One Song Not Playing

I have a 120 GB IPod Classic that will not play Bulls On Parade by Rage Against the Machine. The song will play on my computer in ITunes and on my old 1 GB IPod Nano. I've restored my IPod Classic to factory settings and manually transferred the song as well as reloading the whole CD. Nothing works and it is really frustrating because that is one of my favorite songs.

In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack. Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones. Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons? Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds. Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons. It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation. Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings. If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem. If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.

Songs not playing in iTunes 7

Since I downloaded the new iTunes 7, I cannot play any songs in my library, or on disc. I could with the old version. Does anyone know what is different about version 7 which could be creating this problem?

Its working!!! I did everything in the "frequently asked questions" reply re songs not playing - nothing seemed to work until I restarted my computer. Now its fine.

One song wont play

I have one song that plays on pc but wont play on iphone 4 or iphone 3. Its shows up but stops at 6seconds. tried removing and install again. Bought it threw itunes and the it the only song on the album that wont play.

Hi, had the same problem - your fix worked for me too. Cheers!

Upgraded to IOS5, now music doesnt work right, displayed song not playing, plays 3,4 songs then stops although is appears to be playing. Help

upgraded to IOS5, now music not working right. displayed song not playing, plays 4,5 songs and stops although it appears that it is playing. Cycled pwr,didn't work. tried resyncing, same thing.Help?

I have an iPhone 4 and ever since I upgraded to iOS5 i've got the same problem. Apple need to release a patch as there's no way of fixing this unless we downgrade our phones back to iOS4 which would just suck!
I often shut the music app down and start again but even then the artwork doesn't match the song playing and will only play a few songs. It's frustrating when you're driving or going for a run, having to pull over or stop and sort it out.
We'll have to wait for Apple to bring out a patch unfortunately.

Full protected or purchased songs not playing

full protected or purchased songs not playing all the way through.

I have deleted them and re downloaded and they still do not work!!

My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine then it sometimes freezes up or start shuffling through the songs not playing at all. After i reset it works ok for a while then same thing. Bought this so i could control through my steering wheel/radio.

I sure hope someone can help me with these ipod classic 160gb issues.
My ipod classic 160gb will be playing fine and then freeze up (unable to move around in it at all) and i have to reset it. This happens constantly whether in my car or when i listen at work. After i reset it works ok for a while then eventually requires another reset.
Another problem is that it will be playing fine and then start shuffling through songs without playing them. The songs that get shuffled work fine in the itunes program but not on the device. A reset does not correct the problem with these particular songs.
Also, sometimes when it is working and not freezing up or shuffling through, it will appear that a song is playing (in fact it says "now playing"), the song titlte is scrolling, but the song progression bar does not move. The count up in front of the bar stays at 0:00, and the count down at the end of the bar stays at the song length minutes not counting down. After I reset, it works fine and all the songs will play.
The reason I got this thing was because i can control it through my steering wheel/radio while i'm driving. I previously had a Zune 80gb which i'm glad I held on to. I have over 6600 songs (so I'm obviously a serious music listener and obviously frustrated), but only about 10 songs were downloaded through itunes, the rest I either ripped or downloaded from other site. From what i've been reading it sounds like there's a lot of ipod owners out there experiencing similar problems. Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve these issues for me and everyone else? I got my first iphone 8 months ago, then the ipod and was considering an ipad. But in light of my ipod issues.....
I hope someone can help me and convince me it wasn't a mistake to go Apple! Thanks!!

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

ITunes library songs not playing in my movie! Aaah!

I read the FAQ for iMovie HD that says I need a more recent version of Quicktime... but I have QT 7 already installed! I figure it is because I have an older version of iMovie, NOT iMovie HD... but what can I do about it?
I already have the songs imported and placed at the proper playhead... everything else about it should work... but they just don't play!

Hi Crippler53, welcome to the forum!
Are the songs you have imported ones that you purchased through the iTunes Music Store? They do not play in iMovie. Or maybe the track is muted - check the tick-box at the right hand end of it.

ITunes songs not playing complete album

I have some albums which i have purchased on iTunes using my iPhone which do not have all of the songs for the album when viewed on my mac. E.G. I have one third of the Live Lounge Album. The other songs are there but only play the preview, however when I go to the iTunes Store it states the complete album is purchased and will not let me reinstate it. what do i do?

Hello matthewt82,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that some of the songs in a purchased album are not playing all the way through. To help resolve this issue I'd like you to please delete the songs from your Mac, and then download them again from your previous purchases list.
Mac or PC
Open iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
Click Songs in the navigation bar.
Click the song you want to delete.
Press Delete on your keyboard.

Have a good one,

Songs not played the whole way through

On several of my song on my ipod, it will start to play the song just fine. After a while, the song will stop, the time left in the song will be 1 second and I have a really hard time to get it to start playing it again. I have tried lot of different methods from restarting the ipod to restoring the ipod. Does anyone else have this problem or am i the only one?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

One song not authroized; all otheras are. Help?

So, last week I d/l'd the complation of Glee's music from Sectionals. All songs came through fine, but for some reason, "Control" is saying it is not authorized on my computer. It won't accept my username/pw to authorize it for the comptuer. All of the other songs are fine. What gives? Any ideas?

Went through that proceedure first to no avail. But I did pay and download that one song again and it does play and will burn on the cd. So I guess the message is if Apple gives you a "sale" on albums, beware!

TS5181 Multiple Artists on One Station Not Playing Correctly

I created a Radio Station and Added a number of Artists to the Station....now for some reason I here only one song playing over and over...Someone Help!

Well have read many examples of the same problem on previous posts and for some they were lucky enough to resolve this problem by entering the alias tab under server admin - web - site - alias tab and either remove * wild card if shown or add other possible domain types/ matches and the issue was fixed...
I have looked everywhere and cannot see any errors with my entries for site names/ folder or domain names (in other words they are all the same)
I have tried numerous work arounds and fixes and now have a clean install with only AFP, DNS, Firewall, SMB and Web services running.
As below message I have three domains. They are all directed to the one IP and in turn via the router to the server.
I can see this working because 2 out of three domains (websites) appear
The problem is still with the first and last site appear in the browser perfectly, however the website listed in the middle (alphabetically) in the 'Host Name' tree of Server Admin - Web - Sites When brought up in the browser shows details of the site redirect in the browser tabs and header fields (ie name of the web page) but all the content is from the 'index.html' of the first site on the list in the server admin - Site field...
I hope this makes sense to you all...
I cannot understand why it will show the first and last sites in the correct domain name but not the middle one....
I can change names and swap things around but come up with the same effect in so far as only 2 sites will display correctly.
I have read that to tinker with the httpd.conf is fraught with danger as I found to my horror and resultant reinstall to now current clean state.
How can I resolve this the issue please???

Random songs NOT PLAYING!

is this just something iPod gen 4 users have to put up with? is there really no 'fix' out there? we paid too much money to have to be dealing with this...
i upload songs to my iTunes and they play just fine on there - once they are on my iPod (gen 4) they do not play. the title will show up, it hovers on the title for a while, but never plays and just skips on to the next song. WHY??!!
i've seen older posts on this, but no one seems to have a solution. who can i talk to??

I'm having the exact same problem, and I see since your post was in May, apparently no one knows how to correct it. I have a few songs that play fine on my computer, and in iTunes, and even when I have my iPod connected and play from my iPod music list. But when I disconnect my iPod, the songs will not play. It hovers over the song for a few seconds, then skips to the next one.
Does ANYONE know how to fix this issue? I've been an iPod user for 7 years and love my nano, but I will replace it in a heartbeat if it doesn't work 100%.

Songs not playing on iPod Touch

I upgraded my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5. I had trouble with apps but they are fixed now. My problem now is music. It retained my data but some songs won't play. I didn't buy them on iTunes - they are from an older library when I didn't have iTunes. Now it just plays the next song and it's very irritating. They play on my computer and I haven't changed the file location. Any tips?

Not sure if your issue is the same I had: not playing tunes, playing the wrong tune, skipping ahead several tunes, selected song and playing song not matching. Here was my fix:
Altered from original solution from Emily P:
Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Sync
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!
