HT201272 Downloaded only part of songs

Hi there,
During an attempt to download purchases from iTunes Store, one album did not successfully download, for every song on the album only parts of each song are downloaded even thought the counter shows the full song as being there. How can I re-download?

Your suggestion got me a reply from Apple which had some suggestions. One of which was restarting iTunes. I had already done that and finally after two shutdowns of the computer and restarting iTunes I was able to go to check available downloads. The downloads began again and completed.
I had tried to delete the partially downloaded songs so they could be reloaded but didn't knoe the trick to do this. If you want to delet songs hold down the option and delete keys to get a dialog box to verify deletion. here is the method from Apple.
"On a Mac: Press the Option key and the Delete key on the keyboard.
On Windows: Press the Shift key and the Delete key on the keyboard.
The following dialogue will appear: “Are you sure you want to remove the selected song from your iTunes library?”
Note: If you do not see this message when deleting files from the library, you may have selected the option “Do not ask me again” at some point in the past. To allow iTunes to display this message again, open the Advanced tab of the iTunes Preferences, and click the Reset button next to “Reset all dialogue warnings.”
This second dialogue may also appear: “Do you want to move the selected song to the Trash, or keep it in the iTunes Media folder? Only files in the iTunes Media folder will be moved to the Trash.”
Note: This message will not appear if all of the selected files are stored outside of the iTunes Media folder location. iTunes will leave these files on your computer wherever they are located"

HT203167 only part of song downloaded

Only part of song downloaded.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

How do i burn only parts of songs onto a cd

how do i burn only parts of songs onto a cd?

Use an audio editor such as Audacity to make a separate file of the part you want and burn that to a CD.

Only part of songs downloaded!

I bought the new Florence and the Machine ablum and the first 3 or 4 songs are only partly downloaded, about 30-40 seconds long, but the rest of the songs are fully downloaded!
why is this and how can I get the full songs?
Thanks

Contact the iTunes Store support people using Express Lane, they should be able to take care of the problem.

How can I download only part of my library?

I've started purchasing movies to stream to my television through AppleTV, but I'm running out of space on my MacBook Pro. I'm considering buying a Mac Mini and running it as part of my entertainment system instead of storing the movies on the laptop. Once that's working, I'd like to remove the movies from the laptop to free up disk space. So--
Is it possible to authorize two machines (laptop, Mac Mini) on an iTunes account but then only download purchases to one or the other? If so, how? In this case, I'd like to download purchased movies to the Mac Mini and music and books to the laptop.
Thanks.

Create a playlist that is used to sync with the iPhone, and manage its content to use no more than the available device memory.

ITunes downloading only part of Podcast

Hi!
I'm trying to download shows from Dennis Miller's radio show.
When I go to iTunes from my iPhone, I see the listings and the shows are 1:49 minutes long. They are free. I hit the download button and it starts.
I go the the iPod button on my phone and the Podcast is there but it's only 10 minutes long. That is how long it will play for. I've tried three different dates of the show and all three only download the first 10 minutes.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

bumping for some help. Thanks!

TS1424 download only half the song on a album

Just bought an Album on itunes. One song did not get downloaded completely. i have 1:35 of a over 3 minute song. How can i get the rest of the song downloaded??

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks 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 same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Ipod plays only part of song then goes to next song

This has happened to me 2 times.
I have songs in my Ipod shuffle. I download/upload new cd into my library (my library is wholly made up of my personal cds) then put them on my ipod. The ipod shows the new songs and plays them EXCEPT some (most but not all) of the NEW songs loaded stop abruptly and the next song starts.
2 times I have done trouble shooting to find out if I play the same song through my computer (rather than straight from the suffle) if it plays partially or not (the music library on the computer plays the whole song) and both times the computer abruptly shows that my suffle is corrupted. I reset to factory settings and reload my music library and all songs play fine.
I don't want to have to do this every time I upload music -- and I want the entire song to play. What should I do next time I load a cd into my library and onto my suffle???.
Gateway Laptop Windows XP

I have this problem too. It's happening on 7.6.1 (9). I authorized this computer but they still don't play. They don't even play fully off the cd that I burned from the computer I purchased them on.

I bought a Mac and transferred my music from iTunes on old computer to new mac- now some songs are only partly on- song stops before finishing song...whats up?

My itunes on my mac and a lot (not all) of the songs that I transferred are not in complete...it shows the correct time of song but goes to next song after a certain amount of time...I have found at least 20 but know there are more as I havent checked every song...

Yes, and because of the number of comments I see about this I will say this seems to be a bug with recent iTunes. Apart from rebuilding the library from ground up I don't know of a sure cure for it. Are you running the newest version of iTunes?

I downloaded an audiobook and only part 2 is in my library

I just updated my iphone 4s to ios7. I downloaded an Audiobook from the itunes store and it has 2 parts. When i went to my purchased list to look at my recent download, only part 2 was available. I went back to itunes store to see if i can re-download "from the cloud" and it just says "downloaded". How can I retrieve part 1 back to my iphone?
Thanks

HT201272 Only part of a song downloaded from itunes store

Only part of a song (the first 12 seconds) downloaded and I nothing in my download list. How can i download the entire song?

Hey AMumey,
That definitely sounds frustrating. I agree that this song may have not downloaded completely. See the following article:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
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:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country
Thanks,
Matt M.

Only parts of my songs from itunes match are downloading onto my phone. The full song plays fine on computer but not on iphone

I recently purchased Itunes match to download some of the songs from my library onto my phone. Everything downloaded fine. At least I thought, until I tried to listen to my music on my phone. I found that some of the songs that were downloaded from the itunes match are not fully there. The full song plays fine on my computer, however on my phone it will only play a part of the song and then immediately cut off and skip to the next song, while the display still says the other song should be playing. I tried turning off the itunes match and just re-synching the music from my computer itunes library to my phone but still encounerted the same problem. Is there an easier way of fixing this, or do I have to basically restore my whole phone?

Did you let the scan in iTunes finish before you enabled the service on the iPhone? If not you need to. Disable iTM on the iPhone, then launch the Music app and let the content clear out. Once the scan is complete in iTunes re-enable iTM on the iPhone.

Why did only part of my song download?

I downloaded a song and only part of it completed but it isn't still in the download section. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem with many songs. More if the song is a track in an Album, se next song start and plays for the remaining time of the first one! I tryed to redownload with no success . The problem is not only with the uploaded songs but also with the matched!

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.

HT1725 What do I do if only part of a song I purchased actually downloaded successfully and itunes is saying it downloaded successfully?

What do I do if only part of a song I purchased actually downloaded successfully and itunes is saying it downloaded successfully?
The song is supposed to last for 2mins 46sec but it cuts out less than a min in to the song.
There is no notification that the download was unsuccessful or incomplete and the 'search for available downloads' option comes back that all songs are downloaded.
What can I do without having to purchase the song again?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) have you tried deleting it from your iTunes library 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 it's still in your iTunes library then iTunes will assume that it doesn't need re-downloading. Re-downloading.
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.
