One song does not synch correctly

I purchased a song from iTunes on my Mac. I added it to two different playlists and synched those playlists to my iPhone 4. When I play the song on my iPhone, it does not start at the beginning of the song (the first 10 or 15 seconds seem to be missing). The song plays correctly on my Mac.
I tried deleting the song from my playlists, syncing, copying the song again to the playlists, and re-synching. The song still does not play correctly on my phone.
Does anyone have ideas for how to resolve this?

Hello Michael,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the song purchased from the iTunes Store.  I recommend following the following article, specfically the section titled "Authorize using the correct account name," for the issue you described

    I downloaded iOS 7 and one song  does not give the option to delete

    Same problem.  Certain songs simply cannot be deleted.   I'd love someone to acknowledge it's a bug.

    When selecting a song to play on iPhone the correct song does not play.  How do I fix?

    There are users reporting the process being stuck and it might have to do with apple turning on match to other countries today.
    Have you tried turning match off and letting it remove all none downloaded songs and then turning match back on to see if it fixes it?
    Sometimes turn match off and then back on fixes some things, but not always.
    Especially if it is working on your other devices, it has to be with the one your trying to get the song downloaded onto.

    You could try emailing iTunes support, giving them your order number, etc. or you could just take the hit and pay the 99p.  I know what I would do.

  • (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

  • Iphone calendar does not synch with outlook

    Starting on Feb 1, my iPhone (5s) does not synch with Outlook (2013). Have tried many things:
    1. Building new Outlook data file (.pst)
    2. Changing synch settings in iTunes
    3. Changing USB cables
    4.Removing/reinstalling iTunes and other Aplle software
    Problem seems to have started after upgrading iOS and iTunes.
    Any idea?

    Yes, that does make sense. You can transfer data from the old .pst file without saving it as a .pst file. Archive your current .pst. Then save your contacts as vCards, and save your calendar as an iCalendar file. After creating the new .pst file, you can open the old calendar in the new .pst as well as import the vCards back to your contacts.
    Last question, did you run the scanpst.exe program to review your .pst file for corruption? You will find that, if I remember correctly, in the Office program folder. You can search for it. Run that, it prompts you for your .pst file and will scan it for problems. But saying that it started on a specific date would lead me to believe it is something you probably added that day. Out of all of the time I've been using Outlook 2007, 2010, and 2013 with my iPhones, and I've had them since the first one, I've only had 2 small events, and copying over the .pst has fixed them both.

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

    I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie.  Any suggestions to fix?

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long.  After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix.  I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

  • IMusic does not work correctly following iOS5 upgrade

    After updgrade to iOS 5, my iMusic app does not function correctly. The bottom row of buttons do not display (Playlists, Songs, Artists, Albums). The More button will display the options, but when selected, the screen remains blank (black). I can display the album cover and the generic music note when playing music, but otherwise the screen remains black. When I rotate from portrait to landscape, a thin brown border cuts across the landscape screen at the same width the app was in Portrait.

    Rebooting/restarting has not corrected this for me. It's easily repeated. The app needs some QA testing. The only way out of the blank/black screen for me has been to force quit the app. Rebooting the pad makes no difference.

  • Oops - spry menu bar 2.0 does not display correctly when loaded

    Oops - obviously I'm new at this. I think I got my graphics loaded now.
    Dear Sirs:
    I notice bzz31 had a pretty complicated post, so perhaps someone can help me with my complicated problem that has been vexing me for months. I tried the Spry Menu Bar 1.0, but it was impossible for me to edit, and I was delighted to see Spry Menu Bar 2.0 come out. However the 2.0 version has been frustrating me as well.
    I can get my menu bar to display properly in Live View, as shown below.
    However when I load everything onto the server, the menu bar does not display correctly, as shown below:
    I don't quite understand the code "file:///" but I interpret it to mean that the Spry-UI-1.7 folder is in the topmost folder of MacPro5-Docs, which is my hard drive. Here's the code I'm having trouble with:
    Here's my computer directory, shown below:
    Since my index file is two folders down from Spry-UI-1.7, I loaded the files onto the server similarly, as shown in the next three pictures:
    (The picture below is the same as the one just above, but now you can see the path from index to Spry-UI-1.7.)
    I would be most appreciative if someone can help me.
    Thank you.

    Each of the above points to a file on your local system and cannot be found by the remote server.
    Replace the red coloured parts with http://www.twhsbands.org/ will remedy the situation.
    You also have some remnants of the other SpryMenuBar that should be removed from your markup.

    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.

  • After loading the new OS now my songs do not play correctly. Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn't play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What's up? Kind of frustrating!!!

    After loading the new OS my songs do not play correctly, is anyone else having this issue? Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn’t play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What’s up? Kind of frustrating!!!

    I had the same issue.  In fact I posted it yesterday, but didn't get any replies.  I physically synched my phone to PC iTunes.  on the PC, under the phone/music tab, I unchecked the synch music box and then the apply button to remove all of the music from my phone.  Then once that synch finished, I went back and selected all music, and synch music and apply to put it back on to the phone.  So far, I haven't had an issue again, but I also haven't listened very long.  Hope this helps!

  • PrintWriter does not send correct text over HTTP

    Hello All,
    I need information to resolve a problem I am having with PrintWriter and sending text using HTTP.
    I am developing a client/server system. A client will be used to connect to a Tini (a Dallas Semiconductor designed embedded system). Currently, to understand HTTP operation, I wrote a server that resides on the tini that listens for a connection attempt and when one is made prints the HTTP message in Dallas' JavaKit application window. The resultant Tini display includes some hardcoded tini text (italics only in (b) and (c) below) along with that received from the client app (italic bold in (b) and (c) below).
    I have also written some test client side code (see (a) below) in Sun's Java Studio Creator that sends a couple of lines of text so that I could see what my client app would actually send. I tried a few different ways of creating a PrintWriter object as shown in the code at (a) below just to see if it was a character set problem.
    The problem is that I get two different results under the following conditions:
    [Condition 1]: Entering "HTTP://tini" in the browser and pressing Enter. See result (b) below. This is correct and shows what the browser sends to the tini. The tini outputs the text immediately after pressing Enter.
    [Condition 2]: Running my client code in the browser. See result (c) below. This is incorrect and sends just a bunch of "y"s with umlauts as the message. The tini immediately outputs text up to the "cnt=0" line and then can take up to a couple of minutes to complete the message.
    1. Can anyone tell me why the client sends those "�" instead of the strings I encoded for all character sets?
    2. Why does the client code takes so long to complete after the initial transmission?
    3. Can anyone provide me with links to information that explains this behavior? I searched Sun and the forum but found nothing.
    (a) Here is the current test client side code that sends a couple of strings to the tini:
        public String button3_action() {
            // TODO This should send the tini a request for its IP address
            String protocol = "HTTP";
            String host = "tini";
            try{
                 URL tiniURL = new URL("http://tini");
                 URLConnection tiniConnection = tiniURL.openConnection();
                 tiniConnection.setDoOutput(true);
         //     Comment out one then the other to see if there is a difference in result (there is not!)
         //        PrintWriter tiniout =  new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream(), "UTF-16"));
         //        PrintWriter tiniout =  new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8"));
         //        PrintWriter tiniout =  new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream(), "ISO-8859-1"));
         //        PrintWriter tiniout =  new PrintWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream());
                 PrintWriter tiniout =  new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream()));
                 tiniout.println("GET / HTTP / 1.1\r\n");
                 tiniout.flush();
                 tiniout.println("IPaddress?");
                 tiniout.flush();
                 tiniout.close();
            catch(MalformedURLException e){
                e.printStackTrace();

    This is to anyone that is having trouble sending data via a stream using a browser client. I found the answer after many different searches on the Sun site in a bug report: Bug ID: 4192018.
    The problem arises from the way the API actually uses outputstreams. It appears that you must add an InputStreamReader to actually flush the OutputStreamWriter buffer. After reading this bug report I added
    (tiniConnection.getOutputStream(), "ISO-8859-1"));
            OutputStreamWriter tiniout =  new OutputStreamWriter(tiniConnection.getOutputStream(), "ISO-8859-1");
            InputStreamReader tiniIn =  new InputStreamReader(tiniConnection.getInputStream(), "ISO-8859-1");
            tiniout.write("GET/HTTP/1.1\r\n");
            tiniout.flush();
            //This is necessary to actually send data.
            tiniIn.read();
            tiniout.write("IPaddress?");
            tiniout.flush();
            //This is necessary to actually send data.
            tiniIn.read();
            tiniout.close();
            catch (MalformedURLException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            catch (IOException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }NOTE: The preliminary program still does not perform correctly but it does send data that is displayed in tini's JavaKit window. At least I can continue to verify how the browser sends data.
    I hope this helps someone.
