Downloaded songs from iTunes only plays half way and it cut off

I downloaded an album in the itunes store and the first and last songs only play half way through in itunes and then stop. My iphone sync'd wirelessly and got the complete songs. Any ideas on what happened? Can I redownload them?

To be of any assistance I need more info.
Are they playing normal in iTunes or iPod?
if skipping in iPod, are you listening via the earphone jack or the iPod Docking station?
But if you dont like to share info, perhaps this link may help

ITunes only play half of a song

Hey, i just bought songs from iTunes and one of the songs is only played half way through and then iTunes skips to the next song. How can i fix that? thanks

1. Delete the song from your iTunes library
2. Redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links
(Quick Links is on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes)
3. Check and play song- it should play in its entirety now. If not contact support.

Match only plays half the song on my iphone

I use itunes match on my iphone but some of the songs are only half downloaded. It will play half the song and then skip to the next one but it appears on the screen that the first song is still playing.

When I encounter glitches like this the first thing I always try is to force quit the Music app. See if that helps.

ITuns just plays half a song

I have a problem with just one song actually. The song only plays till halfway and then iTunes skips to the next song, while Windows Media Player plays the song completely, so the problem lies with iTunes.
At first I had a short version of a song with a duration of 2:44. I found an extended version which was 5:00. I replaced the file of the short version (and removed this) with the file of the longer version. When I try to play the song, iTunesq gives a notification that the original file couldn't be found. I click 'Search' and select the new longer version of the song. When I then try to play the longer version, iTunes only plays 2:44 (duration of the short version) and then skips to the next song.
I also tried to remove the song of my iTunes library and add it again, but still I have the same problem, while there is no problem with WMP.
How can I solve this problem? I hope everything is clear.
Thanks

Drag the file to the desktop. Use Windows to modify its filename, e.g. by adding "long version" to the name. In iTunes, delete its library entry. Now re-add the file to your library. iTunes should create a new library entry with no memory of the old one.
PS - also as a check, right-click in iTunes, Get Info, look at the Options tab, and make sure that a "Stop" time is not set to less than the end of the song.

Some of my music downloads from the istore are only playing half the song. why is that happening?

how can I correct this problem? In fact I have even paid for them twice and they still play only half the song.

I have two recent purchases that stop with just a minute or two to go, so I'm going to follow this conversation, too.

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.

ITunes only imports half the song+running very slow!

Ok, so I've been reading through these postings and it looks as though many are experiencing the same issues! When I import a song to iTunes only portions of the file are imported, then iTunes skips ahead and downloads the next song. Also, the application runs very slowly and takes a long time to load. Are there any indications that suggest these issues will be resolved with the next update? Does anyone know when to expect the next version of iTunes? Will going to the Apple Store help my cause? I just spent $300 and I want this to work. What should I do? Also, it says I'm running v 6.0.0.18???

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
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.

Shuffle only plays half a song

Help-my shuffle only plays if I hit rewind. Halfway through the song it quits and only restarts if I start over several minutes later. It is unresponsive until that time.

What I would try first is deleting that song (assuming what you're talking about is happening with a specific song), then refilling the shuffle so as to overwrite the memory that was used by the song (prevent the song in question from being reloaded). If this works, you should be able to reload the song in question later and have it work. (The assumption behind this is the file on the shuffle has somehow gotten corrupted.)
If that doesn't work, I'd restore the shuffle.
Good luck

TS5181 Why does iTunes Radio play the same songs over and over?

I've been listening to the Chill Out Jazz station at work and love it, but it keeps playing the same songs over and over now...for weeks. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've found the same thing on the 80's channels...they just play the same 15 or 20 songs over and over.

There is a Repeat setting. It can be set to repeat ONE (repeat current song), ALL (repeat current list), or OFF (do not repeat). It is probably set for ONE.
On the nano's Now Playing screen, there is a symbol that looks the two arrows in a loop. You may need to swipe the screen to see it. Tap that button to change the Repeat setting.

TS1424 my itunes song says it was downloaded completly but it only plays half the song. what do i do?

itunes downloaded all my songs but on two only half of it played..what do i do?

Delete the tracks from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track files to the Trash. Then download the tracks again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I just downloaded a album on Itunes and it only plays half the song on ever song?!?

I want the full songs or my money back!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the 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.

ITunes only plays half a podcast

I have an audio podcast. On my phone, it is 1 hour and 54 minutes, but on iTunes on my mac it is only 58 minutes (Mavericks 10.9.4).
I have tried going to the properties of the podcast and changing the start and end times, but i can't change the end time to anything more than 58mins...
Any ideas?

In my case i am using a firefox browser, all you have to do is to download the add-ons "download helper" nd once you've downloaded it, you'll see a talisman look like on the upper left corner on the sreen and you can now start to download. HOW???
just play the song you like on the net and once you've see the download helper moving it means that it automatically looking for the source of the file.
just click it and you'll see a selection from the download helper
and if you want to make sure that it will work, you can also format the song by using FORMAT FACTORY, you can view the tutorial on youtube.
i hope it helps, because im still doing it now for my husband
addition it is absolutely FREE!!!
