Iphone refuses to play some songs

It only happens with one artist, i have 3 albums by them and when i go to shuffle all the songs, it only plays one album, and when i go to use any of the other albums, it'll play that song and then the rest will be the other album, what can i do? It's getting annoying.

Yeah, what i've found is that it's only songs that i've brought on my iPhone through iTunes.

  • Iphone 4 iOS 7.1.1 can't play some songs

    All of a sudden I can't play some songs on my Iphone 4.  I have iOS 7.1.1.  Some of the songs are grayed out and have the download progress square within the circle icon next to them.  Tried syncing with ITunes on my pc but get an error "!" next to the same songs.  ITunes defines this icon to mean that the song could not be found as it may have been deleted or moved.  Anyone have any ideas?

    durrrrr. nevermind. re-installed itunes and it looks good for now.

  • My iphone 4 does not play some songs, that previosly it did

    My iphone 4 does not play some songs, that previosly it did

    Im having a similar problem since i upgraded to IOS5, ive read on other forums that some people's music hasnt even showed up, so they did a soft reset (turned it off and on again) which worked for them.
    It didnt for me, i have found some of the songs will play if i press the repeat once button, but this isnt really fixing the problem.

  • I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password.  HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

    I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password.  How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

    In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
    I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
    In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Ipod Classic 160 Gb refuses to play several songs.

    Hi
    i´m long time reader , first time "complainer".
    I had an Ipod 4G then 5.5 Video 80 Gig and had no problems with them.
    All songs in my library were played without any glitches.
    Ipod classic simply refuses to play some of them.
    Those songs are very "old" i ripped them with a decoder called lame long time ago.
    4G and 5.5 G Ipods played them and itunes still dose but Ipod classic don´t.
    I chose a song and Ipod simply stops i mean not freezes just stops playing. I can move forward and back in song and i can see "play" symbol in upper right corner but the progress marker dont move and i dont hear any sound.
    Is here someone with a similar problem ?
    i´m sorry for my bad english.

    If those Files are ripped in .mp3 (this is what I guess) you may try to convert them to .mp3 again. There is a Tool called dbPowerAmp which is shareware, but I think, a free demo is available. With this Tool, I once repaired some Songs that where ripped with Lame. My old Player MusicMatch said, their are curpted. iTunes played them well. So just try to reconvert your files from .mp3 to .mp3.
    By the way: The Format .aac is not a bad one.

  • I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back?

    I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

    Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

  • Just downloaded an album, will let me play some songs, but others are asking for me to authorize my computer. When I enter Use ID and password, comes back and says computer is already authorized. Why will it let me play some songs and not others?

    Has anyone downloaded an album from iTunes Store, once downloaded, will let you play some songs, but others is asking you to authorize your computer. When I go through those steps, it tells me that the computer is already authorized, but still will not let me play certain songs??

    If just some of the tracks on the album are giving you that message, that suggests that those tracks are damaged.
    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.

  • TS1362 I downloaded two cd's last night and I am un able to play some songs cause it tells me I am this computer is unauthorized to play some songs,I did what it said about going to store to get authorized and still will not work,not happy at all!

    I downloaded two cd's last night and I am un able to play some songs cause it tells me I am this computer is unauthorized to play some songs,I did what it said about going to store to get authorized and still will not work,not happy at all!  I NEED HELP OR MY MONEY BACK NOW!

    There seems to be an occasional issue with downloads from the store. They prompt for authorization when they are in fact corrupt/incomplete in some fashion. Try deleting the problem tracks (do not hide from iTunes in the cloud), close iTunes and reopen, go to iTunes Store > Qucklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer. Select a few tracks to download then click the icon that appears at the top-right of the iTunes window.. Untick the box that reads Allow simultaneous downloads. Proceed with the rest of your eligible purchases.
    If you still have a problem use the Report a problem links in your account history to contact the iTunes Store support team.

  • I'm unable to play some songs I purchased from itunes store.

    I've purchased some albums from the itunes store but I'm unable to play some songs.

    Hey Tmotsamai!
    Try deleting the purchases in question from your iTunes library, then re-downloading them from the past purchases list on your iTunes account:
    Download past purchases

  • I had a hard drive crash so replaced it and now iTunes does not recognize the computer as authorized to play some songs in my playlist.  help

    I had a hard drive crash, replaced the hard drive and now iTunes does not recognize or authorize my iMac to play some songs.  help

    iCloud Backup is for your iPad, not for your computer.
    Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
    Here is the procedure for your reference.
    On a computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    "Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
    Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past.

  • My iPhone 3G only plays one song

    My iPhone decided to play one song over and over instead of the designated playlist like it had been. I can advance to another song if I press forward, but the playlist will not play. Also, there are no Looping-like symbols nor shuffle symbols that had always appeared. Any ideas?

    I am having the same problem. My iPod on my iPhone only plays the song I select and it not automatically play the next song in the playlist. Shuffle does not work either. I have to actually hit the forward button which is incredibly annoying - especially when using it for my runs! I've tried settings on the iPhone, I've changed controls on my iTunes account on my computer and synced. Nothing works. Help!!! I'm running a 1/2 marathon this Sunday and I have to get this working before then!

  • My iPhone 4 no longer plays some songs since iOS5 update, how can i get these songs playing again

    So ever since I installed iOS5 onto my iPhone 4, some of my music wont play (not all, but some), what will happen is, while on shuffle, my music will play a song normally, then get to a song that it for some reason cannot play and either
    a) plays another song, without changing the information about the song, then when the second song is finished playing under the first song's name, it gets to the second song's actual information and stops playing and moves to option b
    b) does not play the song, does not skip the song, but has the play icon in the corner next to the battery, but it doesn't show any time going by on the progress bar of the song, but drains my battery
    when i shake my iPhone after this (i.e. activates the automatic shuffle) if it happens to land on a song it can play, it skips to the next song.
    It is incredibly inconvienient, and i understand that a new operating systems do have bugs, but I would like to be able to fix it as soon as possible
    thanks for the help

    I found a solution recently, (and well, this is the only apple product I own, so i didn't think to post it) basically what you do is follows
    when your iphone is plugged in and you have itunes open, go to the phone page, then to the music page, select sync with library, but then select certain playlists. After that select none of the playlists (removing the music from your phone) and sync, then sync again with the playlists you want selected, and voila! Takes an hour or 2, but you can do it in the background of whatever else you are doing.
    Cheers

  • Iphone 5s refuses to play purchased songs

    Since syncing my Iphone 5s to my computer (Lenovo ideapad), my iphone won't play my purchased songs. Before I had synced my phone, I was just playing my purchased material from the iCloud backup of my old 4s. (My computer's screen was being repaired when I bought the 5s). As soon as I synced my phone to my laptop the problems began. If I click on a purchased song (or come across one on shuffle) it simply skips ahead until it finds a song I song I burned from a CD. I have to click the back button and basically force it to play the song. I'm frustrated and have no idea how to fix it. Can anyone help?
    Some key points/things I've tried:
    -All of my purchases are in my itunes library on my computer and the computer plays them fine.
    -I tried transferring all purchases just in case. It only transfeered the new apps on my phone.
    -Show all Music is turned off on my phone
    -I don't have itunes Match
    -None of the purchases are hidden.
    -The itunes app on my phone says they are all downloaded to the phone, not on the cloud
    -Sometimes there will be a little gray, dotted circle next to some songs under the On this Phone tab, but that seems to have gone away for the moment. (Maybe as a result of shutting off show all music?)
    -I have 3GB of free space, so its not a storage issue

    Yeah, what i've found is that it's only songs that i've brought on my iPhone through iTunes.

  • ITunes on my phone is no longer playing some songs, even those I have purchased with my phone.  They will play fine on my pc itunes.  I also cannot remove the audio books that are on my phone and add others and the audio books on my phone will not play.

    I am unable to play new songs purchased on my phone and some old songs on my ipod/iphone.  They all work fine in iTunes on my computer.  I also cannot remove the audiobooks from my phone when I sync even though I have unchecked said books, and I cannot play them either.

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.
