I transfered my music to my new computer and when i play a previously purchased song it stops about 40 seconds before the end of the song...can anyone explain this to me?

I got a new computer so I transfered all my old music to my new iTunes. When I play a song I have purchased on a previous computer, the song stops playing after 40 seconds or so before the song ends. What's the deal?

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.

https://discussions.apple.com/message/17661693 - issue resolved by re-downloading files or rebuilding library file [note, although the poster says this restored all, my understanding is the .xml file does not retain all the details of the original library file].

Have a new computer and want to down load previously purchased movies how do i do this

I have a new computer and want to down load previously purchased movies but can't find them. How do I do this.

Install iTunes. Login with your apple ID and click "iTunes store". Click "purchased" on the right and you should see all previously purchased content to download.

When I add a new computer, how do I download all previously purchased songs to it?

I have added a new computer to my system and I can't seem to access previously purchased songs. Help, please!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I'm trying to redownload my music onto a new computer and its not working..I think I may have two accounts open because the one im signed into is empty and I cant remember my log in info..and when I reset it it doesnt help.

I got a new lap top and I was trying to re download my music to the new one and it's not working. I think I may have to accounts open because its saying mine hasnt been active in a while and I know thats not true...and there is no music in the library it's all empty...is it possible to have two accounts open? if so how do I cancel one. and keep the other....

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

Transfering bought music onto a new computer?

I just bought a new computer and when I plugged in my ipod it asked to transfer bought music. I clicked yes and then it said it couldnt transfer any of my bought stuff becuase it says it's not authorized to play on this computer. Any one have an idea of how to fix this??

The instructions are in the link I provided:
"To authorize a computer to play purchases using your Apple Account
Select a song, video, or audiobook you've purchased (in your library or the Purchased playlist).
Click the Play button.
If the computer is already authorized, the item plays. If the computer has not yet been authorized, iTunes asks you to enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the song."

I moved all of my music to my new computer and now my ipod touch stops the song at end of it why and how do i fix it easily

i moved all of my music to my new computer and now the songs stop before the end of them or it skips to the next one on the ipod how can i fix it easily

Assuming your library was in the standard layout before you started move the rest of the iTunes folder to the root of the external drive, move the iTunes Media folder inside it, and shift-start iTunes to connect to library file at \iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
See Make a split library portable for some background.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The music is stored on the iTunes library. This library isn't deleted when you uninstall or reinstall iTunes, so you will keep everything. Anyway, it's better to make a backup of the library. Apart from that, you can download the purchased music as many times as you want

I switched my music to a new computer and all the music doubled how can I get rid of 4500 duplicates

I switched my music to a new computer and all the music doubled how can I get rid of 4500 duplicates songs? Will Music Match get rid of the extras for me?

The iPod is not a storage device, all songs should reside on a computer and you can only sync to one machine. However, if these songs were purchased from iTunes you can reload them (see link). If not, and you have no backup, then they are gone.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

I have a new computer and I am trying to find a link to download photoshop elements premier 11 the link I was sent by the tech only shows what I need...what I need is an actual download button

This is actually the Photoshop forum. Premiere Elements forum is here
Premiere Elements
I assume you realise that 11 is not the current version, which is now up to 12
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements&loc=us
And if yes, that you had 11 installed on your last computer? Did that come on a disk or download? If disk, have you now lost that disk?
If yes, and you registered your software, log on to your Adobe account, and find My Orders (or similar). You may find the download link and your serial number there.

I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

There are two steps when entering a serial number:
When you enter it in the 24-digit field, you should see a green checkmark. If you see a red x, you may have mis-typed the number, as Ben pointed out, it could be for a suite instead of a standalone product.
If it takes the number and installs, then activation is the next step. If it fails to activate, you may have exceeded your activations or the number might have been retired.
In that case, contact Customer Care with proof of purchase.

If you are in the USA (is that Pearland, Texas), with iTunes 10.3 and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.
Here are the instructions: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, which is available here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Then try following the steps in this Apple article to create an account without a credit card -> Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
