Hi Cmathews,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You might want to check out Knowledge Base Document #93453 which covers Can't Import or Play Music from CD in iTunes for Windows.
Since this is the iPod Nano Forum, and you are having problems with iTunes; I bet the iTunes for Windows Forum will help more. You can search for previous posts as well as post there with questions about iTunes for Windows.

Any idea why itunes is only downloading part of each song I purchase?

Any idea why itunes is only downloading part of each song I purchase?

Not really, a bug I suspect...
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.

HT1386 Approximately 15 songs and one iBook I recently purchased did not sync properly, I tried doing it three times, only 20 seconds of each song would play, and the book is blank! Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Approximately 15 songs and one book I recently purchased did not sync properly. Once I hooked
It up to my iTunes, they will only play 10 seconds from her song, and the book is blank. Any suggestions?

OK. I managed to fix this. That's what I did:
1. In Finder, make copy the audio files that won't synchronize.
2. Rename the files e.g. appending a "2" at the end of the name.
3. Import the files in iTunes (drag and drop from Finder into iTunes' Library)
4. Rename the album in iTunes (e.g. also append a "2" at the end of the album's name)
5. Put the new files in a Playlist and synchronize
After that I removed the original files and changed the names back so that the copy is like the original was before.
I suppose the important thing is to make iTunes "think" that those are new files. Note that I did remove the files from iTunes and add them back without renaming or copying and it did not work. I supposse that the copying and/or renaming is important.
Hope this helps.

Will

Itunes only imports a few seconds of each song. Help.

I just loaded up my Itunes software, and tried importing some of my CDs into my Itunes library. But it only transfers a few seconds of each song before moving on to the next one.
Does anyone know how to correct this? I've reinstalled the software once already, but nothing changed.
Thanks.

I have the same problem on 1 PC but it imports OK on Itunes installed on my laptop.

Itunes only imports a few seconds of each song

Hi ... i'm really struggling with this problem!
whenever i import a song from a CD, itunes only imports a few seconds of each song and moves onto the next .. so on & so forth. It only take a few second to completely import the entire CD.
However the 'imported' songs don't play ... itunes just whizzes thru all the songs in 2 sec. the time duration for each song is '789:57:13'.
this has occurred a few times in the past but seems to be fixed by a restarting my mac or reloading itunes from the .dmg file. which can be very annoying to say the least!
I need a more long term solution! any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Cheers

I'm importing from 'factory' CDs .... i've deleted Itunes and reloaded it again and it seems to be ok, but from experience its not gonna last ...... the last time i had to shut down and restart 4 times to get it to work!
Frustrating ....... not to say the least!
Help!

Just brought the MacPro and first time using iTune and Yes I authorized the computer. But for a few purchased songs, only 30 seconds of the song plays and for one song off an album, a pop comes up saying I need to authorized the computer, but I do this and it says it is authorized already. I click on the song to play it and this process repeat (saying it is not authorized, then saying it is already authorized)

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy 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.

TS1424 itunes only downloaded part of a song I purchased. How do I correct that?

itunes only downloaded part of a song I purchased. How do I fix it or get a refund?

Other people have been having similar problems with songs for a few 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 it from your iTunes library and redownload it 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 it re-downloads 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 that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

hi y'all!
it's worth checking through the usual suspects first. (the upgrade may have "outstripped" your current hardware/OS/driver setup.) Start with:

- You can redownload most iTues puchases b:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

---- Connect the iPod t the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up

HT204406 ITUNES MATCH Windows 7 Error message on upload (Step 3) from PC - 3 times get "Windows close program [iTunes]" with only 30-50 of 500+ songs. Help!

ITUNES MATCH - Need help. Windows 7 Error message on upload (Step 3) from PC - 3 times get "Windows must close program [iTunes]" with only 30-50 of 500+ songs. Anyone have this issue of iTunes crashing?

Exactly the same problem here. As far as I can see this problem has been around since Match was first released with no action from Apple to rectify it. I've spent days trying to get this to work now and unless I get a fix soon, I'm going to pull my Match membership and ask for a refund because this is not what I signed up for...

I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and won't play

I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and wont play the rest of the song.

This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot
