HT4910 only half of a song will play

I got a new computer, after downloading my library I realized that every song is only half downloaded? Please help me.

- Try a 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.
- Delete the music and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Hi crgcain,
    If some of the songs on an album purchased from the iTunes Store are incomplete or won't play, you may want to try deleting them and redownloading the files. You may find the following article helpful:

    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.

  • TS3297 only part of the song will play

    Only 1.5 minutes of a 7 minute downloaded song will play.  How can this be fixed?

    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.

  • Only half of a song playing?

    I just brought a song of the iTunes store, it downloaded fine but only half of the song plays. It plays up until about 2 minutes and then goes on to the next song...
    Why does it do this =/

    It might be a bad download. But first thing to check is to click on the song, do a Get Info, then go to the Option tab. Make sure the Start and Stop time boxes are NOT checked, which will play the whole song. If either is checked, the tune will start or stop at the time indicated.

  • TS1718 I have purchased two complete albums in the last three weeks, old Bob Seger and new Maroone 5, both have the same issue, only a few songs will play and will skip over the rest of the songs on IPod and on computer????

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, 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.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    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.

  • HT201272 When I download a previously purchased song to my iMac only half of the song plays

    Any idea why only half of every song plays when I download a previously purchased album or song to my iMac?

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

  • Only the first few minutes of songs will play

    I have a 4th gen iPod Nano and when I try to play music only the first few minutes of each song will play. Each song cuts off at the same point each time and this ranges from about 2:30 to around 6:20 from the tracks I have tested. Some of them at least are currently in 256kbit aac although I have tried resyncing them with the option to convert higher bitrate tracks to 128kbit aac. This has no effect on the "stopping" point for each track. The music plays fine on iPhone 4, 5 and in iTunes. I have restored the ipod to factory settings and tried resyncing but to no avail.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    I am running OS X 10.8 with iTunes 11.

    a security idea for improvement: A password request before switching the phone off would give a user the chance of finding the phone within the first few minutes of it being stolen, since the thief wouldn't be able to turn the phone off.

  • I downloaded an album from Itunes but one of the songs will only play first 4 minutes. It is the last song on the album. All other songs will play.

    I downloaded an album from i Tunes but one of the songs will only play first 4 minutes of 26 minutes and then stop. It is the last song on the album. All other songs will play. The Album is U.F.O. 2 One Hour of Space Rock.

    Jim, wanted to let you know it worked.  I deleted the entire album since it was an album only (26 minutes long) song, then I went to the home icon of iTunes store, clicked on purchased and saw previous purchases and bam, I downloaded the album again and it now works!!!  Thanks..

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest of the songs keep trying to download and then come up with an error saying they cannot download at this time. I'm not sure what the issue is.

    I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it 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 it 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 that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • To restore my itunes library.  but no songs will play.  what next?    i

    i had backed up iTunes to external hard drive since i had to do a clean install on my computer.  My os is windows vista.
    I installed iTunes on my computer.
    Then i copied the iTunes folder on the external hard drive to the music folder on my clean computer.
    these are the steps i followed:  iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    i followed these steps for
    Restoring your iTunes Library backup
    When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
    Quit iTunes.
    Locate your external hard drive.
      Windows: In My Computer
    Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\My Music\
    Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
    In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
    Select the iTunes folder you just moved to the internal hard drive.
    Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .

    to get my iTunes library in iTunes.
    Well, my library IS  there with playlists.  But no songs will play.
    Obviously i've missed a step or done something incorrectly.
    please help.

    Are the songs displayed with exclamation marks? The exclamation mark for missing files is shown if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. Changing the path to the media folder won't fix the links to files you've moved by hand.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. I would suggest you untick Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Keep iTunes Media folder organized before you start so that things don't have to move around as they are repaired.

  • Upgraded to 7.7 now NO songs will play

    After upgrading to iTunes 7.7 I tired playing the songs in my library. The little speaker icon is showing next to the song, the play button is shown as 'pushed' to play...however the progress bar for *any song* I try to play is not progressing. NONE of my songs will play in my library, nor, after I plugged in my iPop, will any of my songs on my iPod play through the **** upgraded iTunes either.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    (iTunes is loaded on work computer, window based, running windows XP)

    Are you currently also getting an "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" message when you launch iTunes?

  • When I try to play an album from my library, the first song will play but then it will jump to another album.  iTunes is also splitting up my albums in a strange way.  any help?

    When I try to play an album from my library, the first song will play, but then it jumps to a different album.  iTunes is also splitting up certain albums like sound tracks.  any help?

    I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.
