TS1424 purchased album won't play after buying on iphone. How to fix?

I purchased an album from iTunes on my iPhone and when I go to play the album, it won't play and songs are skipped over until the album's complete. How do i fix? Should I get a refund and repurchase? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'd try redownloading it from the purchased section of the iTunes store first and see if that helps.

Movies won't play after update to iPhone 2.1 Software

Help. I updated my 16GB iPod Touch with the iPhone 2.1 software to support applications. But now, when I go back and try to play my mp4 and m4v movie files on my iPod touch, they won't play. When I try to play them I get a warning that says "this movie could not be played". Videos I purchased from iTunes continue to play just fine.
Is this a new anti-piracy thing or something like that or am I having a problem with the iPhone 2.1 software? If I knew I wouldn't be able to watch my old movies and TV shows, I wouldn't have upgraded to 2.1.
Thanks for your help.

Just a quick update on my issue... which seems different than most. To summarize, I tried updating from iTunes 10.6 directedly via USB. Got an empty progress bar when it "rebooted" after "successfully updating" to 5.1 with a memory allocation bar on itunes showing most the memory as allocated to "other", instead of the usual memory allocation to apps, music, pcits, etc. Rebooted the phone, but still came up with an empty progress bar, but would connect to itunes.. showing booted as 5.1, but again the memory was still allocated to "other". Started recovery process on itunes to try to bring back my old config, after which the iphone fully booted (into 5.1), but was completely.... recovered and re-installed all my apps, music, etc without a hitch and rebooted successfully, this time the memory allocation was correctly labeled, but somewhere I gained 2.0 GB of memory, even with all the same apps and music installed. I had to do some minor additional configurations (password lock had to be re-enabled), but otherwise, everything was working. A bunch of apps lost their stored settings... which I though strange as I expected the "backups" to store those settings as well. Otherwise, running 5.1 now without issues... seems much snappier than 5.0.1... but the process was nerve racking to say the least.
Best of luck with other "explorers" tyring to make the whole process work.

My purchased songs won't play all the way through. how can i fix this?

I purchased a few albums from itunes and now when i play them, they cut off a minute into the song. Can anyone tell me why and how i can fix this problem?

Solved (copy and pasted from my post) For others having this problem, delete the songs you have just purchased from itunes. Then, go to the store and in quick links click on "Purchased". Then find on the top right "Songs not on this computer" (or something similar) and you will find them for download. It's best to download them one at a time and wait for one to complete before moving on to the next one.

After updating to Yosemite, some tracks on purchased albums will not play.

Hi klivak,
If you are having difficulties with playing certain tracks purchased from the iTunes Store in iTunes, I would suggest deleting those songs and then downloading them again. See this article -

Certain albums won't play on Iphone but still play perfectly fine in Itunes

Since I updated my Iphone to IOS5, certain albums won't play. They work perfectly fine in Itunes on my imac and the still appear in my library on the Iphone, but it won't start playing. The strange thing is, they are all albums from this year. All the rest is working properly.
Allready tried importing the whole library again but that was a waste of time.

Having the same problem with only a few albums.
Any news on this issue?

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

My solution was restoring my iPhone. Techs at Apple couldn't figure out why so I had to do a restore and worked after that. I know it's a pain and you have to reinstall all you stuff, but it worked for me. Hope this helps.

One album won't play on my iPhone 4S

One album won't play on my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3. If select a song and click Play it flashes through the whole album with the play/pause button switching back and forth between play and pause - as though it played the whole album but all the songs were zero length.
I deleted all the songs in the album then re-synced from iTunes - same problem.
The tracks are Apple Lossless (ALAC) as are most of my tracks.
They were ripped from CD as FLAC and converted to ALAC using XLD - the same as with many of my CDs all of which play fine.
All the tracks on the album play OK in iTunes and if I connect my phone to PhoneView I can play the files on the phone so the music files themselves are OK.
Also, most importantly, these tracks used to play fine
Looking at the music file dates in the iTunes library they were imported in August this year so would have been under iOS6. I can't remember when they stopped playing (I tend to use Shuffle most of the time) but could it be related to the iOS7 u/g, even though it doesn't seem to affect any other album?
I've found quite a few threads about non-playing music but none of them are exactly this problem.

I have this issue as well and I am already on iOS 7.0.4.
Appears to be only on the apple lossless tracks added mid november via Itunes sync.
Please help.
I too u/g to 7.0.4 but the problem persisted. I even did a factory reset and restore of my iPhone without success.
I then grabbed a copy of Max and re-converted the FLACs, deleted the album from iTunes and my phone, re-imported the new ALACs et voilà problem solved.
So it seems that it was something to do with the version of XLD I used and playing the resulting ALACs on iOS7 (although the album definitely played a couple of times under iOS6).
The only reason I rip to FLAC then convert to ALAC is that the rMBP doesn't have an optical drive and the only one I have is in a Linux box but I don't think there are any Linux rippers that rip to ALAC.
If Max had failed, the last resort would have been to try and borrow a USB optical drive and rip with iTunes.

TS1389 Only one song won't play after authorizing my computer. I authorized it over and over. I even deauthorized all computers, and still same results. How can I fix this ? I'm using a MacBook Pro with iTunes 11

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

HT4623 Can I move a purchased album from my ipad mini to my iphone 4s?

Can I move a purchased Album from my ipad mini to my iphone 4s?

No, you cannot move content from one iGadget to another. What you can do is download the content onto the other device, either from the iTunes Store directly or from your Library stored in the computer where you have installed iTunes. There is a limit to how many different iGadgets you can download a single purchase to, the magic number being four (4), IIRC.
