Why do the songs I bought are incomplete?

I downloaded them but when i try to play them, they cut at the 10th second and the next song starts to play

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime 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.

What happens if you restart iTunes?
Look in the Recently Added playlist.  What happens if in the Get Info window you add the lettter (any letter actually) "X" to the end of the artist name, then remove it?
Right click on a problem file in the Recently Added playlist and then Show In Playlist > Music  Do you see it?
Delete the files from iTunes but do not let iTunes move them to the trash.  Now go to where they are located in Finder and add them again.  Does that work?
If you don't see it in Recently Added, make a new playlist window and drag the files from where iTunes put them to an empty playlist.  Do they show?
Please post a response.  I make various suggstions here at least once a day in response to this issue and I have no idea if they work for people.

  • The songs I bought are not in the file of the songs I bought.

    I bought more or less 80 songs but now in the file where are the songs I bought there are only 18 songs (the latest I bought) and the songs I bought before these I can't download them. The first problem I had was that there were all the songs in the iTunes that I bought but there were twice, so I deleted one of the both, and now these songs I deleted are not in the file of the songs I bought. How can I repair that? I'm really nervous.

    Sign out of the iTunes Store, Sign in again. You should be able to download your past purchases from iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer. Alternatively look in the recycle bin for the files that have been deleted, then drag & drop these into ..\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes.

    I bought an album. The songs are incomplete, about a minute in length only. How can I redownload them?

    If the problem persists after redownloading contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously.

    Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously. This is a big problem which means all my windows -> iphone pictures are half black or glitched on the iphone. Also my songs are completely glitched. I have tried resyncing and different USB-ports.

    Same problem on Iphone 4s AND windows 7.  Really annoying that I can't have any music on my brand NEW device.

  • Why doesnt a song I bought on my Ipad appear on my ipod

    Why doesnt a song I bought on my Ipad appear on my Ipod Touch?

    It will only work for new purchases you make on other devices/computers.
    For past purchases you can either sync them to the iPod or redownload them directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT1491 why is the songs i downloaded not on my i pod

    why is the songs i have paid for and downloaded on my laptop not on my i pod??

    It should be in the Videos app (the iTunes app on the iPad is just the iTunes store and the Downloads tab in it shows downloads that are happening/queued, once they've finished downloading they disappear from the tab) :

    Sorry, I meant the letters look "faded" not faed.

    Err this is no longer April 1st you know.
    The iPod Shuffle has never had a 'display' on which track names can be shown. See http://www.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/ if you want an iPod which does have a display on which you can see the tracks names and even the album cover art then look instead at the bigger and more expensive iPod Nano http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/ or iPod Touch http://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/
    PS. The current iPod Shuffle even though it has no display on which it can show the track names can read them out loud to you using a voice-synthesiser this is the VoiceOver feature described on the iPod Shuffle product page I listed above.

  • Can't play the songs I bought from iStore

    I can't play the songs I bought from iStore.
    It complain about the autorization, but how much I try it seems like I can't get this computer to get authorized.
    I login to iStore with my only login account, buy the song, and it gets downloaded. Then when I try to play the song, I asks me again about the authorization. I use the same accout login, and it reply that this computer is now authorized... again. But the songs stil can't be played.
    If I click again on the song the same loop above repeats itself.
    Frustrastion = I can't play the songs I have bought.
    Anyone?
    M.

    I, also, have that authorization nonsense (I am the administrator, and only user of the computer). But, still, I cannot make any changes. You will have to report to someone at iTunes, if you try to play the downloaded songs from iTunes.
    Which version, has it always been that way?
    Also, did you change your username/password, if things were working fine, at one time?
    I had your problem when I, originally, signed up with my AOL address. When I quite AOL, I got an Apple id, and I could not access my songs from AOL days for over three months. Eventually, someone at Apple helped me.

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:
    Apple - Support - iTunes

  • Why does the song currently playing not correspond with the title

    Since the latest update of iTunes when I play a CD or import it into iTunes, the song currently playing and the title shown for that song are not correct. All the songs and titles are there but they are jumbled. Any ideas? Thanks, i need all the help i can get.

    There is dirt our moisture in the dock connector on the phone or the end of the cable. Or possibly a bad cable.
    You can clean the connector with a dry toothbrush or wooden toothpick; inspect it with a magnifying glass to make sure it is clean.
