Itunes songs play softer
Hi Everybody,
I've been having a small amount of trouble with my Itunes. It has been bugging me for a while so i thought i would check in here and see if anyone had any advice about it.
I have noticed that whenever i edit the song info on itunes, after it has changed, the song automatically drops in volume. For example, if i go into "get info" and delete the album name, after this the song plays softer and is quieter than it originally was.
I've been checking online for info but it's mostly about sound check and equalizer settings etc. I have tried these but it didn't change it.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

That phenomenon has been there for at least the last seven years of iTunes releases.
I have assumed it is a consequence of the initial analysis done by SoundCheck. In any case, iTunes does not in any way modify the file volume itself, only its own playback. So you can be assured the file is not getting messed up.

Itunes songs play only thirty seconds of song
I bought bout thirty or more songs from itunes and all of them only play about thirty seconds of the song before going to the next song. I tried deauthorizing my computer and reauthorizing it. Does anyone know anything to fix this?
Does the song play in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

Itune song playing on web page?
I just built a web site for a friend of mine. She bought a song on itunes and would like me to set it up so that the song plays in the background on the home page. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!Unfortunately, this can't be done. Perhaps when they start releasing songs without the DRM, but for now the songs are protected and can't be played in anything besides iTunes, Quicktime, an iPod, or an Apple TV.

Some itunes songs play and others won't
I was assigned case #155720735 for this matter. I have 1 apple ID (fcempa) and on the songs that do not play, it says to get computer authorized. When I do that, it says computer is already authorized, but won't play the song. I clicked on get info tab of the song that won't play and the account name matches the ones that do play. 2 techs could not help me and stated it could be an issue on Apple's end? Help!
Welcome To Apple Discussions!
Well, could you maybe give a little more detailed information? What do you mean by "don't play"? When you click on them, what happens exactly? Are they all songs from the iTunes Music Store? etc....
Good luck,

Only one iTunes song plays during DVD slideshow
I have built a slideshow in iDVD6 that's about fifteen minutes long. I added four purchased iTunes tracks, grouped in a playlist, into the audio well in iDVD. The Project Info shows the four tracks.
Only one track plays, however, on the burned DVDs. It repeats itself several times until the slideshow is finished.
In reading other posts about audio, I've noticed that too little available space on the drive with the project can sometimes make iDVD a bit wonky.
I have about 15 gigs available - could that be causing this problem?15GB should be sufficient, although more always is better.
On the chance that some preference or permission is corrupted, try the following standard stuff that we do when an iLife program is acting weird: Close iDVD and trash the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app on your Mac.
If that doesn't solve it, as a workaround you could try joining the songs in your playlist into one total soundtrack. You could do this by putting your playlist into an iMovie project and then exporting your playlist onto your desk top as an aiff file. (File/Export/Expert Settings/Share/Sound to aiff) Then import that file directly into your iDVD project, or into iTunes and from there into your iDVD project.
Another way is to export your playlist to a musical CD, and then import all the songs at once from the CD back into iTunes, checking the "Join CD tracks" option on the iTunes Advanced menu. That will join all the tracks into one long clip.
Perhaps someone else will come up with a better suggestion. Good luck with this. -
Running on appletv is affecting my mac - starts itunes songs playing
My wife will be surfing the web - with itunes open so I can do appletv, and when I start doing stuff, her mac starts playing and pausing songs on the itunes and often will go to FrontRow. We never installed FrontRow - I guess it either came with the new version of itunes we moved to or was activated by appletv.
The apple remote she is using on the tv is controlling your Mac as well. You can disable the Mac's infrared receiver to prevent this from happening as explained above. If your Mac came with a remote also then you could pair one remote to the Mac and another remote to the tv. If you have only one remote then pairing won't do any good. Disabling the ir receiver would be the best bet.
Also, if the option to turn off the IR receiver is grayed out, then click on the lock in the lower left, enter your admin password and the option will become available.
Cheers

ITunes volume plays incredibly low
While everything else on my computer plays at its proper volume--sound effects, youtube, etc.--iTunes plays incredibly low. I've turned up the volume on the iTunes pane and even tried adjusting the volume of individual tracks in their preferences. Still, every song plays soft and tin-like as if the built-in speakers were only headphones. I've installed the most recent iTunes update but the problem persists.
Advice?I had the same problem also. Inside iMovie, Control-Click the movie. Then hit "Get info". Under Option is a volume adjustment for the movie file. Turn it up all the way. This worked for me. Good luck.

When I try to play a song from my re-installed iTunes library, I get the error message: "Song xxx could not be played because original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" > "Locate" or "Cancel." When I click on "Locate" I can't figure out how to get the song to play from any of the places that were "located." The path is C:\users\Janet\libraries\music\iTunes
However, iTunes songs chosen from my library will play in iTunes (current version) when I have the external back-up drive plugged in! I recently copied my backed-up iTunes library from my external back-up drive to a new computer.
Most of the songs, but not all, magically appear in Windows Media Player and I can play those just fine.
I can see my iTunes library in the newest version of iTunes, recently downloaded to new computer, but can't play songs without connecting to the external back-up drive - so maybe there is something else on that external drive that needs to be on my C: drive?
I am using an HP Pavillion Notebook, Windows 7, 64-bit. My previous computer was Windows Vista. Before Vista, I had XP.
Back when I had XP, I wanted to purchase some songs to download to my computer. Because iTunes had the ability, I used it to create a massive library of songs, most of which were ripped from my CDs. I don't have an iPod and iTunes worked fine for creating playlists and then burning them to CDs.
Also, I'd like to know if there is a way to get back my playlists.
And another thing - in the older version of iTunes, there was a folder in the lists on the left-hand side of the screen where I could click to see all the songs I had purchased. I'd like to get that ability back if possible.
In hindsight, iTunes was probably not the best choice for me to build my music library in a Windows operating system, but it seemed to be the best choice at the time. I really wish I could convert all the songs to mp3 format.
I have been working with computers since the days of DOS, black and white screens, and no mice. The first computer I bought for my own use at home was a Mac and it had "Flying Toasters" as a screensaver. (I miss that screensaver.) It did not have a tower and I believe they called it a laptop, even though the thing was as big as a suitcase and probably weighed around 30 pounds. However, I am by no means a computer expert. In other words, pretend you're trying to tell your mother how to do what I am asking. =)
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" -
I recently purchased Itunes match to download some of the songs from my library onto my phone. Everything downloaded fine. At least I thought, until I tried to listen to my music on my phone. I found that some of the songs that were downloaded from the itunes match are not fully there. The full song plays fine on my computer, however on my phone it will only play a part of the song and then immediately cut off and skip to the next song, while the display still says the other song should be playing. I tried turning off the itunes match and just re-synching the music from my computer itunes library to my phone but still encounerted the same problem. Is there an easier way of fixing this, or do I have to basically restore my whole phone?
Did you let the scan in iTunes finish before you enabled the service on the iPhone? If not you need to. Disable iTM on the iPhone, then launch the Music app and let the content clear out. Once the scan is complete in iTunes re-enable iTM on the iPhone.

I updated to 7.0 and now my ipod wont play in my car stero. I have reset, bought an itunes song and reset again but nothing is working. Pandora wont play. I can hear it very slightly in my speakers if I turn up the speakers but it is so faint. It plays thru its own speakers and my radio plays thru my speakers in my car so my its not my speakers.Help! Thank you!
Hi Novagurl2369!
I have an article for you that can provide some helpful troubleshooting steps to address your issue:
No sound through stereo headset1
Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
Try a different song or video.
Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.

Hi. I'm in a situation here and would really welcome some guidance. I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song. Both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. So, I moved what I thought were duplicates into the trash from iTunes, and resigned myself to the fact that I would have to do this manually for each album. I did this with about 10 albums. I emptied the trash and lost them even though they still LOOKED like they were in iTunes. I repeated the process tonight on a bunch of other albums not realizing yet that I had screwed up terribly the first time. This time I saw what had happened and pulled the files out of the trash, onto my desktop and dragged them back into iTunes, then deleted the duplicate files that had exclamation points next to them. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing duplicate files from the trash or not, and am nervous about emptying the trash. Anyone dealt with this before? Thank you

How do I get iTunes 11 to work as the old iTunes did in this respect: after playing a song in one playlist, I click on another playlist, highlight a song, press play, and get the result of that song playing & that playlist continuing? As it goes now, one clicks on the song in the new playlist where the arrow is and then chooses 'Play Song Next.' So, it plays next, but then the song after that is back in the old playlist. I want to use iTunes smoothly without the extra clicks I've had to do in order to get the playlist to continue. This is music for background while I play the violin at restaurants, and extra clicks and hassle is quite unappreciated, especailly since it worked fine in the previous iTunes.
Thanks.At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there). -
Basically, I've already described the problem. Some songs play perfectly fine in itunes but the same songs corrupt when placed on different devices of varying age. Therefore, I don't think there's something wrong with the original file and I don't think there's something wrong with all of my devices. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Hello there klundie,
I was researching the issue you are experiencing, and have come to the conclusion that the songs in question may need to be converted and re imported. This article, iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format outlines how to re import songs that are already in your itunes library, which I believe will resolve the issue.
You can find the article here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
To convert a song's file format:
Open iTunes Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click the General button, then click the Importing Settings button in the second section of the window.
From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
Create MP3 version
Create AAC version
Create AIFF version
Create WAV version
Create Apple Lossless version
If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > ConvertImport preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted. Note: Some purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted. iTunes Plus purchases are not protected and can be converted.
The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.
All the best,
Sterling
