Song I downloaded won't play completely.

I just downloaded the new XX album, Coexist, and the song "Fiction" is only partially downloaded. It plays a couple of seconds then skips to the next track.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

How did you do this move? Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:

That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

TS3297 I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my ipod

I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my touch. There were no error messages, and I see them fine on my touch. They get to a certain point in the song and jump to the next song.

Do they play ok on your computer's iTunes ? If they do then try deleting them from your iPod and then re-sync them back to it.
If they also don't play on your computer's iTunes, then 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 : re-downloading.
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 Store > View My Account 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.

I have little exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play how do I get them to play?, I have little exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play how do I get them to play?

I have exclamation points next to some of my songs and they won't play...how do I get them to play?

I am not an expert but here's my two cents:
The exclamation point means itunes cannot find the music file in order to play it. There are several possible reasons for this, including but not limited to changing the name or location of your music library/songs, or storing them on an external hard drive or device that is not currently attached. The solutions for these are different so let me know if any of these apply and we can troubleshoot.

HT1725 I downloaded two albums yesterday and only half of each of the songs have downloaded when I play them. There is nothing to say it is waiting for the rest to download and I have checked for available downloads...help please!

no, i had to leave so i logged out and when i opened itunes on my mac and went into the downloads tab it only had one paused download listed. i resumed the download for the one movie listed and the other one never showed up. its been about two weeks since i initially bought the two movies so i figured something was wrong.

Recent TV show downloads won't play on apple TV, why? iTunes has no place to enter passcode that apple TV requires to authorize.

Recent TV show downloads won't play on apple TV, why? Old TV shows will play on the apple TV. iTunes has no place to enter passcode that apple TV requires to authorize. ??? What should I do?

Is this a 1st generation silver coloured Apple TV or the 2nd generation black coloured Apple TV?

Nano scrolling through songs constantly. Won't play?

There was some kind of power surge yesterday while my nano was connected to the computer that shut off the electricity. I don't know if this caused this problem but now the nano is scrolling through all the songs constantly but won't play any of them. It also does not seem to do anything when I connect it to the computer. Doesn't update or charge. Help!!

Try reseting it and restoring first. But if that
doesn't work the power surge probly messed it up
pretty well so you should contact apple for some
repairs.
I've already tried resetting it twice and I am in the middle of restoring it but I'm afraid you might be right. Once I restore the nano and reconnect it to the computer, will the songs automatically re-update? It won't erase my library will it. I restored it on once computer and will plug it back into another.

Upgrade to iOS7.1 has broken Music. . .can't play songs in the cloud and songs that have been downloaded won't play either.

I've discovered an interesting "feature" of iOS7.1 for the iPad (4th gen).
Since upgrading, I can no longer play music that is in the cloud and when trying to switch to a song that has been downloaded to the device, it won't play either; however, the equilizer graphic indicates that something is playing (bouncing up and down) but the song position indicator stays at 0:00.
Eventually, iTunes/Music (not sure what to call it these days since Apple can't seem to decide either) gives up on the song selected, the on that is not playing, and moves to the next song. If the next song is local to the device, music plays, if it's another song in the cloud, the pattern repeats until it hits a downloaded song. Have also discovered, after my various and simple testing efforts, that I can no longer download songs from the cloud - I was able to download one song but afer that. . .kaput.
It takes a special level of brilliance to send out an update that breaks your own applications/code. . .particularly one so core to the device.
Two words for future releases. . ."Quality Assurance".

I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

TS1362 I have tried all of the above "fixes" and the cd that I just downloaded won't play properly. It says that the song is 3:33 long but only 1:40 of it plays before skipping to the next track

How do I fix a cd that did not download correctly. I have tried all of the above fixes, but the songs either stop halfway through, or won't play at all.

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:
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.

Downloaded Songs From iTunes Won't Play

I downloaded three songs from iTunes. The songs were downloading, and stalled during processing. I restarted iTunes canceling the downloads. When I went back to re-download, it told me that the songs had already been purchased. I checked for the purchases, and they showed up on the document. However, they still did not show up in my download list. So, I redownloaded them. They downloaded fully, but now they will not play. All my other songs play fine, including songs downloaded during the same period. Why aren't these songs playing?

Hi there jayc401,
You may want to try deleting those tracks from the device and downloading them again from the iTunes Store. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Songs from Concert won't play in order

I purchased and downloaded a live concert. I can't get the ipod to play the songs in the order they should be played. They are fine in my main folder. But the ipod won't play them correctly. The concert was long enough to cover 3 cds. I created a playlist with just the first set songs and a second with the 2nd set songs and encores. They appear in the correct order in the playlist, but they won't play correctly when I select the playlist.

Is there anything systematic in the order in which the songs do play? For example, is it ignoring the fact that you may have two albums with the same name and similar track numbering and the only thing distinguishing them are the CD number?

Purchased song but player won't play it

Hello everyone,
i purchased a song on the i-tunes store. My problem now, my player wont play it, i also transferred it onto my i phone- same problem....????HELP please!

Hey eve_s,
That definitely sounds frustrating. If the song is not playing fully in iTunes, it may need to be redownloaded. See the following article:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country
Thanks,
Matt M.
