Why do the songs I download get cut off

why do the songs I download get cut off

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.

https://discussions.apple.com/message/17661693 - issue resolved by re-downloading files or rebuilding library file [note, although the poster says this restored all, my understanding is the .xml file does not retain all the details of the original library file].
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.

I purchased a soundtrack on iTunes (Windows 7) and five of the songs that downloaded get cut off before they finish playing...any idea how to get it fixed?

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.

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) :

When I minimize my window, the scrollbars and tabs get cut off and I can't get to them.

The tabs get cut off right in the middle of a tab, and the scroll bars disappear so I can't change what part of the screen I'm viewing. This is particularly annoying when watching netflix. Does anyone have a fix for this?

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off.<br />
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Why does the song i downloaded keep asking me to authorize it for my computer, and when i do it plays a differant song

I downloaded Fast AS You from I-Tunes. When I click on it to play it a pop up box says I have to authorize the song for my computer and asks for my password. When I enter my pass word it plays 6th Avenue Heartache. Over and over, even after a reboot it does the same thing. Any ideas?
Thanks, Don

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

Why do the songs I downloaded to my Ipad not sync to my ipod?

I purchased songs on my Ipad that have not been synced to my ipod. Any suggestions?

Hi, Kathie1945.
The easiest way to handle this is to download the past purchase on your computer through iTunes, then after that just sync the iPod with iTunes. If your iPod is an iPod touch, you can download past purchases directly on the device.

Song titles are getting cut off for some reason

I never had this problem before but for some reason the last few songs I have imported and encoded into AAC have the titles cut off after (I guess) a certain amount of characters. This has never been a problem before. Is there a preference that I need to change? I'm running 7.0.1.8 for Windows.
I have many other songs with longer titles than the latest I have uploaded. This is a strange new occurence.
Thanks in advance

No one else having this problem I take it. Can't find any info regarding character length restrictions.

Why is the top of my website cut off?

If you have a look at the site i'm working on
at checkoutni.com
The top of the site is cut off in firefox and IE,
it isn't extra margin,
and it does it in liveview in dreamweaver too,
i w3c validated the html and css
and i've tried playing around with margins and padding
but i can't figure it out.
Any help would be nice.
Thanks
Daniel
And there should be margin around the logo which isn't there.

Change all this:
#header {
    width: 760px;
    margin: 10px;
    background-image: url(images/transparent_BG.png);
#header h1 a {
    display: block;
    width: 240px;
    height: 56px;
    margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px;
    background-image: url(images/logo.png);
    text-indent: -9999px;
#ahead h2 {
    display: block;
    width: 160px;
    height: 20px;
    margin: 10px;
    background-image: url(images/about.png);
    text-indent: -9999px;
To this:
#header {background: url(images/transparent_BG.png);}
#header h1 {
/**adjust as needed**/
min-height: 60px;
/**for older IE**/
_height: 60px
margin:0;
padding:0;
background: url(images/logo.png) no-repeat;
text-indent: -99999px;
#ahead h2 {
background: url(images/about.png) no-repeat;
text-indent: -99999px;

TS1424 song partially downloaded and cuts off last 1/3 of song

I downloaded a song and it seems to have only partially downloaded, how do i get the rest of it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Why does the iphone volume randomly gets turned off/down.

Around 4-5 times a day I have noticed that the volume on my iPhone has been turned all the way down. Anyone have any suggestions what is doing it?

well i just did two test videos.
just like a while ago when I first encountered this issue.
take a video with the volume buttons up = upside down when played in VLC
take a video with the volume buttons down = normal.
such a shame when they released the feature to use the volume button as a shutter button.
this wouldn't be such a big deal if I could upload 1080p to YouTube from my phone. But NOOOO, but I have to first upload it to my computer, then upload it to YouTube, and thats where the problem comes to play.
so whatever. ill just have to remember to take videos with the volume buttons down.

Song Titles Get Cut Off

I have decided to convert all of the music on my computer from MP3 to AAC format, but when i convert songs the titles tend to be cut off after 35 characters or less. A good portion of my music has rather long names in the file titles because some of them have either those featured on the song or the name of the album within the file title while they are MP3, but after having converted them to AAC this causes an inconvenience because the title will be cut off at odd places such as just after the "artist - album title" or for example if the song title itself was "portion of the song title" the newly created AAC file will only display "artist - album title - portio" rather than "artist - album title - portion of the song title" as would be preferred. I have tried turning of the option of "Automatically retrieve CD track names from the Internet" and this has not helped at all.
Is the shortening of the song titles simply an issue that I will just have to live with or is there some other option/possibly downloadable patch that could stop this from happening to my selection of music? I would love to convert the music to AAC but i also enjoy not having sore eyes and a headache from tedious tasks like copying and pasting the song names from a website into the file names for hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it wouldnt be such a problem if the conversion process just cut out the album title in the name of the file, but it's the fact that the album title remains part of the file title and the song name will be cut off instead so when viewing the files in the folder they all have either the exact same name minus and appended number or they all have only a portion of the title to the track

Why do my margins get cut off when I right click print, but not when I open my document and print?

When I right click print (without opening the document) my margins get cut off, but if I actally open my pdf document and click print, it will print just fine. This only happens when the document has print that is close to the edge.
I am using Adobe 10.1.2 with Windows 7.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and help

As for your comment on this being my first Mac, and the program issue, you misunderstood. Yes the eMac is in fact my first, personally owned, Mac computer other than the original Apple II series floppy fed PC, in which me and my father owned. The only other Apple/Macintosh computer I had experience on was my father's 13" MacBook Pro, and 20" iMac (both ran OSX Tiger 10.4.11, just as the one I have know runs). The iMac was upgraded to Snow Leopard due to our need for better picture/video/audio editing software such as that of Adobe, and the Macbook Pro was sold because of a business that was started being siphoned out of money. I purchased the eMac from a small business based off of eBay. It had the majority of OSX Tiger software, only missing minor programs like Photobooth. Other than that, it had no wireless software like BlueTooth, Wi-Fi capabilities, wireless sync, ect... But alas, when you buy a Apple/Mac computer, you must take a few cutbacks when purchasing it (even refurb.) for around $120.00 including taxing, shipping, handling, ect... I purchased nearly all of my software from co-workers and friends who had an extra key, or I would receive the software disc from them, and buy a key. The only "illegal" thing I had on the computer was music I had downloaded from LimeWire. I have never, and will never, trust any software coming from a torrent download site.

Printing page designed in DW gets cut off in IE & FF ~ WHY !!!

Can anyone explain why even if I design the page at 760 px.
[had it at 900 px. originally] when it's opened in the web [IE /
FF] the RIGHT margin gets cut off. WHY?? Should it be set in %%
rather then pixels?
Is there code to guarantee the text will NOT get cut off??
Geese, I feel like a newby!!
Thanks,

I spoke with Microsoft technical support via phone today. Between us - we seemed to have found the problem.
It's to do with the DPI (the font size) settings in Windows!?
I have mine set to 188% on my Windows Vista mahcine and 200% on my Windows 7 laptop.
From my Printing tests in Internet Explorer 9...
at 100 % DPI – it prints perfectly
at 150% DPI – it prints perfectly
at 200% DPI – the right side of the margin is cut off, and no footer is printed – despite it looking perfect in the Print Preview.
I am using http://uk.msn.com/ as my test print outs.
This indicates when the DPI is changed above 150%, IE9 doesn't print properly – though other browsers like Safari or Firefox do print correctly. This surely has to indicate a bug in either the Windows operating system or Internet Explorer 9?
Microsoft are going to run their own tests and phone me back tomorrow...hopefully with a solution!
Hope this helps any others with the same problem at the moment!
Would be great if HP could provide a soloution asap - surely a tweak to the Printer dirvers will fix the problem?

Tops of Signatures get cut off...

Can anyone tell me why or, better yet, how to fix the following issue I keep having?
When using Adobe Reader and the "Sign>I Need To Sign>Place Signature" function with "Signature Style 4" the top of some of the letters of signatures gets cut off (see screenshot below).
I cannot find a way to rejustify the text nor am I able to enlarge only the box that the text is located in. The single enlarging feature for the box is a diagonal enlargement tool which inherently also enlarges the text when it is used. So it defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to fix and only makes the issue into a larger size.
Any assistance in correcting this issue is greatly appreciated!

There are several situations where this could happen.
1) If you have 4:3 footage (standard def) in a 16:9 project (widescreen) and select CROP in the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool, then it will cut off the top and bottom of your clips to make them fill the screen. If you select FIT instead of CROP, it will letterbox (add black bars) so you see the whole clip.
2) This can also happen when you automatically apply image stabilization. Stabilization works by zooming in. You can turn off stabilization in the Clip Inspector.
3) If you have iPhone clips and the iPhone was held vertically, then this will be an issue for you, because iMovie always sets the aspect ratio to match a TV screen, so the horizontal dimension will always be the longest. For best results, shoot all movies in landscape mode on your iPhone. If you have already shot in Portrait Mode, I suggest using FIT rather than CROP so you do not cut off the heads.
