So ive downloaded a few songs recently, and for some reason they play about 4-5 second or half way through then skip to the next song. Why is this?

I dont know why this would happen. Its happened to a few songs. i pay the full price for them and when i go to play them, they skip to the next song shortly after. Please help.

If those are purchased tracks (from ITS) then this is an old problem, and a continuing one.
The two most common fixes are either to work through ITS Support and get different copies of those tracks (they will never work correctly on the Shuffle as they are, and might actually get worse with time), or go through a process of burning those tracks off to a CD and then reimporting them back into iTunes.
Both of these have been discussed at length in these and other forums. Search for those threads and see what you want to try.

  • TS3219 OK so I purchased a few audio books and for some reason they will not load to my Iphone

    I need to know how to get my audio books to load to my phone

    Did it connect at one point? Does it connect to other wifi hotspots? Did you actually reboot the phone (Hold home button and sleep/wake button together for 10 seconds then let go)? Does the wifi router have the latest firmware from the manufacture's web page? Does the 4S have the latest iOS version?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Is your Premiere Elements 13 on Mac computer?
    I have not seen much in the way of alternatives coming from Adobe on the Premiere Elements 13.1 failed updates.
    But there seems to be several discussions on U44M11210 in the CC products...one
    Update failure. (U44M1I210) | Adobe Community
    You could try the uninstall, free ccleaner, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s)  and then try for the Help Menu/Update for 13.1..
    If Mac, https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
    If Windows, CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    The CC people seem to have the advantage of an online download of their update as well as the one via the Help Menu/Update.
    Premiere Elements does not have that perk - update only via Help Menu/Update.
    Please review and consider and please let us know of your progress as your schedule permits.
    Thank you.

  • One song plays less thah half way through, then skips to next song.

    One song only plays partially before skipping to the next song. I say one song because of the 10,000+ songs on my iPod, only this one song appears to have this problem. It was purchased as part of an album from the iTunes music store. It plays fine on iTunes and appears to be the same size, time and file-wise. I've tried removing it from the iTunes play list and reimporting it, resyncing my iPod following each step. That didn't help.
    Has anybody encountered this or have a solution?
    Thanks.

    Why can't you delete it and redownload it?
    If still problem contact iTunes

    No, something is wrong.
    Login (in iTunes) to your account, in the pref's is a button to "report problem"
    Use it and tell them.
    They'll let you download again.

  • HT201272 Hi I puchased a few songs and for some reason they have been deleted from my computer.  Can you help me

    I purchased  Karma yoga by yoga specialists from the pure yoga moods album,  Om by Wade Irme Morrissette,  Sattvam on Asana 2,  Ganesh Mahatmantra on Sacred morning chants.  
    They have all be errased from my computer.  Is there any way someone can help me retrieve them or re-download them?
    Thank you

    If you are in a country where music can be redownloaded, and you haven't changed countries since buying them and they are still in your country's store (and they aren't hidden), then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage. If they show there but don't have the cloud symbol against them for redownloading then do you still have them listed in the Music part of your library ? If you do then deleting them from Music should then give you the cloud symbol against them in Purchased for redownloading.
    If you can't redownload them then do you have them on your backup of your library/downloads so that you can copy them back onto your library ? Or do you have them on your iOS device - you should be able to copy them back it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (though again, if you have them listed in the Music part of your library then you will need to delete them from there before Transfer Purchases will work).

  • TS1362 A few of my songs only play halfway through then skip to the next.  Is it the download?

    How do I fix this?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the 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.

  • HT201272 I've got songs on my iPad that are not on my iPhone which I want but for some reason they won't go on over Icloud, help!?

    I've got songs on my iPad that are not on my iPhone which I want but for some reason they won't go on over Icloud, help!?

    perfect. ok do the following:
    settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
    Please confirm.

  • I have 2 apple ID's and one I could not access that had $15 and for some reason it made me create a new apple id, I now have $25 on both accounts. how do I take the money and put it on one account?

    You can't merge Apple IDs.  What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc.  When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can 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, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT1725 When I download a song from iTunes into my library, it often says it has downloaded, charges me for it, and on the song in my library shows the full playing time. However, when I play the song, at around halfway through it skips to the next song?

    i'm just wondering:
    a) why it does this
    and b) how to stop it doing this, because it still charges me for the song :/

    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:

  • I downloaded a song and i tried to listen to it but it will only play the first half of the song and then skip to the next song.

    I downloaded several songs successfully to my ipod nano (5) but this particular song when i tried to listen to it would play for the first half and then skip to the next song in the playlist like the ipod thought the song was over.

    Did you download from itunes? If not, some websites save the song too quickly or in a format that glitches.
    I've had this problem before with both itunes and non itunes purchases, try deleting it and re-downloading.

    Either this needs to get fixed or i will request my money back because i will not work for my money while other lie about what i spend it on.

    Try deleting the problematic tune (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.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
