Whole song doesn't play on I-pod when transferred from I-tunes

I purchased several songs from the I-tunes store. All of them play correctly in my library and on my I-pod except for 2 of them. The whole songs didn't transfer over, just part of them. The songs just stop half way through and switch over to the next one. Does anyone know what the problem is and how I can correct it? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

The latest iTunes versions appear to have trouble transferring data. I'm not totally certain, but I think the most reliable fix is to reserve as much of the processor/CPU for iTunes as possible. Try to have as few programs as possible running on your computer when you sync. Especially quit browsers and any programs which use significant amounts of CPU and/or memory.
Make sure iTunes is set to sync only checked music and videos. Then, with the iPod connected, uncheck the files that don't play completely. Sync. Then go back and check those files again. Then sync.

  • TS1424 I paid for and downloaded a song, but the whole song does not play. Why is this, and how can I get it back without buying the song again?

    Depending upon what country that you are in have you tried deleting and redownloading it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the 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 that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Some songs doesn't play!

    I have this 4GB iPod 3rd Gen Silver since last year,though I haven't got any problems using it till now...but later today, It seems that some of the songs doesn't play!is there anyone who can assist?

  • My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

    Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

  • A purchased song doesn't play, and won't authorize

    I purchased an album, and one of the songs on the album won't play.  It comes up with the Authorized box like the song hasn't been authorized, but even when I do it over and over it still won't play.  IT also won't play on any of my devices, or other computers that are authorized on this account.

    Try deleting the problem track from iTunes (allow iTunes to move the track file to the trash) and then re-downloading it via this procedure:

    If the track still doesn't work, notify the iTunes Store about the problem:

  • One song doesn't play fully on iTunes...

    Champagne Supernova - Oasis
    This song, purchased on Google, won't play fully on iTunes, but WILL play fully on Windows Media Player and my iPod. It displays the time "7:33", but when I try to select the song for playing, "3:57" flashes before returning to "7:33". Looking up on the music player, the end time displays "3:57", and the song only plays up to 3:57 before skipping to the next song. Trying to reset the time stop option fails, as if I try to put "7:33" in the time stop, iTunes automatically forces the time "3:57" on it again. How can I solve this issue?
    The file is an MP3 (MPEG-1, Layer 3) encoded with LAME 3.98.

    But this one song I downloaded recently doesn't play it fully and stops/cuts out about 2 mins into the song on both iTunes and my ipod and my blackberry.
    How can I get this song to play fully without paying for another copy and re-downloading??
    Thanks
    Post in the iTunes Store forum area if you purchased the songs from there.  Since your issue is happening in all of your mobile machines, the issue is with the song, not your iPod, iTunes app or your blackberry.

  • Song doesn't play right

    Just one out of over a thousand songs does not play right anymore. It is almost as though it is skipping, and jolts in slower than the actual pace of the song. The song was purchased from the iTunes store quite some time ago, and just recently stopped working. I have updated to the latest version of iTunes, and it still does not play right.

    I have the same problem. I purchased a song off iTunes over two years ago and for the past month the song has played so roughly that it's unbearable to listen to. This problem may coincide with the recent iTunes update to the most recent version. Please answer this question before I begin to think Apple wanted old songs to play improperly to force the listener to re-purchase.
    Thanks!

  • Song Doesn't Play On iPod, But Will Play In Itunes

    Hello
    So, i ripped my copy of Disturbed's Asylum to my PC in mp3, the song plays fine in iTunes, but when transferred to my iPod, it will not play if I either select it or pass it on a playlist. The album artwork and information displays fine, but it will just stop at 0 time for a couple seconds, then advance to the next song. Also, the play count increases everytime it runs over the song, so it is capable of writing data to the file.
    I've re-added the song to iTunes and restored my iPod, but neither have worked. Any idea why this happens with just the one song?

    *Skipping songs*
    The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
    You may like to try scanning the files with MP3 Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
    Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
    Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

    The above relates to songs which have always been a problem. If songs have played fine on the iPod before but don't any longer (and they haven't been updated) then one possible cause is some form of hard drive corruption.
    *Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode*
    It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    *Reallocated Sectors Count*
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
    *Pending sector count*
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.

  • Loss of songs when updating from I-Tunes

    I had about 30 songs on IPOD Nano and in library of I-Tunes. Bought nine more songs from I-Tunes. The computer told me the new songs were in a different place and did I want the new file to me the main location of songs. I clicked yes.
    The 30 songs were deleted (I can't find them) and I can only see the nine new songs in my Library. Updated my IPOD Nano and the 30 songs are no longer there and the nine new songs are.
    Please advise on what happened and how to consolidate the 30 old songs and the nine new ones.

    There are two ways to update your iPod and its music. Automatically and manually.
    You were updating automatically. This means the iPod's library will look exactly like the iTunes library is is updating with. By clicking yes, you told the iPod to look exactly like the other computer (which didn't have your other 30 songs on it).
    See this if you want to use your iPod with two computers...

    You would want to manually update...

    Now, are those songs on your original computer? They were deleted off of your iPod but should still be on your computer.

  • Firefox will not play .ogv video files when loaded from a server. Does anyone have any answers that will fix this?

    I've read the suggestions for fixing this, and none of them work. I've updated my .htaccess to match MIME types for .ogv, I've uploaded the files as both Binary and ASCII, neither method works. The .ogv file plays fine when you load it from a local file, but it will not play when viewed from a remote server. I've confirmed with my hosting company that the .htaccess and all other issues for HTML5 are up-to-date. Safari and Chrome play the HTML5 videos just fine, but Firefox will not. Does anyone have any concrete answers as to what the problem is. I'm also serving up the video files as .webm and .mp4, but neither of these formats works in Firefox either.

    That can happen if the server isn't configured properly to send the files with a by Firefox supported MIME type.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types
    Did you check via the Web Console which headers Firefox receives when requesting the .ogv file?
    If that is OK then it is possible that the file is using an unsupported coding method.

  • If a song doesn't play fully and I already downloaded it what should I do

    Hi for some reason I downloaded a song called Fly Rich by Rich Gang and for some reason it only plays 6 seconds of it when it says it has the entire song downloaded what should I do because if it doesn't get fixed I will for surely be one unhappy customer.

    Delete your current copy, don't "hide in iCloud" if prompted, then go to Store > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer, and download again. Close iTunes and reopen if the track isn't listed. If the problem persists use the "Report a problem" links from Store > View My Account > Purchase History.

  • Song doesn't play and skips to next song

    I downloaded a song onto my Ipod from my computer and it plays perfectly on my computer but when I try to play it on my Ipod, it doesn't work and just skips straight to the next song on the playlist. I already tried to add it again but it still doesn't work. What should I do?

    Have you tried resetting your iPod?
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
    Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Downloaded song doesn't play

  • TS1362 The song doesn't play in its entirety

    I bought and downloaded 5 songs within the same 10 minute period. 3 of them play correctly but 2 of them play about 3/4 of the way through and then abruptly cut off or go to the next song in sequence.

    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.

  • How do I fix my ipod when it skips songs,doesn't play song,or plays a different song than requested?

    My ipod started messing up ever since i downloaded the ios 5. Everytime i request a song it will skip the song and pick a random song, not play the song at all sorta like it's frozen in that spot until i fix it, or i will click on a song and it will play a different song all together but with the title song that i chose. i'd really apprieciate the help. Thanks so much,
    Hannah

    When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see this icon displayed.
    It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
    You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
    Or you can try this.
    No power adaptor? Try this.
    Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.
