Why has iTunes suddenly decided to change songs more than halfway though the current song?

Recently I have been having issues with playing content in iTunes. My issue is that I will play a song and within the last minute or two of the song iTunes decides I no longer want to listen to that song and picks another song of it's choosing. This is beyond frustrating as I cannot listen to any songs completely whether they were purchased or ripped to iTunes. I really hope there is a simple solution to this problem that I'm just overlooking. I never had this problem before the latest iTunes update that I can recall. I'm already not a fan of the new layout of iTunes as I was perfectly happy with the former. So I'm hoping perhaps this is just a settings change that needs to be made.
Does anyone in the iTunes for Windows community have any solutions to this problem?

The songs were playing as recently as last week. They will play in iTunes.
The music that most recently refuses to play are two albums my husband purchased through his iTunes account over a year ago and which we copied to my iTunes as well. We've both played them in each of our Macbook Pro's iTunes and we've been able to play them through both of our Apple TV iTunes accounts until last week.
Now neither of us can play them in Apple TV, but we can both play them in our iTunes. We don't know how much other music is affected because we have thousands of songs in our iTunes and don't have time to go searching If we can get to the bottom of the prob with these albums, it might help us if we run into the prob with others.

  • HT204074 "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it." Then why does iTunes not let me authorize any more than 5 devices?

    Why can't I authorize more than 5 devices if the help information says I can have 10?

    Probably because of the GUIDs. When you upgrade or change hardware this tends to happen, especially on PCs.

  • Why has itunes suddenly stopped opening???

    Has worked on this pc for ages
    I havent done anything to my pc recently, like download new software.
    Tried everything i can think off, inc resintalling it.
    I click on the icon, the circular processing symbols flashes for a second, and then nothing - it wont open.
    Any help HUGELY appreciated!

    Let's see whether this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?

  • Why has Time machine been backing up for more than a week on Ethernet?

    I recently had to format my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard). Fortunately I was using Time Machine on Time Capsule. I was able to restore from my last backup everything as it was before.
    However, after all that, backing up for the first time was taking too long (105 GB) on Wifi so I connected my laptop to the time capsule using an ethernet cable. The first 35GB backed up in a few hours... but it has taken a WEEK to go from 35GB to 70GB!!
    Why is this taking so long? What can I do to speed up the process? I am worried that if I cancel the backup I'll have to start all over again...

    Hi V,
    Cancel it. There may be an issue, so it might never finish. Or, it could just be a hiccup, and by starting it over it will complete in a few hours at most.
    When you quit it, run Repair Disk on the TM HD, and Verify disk on your internal HD (from Disk Utility).

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

  • Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto file?  I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them.  I can not upload pictures to software like Shutterfly for the same reason.

    Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto function?  I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them.  This has happened suddenly as if there were some keystrokes that changed the previous pattern. I am not able to upload pictures to programs such as Shutterfly because I can not find them.  When I try to upload, the computer takes me to an iTunes folder.

    How are you uploading?

  • Why has mail suddenly started saying that my outgoing mail server is offline?

    Why has mail suddenly started saying that my outgoing mail server is offline?
    I can receive mail from my ISP using Apple Mail but as of this morning I can't send via my ISP.
    When I check Mail preferences, they say that my ISP's outgoing mail server is "offline".
    I haven't changed any settings, so  what's gone wrong? I need a fix. At the moment I'm having to use Gmail.

    If your email is hosted by Google then there are several known issues with Apple Mail under Mavericks accessing Gmail.  Using a web browser is a good backup.  In Apple Mail you can goto the menubar, choose Mailbox and choose take all accounts offline.  Then bring them back online.  Worst case you may need to delete and readd the account (usually if something was setup wrong) Menu bar - Mail > Accounts.
    If you have turned on 2 step Google Authentication then you'll need to issue a specific email password for Apple Mail to use to bypass authentication.  Google the steps.
    Best of luck in getting your mail server online.  Hopefully you can specify multiple servers in settings.

  • Why has my ringtone and sounds changed?

    Why has my ringtone and sounds changed? Even though it shows the songs I have chosen it still uses default tones etc I have tried to change them but it still uses default ones.

    I have this problem too. 4 of my favourite contacts ringtones won't stay as the ones I have selected. They keep reverting to the tone "opening" which isn't even my default one. Has anyone got a solution to this very annoying fault?

  • HT4060 Suddenly my iPad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What does this mean. Why has it suddenly appeared?

    Suddenly my I pad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What accessory? What does this mean? Why has it suddenly happened? What do I do?

    Hi Eileen,
    With iOS 7, the devices have become more sensitive to the type of cable that is being used to charge the device. I have found that with my iPhone 4, once I upgraded to iOS 7, it became a little more sensitive to even my iPad charger. It doesn't always recognize it if I just plug it in, but if I slide it in slowly until I hear the charging tone, then I can push it the rest of the way in, and everything works as it should.
    Any chance the cable is bent or frayed? How long have you had the device and cable? If it is under a year old, take it into the Apple Store (device and cable) so you can show them what is happening. They should replace your cable.
    Cheers,

    It is not possible to delete Safari, it may have moved to a different screen.  Do a search for the app or you can click on your settings>general>reset then select reset home screen layout.

    since there is no info in your profile, which ma model, os, which iTunes you are using, limits anybody from delving deeper into your problem.
    Update your profile, you will probably get more help.

  • Why Garageband doesn't let me send email more than 10 mb suddenly since today 1/10/14

    Why Garageband doesn't let me send email more than 10 mb suddenly since today 1/10/14.
    Just destroy my business of voice over. It makes me furious first thing in the morning!!Why????

    hey leonie you just don't get it,
    I understand your issue very well, only there is no solution but to use the provided tools in iOS 8.
    It looks like Apple blocked large email attachments completely for any app. I cannot mail any file larger than 10 MB in any way from my iPad or iPhone, neither photos nor videos. all ill bring up this warning.
    Since downgrading to iOS 7 and the earlier GarageBand version is not supported by Apple, you can only send feedback to Apple and report a usability problem and request a feature change.
    Use this form:  Apple - GarageBand IOS - Feedback
    BTW: none of my friends or family members can receive attachments larger than 10MB. It is only our university network that allows to mail larger files.
