Some purchased songs skipping

some of my purchased songs sort of skip or play slow when i play them on itunes but they work fine on my i pod. My non purchased songs all play fine just some of my purchased songs. Completely uninstalling i tunes did not work. Deleting one of the song from my i tunes library and letting my i pod put it back into itunes did not work. I have a song that i have purchased from i tunes and the same song also came off of a CD that i have and the song from the CD works fine just the itunes purchased one "skips". This all seemed to happen when i downloaded the newest version of i tunes. How can i fixed this or am i just out of luck with these purchased songs?

for songs in itunes.. i googled this problem.. and it seems to have worked. what almighty google told me was to change the settings of the quicktime player. so in the control panel (classic view) there is a quicktime icon. open this and click the advanced tab. change the mode to safe mode and click apply. my itunes then processed each song i have (over 5000) which took quite some time but it seems to have worked..
now my problem is trying to sort out the movies which skip.. although the sound got better once i had done the above, the picture still jumps. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
hope this helps everyone

    Hello there, Gemss.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
         Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Select Purchased Songs Skip on iPod

    Three of my recently purchased songs skip on my iPod, but not my iTunes. I've reset the iPod and restored it enough that Apple Support tells me it's an iTunes problem. My iPod plays all other purchased music, but only on these three songs will it skip. It skips at the same point each time, but the points vary between song. If I "fast-forward" past the skip-point, it will play a bit more of the song (maybe a couple of minutes), and skip again. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? Thanks very much, it's gotten really irritating, and I've run out of viable solutions.

    Hi Charlotte,
    I've had this symptom before on my iPod, and have solved it by taking rather drastic action. Please pay close attention to the advice I will give now and proceed only if you understand the implications.
    I firmly believe that many iPods suffer from disk fragmentation and errors which cause this problem. Syncing iPods with continually changing content in one's iTunes library is not a good thing in the interest of keeping an iPod healthy, even though it's extremely handy. Also, even though the process of restoring an iPod is usually considered a last-resort option, it actually does nothing to check for or correct possible disk problems on an iPod, whereas the procedure I describe below does.
    The first thing to do is to take a careful inventory of what's on your iPod and what's on your computer. As long as you're certain that you won't lose any irreplaceable data by temporarily deleting the contents of your iPod, you should be safely able to follow these steps and restore your iPod, hopefully solving the playback problem in the process.
    1. Connect your iPod to your computer.
    2. Quit iTunes if it was open or opens automatically at this point.
    3. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility).
    4. Select your iPod from the sidebar in the Disk Utility window, taking care to select the device itself rather than just the logical volume appearing below it.
    5. Click the Erase tab.
    6. Enter a name for your iPod in the Name field.
    7. From the Volume Format drop-down list, select Mac OS Extended.
    8. Uncheck the Install Mac OS 9 Drivers option.
    9. Click the Security Options button.
    10. Check the Zero Out Data radio button.
    11. Click the Erase button.
    12. Give your consent to the ensuing deletion of the contents of the volume/disk when prompted.
    13. When Disk Utility is finished erasing your iPod, quit Disk Utility. Your iPod should now appear as a generic-looking white removable disk icon on your Desktop.
    14. Launch iTunes.
    15. Follow the prompts to set up your iPod for use with iTunes on your computer, name it (even though you already gave it a name in Disk Utility), and sync it with your iTunes library after setting the various iPod preferences to your liking.
    Please note that I have performed the preceeding actions with my own 5G 30 GB iPod Video more than once with only positive effects, so I am not merely pulling wild suggestions out of my hat. I would really like to hear back from you after you've tried this, if you decide to go for it, to see if it solves your problem. I am thinking of refining these instructions and submitting them as a user tip here in Apple Discussions.
    Good luck.

  • Upgraded to 10.6.1.17 and now purchased songs skip

    So I upgraded a couple days ago and have noticed that certain songs skip before the song is finished, anywhere from 60-20 seconds before the end of the song.  The only songs I've noticed this on are purchased from the iTunes Store.
    Crossafde is off and when I look at the songs the start and stop times are unchecked, but show the correct times?  Seems to have been an ongoing issue for lots of users over the years, but I can't seem to find a solid answer?
    Or how can I go through and force iTunes to re-download my purchased songs?  It seems to think that as long as I have them I'd never need to download/replace them?
    Thanks!

    Clay & David,
    I had the same issue. Spent hours downloading, reinstalling and restarting. No luck. Found Ian.Gilmore's solution posted in Feb 2009 (Ian you are a saint). You use the Epson user interface to configure your network. Verbatim instructions are below. Press the "Home" button on the Workforce 600 interface panel. "Search SSID" brought up the name of my network and I used it rather than "WPA-PSK (TKIP)"
    Here is Ian's solution:
    "I was having the same issue. The Epson Software couldn't find the printer when it was connected via ethernet to my computer. I instead went through the actual printer UI and chose: Setup > Network Settings > Wireless LAN Setup > Manual Wireless LAN Setup > Infrastructure Mode > Search SSID > WPA-PSK (TKIP)
    Once the printer connects to the network you can simply add it via Print & Fax."

  • Purchased Songs Skip because of 6.0.4

    The 6.0.4 update is obviously messing with people's ability to listen to their purchased songs, in my case on both my Ipod Mini. Resetting doesn't seem to work for anyone beyond two days. This isn't because of bad sectors or funny harddrives. There is something in the latest update that is causing this problem. This fix is not a fix, it's a problem and you need to start with what 6.0.4 is doing differently. The Ipod is showing the songs are there, but it is simply skipping over them when you go to play them. Everyone here who has posted regarding this problem is indicating the same source: the latest update.

    "There is something in the latest update that is causing this problem."
    If that were true then it would be affecting every single user who purchases music from iTunes. It doesn't affect me, nor any members of my family and friends who use Windows.
    Try this:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

  • Certain purchased songs skip when playing

    I have been purchasing albums and singles lately, and some of them play for around 40s and then skip to the next song? Is there any way of fixing this?

    Nope. I recreated the library, resynched my iPod. The songs still skip. I'm beginning to think it has to do with the fact that I synch my iPod to a specific playlist and not my music library. I may try restoring my iPod and individually copying the songs from the library to my shuffle. Either that, or just get rid of the songs off my iPod that skip..since all they do is aggravate me!
    Thanks for trying.

  • ITunes library mysteriously dissapeared (not the actual files where they are stored) and once I transfered songs back to iTunes, some purchased songs had been corrupted (missing tags

    Last week, I purchased around 9-10 songs. The previous day, I had played songs from my iTunes library... everything working normal. The day after purchasing those 9-10 songs... I noticed that my entire songs in my library (and playlist) where gone, essentially being re-set like new. I updated my iTunes version, re-started my PC and still... nothing was showing up except those 9-10 songs. I did the next logical thing which was to check the actual music folder that stores the songs. They where all there. It did not make any sense as I had not done or noticed anything unsual while using iTunes before. Now, I want to mention that I use a DJ software (mixvibe) with the ION Discovery DJ that pulls tracks from iTunes. For the past couple of months they both have worked great. Fast forwarding to my issue, I went ahead and copied all the music back to iTunes. I spent a good hour making sure that everything worked and re-created my playlists. One thing that struck me as odd was that while checking everything... some songs that I had purchased recently and even a couple of months ago that I've used on my mixvibe software... had the track info deleted. The only information was the track name, ex. (01 - Bird One). For some reason, they were dumped into a "Unknown Artists" file. There was a good 20-25 songs that had this issue. The one thing that I noticed was that when I would highlight the song within the Uknown Artist folder... All of the information including cover art was showing up at the bottom of the folder (if you are familiar with Windows 7 you know what I'm talking about). How can it be that all of the actual information was still there yet not showing up in iTunes? I had to manually go one by one of those 20-25 songs and add all of the track info (as much as I could). I was also able to recover some of the cover art but not all. It seems like the files got corrupted. Can I re-download these tracks again or how can I get them to how they were originally? HELP!

    I find the best way to do this is to right click on the song in iTunes and convert then select convert ID3 tags to V1.1 this usually completes the tag and adds all the missing info, provided it is in iTunes corectly.
    Were these songs you Dled or ripped form a cd directly?

  • Same Apple ID, but some purchased songs not shown in history.

    I've had the same Apple ID since I bought my first song on iTunes in the early 2000s.  However, I've changed the email address associated with it several times.  My iTunes library contains songs that show one of my past emails, but I only have to authroize the computer with my -one- Apple ID (as expected, since the underlying ID has never changed).  This is the same when authroizing songs to play on my iPhone.  It may ask for one of my old addresses, but I'll just correct the address to the current one and it works perfectly.
    I thought about redownloading songs so that they have the current email address associated with them.  However, after a cursory review of my past purchase history I'm finding many songs that I currently own that do not show up.  What is interesting is that the purchase history includes many songs, movies, and tv shows that I know I purchased when I used one of the many different email addresses (again, the same Apple ID).
    Why would some (maybe TONS, I haven't looked thoroughly) of my songs be missing from the purchase history in order to redownload them?

    You haven't changed countries since buying them (content is tied to the country as well as the account), they are still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove their items ; if they are no longer in your store then they won't be redownloadable), and they aren't hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?
    But if it's the same account then it should automatically pick up the current version of the account in your library, so a previous email address shouldn't show on them. You've tried logging out of your account via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then signed back in to see that gets them all to show the correct id on them ?

  • Some matched, some purchased songs

    As I'm very near my 25000 song limit, I thought I'd splash the extra 50p to buy an album from iTunes rather than Amazon. That way it would appear on my iOS devices via iTunes Match. However, the download failed, some songs were not authorised to play on this computer, some songs appeared as Purchased, some as Matched. I deleted the unauthorised ones and found a link in the Store to redownload these, but they appeared as Matched. I spent nearly an hour faffing with this last night, when all I wanted to do was snooze to my new album!
    Now I'd just bought hese songs from Apple, so how can they be only Matched? How do I convert them to be actually Purchased please?
    Latest iTunes, Lion on iMac.

    You don't say anything about the source or nature of the album files you are using. I believe the song tags have to Match identically.  I believe they also use an audio fingerprint to see if the sound characteristics match. 

  • Unable to play some purchased songs on iphone4

    Some of my music purchased either via itunes or iphone, will not play on iphone. also, when you select a song to play it will jump and play another song. i have tried synching, but still not working. can play all songs on computer via itunes. has anybody else had this issue? many thanks in advance for any assistance.

    I have the same problem.  I upgraded to a 4S and did a restore from iCoud. Everything loaded but many songs will not play and others jump to another song.  I made sure my new phone was authorized (click on Store with the iPhone selected in the left column of iTunes and then click on Authorize this computer)  I also reset the iPhone by holding the Home and Power buttons simultaneously. No improvement.
    This seems to be a problem relatd to the chip set in the specific phone.  My iPhone 4 had no problem with the same list of songs.
    Heading back to the store.
