IPOD skips Itunes Purchased Music

If someone else has this problem and has fixed it please let me know!!
I am on my second IPOD mini. This one is having the same problem so I have deduced that it is in my ITUNES. I have only purchased music from ITUNES. The problem is that everytime I update my ipod it works about 2 or 3 uses then all of the purchased musics starts skipping and it will only play songs that are from a CD. I don't understand? Help if you can.!

Please someone - It has been 5 days since I asked Itunes for an answer and of course gotten no response.

  • IPod skips over purchased music

    I have a weird problem with my iPod, and I was hoping someone here could help me with it.
    Every couple of weeks, my iPod goes through this weird stage. It will not play any of the songs I purchased from iTunes. I can click on them normally, but then it just skips over all of them instead of playing even one second. It plays all the songs from CDs and songs I had on my computer before just fine, but NONE of the songs I've purchased from iTunes.
    Another weird part is that whenever I hook the iPod up to the computer, the problem goes away. But this doesn't help much, because I'm going to be away from my computer for most of the summer, and I would like a working iPod. Most of my files are from iTunes, too.
    I know this is a really weird problem...I couldn't find anything on the apple FAQ, etc, so I'm sure it's not common. If anyone could help me with it, though, I would reallllllly appreciate it. Can anyone tell me why it does this, or (most importantly!!!!!!!) how to prevent it?

  • ITunes wiped all but iTunes purchased music from my iPad mini and my iPod nano instead of transferring the cd uploads into iTunes. Is there any way of recovering my music.  Very disappointed!

    Initially things worked fine. I was very pleased. I had my music library in itunes, on my Ipod nano, and a thumbdrive to back up most of my music.
    When I tried to sync the music from itunes onto my new ipad mini last week it deleted the albums in itunes leaving me with only purchased itunes items in the account, On the new Ipad mini CD's from my collection could not be played but they were in fact listed. My new mac will not read the music files I backed up onto a thumb drive or show the uploaded CD music collection. Additionally when I logged into itunes with out any devices connected from my PC the itunes account was completely up to date with my CD's and purchase items in Itunes. As soon as I tried to sync it with my Ipad mini that virtual access to the collection was wiped out leaving only purchased items.
    By trying to upload CD music from my Ipod nano into Itunes (originally uploaded into itunes from CD's and  synced to the ipod nano in the first place, taking more than a weeks time), I am prompted to reset the entire ipod nano to factory settings (it gives no other option).  I was following the instructions emailed to me from the applecare team. This was my only recourse for recovery of the lost music files, the only device left that had my album collection aside from the owned CD's. Now the ipod nano is being wiped clean and left with only the itunes purchased music ( same thing that happened with the itunes account and now the Ipad). When I disconnect the ipod nano to see if there are any albums still left on the device, it gives me an error that it was improperly disconnected.
    I just wanted to add the music from itunes to my new mac and the new ipad mini. Instead I have lost all of my uploaded CD's and now have only purchased items in itunes, the new ipad mini, the new mac, and the ipod nano.  I have to  re-upload my entire music library into itunes/icloud from CD's again and hopefully be able to then sync it with my new devices.
    However it may be better to buy the itunes purchased music on CD's from a store, Cut my losses while I can and never buy anything from apple or itunes again. Atleast I will not have my entire music collection wiped out for moving it between my own devices. Itunes match doesn't do **** either. I have wasted alot of hard earned cash on devices products and itunes purchases by converting to apple products and services.
    What a big mistake.
    Very dissapointed with the interface. Very Very Dissapointed!

    Had the same issue when I changed computers.  I backed up my I-tunes files, including CDs, but I-Tunes will not recognize anything but Apple purchases now.  There were 300+ CDs in that original catalog.

  • I have an IPOD Classic with purchased music and i want to sync it with my itunes account but I keep getting the message your device is synced with another PC. How do I resolve this issue?

    I have an IPOD Classic with purchased music and I want to sync it with a different PC but I get the message your device is synced with another PC.  How do I resolve this issue? I don't have the previous PC.

    I want to sync it with a different PC
    On that PC, launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer.

  • I can't download itunes purchased music from my library to my 4th generation nano ipod.

    I can't download my itunes purchased music from my library to my 4th generation nano ipod.

    An iPod Touch is not a backup/storage device. You should have been maintaining a backup of your personal data on an external HDD using Time Machine or other backup software of your choice.
    However, there are ways to "recover" the music:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    Once you have recovered the music I strongly suggest you purchase an external HDD and start using Time Machine to keep a backup of your personal data.

    Hi kimcinma!
    Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

  • Best backup of iTunes purchased music: not cd, or dvd

    let's say you have 30 gigs of iTunes purchased music. what's the best backup if you can't choose cd or dvd? i'd figure another iPod would be the answer. any opinions on the matter much appreciated.
    ipod_madness

    If you don't want CD or DVD then another hard drive is the best bet. Get on of the external drives commonly available. Preferably get a drive with a fast connection that you can use like eSATA, Firewire, or USB2. After that simply copy from your current location to the external. Another option would be to use backup software so you only have to backup changed files.

  • I cant access any of the content that was in my music library that was set up on my old destroyed laptop. so Home Share cant be used.  Is there a way to pull all of the music content, not just iTune purchased music from my 4th Gen Nano back into iTuunes?

    I cant access any of the content that was in my music library that was set up on my old destroyed laptop. so Home Share cant be used.  Is there a way to pull all of the music content, not just iTune purchased music, from my 4th Gen Nano back into my new iTunes set up on my new home compter?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music sync is one - way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.

  • ITunes Purchased Music Won't Play

    OK, I must be doing something wrong. I sync my iPhone and it gets all the music I had selected. But I've discovered a number of songs that won't play...and these just happen to be iTunes purchased music! My regular mp3's will play.
    Now I know the purchased songs work because they play on my Nano and Shuffle2. The purchased songs also play in iTunes.
    Any ideas?
    And a second question...I've downloaded a few TV shows which play fine in iTunes but do not play on the iPhone. Is there a "trick" to playing my purchased music and video on the iPhone?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi!
    I discovered that my purchase music and videos stopped playing when I went into a Tully's coffee shop and attempted to access their Wi-fi network. I don't know if this was the cause of me losing access to my purchase music, but this is when the problems started. When I got home today I unloaded all the music playlists off of my iphone using itunes, and then I added them back in and re-synced. This seem to do the trick. I can now listen to all of my purchased music and watch my purchased videos. Give it a try. I hope that we don't have to do this sort of thing all the time.

  • HT1386 Some iTunes purchased music no longer plays on my phone 4s.

    Recently my Iphone (which I have had for almost a year with no issue) 4s filled its memory with "Other" and it was coded yellow on the status bar.... This "other" filled my entire 32 gig phone which didnt allow any other information to be stored.  I resynced my phone to factory settings to try and reset my phone.  Once I did that the "other" was gone but now a good portion of my itunes purchased music no longer plays on my phone. I dont have iTunes sharing so thats not the issue....My other iPhone 4s is fine and all music plays ok....

    Try syncing all the music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then back on.

  • Unable to listen to iTunes purchased music after swaping shell.

    My Dell D600 computer broke down. No big surprise coming from that model. I had the shell swapped and kept the same hard drive, but can no longer listen to the songs I purchased from iTunes. This even includes new downloads since the swap. All of the music I uploaded from CDs works just fine.
    I receive the following to error messages:
    1. This computer is not authorized to play "Song Name". Would you like to authorize it? (I enter my password and click "Authorize">)
    iTunes accesses Music Store
    2. Then I receive "We could not complete your Music Store request. An unknown error occurred (-208).
    This has happened every time since I have swapped my shell. Each time I have been online (I even downloaded new music one time from iTunes) and have tried from multiple locations - office, wireless, home. I cannot listen to any iTunes purchased music. Any ideas other than going to Best Buy for CDs??? Thanks!

    Spyder 282:
    If you are running a version of iTunes older than iTunes 6.0.4, the first thing to do is update to 6.0.4. Choose About iTunes from the Help menu in iTunes. If you are already at 6.0.4, or if updating does not help, the next thing to try is to deauthorize your computer for the iTMS account using the Deauthorize Computer option in the Help menu. Then play of the iTMS songs and re-enter your authorization info.

  • Converting iTunes Purchased Music to MP3

    I have been reading the posts about not being able to changed the iTunes purchased music to MP3 format. I understand that the only way to do it is to burn the purchased music to a disc and then once it is burned, import it back into iTunes. I can't get it back into iTunes without the protection. Do you go to iTunes then to import? Help!!

    I FINALLY figured it out!!!! Sometimes I am sooo
    slow! Thanks for your help!
    Its not your fault. The French are considering making Apple
    behave responsibly and allow use of iTunes music on any
    audio player.
    The requirement to burn to CD and re-import just so I can
    use a non-Apple music player....well, it looked good to legal
    and why should Apple care about anything else.
    It's not really fair to expect a company with Apple's reputation for
    innovated ways of serving generally accepted needs to keep it up
    forever. Or is it?
