ITunes wireless store purchases don't play on iPhone after syncing

I've bought a number of music tracks from the iTunes store directly from my iPhone. Prior to syncing with my computer all the tracks play fine, however once I've synced my iPhone with the computer many of the tracks won't play on the iPhone, although they continue to work fine on iTunes on the Mac and Apple TV. The symptom is 5 seconds of silence for a track, followed by a jump to the next track. If I scrub past 5 seconds then I can hear the track's music. The synchronised music fails to play on the iPhone and iPod Touch. I've tried restoring the phone. I even tried downloading the same track purchased on the phone directly from the mac and found the filesizes were differing by 58 bytes.

Here is an article from the itunes store support site that might help out.
Near the bottom, there is a link to contact itunes store support.

  • Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

    I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago).  Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer.  I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54.  The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app.  Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists.  Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes?  Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

    How to create custom ringtones ...
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    6. Click the "Options" tab.
    7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    9. Click "OK."
    10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
    Hope this is useful ...

  • Purchased app wont show on iPhone after sync

    Purchased app, Skee Ball, from app store and it shows to be downloaded to my computer, and purchased on iTunes. When I sync the app doesn't show up on iPhone! Nothing in manual, any IDEAS?

    Do you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and if so, is this new app downloaded with iTunes on your computer selected below?

  • Apps don't appear on iphone after syncing

    Hi, I'm a new apple products user, so forgive me if I make any noob mistakes.
    I've just gotten my iPhone, and i've got iTunes. I've downloaded a bunch of apps on my computer which show up in my applications list, but when I try to sync my iPhone with my computer (to install these apps of course), nothing shows up in my iPhone. There's a brief second in iTunes where it says "installing blah blah" but nothing ever comes up in my iPhone. And my diskspace in the iPhones remains empty as ever..
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Did you already reset your phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up?

  • How can I stop my iTunes Store purchases automatically going onto my iPhone?

    How can I stop my iTunes Store purchases automatically going onto my iPhone?
    I've downloaded several thing, including Christmas songs, but do not want them on my iPhone anymore - but no matter what I do, every time I sync my phone, all my purchases revert back to the old names (purchased names, ie. "The Blue - EP" when I have renamed them to "The Blue") and then come up on my iPhone. Despire finding the song on my phone, swipping it to delete, it'll reappear later on.
    I have also set up that only songs in a created playlist are to be on my iPhone, (these songs are not on it), yet they always appear.
    How can I ensure the downloaded files DO NOT change names and stop going onto my iPhone every time I sync up?
    Thank you.

    It looks like you're trying to play a track bought from the iTunes store (or does it happen with other songs too?). Make sure you are logged in with the account the track was bought with.

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

  • HT1688 My purchased ringtones are not on my new Iphone after syncing. How do I get them back?

    My purchased ringtones are not on my new IPhone after syncing How do I get them back? ITunes store said I had already purchased - would I like to purchase again?

    Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

  • No Content in iPod part of iPhone after syncing with OS 3.1 and iTunes 9

    My iPhone was working fine and I upgraded to iTunes 9 and OS 3.1 and then all of the sudden no Content in iPod part of iPhone after syncing. It shows the music there as far as the capacity is concerned but nothing shows up on the phone. I turned off Sync Music and my podcasts and movies then appear on my iPhone but when I try to Sync Music again it blanks. I then tried only select playlists which seemed to work except when I went to add the largest playlist then No Content error again on my iPhone.

    Same problem here.
    I had my contents playing from the application iPod in my newly "clean" updated iPhone 3G, then I downloaded 3 podcasts from the iTunes Store in my iphone over wifi and the next time I launched "iPod" the screen read "Updating library" and then only the 3 new podcasts were shown no other contents is available, and the information menu from the settings reads 0 songs but the available disk space is relevant with the songs still being on the iPhone.
    In addition, I have to say that iPod, especially the podcasts section, felt more sluggish than on the previous version.
    I look forward to a fix.
    Best regards,

  • When I delete a podcast in iTunes it is still on iPhone after sync; just in the cloud.

    When I delete a podcast in iTunes it is still on iPhone after sync; just in the cloud (it has a close and download icon). All I want to do is delete it. I Now I have to delete in manually from all devices. I have not listened to it either.
    Also, I cannot use the selling to delete played podcasts, because I want to keep some of them.
    I have IOS 8.1, iTunes 12.0.. and OSX 10.10.1. iPhones 4,5 and 6 and iPad Air 2
    In the good old days, you deleted in iTunes and the next time you synced it, it was removed from the iPhone, iPods and iPads. Now, I have to update them all.
    Note: Subscription takes place on my Mac, not the other devices.
    Am I missing something, because this is a real pain?
    Thanks
    Tony..

    You aren't mssing anything. As far as I am aware, this is simply the process that you need to take to remove them.

  • I have 3 iTunes courses that i downloaded using my iPad. After syncing my iPad with iTunes on my mac, these 3 courses do not appear on my mac iTunes library yet they are still on my iPad.

    I have 3 iTunes courses that i downloaded using my iPad. After syncing my iPad with iTunes on my mac, these 3 courses do not appear on my mac iTunes library yet they are still on my iPad.
    I have 2 other courses that I downloaded frim my iPad and these appeared on my iTunes (mac) library.
    Any idea why the other 3 that i downloaded were not synced in iTunes?

    You and the iPad can function with the Remote App from across the room, or in another room.
    However, your stereo system has to have a way to communicate or connect with the computer.   Unless it has some kind of wifi connector or has Bluetooth, I don't see how you can do this.
    There is no app or software to resolve this.   You need a way for the stereo to connect.

  • The free space for my iphone on itunes does not match the free space on my iphone after syncing.

    The free space for my iphone on itunes does not match the free space on my iphone after syncing. iTunes shows 6.7 G free, but my iphone shows 6 G free. Why such a delta?

    They've never sussed this out - been a problem the last year or two for me regardless of all the new iOS versions and iTunes versions. Regardless of multiple resets and full restores.  Mine showed 3.7 avail on computer, less than .5 on phone.  I did a reset and full restore.  It helped - but still differs dramatically - now showing 5.8 avail on computer but only 2.9 on phone.
    APPLE!!! I have spent 10s of thousands on your products both at my business and home - why?  "Because it just works" I've been telling people.  Not sure if I can keep on saying that if you don't get this figured out!!
