Only half of songs downloaded

Hi I have recently downloaded an album (Bruce Springsteen Greatest Hits) when listening to it today I discovered that only half of each song has been downloaded. For example while it shows that the song "Born to Run" is 4:30 long it will only play until 1:25 before skipping to the next track. If I try to move the progress tracker ahead of this point it will automatically skip to the next track. This happens to all the songs at various points on the album.
I have go to the Download Previous Purchaces section but the Download button is greyed out so I dont know how to re download this purchace.
Can anyone please help me with this?
Cheers
Kim

Hi Carolyn,
When I go to Check for Available Downloads it says that "All purchases have been downloaded for this account". The download appeared to go fine when I did it it is only when I play the files that there is a problem. I have also discovered this same problem with another album I downloaded this same day ("Journey Greatest Hits").
Obviously there has been some malfunction that occurred on this day when I was purchasing these albums but I can't find any way to fix the problem by redownloading the files to replace the damaged ones. Apple sorely had a method of resolving problems where the downloaded file is damaged or corrupted in some way?

Only half a song downloaded from istore - rest of album is ok.

The first song of the album just cuts off abruptly but shows that the full song downloaded. Any ideas?

Unfortunately you can't redownload music in all countries, as you have found.
You can however contact iTunes support regarding this issue here:

I purchased an album but only half the songs will download. How do I get the other half to download?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one.
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

HT1725 I purchased an album and it downloaded. However, one song on the album has only half the song. I've tried to "download" the "available downloads", but the darn itunes states that it's already been downloaded. How do I get the rest of the song?

I purchased Alanis Morisette new album. All the songs have downloaded, or so it said. While listening to the album, only half of "celebrity" downloaded. I've checked the "available downloads" section and it says that all have been downloaded.
How do I get the rest of the song to download? I've read the support page about wifi issues, blah blah blah. Not the issue.
Thanks for any help.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the broken files from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

How do I return to iCLoud a playlist of 80 songs that I downloaded from iCloud to my MacBook? I only need the songs downloaded temporarily due to no WiFi. I want to keep the playlist in iCloud; just don't want them downloaded

How do I return (to iCloud from MacBook Pro) a playlist of 80 songs that I downloaded? I only needed the songs downloaded temporarily due to no WiFi. I want to keep the playlist in iCloud; just don't want them downloaded. I know how to delete songs, but is there a way to just "undo" and return songs to iCloud and maintain existing playlist on MacBook?

Use Flash Media Server to stream the files.......set up a timer and have all three of them play at once....and have a button switch the streams depending upon which stream you want to play.....and wallah......
you can also capture the stream.time from the video playing and resume from that point on the other videos as well....havent done this theoretically so I dont know how smooth the transistion between streams will be....but it can be done....
plus u may have to use double buffering techniques to make sure it starts up right away......

IPod Mini playing only half a song

I'm having a problem with my iPod mini. I uploaded a bunch of cd's onto my iPod last night. During the last cd my computer and iPod froze for about an hour. So I did the unthinkable and unhooked my iPod. Then all of my songs wouldn't play, so I deleted everything. Now when I upload songs, only half the song will play or sometimes the whole song will play but then the next song will only play a few seconds. It's very frustrating! What should I do?

What I suggest doing is using your ipod updater software to reset your mini to Factory Standards. Then, if you receive any problems during updating, there should be a little green keyboard with an arrow on your start toolbar by the time. It's called "Safely Remove Hardware" and you can use that to end the connection with your computer. And usually when compuers freeze, they should go back to normal within at least a day at the longest.

I keep getting exclamation marks on my playlist on itunes, but this is only for the songs downloaded on my phone. I can't play any songs on my phone, only on the original itunes library. Whats going on??

but this is only for the songs downloaded on my phone. I can't play any songs on my phone, only on the original itunes library. Whats going on??

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. Thes those iTunes are not restored to the iPod unless they are in the iTunes library.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

TS1424 download only half the song on a album

Just bought an Album on itunes. One song did not get downloaded completely. i have 1:35 of a over 3 minute song. How can i get the rest of the song downloaded??

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 Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
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' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can 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, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Ipad Remote app works for only half the songs in my iTunes library, and sound still comes out of my Mac instead of my iPad.

Can anyone offer suggestions? I realize there are two separate issues here.
1. I thought I successfully connected my iPad with the iTunes library on my Mac/ Hard Drive via the Remote app. However, more than half the songs in my music library will not play on the Ipad; when I click on any one of them using the iPad's Remote app & iTunes, I get a message box that says: "An unknown error occurred. Please check your library and try again." These songs all play fine through my Mac's Itunes program.
2. I had thought I could use the Remote app to get my library "into" my receiver, connecting the iPad to the receiver with an RCA-to-headphone adapter. This adapter works great to play music that "lives" on an iPod or iPad. But it does not seem to be able to access music that the ipad is controlling only remotely. If this is true I will be pretty unhappy...

Thank you. My two questions have now shifted.
1. You are right-- I have been unsure as to whether Homesharing or Remote was my answer, and I did set up Homesharing on both my Mac and iPad. It still appears that my music comes out of the Mac, only. How can i use Homesharing to allow the iPad to play music?
2. And I went back to check again, and saw that somehow, the songs that my iPad cannot locate are also somehow missing now on the Mac, even though they used to be accessible. My entire music library is stored on an external hard drive, which I used to connect to my Mac with USB. I just got a new router and now have the music hard drive connected via USB to IT instead of the Mac. I would bet that this is why so much of my library is no longer accessible-- I must have used different settings to save some of my songs, and the hard drive's new location shows that. Can anyone help me make my entire music library playable ? Thanks again

Only half my songs sync to my ipod from itunes...

i recently got a 5th gen nano...and used the same itunes library from my old ipod and just synced it to my new one...but ever since i switched it to my new ipod, i only get half my songs from my itunes! i know i have enough space when i sync my ipod everytime, but for some reason certain songs wont come up...i'll switch to manual and then back to automatic, and then a who new bunch of songs will go missing...but i never have all my songs at any given point in time! i've restored my ipod...and have deleted all my itunes and reloaded every song, just to find the problem is still there...i'm going crazy!! any suggestions i havent tried??? please help!! i'm desperate!!

Try this -> Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Downloaded skillet comatose album, only half the songs play, half way, not in their entirety

i'm new to iTunes. Downloaded a paid for album (Skillet, Comatose) some of the songs only play a few seconds and then cut out. What gives, can I redownload?

Why will only half my photos download to iPhoto?

Just got back from a great vacation with a lot of nice shots, but only about half of the photos would download from my Canon PowerShot S30. We have had this problem intermittently with iPhoto since our G5 was brand new. Sometimes all photos download, sometimes a few are missing, and sometimes as much as half. No rhyme or reason to it. The photos will occasionally download after trying reapeatedly. All photos download to a pc with no problem. Why can't we get our iPhoto to do it?
Thanks for any clues to this mystery!

On other occasions when I've had the same problem, there were no movie clips.<<<</div>
In that case, I don't know.
