Only part of songs downloaded!

I bought the new Florence and the Machine ablum and the first 3 or 4 songs are only partly downloaded, about 30-40 seconds long, but the rest of the songs are fully downloaded!
why is this and how can I get the full songs?
Thanks

Contact the iTunes Store support people using Express Lane, they should be able to take care of the problem.

Only part of song downloaded.

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. See the following document for instructions:
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

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......

How do i burn only parts of songs onto a cd

how do i burn only parts of songs onto a cd?

Use an audio editor such as Audacity to make a separate file of the part you want and burn that to a CD.

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.

HT201272 Downloaded only part of songs

Hi there,
During an attempt to download purchases from iTunes Store, one album did not successfully download, for every song on the album only parts of each song are downloaded even thought the counter shows the full song as being there. How can I re-download?

Your suggestion got me a reply from Apple which had some suggestions. One of which was restarting iTunes. I had already done that and finally after two shutdowns of the computer and restarting iTunes I was able to go to check available downloads. The downloads began again and completed.
I had tried to delete the partially downloaded songs so they could be reloaded but didn't knoe the trick to do this. If you want to delet songs hold down the option and delete keys to get a dialog box to verify deletion. here is the method from Apple.
"On a Mac: Press the Option key and the Delete key on the keyboard.
On Windows: Press the Shift key and the Delete key on the keyboard.
The following dialogue will appear: “Are you sure you want to remove the selected song from your iTunes library?”
Note: If you do not see this message when deleting files from the library, you may have selected the option “Do not ask me again” at some point in the past. To allow iTunes to display this message again, open the Advanced tab of the iTunes Preferences, and click the Reset button next to “Reset all dialogue warnings.”
This second dialogue may also appear: “Do you want to move the selected song to the Trash, or keep it in the iTunes Media folder? Only files in the iTunes Media folder will be moved to the Trash.”
Note: This message will not appear if all of the selected files are stored outside of the iTunes Media folder location. iTunes will leave these files on your computer wherever they are located"

HT203167 Part of songs downloaded

Only a portion of some songs downloaded. I burnt CD's, trying to build a collection. Now listening to those CD's they are incomplete. How do I get the music that is missing. How do I re-set the number of downloads I did on the other songs so I can burn the collection I want? I know I can burn 7 of each song, but is there a way I can reset my counter so I regain the once I burnt on CD's that are incomplete. I don't want to have to continually skip past incomplete songs. I'm also irritated at the wasted CD's.

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:

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?

HT201272 I am missing parts of songs downloaded from itunes.they are in my purchased section but not in the artists folder.they play for the first part but do not complete the track

For the last few downloads the albums have been incomplete.most of the tracks are ok, but two or three tracks start ok but do not finish ,stopping after an short part and then going on to the next track. the songs are complete when i check them in the purchased section, but are incomplete in the album folder.

Thank you, I read that lengthy procedure before I asked the question.
I have no way of following all of those steps successfully since I am about butterfingered a sthe last dinosaur and will make every mistake in the world and get frustrated with something that SHOULD be simple.
I have the three disk autobook showing in iTunes library as one title , I had to enter the dat amyself since it was not listed on the internet data base, All entries for all tracks match and I have indicated the disk number as one, two or three of three as indicated.
Yet when I sync the iTunes to the iPod I am being presented with each individual track listed in the Audiobook Menu.
I am using the latest version of iTunes and a iPod Classic 160G-- that I purchased three days ago purposefully for the converting of the audiobooks to a portable device since the Library of Congress ( NLS BARD ) books are formatted differently and the player is bulky.
Does anybody hav eany other ideas?
Does anybody have an e-mail address for Apple, preferably iTunes folks?
This is a handicap accessability problem since my wife cannot see and depends on these audio books.
Obviously I will try that link to that Chapter and Verse site and see what I can do.
Thank you for your quick response

Ipod plays only part of song then goes to next song

This has happened to me 2 times.
I have songs in my Ipod shuffle. I download/upload new cd into my library (my library is wholly made up of my personal cds) then put them on my ipod. The ipod shows the new songs and plays them EXCEPT some (most but not all) of the NEW songs loaded stop abruptly and the next song starts.
2 times I have done trouble shooting to find out if I play the same song through my computer (rather than straight from the suffle) if it plays partially or not (the music library on the computer plays the whole song) and both times the computer abruptly shows that my suffle is corrupted. I reset to factory settings and reload my music library and all songs play fine.
I don't want to have to do this every time I upload music -- and I want the entire song to play. What should I do next time I load a cd into my library and onto my suffle???.
Gateway Laptop Windows XP

I have this problem too. It's happening on 7.6.1 (9). I authorized this computer but they still don't play. They don't even play fully off the cd that I burned from the computer I purchased them on.

I bought a Mac and transferred my music from iTunes on old computer to new mac- now some songs are only partly on- song stops before finishing song...whats up?

My itunes on my mac and a lot (not all) of the songs that I transferred are not in complete...it shows the correct time of song but goes to next song after a certain amount of time...I have found at least 20 but know there are more as I havent checked every song...

Yes, and because of the number of comments I see about this I will say this seems to be a bug with recent iTunes. Apart from rebuilding the library from ground up I don't know of a sure cure for it. Are you running the newest version of iTunes?

Why did only part of my song download?

I downloaded a song and only part of it completed but it isn't still in the download section. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem with many songs. More if the song is a track in an Album, se next song start and plays for the remaining time of the first one! I tryed to redownload with no success . The problem is not only with the uploaded songs but also with the matched!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.
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.

HT201272 Only part of a song downloaded from itunes store

Only part of a song (the first 12 seconds) downloaded and I nothing in my download list. How can i download the entire song?

Hey AMumey,
That definitely sounds frustrating. I agree that this song may have not downloaded completely. See the following article:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country
Thanks,
Matt M.
