I purchased and downloaded my songs, and some don't play.

To clarify the songs do play, but only the first 4 seconds. The weirdest part is that songs that were downloaded before and after the ones that won't work, from the same album as well, do work. Any advice and has anyone ever had it happen before?

Delete the corrupted songs, then redownload.

  • HT1725 can I delete an album from my computer and re-download from my purchases? I bought an album and some of the songs only play partof the way through and some won't play at all. One of them says this computer is not authorized to play this trac.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks only from your iTunes library, 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.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    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.

  • I accidentally purchased three songs when I clicked on just one to purchase and I don't know what to do to stop then from downloading or to get them off my iPod..

    I accidentally purchased three songs when I clicked on just one to purchase and I don't know what to do to stop then from downloading or to get them off my iPod..

    Purchases are considered final, but if they were accidental purchases then you could try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : 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
    If they've downloaded onto your iPod then you should be able to delete them from it by swiping/dragging across them from right-to-left on the Songs selection screen in the Music app

  • I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

    I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

    How did you do this move?  Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • HT1211 I have songs in Itunes that at one time synced to my ipod. Now some do and some don't even if their box is checked

    I have songs in Itunes that at one time synced to my ipod. Now some do and some don't even if their box is checked. I also have the latest Itunes software.
    I can still play them in Itunes but some won't sync to Ipod and I don't know why.

    Hey pooleking,
    I'd start the troubleshooting with your iPod. You can find some basic steps to start with here:

  • ITunes 11.3 some things add to library and some don't

    I have iTunes 11.3.1 (2) (64 bit) and a Mackbook Pro 13" (early 2011 model) OS X 10.9.4. I moved my music, audiobooks, movies, podcasts, etc to a home server (Seagate Central) and created a new library. I was able to add my ring tones to iTunes as well as my audiobooks and about 600 of my songs. Some songs add and some don't. Doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason. I've imported m4a, mp3, m4p. The items that have imported and am trying to import come from the same iTunes Media/Music folder. I've tried adding both by folder and by individual file. I've also right-clicked a song and selected to open in iTunes and nada. I've also checked the Recently Added playlist and nothing is there as well. These same songs played when they were stored on my Macbook. I don't get it. I'll see a millisecond flash of the album but nothing happens. The only common factors I can see is that if it will let me play it in the finder it will let me add to iTunes. Also, it seems that 'older' stuff I added from CD from my older iPod days doesn't add. For kicks, I tried to copy and paste an album back to my MBP and it says I don't have permission but that happens with both ones that show up in the program and ones that don't. I'm the admin on both my laptop and the server. Grr. HELP!
    PS: When I use Seagate's remote site I can listen to songs that won't play in my Finder or add.

    I haven't seen this issue before but I have seen lots of posts here about issues with using iTunes with NAS.  General rule of thumb is iTunes is not guaranteed to play well with NAS.  For some it does, for others not.
    My understanding is NAS uses its own software to interface with the computer's software.  This could well have been designed with Windows in mind and the drive you are using may be formatted NTFS for Windows and iTunes is having to trust the software 100% for interfacing.  Perhaps your files have illegal characters for Windows naming convention.
    Remember the game where people sit in a long row and whisper a message from one end to the other, then compare the results which almost invariably have been garbled in transmission? That's iTunes and your files over NAS.
    Maybe some of this is iTunes fault but if you take this issue to an Apple Store I bet they will ask you why you aren't using a plain external hard drive.  If you use third party hardware then it is up to the vendor (who likely sells 95% to PC users) to ensure the interface works.

  • Only some movies I have placed in iTunes "Movies" are viewable via Apple TV.  Why?  Also some movies have blue dots in front of their titles and some don't . Why?

    Only some movies I have placed in iTunes "Movies" are viewable via Apple TV.  Why?  Also some movies have blue dots in front of their titles and some don't . Why?

    Please understand I am a frustrated customer like you,  , but the availability of movies that have been shown before is dependant on licencing from the rights owners. Sky quite rightly have to pay the film studios for the ability to show to Sky's customers. As I understand it they purchase the right for a period of time, hence when the right expires then it has to be removed. The costing of the movies does reflect on the anticipated popularity of the programme, hence an older less popular movie might seem expensive but if not many people watch and pay that would be right. The apparent silliness of having movies in the store and on demand, allows those people who do not have a movie subscription to rent the movie on a one off basis. I agree that Sky seem to be licencing some programmes for shorter periods and it really upsets me when movies appear in buy and keep but not available to rent only. I recently queried Sky about Fortitude being available in OnDemand until 2022!, then of course found out that Sky owns the rights of the series. I can only say be careful if you are a movies subscriber and wish to watch a movie, not to select the Sky Store version if it is available in the Movies on Demand section. I recently wanted to watch a film that I found in Sky store at a cost, and just to be sure I searched for it and found it was to be shown on Channel 4 in a few days. I don't think we'll ever understand how such decision are made as to how long they licence movies for and how the charging model works with the film studios. Logically you would think that a smallish fee to have available indefinately and to pay the studio fee based on the number of rentals would be better, but that might be difficult to administer and Sky would have to have extra server storage fees, which they outsource. Hope that help you understand 

  • Can't sync all ringtones, some get sync, and some don't even though I clearly have them all checked.

    I've created my AAC file and then changed it to m4r mode and then I copied it back to the tones section of iTunes. Everything is fine at this stage. Then when I try to sync all my tones, some get sync and some don't even though I clearly have all of them checked. So I click the all tones box instead and sync, then other tones which previously have not been synced are synced and those that were synced previously do not get synced. I've tried everything, from making duplicates of songs to even deleting my tones and re-syncing. I've taken over an hour to sync and still unsuccessful. Why is it so complicated just to sync a few tones? Is apple trying to discourage customers from using custom ringtones and only those from the iTunes store? Im so ready to just throw my phone... It's so much easier to transfer tones over using an android phone since I dont have to use some stupid software by android and sync when i can just drag and drop.
    SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks in advance

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

  • When i make several enquires on the iPhone 6 purchase and I don't understand why Apple locked my ichat now ?

    Need answer to my question????
    When i make several enquires on the iPhone 6 purchase and I don’t understand why Apple locked my ichat now ?

    How can I make unpleased remark as I am an Apple supporter, my family own 2 macbook, 3 iPhone 5S and 2 iPad. What I did asked Apple during the last online chat was why can’t I buy the iPhone 6 till now, next was, why some re-seller Apple store in Singapore can reserve the iPhone 6 and some can’t. Today what I wished to asked was why China Apple site still can purchased iPhone 6 after few days of launch as for Singapore site only few hours of launch and till now nearly a month I still can’t purchased it? So is my enquire offensive to Apple online chat that they have to LOCKED my online chat??? The problem was Apple not even reply my past enquires.

  • I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser.  Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't.  I have had some that seem to go in but I can't find them.  Where should I look?

  • How do I add the USA store. I am logged in to UK store for past purchases and I don't want to lose them.

    How do I add the USA store. I am logged in to UK store for past purchases and I don't want to lose them.

    It is semantics, but most of us from the Americas consider we are Americans by virtue of the continents of our birth, as are folks from the other continents residents of that continent*. The word for folks from the US in Spanish is estadounidense, United Statesonians. In my mind I am soon to be Statesonian.
    *Aside from the fact that there is but one country on the continent of Australia and that the majority of Antaricans are penguins!

  • How come some of my JPG files show up broken and some don't in my assets panel?

    I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and when I create JPG files, some show up in the Assets panel of Dreamweaver and some don't.  I'm miffed as to why?  I've tried resaving them as JPGs to no avail.  When you try and insert the broken ones in Dreamweaver you just get the broken link box.  I've also tried to link to the source file to no avail.  So, please help!
    Dale

    Ben,
    Thanks for the video.  I learned some new stuff about the assets panel that I've been using.  However, the problem still remains.  Some of the JPGs that I've created in Photoshop CS6 show up fine and some don't.  The same happens with Illustrator.  I did find a workaround for this though.  If you open up the JPGs in Fireworks and create a slice over the image and then export the selected slice, it does show up in the assets panel unbroken.  So far it works every time.  I don't want keep going to Fireworks though.  Adobe needs to fix this problem.  In CS4, I never, ever had this problem.
    Thanks again Ben...

  • Some alerts get caught by eventaction and some don't ...

    Trying to find out why certain type of alerts get cought by eventaction and some don't.
    Got all kinds of voltage errors, warnings and such and those get all the way to our Tivoli gateway.
    I've disable a CPU on one of our box and i see it in the console but it never gets shipped to our Tivoli network.
    Now i've enable ALL the errors in the Action i've setup so i would get everything sent out. I'm starting to run out of places to look.
    If somebody has a clue or something (even documentation wise) i'm all for it.
    Thanks for you time.

    Hi eberthiaume,
    Already checked the log file ... its no where to be
    found and that what is bothering me .. pretty strange
    actually cause i can't see any filters on and i've
    setup the Action so it takes all event from all the
    servers every time and repeat each 10 minutes ....Do you mean the log doesn't exist at all, or that you never see your alarms in it?
    I'm guessing the log is there, but when you trigger alarms for some hosts they appear as an entry in the log (and go to Tivoli)... but alarms from other systems never make it to the log (and never get sent to Tivoli).
    Here's a simple test:
    1) Trigger an alarm on an Agent that you know alarms don't appear for in EventActionHistory.log
    2) After you trigger the alarm and see it light up in the Console, switch to the "Alarms" tab for that Agent.
    3) Look for your alarm in that tab (press the refresh button a couple times if it doesn't show up in a few seconds)
    If you see your alarm in the Alarms tab... but you don't see it in EventActionHistory.log within about 2 minutes.. then something is wrong (or misconfigured) with EventAction. If you don't see your alarm in the Alarms tab... then it's never making it into your SunMC Server's database... and there's something wrong with your Agent or Server. Go repeat steps 1-3 for an Agent that you've seen alarms from recently and confirm that if the alarm makes it to the Alarms tab it shows up in EventActionHistory.log soon after.
    EventAction feeds off of the SunMC Oracle database.... if alarms don't make it to the database they will never make it to Tivoli either.
    Based on what you find in the test steps you can decide if you should contact Sun support or Halcyon support.

  • I downloaded itunes update 10.5 and now all tunes I have downloaded from Walmart and Amazon don't play on my PC properly.  How can I fix this?

    I downloaded intues update 10.5 to my PC and now all the music I have downloaded from other venues, Walmart and Amazon don't play correctly.  How can this be corrected?  I am currently using windows XP. 

    I have an ITunes account.  I got it when I got my IPOD.  I've thought about upgrading, but I didn't see any reason to buy a newer IPOD because they all come with so much stuff I don't want/need.  I don't have my current IPOD filled yet and I really don't need an IPOD Touch that has capabilities that my Droid already has.  I don't need to be concerned with documents, mail, attaching to Facebook or playing games.  I can do all that on my phone.  I just want to maintain my music between 3 devices.
    So now that I see it is not to my benefit to have this product---can you point me in the direction to cancel this?  And how do I get my music back?  Will it show up once I cancel my account?
