Playlists disappeared and newly synced music only plays half through the song then goes silent

happened yesterday and the "connect" option started appearing too. reloaded the app...no fix. any ideas, has this happened to anyone else? i am properly logged in with my premium account and i was not a member prior to 2011.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & 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 unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
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.

HT1725 My purchases are only playing halfway through the song then they jump to the next song even though the download has been completed "successfully". Does this mean an incomplete download? How do I rectify this? Please help

Delete and redownload.
You do not pay for redownloads. Follow the direction:

Only plays half of the song???

I purchased a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony some months ago, and was listening to the 4th movement today, when, about 14 minutes into it, it stopped playing. I tried playing it again, and again at the same point (just about 14:11) it stopped. I updated iTunes, restarted the computer, and still it stops playing at the same spot. The other three movements of the Symphony are fine and play all the way through. Anyone know what's going on here?

Be sure you have done this to Reset the shuffle, since you noticed this problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle, which is done by select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and going to the Summary tab. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. Maybe the shuffle had some type of data corruption in its storage. Erasing it (with a Restore) should resolve that type of problem, and give it a fresh start.

My itunes won't stop. Starts on it's own, plays half of the song and quits. Videos override everything.Why won't itunes quit?

My iTunes won't quit! It starts on it's own, plays half of the song, then videos take over. Make it go away!

Are you following this instructions:
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually

My ipod nano 6 will only play one or two songs then I have to force the next song to play. It will start several songs before settling on one. This just started and I havent changed anything. How to I make it go back to playing songs continuously?

Then back it up and do a restore. If that does not work and if you are still under warranty, call Apple tech support or take the iPod to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

IPod only gets half of the songs from new albums...

I have an iPod classic, purchased in 2008. I am running into an issue where when I add new albums to iTunes (not from the iTunes store or from an actual CD), only about half of the songs will make it on to the iPod when I sync. The songs all show up and work on iTunes, and my iPod is set up to add the entire library, but some of the songs just don't make it on there. The iPod isn't anywhere near capacity. I've tried adding them to specific playlists and although they show up fine on iTunes, they are just completely missing from the playlist on the actual iPod. Everything is up to date, software wise, so I'm hoping someone can offer some guidance. Thank you!

Error correction may be the problem; it was for me. See if it is checked and if it is uncheck it. You will find it under File>Preferences>Advanced>Importing. I hope this solves your problem.

I can't figure out how to get my music to shuffle on my iPhone 5s. If I try to skip a song, it skips about 100 songs. It only ends up playing 4 or 5 songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

I can't figure out how to get the music on my iPhone5s to shuffle. If I use the arrows to skip a song, it shuffles through a handful of the same songs then goes back to the song menu. Help please!

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

TS1424 some albums when downloaded only play partial parts of songs then skips to the next song how do i fix this?

i downloaded Korn the path of totality and the first 4 songs work the next 4-5 just plays 10-12 seconds of the song then skips to the next the last 4 songs seems to work. Also i downloaded Tyga- carless world and each song shows up twice on my iphone and it only plays a couple of the songs, it wont play some and skips to others ones it seems random, but it plays fine on my itunes on my computer.

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 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 songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

ITunes only play half of a song

Hey, i just bought songs from iTunes and one of the songs is only played half way through and then iTunes skips to the next song. How can i fix that? thanks

1. Delete the song from your iTunes library
2. Redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links
(Quick Links is on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes)
3. Check and play song- it should play in its entirety now. If not contact support.

Several of my purchased itunes songs, only first half of the song is there?

I have just updated to ios 5.0 on my phone and itunes10 on my pc. I bought about 30 songs in the last week and have found 3 that are just the first 30 seconds of the song, then it is just blank. I have not played then all yet so I don't know if there are more. How do I download these again or get the whole song to play?

Try contacting support and request for a fresh copy.

I just downloaded 15 songs, almost half will only play parts of the songs. Some only will play 2 seconds!! How do I fix this? Apple doesn't exactly have a customer service number and I've already paid for my purchases. This has never happened before.

I just downloaded 15 songs to my ipod and only about half will fully play. The others only play a minute or two with some only playing for seconds. I have never had this happen before. There isn't exactly a customer service number for apple so I'm not sure what to do. I'm pretty irritated sonce I've paid for all of them. Please help!!!

I would delete them from your library and then redownload them from the iTunes Store.
Steps/instructions on how to redownload them can be found here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

TS1424 I purchased an album and it only plays half of the first few songs but the full version of others, can I get that fixed?

It was the Dashboard Confessional album "A mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar."

If the tracks that do not play fully also fail to sync with your portable devices, then you probably had an error in downloading these tracks. To solve this problem:
1. Delete the problem tracks from your library and hard disk.
2. Go to the Home screen of the iTunes Store.
3. Click "Purchased" under "Quick Links."
4. Click the "Not on This Computer" button.
5. Find your album with the missing tracks and download again.
Hope this helps.

My Iphone 4s says connected to TV and will not let me watch any videos on Safari, and only plays sound through the device. I have not messed with the settings, and have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It's update is IOS 6.1.3

I have an Iphone 4S and It won't let me watch videos on my safari, which I do everyday. It says that I am connectef to a tv, yet I have not connected it to a tv during the entire time i've owned this product. I have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It plays the sound through the device, but it will not play the video at all. the update is IOS 6.1.3

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer
