Why won't iTunes play songs all the way through?

I don't understand, and I am very frustrated... I JUST PAID for a bunch of music on iTunes & there are a few songs that play all the way through to completetion. For instance, I bought Rihanna's album LOUD & the song Fading only plays to :54 seconds; after which it claims to have played all the way through and skips to the next song? What the ****? I dont understand what the problem is... Help?

Delete the songs from your itunes library (just your library). Redownload them from the purchased section in the itunes store. I had the same problem and redownloading it worked for me.

  • ITunes 10.4 not playing songs all the way through

    Hi all,
    I am having an issue with iTunes 64bit 10.4. My songs don't play all the way through, sometimes playing a few seconds before skipping to the next one and sometimes well into the song before skipping (without any predictable pattern even for the same song). It doesn't seem to be an issue with the transfer of music files from old computer to new computer b/c the same thing happens with new iTunes Store downloads and when I play music stored on my old computer through Home Sharing.
    Any ideas what may be causing this? Thanks for your help!

    Same problem on my daughter's MacBook Pro that we bought last month. She started off with iTunes 10.4, upgraded to iTunes 10.7. Probably 64 bit, though I haven't checked. I think all the new Macs are obligatory 64 bit. The problem occurred with iT 10.4, and still happens with iT 10.7 So far, we have noticed the problem only on files transferred from an old computer. In particular, these are the m4p format, which are drm protected. It does not happen with all m4p files, though.
    1) In this incarnation, the problem is entirely reproducible. If the same track is played over, it skips to the next track at exactly the same point.
    2) The files are not corrupt. They can be played all the way through using Quicktime Player.
    Other than that, I haven't a clue.

  • ITunes won't play song all the way through

    I purchased a song from the iTunes store and when I try to play it in iTunes, it plays the first 20 seconds of the song and then skips to the next song. Can this be fixed?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • IPod won't play song all the way through?

    My iPod Classic skips a song at the 1:22 mark (shows the correct 7:04 running time) and begins next tune. One song out of 3,000 or so. Interesting.
    What's up with that?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hmmm.  Does this problem track play okay in iTunes? 
    Either way, I would try downloading a fresh copy of it again from iTunes via iCloud as explained in this Apple support document.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Then remove the originally downloaded version and sync the new one over to your iPod Classic.

  • Why is my iTunes volume turned all the way down every time I launch the program?

    Everytime I launch iTunes I get a warning and my iTunes volume is volume is turned all the way down. How do I fix this?

    This worked for me:
    Close iTunes
    Open Finder and navigateto: Users>YourAccountName>Library>Preferences>com.apple.iTunes.plist
    Move that file to the desktop
    Launch iTunes (which will create a new prefs file)
    If the problem is now fixed, move that prefs file from the desktop to the Trash. There might be some personal settings in iTunes you will need to re-do.

  • Music will not play all the way through

    I have created a slide show in Iphoto '11 with 98 pictures. The show is 7 minutes long. I want to play music all the way through but it will only play 2 songs then the music stops. I have added more songs but only the first 2 will play. I have tried numerous times to add more songs but cannot get past the first 2.  I have an iMac OS 10.6.7, 4GB memory, 3.06GHz. Thanks for any help.
    Joe

    I have tried that setting but then the whole show is messed up, some pictures freeze and some just zip through. If i only choose one song it will repeat for the entire show, if I pick 3 songs only 2 will play and the rest of the show is silent.

  • 4 albums purchased from iTunes yesterday have songs not playing all the way through. They play for a period of time and skip to the next song. Everytime they are played. Can anyone help?

    Some songs I purchased last night are not playing all the way through. Several songs from the 4 albums I purchased play for a period of time then just skip to the next song. The songs that do this, do it everytime they are played at the exact same spot. The songs that are affected skip to the next on iTunes on my PC which is updated to the most current iTunes and my 160gb iPod classic. Everytime they are played at the exact same spot. However on my other device, iPhone 4s all songs play just fine. I have almost 7,000 songs on my iPod and this has never happened before and I have played it awhile since downloading those albums yesterday. This is only happening with the albums purchased yesterday. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong?

    I'm having the same issue with a few songs I just downloaded. It skips randomly in the middle of the song.

  • HT1349 My songs in iTunes are not playing all the way through on my MAC or my iPod?

    My songs in itunes are not playing all the way through on my MAC

    Quicktime Player should already be installed on the Mac. If you transferred Quicktime from a VAIO it will not run on a Mac -- no PC software will without using a special interface.
    Right click or control+click on one of the files, then > Open with Quicktime Player.
    I already suspect that since these files will  not play completely on any of your devices that you have an incomplete download.

  • I just downloaded an album off of itunes and now it will not play all the way through. how do i fix the unfinished songs

    i downloaded tragic kingdom by no doubt and about four of tthe songs will play about forty seconds in and switch to the next song, they do not play all the way through. i went through troubleshooting online but it was unhelpful and did not fix my problem. i need help, please!

    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".

  • Why wont my songs play all the way through

    Hi,
    I bought the Fall Out Boy PaxAm Days album a few months ago and it the songs wouldn't play on the computer I purchased them on. So today I tried a different computer and they all downloaded but half of the songs will not play all the way through. I'm perturbed that I can't play them or get my 5 dollars back.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello GHarchack,
    It sounds like you made a purchase from the iTunes Store and downloaded the songs but they will not all play the entire way through. It sounds like the files in question may not have downloaded completely. Try deleting the affected songs from your computer:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
    Then you can redownload them from your purchased history usign the following article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
    Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
    Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
    In the page that appears, select a category.iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
    To download an item, click its Download button .
    If the issue persists I would reach out to our iTunes Support team directly with the following article:

  • HT3775 Why won't a video clip play all the way through without stopping and loading so many times?

    Any video clip that comes via email will not play all the way through without stopping so many times to load that a short clip takes 10 minutes to watch.  Sometimes, the video simply stops and loads forever and ceases to work at all.
    This happens for Youtube videos also.
    I am using a Snow Leopard Imac.

    This happens for Youtube videos also.
    Uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstall new.
    Very important to uninstall the old first.
    Uninstall >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Then reinstall new from here >   http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Then restart your Mac.

  • Songs not playing all the way through.

    When playing songs in iTunes, whether bought in iTunes or not, sometimes the song stops playing with 30 seconds left and goes to the next song.  Why is this happening and how do i fix it?

    SOLVED.
    For a purchased song from iTunes that wont play all the way through, I did this:
    Deleted the file from iTunes, including iCloud (if you have it)
    Went back to trash and removed it to the desktop and re-added it back into iTunes.
    File that did play only 1:23 of 3:00 mins now plays all the way through without skipping ahead/cutting off the rest of the song.
    Synced re-imported song back to iPod and it plays perfectly. Can't believe this hasnt been figured out yet! Or even Apple support suggesting this.
    The hard part is figuring out which songs do this as I only discovered the tracks by random shuffle and thought wth? Why wont it finish playing? Good luck guys. Hope this helps.
    Did you notice if the problem was with imported tracks or purchased only tracks? It seems all mine were purchased tracks from the iTunes store with the extension .m4p

    Why won't Itunes play my music on my windows laptop?

    I was on the same boat, bud! I saw you had the exact same problem as I did and decided to come back to help you out.  On another apple discussion page, a user--Charlicharli-- posted a link to download and everything seems to be fine now.  Apparently we had to check with Lenovo.  We were looking in all the wrong places for the fix!
