Hi, shrosie and feuquay!
I experienced a similar issue after updating to iTunes 10.5 and my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. Here's what I did to resolve the issue:
Connect your device
Click on your device on the left side of iTunes
Click the "Music" tab at the top of the screen
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click the "Sync" button to sync your device
After syncing has completed, check "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button again to sync your device
The steps outlined above worked for me and all my tunes and cover art are in order again. Hope it works for you!
Good luck!
Chris

Have a nice day!

I am having problems syncing recently recorded songs to my iPod. I am using an ion program to record vinyl records to iTunes. The songs are in the iTune library and will play on the computer. When I try to sync they show up but do not play. help

I am using an ion piece of equipment to record vinyl reccords to my iMac and in turn save them in iTunes. I have recorded many records this way and have never had a problem until yesterday. I recorded three songs from records to iTunes and was successful as they are on the song list and will play on the iMac. When I tried to sync them to my iPod they showed up on the menu but would not play. The iPod just skipped over the new guys. Am I doing something wrong or has my ion program flipped out? Any help would be appreciated by this old man. Thankyou

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

I had to reload all my programs after a hard drive problem. Now certain songs are skipped over or only play for a sec or 2 then it jumps to next song. all songs played before. Some are Itune bought and some are my old music.

I had to wipe my hard drive clean and reload all my programs. After reloading Itunes, I noticed that some songs will not play, they are skipped over, or the songs plays for 1-2 secs then it skips on to next song. Any ideas what I did wrong? All songs played before and some of affected songs are bought, some are my old library I copied off of CDs

I had been thinking that the hard dri've is starting to fail on me but then I thought about the fact that, If I play an MP3 and the player freezes up or starts jumping through the mp3 file, Then I restart the player and start the same MP3 agian and this time it plays normally, Is it really a hard dri've problem?
Could be a lot of things unfortunately, from corrupt firmware, corrupt format on the disk, a problem with the mainboard, or a problem with the hard disk.
I figure that if the hard dri've was damaged it would always freeze up on the same file at the exact same point in the music wouldn't it's
Not necessarily. It could be just an intermittent fault.
I want to Format my Zen Touch and reload the Firmware to start from scratch, but I first want to backup my 28 GBs of MP3 and WMA files. However I noticed that when I transfer the files to my hard dri've, all the ID3 Information is gone. Now adding ID3 info to 28GB of files will take days!
Strange. Did you edit the tag data on the player? If so what happens is the tag data changes are made in the Music Library but not in the files themselves. There's only one way to write the changes back and this involves getting a copy of MediaSource 3. You then transfer the files back to the PC Music Library, and use an update function to update the files (the PC Music Library will have the same tag data as the Music Library on the player). One problem is that MediaSource 3 is very large, and not available from Creative as a download. I can try and get a copy to you if you can't find it elsewhere.

HT203167 I just recently purchased an album on itunes and two of the songs will not play...what could be wrong?

Just purchased "of monsters and men" album and two of the songs do not play and they just skip to the next track. It shows that all songs for the album successfully downloaded....what could be wrong?!!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the 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.

I bought a song in ITUNES and had problem downloading it. I contacted support and they downloaded the song for me. Now when I try to play the song, I get a message saying my computer isn't authorized to play it. I try reauthorizing but that doesn't work, just keep getting the same message. Can anyone help?

ITunes 11.0.4.4 crashes when I play certain songs and the problem is spreading.

Ever since I downloaded iTunes 11.0.4.4 (for windows 7), the program has been crashing whenever I play certain songs and at this point the problem is spreading, more and more songs that weren't problems before. I have been through just about every troubleshooting step I could find more than once, reinstalling, safe mode, conflicting programs... if a solution out there was even vaguely related to my problem, I've probably tried it. The only modification that I've made to the program is enabling 1/2 star ratings, and I don't think that's the problem because the earlier versions of itunes worked fine with it, and I've tried temporarily moving the itunes preferences xml to make it generate a new one, and it didn't fix anything.
My library has over 14,200 tracks so I can't possibly delete and then re-add all the problem tracks to iTunes, and even if I could, I've tried doing that with a small number of specific songs already, and while it worked at first some of them have started making iTunes crash again at this point.
I understand that the problem is most likely that my library is corrupted, but I'm very wary of the solutions to that problem that I have seen because I have had to use them before more than once, and each of those times I've lost thousands of songs (last time it was 5,000 tracks) in the process and a shockingly large percentage of the tracks came back disorganized and improperly labeled (some of them as 4 letter strings of capital letters that I can't seem to identify without using shazam) and without ratings ( I have "keep iTunes files organized" and "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" in preferences checked.)
It takes a huge amount of time to redo the information for the amount of tracks I have even if you buy software to help automate it, and it would take me 5.7 days to redo all of the ratings I've done, and ratings are important to me. I've added a lot of new tracks since then and my library is still 2,000 tracks smaller than it was before i had problems last time. The solution scares me enough that I've put it with the crashing for two months now, but it's getting unmanageable. If anyone can give me a way to fix this that would leave my library intact, or at least minimize the damage, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks.

I found this and it worked!!!

Re: iTunes keeps crashing when I select iTunes store (Win 8) iTunes 11

I had this exact same problem. I found a fix on another support post that worked perfectly for me. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. Then browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. My iTunes store is working fine now.
God bless!!

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

When i play a song from my itunes library, there is a short "buzzing" sound about every 20-30 seconds. I had the problem before and thought it was fixed after verifying that itunes was my default player. Any ideas to fix the problem now??

I am having the same problem I have over 11.5 GB of .tmp files, many 1000s. Here is a thread I have found with some more info:

That thread is almost a year old so I'm not holding out hope for a fix from apple. I'm going to try deleting them and see how it goes...

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded on my iPad Mini and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

If the albums do appear in the Music app, hold down on the album icons and the X to delete will pop up on the icons. Tap the X to delete the albums.
You don't see a anything in iCloud, you see your previous purchases in the purchased tab of the store that you bought the content in. So you find your music purchases in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on your iPad. Tap on Purchased and look for the albums in the Not on this iPad section - assuming that you are able to delete the albums from the device.

I recently updated my iTunes to the new version. For some reason the titles and details of songs on the SONGS page do not appear, although the songs will play. Has anyone else had this problem? Every other page seems to be ok.

I recently updated my iTunes to the new version. When I opened it I found that there were no details listed on the SONGS page. On all other pages the relevant pictures/details appear. Although there are no details showing on the songs page, the songs are obviously there as when you click on a line it plays the song that should be listed. Has anyone else had this problem? (I am using a Windows XP Pro system on my Laptop).

Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?

Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
doubt there's an issue there.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
(and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
Thanks....

All my songs in my itunes only play for 5 seconds then goes to the next song. what is wrong and can i fix it?

please someone help me. All my songs in my itunes will only play for 5 seconds the go to the next song. What is wrong and how to i fix it?

ok so i just figured out that only the songs that i put on a usb drive to transfer them from my other computer are only playing for the 5 secounds so how do i fix that?

I installed itunes on my new Win7 machine and downloaded all my songs. Problem is when I go to my music and click on a specific song, it skips to the next sone or further on my list and does nto play the one I selected. Any ideas?

Problem is when I select a song in my library, it skips down the list and never plays the one I first selected.

thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!
