Song wont play whole way through

i kno this belongs in the store section but no body would answer it there... so here it is...
uh... kay, so heres what happens, this song i got off of itunes plays on the computer but makes a sound as if it skipped (like on a cd) and it always makes the sound in the same place during the song. then on my ipod it just stops and goes to the next song on the list when it gets to that spot on the song... so i go to re-download it like i have done b4 when there was a problem with a song... BUT IT WASNT THERE!!!!! so are there any other suggestions on how to get this stupid song to work right?

I am sorry to hear. Yes it's very disappointing and the fact that you can't at least re-download your purchase makes it that much more irritating haha well thank you and good luck!

Songs only play half way through and move on to next one

I have been using iTunes (10.5) on my Macbook Pro, OS 10.6.8 with no problems until this morning. When I turned on iTunes, I got a message stating that this computer was not authorized to play the song I chose. I received the same error message for all the other songs. And these were all songs that I had uploaded from my own CD collection a long time ago. So, I authorized the computer as requested by iTunes, although I thought I had done that before. Now none of the songs finish playing. The songs quit about half way through and then the next song starts. It is *extremely* annoying. Should I reinstall one of the older iTunes versions? Anyone else have this problem? I found old posts from 5-6 yeas ago but no solutions.

Why do songs stop playing half way through?

My husband downloaded a new playlist to his iphone, but many of the songs end half way through and then go on to the next song. How can we fix this?

Hi ktrib76,
In my experience, the songs that are skipping may not have transferred over to your husband's iPhone correctly. I would advise you to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to the iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from the iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

Songs begin playing half way through

whenever i select a song to play it starts somewhere in the middle instead of at the beginning, how can this be fixed?

Hi, you probably have the song set to "Remember Playback Position" option
To fix, go into itunes, select the song(s) you are having trouble with, then under "File" menu, choose "get info" a window will pop up with various options. Go to OPTIONS tab and uncheck the box next to "remember playback position"
Hope that helps!

Purchased songs only playing half way through

I purchased 2 albums today and a few songs on each only play half through then skip to the next. I deleted and redownloaded, still having the same problem.

I deleted and redownloaded, still having the same problem.
Try deleting and redownloading just the problematic tracks (rather than the entire album(s)). Any better luck with that?

I bought an album but 3 of the songs stop playing half way through, it's just silence. Can I get a refund and if so, how?

Recently, I bought the Adam Barnes album and I put it on my iPod. When I started listening to it and it was great. But when it got to track 4, it played the first minute and then it was just silence for the rest of the 3 and a half minutes song. It did this again for tracks 5 and 6 too, but the other tracks are fine. I checked my iTunes and it doesn't work on there too. Has this happened to anyone else? Can I get a refund? If so, how can I get one?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

HT204406 song stops playing part way through

I downloaded a song and it appears to be complete, but about 15 seconds into playing, the song quits. I tried playing the song on both my ipod and computer. Same results both devices.

Hi jhelene,
It sounds to me like you have downloaded a song from iTunes but when you try to listen to that song it just stops playing. I suggest you delete that song from iTunes and re-download it fresh. The following article explains the issue it sounds like you are experiencing.

Are these songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes? If there are iTunes purchases, delete them from your main iTunes library and redownload them again at no cost via iCloud.

Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.
Cheers,
Patrick

TS1424 songs cut off mid-way through??

i downloaded an album and some of the songs stop playing mid-way through while others are fine. has anyone seen this before and is there a fix for it?

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.

A number of songs I downloaded from the iTunes store are not playing the whole way through.

Some of the songs are only playing for a couple of seconds, them others I have purhased around the same time are playing the whole way through. Is there any way to fix this?

Hey maddielou2,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines a resolution to your issue:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
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:
- Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
- Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
- Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks 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 close and 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.

Could be a defective SIM. Try a new one from your carrier.
