HT1349 why won't my songs play

I recently download an album and s few singles and they only play for a few seconds. I have over 350 songs from itunes and they all play. The music downloads fine and goes into my library, but still only plays a few seconds of each song. I began having this problem about a week ago

You will need to make sure that all the other relevant fields are completed and that those fields are accurate.
total number of tracks on the album (as well as the track number):
Artist name and album title are exactly the same - i.e. no extra spaces at the end of the name.
If it is a Various Artists album, make sure that Part of a compilation is ticked and that the Album Artist has Various Artists in it, (See the above example).
If none of the above sorts out the issue, check the Sorting tab and make sure the fields are correct.

Why won't this song play even after I authorized the computer? It says that I need to authorize the computer, then I enter my username and password and it says the computer is already authorized. But then the song still won't play. What do I do?

Why won't some songs play on 1st generation iPod Touch after paying to update to software version 3.1.3 (7E18)?

This weekend I purchased the software update for the 1st generation touch from iTunes to update it to version 3.1.3. Prior to the update, the iPod was still 100% working. The only reason I paid for the upgrade was so I could get the App Store. Since upgrading, approximately 50% of my songs won't play. When the problem occurs, the album art will show up on the screen, but after a few seconds of silence, the "play" button pops up indicating that the song paused or stopped. If I push play again, it looks like it will play for a second or two, but then it does the same thing. Then if I skip to the next song, and its a song the iPod likes, I can hit play and that song will play without a problem. All the songs on my iPod have been downloaded from iTunes or ripped from CD's I purchased, so it's not like I have a bunch of shady, corrupt music files. I'm just frustrated because Apple wants to charge me for support since this is an older product. However, the product was working fine until the other day when I PAID for their software update. If anyone went through a similar issue and has info it would be much appreciated.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Why won't my songs play on itunes?

I have windows xp and recenlty I had all my items removed, my hard drive wiped, and then all my items were re-added to my laptop. My volume works just fine with everything except iTunes....when I hit play on a song, the song cues up, but it doesn't play, and the little curser that moves as the song progesses just sits there at the 0:00 mark. Do I need to update a driver? Thanks so much!!!

Hello,
I have the latest Itunes and a IPOD CLASSIC updated.
Some songs i can play in itunes (MP3 CDRip 320 KBS) won't play in the ipod.
I don't know how to fix this problem.
I restored the ipod from the itunes and sync again, but the problem persist.
The sogs are Skipped when i try to play.
I find a fix for this problem: sync the music with mediamonkey.
ALL songs can be played in the ipod after sync with mediamonkey.
Is very strange this problem, maybe itunes generate this problem, because after aync with itunes many songs are skiped and won't play, but with mediamonkey sync the problem is solved.

Why won't my songs play in numerical tracks order?

I have an album with about 30 songs on it, and some of those songs came from different sources. I changed all of the items on "Get Info" so that they would match, (album title, artist, album artist, composer, track number, disc number, compilation, etc) and although all of the information is correct, some of the songs are out of order. The album starts out with Track 1, but then it skips to Track 3. The rest of the album proceeds in numerical order for the most part, but Track 2, 15, 16, and 20 are all listed at the end of the album. If everything in Info checks out, why are some of the songs out of order?

Why won't my songs play on Ipod but will on Computer?

My songs on my computer are playing perfectly fine. I download all the songs to my 4th generation Ipod touch, and they are on the ipod but whenever I select them they do not play, the songs just skip over most of them and then play the songs that will play. My sister has a older verison of an Ipod touch and hers will play the songs. On the computer under my ipod's playlists the songs pop up with the "i" bubble. What can i do to fix this?! I've tried re downloading the songs muiltiple times. It doesn't seem to work.

i got the same problem, happened with "Now its on" and currently with "My Wife, My *****, My Girl", both by Tech N9NE. i ended up just getting now its on from limewire. i think the song for download might be faulty becuase i even deleted the song from my computer and bought it again, but to no avail. as well, i took the song off my ipod and put it on again, which also didn't work. I suggest just finding it on the internet in some other way

HT203164 Why won't the song titles transfer with the music when I burn to disc and play on another device?

Why won't the song titles transfer with the music whaen I burn to disc and play or copy to another program?

Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Are any fo the unsyning songs DRM protected?
What is the detail format of the non-syncing songs?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s?

why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s? it was playing thru the music app but now it's not playing. It show the song but doesn't do anything.

I had this issue when I first upgraded my Iphone4 to ios5. All my music appeared on my device as they always have but they would not play. I searched around online and it appears there was mention of unchecking the "sync music" check box in itunes under the music tab (when device is connected) and syncing your device. I then unchecked all my playlists and synced again then started adding back my music from scratch. After that headache - everything seemed to be back to normal and my music was working once again.

Hi There,
I had the same problem took me several hours to try and sort it out but nothing worked.
I then went to the following apple link

Follow everything to a T and you will get the use of your Itunes again.
Hope this helps. Good luck (And remember to breath lol )

What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?
