Songs not playing complete in itunes

I have songs in itunes that are complete but only a short piece of them play? Once transfered to my ipod, the short piece is all that plays as well?
Help

I was having a similar problem in that nothing would happen when I selected some of my songs to play. The file was in the itunes music folder, and all the info was correct but it would not play. Finally, I had to copy the songs which would not play to a DVD, remove the DVD from the drive and restart iTunes. Then when I selected the same songs to play I got the message that the "song was not available, did I want to locate it." I selected "yes", reinsterted the DVD and browsed to the song. After reimporting each of the songs I selected "Consolidate the library" to copy all the songs back into the itunes music folder.
This is definitely a time consuming process but at least now all my songs play. Also, I am backing up my library to a new set of DVD's because I want to be sure to have all of my music backed up.
Hope this helps.

ITunes songs not playing complete album

I have some albums which i have purchased on iTunes using my iPhone which do not have all of the songs for the album when viewed on my mac. E.G. I have one third of the Live Lounge Album. The other songs are there but only play the preview, however when I go to the iTunes Store it states the complete album is purchased and will not let me reinstate it. what do i do?

Hello matthewt82,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that some of the songs in a purchased album are not playing all the way through. To help resolve this issue I'd like you to please delete the songs from your Mac, and then download them again from your previous purchases list.
Mac or PC
Open iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
Click Songs in the navigation bar.
Click the song you want to delete.
Press Delete on your keyboard.

Songs not playing completely

A few of my songs won't play all the way through in iTunes - they get about a minute or so in, then skip to the next song.
I've tried modifying the stop times, but none of that seems to be working. I've tried creating AAC versions, but 'an unknown error occurred (-3)'
Anyone able to help?

I've just updated itunes on Windows, thought they might have solved the problem.... They didn't.
Some songs keep cutting off at the 2.37 mark around there.....
Otherwise all songs are fully playable on VLC and windows media.
What is it? the coding or LAME??
I see this problem has been around for some time without any help from Apple/iTunes to fix and a simple fix at that.....
I shouldn't have to delve into the computer system to find this and alter that.. A simple fix is what needed here.

All my purchased song from iTunes are not playing complete (iPod and computer with Windows Vista), unexpectedly stops and continues with next song. What am I doing wrong?

Purchased album and all songs do not play completely. Please help

I recently purchased an album on Itunes and some of the songs from the album do not play completely. They start and then stop a few minutes in. I called customer service and they said to redownload the album but its not giving me that option.
My Ipod is no longer syncing my music added either. Any suggestions, I would appreciate it!

To redownload you need:
Summary

TS1362 I bought songs that do not play completely.

I recently purchased a couple songs that do not play completely. The songs stop midway through and also, when I try to progress the song through the slide bar on the player it just skip to the next song. Is there a way to fix it?

Delete the current copies and then download again (free) from your purchased history. If the problem persists contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

One song will not play completly

I have one tune in my itunes that will not play completly when put into my i pod.
It plays for 40 seconds and quits but will play fine from i tunes.

Is this song from the iTunes Store?
If so, see this:
iPod does not play purchased content from the iTunes Store
Or, if this is a song that you've imported from a CD, you might want to just re-import the song, then re-load that copy of the song file onto your iPod.

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.

Songs not playing in iTunes 7

Since I downloaded the new iTunes 7, I cannot play any songs in my library, or on disc. I could with the old version. Does anyone know what is different about version 7 which could be creating this problem?

Its working!!! I did everything in the "frequently asked questions" reply re songs not playing - nothing seemed to work until I restarted my computer. Now its fine.

In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack. Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones. Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons? Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds. Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons. It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation. Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings. If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem. If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.

I upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iPad is sluggish and will not play music from iTunes

Need assistance with recent upgrade. I installed 6.1.2 and now my iPad is sluggish and will not play music from iTunes.

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Upgraded to IOS5, now music doesnt work right, displayed song not playing, plays 3,4 songs then stops although is appears to be playing. Help

upgraded to IOS5, now music not working right. displayed song not playing, plays 4,5 songs and stops although it appears that it is playing. Cycled pwr,didn't work. tried resyncing, same thing.Help?

I have an iPhone 4 and ever since I upgraded to iOS5 i've got the same problem. Apple need to release a patch as there's no way of fixing this unless we downgrade our phones back to iOS4 which would just suck!
I often shut the music app down and start again but even then the artwork doesn't match the song playing and will only play a few songs. It's frustrating when you're driving or going for a run, having to pull over or stop and sort it out.
We'll have to wait for Apple to bring out a patch unfortunately.
