Why are some songs cut off early?

I just transferred my iTunes library from my old macbook (where it was working fine) to my new macbook pro. I notice many songs cut off before finishing, usually all the songs from a same album. I downloaded my past purchases from icloud and still happens. My ipod, which I now synced with my new macbook is (obviously) doing the same. Anyone have any bright ideas to resolve this? I guess Apple is too busy counting all the money from us suckers who have bought their hardware and/or paid for music downloads from iTunes to take care of this.

I am having the same problem.  I moved my files from an old Windows XP machine to a new Windows 7 machine.  I put them in the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder thinking they would all be added to my library and work just fine.  Now I noticed that all songs for the same Artist get cut off at the same point in time.  For one artist, it was 2:25.  Any song shorter than that worked fine.  Any song longer got cut off.  For another artist, it was 2:17.  It seems to be more with songs I downloaded from iTunes.  Songs that came from CDs that I own and imported seem to be fine but I haven't checked every song.  Any help Apple?

  • Music in library, why are some songs not marked with cloud?

    Music in library, why are some songs not marked with cloud icon?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Where exactly are you looking and what do they look like, there are several iCloud icons used in iTunes.
    Maybe a screenshot.

  • Why are some songs in a "protected MPEG-4 audio" format

    Why are some songs I've purchased in a "protected MPEG-4 audio" format?

    iTunes store used to sell its music that way several years ago, but then removed DRM protection as a standard format I think 2 years ago.  How long ago did you make the purchase?  I don't think they still use it on any audio now, but it is definitely used on video.

  • Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them

    Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them
    the songs are in the library

    I had the same problem when only about 5% of my 11,000 song collection on my Ipad would play after downloading OS 7.0.  I re synced my Ipad with ITunes on my MacBook selecting no music and all of the music was erased from the Ipad.  I then re-synched it selecting all music, all songs re-loaded, and all songs play just fine.

  • ITunes songs cut off early

    Heyas;
    So I have been going through my iTunes collection - backing up and getting missing artwork, etc. and I have noticed that several songs end early/get cut-off. This happened to one song a while back that was a download from the iTunes store. I figured the file somehow got corrupted so re-bought the song from the iTunes store. Now that it has happened to several songs I am suspicious that there must be another issue than one corrupt file.
    The files that cut off early are AAC format. There may be some older MP3 formatted songs that are effected as well but I have not found any as of yet. The recently effected files are ones I imported from my CD collection; but as mentioned above, I have had issues with iTunes store songs as well.
    I also recently deleted all the songs from my Windows 7 PC and transferred all the files from my Mac Mini (where I keep the 'master' copies), using 'home sharing'.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this post
    Any suggestions?
    I use a Mac Mini 10.4 and a Windows 7 PC. I keep both iTunes libraries synced up.

    I have the same problem.  It's disappointing that there aren't more replies to this issue two years later.  I just delete the song from iTunes and then delete the song file in the iTunes Library.  Then I go back to the store and redownload it.  It asks if you would like to "purchase" the song again.  Say Yes.  You can download the song for free(You won't have to pay again). Then you have to listen to that song to see if it's complete. Sometimes I have to do this several times before I finally get the full song   WHY??? When there are several songs on one album that are incomplete this can be a very tedious process.  I bought an album today and a few of the songs are cut off like this.  So I'm off to try to get my money's worth...

  • Why do so many of my songs cut off early?

    Before updating my iTunes, the songs had no trouble playing in full.

    Perhaps I should have added that I use gmail as my mail provider as I see there are some problems with gmail elsewhere. I also have my iPad and iPhone 6 synched using iCloud. The synching seems to work mostly, though again occasionally a deleted message will reappear on one or both devices.

  • New iTunes Store Songs Cut Off Early

    I just downloaded two new songs from the Store. Each cuts off and ends with about a minute left. Having paid for both songs, I expect them to play. Is this fixable?

  • Why are some songs only available for other countries iTunes Stores

    I have tried to purchase some songs from the French ITunes Store, but I got an alert saying I had to switch over to the US store to do so. I did, but when I searched for the songs in the US store, I could not find them. Why is this so? Is there any way I can get the songs from the French iTunes Store?
    Thanks for the help

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I do live in the US. I assume that it works the same, that Apple doesn't have permission to sell the French songs in the US. Thank you for the quick response.
    Thanks for the help

  • Why are some songs in a playlist checked an others not?

    I have created a new playlist from some of my music but some of the songs have a tick (check) mark in the box next to them and others don't.  I can't seem to either check all of the songs or uncheck the checked ones.  Does this matter?  What does it mean?  Any advice gratefully received, thanks

    I have the same issue.. seems like randomly.. some songs are unchecked by iTunes (I've never proactively unchecked any).. is this a bug?

  • Why are some songs not available for ringtones?

    I had a ringtone on my old RAZR phone and loved it. I would like to make it my ringtone on my Iphone. The song is available in Itunes and I saw another post that said some songs even though they don't have a "bell" in the ringtone column can still be made into ringtones. I have the CD, but I downloaded the song anyway and it tells me that song is no longer available for ringtones. How do I go about asking Apple/Itunes to make it available again?

    Best thing is to call Apple Support in your country, and/or to post your feedback at:

  • Why do some songs "drop" off a video clip???

    I purchased songs from ITunes to add to video clips in an IMovie project.  However, some of these songs always drop off the clips.  The timeline shows the name of the song, but there is no audio.  Other songs work fine.  Just about every affected song shows a yellow warning with an exclamation point on it.
    Anything you can help me with?
    Thanks in Advance.

    This may be happening because there is no album name for those songs. Since the song with an album title does show up, try naming the albums for the other three songs. They'll probably show up.

  • Why are some songs in gray?

    I currently have the latest Apple TV and I listen to my music streaming it from my itunes in my iMac on my network at home. For some reason some of the songs in some albums will be displayed in gray randomly. I'm able to play the song when it's shaded but it will then skip all the songs shaded in that album and skip to the next non-shaded song. It doesn't happen all the time but it's annoying when it does. I've been a mac user since the 90's so yes I've done all the usual restarting mac, apple tv, updating software. It has been happening for a few months now and to this day it still does it. My iMac is connected to my Airport Extremeac with an ethernet cable and not wifi. My Apple TV is connected to my Airport Extreme wirelessly.

    Not the cause of this issue, but you will probably save your self some headaches if you also can connect your ATV via ethernet. 
    There are a bunch of things that could cause this.  Here are the top ones that come to mind.
         1.  The song was purchased with a different AppleId/account than the ATV was activated with.
         2.  ATV has not been able to connect to the internet for a while to verify its DRM activation status.
         3.  ATV can not connect to the iTunes device that is sharing the content.
         4.  If the song is not from the iTunes store and ATV does not think it can play the file type.  This usually only happens with video files.
         5.  The songs are on a shared external hard drive that has gone to sleep.
         6.  iTunes is not actually running on the computer severing the content.
    Are you playing these though the music icon on ATV or going under computers?

  • Why are some songs not fully downloading?

    Most of the songs that I've downloaded lately are not playing fully. They're stopping less than halfway through and skipping to the next song. I know this is happening to others also, is there any way I can fix this? It's rather unfair, since my mum has payed for all these songs, yet there's no point even buying them if I can't listen and enjoy them. Thus, I was wondering is there anything I can do, or must it be repaired by iTunes? Also, have iTunes aknowledged this problem? Thanks!

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player or another media player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.  If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773

  • Why are some songs from YouTube MP3 not syncing now? It used to work perfectly. Is this because of the update?

    I've been using a website to sync music and videos straight from YouTube to my computer and importing them into iTunes (which I know isn't good, but I like some music that is hard to find) and it has worked just fine up until now. I just updated both my iTunes and iPhone operating systems so they are just fine but I was wondering if the update was the problem. Can anyone help or has anyone else experienced these issues?

    Problem:  this mac is not reading an excell file after upgrading to yosemite...   Now it once i donwload the zip it appears with an ".ods" extension...
    If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice.
