Song only plays halfway and stops
I have one particular song on my ipod touch that will only play less than halfway and then it will keep stopping in the same place and going to the next song. I know the whole song is on the ipod and if I fast forward through that part of the song, I can listen to the rest. This song works just fine on my itunes. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried resetting it. Thanks!
Whell, it seems there is an error in your song that makes your iPod think the song is over. I`ve had such problems, and the only way to solve this is by downloading the song again, or re-record it. I do this with the KMPlayer, which is a free software, you just have to click capture, and audio.

My rented Video only plays halfway and stops
I rented a video, once it had completed downloading I tried watching it, it plays through half of the movie and stops. Any idea why?

I bought an album off of iTunes and all the songs only play halfway, what should I do?
What should I do? Because I payed good money for it and now all the songs on the album only play halfway. And when I try to drag the little dot to a specific part of the song it immediately changes.
This happened to me last week- my solution- I went back to the store and 'repurchased' the songs- iTunes alerted me that I had already purchased the songs and asked if I wanted to redownload the song at no charge. I said yes and once the new download was complete- I deleted the songs that only played halfway so I wouldn't have a duplicate that didn't work.

Old itunes songs only playing halfway on new computer
I used to own a 2006 macbook and now have a new windows HP laptop. When I tried to transer my itunes library to the new windows computer, all of the songs DID transfer over to the new computer from the mac, however, the songs that were purchased in 2006 under a previously used itunes account (no longer being used because of unused email address, etc. etc.) will only play halfway thorough. So I will be listening to my music and then at around, say, the 2 minute mark there is silence.....the song freezes and itunes just sits there. It wont move to the next song...it just does nothing. It's like I paused the song, but it is still technically playing. It does this on my computer as well as when I play the songs on my iphone. Does anyone have any idea about this? All of the songs that this happens to are "protected AAC audio files." No clue what that means, no clue why this is happening. Im not too computer savy (and the new itunes version isnt helping either) so I am lost on this one...and mad because I paid for these songs but now I can't listen to them!
You're supposed to transfer them from the old computer to the new one instead of redownloading them from the iTunes Store. Except for applications, Apple pays a royalty for each download and therefore usually doesn't allow free redownloads.

Some songs only playing halfway
Some songs which I recorded from cds and downloaded at 256 from iTunes Match are not playing all the way through.
I've tried deleting and redowning but the problem is still the same.
I have checked the Get Info / Options - stop times and they are Ok.
In most cases I still have the original CDs but I'd like to know if there is a cure or whether I have done something wrong.Does the song play in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...

How do I fix this?
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the 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. -

My purchases are only playing halfway through the songs then they jump to the next song even though the download has been completed "successfully" Does this mean I have to repurchase and download again?
Delete and redownload.
You do not pay for redownloads. Follow the direction:

So I downloaded the Ellie Goulding album and the first few songs only play up to 15 seconds of the song and then skip to the next one. It wont let me drag the scroller to a further point in the song because when I do it doesnt play and goes to the next one. But it isn't on the other songs. just the first 3 or 4. what do I do?I could rebuu the songs that would be a waste. I have a PC so i am having a hard time calling for support because I dont know the serial number.

I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play. I thought iTunes allowed me to transfer music to my iPhone and play it. What am I doing wrong?
Hi skoorb1,
When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

can I delete an album from my computer and re-download from my purchases? I bought an album and some of the songs only play partof the way through and some won't play at all. One of them says this computer is not authorized to play this trac.
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks only from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
