Some songs will not p

I just uploaded my Zen Nano with some new songs but the player skips more or less every other song.
I can see them and play them in the organizer when i?m hooked up to my computer.
But they will not show up when i?m disconnected.
Why?

What format are they in then? WMA, MP3, WAV etc. Also what bit-rate?
If he ripped them from his own CDs using WMP then they could be protected as it's the default setting.

  • Upgraded to win7 from xp. Now some songs will not play without signing into an old Itunes id account.

    Installed Windows 7 from XP. Downloaded itunes and imported the music library.
    Now some songs will not play until I authorize this computer by signing  in using an old apple id. Now when I do that the message says too many devices on that id.
    Is there a way to convert those songs to my current Apple id? Or is there a way to download them again under the new id?

    Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
    If you desire the conent on your current Apple ID, purchase it with the current Apple ID.
    For future reference, do not create a new Apple ID simply because of a change of email address.  Instead, update the Apple ID with the new email address.

  • Some songs will not sync to my iPhone 4s, looks like they are loading but they never do.

    Recently I downloaded some new music and now when I try to sync to my iPhone 4S none of the songs i downloaded are syncing to my phone and even some of the songs that were on my phone are not anymore. On iTunes on "On this phone" or whatever the songs are there but it looks like they are loading even after the sync is over. I would really like some help cause this is really annoying... Thanks!

    Same here, I have a new iPhone 5S and it will not allow me to put any music on it unless I have purchased it from iTunes, even music that I own and have ripped from the CD will not upload to the phone. Really Bloody Annoying!
    Should have stayed with Android!

  • Some Songs Will Not Play Even After Being Authorized

    Just this past weekend, I had to reinstall Tiger and then upgrade to Leopard due to a “kernel panic” that would not go away no matter what was tried. As such, iTunes was started from scratch. Unfortunately, I could not locate my iTunes library within the Previous System folder after this reinstall. In all honesty, I probably just didn’t know where to look.
    So, I transferred my music from my iPod to my iMac. But, some of my songs will no longer play. The songs that will not play are songs that I purchased and downloaded from iTunes. However, the recent songs purchased and downloaded will play…it’s songs that were purchased and downloaded a few months ago. Strange.
    When I click these songs a box pops up for me to authorize it. I do so and it says that this computer is already authorized. I click on the song again and the same thing repeats itself.
    I have two accounts that I have used. I have both accounts authorized on this computer. I have restarted with no success. I have unauthorized and reauthorized with no success. I’m afraid to sync my iPod in case these same characteristics transfer to my iPod.
    I have not updated Leopard to the latest version as of yet since I just reinstalled from the disc orginally sent with my iMac. Any help is greatly appreciated as I’m out of ideas…

    I had the exact same problem today. Two days ago I let Software Update auto-install Security Update 2008-008 (Client Intel) on my machine. I was rewarded with the gray screen and spinning wheel that never went away, and after hours of fruitless attempts to resolve the problem with Disk Utility and Terminal, I was forced to Archive and Restore to 10.4.8 and then rebuild my system back to 10.4.11.
    I thought everything was fine after that until I went to play my iTunes music tonight. Though I'd had no problem playing music ripped from CDs, anything that I'd bought from the iTunes store wouldn't play -- it gave me the exact same error that you reported. I've followed all of Apple's troubleshooting steps -- repairing disk permissions, deleting the SC Info folder, etc., and nothing worked. I spent nearly an hour online with iTunes Chat Support and they say that my account tests fine on their end, so it's not iTunes -- something must have happened to my machine.
    Personally, I think it was Security Update 2008-008. It's been nothing but trouble.
    Now I have to pay $50 for a phone call to Apple Tech Support. Lucky me.

  • Some songs will not go onto ipod

    I just got a 5th Gen 30 GB today to replace a stolen one. I still have my entire library but now some songs when i try to upload them onto the ipod, display the message "Attempting to copy the disk to 'ipod' failed. the disk could not be read from or written to." so I keep having to unplug, and then replug my ipod back in to update about every 30 songs. something has to be wrong. Help please!!

  • My music appears in my purchased on iPhone folder but some songs will not play how do I get them to play?

    My music is not playing, i have purchased onto my iPhone and now it will not play :-(

    Hello Russell,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. The best way to get music back is to check out the articles that goes of downloading previous purchases.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    If they were not purchased through iTunes, then just sync through iTunes again.

  • New hard drive and some songs will not transfer from my list in iTunes

    I recently had a new hard drive installed on my computer. After that I purchased a few new songs and plugged in iPod to sync. Then I received message that 27 songs I had previously purchased and had been on my iPod were "items in iTunes not copied to iPod because not authorized to play on this computer." These songs are no longer visible on iPod but 10 or 15 songs are still there that had been there before. How can I get the missing songs onto my iPod again?

    Go to the "Store" menu in your iTunes main window, and drag down to "authorize computer". This lets iTunes know that you're new computer is okay to have access to all previously purchased music.
    Hope this helps...

  • Whilst using home sharing some songs will not copy across saying computer not authorized

    This only occurs on songs that have been purchased with the second i tunes account.

    authorize iTunes on the homeshared computers for both Apple ID's. one iTunes can be authorized for up to five Apple ID's.

    My situation is improving a little.  When I returned home I found that my imac went to sleep during the match process (I would think that the process would keep the imac awake, but I recommend people with large libraries disable energy saving features while Match is working).  When it completed the process the second time I tried, a LOT of the greyed out tracks returned to my iOS devices.  The only ones missing right now are the ones pending upload to the cloud.  I have a few tracks that I've purchased and are on my iMac HDD that are greyed out, but that list is down to 10-15 out of 12,000... so I can work on those when Match is done.
    I'm surprised that the iOS devices would restrict you from accessing sync'd content while Match is running - i.e. the content is already on the device.  However, it's error handling that must not currently exist in the service. 
    My biggest take away right now is the lack of information Apple provided on this service.  I'm using third-party tutorials online instead of a simple "what is Match and how does it work" document from Apple...  Documentation is still a must, especially for new and potentially complicated services like this.  I.E. tell me that you are going to restrict my access to my own content during this process, and that this process may take 2-3 days (still uploading).

  • I have a new computer and have downloaded some new CD's to my music Library.  When synching the new songs will not download even though there is abundant room on the Ipod and the new songs are checked.  Could this be a Windows 8 issue?

    I have purchased another computer with the Windows 8 OS.  When trying to synch the Ipod to capture some new music I have recently downloaded, the new songs will not show up on my IPod even though I have checked each one to synch.  Any ideas?

    I have a syncing issue involved with putting music on my iphone i am also using windows 8 so who knows?...

  • I got a new ipod and i tried to transfer my songs but some of the songs will not work on it

    I recently bought a new ipod and i tried to transfer my old songs from my old ipod onto it, but some of the songs will not transfer even though i bought them through itunes. do you know how to fix this problem?

    So you are saying that some songs do sync to the iPod from this iTunes library, right?
    What is the source of the non-syncing songs? What is the format? Is it different from the songs that do sync?

  • Some iTunes purchased songs will not play on iPhone.

    Some of my songs that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on my iPhone but will play on my MacBook Pro and iPad - what can I do to fix this.  This problem has been happening for around a week now.  At first it was 1-2 songs but now in a playlist of around 80 songs approximately 1/4 of the songs will not play.  When the song comes up next in the playlist it will not only skip that song but will also skip past 1-2 other songs.

    Hey brewmaster1967,
    Does this happen with any other purchased content? Download some of the free on iTunes store songs.
    Deauthorize the computer and play/authorize the song in iTunes again.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93014
    Try re-creating the iTunes Library.

  • Some new purchased songs will not sync to IPhone.  Any ideas on resolving this?

    Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone.  Any ideas to resolve this issue?

    Similar issue:
    I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
    From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
    I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
    In case it of any use here are the tracks:
    Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
    Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
    Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

  • How do I get all of the music on my computer to transfer to my Iphone?  For some reason, itunes has picked up some songs but not others.  example, I have several CD's loaded in which only 1 or 2 songs from the CD shows up in itunes.

    I have about 70 Cd's loaded on my computer as I had previously owned another MP3 device before I got enamored with the Ipad and Iphone. My problem is itunes will not recognize all of this music.  To give a specific example, I have an old Bon Jovi Cd "crossroads" , itunes only recognizes 2 songs off the Cd.  How can I get itunes to recognize these songs?  They do not show up on itunes anywhere but if i go to my music folder I can locate the songs and it even shows the itunes logo but, the songs will not play with itunes.  I've got a few hours of music i would like to have on my iphone. Can anyone please help me with this?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the computer, then sync.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your computer - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

  • ITunes 10.2.1.1 update & Webroot Firewall - Certain Songs will not Preview

    I downloaded iTunes 10.2.1.1 and some songs would not preview. Examples: The All-American Rejects - Give You **, Kesha - Blow, Beatles Love - Help!, etc... while the song above or below played fine. Song Title would come up on Title Bar but Diamond would not move.
    SOLUTION Apple Tech gave me - I use Webroot Internet Security - checked filters for iTunes, other Apple software and REMOVED the iTunes/Apple related filters from the Webroot Firewall.
    Webroot - go to PC Security, Firewall - Applications - REMOVE Program Files/itunes/itunes.exe
    ALL SONGS NOW PLAY FINE
    Check your Firewall filters as they may be interfering with the Scripts used to play these songs!
    Good Luck!

    iTunes will reappear on the list. Go to far right of box and select Allow Parent - YES
