Help!  iTunes imports every other song?!

Ok, I got a newer ipod for my husband and i've installed all of the software and the iTunes is importing the songs, but when I check them in the library they are 758:57. They do not play, it skips over them. I didn't have this problem with my mini when I got it. I've tried 4 different cds from different labels and they're all doing that. I've also reset the ipod, and uninstalled and reinstalled the software. What should I do next?

I am having a similar problem. If I use the automatic import function or the manual import function, only the odd tracks will record. Is this your same problem?

  • My wife's new iphone4 (a replacement for a 5 month-old iphone 4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device in the house using that computer and Apple ID is. Any suggestions?

    My wife's brand new iphone4 (which was a replacement for a 4month-old iphone4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device on  the computer/Apple ID in question is recognized and syncs perfectly. Any suggestions?

    If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
    You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

  • HT1339 I have an ipod classic.  I have approx. 2000 songs on it.  WHen I move the settings to shuffle all music, the music stops in the middle of the song and moves on to the next one.  It happens every other song or so.

    I have an Ipod classic 120gb.  I have approximately 2000 songs on it.  When I put it on shuffle to play it, it stops in the middle of songs and moves to the next.  This happens every other two songs or so.  Please help!

    Try playing the song again and if it does it in the same spot on both your ipod and itunes then you have a corrupted file. You need to re-download the song. Don't worry, this is free if you bought it on iTunes. First, verify that you did buy the song on iTunes and not anywhere else. Go to the iTunes store. On the right hand side of the window there is a column named quick links. Look for "Purchased" about 2/3 of the way down. Click on it. The next window that shows up should show you all the tunes you have bought. Find your tune and you'll see that is says "downloaded." Now you know you have the tune.
    Now go back to your music library on the left hand column of the window. Click on Music. Find that tune that is giving you the problem. Delete the song.
    Now go back to the iTunes store like before and go back to your "purchased" list. The page needs to be reloaded Press the back button and then click "purchased" again on iTunes so the list reloads. Find your tune again. Now instead of it saying "Downloaded," it has a picture of a cloud with an arrow pointing down. Click on it and the tune will download again with, I hope, no problems. I hope this helps.

  • Itunes duplicates every single song

    A week ago I reinstalled the operating system on my computer, took the music from my ipod and placed it on my desktop. Then I downloaded iTunes and it automatically imported every piece of music on the computer. OK, I thought, but then it turned out Itunes had duplicated every single song, so now there's not 2000 songs, but 4000 on it! ***! desperately need some guidance. Thanks in advance!

    Maybe you need to turn this setting off:

    It prob copied everything from your desktop to the iTUnes music folder shown in itunes prefrences.

  • Please help trouble importing and editing songs

    i recently lost my itunes library file, then had trouble re-installing itunes after another problem, and now am having a new problem as i am attempting to re-add everything to my itunes library.
    i have noticed some files are (seemingly at random) not being added to my library. other songs from the same album, folder, etc are being added as normal, (they are all in mp3 format)but others are just not showing up in the library.
    when i tried to drag these files from my folder in windows explorer to itunes, i got the little crossed out circle icon informing me they could not be added. as stated, they are in a compatible format.
    with a bit of fiddling about i discovered that if i renamed these files the could be added. but some of these such files do not allow me to edit the information anymore. (when i right click i just see options such as open with, add to windows media player list, etc) but not options to rename or even copy, paste, delete, etc.
    any idea what might be going on? this is very strange and extremely frustrating. until the past few weeks i have been so happy with the performance of itunes but it has been absolutely nothing but trouble lately.

    I don't have any sure-fire solutions, but I do have a suggestion: rather than opening the whole CS6 project and going through the whole conversion process, try importing just the sequence(s) from the CS6 project into a new CC project. There are a couple of ways to do so: 1) File>Import, select "Import Selected Sequences," then pick the desired ones, or 2) drill down to the project in Media Browser, which will show you it's contents, then drag and drop the sequence(s) into the Project panel.
    I found a few bug reports in the same neighborhood. They were all fixed in the release you're using. But each was specific to a particular file type, so you may have hit on a case that we didn't exercise. It could really help us nail this down if you provided one small clip that CC is balking at and, ideally, a CS6 project containing that clip.

  • Can anyone help me import over 3000 songs into iTunes?

    I can't "find" over three thousand songs on  my computer and back-up hard drive.  When I open my library it lists many songs but there are exclamtion points next to most.  I fiirst tried Apple support common problems and none of the remedies solved my proble.  I am not even sure how many iTunes files I have between my laptop and back-up hard drive.  Sure could use some help?  When I try to play a song from the libaray with an excalmation point it offeres the opotion to find the location.  I of course can do this but it will take me for ever to do one song at a time.  Thanks.

    Uga, this is a link from Scott Patrie in the iTunes for Windows forum that I think may help resolve the poor sound issue.

  • Sound drops in iTunes every other song for all speakers when a remote speaker is being used

    Ever since I've run the most recent update for Mountain Lion, Whenever I play any songs from iTunes, and one of my remote speakers is being used by Airplay, the sound volume drops as if muted for all speaker sets that are active, even for the computer speakers.  All I have to do to fix it temporarily is to hit the pause button, then play again and the sound comes back...for about one or two songs, then the same thing happens.  If I only run my computer speakers, the volume stays with no problems.
    Any Ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • Batch delete every other songs

    Every song has a duplicate listed below it in my itunes library. How can I delete each one without clicking each duplicate, one at a time. Is the a way to program an assigned task to do this automatically, BATCH,so I don't have to do the laborious task of doing each one individually, one at a time? Thanks.

    YOu might try recreating your library and see if that clears it up...

    They are still in iTunes on your computer..
    unless you deleted them.
    When I upgraded to an iPhone 5S,
    When you first started up your iPhone 5S, did you Restore from backup and select the iPhone 4 backup?
    This will put all the info that was on the iPhone 4, onto the iPhone 5S.

  • Help -- iTunes recognizing only purchased songs

    I recently moved my iTunes library to an external hard drive.  All appeared to be well until I got a new computer.  Now when I open iTunes, I see only about 100 of 1500 songs.  These are all "Purchased AAC audio files". 
    All of the music files are still resident on the external drive and can be accessed without problem independent of iTunes.
    I did not change any settings, so I'm not sure what's happened.
    Can anyone assist?  I'm running Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8.
    Thanks!!

    Well why is it that it was able to sync with my iphone? Also, I just got done making an ipod version from under the Advanced menu and tried syncing that one to the ipod, all it says is that it wasn't transferred because it cannot be played on the ipod. i really don't understand what could be wrong.

  • How can I access all my music when NOT connected to internet? I feet a few of the new ones I purchased but every other song is in grey mode. Meaning they won't play

    How can I access all my music when NOT connected to the internet? I find that the playlists are all grey and the newest bought are the only black ones there fore the only ones playable. How can I access them all with only battery power?

    Nevermind...I did what it said to do in the article and it worked!

  • ITunes keeps saying a song is not authorized to play??

    I just bought an album on iTunes (same account I always use, the only one computer I have), and for some reason only ONE of the songs is telling me "This song is not authorized to play on your computer." I tried typing in my info to see if that would work, but it didn't, it said this computer is already authorized (which I already knew, because every other song on my iTunes plays, including all the other songs on this particular album). I followed all the tips on the support website for this particular issue and nothing worked. I also went into my account, deauthorized all the computers (my old computers that I don't have anymore were still on there), then reauthorized this one, and still no luck. How do I get this song to play?! So frustrating!

    Nevermind, I decided to delete the file and went to re-buy it. The store prompted me to download it for free since I had already purchased it, so I re-downloaded, and the new file is playing. Whew!

  • My ipod keeps on freezing with every two songs.

    my ipod keeps on freezing.i have read the other post but mine is different.recently every time i listen to my ipod it keeps on freezeing on the song list with every other song as in one song would work..the3n the next it would freeze and nothing can unfreeze the screen.i tried resetting the ipod and it happens again and again.does anyone know how i can fix my ipod so that i dont have to resent it everytime it freezes like every 5 mins?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Help, iTunes error 2001, iPhone stuck on Apple logo!

    HELP!!!!!!! THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE.
    Okay, so recently I accidentally dropped my phone in the toilet (it was an accident, slipped out of my butt pocket as I was pulling my jeans down) and then did the rice trick and whatnot. After two days, I tried to turn it on again and it wouldn't work. Then, i plugged it into the recharger and MIRACLE OF MIRACLES the apple logo flashed! Then nothing more happened, it kept flashing on and off, and wouldn't respond to any buttons. So then I connected it to my macbook, and iTunes popped up saying that it'd detected an iPhone in recovery mode. however, to restore it I would have to download the newest iPhone software but I didn't have the ability to do that just yet so I unconnected it.
    Now today i was finally able to download the software, but everytime I connected my iphone to mac itunes never picked it up. Eventually, following the advice of everyone on the internet, I 'put it into DFU mode' or something, (im not sure what I did, once I got a black screen that was still detected by itunes, and every other time i've got the itunes logo and a charger symbol).
    Then i got really excited, followed all the onscreen prompts, until it finally said waiting for iPhone and then ERROR 2001 APPEARS! Further more, the iPhone isn't even called what I called it, but called iPhone, 'iPhone'. I've tried restarting everything, trying different ports, but nothings working, every time I just get to error 2001!
    So i would really appreciate it if someone could help me! I don't care about losing files or anything, i just want it functional again.

    Hi there, I had a very similar problem to yours. I ended up getting my iPhone 3GS quite wet. On top of that, some of my casing is broken (near the power button), so a lot of water got inside.
    At first, there were a lot of changes to the screen, and eventually the phone simply died. It just wouldn't turn on. And then all of a sudden, the same day, it randomly switched on, and i could hear some 'sizzling' sound inside. Following this, it just kept rebooting.
    At this point, I unscrewed the screws at the bottom and opened up the phone (but didn't disconnect anything). Instead of using the rice trick/silica gel etc, I just placed a fan facing pointing at the inside, and let it sizzle away, and hoped that the heat from the sizzling battery and the air from the fan would dry it soon.
    It did dry - soon the sizzling stopped, and the phone just kept rebooting. The battery eventually died by the next day. So I put it on charge, and it eventually switched on, in recovery mode (USB picture and iTunes symbol).
    The next thing I noticed was that the battery held almost no charge. As soon as I disconnected it, the phone would die, immediately. Same thing if you connect it to the computer. On top of that, my Mac did not recognise the iPhone at all.
    Next, I cleaned out the dock with the sharp end of a safety pin and loads of fluff came out. And after re-connecting it a few times, iTunes recognised it. So I tried to restore it, but a few various errors came up, and eventually, error 2001 kept coming up. Which apparently means there is something wrong with the USB or dock. (My USB is fine, the phone dock is messed up).
    So next I tried to force the phone out of recovery mode. Pressing the buttons does nothing. No program works, except RecBoot for Mac. But even on that, as soon as the phone restarted, it died immediately and went back to recovery mode.
    So I took it off the computer and let the battery die again, and then charged for another 24 hours.
    Now at this stage, the phone seems to hold a bit of charge for a while. And iTunes is randomly recognising the phone. And it lets me restore it. And it even lets me restore the iTunes backup!! But after it has everything restored, the phone reboots one more time and iTunes says not to disconnect it... And now it's back in recovery mode.
    I'm going to keep on trying. I think it's partially down to luck and I would recommend you do the same. I'll post an update here if it works.
