Some of my music is incompleet, some of my music is incompleet

Some of my music is cut short

I had a problem - AAC protected songs I purchased back in 2006-2008 timeframe where being cut short, truncated, when played back.  The file size and duration where not affected.  It occurred when I copied the files to a backup external drive and then tried to copy them back to the local drive. 
Solution: From itunes, I when to the "Show in Windows Explorer" selection, then I right clicked on the file name and selected "rename"  Even thought I could not see the three character extension from that screenm I just added .m4a     be sure to include the dot.  This changed the true file name to be songname.m4a instead of songname.m4p which is what the protected ones were.  Best of luck.

  • Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download

    Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download from other stores. Why do am i forced to try to nread Japanese when I have selected English as my language. The price for Downloads is no different and even if it was I am happy to pay. This also applies to Movie rental which is crazy and extremely restrictive. I a supposed GLOBAL community why does Apple do this.

    You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (As proven by valid billing address of credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
    These are the terms of the itunes store.

  • I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account.  I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

    Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

  • I reinstalled my computer's operating system.  How do I transfer music from my Ipod to my music library?  It transfered some, but not all my music.  I authorized the computer, but it did not help.

    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    The ipod is not a backup device.
    You need to copy everything back using your backup copy.

    Dear Nay2000,
    I have the same problem, my girl-friend saved a bigger Gigabyte library from her old laptop before she sold it, then at some point she realized that she couldn't play many songs that she had transfered. Now, I paid those 30 quid as well, and it doesn't play 99% of the files, that is very frustrating, is there any way you got it revived?
    Regards.

  • The music skip in some songs

    I dont know why but some songs have errors because when are playing, the music blinks or skip a sec just like a data error, not all the music but much more that I can accept.
    What are the options?
    I think is because I backup the data almost a month and just copy the iTunes folder every time.. is there any way to just back up the new songs donwloaded? I dont do that because I dont want that if I made a change by iTunes, lose it if goes direct to folder..
    PLease help..
    On other question, exist any software to check the data and repair it?

    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.

    When I got my iPhone 4S and transferred my music from iTunes, some songs transferred, some didn't, some only partially. Any help? Thanks.

    If you're having trouble syncing your music and you're syncing music automatically (not manually) check the following items:
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything above is correct sync your phone and your music should transfer.

  • Music plays for some more minutes while deactivating android device

    I have  main menu(swf file) with music when I lock android device screen dims but music plays for some more minute and stops. I gave CurrentMovieClip.Stop(), in deavtive event. How could I stop music too while the screen goes please help me on this

    If you've just added the sound to a frame (assuming you're using Flash), you can stop all sounds with SoundMixer.stopAll()
    You would also need to import flash.media.SoundMixer.

    When I sync my ipod some of the songs I have checked in my music library do not apear on my ipod. What is wrong?

    Are the songs checked in iTunes to sync to the iPod?
    Is the iPod signed into the same account that purchased the songs?
    Have you sucessfully synced music from that iTunes library before?

  • HT201272 Lost iPod, lost music. On my old computer I had almost 16 gigs of music on iTunes some of which was purchased and most of which was put on there from my CD collection or from CDs borrowed from friends.

    On my old computer I had almost 16 gigs of music in iTunes, some of which was purchased and most of which was put on there from my CD collection and from CDs borrowed from friends. When I got a new computer, only about half of that music, including all music purchased, wound up in iTunes. I didn't worry about this as all 16 gigs were still on my iPod. Then I lost my iPod and about 8 gigs of music.Because it was there in iTunes on my old computer, I assume it still exists somewhere. I would like to retrieve it somehow. Can anyone help me do that?

    Unless you had subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded that music to it then no, it won't be stored anywhere. You haven't got it on a backup e.g. an external drive ?

  • Why are some of my songs ghosted and some are not?

    Why are some of my songs ghosted and some are not?

    Hi smiilee,
    Have you tried resetting your phone (hold down the Home and Power buttons a the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears). Once the Home screen comes back up, see if your Music is OK.
    If it is not, then, have you sync'd your phone to an iTunes library on a computer? If so, then hook it up to the computer, uncheck the "Sync Music" option so that no music is sync'd and then sync the phone. This should delete everything on the phone. Then go back and re-check the "Sync Music" option, and select any other criteria you want on that screen, and then sync again. This should put back all of your music.
    Let me know if you have any questions,

  • I guess the problem come from me or I really need those contacts before he calls me for it. I'll try some method that I got from some responders on your support website. Do you have or can you recommand any software that can solve this problem?

    One more thing. I just update my iphone that my boss gave to me but it seems to be like it giving me some trouble. My iphone was updated not too long and was successful. I try to lock into it and it telling me emergency call. I plug it to my itune and it telling me that the sim card is not valid or supported. So I inserted my sim card that I usually use to call and it still saying the same. Please help me get into it.

    And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
    If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
    If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time.  That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
    If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue.  In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies.  But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
    This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website.  Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles.  In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you.  It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to.  You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
    It's like Starbucks.  You know how to make coffee.  Everyone knows how to make coffee.  And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less.  But you want the convenience.  So you're really paying a convenience fee.  Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.

    I recently installed an upgrade to my Ipod Classic.  I then installed some new Cd's.  Now some of these songs skip.  How can I fix this?

    If you cannot remember the passcode for the Screen Lock, you will need to Restore the device...
