Itunes only loads parts of songs.

When i load cds onto itunes it only loads parts of the songs, and for some it says 'not available'.
For example dani california, which is 4:42 long, only comes up as 1:19, and snow, the song after is 'not available'.
The cd's work in my cd player 100% fine, and all the tracks are there, just not complete.....
Any fixes?

It seems that I have the same problem.
While am working on the Mac, I often listen music on iTunes 8.0.2 (iMac G4 OS X 10.4.11) with Shuffle On, Repeat Off, I notice some pieces doesn't play completely and change before the end.
Opening the music file with Sound Studio, I saw that a part is missing (Waveform is flat). Sometime only few second at the end, but sometime only few second left at the beginning !
What could have gone wrong ? How to fix this ?
Thanks for any help you can give,
(I looked on my BackUp Disk to restore the full missing number. Unfortunately, it seems that SuperDuper "Sand Box" has already BackUp and replace the right full numbers with the defect one !)

TS1702 Help. just downed a album and one of the songs only loaded part of song. What do I do?

How and what to do,when only part of a song downloads from Apple store?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track 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.

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.

ITunes only updates 5-30 songs at a time

I have a 60gb 5G iPod, with latest versions of updater and iTunes. Each time I connect the iPod, iTunes only syncs a few songs, before ceasing (there is no error message). I then have to instruct the iPod to update again, before the same thing happens.
Can anybody shed any light on my pain? Thanks.

sorry, i didn't mean it to sound that ominous.
it's just that i also associate the I/O errors with a
flaky USB 2.0 connection.
hmmmm. even though you don't have a Toshiba, try
seeing if you can get a better connection if you
switch off the high-speed interfaces, using the
instructions from the following document. let's
not restore the ipod, we're just checking to
see if you can get a better connection going for a
song transfer with those interfaces disabled.

(i've seen this work a reasonable number of times
with Dell laptops, and at least once with a Vaio.)
Success!! Many thanks for your help.
I've now managed to sync the entire itunes library, plus my photos in one go. Seemed to take an awfully long time (several hours for around 25gb of music), but I'm not too concerned as I now have a fully functioning ipod!
Cheers.

How come itunes only downloaded part of a song?

I bought a a couple of albums off of itunes and on one song (that i know of) on each album only plays part of the song. For example: if you have a 3:45 song it will only play 2:35 of the song and then it cuts off and moves onto the next song on the album. Can anybody help with this problem. I want my moneys worth. Thanks.

Delete the tracks from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the tracks again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

ITunes only imports part of a song

I've tried uploading two cd's today and it begins to import all songs fine.
Then when approx. half the songs are imported, iTunes only imports a few seconds of each remaining song. I can end up with anything from1 second of a song to 2 minutes of a song that should be 4 minutes long.
I've run diagnostics and it passed all the tests, so I don't know what to do now?
ps I have the latest version of iTunes.

It is a bug. Some folks have found that putting the import settings on WAV corrects the problem. After you verify the WAV files are complete, you can convert to your preferred format.
If that does not help and you are tired of fussing with it, rip your CDs in another program, e.g. Windows Media Player, and add the resulting MP3s to your iTunes library.

ITunes only imports half the song+running very slow!

Ok, so I've been reading through these postings and it looks as though many are experiencing the same issues! When I import a song to iTunes only portions of the file are imported, then iTunes skips ahead and downloads the next song. Also, the application runs very slowly and takes a long time to load. Are there any indications that suggest these issues will be resolved with the next update? Does anyone know when to expect the next version of iTunes? Will going to the Apple Store help my cause? I just spent $300 and I want this to work. What should I do? Also, it says I'm running v 6.0.0.18???

Why is itunes only importing a few songs out of many in itunes music folder and then creating a new folder named "music" contianing those few songs?

This problem has come up after installing a new hard disk to replace a failed one. I restored the music just fine but iTunes only recognizes a few of the song tracks and then creates a new folder within iTunes called "music" that contains those few songs. Tried deleting the .itl and .xml files and reimporting via "Add Library Folder" option with similar results.

Itunes only loads half way problem

I don't normaly but at the moment I'm getting realy pi$$ed off, I've spent hours each day for the last week trying to fix my itunes store problem. It will only load to half way then all I get is a white screen. Can anyone help me? I have windows XP and I think I have tried just about everything I know to get my itunes store to open past half way loading. I've now lost everything after deleating it and downloading it again. I can't even find where to backup my music anymore before deleating it..... At the moment I don't care why or how it happened but would appriciate your time to tell me how to just fix it. It's always been fine before this problem started. I got an itunes gift card for my birthday and can't get to use it....
Any help would be great. Many thanks.

If you're seeing a blank iTunes Store, see this support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
If that does't help, try resetting Winsock. This has solved the problem for some people, at least.
1) Click on your start menu.
2) Go to accessories
3) Run the Command Prompt application. For those with Vista or Windows 7, right click on Comman Prompt and choose "run as administrator".
4) Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
5) hit Enter and it should say something like Winsock reset successful.
6) Reboot your computer and try the iTunes Store again.
Regards.

Import of avi only loads part of whole video

I am importing a large avi file into After Effects. It is 50 minutes long. When I import it into after effects, it only loads 32 seconds of it. I've tried renaming the file, reloading the program, but it still will only load that small portion of it.

Thank you for your response, Rick! The info in the project window only shows 34 seconds, and when I pull it into a composition, it remains 34 seconds. The original file was taken using a web camera on a gateway using their software and is 57 minutes long. The web cam is 1.3m HD, but I can't find any other specs in the program, like what frame rate it is recording at, only the dimensions of 640x480. It was loaded raw onto the computer and is a terrifying 60 GB, which is another reason I am trying to trim and compress it using after effects.
I just tried a cop out and loaded it into windows movie maker and it read the file without problem, so I can render it out of there as an mpeg or other file and load that into AE after.

Bought a cd on itunes only downloaded 5 full songs of the 17

bought a cd on itunes and out of 17 songs it downloaded 5 full songs and 12 half songs

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:
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.

IPod video 5th G - Can only load about 15 songs before it crashes and won't allow me to add any more - Is my hard drive broken?

I have an iPod Video, 5th Generation - a few years old aye, but it does the job. Recently it crashed and wouldn't respond at all, I tried the 5 R's and the iPod wouldn't restore at all. Finally I managed to restore it, but then encountered a new problem.
When I try to put new music onto the iPod the maximum I can really add is about 15/16 songs (currently sitting about 112 MB). I can use the iPod just fine with this on it, but I can't add any songs or anything past this limit. I can take songs off and add new ones on, but again cannot pas this limit.
It is a 30GB hard drive, so I should be able to load near enough 30GB onto it.
Whenever I try to pass the limit and add new songs a message saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "RUSSELL'S I" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69).", and then a second message pops up reading "iTunes could not copy "Song" to the iPod because an unknown error occurred (-69)."
Looking to find out, does this mean my Hard Drive is broken/damaged, or could it possibly be a different issue, as buying a new hard drive is reasonably cheap, but if it turns out to be the motherboard or something else then I don't want to have wasted the money buying a new HDD only to find out the problem hasn't been fixed.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or anybody found a way to fix it?
Cheers
Russell

See here: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod
You can use the disk diagnostic tool built into the iPod's firmware to test the health of it's Hard Drive. See this post from another forum member turingtest2 on how to do this as well as what the resulting numbers mean.

Itunes only syncs PART of my library to the iPhone

I made some modifications to my iTunes library a few weeks ago, and only recently noticed that my iPhone suddenly has NO music.
iTunes looks completely normal; all my music is there, all playlists, etc. When I go to sync just a few playlists to the iPhone, it says it's complete but there is nothing on the phone. If I sync ALL music and playlists, it syncs about 10 items out of the entire library (250 Mb out of 10Gb). If I add a new song to the library today, it gets included in the sync.
So it looks like the iPhone and iTunes are not agreeing on what playlists out of my library need to be synced somehow. If I delete a song from the library and add it again, now it will sync as part of the all-music-and-playlists sync. I can't afford to delete everything and add it again just to clean this up!
Something to do with file timestamps or the iTunes XML file? Database messed up?
I'd appreciate any help from anyone; thanks.
Mike

The list is only 5.6GB, I still should have 7 GB more of free space.
When the sync starts, the Audio portion fills to the 5.6GB, then after the sync, it drops back down to 2GB.
The whole playlist is visible on my iPhone in iTunes, but the other 500 odd songs are all grayed out.

Itunes only sync part of library

For some reason my Ipod is only syncing to part of my Itunes library. I have over 750 songs in my library put when I sync only 64 songs are showing up. I have unistalled and reinstalled Itunes and have restored my Ipod to factory settings and still only 64 songs sync in my Ipod. What makes it even more weird, is that it is always to same songs that gets downloaded If anyone could assist me, please do?

Actually the original library was started on another computer. When I got a lab top, I decided to delete the original library on the old one and make my lab top my main library and that is when I started having my problems. The first time I sync the new library I was able to download more songs, but still not the full library.
