Issue with songs downloaded from iTunes

Hello, I've downloaded all of my music from iTunes however, it seems that a lot of my songs no longer work. They come up in my playlist when I suffle my songs but they just get skipped over and when I try selecting them individually, nothing happens. Also, when I shuffle my music, the image and song title will come up but it will be an entirely different song playing. Does anyone know why this happens? This has been happening since March.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and 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 unticked.
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.

Wh can't I burn a disk with songs downloaded from itunes? It won't let me burn MP3 songs

I downloaded some songs from itunes and tried to burn them to a disk. When I tried to burn them as MP3 I got a message that the songs downloaded from Itunes can't be burned as MP3. Because I paid for the songs I'd like to be ablet o burn them to a disk. Any solutions?

The songs downloaded from the iTunes Store are in AAC format. If you wish to use them for an MP3 disc, you need to create an MP3 version using these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Note that the conversion process creates a new MP3 version, but leaves the original in the playlist. You can replace it manually.

Ipod classic skips with songs downloaded from itunes and mp3's.

I have an ipod 120gb classic, I listen to it in my van through my alpine car stereo, i found that it would start to play songs and then skip to the next song in the playlist, i thought it may have been the cable for the stereo that was the problem, 2 month ago i changed the stereo and the cables and with the brand new stereo the ipod is still skipping through songs which leads me to believe that its an ipod issue and not my alpine, is there anyway to correct this, as it is very annoying, i bought the ipod to avoid having cds and damagings them now the ipod is doing what cds do, skipping tracks, and then ive noticed for such an expensive investment, apple has not been able to resolve the problem.

I need to know more specifics about your problem.
Are your songs ending earlier than expected and the play count incrementing? If you push the back button to play the song again, does it end at the same premature time? Can you scrub (push the center select button once and then scroll) to a point 60 seconds after the songs cuts off and hear the remainder of the song play? If you listen to the same song on your computer and it plays fine all the way through and all of the above applies, then the problem is that iTunes is omitting a small amount of data in the midst of the data stream as it transfers files to the iPod.
Uncheck the song(s) ending too early; sync; check the song(s) ending early; sync. iTunes will then send a new copy of each song to the iPod. If any song on the iPod isn't repaired after this (and the point where the song cuts off may change), then repeating the process for any song which didn't get repaired should work.

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

Ive had my iPod classic for some time now, and up to now have been using my laptop to sync songs from iTunes. Unfortunatley, the laptop has died and I'm thinking of buying a iPad.....but how do i now get any songs downloaded from iTunes to my iPod?

If an iPod is set to update automatically it will be associated with a particular library. If you connect that iPod to a different computer or a different library on the same computer you get the the message you are referring to. "The iPod "iPod Name"is linked to another another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library". To use an iPod on multiple computers you change the update method to "manually manage songs and playlists". You can also use multiple iPods on a single computer so you will be able to connect both of your iPods to your existing iTunes. Connect the new iPod and follow the on screen instructions, iTunes will open and update your iPod.
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Songs downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod

Hi, maybe someone can help me. Recently I noticed that the songs I have downloaded from itunes are not playing on my ipod. They are working fine on my computer. As far as I know all my software is up to date and I even tried backing up my files and restoring my ipod, and the songs from itunes are still not playing. Is there something else I can do?

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

iPod does not play content purchased from the iTunes Music Store

Song downloaded from iTunes plays fine in iTunes, but only first 15 seconds will play on iPod then skips to next song?

Songs that I download from iTunes play ok in iTunes. On iPod classic though, SOME (but not ALL) of these downloaded songs will only play for 15 seconds or so before it skips to the next song. It is random in that some songs off the same album will do this, but others not. Any ideas?

Try this Hard Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Test the sound again.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If these songs are in MP3 format, google and download MP3 Validator and run through songs in the library.
Good Luck!

Syncing Issues with songs downloaded direct to my device

I have an ipod touch and have been downloading songs and apps directly to the device. Last night, I connected my ipod to the computer which houses my iTunes library. I downloaded an app (Currency Converter) an album and one single. Not only did none of the new dowloads get added to the device, any songs I downloaded direct to my iPod were added to my itunes library, but removed from the device itself. Additionally, when it was "syncing," it froze and said "Copying CodeBreaker." Some research shows that this may refer to an Oxford Translator I downloaded from iTunes ... but now i can't get my ipod to sync and I've lost over 120 songs that were previously on my ipod and are now being held hostage in my library. Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what I can do to get my ipod to actually sync and give me back my music??

Ipod skips only with songs purchased from ITunes

My Ipod skips with a handfull of songs that I purchased from ITunes. They play fine on my laptop, but my Ipod wont play the entire song. Some play for 2 minutes others play for 20 seconds. I can't get anywhere with help topics, and I went through the whole 3 R's list twice. HELP!! Thanks

Did you try carving a pentagram into the ground, filing it with gasoline, lighting it on fire, placing the ipod inside the pentagram, and then dancing around it naked while howling at the moon yet ?
I supose its possible that there were internet interuptions during the download of theese songs. Most computer soundcards have technology that eliminates skips by... skipiing the skips. If you have a problem like Goldwave (freeware), you can open the file and zoom in to look at the wav. If there are little holes, you can delete them and it will be seemless. This is something I have done in the past, but likely isn't your issue.
Sorry I cant offer a more definative answer.

HT201272 Only part of a song downloaded from itunes store

Only part of a song (the first 12 seconds) downloaded and I nothing in my download list. How can i download the entire song?

Hey AMumey,
That definitely sounds frustrating. I agree that this song may have not downloaded completely. See the following article:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country
Thanks,

Issue playing movies downloaded from iTunes on TV when linked to computer via HDMI cable.

Recently I purchased the advance digital copy of "Star Trek Into Darkness" as it was it was released just in time for moving some people into another state; we planned to watch it when we rested for the day. After hooking my windows 7 laptop up to a Samsung flatscreen TV using an HDMI cable, iTunes refused to play the movie. It would play when the computer was disconnected from the TV, and the same error would appear when reconnected. The error stated that I had to be connected to an "HDCP compatible device."
Is this some way of iTunes forbidding me from watching movies downloaded from their service when connected to an exterior device? My computer has no issues playing other content, such as netflix, when connected to a TV.
For me it's pointless to buy movies now from iTunes; I feel like I've wasted $20. Why on earth would I want to sit in front of a computer to watch it when there's a TV five times the size available?

Hello happylilvampyr,
Unfortunately, this is due to a lack of HDCP support provided by the TV in use. More information regarding HDCP can be found in the following article.
iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3354
As an alternative, you can always download the movie in standard definition, which will allow for viewing on non-HDCP devices.
When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

Issue with customer download from ECC 5.0 to CRM 5.0

Dear CRM gurus,
We are facing very strange problem regarding sales area and sales office in CRM 5.0 test system
During the download of an ECC 5.0 customer into CRM the BDOC is giving the following error - 'Sales office O 50000617 is not available' and 'Sales office O 50000617 sales group not maintained for sales area O 50000608 10 10'and Validation error occurred: Module CRM_BUPA_MAIN_VAL, BDoc type BUPA_MAIN.
I just select the BDOC and reprocess it immediately. Now the customer is downloaded into CRM and BDOC turns into green. I am also able to see the sales office and sales area in the downloaded CRM BP.
The sales office 50000617 is very much there in CRM and is properly assigned to sales area 50000608 10 10. That's why, I should be able to reprocess the struct BDOC successfully.
But for some reason the sales office is not getting determined first time during the download. This issue is driving me crazy. This only happens with the customers with sales office. If there is no sales office in ECC customer (i.e. the field is empty) then there is no issue. This customer will get downloaded without any error.
Also the downloaded material doesn't have the sales area data.
This issue doesn't happen in our development system. The only difference is, sales org structure in development system is manually created and it is downloaded from ECC in test system.
Can you please advice me on how to solve this issue?. It is a bit urgent.
All valuable inputs must be rewarded,
Regards,
Raj

Hi Gun,
You are the only one responded to my issue. I have allocated some points.
Yes. I have checked the assignment in CRM organizational model.
I did download the org. structure from ECC 5.0
All objects including sales offices are activated for determination and I have verified with green light
As per your suggestion if the sales area data is not matched between the two systems, then how come the error will not reappear during the bdoc reprocess?
What is missing during the first time bdoc process? Looks something is missing for validation module?
Any inputs?
Thanks,
Raj

Unable to burn CDs with music downloaded from iTunes store

It seems that quite a few people have been having problems burning CDs using iTunes 5 and 6, but I'd like to know how many people are experiencing the same problem that I am. iTunes will not burn any of my playlists featuring tracks downloaded from the iTunes store. Playlists free of iTunes downloads, whether they contain tracks I've imported from CD or other MP3 files, will burn fine. If I try to burn a playlist that features tracks purchased from the iTunes store, iTunes simply freezes up and I have to close it down with the Task Manager.
I've spoken the the Apple support staff in the UK, and they've advised me to try closing down my anti-virus software and removing other music download programs. I've done both of these, but no luck. I have a case number but before I call them back, I'd like to know how many other iTunes users have had the same problem, and whether they've found a solution.

I have that EXACT same problem! I have no idea what to do though, but it is very mucho frustrating. Let me know if you find out anything, and I will do the same.

Issue with file download from BLOB type data

i have been using this for a while, with no problems, including on hosted machines.
the upload to the database works fine.. not the issue, and the download script also works fine, on the local WAMP machine.
but once moved to the server it fails.. the query does not work.
i have a feeling that it is something to do with the managed hosting i am using, but they say no, i have tried it on 2 seperate hosted machines (different providers), with no joy.
if i run the select query on the hoisting server via phpmyadmin, the query runs ok.
any suggestions as to what may be causing the problem on the server compared to the local WAMP machine?
i really don't know where to start looking, or where to point the hosting company.
This is the php code to download the blob data, works fine on local WAMP setup, browser asks if you want to save the file/open etc. as expected.
<?php require_once('Connections/connTracker.php'); ?>
<?php
// if id is set then get the file with the id from database
if(isset($_GET['docindex']))
           {$id    = $_GET['docindex'];
        $query = "SELECT document_name, document_type, document_size, document_content " .
           "FROM tracker_documents WHERE document_index = ".$id;
*** seems to be failing here when running the query ***
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');
           list($name, $type, $size, $content) = mysql_fetch_array($result);
     header("Cache-Control: maxage=1"); //In seconds
   header("Pragma: public");
     header("Content-length: $size");
           header("Content-type: $type");
           header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
           echo html_entity_decode ($content);}
exit;
?>
