Random songs are stopping early when playing in iTunes 11.2.2, any ideas as to why?

I've never had this issue before now, and it's only doing it to random songs. I checked the stop time and it's set to the end of each one, but iTunes still ends it earlier than it should. Any ideas? Thanks...

Hey bgrsox,
Thanks for the question. I understand that random songs are not playing back fully in iTunes. The following resource may assist you:
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.

Purchased songs from Itunes STILL not playing on ipod mini

I read all the posts about this issue, of purchased Itunes songs not playing on ipod. I deauthorized the computer and all computers associated with the account. then re authorized them. I reset the ipod several times, and also restored the ipod. I reinstalled the itunes software. I changed the sync to manual. removed one of the purchased songs. reauthorized the computer, then manually added the song back. I renamed the song. I even tried with downloading the free song. Any other suggestions. It made me look bad when after all of this I still could not fix the users issue. Other than declaring it a HARDWARE issue, I thought there could be a registry setting with the authorizing that did not happen properly. Has anyone else experienced this issue , and NOT been able to fix it. It would really appreciate any advice. My only conclusion was hardware, and the user states they had already spoke with apple who declined to help.

It may be an authorization issue. Both iTunes and the iPod need to be up-to-date.
Usually, you need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS within iTunes to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.4), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
If the above 'standard' fixes did not help, then it's a bigger problem that I can diagnose...

Songs I don't own showing in iCloud

Hi,
this is a weird one. Basically I was browsing the iTunes app on my iPhone 4 (running the dreaded iOS6) and went into the purchased section. I saw there was an option to download songs not on my iPhone. Navigated to this and downloaded a couple songs but then I noticed there were some artists in there I didn't even recognize. I touched into the artist to see what song it was and it just continually failed to load anything. The artist I was actually trying was someone called Steve Mac. So I went into my iTunes to check the historical list of all my purchased songs and this confirmed what I thought, that I have never bought or downloaded a Steve Mac song. So this is an erroneous listing. It's unselectable but it won't dissappear, at least not since I noticed it yesterday morning. Unfortunately there are a couple more showing like this too. I can't confirm if this arose because of iOS6 as I have never checked this particular section before. Do others see/have the same - How can these erroneous listings be removed?
Many thanks,
Wayne

Ok I think I worked out what they are. David Guetta, Foo Fighters, One Direction, Steve Mac. Well I don't remember Steve Mac but the others were all part of the '12 Days of Christmas' promotion. So I guess it creates a glitch as they aren't available to download in the cloud as technically I didn't buy them but they stay in the list.
However, it seems the tv shows/videos are still available to download as things like Top Gear Christmas Special, House Pilot are available to me.
It's slightly annoying as the music won't show the all music not on the iphone in one list because of the above glitch. I have to go in artist by artist to see the songs. Hope that kinda makes sense.

Random songs in library won't sync to iPod

I can't seem to find anything on this so I thought I would throw it out there...I have my iTunes library on a 250 Seagate external HDD. About two weeks ago, I connected my iPod to sync it (5th Gen 60GB)and iTunes couldn't seem to find the new songs. I manually told iTune where they were, resynced, and then it couldn't find a much larger selection of the library that was different from the first. I removed the library, started over and everything seemed fine until I connected the iPod and the same thing happened. I can't seem to get the entire library onto the iPod. There's enough room on the iPod to hold the entire library. I'm not sure if it iTunes, the iPod or the HDD. I purchased another external harddrive (since I needed to back up anyway) and the same thing happened with the new HDD (WD 350). Any ideas?

I have noticed that it seems to be a bit rate size problem. My iPhone only adds songs or vids less than 127bps. Now, it's possible that it could be slightly higher, but that seems to be the limit of the stuff I have. Nothing 158bps or 160bps or 192bps or 256bps syncs over, though it did last week! Is it possible this limit was inadvertently imposed in the last update? Problem only appeared after last iTunes update. Could have been with 3.0 update but I don't think so. However I have noticed when they do sync, after I play them or partially play them they disappear from the playlist on the iPhone, should I go to another app and them come back to it.
I don't want to reduce the bit rate, I want iTunes to fix itself, gol-darnit!
Anyone know of a solution or heard of this?

Songs downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod

Hi, maybe someone can help me. Recently I noticed that the songs I have downloaded from itunes are not playing on my ipod. They are working fine on my computer. As far as I know all my software is up to date and I even tried backing up my files and restoring my ipod, and the songs from itunes are still not playing. Is there something else I can do?

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

Purchased songs and videos won't play on iPod

new 5th gen iPod shows songs and videos purchased from itunes onto computer and synched into ipod library, but won't play them. songs loaded from cd play fine on ipod.

Usually when this happes, the software on the ipod os not up to date.
whe nyou connect the ipod to the computer and the ipod shows in itunes under devices, click the update or restore button to the right in the summary screen so itunes can check online to see if there is an updated version of the ipod software online.
If you update first and that does not work, try the restore.

I've downloaded iTunes but, I don't own the latest iPod Touch. Can I buy apps before I link a iPod

I've downloaded iTunes last year and never really used it to sync my old iPod classic after changing computer. I'm gonna get a iPod Touch in a few weeks (Xmas gift) and, I wanted to ask, can I buy 'Garage Band' app and other apps before I link this new iPod? (I've already bought a few but thought I'd best check in case I lose 'em!)
Thanks

Thank you for your help. I didn't think about that one! I just assumed the ones for sale on iTunes were the latest updated versions.
I'm starting with the iPod Touch 8GB from Argos at £149.99 Then, I'm gonna upgrade my Nokia N8 to a iPhone 4S inthe new year. I've heard there might be a iPad 3 due in the new year and, I'd like to get one of those too.
I love all this technology This iPod Touch seems awesome with all those functions like 'Facetime', 'HD video recording', etc. I can't wait to get going on it and using them apps!
Thanks again for your help.

ICloud backed up songs that I don't own

After buying a new iPhone 4S, I attempted to restore my iCloud backup because I was on vacation and had many unreplaceable pictures up to the point that my old iPhone bit the dust. The restore worked to an extent, as the phone was back to the way my old one was except the part that I wanted the most. In Photos it was stuck at "Downloading 2 of 64" but nothing had downloaded yet. I later realized the "2" was only the software assuming that any pictures on the phone must have been downloaded already. I know it can take a very long time to complete the restore, but on day 2 here I decided to start investigating.
I found that it was stuck at trying to download purchased music, and was trying to download songs that belonged to my ex-gf's appleID, which all showup greyed out in my music list. I deleted them from the download queue, but they all showed up again the next day and never came out of my music list either. In my reading, everyone is saying that in order to resolve this you need to ditch your backup and start fresh, or some derivitive of that. I really want these pictures from iCloud, any way to get the restore to no longer be hung trying to download songs I don't own and don't have the appleID password to just download and be done with?
Tried deleting all music, didn't work now only thing in my music list is the greyed out songs.
Don't have a backup on my PC that has the pictures I need.
Tried signing out, signing back in.
Restarted multiple times.
Tried entering my appleID into the field when when it asked for the download, this has no effect.
Tried numerous other things, but open to suggestions...

AH, nevermind. I just downloaded itunes to my laptop last night and reformatted and restored my ipod.

ITunes 7.01 won't let me get rid of songs that I don't want on my iPod

I'm trying to get rid of the songs I don't want on my iPod on iTunes 7.01 but I can't. How do I get rid of songs that I don't want on my iPod on iTunes 7.01?

delete the songs on the library list with the ipod connected, and then choose sync ipod, that should do it

Songs greyed out whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes?

I own an iPod touch 4G. The problem I'm having is whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes, a certain 6 songs show up as "greyed out" and are listed as the most recently added songs. It's not a huge problem but it's bothersome. One of the songs, "Survival" by Muse is on my iPod, the exact same version I purchased and it is not greyed out and I can play it normally. The other songs I don't have on my iPod (not from their respective albums at least, but from a compilation I purchased). They do not show up greyed out on my iPod music, just on iTunes under Music under my iPod name. I don't know why these 6 songs show up greyed out, there's no reason they should. Please help me get rid of this so I don't have to deal with it again!

Try a new cable and different USB port
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

I don't own an Apple device, but I have purchased an audio album from the iTunes store. How can I play this on my android phone, as I am unable to burn the album to mp3 format? Can I obtain a refund if this is not possible? Thanks

p.s. I am not knowledgeable of Apple/iTunes etc, I was under the impression that if I purchased an album then I can use my purchase on a non-Apple device

Micky,
The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format. Most Android phones can play AACs. Just sync them to your phone per the instructions with the phone.
If by any chance your phone does require MP3 format, you can use iTunes to convert the files, per this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
(This conversion does not require burning.)
For future reference, note that the iTunes Store is really optimized for people using Apple devices. You might find it more convenient to buy music in Mp3 format from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music.

My ipod click skips to random songs after playing 10 seconds of a song

my ipod click skips to random songs after playing 10 seconds of a song and it won't reset either, can anyone help?
ipod click Windows 2000

There are three possible causes of skipping music after playing a bit of the song:
1) the music on your computer is munged
2) the music was munged as it transferred to your iPod
3) the iPod is 'confused'
Listen to a couple songs on your computer - the same ones that are skipping on your iPod. Are they okay? Scratch problem 1 - otherwise you have some reripping to do, assuming you haven't backed them up.
Next, reset your iPod. If the music is still skipping then the fastest fix is to use your restore/upgrade software to restore the iPod. This will erase the music and re-install the iPod's operating system which will take care of possible problems 2 and 3.
If the iPod isn't resetting - first make sure you are following the reset instructions for your iPod. There are different methods for different generations. Also, sometimes it is best to reset with the iPod plugged in. Finally, make sure you don't have the hold button set.
