TS1470 Downloaded songs stop mid-song in iTunes music library and on iPod.

I received the 'secure network connection could not be established' error message several times during a recent audio download.  I was able to eventually complete all of the downloads by going to the 'available downloads' area.  However, when I played back the downloaded songs, several of them ended mid-song although the complete songs appear to have successfully downloaded judging by the 'Time' (minutes) count for each song.  (Interestingly enough, the majority of the songs that stopped mid-song during playback were marked as having high popularity in the iTunes store.)
I've had this issue with previous downloads too.  I've been charged for and have paid for these songs, but didn't receive the full product in some cases.  It's very frustrating that I'm not able to enjoy these songs in their entirety.
Have other folks had this issue?  What is the resolution?

Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

    allow me to add that it also deleted all of the "genres" that I developed myself (I listen to a lot of obscure/experimental music)

    Right-click any song in iTunes, show it in the Windows Explorer, navigate up to the iTunes Music folder, and drag it there.

  • Syncing itunes music library with my ipod nano

    I set up my new ipod this weekend. All music in my library synced fine. However, I added new songs to one of my play lists, when I went to sync to get the new tunes on my ipod, I chose that playlist. It deleted all other music and only loaded that playlist.
    Also, I went to clean out my itunes music library and when I hit delete, it said that the next time I synced my nano, it would remove all songs not in music library
    Two questions...
    1. Do I have to check all playlists every time I upload new songs
    2. I don't want to keep all the songs I already have in my ipod on my computer. Do I have to keep all songs in my music library in order to avoid songs being deleted when I sync with my ipod or is there a way to only add new songs

    Hi Ricehouse;
    You have posted your questions on iTune and iPods in the forum for OS 9. I would suggest that you report either over in the iTune or iPod forums for Windows. There will be more people there that can help you.

  • I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

    I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week.  Help!  Thanks.

    Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
    How to restore data to your PC is outside the scope of these forums.

  • ITunes Music Library and iTunes Music Folders Contain Different File

    I recently lost all of the music off of my iPod because of a defective hard drive. I have now reloaded it all and bought an external hard drive to back-up my music (which music I either purchased from iTunes or copied from CDs I own). When I open iTunes Music Library all of my content is present and it is all on my iPod as well. When I look at iTunes Music Files on my C drive - not all of my content is present (for example, only 2 of 3 Billy Joel cds show up). Thus, when I attempt to back-up, I am not capturing everything that is in my iTunes Music Library. Is there a way to synch these, or is there a reason that they are not the same. Again, in the case of the Billy Joel example, all three discs were owned by me so presumably there is no source issue.
    Thanks

    Assuming that you're using the external drive strictly for back-up purposes and keeping "working" copies of your music on the C drive, you can use the Advanced menu > Consolidate Library option to make sure that the entire contents of your Music Library is placed in the iTunes Music folder - default location C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\My Music\iTunes .

  • I accidentally added a folder to iTunes music library and now all of my songs are in there twice. How do I delete the folder/music i just imported?

    I added a folder accidentally to my iTunes library and now all of the songs are in there twice. I tried to stop the import but it transferred too quickly. How do I delete all those songs without having to click on each one to delete?

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
    to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • Why is itunes only importing a few songs out of many in itunes music folder and then creating a new folder named "music" contianing those few songs?

    This problem has come up after installing a new hard disk to replace a failed one.  I restored the music just fine but iTunes only recognizes a few of the song tracks and then creates a new folder within iTunes called "music"  that contains those few songs.  Tried deleting the .itl and .xml files and reimporting via "Add Library Folder" option with similar results.

    I have installed a new windows 7 computer (Dell) and downloaded the latest version of ITunes. How can I populate my music into ITunes from my I-pod classic?

    Hey AppleMacParker,
    Thanks for the question. The following article may assist you in setting up syncing with your iPod:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
    Select items to sync automatically
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
    2. Select the type of media you want to sync.
    The types of media you can sync depends on your device. For more information, see Sync and organize iOS apps and Add photos to iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
    3. Select the Sync checkbox, and select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
    Click a button to select the kind of content you want to sync, then select the sync checkbox and select the items you want to sync automatically
    The bar at the bottom of the window shows how much space will remain on your device after you sync.
    Thanks,

  • The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library

    My daughter just purchased an iTunes Shuffle with her birthday money. We imported several CDs into the iTunes Library and successfully loaded the iPod Shuffle with about 120 songs. We then turned off the computer. The next time we attached the iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes opened up and gave the following message:
    The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs on this iPod with those from this library?
    Wow, that's a confusing question. I answered "no" to it initially, and the message went away, leaving my library empty. I disconnected the iPod Shuffle and then reconnected it and got the same question. This time I answered "yes" and our library is still empty. I can see all the CDs we imported in the iTunes folder and the individual songs are there as well. But for some reason, the library is not displaying them. iTunes also doesn't show the icon for the iPod when it's connected. Any ideas on how to fix this situation?

    We are using this iPod on only 1 PC with 1 user with WinXP. I have been able to "file/add folder to library" to retrieve my daughter's songs. I also 'restored' the iPod to factory settings and updated it with the latest software and I did the same for the iTunes software. Everything is updated now. When I click on the button to "autofill" her iPod, I can get a few of the 118 songs in our library to download, but then I get an error messages that states, "Attempting to copy to the disk failed. An unknown error occurred. (-69)" Any ideas on what's happening here? Another I noticed that's strange is when I try to autofill the iPod, my 3.5" floppy light starts blinking. Perhaps this iPod software thinks the floppy is the iPod???

  • My ipod is linked to another itunes music library?????

    I recieved this notice last time I logged into my iTunes. "The iPod is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs on this iPod with those form this library?
    The thing is that I'm still using the same computer and never used another one to try to load any songs onto my iPod Shuffle. The Shuffle still has approximately 55 songs on it and I can't find them in my iTunes library. Anyone have any ideas as to how to put them from my iPod to my iTunes? Or how to find them on my computer to reload to my iTunes library?
    Thanks for any assistance,
    Sincerely,

    A couple different possiblities can lead to this...
    iPod's not only "attach" to a single computer, but also a single user account on that computer. Are you using the same Windows user account?
    If you are, then possibly the iTunes Music Library file was trashed from "My Documents\My Music\iTunes". The "iTunes Music Library" files found in this folder must stay here and must not be altered (except by iTunes, of course).

  • ITunes Music Library vs. iTunes Library

    What is the difference (datawise) between "iTunes Music Library" and "iTunes Library?"
    To add music files to the library while in my C drive, do I click and drag the files into where?? ...the "iTunes folder" or another folder? I can't add them to the .itl or.xml files, so how do I add them??

    *to add music files to the library while in my C drive, do I click and drag the files into where??*
    You open iTunes and drag the songs to the Source list (the long pane on the left hand side). Alternatively in iTunes go to File>Add file to library or File>Add folder to library and navigate to the file or folder of files that you want to add.
    The iTunes Library file is the database that holds all of your library information, song titles, artists, playlists, playcounts etc. The iTunes Music Library is an XML file iTunes uses to communicate library information with other programs. You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?

  • Accessing iTunes Music Library database

    I'd like to find some way -- perhaps through third-party applications, add-ons, or just simple programming languages -- that I can query the iTunes Music Library, and do things beyond what are possible within iTunes itself.
    For example, I'd like to perform queries such as:
    Find all records from PlaylistA that are also in PlaylistB.
    Find all records in the entire database that are NOT IN Playlist C.
    Find all records in the database with {qualifer 1} and {qualfier 1} and not ({qualifier 3} or {qualifier 4}).
    These are all simple queries in something like SQL, but not from within iTunes. What other applications are there that can access the iTunes database in this manner (and, hopefull, with a decent GUI interface)???

    I had not looked at the SDK yet -- in fact, I wasn't aware of it. I've just downloaded the iTunes COM for Windows, and will probably spend some time with it over the weekend. I was hoping, however, for more of a "finished" solution -- not that I don't mind diving into the SDK, but just based on my current lack of "free time" for this kind of thing. I do have Red Chair Software's Anapod Explorer, which contains a Web-based, SQL-like query interface called Xtreamer. However, it really only looks at things like ID3 tags, and I don't think it can access things like Playlists.
    Thanks for the pointer.
