Some of my songs in iTunes seem to have added a few minutes of dead air....

I noticed that a few of my songs in iTunes seem to have added a few minutes of dead air space at the end. For example, I just played a song that should have lasted 4 minutes, and it is showing up under the "time" heading as "12.47." When I played this song, it played out for the 4 minutes, and then continued to play dead air for another 8 minutes. How did this happen and how can I fix it?

  • I can't access some of my songs on iTunes with my Sonos wireless player.

    I can't access some of my songs on iTunes with my Sonos wireless player.  Sonos help says this is due to propriatary rules from iTunes that were eliminated after 2009 and there may be some upgrade possible, but iTunes is singularly unhelpful finding anything related to this issue.

    If an app becomes unresponsive, then the next step would be to close out the app by following the steps in the article below.

  • Some off my songs on iTunes will not play

    Some of my songs in iTunes are in grey and will not play for me

    The message means what it says. iTunes can't find the actual music files. You can confirm that by trying to play the songs in iTunes on the computer.
    - Try:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    - Next reimport them

  • Some of my songs from iTunes are AAC (m4a not protected) and some are AAC (m4p Protected).  Why is this???

    Some of my songs from iTunes are AAC (m4a not protected) and some are AAC (m4p Protected).  Why is this???
    Any insights would be much appreciated.

    Because you purchased some of the songs when they were sold as DRM ( protected ) - pre itunes plus, and you bought some of the songs when they were sold as non-drm - itunes plus.
    You can check quick links in the itunes store to see if you have itunes plus upgrades available for purchases.

  • Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

    Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

    No one hear has any idea why you are having a problem without a lot more information. Have you checked Sync only checked songs? Have you checked "Manually manage music and videos"? Are ANY songs transferrring, or None? Are all of the songs purchased with the same iTunes account? ARE they purchased iTunes songs or from another source? Are you using the same computer all the time (the iPhone can sync music from only one computer at a time)?

  • HT4528 I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal.

    I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal. It seems to continually keep trying to download but cannot. Please help!

    i do understand that.  if you purchased the music on the phone.  its still available to you.  if you go in itunes on your computer.  go to purchases.  there should be all the music you have purchased.  there you can download the song if it isn't already and then sync it to your phone which will add the song to the phone.  have you tried to power off phone and then try to download again.   the itunes way is just another option. 

  • I just bought an album and some of the songs are only playing 3 seconds of a 4 minute song. What do i do?

    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.
    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 the Store > View Account menu option 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 and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) 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.

  • TS4124 i am loosing all my songs on itunes and i have itunes match

    i am loosing all of my songs on itunes and i have itunes match

    Not possible.
    If all music was purchased from the iTunes store, you can manually download each song one by one with your iPhone without having to pay for it again.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You can also enable automatic downloads with your iTunes account on each device for future purchases.
    Settings > Store. Under Automatic Downloads, select Music and Books and Apps if you want on each device. With this selected on each device, after purchasing/downloading a song on one device it will be downloaded on the other device automatically.
