Song previews in the iTunes store cut off unexpectedly anywhere from 4-12 seconds. Help?

Recently I noticed that any song I try to preview in the iTunes store will stop playing for no apparent reason, generally from 4-12 seconds in.  No matter how many times I restart iTunes, replay the preview, restart my computer, check my connections with the internet through iTunes, etc, not a single preview for any song that I pick will play fully.  This is pretty frustrating, and a very unexpected situation as I've never had problems with iTunes in the past. I believe it started after I downloaded the most recent update, so I'm hoping it's just a bug with this version.
If anybody knows of any way to fix this, please let me know!

Hi, just check our long discussion... it seems it's been an Apple problem since 5/22 ... Still no solution, though a couple of people managed to make the store work by turning off W7 services ... I'm not about to do that: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3970684?tstart=0

    If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front.  This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card.  This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

  • If a movie once appear in the Itunes store, can it be removed from there?

    If a movie once appear in the Itunes store, can it be removed from there?

    Yes, if Apple or the copyright holder chooses to remove it.

  • Itunes seems to be unable to locate original file to play songs. Songs are in the itunes media file and playable direct from file. Preferences/advance file location is correct. Some files are playing and others aren't with no obvious pattern.

    Itunes is unable to locate original file when attempting to play music. Songs are in the itunes media file and playable direct from there. Preferences/Advanced file location pointer is correct. Some songs play but most don't. I did move files around a bit in an attempt to share music with another account on same computor, however this did not work so have returned file to original location. Please help, I am way outside my feild in this one. Ta.

    I have solved the problem. i think when I moved the media file back out of public to my account, I put it back into the wrong place and ended up with a media file inside a media file, inside another media file!! So I moved it again and fixed!! Now I just need to work out why i can't share with another account user of same computor.

    Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
    Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
    If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

  • TS1717 When I try to play a music video in my music or preview in the itunes store, itunes crashes (I uploaded to the lastest update this morning)

    So when I go into "recently added" and double click on a music video to watch or even when I go to preview a video in the itunes store...Itunes stops working and shuts down.  I just downloaded the most recent update this morning.  This is very frustrating!  And I'm not logging in under a new profile on my pc!  Can we get a patch or something to fix this issue.

    Let's try the following user tip with that one:

  • ITunes  won't play songs.  Nor even the song samples at the iTunes store.

    My sound system is working fine. Commercial CDs play in WMP.
    I downloaded latest version of iTunes along with Quicktime. Download/install: no problem. I tried to get some m4p songs I'd saved on a CD to load back into iTunes, and while 1 or 2 appeared in iTunes, they would not play. I click on the spkr icon next to the song...no response. They would not transfer from the CD to iTunes. I gave up trying. (Same thing happens at the Music Store with its 30 second samples.) Doesn't make any differene what song I select. My computer is working fine; I get on the net with no problem. I do not get any error messages. The Diagnosic check from iTunes shows everything normal re my computer settings and network settings. (I'm using XP).
    I tried a "Repair" install of iTunes...didn't help. I uninstalled iTunes and re-downloaded the setup.exe file, then reinstalled iTunes. Didn't change anything.
    At the moment I've no songs in iTunes--when I call iTunes up, I am taken directly to the Music Store where I have a current, functioning account. IS THAT NORMAL WHEN YOU'VE NOT SET UP A PLAYLIST? And am I correct that itunes uses Quicktime to play iTunes songs?
    I have 3 CDs I made of iTunes songs. One was burned with Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.5. Another was burned with XP itself. A third was burned with iTunes and it will play in my car CD Player and in WMP 11 in my computer. iTunes will NOT play any of the three. If I put a commercial music CD in my computer, iTunes loads all into itself the songs and will play them.
    It's a problem when an uninstall and reinstall of iTunes does nothing. I also just ran a Repair Install of XP last night. Went mostly OK; I got a messsage: "Windows could not load the installer for tape controller." I clicked OK as I don't use any tape device. There was another message: "The CinePlayer Decoders have not yet been activated. You must activate the product before use. Please run the player that included these decoders in order to activate the product". Again I clicked OK. I don't know what those cine player decoders do or what a cine player is. Movies? I checked my movie files--they played fine in WMP. I did not copy the CDs (any of them) to my HDD before trying to get them into iTunes but...would that have mattered?
    What to do? I would like to get my Music Store songs back into iTunes from my CDs. Hope a clean XP install is not necessary.

    go into iTunes Preferences-->iPod
    change Auto Synch to Manually Synch

  • Can't upgrade to Itunes Plus.  I keep getting error message 1004:  An unknown error occured.  There was an error in the itunes Store.  Please try again later.  Can anyone help?

    I can't upgrade to iTunes Plus.  I can download songs normally but when I try to upgrade I continue to get the error message.  Please help.
    Thank you!

    If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • Why can I not find my music that I download from the iTunes Store or that was ripped from a cd in my library

    I have bought several music from iTunes and now I cannot find them in my library.  The same goes for music that I have ripped from my cds.  What gives?!  Why doesn't the music stay in the iTunes library like it does in Windows Media.  There is music that I cannot get again and this is not acceptable.

    Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.  If you try connecting the iPod to a new iTunes library or PC, you won't be able to add any new content to it until you choose the Erase and Sync option that you are prompted with when you plug it in or restore the iPod if that option doesn't appear.
    If you have content on your iPod that needs to be copied back over to your iPod, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to you can recover these contents and moved them back over to your iTunes library.

  • TV keeps cutting out for anywhere from 2 - 20 seconds

    My TV service cuts out arbitrarily (screen goes blank) for anywhere from 2 to 20 seconds. Tends to happen more often and more frequently in the evenings.  It is occurring both on my HD-DVR box as well as my standard STB.  All the boxes are Motorola.  Any ideas.  This started about 6 weeks ago and is getting really annoying. 

    that is usually an HDMI issue, so that is either coming from the TV, the Cable itself or the Box. 
    you can try resetting the box first, and see if it goes away.   
    Menu > Customer Support > in home agent > reboot STB. 
    If that doesn't work, you can try power cycling your TV,  just unplug the TV for a few minutes, and then plug the TV back in,   see if it goes away. re 
    And you can try reseating the cable (oddly this works)   just unplug the cable at both ends, plug em back in.   Or try switching the port on the back of your tv (the set top box only has one HDMI your TV may have several to plug into)  
    And you can try changing the cable itself.     
    If all that doesn't work, then then call into customer service and see if they have any tricks up their sleeves,  they sometimes have special reset commands that are a little stronger than simply resetting the box.   they may have to replace it if all else fails.  
    if you plug in a different cable like Component it will probably go away, and you will preserve the High Definition Picture quality.

  • TS1717 I can only preview songs 10 seconds in the itunes store

    Here we go again. Another annoying iTunes problem that pops up unexpectedly and probably can't be fixed until the next upgrade...
    Song previews in the iTunes store stop after 5-10 seconds.  I know this is a discussed problem but I can't find that thread. Note: The same songs, when purchased and downloaded plays OK from the library. The problem is with all previews. Instead of 1 minute or 90 seconds, I get only 5-10 seconds.
    None of the suggested solutions work:
    1) using the command prompt to flush the dsn cache,
    2) just try to play the preview several times,
    3) start and run itunes in safe mode.
    The problem began a few weeks ago and it persists in one account on one computer. (Win 7 Pro).  It works properly in the same account on my other computer (Win XP Pro).  I'm running the latest Version of iTunes - I checked for updates. (10.X.X).
    Please don't suggest I uninstall and reinstall everything. Anybody can suggest that (and Apple usually does). That is not really a solution, but it's what I have had to do every time I have run into a problem with iTunes.
    Thanks, hope you can help

    Are those songs in the iTunes library on the computer the device is normally synced with?  If so, sync them to the device.
