IPhone only pays part of a song then goes to another one

I purchased an MP3 album on Amazon and it downloaded directly to my iTunes (I didn't even know that was possible!) Anyway, there are 8 songs on it an I really like one in particular. I've been listening to it alot over the past couple weeks and today when I clicked on it, it started in the middle of the song, played one or 2 verses then went to the next song on the list.
I tried again and it did it again. While it's playing, if you click the back button, it will start over, but it still goes to the same place and stops.
Obviously, when I get home from work, I'm going to try to re-download it to my iPhone. Does anyone know why it would do this? It only does it to this one song only.

In case anyone was wondering, I found out what my problem was....sooo stupid...I had made the song in question a ringtone and when I synced the playlist, I put the ringtone version in it instead of the whole song. So when I played that song, it only played the 30 seconds I had edited out of it. Duh.

  • IPod Classic only syncs part of my songs, then grinds to a halt slowly

    Hi all,
    My iPod Classic (80 GB, almost 3 years old) and I are having beef. Every time I connect it to iTunes it starts syncing just fine, but then after X amount of songs it all of a sudden 'hangs' for a while and then pretends to continue at the gruelingly slow pace of about 1 song per 10 minutes. Eventually it stops all together and gives me the following error messages (excuse any bad translations, it's from Dutch):
    * "Copying to the iPod failed. Disk can't be read from or written."
    * "iTunes can't copy song X to the iPod because the file can't be read or written."
    It's a different song every time. After that iTunes completely freezes, the cursor beachballs to infinity and beyond and I have no choice but to just brutally disconnect the iPod. If I'm lucky there's some music on there, but not always. I now only sybc 1 measly playlist so he can manage it... Oh and the covers & songs are a mismatch (can be amusing when Stephen Fry's face shows up next to a QOTSA song).
    Also I've noticed that at the point of no return when the syncing slows, I hear some clicking and revving inside the iPod.. Tell me doctor, is the end nigh? But he's hardly three years old and my most beloved possession!
    Tried so far:
    * reverting to older iTunes
    * updating software
    * complete reset of the iPod

    I have a theory that it's tied to Snow Leapord and/or iTunes, probably something Apple did to disable Palm Pre phones from being able to sync with iTunes. I've never seen that confirmed though, so it might nto be. All I know is I've been having this problem for a long time. I just tried iTunes 9.2.1 on my Mac hoping Apple had finally fixed it, but alas they didn't.
    The solution I found? Get a PC and find an old version of iTunes. You give up some of the newer so-called features, and you've got to deal with a Windows box for your library, but at least the iPod will sync.

  • Music only plays for 15 seconds and then goes to another song

    I upgraded to ios 6. Since then, my old songs only play for 15 seconds. Anything purchased after the upgrade, plays the whole song.  Anyone ????

    Sure your gone for the day, but no luck. Still get 15 sec and then on to the next song.

  • Playlists disappeared and newly synced music only plays half through the song then goes silent

    happened yesterday and the "connect" option started appearing too. reloaded the app...no fix. any ideas, has this happened to anyone else? i am properly logged in with my premium account and i was not a member prior to 2011.

    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.

  • The music on my iPhone is WRONG, plays a different song when I click another one.

    I recently plugged in my iPhone 4S to sync music with my relatively new Macbook Air. I had a song that someone had sent to me (a mix, not from iTunes) that I wanted to add to my phone. When I (safely) unconnected my phone and checked it, I found that a playlist (with only 2 songs) I had created earlier had disappeared. I then checked another playlist (3 songs),the one that had my new song in it, and when I clicked play, it played the 2 songs from the playlist that had disappeared. Now, ALL my music is mixed up. It seems like music is one song behind the cover art but even when I click on the same song three times, it plays three different songs, none of which are the one I clicked. WHAT IS GOING ON??? I tried to resync it by taking all the music off my iPhone and then readding it but the same problem occurs. I even tried adding all my music manually and nothing changes. The music on my iTunes on my Macbook is fine. All my updates are done on both devices. PLEASE HELP!! Will be going in to the apple store this weekend if I can't fix it.
    ALSO, if a song plays to the end, it stops, even though it isn't on repeat and there are songs after it. It just gets to the end and freezes and I have to manually click the arrow to go to the next song.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (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 at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    Now it's Wednesday (2 days since I originally posted) & my iPhone appears to have finally restored all my apps, but it still says it's restoring from iCloud backup.  If all my apps are restored, what else could it be restoring?  IS it actually restoring anything at this point, or is it still in 'glitch' mode???  I've tried turning it off & back on & it continues to say that it's restoring.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them 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 they re-download 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 those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • I can't figure out how to get my music to shuffle on my iPhone 5s. If I try to skip a song, it skips about 100 songs. It only ends up playing 4 or 5 songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

    I can't figure out how to get the music on my iPhone5s to shuffle. If I use the arrows to skip a song, it shuffles through a handful of the same songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • How come itunes only downloaded part of a song?

    I bought a a couple of albums off of itunes and on one song (that i know of) on each album only plays part of the song. For example: if you have a 3:45 song it will only play 2:35 of the song and then it cuts off and moves onto the next song on the album. Can anybody help with this problem. I want my moneys worth. Thanks.

    Delete the tracks from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the tracks again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.
