Only 2 songs out of 16 will play on recent iTunes Store purchase

Hi there, I recently purchased the album '6 Feet Deep' by Gravediggaz from the iTunes store. I have no problems playing the album in iTunes. When I tried to play the album on my iPod though, it skipped to track 4 (Defective Trip [Trippin']) and played only that track, then skipped the rest of the tracks 5-16. This was when I tried to listen to just the album in order.
When I try to play individual songs off the album in Shuffle from my Song list, again only 'Defective Trip (Trippin') will play, any other song I try to play skips and I get a random song.
I have purchased many albums from the iTunes store and this is the first time this has happened. I deleted the album from iTunes and moved the files to a different location on my hard drive and reloaded them into iTunes but the same thing happens.
Also, this may or may not be related but it is really annoying, I have 8600 songs in iTunes but only 8590 on my iPod. All of the songs on the Gravediggaz album are checked so that's not the problem.
I have read about 25 pages worth of topics in this forum and see some similar posts but nothing exactly the same and no real answers anyway. I have already tried restoring to original settings.
Thanks,
Ivica

Do you have disk use enabled? If so, maybe too much space is allocated to disk use. Check this in iTunes when the iPod is connected by clicking on the settings tab. If you are not using the iPod as a storage device you can turn this option off.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (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.

  • How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

    Greetings!
    After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
    Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
    How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
    I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing.  It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
    I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

    To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.

  • IPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in "Pause" mode.  No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker.  I have 418 songs stored and none will play.

    iPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in “Pause” mode.  No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker.  I have 418 songs stored and none will play. I have tried resetting, turning on and off the iPod, etc. but to no avail.

    Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • I attempted to download a song. It originally did not download correctly. I refreshed the download and it supposedly completed. Upon playing the song in both my library and on the Itunes store it will not play past the first 5 seconds. How can I fix this?

    Hello Whitney262,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I would go ahead and make sure you can first download the content, then remove the song from your iTunes Library, and download again from your iTunes past purchases.  The article below will walk you through the entire process:

    Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

    Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
    A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

    Can you play the song in iTunes?
    If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

    Hi,
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorizecomputer to play iTunes Store purchases.
    I have the latest iTunes on a PC (WindowsVista).
    I try to play a song from iTunes andit tells me I'm not authorized and prompts me for my password. This authorizesthe computer but when I try to play the same (or any previously purchased) songI still get the same error and re-prompt for password.
    I have tried thefollowing:
    1. Authorize mypurchases from an administrator account.
    2. Authorize usingthe correct account name.
    3. Turn Off UserAccount Controls.
    4. Remove the SCInfo folder.
    And this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    5. Installed the new iTunes
    6. I have double-checked that themusic was purchased by me by right clicking and hitting Info.
    7. I havede-authorized this PC and re-authorized (which it confirms) it to the same effect.
    The number ofPC's authorized is only 1, this one.
    I do not know what else to try?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Will the Hong Kong iTunes store movie selection be expanded and will TV shows be made available?
    This is a determining factor as to whether I will buy an Apple TV.
    So far the movie selection is around 150 only with no TV shows available. Having said that the HD playback is flawless!

    We're all just fellow users here and as such have no information as to where Apple's negotiations with the HK movie and TV show owners might stand. It's totally up to those owners, and even in the US, the content owners have been reluctant. We'll all just have to wait and see.

  • Older iTunes Store Purchases Won't Play Completely in iTunes or on my iPhone

    I'm on a Mac using iTunes 10.5.1 and an iPhone 4 running iOS 5. I recently had to restore my computer (including my iTunes library) from a backup, and I've run into a problem with playing some of my older iTunes Store purchases both on my computer and on my iPhone. When I play them in iTunes or on the iPhone, older purchases (from, say, 2006) will stop about one minute from the end of the recording, while newer purchases (within the last year) will play all the way through. The files themselves don't seem to be corrupt -- I can play them all the way through in Quicktime, just not in iTunes or on my iPhone.
    My computer is authorized on my account, although the "Account Name" associated with the file (in File | Get Info) is an old e-mail address.
    Any ideas? I would like to be able to play my old purchases in iTunes and on my iPhone.

    I had a similar issue, my 2nd Gen ipod shuffle that has been working fine for years did not show up in Itunes (I got a Windows message saying my USB device was not recognized).  This issue started after I installed the latest version of itues, 11.2.0.115.  I found this and it solved my problem.

    I just stopped the ipod service and then started it again, now my shuffle shows up in itunes just like it used to.
