HT4527 How can I get my itunes music to play the entire song?

After My hard drive crashed and burned it was replaced with a new Hard drive.  I restored my itunes folder from my external back up drive. when I go into itunes all of my music appears and most of it plays. However, my older purchases  will only play a few bars of music and then it skips to the next song.  There are no error messages or "!" to indicate what is happening.  I've deauthorized both of my computers and reauthorized the one with the new drive, but no improvement.  How can I fix this?

Where is your music?
Why can't you sync the iPad to your computer?

  • How can I get my itunes purchases to play on any mp3 player?

    I can't get my itunes purchases to play on my other mp3 players.  I don't want to download these programs people suggest on the internet.
    And really, I shouldn't have to. If I've already paid for the music, why can't I put it on the device I choose?  There must be a way. Any help? BTW, I'm using Windows Vista, (yuk)

    You can put the music on any device you choose, as long as the device can play the format. Purchases from the iTunes Store are in industry-standard AAC format. If you want to use them on a player that can only handle MP3, you need to convert the tracks. See:

  • IPod is dead, how can I get my iTunes music back?!

    I recently dropped my iPod in the toilet, as if you have never heard that story before! So now it is fried. We also got new computers, so we didn't have iTunes downloaded onto this computer. I re-downloaded it and signed in, but I found my music and movies, EVERYTHING was gone!  I don't know how to get it back, or if it is even possible at this point.  I put my iPod in rice too, but it still isn't working.  Are my iTunes purchases and everything gone forever?  That is so depressing if it is!  So PLEASE respond!  I'm desperate at this point!  Thank you!!!

    Have you not got a backup of your content on external drive(s) that you can copy onto your computer ? If not, and you are in the US, then you should be able to re-download past music purchases (assuming that they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519, but films can only be downloaded from iTunes once.

  • My backup cd failed me..How can I get my iTunes music back?

    I had to format my computer, and did a backup on my iTunes library, as recommended, on a dvd. Everything seemed fine, until I was about to copy my music back on to my ITunes after the formatting. iTunes says it can't read the CD/DVD properly after a while in the player, and so I am without music! My computer otherwise recognizes it, and can even say what's on there, with artists names and all, but obviously can't open the files properly, since they're zipped "the iTunes way"...If anyone can help me find a way to make it read and decode the backupcd, I would be really grateful!
    Even if you can't help me with that issue, answering this will be almost just as helpful (as I will get most of my lost music back): So my whole pc was formatted, and my iTunes library is empty as well. But then I tried to log into iTunes store, so that I could download all the songs I've bought there. Again, it wouldn't let me, says that all my available downloads are already downloaded on this computer... well, but they're erased! Please, please, please, I hope someone can help me, I NEED my music!

    It won't let you restore from backup?

    You only get ONE download. You cannot re-download music. It is your responsibility to backup your music. You should always have a backup.
    From the itunes store terms of service:
    " PRODUCTS CAN ONLY BE DOWNLOADED ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM"
    You can transfer purchases from an ipod:

  • Itunes karaoke: how can I get my itunes karaoke to play on Magic Sing ET19KV?

    I have an EnterTech Magic Sing ET19KV karaoke system and I'd love to buy some new songs for it, but just certain songs I want not a whole song chip with just a few songs I like out of 1000.  Does anyone know how to get itunes karaoke songs to work on the machine? I downloaded the songs and put them on the memory card but it can't find them. it will play jpeg off the memory card (and supposedly straight MP3) but is there a way to get it to play karaoke songs? do I have to change the format to something else? or is there a way to load songs onto a blank song chip?

    HK Connor,
    The tracks labeled "karaoke" in the iTunes Store are only instrumental backing tracks in AAC format.  They are not actual karaoke tracks.  They do not have lyrics, and cannot be burned to the usual CD+G format that a karaoke machine will accept.
    If you want actual karaoke tracks,  go to a specialty online download store such as www.buykaraokedownloads.com . 

  • How can I get my purchased music to play again?

    I recently updated my iPod 4g to the newest version of software. everything has showed up EXCEPT my purchased music. It is shown in my music and in iTunes, but it won't play. Instead, it will skip to the next playable song. Any solutions?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • I just accidentally wiped out my entire music library.  How can I get apple to help me download the purchased songs again?  The songs went to my recycle bin and I immediately restored them but the files seem to have dissappered!

    I just accidentally wiped out my entire music library.  I sent everything to recycling bin and then immediately hit restore all items as I knew what I had just done.  Now I can find where those files went.  Is there anyway Apple can just send me my purchased songs again?

    That's does nothing to set OS X to use that folder as your home folder.
    For iTunes, hold Option, laucnh iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    To set OS X to use the Home folder on the external, see this -> http://chris.pirillo.com/how-to-move-the-home-folder-in-os-x-and-why/

  • How do I get my iTunes music to play once I have moved it to my Seagate external hard drive

    I had all of my iTunes stuff on my desktops internal hard drive and it was really slowing it down.  So this morning I organized my media folder like apple support said too and then I changed the media folder location to my Seagate external hard drive.  Now when I bring up my iTunes library it says it "cannot find the original and asks if I would like to locate it.  I have been through this before.  When I locate the file from my external hard drive to my computer it just puts the file right back into my computer taking up my internal hard drive space.  What do I need to do to play my itunes library from my Seagate external hard drive?  I would also like to be able to sync my Ipod from my external hard drive.  Please Help!!! This thing is driving me Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Is there any way I can retry to consolidate them in my external hard drive?
    sure.
    preferences > advanced. point iTunes media folder location to the external. on the same tab, ensure that the copy to ... and keep ... organized options are checkmarked. ok out of preferences.
    now consolidate your files via library > organize library.
    all media files will be copied to the external (except those that are already on it - if any).
