ITunes ends purchased songs early

Why is iTunes ending songs early on all devices that were purchased from the iTunes Store. Products affected include: iPhone 4, iTunes for Windows, Gen 4 Nanos, Gen 2 Shuffle (aka every possible product Apple makes minus their laptops and desktops. I suspect this would happen with those as well. This a frustrating issue that Apple needs to resolve immediately or provide their consumers their money back.

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.

Is it possible to sync and share iTunes (specifically purchases,songs,playlists) with 2 computers having their own apple id? ,movies

Is it possible to sync, combine and share iTunes (specifically purchases,songs,playlists) with 2 computers having their own apple id?
I have been trying to find the answer to this for awhile now.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Song from iTunes ends 48 seconds early

I downloaded Feeder's "Miles Away" from iTunes store. My iTunes registers the song is 3.48 but the song cuts off and skips to the next track at 3 minutes. Is there anyway I can fix this?
Using Windows 7

That usually results from a download problem. You can download a fresh copy (at no charge) per this guide:

In the unlikely event that the new copy has the same defect, contact iTunes Customer Service:

Upgrade iTunes, lost purchased songs

Recently, I upgraded iTunes (10.1.1.4). The first sync after upgrading, I was prompted to replace the library(?) on the phone. The old library(?) was backed up before the upgraded library was installed. But now, all my purchased songs are gone. I've searched my computer, but no luck. I've never lost files on my computer.
-Could they be hidden?

Possibly, but an itunes update has never deleted my music or purchases, and it's not supposed to.
They might also be in the itunes library, but just not listed in the "Purchased" playlists.
Try this, get the copy of your itunes database file from before the upgrade. iTunes puts it in a folder named Previous iTunes Libraries. Follow these steps but in #7, copy & paste that file instead of dragging it.

Cannot play iTunes store purchased songs when offline.

Yesterday my cable was out for several hours and the iTunes for Windows XP said it was unable to play my purchased songs from the iTunes music store which I've had on my computer for months now because the iTunes account had to be activated. When the cable internet came back on it worked fine. What is the problem with playing my purchased music offline? I've paid for it!

I am trying to use my Apple TV on a boat and do not want to take my computer with me.
Apple TV is not connected to the internet.
I had this working briefly then it stopped with the upgrade to the iPad software.
Apple had me exchange the original ATV thinking it was a hardware issue but now the video will not open.
Airplay will play music from my iPad or iPhone thru the ATV.
When I go to play a slide show from the iPad of albums I have synced the ATV shows 3 slides real fast and then crashes.

ITunes removing purchased songs

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'v noticed the same error messages that others have recently, the one that states I dont have enough privelages and the second saying that iTunes has encountered an error when downloading which I figured was something to do with my computer, obviously this isn't the case. I'v also noticed that songs I have purchased and downloaded are also disappearing a few days after purchase. It originally happened with the new xfactor song, I contacted iTunes and they re-imbursed me for it but its now happened to two more songs I have purchased in the last few weeks. The files extenetions are still there (e.g. Music>iTunes Music>Nickelback>All the Right Reasons) but the song file itself is gone without it being deleted. Is anyone else having this issue? or does anyone know how to fix it?

Have done - and it syncs these playlists just fine. However, it also leaves and purchased songs on my iPhone and puts them back if I delete them on the device itself (swipe and delete in the 'Music' app).

Itunes new purchased song not on iphone, itunes new purchased song not on iphone

Just purchased a new song on my Ipod. Idoes not show up on my Ipod but does show up in Itunes as new purchase on my PC.

You can download previously purchased songs to your phone as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.

ITunes frequently ends a song early.

I've checked the possible reasons provided by Apple, no change. Many of the songs were purchased in the iTunes store, others were ripped from CD. Running iTunes 10.7.0.21 under Windows 7.

If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (check this with iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
If you cannot download a second time, contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,

ITunes library mysteriously dissapeared (not the actual files where they are stored) and once I transfered songs back to iTunes, some purchased songs had been corrupted (missing tags

Last week, I purchased around 9-10 songs. The previous day, I had played songs from my iTunes library... everything working normal. The day after purchasing those 9-10 songs... I noticed that my entire songs in my library (and playlist) where gone, essentially being re-set like new. I updated my iTunes version, re-started my PC and still... nothing was showing up except those 9-10 songs. I did the next logical thing which was to check the actual music folder that stores the songs. They where all there. It did not make any sense as I had not done or noticed anything unsual while using iTunes before. Now, I want to mention that I use a DJ software (mixvibe) with the ION Discovery DJ that pulls tracks from iTunes. For the past couple of months they both have worked great. Fast forwarding to my issue, I went ahead and copied all the music back to iTunes. I spent a good hour making sure that everything worked and re-created my playlists. One thing that struck me as odd was that while checking everything... some songs that I had purchased recently and even a couple of months ago that I've used on my mixvibe software... had the track info deleted. The only information was the track name, ex. (01 - Bird One). For some reason, they were dumped into a "Unknown Artists" file. There was a good 20-25 songs that had this issue. The one thing that I noticed was that when I would highlight the song within the Uknown Artist folder... All of the information including cover art was showing up at the bottom of the folder (if you are familiar with Windows 7 you know what I'm talking about). How can it be that all of the actual information was still there yet not showing up in iTunes? I had to manually go one by one of those 20-25 songs and add all of the track info (as much as I could). I was also able to recover some of the cover art but not all. It seems like the files got corrupted. Can I re-download these tracks again or how can I get them to how they were originally? HELP!

I find the best way to do this is to right click on the song in iTunes and convert then select convert ID3 tags to V1.1 this usually completes the tag and adds all the missing info, provided it is in iTunes corectly.
Were these songs you Dled or ripped form a cd directly?

Itunes deleting purchased songs

For some reason itunes has started to move my purchased (itunes store) songs to my PC recycle bin. I don't know if this is realated but it started happening after I began to download and load more podcasts onto my ipod. Does anyone know what the problem is??

I don't know why Apple defenders make this so complicated. There are literally youtube videos out there of iTunes deleting music/video files. I have had it happen so many times that I stopped using iTunes and Apple's media service all together.
iTunes, not some other windows application as I have seen here, is deleting files. I have seen iTunes crash when trying to open a music/video file and have seen it disappear from an open Finder window. And for the record I have never had Window Media Player ever delete a file from my PC.
I have also noticed my non-purchased music disappearing slowly over time especially each time iTunes loses connection with my NAS, don't ask me how a mac running 24/7 connected to a network via an ethernet cable can lose connection to a NAS that is just an apple thing my Windows machines have no issue, several non-purchased deletions occur.
I think Apple has a serious code issue on their hands, application crashing should never cause data loss, but we will see if they are more interested in defending apple's reputation or taking care of their customers.

Receipts from Itunes for purchasing songs, etc. with a prepaid card?

I don't understand this at all. I had purchased a prepaid card for Itunes and put it under my account. Whenever I purchase something from Itunes, it deducts it from the card, yet I am getting a receipt everytime I purchase something. Apple is not taking it out of the credit card that was put in, along with the prepaid card, are they?

You get an invoice even if you purchase something with the prepaid card. It's the same as if you were to go to the grocery store with a gift card - you still get a receipt.

Sharing iTunes Store purchased songs with brother

I used to easily be able to send my brother a song file, via email, and he could open it, because he was "authorized" on my account. Lately, when he enters my password, it won't open for him. I double-checked the password and it should work correctly.
Anyone know what else it could be? He should be authorized.

Are you serious? I thought I could have authorized people on my "list" who I can share it with.

I forgot my security questions for itunes to purchase songs. Can I change it?

Since upgrade, unpurchased songs no longer playing in car. Skips to purchased songs only. Anything I can do?

Any help greatly appreciated. Years ago I downloaded some music and have been playing it for some time. Car, computer everywhere.
Now since doing the upgrade in October I can no longer play this music that was not purchased, just downloaded.
Skips ahead and will play only purchased songs.
Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks very much

I completely agree with you on it not being easy to get a list of purchases from account info. It's completely ridiculous that one can't cut/paste from that list. If you happen to have saved the confirmation emails, you can at least cut/paste from those.
itunes menu > help > provide itunes feedback
If enough people ask for it, maybe they'll change it on the account info page.
let's back up, though...are you putting these songs back into itunes after a PC reformat?
One thing to do, create a smart playlist with criteria "kind contains protected". Select all items in that smart playlist, and drag it to the green purchased playlist. Press the Skip button if you see it, so you won't get duplicates. That will add all newer itunes-plus purchased songs.
Then change that smart playlist criteria to "kind contains protected". That will add older non-plus songs.
