ITunes syncing only part of the song to this particular iPod?

I'm trying to sync a long mp3 (approx 16 megs and 34 minutes in length) to my iPod video, but iTunes only syncs about 7 minutes of the recording, then repeats that same seven minutes over and over again until it reaches the length of the original mp3. I've tried resyncing the piece, rebooting my iPod, and changing the mp3 so it reloads it to the iPod differently and nothing works. The mp3 plays fine in iTunes and on my iPod Touch, but I really need it on my older iPod, too. I'm using iTunes 9.0.1.8 and the iPod has the most up-to-date firmware that I know of for it loaded on it. Any help would be appreciated.

when you play the song on the ipod, have you tried using the jump to option to jump past the point where the song starts repeating?
Have you tried converting the file into another format? ie right click on song in itunes, chose convert to ACC.
have you tried restoring the ipod? warning this dose delete every thing off the ipod.

Syncing only part of the playlists

Hi,
Is it possible to sync only part of the playlists? It seems that if I remove some of the songs from my hard drives, iTunes removes the files from my iPod as well. For example, in my iPod I have a playlist called ABC that contains a song DEF and GHI. If my hard drive no longer has these songs and the playlist's removed in PLAYLISTS, playlist ABC and the songs in my iPod will be deleted after I do a sync. How do I keep the songs in my iPod when they're no longer in my hard drive?
Thanks,
Sun

If I select just one of the many playlists I want to update, it seems to update just that playlist and remove everything else.
iTunes won't remove anything from the iPod if you are Manually managing your music.
To remove songs from the iPod, YOU have to select the songs and delete them yourself.
Just like if you want any songs on the iPod, YOU have to select them and drag them to the iPod.
So it doesn't do incremental synchronizing?
If you are manually managing your music on the iPod, it doesn't do ANY syncing.

HT1725 I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest of the songs keep trying to download and then come up with an error saying they cannot download at this time. I'm not sure what the issue is.

I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
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.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Hi crgcain,
If some of the songs on an album purchased from the iTunes Store are incomplete or won't play, you may want to try deleting them and redownloading the files. You may find the following article helpful:

With 2 devices, how do I sync only part of the library on one device? That is, sync only music and not the podcasts.

Trying to sync part of a library on one device and all of the library on another. Not finding any options to select only parts of a library to be sync'ed. Any help appreciated.

In ipod menu in iTunes, tick the "manually manage music and videos" then select the items that you want to sync. Cheers!

Plays only part of the song

New to ipods. We have two new ipods one is a mini and the other is ipod with video. The problem is there is one song (spirit in sky) that they will only play part of it and skip to the next song. It appears that this is the only song it does it to. I have tried updating the ipods and itunes. The song plays fine in itunes on the computer. Is there anything I can do? Is there any support contact available?
Thanks

This is the exact same thing that is happening to me, on BOTH of my iPods, on the same songs.
Did you find a solution? I have not found one yet. I am going to try a completely reformat the iPods, but not sure that will work.
I think it's an iTunes issue.

ITunes Match, only half of the song?

Hey everyone,
So I got iTunes match not too long ago, I did the upload portion of it on my main Desktop WIndows-Based PC. Everything appeared to have worked, and I was able to download everything to my MacBook Air, iPad, and iPhone. Few days later I was driving to work whilist rocking to some Lionel Richie, and the song "Hello" played half-way when the next song came on. As a matter of fact it does this with several songs all all of my devices except my Desktop. So my questions are:
1. ***?
2. How do I fix it?
3. Is there any way of changing the master computer (i.e. the computer which does the syncing) over to my MacBook Air?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have the same problem and changing you master computer won't work. I have tried doing it from my mbPro to my mbAir and viceversa and nothing has worked so far. I have also exchanged several e-mails with Apple reps and phone calls as well, and as iTunes Match respects they are clueless so all I've gotten back from them is useless link to forums and posted solutions which do not relate at all with our actual issue. They keep saying that redownloading the files will fix it but it doesn't. I own and iPhone5 and a "new" iPad both running iOS 6. Conversely when I'm using iTunes Match on my mbAir from a newly created library (so no hard copies of the files in the computer, just from the cloud) everything works perfectly, so apparently is a bug in the iOS. I'm really frustrated with this but the fix will have to be provided in a new version release, and they already have a lot in their hands so I'm not very confident it will come any time soon. They might be able to make the fix from the iTunes Match servers but who knows. So patience my friend, that's all that's required from us at this point.
Sincerely,
Abdel

TS1424 some of my music has only part of the song or none at all...how do I redownload?

I need to put my music back in my phone after it was wiped out. Ever since then, I have only some of my songs. All of the items I purchased were there but did not download in its entirety. How do I re-download my music?

I bought music and when I listened to it, only part of the song was there.

I bought music with the gift card I got for Christmas and downloaded some songs off of iTunes
Four out of the ten songs I bought play some music, and then it doesn't have audio for the
rest of the song.
I've tried reloading the music to my iPod, but it's the same. And I'm not sure if i should just
change the settings or something. My computer is a Windows 7 and my iPod has not
upgraded to the iOS 5 yet.(I'm kinda cautious, because of what I've heard about it). My iTunes
HAS upgraded to the newer version.
I don't want to have to delete the songs because it'd be a waste of money. Please help me.T^T

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

TS3297 only part of the song will play

Only 1.5 minutes of a 7 minute downloaded song will play. How can this be fixed?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Cannot get old songs from my ipod onto my new computer. My old one crashed and now I only have these songs on this particular ipod.

Cannot get my ols songs off ipod onto new computer

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
