  • Song skips after 16 seconds to the next one

    I bought a song in Itunes, but when I try to play it on my Imac the song skips after 16 seconds to the next one. I have this problem only on my Imac. The same song works on my iphone and can be played till the end.
    I already checked the song information where you can set stopping points but there's no stopping point for this song set. I also aren't able to download the song again. So how can I fix this proplem?

    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

  • Songs quit after 256 seconds

    After authorizing a new pc, some songs quit afte 256 seconds, even on itunes match.  How to correct??

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it 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 it re-downloads 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 (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) 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 that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Songs skip after few seconds

    Why do some song on my ipod skip after a few seconds?

    For some unknown reason every once and a while a song will not "encode" properly when being converted into digital format (.mp3). This is the cause of the glitches that make the song skip past. This can be fixed by re-encoding the song at a different speed (The standard is 128kbps but can also be done at 160kbps and 192kbps in iTunes).
    Now to re-encoding the glitched songs:
    First off check the original encoding speed. This can be done by selecting the glitched song, right clicking and choosing the "Get Info" option and the bit-rate (encoding speed) will be in the summary tab. After you check the current encoding speed the settings for importing music into iTunes may need to be changed. You can change these by going into the "Edit > Preferences ~ Advanced tab > Importing tab" once here simply change the box labeled "Import Using" from "AAC Encoder" to "MP3 Encoder". Now all that needs to be done is to change the bit-rate. Choose one of the bit-rates from the "Setting" box that is different from the current bit-rate of the skipping song. Once the setting is chosen click "Ok" and then go to the "Advanced" menu and there should be an option to "Convert Selection to MP3". Now it is as simple as selecting the affected song and then going into the advanced menu and choosing the "Convert Selection to MP3" option to fix your glitched tunes! Every song that is converted using this will be encoded with the bit-rate chosen in the earlier stages.
    Hopefully this helps, good luck re-encoding =)

  • Songs mute after 58 seconds

    Hi everybody,
    I'm currently experiencing problems with new songs I match with iTunes Match.
    My situation:
    - Bought album on Amazon, used the Auto-Rip feature to get the mp3 files.
    - Imported the album to iTunes (11.4) on Mavericks (10.9.4)
    - Updated iTunes Match so the album appears both on my iPhone (5S, 7.1.2) and iPad (4thGen, 7.1.2)
    My problem:
    - Streaming the songs on both iPad or iPhone: All songs of the album start fine but after exactly 58 seconds there is only silence
    - Same thing happens if I download the songs first tapping the cloud icon on iPhone/iPad
    - BUT if I delete the album/songs in iTunes and download them again out of the cloud, everything plays fine throughout the whole songs on my Mac.
    If look at finder I see that after deleting and downloading the files in iTunes again, the file extension changes from mp3 to m4a so I assume this is a matched album.
    Anyone else experiencing this problem? I already did a complete reset of my iPhone (without restoring from a backup) --> no change. Even iOS8 doesn't resolve the issue :(
    ***EDIT***
    Just transferred one of the songs directly from the file system of the iPhone using "iExplorer". This file also plays fine on my Mac. So this is definitely a bug within the iPhone/iPad music app and not caused by a corrupt file.

  • After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, Some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds of play...

    After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds even though the iPod appears to be playing the current song. Some of my songs are mp3 files that have been playing fine for years...
    Anybody else experiencing this issue?
    I'm using the latest version of iTunes and i don't have that problem on my PC. The only difference as far as i can tell is the updated iOS & firmware...
    AJ

    Yes, other have. If the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My Apple TV keeps saying "iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later" after 23 seconds of playing  a song through iTunes match!!! How do I fix it?

    I keep trying to play music through iTunes match and it playing a song for about 23 seconds then puts this error message up on the screen "iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later". I need help on how to fix it!?!?

    Please call Apple care if you have it for your Apple tv
    I have been calling them everyday and they are great they also think its itunes and after this last call I had they itune store support said it might be my network which is BS, I have 2 xbox consoles that have every video app installed hulu, netflix, vudu and zune and not one of them are having issues and my apple tv netflix plays perfect along with streaming from my library. I tested my network and also have the lightening speed service from my isp.
    they want me now to go to the apple store and visit the genuis bar and have them test it on their tv's, and I am unable to do that for almost a week and honestly its not my network it is them, I even opened a new Apple tv I got for the family room and tested that out and same thing every 9 min (8min 59sec) it cuts out and I have to resume it till the next 9 min.
    If everyone calls them and they get flooded with complaints they will see its not one persons network but something with itunes servers

    Delete the problem song(s) from library including file(s). Then go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Select Music tab to re-download again for free.

  • When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, it begins to play but stops after 5 seconds

    When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, its begins to play but stops after 5 seconds instead of the normal 30 seconds.

    I posted this to another thread here:
    "I am having the same issue with the preview songs cutting off around the 5 to 7 second mark. It started about 3 weeks ago right after I downloaded an album.
    It downloaded but at the end said the download failed due to a network timeout error. I clicked out of the error dialogue box and checked my "Purchased" items folder and it did seem there was a problem, no songs were there only a placeholder of the album cover (or something of that nature). Nothing happened when I clicked on it. However, when I closed and then restarted itunes the entire album was there and there have been no problems with those songs.
    Some here are saying they believe they previews cutting off have something to do with the 10.6 upgrade, however I still have 10.5.1.42 and have the problem.
    I am running up-to-date Windows 7 Professional with Viper Anti-virus. I don't for a moment think it has anything to do with windows updates, anti-virus or any other 'windows' issues. I believe it is within itunes in its' preview player software.
    Dear iTunes, if this thread is being monitored by a rep, please be aware that if I cannot preview more than 5-7 seconds of a song you can rest assured I will not be purchasing any further music through itunes until this issue is resolved and will be taking my business elsewhere in the interim."
    I use the ipconfig/flushdns all the time to resolve browser issues, especially when using Twitter. It does not help this particular problem for me.

  • I bought a song on itunes but it cuts out after 14 seconds on my laptop but on my ipod it plays in full, how can I rectify the tune on my pc, thankyou

    I bought a song on itunes but it cuts out after 14 seconds on my laptop but on my ipod it plays in full, how can I rectify the tune on my pc so that I can play it in the house and put it on a cd for the car. I went into the itunes store to play the tune and it cuts out there too. thankyou

    Hello there, La Clairiere Feerique.
    I understand you are having issues with playback of a purchased song. If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, it might be best to delete the song from your computer, then re-download from your purchase history.
    To delete a song the following Knowledge Base article offers how to delete from your iOS device:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    Music
    Open the section below for the device you are using.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Mac or PC
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
    Click Songs in the navigation bar.
    Click the song you want to delete.
    Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
    Afterwards, re-download the purchases from your purchase history:

  • TS1717 When I am trying to preview a song in iTunes store, the song quits after about 10 seconds. Is this an iTunes problem, or how do I fix it from stopping?

    When I am trying to preview a song in iTunes store, the song quits after about 10 seconds. Is this an iTunes problen, or how do I fix it from stopping?

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

  • HT1923 preview song stops after a few seconds

    the preview song stops after a few seconds, any ideas on how to correct?

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?
    (Doesn't work for everyone, but does no harm to check.)
