Only half of a song imports...why?

I am trying to import George Straits second disc of his greatest hits. I have a lot of cds imported. I have enough room on itunes for the whole cd. I just noticed if I click on that song it doesn't play it. It goes back to one of the top ones. The time on it says 789:57. Why won't it import the last song? I think I had it on there on time before and I deleted it for some reason. Would that be why? Someone please help me.

It might be a bad download. But first thing to check is to click on the song, do a Get Info, then go to the Option tab. Make sure the Start and Stop time boxes are NOT checked, which will play the whole song. If either is checked, the tune will start or stop at the time indicated.

  • Only half of a song playing?

    I just brought a song of the iTunes store, it downloaded fine but only half of the song plays. It plays up until about 2 minutes and then goes on to the next song...
    Why does it do this =/

  • HT201272 When I download a previously purchased song to my iMac only half of the song plays

    Any idea why only half of every song plays when I download a previously purchased album or song to my iMac?

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest of the songs keep trying to download and then come up with an error saying they cannot download at this time. I'm not sure what the issue is.

    I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • I recently tried to import 2 CDs but on one, only the first 4 songs imported and on the second, only the first 6 imported.  The CDs work fine in a CD player.  Any suggestions?

    Rip the CDs with another program on your computer, and add the resulting MP3s to your iTunes library.  (If you use Windows Media Player for this purpose, make sure the Rip Setting is on MP3, or else it will default to a useless format known as WMA.)

  • Genius only works on some songs?  WHy - there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason.  Decemberists yes, Lana del Rey no.  Ideas?

    Is there a batch process that runs in the evening? Perhaps that ends up cleaning out the data from the buffer cache, turning logical I/O's into physical I/O's early in the morning.
    Can you check the statistics on the table before the process starts and after you re-gather statistics? Perhaps there is a nightly process that is altering the statistics at an unfortunate time or in an unfortunate way.
    The previous poster's comment about getting a trace file is excellent as well-- whatever your session is waiting on will be apparent in the trace.

    Try deleting the problematic file (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.

  • Only half of video is imported into itunes

    I clicked on 'file', then 'add file to library' and clicked on a home video. It imported it into my library as such - but only half of it. The video stops playing (in iTunes) exactly halfway through it. When I play the video using Windows Media Player it works fine. Why is this happening? <<<<< How it looks like after half way through, it goes blank.
    When I download it to my iPod Touch 5 the same thing happens. I have the latest iTunes version and have Windows 7. The video is an MP4 video.
    Please help!!! I need it on my iPod Touch to Airplay it on a TV by Friday!!!!

    This is a known issue with a recent Windows update.

  • Only half an album has imported to my library

    I purchased an album from iTunes on my iPhone6 a couple of weeks ago.  It has only half synced with my Mac- when I try to play the first 4 songs of the album it skips to the 5th and I can't find an option on iTunes to re-download it, other than to.  Any ideas?

  • ITunes is playing only part of a song.  Why?

    About two and a half years ago I discovered a fan site for my favorite band that allowed other fans to download (for free!) bootleg recordings of the band's concerts. I've played the files a zillion times with no problems. Recently, I discovered that at least two of these files are not playing correctly in iTunes. iTunes will play only a portion of the song before it abruptly switches to the next song in the list.
    For example, one of the songs is 8:28, but iTunes will only play the first 1:38 before it switches to the next song. Even more curious, if I allow the first 1:37 to play and then force iTunes to pick the song up again at 1:41 by dragging the cursor on the horizontal line indicating song progression (in the small window that also lists song title/album name/artist), iTunes will begin to play the first 1:38 again (although the horizontal line indicating progression shows that you are 1:41+ seconds into the song).
    I cannot replace these files because the site where I found them has been taken down. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? Thanks!
    By the way, I am running iTunes version 8.0.2

    I should add that I downloaded 34 tracks (including the two affected files) from the fan site on 6.2.2006 and 6.3.2006. After looking at the 'Date Added' column, 6 songs (including the two affected tracks) are listed as having been added on 4.3.2007 and 1 song is listed as having been added on 11.18.2006. In fact, those songs would have been downloaded on the same days as all the other files--6.2.2006 and 6.3.2006.

  • HT1725 Only half of a song downloaded, how do I fix this?

    I bought a song on my computer, and only a minute and 40 seconds downloaded.  After that, iTunes skips to the next song.  How should I handle this without messing things up?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
