HT1725 What do I do if the download says it is complete, but the song does not play the whole way through?

I downloaded an album from the itunes store, which completed fine, but when I play it, some songs play through fully and some go silent about 15 seconds before they should end. How do I fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (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 (or video 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.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • TS1424 I paid for and downloaded a song, but the whole song does not play. Why is this, and how can I get it back without buying the song again?

    I bought and downloaded a song, and the whole song does not play. Why is this, and can I get the whole song?

    Depending upon what country that you are in have you tried deleting and redownloading it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the 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 that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • A number of songs I downloaded from the iTunes store are not playing the whole way through.

    Some of the songs are only playing for a couple of seconds, them others I have purhased around the same time are playing the whole way through. Is there any way to fix this?

    Hey maddielou2,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines a resolution to your issue:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    - Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    - Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    - Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • When selecting a song to play on iPhone the correct song does not play.  How do I fix.

    When selecting a song to play on iPhone the correct song does not play.  How do I fix?

    There are users reporting the process being stuck and it might have to do with apple turning on match to other countries today.
    Have you tried turning match off and letting it remove all none downloaded songs and then turning match back on to see if it fixes it?
    Sometimes turn match off and then back on fixes some things, but not always.
    Especially if it is working on your other devices, it has to be with the one your trying to get the song downloaded onto.

    I downloaded album but one song will not play, repeatedly prompts to authorize computer. I did all four suggestions on help site for itunes, Nothing works. I have read several posts, but many have problems with old purchases and new computers. This is a purchase I made today. I have tried deleting the SC file, and made all changes suggested by iTunes web site and other suggestions. Anybody have any suggestions I may have missed? 

    Your latest purchase could be corrupt...

  • Hi I am unsuccessful in pairing my iPad 3 with my friend'sGT 19070 phone.  Her phone says we are paired but my iPad does not see the pair; it says it is unsupported.  Any suggestions?

    Hi I am unsuccessful in pairing my iPad 3 with my friend'sGT 19070 phone.  Her phone says we are paired but my iPad does not see the pair; it says it is unsupported.  Any suggestions?

    The iPad message is correct, it is unsupported. You cannot pair your iPad with your friends phone. Bluetooth on the iPad is designed for the use of headphones, keyboards, speakers and some peer to peer gaming.

    I just tested it (on 10.6.8) and it worked perfectly well, so it may be something on your computer. You could try creating a new user account on your Mac and using that to try downloading. You can then install on that account and it will be available on your normal one.

  • HT1725 I purchased Danza Kuduro Don Omar & Lucenzo and the song does not play

    Danza Kuduro doesn't play?  ¡That will bring the party to a halt real quick!
    Seriously, it is most likely just a download problem.  You can delete the bad copy from your library, and then download a fresh copy at no cost by following this guide:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1619
    In the unlikely event that the new copy has the same problem, report it to iTunes Customer Service at this web page:

  • I can download a song to my mp3 player but the song does not play

    when i download the song it wiil not play but it is on the playlist on my mp3

    OK.
    Not sure why you are in the itunes forum.
    Your issue is with your MP3 player.  Go to their support page.
    Itunes syncs with Apple devices.  It has little or nothing to do with other players.
    Does your MP3 player support the file type of the song that your downloaded?

  • Have purchased an album on i tunes but one song will not play. Tried to authorise the computer to play it but still not doing it

    Have bought new Now 35 album and one song won't play because it says it's not authorised on my computer! I have gone through the authorisation process but it still won't let me play the song. Does anyone know what I can do next? I did already download this song originally from You Tube but have since deleted it in case this is the cause of the unauthorisation.

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

  • Songs not played the whole way through

    On several of my song on my ipod, it will start to play the song just fine. After a while, the song will stop, the time left in the song will be 1 second and I have a really hard time to get it to start playing it again. I have tried lot of different methods from restarting the ipod to restoring the ipod. Does anyone else have this problem or am i the only one?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • TS1362 Song wont play the whole way through?

    I downloaded new music today from iTunes, and some songs only get a few seconds in and cut to the next song. It seems like the download wasnt totally completed? Most songs are fine, but a few only play the first few seconds

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • HT204406 Downloaded song does not play

    I have downloaded several songs and they do not play on my iPhone.  A few seconds of the song might play and then it fastforwards thorugh the entire album.  Sometimes an error message shows up that says "URL not found."  This has happened with a few albums I have tried to download, and it seems the files transferred incorrectly.  How can I fix this without paying for the songs again?

    The song was purchased with a different Apple ID than is authorized on your computer's  iTunes.
    In iTunes, go to Store > Authorize This Computer in the menu bar and enter the Apple ID and password that was used to purchase the song.

  • Hello can you advise me what I can do when some sites have adobe flash reader but iPad 2 does not support it

    Hello is there anything I can do when ipad2 does not allow adobe flash reader
    THanks

    These are user-to-user forums, Apple don't monitor these forums (there are too many forums/threads/posts for that to happen).
    For Apple's thoughts on flash : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    But as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it doesn't look like it will ever be supported on the iPad.
