Part of my song won't play.

I downloaded music and the song cuts off in the middle.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, 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.
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.

GB3 has problems playing GB2 songs "Part of the song was not played"

I have just bought iLife '06. After everything was installed and set up, I loaded a GarageBand 2 song and pressed play on my iControl. Just seconds into playback, I got the following message:
PART OF THE SONG WAS NOT PLAYED
This song has too many tracks, effects, or notes to be played in real-time.
To optimize perfomance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
Funny, I never had that problem with GarageBand 2! The song always played with no such issues before I updated (except the one I guess we all know, and that's the beat counter (between the transport and master volume slider) doesn't show accurate time and seems to be a little behind and slows down.
After reading other posts, I seem to be a little more lucky than most: my iControl still works (without having to connect it after GarageBand has loaded), I don't have any duplicate file issues, my JamPack 2 is still there but (on the not so lucky side), I do have the snap-to-grid issue.
The song I am trying to play back, anyone can download and try, so here is the url if you want to try it for yourself:

Download 'The Hand That Feeds' and you'll see what I mean (unless you have a far more powerful computer than an iMac G5 17" iSight 1.9GHz with Tiger 10.4.4).

(Ah, it took me some time to understand the concept. And it's great to have pro artists' tracks to listen to and play with.)
I played the song on my office Mac (iMac G5 1.6 GHz), and here's what happened: It played without any problems on the first run, from beginning to end, the cursor always being snow white.
When I went back and tried out several soloed tracks, starting here and there, suddenly I got the "too many tracks" message, and now the song won't play through.
Interestingly, the cursor still stays white. So the computer doesn't show any signs of CPU strain, it just stops playing.

What do you mean by "won't play"?
Try deleting the song and downloading it again from the iTunes Store.

Try putting the files back where they were before you moved them, then follow the steps in this Apple document -> iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

TS1489 My songs won't play on Windows 7 version of iTunes. Everything on my PC is up to date. Windows Media Player works fine. I followed the directions and nothing has changed. I have already tried to re-install iTunes but that hasn't worked either.

Itunes worked after reseting my computer to factory setting however had trouble again after syncing my iPod and iPod shuffle. Is this a coincidence or could it be the cause of the problem?

TS1389 One of my purchased songs won't play. Every time I try to play the song it says to authorize my computer. I have repeatedly tried logging in to authorize this song and it isn't working. The problem is only happening with one song.

I purchased a bunch of songs last month and one song won't play. Every time I try to play it the window pops up to authorize my computer to play that particular purchase. I tried all of the suggestions that Itunes support send me to. Nothing has worked so far. The song is on my account as a purchased item along with the other items that I purchased the same day. Does anyone have any ideas??

The very same thing has happened to me today...........? Could it be a song pending release? Seems unlikely. Please post any resolutions.

HT1325 tried everything my puchased songs won't play..

I need someone to help me out this has been bothering me or how can I get my refund back this crazy!

If only a small number of songs won't play, delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country. If all of the protected content won't play, click here and follow the instructions.

My old computer died just after I transferred iTunes via external HD. When I transferred the content from the HD to the new computer, most songs won't play. Message is "Can't identify source". Sharing was on in the old computer when it died.

I just downloaded an album but one song won't play instead a message that "This computer is not authorized" to play the song. The prompt has a log in and when I log in it tells me the computer is already authorized. What gives?

Thundercat). I purchased the entire album and it even played fine the first listen through.

Hi,
If you are in a country that permits redownloads, delete track and go to iTunes Store > purchased and redownload. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

HT1491 I purchased an album with bonus songs but the bonus songs won't play. What is the problem ?

I purchased an album with bonus songs but the bonus songs won't play. Whazt's the problem ?

Okay, that sounds like the dodgy tracks have been getting damaged during the download.
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.

My Itunes opens on my PC but the songs won't play, I have no idea about what to do?

My Itunes opens on my PC but the songs won't play. I have no idea about what to do to resolve the issue. I appreciate any help. It is an HP computer about a year old running Windows 7.

Try forgetting the network, reboot your iPad and then try joining the network again.
Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Go back to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Enter your password>Tap Join.
If that doesn't work, reset network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Reboot the iPad again. Go back to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Enter your password>Tap join.

HT3951 I downloaded an album and 2 of the songs won't play

I downloaded an album and 2 of the songs won't play and it's showing that the songs are fully downloaded. I have the latest version of itunes. If anyone knows what the problem is and how to fix it, please help!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them 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 they re-download 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 those tracks and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 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.
