My itunes songs are playing up
i have noticed songs i have purchased arent playing all the way through and are skipping to the next,
and have the same problem on my other devices including iphone 4s, macbookpro, and ipad because of syncing all devices
didnt realise songs were playing up before i synced can somebody help me on what to do?
Hello zarnoss,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with music in iTunes and on your devices. In my experience, this happens when the song doesn't download completely:
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.

In a situation like this, I recommend deleting the problematic songs and redownload the songs from your past purchases.
Follow these steps to delete the song from iTunes:
Delete an item from your library
Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
Click Delete Item.
Do one of the following:
Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.
Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Recycle Bin. The item is removed the next time you empty the Recycle Bin.
You can find the full article here:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Delete songs, playlists, or other items

Next, you can follow the steps to redownload the songs to iTunes in this article:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

Once you have downloaded the songs again, you can resync them to your devices.
If you are still not able to play the songs fully after redownloading them, you can report an issue with this purchases using the steps in this article:

iTunes Match is having errors d/l songs to my iPhone 4s. Then I can't delete them, and it says some songs are playing when they aren't. I've restored my iPhone, same issue.
According to this article Using iPhone on an airplane you should be able to listen to music with Airplay Mode enabled.
Make sure you have Music switched on in Settings > Store or your music won't download via Wi-Fi. -
When songs are playing in itunes the sound keeps pausing for brief moments and making little clicking noises. Any ideas how to fix this?
Error -36 is an I/O error, which could indicate a damaged Catalog file, corrupted bitmap or (even worse) a dying HD.
I would recommend to run Disk Utility and perform a 'Verify disk'.
If lots of errors are found, try to save as much files as possible to another disk.
Then perform a 'Repair disk'. Repairing a catalog file or bitmap might cause loss of files, that's why I recommend to verify first and save the files, before repairing.

I have updated to iTunes 10 and now my unchecked songs are playing... I don't want this and can't figure out how to have it like it was before (not playing unchecked songs). Please help! I leave the unchecked songs in there b/c there will come a point in time where I want to listen to these songs but right now I don't.
yes, 10.3.1, iTunes already restarted, menu settings already like that and still it will play all unchecked songs (including the checked songs of course). Why even have check and unchecked if the program is going to play all of them anyway?!
thanks for responding though... -
Phone reboots when certain songs are played on the music app?
on my iphone 5c, if i try playing certain songs in my music app, they play for a few seconds and then my entire phone reboots. i have a lot of music on my phone and all of the songs that do this are from the same album. it also didn't start doing this until after i updates to ios 8. i've tried looking elsewhere to see if someone else has had this problem but i've come up empty. its really inconvenient because i can't even listen to those songs now. i've also noticed that its only when i have headphones or an auxiliary cord plugged into my phone.
Hi princessruto,
If you are having issues with your restarting when certain songs are played through headphones, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Is anyone else having issues with "skipping" while the songs are playing?! It is very aggravating to us... and we've had it going on for several months now. Any ideas at all how to fix it?
So, don't use youtube.

I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?
Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage. -

How do I get my itunes songs to play from computer onto a playstation
How do I get my itunes songs to play from my windows computer through the internet to my playstation PS3
I'm not a windows person anymore but I've heard it said that you can point Windows Media Player at you iTunes library and you can set it up to serve up to the PS3. Remember the the PS3 doesn't work with DRM encoded music.

I put iPod on "songs, shuffle" but the shuffle isn't random! Same artist repeats often, same songs repeat before other songs are played. With over 2000 songs on the iPod, I shouldn't be getting repeats very often. Anybody else?
Shuffle is not perfect. What you are experiencing is normal.

hey my little sister pressed something on my ipod and ever since some o f my songs are playing only for the first few seconds how do i solve this problem
BaconBits is right to ask if the files are protected or not.
DRM files can only be transferred using Windows Media Player, Creative MediaSource or Nano Media Explorer so that the licenses are transferred. Do not try drag'n'drop with Windows Explorer on porotected files. This is explained in the Help file manual on your CD.
Also do not use Audible Manager to transfer music files.

How do I display song lyrics while an iTunes song is playing?
How do I display song lyrics while an iTunes song is playing?
songs purchased in iTunes don't come with the lyrics. you could, however teadious, find the lyrics online, copy and paste them into the comments section when right click and select "get info" and go to info.
after that whatever you place in those comments will show up on an ipod touch or iphone. therefore you can see lyrics if thats what you put in there. -
Two song are playing at once during slide show?
I played a slide show and music was playing. Later the same music played...along with an iTunes song I'd purchased. They played together, which wasn't too good. How did that happen and how do I enable or disable the default song?
I found the problem and just need to know more about how to work with the iPhoto program, which will happen when I receive my books and do the one-to-one lessons. Evidently someone had started my songs on iTunes running and they hadn't been stopped, although I couldn't hear them when I opened the iPhoto program to start. Hence, both the song on iPhoto and the iTunes song were playing at the same time. I simply went into iTunes and stopped the songs from playing. Duh....
I can't wait to find out how to stop the default song and choose one to play from my iTunes during the slide shows.
