with my old iCloud details. I can't remember the password, it is an old email address and it is not recognising my date of birth!! How can I delete it from my phone and enter my new Apple ID?

My iPhone is set up with my old iCloud details - how do I change it to my new Apple ID - my email has changed. I can't remember old password and it's not recognising my date of birth. I no longer have the trusted device or key thing??

Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
