Itunes plays normally, iPod only plays a piece of the song
I have one song that plays normally in iTunes 3:49 sec. Once synced to the iPod, it only plays about :30 sec of the song. Out of 3000 songs, this is the only one that does this. Why would iTunes play it fine but not my iPod?
You are the best at what you know and do. This is my exact same problem. the song is LOW by Flo-Rida. (you know it, APPLE BOTTOM JEANS, BOOTS WITH THE FUR?) plays 3:53 in itunes but only 0:16 seconds on ipod. OUT OF 1785 SONGS, THIS IS MY ONLY PROBLEM. i have tried every thing you suggested in forum, with no fix. is there a way to delete the song from my COMPUTER? i think when i get new song and down load, it uses the old corrupt file? even though i delete it from itunes AND my ipod BEFORE i get the "new" song? i have done this "fix" 5 times now, too coincidental it stops at 16 seconds EVERY TIME. please help me. im going crazy!

why can't i transfer all songs on my ipod to my computer and then to my new ipad? i keep getting a message saying that about half of the files couldn't be found, and only about 1/2 of the songs went to the ipad when i first synced. the files must be on the ipod, because i can play all 448 from the ipod when disconnected from the computer. and all songs show up on my devices at itunes and can be played on the computer. but only about 1/2 are going to the ipad. i am no tech genius, obviously, but could someone please help me? thanks
Apple does not support transferring files from the device to the computer if they are third party. It is great that you were able to transfer the ones you did. There is a way to do it but it sounds like you already did it because if not half of them would not come over. The files can probably not be found because they are third party and the files are not compatible with the transfer process.

I purchased a song on iTunes that is now appearing twice on my library; the first download only plays 37 seconds of the song, the second download will not play & prompts me to authorize the computer to allow it to play. Suggestions?
Im having a similar promblem! Only its doesnt work on my Itunes library and the song ends at 49 seconds. Have you fixed your problem yet?
p.s. my discussion is on the following page but no one has responded yet as I only just posted it.

I downloaded a song to from iTunes, but even after the download is complete it only plays one second of the song and then it ends. Any ideas?
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
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' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?
I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck. -
I downloaded two albums yesterday and only half of each of the songs have downloaded when I play them. There is nothing to say it is waiting for the rest to download and I have checked for available downloads...help please!
no, i had to leave so i logged out and when i opened itunes on my mac and went into the downloads tab it only had one paused download listed. i resumed the download for the one movie listed and the other one never showed up. its been about two weeks since i initially bought the two movies so i figured something was wrong.

Only about 1/3 of the songs on MP3 CD play in my car ....
Hey, so I made an MP3 CD using itunes, got 119 songs on there. Earlier today I discovered while driving that about 1/3 of the way through the songs the CD started over, as in that is all it recognized as being on the CD for whatever reason. The songs are grouped by Artist and they play using folders, it got up to "F" (Foo Fighters) or folder 31, which is about 40 songs or so. I honestly have no idea what is going on. I have the CD in my drive right now and it is showing all 119 songs are burned on there and they all play fine on my PC. So is this something to do with my car or what? It is pretty weird to only have 1/3 of the songs playable for no apparent reason.
Anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks!Apple does not support transferring files from the device to the computer if they are third party.

Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do to fix this and get rid of the grey songs?
Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

I tried to play my iTunes and suddenly get an error message that says "The song (name) could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it now?" It happens on each tune I select and a "?" appears beside the song. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

I downloaded new songs and now it wont let me put them on my ipod unless i erase all of the songs and just put the ones in my library. I think there are something like 140 or less songs in the library and there are almost 300 on my ipod. What gives?
Hook up your iPod, there should be a selection somewhere that allows you to sync the iTunes purchased content ONLY back into your iTunes from the iPod.
Non-iTunes purchased content needs a third party utility, look at iLounge or elsewhere for it.
As always maintan a backup of your content on external medium, cd/dvd/external drive as Apple will not redownload content.
You bought it, your responsible for it's preservation. -
I download songs from my dropbox to my macbook pro and then upload them to my updated iTunes. iTunes plays them in entirety, but when i update my iTunes match, my iPhone and iPad skip many of the songs and albums. Why? I have tried everything.
If you have manually manage set, you do not sync.
If you want to sync, select the content desired to sync and sync.
This is all covered in the User's Guide. -
my ipod is not syncing all of the songs in my library. it has before but i had to restore the ipod. if i click on the songs in the library it wont even play them any more ....says it cant locate the file?
Time you backed up so you can recover in the event of a crisis.

Hello together, I've a problem with some songs in my playlists on my new ipod touch. The error message says that the replay of the song isn't possible because the song isn't available or through DRM is restricted. All the songs are buyed in the iTunes Store. Give it a solution to activate the songs on my ipod touch ?
Do the non-syncing songs play in iTunes?
Were the syncing and non-syncing songs purchased with the same account?
Can you directly download the the songs to the iPod? See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
windows thinks my itouch is a camera and itunes says this ipod can't be used because the software isn't installed - reinstall itunes. i've done that and continue to get the same error. can someone please help?
(apologies for barging in, lllass.)
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now? -
everytime you unlock the phone while playing music it restarts the song from the beginning what can we do! probably just wait for a fix
Here the same discussion for iPods...

I had the same problem and did a reboot, for me that solved the problem.
How to reboot your iPhone:
1. Hold down the Home button (that’s the big button in the lower front) and the Sleep / Wake button (that’s the little button on the top right) down.
2. Keep holding until you see the screen go black and then the Apple logo appear.
3. Voila! Your iPhone has been rebooted. Resume your blissful life and forget that anything bad happened with your iPhone.
