I bought 2 songs from itunes and one plays for 43 seconds and stops and the other places for 1 minutes and 40 seconds and stops

I bought the song "You" by Chris Young and the song "Yesterday" by the Beatles and they played fine for a period of time. However one day about 4 months ago, when I would play either song, the song would play normal for an amount of time ( "You" for 1 minute and 42 seconds and "Yesterday" for 29 seconds) and then the song would stop playing on my iPod touch 3rd gen. When I played the songs on iTunes, it would just go to the next song. I contacted Apple support through email, and they responded promptly with a reponse and a solution! The lady helping me accessed my account and made it so that the song "redownload" I guess because thats what happened when I signed on to iTunes and the two songs were loading. Well I think I heard the songs once or twice and now they are doing it again! The songs stops at those same times and will not play. What is the solution?

- Try a reset. it cures many ill and 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
- Does it play in iTunes on the computer?
- Delete the song and redownload it by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Ask iTunes for a redownload.

HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

i'm just wondering:
a) why it does this
and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

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.

If you are syncing music to the iPhone automatically, you won't be able to play tracks on the iPhone from iTunes, the music will be grayed out.
You can play them in iTunes if you Manually Manage the music on your iPhone though.
You could also Transfer the purchases from your iPhone to a computer.

Bought two songs from iTunes store on my iPhone 4s. Tried bringing the songs from my phone to my computer iTunes through iCloud but it doesn't even show the option to choose music?

My computer has been authorised and has the newest version of iTunes. My iPhone shoes the option of choosing my computer's music but my computer doesn't even show the option of music, but shows apps, movies, tv-shows and books. When i choose the option of find music to download from my phone, it says i have downloaded all yet i haven't and the music isn't in my library.
This was my first time when i bought anything from iTunes store and it also shows in my account information that i have bought these two songs but when trying to download them from my iCloud it doesn't work. Also when i click on the songs in my iTunes store on my computer, it says i have bought them but doesn't show the option of playing them. Is the problem in my iPhone or is this something to do with the songs' copyrights?

Bought songs from itunes, now they're gone.

I bought a song from itunes via my old ipod touch. I've since gotten rid of it and bought a iphone for Verizon. I went to my itunes under "purchased" and it showed all the music I've bought via the computer, but not the one song I bought directly using the ipod touch. I went into the store to download it again, hoping it would acknowledge my "rights" to the song and let me download it again.
I was sort of correct. iTunes warned me that I'd already bought this song and did I really want to buy it again?
To summarize, I paid for and downloaded the song, but now it's gone and I want to get it back without paying for it again. Can anyone help me accomplish this?

Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased tracks. It's your responsibility to make backup copies in case something goes wrong with your system, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose some or all of your content. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
It's possible that the track is on your computer but not being recognized in iTunes. Take a look here for some tips on how to look for it. If you can't find the track and you haven't made a backup and don't have your track on a player, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase the track.
If you have your track on an iPhone/iPod/etc or have it backed up, post back and someone here can help you get it restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find a button to send e-mail to them) and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.
Regards.

Downloaded Songs From iTunes Won't Play

I downloaded three songs from iTunes. The songs were downloading, and stalled during processing. I restarted iTunes canceling the downloads. When I went back to re-download, it told me that the songs had already been purchased. I checked for the purchases, and they showed up on the document. However, they still did not show up in my download list. So, I redownloaded them. They downloaded fully, but now they will not play. All my other songs play fine, including songs downloaded during the same period. Why aren't these songs playing?

Hi there jayc401,
You may want to try deleting those tracks from the device and downloading them again from the iTunes Store. Take a look at the article below for more information.

My Ipod won't play bought songs from Itunes

I have a new ipod nano, and it plays songs that I upoad to iTunes from CD, but not ones I buy from the itunes store, they come up and my ipod skips right over them. the only difference I can find between bought songs and songs I upload from CD's is the extension on the bought songs is 'm4p' and the ones from CD's is 'm4a'.
the songs play on itunes, but not my nano, which is confusing cuz I thought iTunes was made for ipods?

See this: iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

Bought album from itunes, but one track doesn't play all the way through

Hi I bought No Place Like Home from Manoa DNA. All of the tracks playback except one, track 10 Ka Nohona Pili Kai/Nada Sou Sou. Through the song as it plays, when it gets to timestamp 1:05, it stops playing and plays track 11. After timestamp 1:05 doesnt finish playing the rest of the song. What do I do? Who do I contact for this problem to fix? I paid $9.99 for the whole album and one track isn't working. What is going on???

Delete the troublesome song from your library and download it again from your Purchased History. If the replacement download still has the same problem (rare, but it can happen if the original in the store is corrupt) use the report a problem link from your account history.

Were the songs in question downloaded directly on the device or synced from iTunes on the computer?

Purchased songs from Itunes STILL not playing on ipod mini

I read all the posts about this issue, of purchased Itunes songs not playing on ipod. I deauthorized the computer and all computers associated with the account. then re authorized them. I reset the ipod several times, and also restored the ipod. I reinstalled the itunes software. I changed the sync to manual. removed one of the purchased songs. reauthorized the computer, then manually added the song back. I renamed the song. I even tried with downloading the free song. Any other suggestions. It made me look bad when after all of this I still could not fix the users issue. Other than declaring it a HARDWARE issue, I thought there could be a registry setting with the authorizing that did not happen properly. Has anyone else experienced this issue , and NOT been able to fix it. It would really appreciate any advice. My only conclusion was hardware, and the user states they had already spoke with apple who declined to help.

It may be an authorization issue. Both iTunes and the iPod need to be up-to-date.
Usually, you need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS within iTunes to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.4), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
If the above 'standard' fixes did not help, then it's a bigger problem that I can diagnose...

Bought song from 80's album play on computer but not itouch, another song from album play on both

I bought a 80's song from mixed album, two songs play where one dont. It will play on computer and look like it downloaded to itouch but no sound although the bar is moving as if playing. Help

The exact same thing has happened to me . . . 2 of the 4 songs I purchased recently play fine on the PC and are listed in the ipod's contents, but are skipped over when I try playing them directly on the ipod. I'm a newbie at this, so go easy . . .

Songs from Itunes store quit playing midstream

I just down loaded a lot of songs, and a lot of them are skipping to the next song every time it gets to the same place in the song. ....not all are doing this...but most. I have the most recent Itunes installed, and am on a windows 7 pc. I created a new user account in windows,and it still did the same thing, so it has nothing to do with my actual windows account... I'm VERY frustrated! Please help if you can!

If the fixes suggested by btabz don't work, try this.
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
