HT203433 only a portion of the song I purchased downloaded to my mac, but is there for my iPhone how do I fix it?

I downloaded a song from Itunes but it only downloaded a portion of the song onto my macbook, but when I go to my Iphone the whole song is there...how do I fix it on my computer?

You could delete that partial track from your Mac's iTunes and then copy it over from your phone by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

  • I purchase songs and only a portion of the song was down loaded?

    HELP - I purchase songs and only a portion of the song was down loaded?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-downloads in the same 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 those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • TS1717 When I am trying to preview a song in iTunes store, the song quits after about 10 seconds. Is this an iTunes problem, or how do I fix it from stopping?

    When I am trying to preview a song in iTunes store, the song quits after about 10 seconds. Is this an iTunes problen, or how do I fix it from stopping?

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

  • I've imported several CDs that are "collections", with songs by various artists.  Only a PORTION of the song info appears in iTunes, and, when a song is "clicked-on" to play it, a message appears that the "song could not be found".  Any ideas ?

    The CDs are imported into the "iTunes Media" folder, under "Compilations".   Each CD has a folder, with the name of the CD.  However, EACH SONG in the folder is assigned a sequential number as a prefix before the song's name.  For example "2-1 Sunshine of Your Love."  This prefix, I believe, prevents the song from being imported into the iTunes library.  The song's name appears in the iTunes library (with the number prefix), BUT no other song info (artist, CD name, time, etc.) shows in the iTunes library.   I am NOT designating these CD's as "complilations", but somehow, iTunes is arbitrarily assigning them to this "Compilations" folder, and then assigning sequential numbers to each song.    I am confused.  (My only remedy is to MANUALLY remove the prefix number from each song in the CD folder, within the COMPILATIONS folder, then "re-import" it into iTunes.  Cumbersome.)    Thanks in advance for any opinion, tips or guidance.

    The numeric prefixes in filenames are probably the optional disc number, followed by the track number. iTunes will pick up the Compilation flag from the Gracenote CDDB database if you ripped the tracks with iTunes, or the flag may have been set earlier if these are existing tracks you have imported into a new library.  The iTunes naming convention is <Artist>\<Album>\[<D#>-]<T##> <Name>.<Ext> where Album Artist is used instead of Artist if not blank, and Compliations is used instead of Artist when Part of a compilation is true. Empty Artist or Album values are replaced with Unknown Artist or Unknown Album respectively. With Windows, file and folder names are limited to 40 characters. If more than one file is added with the same details subsequent tracks get suffixes to separate them.
    If iTunes can't find a file that usually means that it has been moved after it was added to the library. Select a single broken track and press CTRL+I to Get Info. Look on the summary tab at the location that iTunes expects to find the file. Where is it really? Post back both paths and I might be able to figure out what has happened, and suggest a fix.

  • My songs are missing in the music and the used memory doesn't change. Is it a bug for IOS7? How can I fix it?

    I plugged my ipod touch 5 via usb to the pc and browsed my music on itunes. And suddenly i played some music and there's a exclamation point before the song. I haven't deleted that song or moved. And the whole album was gone. And i checked the number of songs on my ipod and it decreased without change in memory used. Is it an another BUG for ios7? is there a way to fix it?

    That indicates the song files are not corrupted.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An large "other" usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Recently my pc crashed and I had to have a new profile built.  now when syncing my iphone to the computer the sync gets stuck on step 8 and "syncing artwork"  It never finishes syncing...just sits there for hours.  How do I fix this?

    Recently my pc crashed and I had to have a new profile built.  Now when syncing my iphone 4s to the computer the sync gets stuck on step 8 and "syncing artwork"  It never finishes syncing...just sits there for hours.  Subsequently most of my music and apps are missing from my iphone because it never finishes syncing.  How do I fix this?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

    Can't download paid apps from the app store. Can download free apps but not paid for apps. Anyone know what is wrong?

    If you're using a first generation iPod touch, it is up to date. The higher iOS versions require a newer model.

  • I'm trying to add my new computer, which is not an ios, onto to my account to re download the music I purchased from my old computer but it's not telling me how.

    I'm using a windows product computer which is coincidentally the same computer I used to purchase these songs the first time, but it's telling me its not registered for a re download and it won't help me. All it tells me is to find the menu section but I can't find the menu section it's referring to.

    Deauthorize all then authorize the active computers.
    ipods/ipads/iphones are not authorized at all.  Authorization applies only to computers.

  • ITunes crash by loading the apps for my iPhone, how can i fix this?

    Hey Community
    i have a big problem. I will load my apps on my iPhone, but everytime if I will open Apps in the iTunes menu from my iPhone iTunes crash.
    So I have updated iTunes, but it still crash again and again. I need help, I don't want to load all my apps trough my phone with AppleStore.
    Best regards

    The best way to do it is to copy your iTunes library (or a backup of it) from your old computer to your new one. Make sure iTunes on the new computer is Authorized to the same account you had on the old computer and the iPhone. Then it should sync correctly. As al alternative see this user tip: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • TS1424 the song i purchased cuts out with 2 minutes to go...

    the song i purchase cuts out with 2 minutes to go.... how can i fix this?

    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.

    There is a backup plan after doing the Restore.  Read this.

  • How do I burn only a portion of a song onto a disc?

    How do I burn only a portion of a song onto a disc?

    Select the song, do a Get Info, Options, set the start and stop times to whatever part of the song you want. OK out of there. Add song to playlist, burn to a CD. Only the selected part of the song will be burned.
    Be sure to reset the start and stop times if you want to be able to listen to the full track in iTunes.
    Also, you can right click on the song with the start/stop times set, pick Convert To XXX (xxx will be whatever the import preferences are set for (MP3, AAC, etc.), and a new copy of the song will be created but only the portion between the start and stop times.

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.
