Re: Songs skipping after downloading from iTunes

I am having problems with the songs skipping when I use itunes to play them on my computer. I have deleted them and redownloaded. It does not fix the problem. What do I do next?

Hello, cajunkiwi.
Thank you for the question. There are a couple options to help you with this. If limited purchased media skips only on the iPhone, then delete the affected content and download it again free of charge via the purchased section of the iTunes Store. If almost all of your media library skips on the iPhone only, remove all music from the device by removing the preference to sync music. After this has been completed, restore the sync music preference to place the media back on the the device. Below are a couple articles that will walk you through this process.

Are you sure to have the full length file in the library? If you start playing it, will it show the full runtime on the controls?

Lost songs after downloading from itunes

Hi,
I have gotten overly frustrated and decided to not use itunes for the last couple of months because of it! In July, I lost my itunes library when my hard drive crashed. I emailed itunes then and they told me how to get back the majority of the songs I had bought from itunes. I did these steps and found that I was still missing a great deal of bought itunes songs and albums. Some examples are albums by Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat, and James Blunt. I did make a back up disk at one point of my itunes but I was not able to retrieve the songs off of this either. Now my itunes has the songs I was able to download back in July and a ton of broken links to all my other songs. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you

I would call Apple back, explain to them that you are very upset, and if that doesn't help, tell the Apple Customer Service people that your friends are hearing about the bad costumer service at Apple (because of this particular issue) and now you are recommending that they get a PC instead of buying a new Mac. I think that will do the trick! Don't forget the part about recommending to your friends to buy a PC instead of a new Mac, that will be the selling piece!
Hope it helps,
Brandon

Corrupt aac files after downloading from iTunes!

Hi,
the download manager of iTunes is bad! If downloads are interrupted and resumed later (lack of electricity supply, disruption of the Internet connection), then aac files are not valid! Such a file stops playing in the middle of the song, for example. Yesterday I checked my library (with Parallels Desktop + Win XP + foobar2000 + foo verifier) and I found 45 invalid aac files! All of these files I recently downloaded (iTunes Match matching process).
Why iTunes don't check the file size or a checksum after downloading???

Yes. I've had and continue to have this problem of a small number of songs getting downloaded corrupt when updatings songs via iTunes Match.
Deleting and re-downloading from iTunes Match is the only solution I have found for the problem as I am having it: the songs ARE corrupted for me, and it's not just a metadata problem. When I open the songs in an audio editing program you can see that the audio just isn't there: the data stops before the end of the song (somewhere between 50% and 70% through the piece, usually). So copying it to another computer or re-importing it won't fix anything.
The problem is that iTunes doesn't KNOW which of the songs I've matched-then-downloaded via iTunes Match are bad, and I won't know either until I happen to play one that skips before it ends.
Here's the only solution I've found that will inspect these songs one at a time and list the bad ones:
Create a Playlist of all songs you've downloaded (upgraded) via iTunes Match.
Plug in an iPod (etc.) and wipe out whatever songs are on it already.
In the iTunes setting for that iOS device, tell it to recompress the songs to 128k AAC as it puts the songs onto the iOS device.
Now sync that entire Playlist to the device and wait.
Result: all songs that cannot be down-converted by iTunes to 128k AAC (because the song data is bad) will be listed in the resulting error dialog.
Here's the total suck part: iTunes doesn't let you save that list of errors off to a text file. You have to do one or more screen captures and save off the list, then manually go find those songs, delete them and re-download them from iTunes Match. Total PIA but it's the best I have come up with, since I can find no other utility or means to batch-check that these files are valid.

Songs Unable To Download from iTunes to iPhone 4S

Everytime I attempt to download a song from itunes to my iphone 4S, it stops, goes straight to saying its done, then starts from the beginning again...how can I fix this? Sometimes when I buy and download a song it does download but, the songs that keep re-starting do not. They skip to the end then start from the beginning several times, then eventually just stop and say "Download Error". I had this problem once before but randomly it stopped and the songs with the problem downloaded. It randomly started again though now and I am not sure why. If anyone knows how I can fix this it would br great, TY^^!

Either the service did not install when you set up iTunes, or it has been stopped for some reason. If you are using Win7, go to the start orb, click, type services at the bottom. Then look in the window that opens for the Apple service(s), and start them all. Then reload iTunes and try again. If you don't find an Apple service, then you will need to install iTunes again, and be sure it is the current (10.2) version.

Where is the song I just downloaded from iTunes

Hi There,
I'm new to Mac and iTunes. I just went to iTunes store on my Mac Book Pro and bought song.
But I can't find it under my music.
Please help me. Where do I go to see the song?
Thanks

On my Mac, on the left side of the main iTunes window, the second group of playlists is marked "Store" and third on that list is one named "Purchased" and within it are all the songs I've ever downloaded from the iTunes Store on this machine over several years - many freebies along with the few that I paid for.

Skipping after purchasing from itunes

After purchasing an entire album from itunes, I have noticed occasional little gaps in the music on playback. This has happened once before on a vocal album but this latest is instrumental so it is much more noticable. Anyone else experienced this?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

iTunes purchased songs can't be converted to another format because they are copy protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) software. The rules of the forum do not allow discussions on getting around the copy protection.
"Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store."

Can not find a movie file after downloading from iTunes.

After downloading a movie in iTunes Store (with iTunes Extra feature), I don't know why I can't find the main movie file on my hard drive (only iTunes Extra file was showed). What can I do?

I can't find a movie I downloaded and iTunes wants me to purchase it again.

How do I get songs I've downloaded from iTunes to be transferred to my iPhone 5? I have to use internet or data to play now.

I recently got my new iPhone 5 and now all the songs I previously downloaded can only be played if I'm on the internet or want to use part of data package. Is there anyway to get these songs on my iPhone? In iTunes it says the songs are stored on the cloud and I can't sync them with my iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

This topic has been covered in-depth on this forum.
With iTunes Match enabled traditional syncing of music via USB is disabled and all music management takes place directly on the iOS device. To sync via USB iTM must me disabled.
